I have slowly started to adapt to life here. Xiaopu has been very good to me, helping me with everything and telling me what to do. Grandpa Ronda visited me once; he told me to focus on my cultivation and that he and the others couldn't appear openly but would protect me from the shadows. There are some things he couldn't disclose. I wonder what Qiu is busy with; is he doing well? We are about to undergo a field trial, and thinking back to the times I fought alongside Qiu feels like it happened just yesterday. It has been about half a month by human standards since I came here, but I don't feel anything at all. Here, I don't need to sleep or eat; I rely entirely on cultivation for recovery. Although there is no distinction between day and night, it is still 24 hours a day here. While I don't need to sleep, the academy has dormitories, as recovery requires quiet meditation, and having a relatively peaceful place is essential. There are shared dorms, while some special ones are private; those like me who got in through connections have private rooms.
Here, abilities are distinguished by color. Each battle involves Soul Energy protecting us. In the human realm, Qiu protects me, but now that I'm here, I've learned that every ghost and demon is born with skills—defense and attack being the two basic types. However, these skills require improvement through practice, along with summoning skills that can only be acquired after taming magical beasts. There are also a few auxiliary skills that mainly come into play during Team Battles, helping replenish one's own and teammates' Soul Power. The remaining skills, such as flying and recovery, are considered special skills that rely entirely on one's talent. One can choose which area to specialize in based on their own conditions since cultivating all aspects is quite difficult.
I estimate that I am at the Warrior level; this is what I discovered during my cultivation. This should be considered high among newcomers since I have accumulated experience from actual battles. Additionally, due to Pure Sound, I have gained several skills that I cannot yet use but will be able to cultivate once my Soul Power is sufficient.
The strength levels here are divided into Seventh Level: Death Warrior, Warrior, Reaper, Nether Sect, Lord of the Underworld, Saint of the Underworld, and Supreme Lord. Each level is further divided into three tiers: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The Death Warrior level acts as a watershed; every being here possesses basic skills, and reaching a higher tier means attaining the Death Warrior level.
Reaching the Death Warrior level signifies that one can cultivate Six Elements. Although it seems like just one level difference, countless talents and mediocre individuals have struggled to achieve it. A Warrior corresponds to one of the Six Elements: Wind.
Following this pattern: Water Element corresponds to Warriors; Reaper corresponds to Thunder Element; Nether Sect corresponds to Electric Element; Lord of the Underworld corresponds to Fire Element; and Snow Element corresponds to Yin. The final Supreme Lord level allows one to fuse two or more of their most powerful elements from among the Six Elements to create their strongest techniques.
Azure Wind, Blue Water, Gray Thunder, Golden Lightning, Red Fire, and White Snow indicate the opponent's level; the color of Soul Energy during battle varies accordingly.
In addition to these basic Six Elements, there are many other skills that generally arise from continuous reproduction within one's species; they differ greatly and are not shared outside their kind. Even if they were shared, they would be of little use as they typically only apply within their own race. Of course, there are also some extremely precious skills; if you possess sufficient ability, you can acquire these skills through various means—this is what everyone strives for in their quest for strength.
Currently, I am in a state of soul projection similar to that of the Demon Clan here; one could say it is exactly the same. Most students are around the first three colors; I've heard some talented seniors can reach gold or red levels while most elders and strong individuals reach the Realm of the Supreme Lord. Legend has it that there are seven Supreme Lords whose Fusion Techniques can merge with each other—when they strike together, it can shake the heavens and earth—but they have long since hidden away while guarding the underworld.
Of course, all this information was told to me by Qiong; she can only appear before me in the dormitory along with Jian.
"Miss Xi Dream, are you saying you are now at the intermediate Warrior level? That's incredible! Can you show me your Soul Energy?"
"Sure." A layer of faint blue light enveloped me.
"This speed is incredible, Jian. You should report to the master. Miss, you must be considered a genius here." Qiong's eyes sparkled; this expression meant she was eager to dissect my research.
"I'm not a genius. I usually make the most of my time practicing. Before coming to the Underworld, I had guidance from a prisoner, and I've had plenty of practical experience. In short, I'm not a genius." There’s also Pure Sound, but I didn't mention it. The fewer people who know about it, the better; after all, its allure is too great.
"Miss, you don't understand. In this Underworld, among all the demons and spirits, only about half can reach Death Warrior. Those Little Sprite ghosts will never achieve Death Warrior even if they practice until death. The Death Warrior level signifies magical talent; only by reaching Death Warrior can one become strong. Given your age, this progress is simply astonishing."
Before I could respond, I was interrupted.
"Xi Meng, hurry up! It's time to divide into groups!" A loud shout came from outside; it was Xiaopu.
Qiong vanished. I opened the door; this little girl really has an impatient personality. "Xiaopu, why are you in such a hurry? It's still early, and besides, it's not up to us to decide. Once it's posted, we can't escape it anyway." Sigh, just like an elementary school student.
"Hehe, I'm just anxious because I want to be in the same group as you. This event involves the whole academy; we’ll be in groups of four with two upperclassmen leading two new Students. The chances of us being in the same group are too slim."
"Alright, but it's not certain yet. Let's go take a look." I closed the door, and Xiaopu pulled me toward the bulletin board.
"Quickly look for our group! Where are we?" Xiaopu was seriously scanning the grouping list while mumbling softly.
"Seriously, they actually made me and Prince Silvermoon lead two newbies; I've wasted this opportunity to interact with Prince Silvermoon." A sharp female voice sounded from my right; it was clear she was difficult to get along with.
"I found it! Hehe, Xi Meng, we're in the same group! Let me see... Oh my god, how could it be them?" Xiaopu trembled as she spoke. Following her finger, I saw 'Group 36: Silvermoon Fire Fan Xi Meng Xiaopu.' My face involuntarily twitched as I mechanically turned my head. That girl with red hair and an ultra-short red dress—could she really be our group member? She was surrounded by several girls of similar age who were flattering her with something. The girl in fiery red raised her head proudly and turned away.
"Xi Meng, there is a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" I turned my face, and Xiaopu looked at me with a troubled expression.
I think I guessed it. "Let's start with the good one."
"This time we are working with the two top geniuses from the academy, Student. We will definitely learn a lot and it will be much safer."
"Then the bad news is that these two are very difficult to get along with?" I elongated the word "very."
"Well, not exactly. Prince Silvermoon is just a bit quiet and doesn't like to talk, but he won't be too hard to get along with. It's just that the other one, named Fire Fan, is quite proud. She relies on her family background and can walk all over others in the academy. The instructors turn a blind eye because of her high talent and her family's connections with the principal. Plus, everyone in the academy knows she likes Prince Silvermoon, so I hope we won't become her targets."
"Xiaopu, I think we already are..."
