Fantasy: Life Simulation As A Sword - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Swindling People Using My Name

However, renting one of the cultivation rooms was also extremely shocking-one hour in these rooms priced around 100 gold coins or a low-quality energy stone. More than 2000 gold coins could be consumed within a day.

Energy stones were stones with transcendent energy. The colorful stones Arthur had seen on the magic spaceship were also energy stones!

Energy stones were divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and top quality. Both mages and transcendents could absorb the energy contained inside of the rocks. Furthermore, energy stones were very pricey. In fact, even the lowest-quality energy stone held a price of 2000 gold coins.

After Arthur entered the academy, he exchanged gold coins for more than ten energy stones.

At the door of the cultivation room, Arthur paid a sufficient deposit and entered the room. After sitting cross-legged, Arthur felt his entire body being enveloped by a shocking amount of energy. Even if he didn’t meditate, even breathing slowly already increased his strength.

The effect was even better when he sat inside the room to practice martial arts techniques.

Arthur calmed down and opened the book in his hand. Suddenly, the aura of an asura and the glorious sun appeared in Arthur’s mind. The two opposing but equally powerful forces left the book and rushed into Arthur’s body.

Color filled Arthur’s eyes. His left eyes shone with golden light like the sun, while his right eye was cold and powerful like an asura. The two forces wildly traveled Arthur’s body, attacking every cell and muscle fiber in his being.

After being hit by these forces, Arthur felt his strength increase rapidly. He was immersed in the pleasure of becoming stronger as he cultivated during both day and night.

While Arthur was in cultivation, the students who passed the assessment from other places had also arrived. Soon, the vast academy became livelier.

After seven quiet days passed, Arthur stopped his cultivation. He opened his eyes, a compelling aura pouring out from his body. The two forces of the asura and the sun had perfectly fused in his body.

Arthur waved his hands, making everything return to normal.

Seven days of cultivation had already allowed his grasp of Shining Sun Asura Strike to reach its limit. Additionally, he had also risen from the early stages of energy level two to the middle stages of the level. His body had become even stronger.

As for his combat strength, he had already reached the peak of energy level two. With Lu Yu’s support, he could even fight against an energy level three user.

After feeling the tyrannical power flow around in his body, Arthur didn’t want to continue. After a week of cultivation, he had already reached his limit. Therefore, he needed to stabilize his new strength.

Arthur walked out of the cultivation room. He took out the map that hadn’t been opened for a long time and walked toward his dormitory.

Halfway through, Arthur saw a group of plainly-dressed freshmen. He could hear what they were discussing.

“Did you know? Yesterday, a genius came to the academy. I heard that he’s Viscount Hegnarse’s son.”

“He became a transcendent when he was ten years old. This year, at the age of eleven, he had already reached energy level two. Apparently, he was personally recruited by this academy’s dean to enroll here!”

“Moreover, a student from the neighboring dukedom didn’t awaken an ordinary energy, but instead Red Flame energy!”

“A lot of people have said that with this kind of energy, you won’t encounter any bottlenecks before energy level six, and the height of potential you have is terrifying! You would be a genius among geniuses!”

“What?!”

As a student shared his recent knowledge of geniuses, the other students all gasped.

They were also transcendents, and they were already stronger than many others as they were able to enroll into the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy. However, after enrolling into the academy, they felt their talent wasn’t worth mentioning. Alas, they couldn’t be compared to true geniuses.

At this moment, another freshman walked forward and said, “The people you’re talking about are all nobles. They are talented, but their strength hasn’t grown yet.”

“But I know one person. He’s a commoner and he’s already very strong. Moreover, he’s probably the strongest person in this batch of new students.”

“He once defeated two seniors who had studied in the academy for more than a year. Those who came from Cantero City all know about this!”

Hearing this student’s words, everyone’s eyes widened. They looked at each other and said in shock, “Is that really possible?”

“The academy’s cultivation period lasts for a total of four years, and the students’ improvement in each year is terrifying. Those who can defeat the higher-grade students while in the lower grades are considered geniuses.”

“But this person was able to defeat a senior before he even entered the school. What kind of talent does he have?”

Everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief when they heard the freshman’s words. Out of the blue, a confident voice resounded in everyone’s ears.

OW

“Are you talking about Arthur? Hey, I know him!”

“He’s my junior. Back then, I lived in the same place he did. Additionally, I was the one who trained him. You could say that Arthur wouldn’t be where he is today if it weren’t for

me.”

A fat man wearing an exclusive uniform which belonged to senior students said. With a big shoulder and a round waist, he also had a red face and eyes that seemed like lines. He spoke in a proud tone.

Then, he lowered his voice as if he was telling a secret, “I know everything about him, especially his victory over Grott and Ferguson.”

“I’m also well aware of his affair with Jynx, one of the famous beauties in this academy.”

His face revealed a perverted smile that all men understood as he spoke.

The freshmen saw that the senior knew Arthur and had even taught Arthur before, so they immediately leaned over. To guide the number one freshman, he must be an expert. If he could teach them, they would receive great benefits.

Arthur looked at the fatty who was surrounded by the freshmen and frowned. On the other hand, Lu Yu laughed when he saw the situation.

It had only been a few days since school started, and someone was already using Arthur’s name to spread rumors. Wasn’t this the case of a swindler?

Arthur frowned. He didn’t want to waste time by getting involved with this. Thus, he turned to leave.

However, he clearly heard the fatty’s following words.

“As freshmen, if you can get to know a top-notch expert, it will bring you countless benefits in the future.”

“I’ll introduce you to Arthur if you give me two low-grade energy stones or 5000 gold coins.”

“Think about it, this is an opportunity to befriend a top genius in advance! After you succeed, you won’t have to worry about neither the resources in the academy nor your future outside!”
