Chapter 5355Zi Yuan raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a confident smile: “Fellow Daoist Chen, you don’t know that the cultivation method and knowledge in my Divine Kingdom complement each other. In the process of reading and gaining knowledge, your understanding of the spiritual power of heaven and earth will become more profound, andyour cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.” “Furthermore, the Divine Kingdom’s schools also have training grounds. The students combine work and rest, so their strength should not be underestimated.”At this moment, the bell in the school rang, and a group of students filed out and walked towards the training ground. David’s eyes flashed, andhe suggested, “Miss Zi, since that’s the case, could you please let me witness the cultivation style of the Divine Kingdom students?”Zi Yuan, though somewhat skeptical, didn’t want to lose her composure in front of David, so she nodded and agreed, “Very well, Fellow Daoist Chen, please follow me.”The two of them arrived at the training grounds, where they saw dozens of students unleashing their magical powers.Some, shrouded in golden divine patterns, manipulated spiritual energy into sharp blades, slashing through the void; others chanted incantations, summoning the power of space and whipping up a fierce wind.Their moves were fluid and coordinated, evidently the product of long training.David, outwardly amazed, was secretly analyzing the situation.These students were indeed quite skilled for their level, but their fighting styles were too rigid and lacked flexibility.If he were to encounter an opponent of equal strength but with treacherous tactics, he would probably find it difficult to cope.While observing, he discreetly conversed with Zi Yuan, trying to extract more information about the Kingdom of God from her words, especially clues related to the theft of the Leiyin Bell.However, Zi Yuan seemed to have been prepared, and her words were always watertight, making it difficult for David to break through.At this moment, a male student glanced over and then walked straight over.The male student, dressed in a brocade blue academic robe and wearing a jade pendant engraved with the Chinese character “Wei” at his waist, had a handsome face yet a hint of arrogance. Uponseeing David standing shoulder to shoulder with Zi Yuan, his brows furrowed. He bowed to Zi Yuan and spoke gently, “Master Zi Yuan, what brings you to the training ground?”As he spoke, his gaze raked over David like a sharp sword, carrying undisguised scrutiny and hostility, as if sizing up something of inferior quality.Zi Yuan smiled faintly and introduced, “This is Fellow Daoist David, fresh from the Fifth Heaven. I’m showing him around the academy. This is Lord Weiwei’s son, Wei Feng.”The scorn in Wei Feng’s eyes deepened at the mention of “Fifth Heaven.” He nodded perfunctorily at David, his tone aloof and polite, “So you’re from the Fifth Heaven. No wonder you look unfamiliar. This academy is a sacred place in the Divine Kingdom, not just anyone can visit.”He clearly didn’t take David, a First-Rank Earth Immortal, seriously, especially since he was a human cultivator from a lower world.Zi Yuan looked at the two with a half-smile, not interrupting, clearly pleased to see Wei Feng putting pressure on David.Seeing Zi Yuan didn’t stop him, Wei Feng grew bolder and deliberately raised his voice, “Fellow Daoist Chen, I see you seem quite interested in the academy. However, I must remind you that the Divine Kingdom Academy teaches profound knowledge inherited from ancient times.It touches upon the laws of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the soul, and is far beyond the reach of your superficial Fifth Heaven methods. I’m afraid even if you were allowed to stay, you wouldn’t even grasp the slightest bit of this knowledge.”His words were both boastful and blatantly insulting.The surrounding students, hearing the commotion, paused their training and gathered around curiously, their gazes flickering between the three of them, many with a look of anticipation on their faces.David, however, smiled nonchalantly, his tone calm, “Young Master Wei, you’re mistaken. The true meaning of learning lies in practical application, not pretense of sophistication.I just flipped through a few tomes in the library, and they’re all about the glory of the Divine Race and the inferiority of other races. They don’t even mention the truly crucial balance of soul and spiritual power in cultivation. Such knowledge is better left unlearned.”noveldrama
