Chapter 9: The World of Academic Elites

After the Elder of Transmission returned Hu Gao to his original residence in Qinggao, he mentioned that there were still some urgent matters within the clan that needed to be addressed today. After speaking, he took out a book titled "The Original Explanation of Totems" from his bosom and handed it to Hu Gao

Thinking of this, Hu Gao picked up the book "Totem Original Explanation" left by the Elder of Transmission, turned his body over, propped his neck with one hand, and began to study it while lying on the bed.

Is it possible that the method of meditation is flawed? Hu Gao picked up the book and carefully flipped through it back and forth. After all, this is merely a basic reading material on totem explanations, and the introduction to cultivation is as insignificant as a booger, all smeared in some barely noticeable places, leaving it rather unclear

The sound of rushing water

Hu Gao sat up excitedly from the bed, quickly flipping to the part of the book that awakened the soul. It is quite simple to describe: it involves sensing the energy of heaven and earth through meditation, then channeling it into the body, and finally observing whether it can stimulate the soul. If the soul is stimulated, the power of the soul will automatically condense into a totem.

Who are you

Recently, due to a certain matter, the dean of the War Institute owes Hu Zhentian a significant favor. This time, with the patriarch personally intervening, securing Hu Gao's admission should not be a problem. However, it is necessary to complete some required procedures and one cannot go directly.

Tossing and turning in bed for a while, Hu Gao realized that he truly could not fall asleep; it seemed that his nerves were not robust enough after all

If only I could condense a mutated totem, then I could turn my fortunes around, trample on others, and attract beautiful women! What a joy that would be! After indulging in boundless fantasies, Hu Gao sighed. This body was originally meant for sacrifice, so its potential must not be great. Unless I were to encounter some stroke of luck, it would be difficult to achieve anything significant.

Hu Gao read the book in a glance, skimming through it in less than half an hour. For a top student like him, there were no obstacles in understanding the content of the book; however, the impact it had on Hu Gao was significant

For this reason, this is not a place that one can enter at will; each year, there are fixed quotas for enrollment, and once the school year begins, it is very difficult to gain admission.

Unlike the martial arts novels of previous generations, which are filled with phrases like "The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao," and offer no practical methods for cultivation, the writing style of this book is very plain and unadorned, entirely at the level of an elementary school science popularization book

Damn it, I didn't know you guys at https://www.hetushu.com were so snobbish, thinking I was useless and not taking me seriously! Hmph, just wait and see how powerful the so-called useless can be!" After estimating that the two had walked far away, Hu Gao let out a long sigh, spat on the ground in what he thought was an elegant manner, and muttered curses.

Although this book is basic, it is quite suitable for your current situation. For today, you can take a look at it, and I will come back tomorrow morning to teach you.

The power of the totem will grow stronger as the martial artist's own strength increases. As the totem becomes more powerful, the physical strength of the martial artist will also correspondingly increase

The strength of a totem affects the purity and intensity of the elemental force, which can be easily distinguished by color. The totems are classified into nine colors from the first to the ninth level, corresponding to red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and gold. Do not underestimate this aspect, as the ability to quickly identify the strength of an opponent's totem during battle can determine the outcome of the fight

I will arrange the admission to the Battle Academy. For the next few days, you should follow the Transmission Elder. Once the procedures are completed, I will come to notify you! Hu Yinxue also followed, her speed was even faster than that of the Transmission Elder.

If God wishes to destroy someone, He must first drive them mad. Hu Gao recalled this classic quote from Herodotus and suppressed his somewhat restless heart. It is natural to have a strong desire for knowledge about unfamiliar things, but it is not in Hu Gao's character to go against himself.

The Battle Academy, as the name suggests, is naturally an institution for training warriors. Given that the Longhua Kingdom values martial prowess, such academies are numerous.

The history of the Battle Academy in Ningcheng is not particularly long, spanning only about two hundred years. However, its ability to survive and establish itself as a neutral force amidst the complex family struggles in this region is no simple feat

In addition to the simple increase in strength, the totem also has effects similar to spells, enabling the bearer of the totem to possess the ability to control fire and water, which is truly remarkable

In addition to the nine major recorded totems, there are many more mysterious totems, which are collectively referred to as mutated totems due to the lack of detailed descriptions. It is said that martial artists who have refined mutated totems will experience astonishing cultivation speeds, and those who possess mutated totems are destined to become influential figures that will stir the winds and clouds of the Totem Continent in the future

Damn it, speaking of which, it seems I haven't had a single meal from another world at hetushucomcom! Hu Gao stretched out his hand and rubbed his stomach, wondering why, despite all having crossed over, the treatment is so different for everyone! Sigh, it truly is a case of different fates for the same journey.

Half a day had passed, and Hu Gao helplessly discovered that his body felt like an insulator, unable to sense even the slightest trace of the energy of heaven and earth.

Hu Gao was so startled that he almost fell out of bed! Could it be that the soul from his body has come to find him? Oh my gosh

All totems are divided into nine levels, ranging from the lowest first level to the ninth level. The higher the level of the totem, the greater the potential of the warrior, and the combat power within the same level is also higher

The main reason lies in the mysterious and formidable background of the dean of the Battle Academy, who may even surpass the heads of several prominent families. Additionally, the dean's impartiality allows the elites of these families to learn and compete in a relatively fair environment, leading to a tacit acceptance of his presence.

Self-styled as a scholar of experimental cultivation, Hu Gao ultimately chose to give up after attempting various perspectives and methods described in the book, combined with the various techniques of energy absorption he had encountered.

Sigh, since I'm bored anyway, I might as well take a look at what this otherworldly technique is all about at https://m.hetushu.com.

Qing Gao's residence appears to be quite acceptable, primarily because the bed is large enough. Without a word, Hu Gao directly threw himself onto it.

Just when Hu Gao did not know what to do, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind

It feels so comfortable, reminiscent of the pleasant sensation of returning to the dormitory to sleep directly after an all-nighter at an internet café. It would be even better if I could have some soy milk and fried dough sticks to fill my stomach first

Hu Gao positioned his legs in the manner described in the book and began to attempt it.

Finally, the book discusses two methods for refining totems. One method is self-awakening of the soul, which is possible due to the high affinity of the martial artist and their significant potential for growth. The other method involves cultivating through the acquisition of beast souls, where the potential for growth primarily depends on the beast souls and the degree of compatibility. Such experts are rarely seen across the entire continent

Watts, since there is nothing much to do now, why not try to awaken the soul according to the method in the book

It turns out that the power of this world is derived from totems. Before anyone can cultivate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, they must first awaken their soul and refine their totem. The higher the level of the totem, the faster the cultivation speed, and the greater the future strength will be.

Oh, ignorant youth, have you given up so soon
