The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1711
“What?”
“You… You don’t want to be the Fairy Doctor’s disciple? B-but… the Fairy Doctor has decided just now that you’ll be her disciple! If you changed your mind all of a sudden, she… She might not be happy about it, right?”
Flynn looked at Alex shockingly as if he was looking at an alien.
Alex shook his head. “I believe I didn’t promise to be her disciple, right? I’m not interested in the Elixir Department.”
“B-but, your status in the Flying Eagle Academy will skyrocket after you become the Fairy Doctor’s disciple. In the future, you might even stand a chance to stay in the academy as an instructor, and your future is going to be bright and smooth sailing! This is a great opportunity that ordinary people can never ask for.”
“Stay in the academy and become an instructor?”
“Yes, this is something that countless students can only dream of! You should think about it!”
Alex smiled. He was not interested in that at all. “Well, you don’t have to say it anymore. Your mission is completed. You can go now.”
Even though Flynn was a senior student of the Elixir Department, his alchemy skills could only be considered as introductory level. Concocting a pot of third-grade pills was difficult for him, not to mention his combat skills. He would have no chance to be on something like the combat strength leaderboard in this lifetime.
He looked at Alex and shook his head helplessly. He could only lament in his mind, ‘Comparing with one another will only anger myself. This freshman is too unusual.’
After Flynn left, Alex, Yuno and Holly walked around the main hall.
“Holly, what department would you like to enter?” asked Alex.
Holly’s target was very clear. “The Mountain Warriors specialise in sword cultivation, so I’ll definitely choose to be a sword cultivator. Since sword cultivation is a side branch of the Combat Department, I’ll choose the Combat Department.”
Alex nodded and turned to ask Yuno.
Yuno smiled. “Studying in the Combat Department here is like child’s play and a waste of time. But this department is quite interesting, so I’m going into this.”
She pointed her luxuriant finger at an admission office.
It read the Biology Department.
In fact, there was a detailed introduction at the entrance, introducing the details of each department. The Biology Department mainly studied the animals, plants, demonic beasts, bloodlines, blood, and so on inside the ancient force field.
After that, Alex accompanied Holly and Yuno to apply for admission. The admission notice was not needed because the Flying Eagle Academy had their information a long time ago. When Alex reported his name to Jade, the social file came out directly.
They just had to blink their eyes at the camera in the admission office to pass the facial recognition system and confirm their identity.
Alex had disguised himself previously.
So, during the admission, he had to reveal his true face.
He chose the Formation Department. Previously Jade told him that the people studying the formation blueprints were all aged, veteran scholars. There were no young people in the department. Furthermore, everyone had a strange temper.
Most importantly, the Formation Department had little presence in the Flying Eagle Academy. Even the monthly student welfare was basically absent.
Why?
Researching formation blueprints did not need cultivation nor consume resources. They did not even have any new students. So, why would they need welfare?
However, it turned out that the person in charge of the reception was a young girl. She had a head of short hair. She looked quite pretty in her twenties.
When Alex walked in, she was concentrating on writing and drawing on the table. She drew quite a few pictures.
Alex took a casual look at it, only to find that she was drawing talismans. She was using the ancient runes.
Sadly, when Alex casually looked over, he noticed at least twenty mistakes in it. Some of the errors were simply outrageous.
It was like making sentences with English characters, but what she made was a jumble of broken sentences that had no relevance at all.
‘It seems like she knows nothing about the ancient runes at all!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1712
Alex shook his head. He was too lazy to continue watching her, so he knocked on the table.
The girl seemed to be in shock The pen in her hand was tilted, causing another horizontal line to be formed on the talisman. The woman frowned, slapped the talisman pen down and stared daggers at Alex. “What’s wrong with you? What are you doing here? Do you know you’re disturbing me? I was about to finish the ancient talisman that I had drawn with great difficulty.
Now, it’s all ruined because of you. Can you afford to pay for it?”
Never did Alex expect that this person would be so hot tempered.
He thought, ‘Your talisman is not even as good as an elementary school student’s sentence. If it can be completed, it’d be a hell of a thing!’
After all, she was a receptionist at the admission office, so Alex had to put up with it.
He said, “Good day to you, I’m here for admission.”
“Good for what? I was fine before this. Once you come here, I’m not fine anymore.”
She paused for a moment and said, “What did you say? You’re here for admission?”
Alex nodded his head.
The girl was shocked. “Did you go to the wrong door? This is the Formation Department.”
Alex said, “I didn’t go to the wrong door. I know this is the Formation Department.”
The woman looked at him with a judgmental expression. “That’s strange. There are actually young people coming to learn the formation blueprint? Okay, but the Formation Department is not something you can join just because you want to. You’ll need to go through an examination. Wait a minute, you come with me!”
She gathered the talisman drawings on the table. She was still angry in her mind, muttering a complaint.
Alex pointed at the talismans in her hands and said, “Your talisman…”
He wanted to help her correct it. However, the woman turned over the talisman papers and glared at him with her beautiful eyes. “What talisman? It’s all your fault that you didn’t even knock on the door when you came in. Great now, I have wasted half a day’s work. Hmph!”
Alex wanted to be nice at first. But seeing her terrible attitude, he just shrugged his shoulders and did not say it.
The woman stood up. “Come with me!”
Ten minutes later, Alex followed her to a place with an elegant environment, but there was no one around. The woman pointed to a bamboo forest in front of her and said, “Here is the venue of your test. The instructor is in the hut behind this bamboo forest. As long as you go through this bamboo forest and enter the but within twenty four hours, you’ll be officially enrolled, understand?”
Alex looked at the bamboo forest and nodded his head with a strange expression. He thought, ‘This test is too easy. I can pass it with my eyes closed!’
What he did not know was the woman’s thoughts. ‘Hmph! Since you disturbed me drawing the talisman, I’ll let you take the most difficult spell formation test. Don’t blame me if you can’t pass this. My grandfather laid this Wandering formation personally, and it even took me ten minutes to go around it!’
Since she wanted to go in and look for her grandfather as well, she said, “Today is your lucky day as I happen to be going in too. So, I’ll show you how I’ll enter the formation. Good luck!”
With a sly smile, she bounced into the bamboo forest and disappeared in a flash.
Alex smiled.
The position where the woman entered the formation was the corner of this Wandering Formation. It was a radical location and not a normal entry location at all. Since she could get out of the Wandering Formation, she should not have taken that location. In fact, she only took that location to confuse Alex.
‘What short tempered and narrow minded little girl!’
Alex shook his head. He instantly raised his legs and stepped in through the front of the formation.
Under the divine eyes, all illusions were void. The so-called Wandering Formation was just a conjunction to him. It was unobstructed all the way through.
At this point, Alex saw the woman from before circling around in the formation by herself. Looking at her, she seemed to be quite familiar with this formation. He smiled gently as a whim struck him.
He made a seal with one hand, slapped out two ancient spiritual talismans into the formation. Immediately, this Wandering Formation started to have many changes.
He smiled gently at the woman, swayed his body, and walked out of the bamboo forest.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1713
Indeed, there was a house behind the bamboo forest. The exterior was classically shaped with white walls and black tiles that had the essence of Bartram’s Garden. There was also a large garden in the front courtyard that had a small bridge with flowing water inside it. The pavilion was picturesque.
It was small but complete in its contents.
He strode through the door. At this moment, he felt a fire-attributed energy rushing toward him, as if there was a burst of energy that was going to push him out of this place.
‘A force field?!’
‘This force field is interesting.’
Alex, who was standing at the entrance, stretched out his hand and pressed it on that force field.
Moments later, he knew what was going on. The force field and the spell formation in the bamboo forest were connected. They were considered as the same thing but the formation blueprints were used in different ways.
He slammed two spiritual talismans on it.
The force field went off with a swish and a door was opened.
Alex crossed through the door easily.
‘It seems that the instructor of the Formation Department here is not that good either!’
‘Should I go in or not?’
Alex was slightly hesitant. From the arrangement of the two kinds of formation blueprints, the person who laid the formation blueprints and force field was not as good as him. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if he were to enroll in the Formation Department?
However, at this time, he could feel the energy fluctuation of the ancient formation blueprint inside the house. Ancient runes were a kind of special existence that could communicate through the Path of God and alter law. Hence, the aura that emitted from them was different from normal runes.
As a whim struck Alex, he walked in quietly.
Eventually, he saw the energy fluctuation coming from a pavilion next to the small bridge in front of him. When he fixed his eyes on it, he saw two old men sitting in the pavilion while playing chess.
‘They can even release such a huge energy fluctuation while playing chess?’
‘These two old men must be powerful!’
Alex walked over step by step, only to realize that the two old men sat there without moving an inch. Their eyes were focused on the chessboard, as if they had not noticed Alex’s arrival at all.
He turned to look at the chessboard. He was startled in an instant.
Alex had also learned chess. His father, William Rockefeller, was someone who liked to play Othello chess. When Alex was still a kid, Willian taught him how to play chess. He also explained to him a lot of patterns of Othello chess. Yet, the Othello chess in front of him was played quite differently.
When he looked closer, his mind was drawn to the chess game. In his eyes, the chess game was no longer a chess game, but a starry sky.
Suddenly, a huge suction force sucked Alex’s divine consciousness. He was shocked all of a sudden. He wanted to escape immediately, but it was too late.
His divine consciousness was sucked and dragged into the chessboard.
Swoosh!
Alex’s divine consciousness appeared in an unfamiliar place. It was pitch black all around as if he was in the darkness. However, above him was a starry sky filled with stars. These stars flickered and flashed endlessly as they kept rotating and changing direction.
He looked underneath his feet.
It was a grid crisscrossed with horizontal and vertical lines. Right, didn’t the grid look like the ones on the chessboard?
‘I actually got sucked into the chessboard. What the hell is this chessboard?’
‘A treasure?’
Just as Alex was surprised, the two old men ran over while stumbling.
“Hey, you, kid, where did you come from?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1714
“How did you come in?”
Alex took a glance at them. Weren’t they the two old men that were playing chess at the pavilion whom he just saw? He looked at the two people and said, “Two seniors, what is this place?”
Out of the two old men, one was fat while the other was skinny. They both had white beards and white eyebrows. Certainly, those were not their physical bodies. They were just afterimages that appeared inside the place after their divine consciousness had been sucked in.
The fat one said, “If you don’t know where this is, how did you come in?”
Alex honestly replied, “I saw the two of you playing chess when I came in here. I watched it for a while but I didn’t expect my divine consciousness would be sucked here.”
The skinny one said, “You went into the Seven Star Residence?”
Alex remembered that when he walked through the bamboo forest and saw the garden-style house, the three words ‘Seven Stars Residence’ were certainly written on the plaque. He nodded. “Yes, I’m a freshman at the Flying Eagle Academy who wants to enroll in the Formation Department. A young girl at the admission counter said she wanted to put me through a test. She said that I would only be considered to have passed the test after going through the bamboo forest and entering the house.”
The skinny old man said, “ You’re talking about Gabby. She’s my granddaughter. That’s right, if you want to enter the Formation Department, you do need to go through a rest. But Old Yuron and I have worked together to set up the Seven Star Force Field at the Seven Star Residence. No ordinary man can enter it. Kid, tell me the truth. Who sent you here? Was it that old hag, Madam Drachen, who asked you to come and steal our Star Formation Board?”
“Star Formation Board?”
Alex looked above his head.
This surely was not any ordinary chessboard.
“Who is Madam Drachen? I don’t know her! As for this Seven Star Force Field of yours, with all due respect, this force field is too crude, and it’s the same as the Wandering Formation inside the bamboo forest. You must’ve set it up according to the formation blueprint of the Wandering Formation, right? I think those who can pass through the Wandering Formation can easily
break through that Seven Star Force Field.”
The two old men were instantly furious.
“Kid, how dare you underestimate our Seven Star Force Field?”
“Then tell us, how did you break through it?”
Alex shook his head. “I didn’t break through it.”
He just found the loophole easily.
The fat old man immediately glared at him. “Then, it must be Madam Drachen who broke it. You’re still denying that you’re going after the formation board. That old woman has been eyeing the Star Formation Board for a long time. Now, she’s finally impatient. She actually sent a kid to come and steal it! What a wishful thinking!”
The skinny old man said, “Since you’ve entered the Star Formation Board, don’t you ever think about going out there within seven days. Stay here and have a self-reflection properly!”
Then, he asked the fat old man, “How many days have we come here?”
The far one showed his fingers. “Three days.”
“Ah, then we should be able to get out in another four more days!”
After saying that, he sat on the ground, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed. “This Star Formation Board is really too profound. I don’t think we will ever be able to understand it in our lifetime.”
The other one said, “You’re probably right. We’ve been in here twenty three times, yet we still don’t have a clue. This Star Formation Diagram is constructed with ancient runes. With the two of us together, we only recognize a dozen ancient runes. What a drop in the ocean! Hmph, even if this formation board is given to Madam Drachen, she must be like us and wouldn’t
know where to start as well.”
Upon hearing their words, Alex roughly understood it. When one entered this place, he would automatically go out after seven days.
However, this was not the only way to get in and out. They should be able to get out if they could solve the
Star Formation Diagram above them.
He would not want to stay in this place for seven days.
So, he walked to the corner of the chessboard and looked at the stars in the sky. Soon, he found some hints. Those stars were actually the nodes of the Star Formation Diagram. Whereas, this diagram was all encompassing and was very huge, containing three hundred and sixty small formation blueprints.
It immediately gave Alex a huge headache.
It was the collection of three hundred and sixty formation blueprints. How long would it take for him to solve such a huge thing?
However, he noticed the first small formation blueprint in the entire collection corresponded to the formation blueprint of the first sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six in his hands, the Sword of the Universe.
He was very familiar with this formation blueprint.
At that moment, he made a seal with one hand, hooked the ancient runes and guided the nodes of the formation blueprint to their orientation.
Whoosh!
The star-like nodes above his head were slowly shifted by him.
When the two old men saw that scene, they abruptly jumped up and stared at the nodes. They looked at Alex again and shockingly ran up to him.
“Kid, you know how to shift the astral nodes?”
“You understand the formation?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1715
The two old men were extremely excited.
They had tried many ways to shift the astral nodes on this Star Formation Board but they could not shift it at all. Eventually, they made a conclusion: as long as they did not understand the purpose behind the ancient runes, they would never get to solve the spell formation on it.
But now, Alex was able to shift them. What did that mean?
That meant that not only did Alex understand the ancient runes, he knew this formation as well.
It was extremely shocking.
“Young man, I now believe that you aren’t summoned over by Madam Drachen, because Madam Drachen can’t summon someone like you. Madam Drachen is a piece of trash compared to you!”
“She can’t figure this spell formation out even if she were to study it for another three lifetimes.”
At this moment, Alex has invoked the Universe Formation Diagram above his head. Originally, those astral nodes were haphazardly placed on it without any rules. But after Alex invoked it, there was a change and the nodes on the Universe Formation Diagram glowed brightly, little by little.
One node, two nodes, three nodes…
The two old men were chattering at first, but when they saw such a scene, they immediately shut their mouths and stared closely at Alex’s action. Although they could not read it, they could feel the energy changes after the spell formation was triggered.
It was greatly rewarding.
Finally, Alex shifted the last node on the Universe Formation Diagram.
Suddenly, the Universe Formation Diagram shone brightly and slowly spun around in the midst of the astral nodes. Alex’s eyes brightened up as he became very excited.
He had taken a lot of effort to study this formation blueprint that corresponded to the first sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-six. But now, looking at the formation blueprint that kept moving and changing above him, he suddenly understood that his previous understanding was still too superficial.
This formation blueprint encapsulated all kinds of changes. Previously, he only managed to understand one of them.
He had a feeling that when he had gone through all the changes of this formation blueprint, his understanding in formation diagrams would definitely make great progress. On the other hand, his Sword of the Universe would be more powerful too.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and stared at the changes in the formation blueprint while calculating with his divine sense… Over and over, over and over.
The two old men looked at each other and immediately followed suit.
Unfortunately, their level was limited. They wanted to deduce it but there was no way to start. Just like an illiterate looking at an interesting story book, but could not read and could only look at the illustrations to make a wild guess.
However, they were satisfied even if it was just illustrations because they could not even see the illustrations back then.
After an unknown period of time, Alex lowered his head and closed his eyes without moving an inch. After another unknown period of time like this, he stood up again and began to invoke another formation blueprint.
He could tell it.
The next formation blueprint was the Seven Death Formation Diagram.
Even the order was the same as the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-six.
After invoking all of them, the Seven Death Formation Diagram also turned up. He sat down again, sensed and deduced it. After an unknown period of time had passed, he suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. If his divine consciousness spat blood, his body outside would also spit blood.
“Ah! Little master, what happened to you?”
“Why did you spit blood all of a sudden? Are you okay?”
After adjusting his breath for a while, Alex concentrated his divine consciousness again. He took a look at the formation collection above his head and said, “It’s okay. I was just too greedy and adventurous. It’s already my limit to be able to deduce the Universe Formation Diagram, yet I still wanted to continue deducing the Seven Death Formation Diagram. My divine consciousness is not that strong for now.”
He took a deep breath.
He continued, “Two seniors, do you want to go out? I‘ll go first!”
As he spoke, he formed a seal with both hands and then invoked the formation blueprint. Soon, a pitch-black portal appeared in the center of the chessboard.
Alex took the first step and stepped into the portal.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1716
Alex returned to his physical body after a pause in his divine consciousness. As expected, his body had also coughed up blood.
He regulated his breathing for a while and took out a medicinal pull before consuming it. He looked at the old man who had come out with him and said with a smile, “Both seniors, thank you!”
This Formation Board was really something great. However, it wasn’t his.
“You… Are you really here for enrollment? You want us to be your teachers?” The thin old man swallowed hard as thoughts ran through his mind. This boy was a treasure, and he needed him to stay.
Alex shook his head. “You people can’t be my teachers. Your formation levels are too low.”
The fat old man suddenly stood up and knelt before Alex with a thud.
“Senior, what are you doing?” Alex was startled.
The far old man prostrated before him and said loudly, “Master, please accept me as your disciple. I am called Owain Lester, and I will be your disciple from now on. If you have any needs, please tell me. I will never object to anything.”
The thin old man beside him took a glance at him. ‘Owain, you’re so shameless! This brat can even be your grandson. You’re really kneeling and asking him to be your master?’
Then, he too knelt down to the ground with a thud.
Not only that, he prostrated and knocked his head against the ground three times and said loudly, “Master, please accept this old man as your disciple too! From today on, I, Dewey Schulz, will be your disciple! No, this Seven Star Residence is my home. Owain is only a guest, so I should be Master’s first disciple!”
“D*mn it, Dewey, I was the one who asked first, why do you get to be the first disciple?”
“I’ve prostrated three times, and you only prostrated once. of course I’m the first disciple.”
“Nonsense, I prostrated once first before you prostrated three times.”
The two old men were actually quarreling about this sort of thing.
Alex watched from the side, stunned. It was the first time he had met such unethical old men. He quickly said, “Both seniors, get up first. I have no plans to accept any disciples.”
“Master!” Dewey knelt down again and crawled over to hug Alex’s thigh. “You have to accept me as your disciple. Otherwise, I’ll just kill myself right now! Also, I have a granddaughter named Gabby Schulz. She’s an outstanding beauty, and still a pure maiden. How about I let Master marry her?”
Alex’s eyes widened. There was actually such a thing!
Owain was anxious. He wasn’t married, so he didn’t have a granddaughter. But then, a whim struck him. “Master, Madam Drachen has a beautiful female apprentice, I can steal her away and have her serve you in bed!”
Alex was at loss. “Enough, get up, both of you!”
“Master, are you willing to accept us?”
As Alex looked at the chessboard on the table, his thoughts came alive.
The Star Formation Board was really good, and it was something he desired very much. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t find any teachers in the Flying Eagle Academy. If he could enter the Formation Board to study it, it would be better than anything else. So, he pointed to the board and said, “This Star Formation Board is too advanced for you people right now. You people don’t understand it at all! How about this, I’ll keep the board for now. Once I’m done studying it, I’ll teach you the formation blueprints inside it little by little. What do you think?”
In that instant, the two old men were overjoyed. “Thank you, Master!”
“Yes, Master!”
Alex immediately put away the Star Formation Board. Then, a whim struck him. He looked at the time, only to find that it was already the second day.
He had been inside the Formation Board for an entire day.
At this moment, a voice came from outside, “Grandpa, Grandpa, help!”
“Grandpa, where are you? It’s me, Gabby. I can’t get out!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1717
When he heard the voice, Alex’s expression shifted, laughing silently.
‘That stinking brat dares to play tricks with me? Oh, great now. It must be a pleasant feeling to not be able to get out after walking in the Wandering Formation for an entire day and night.’
Dewey’s face changed as he stood up and said, “Strange, that’s my granddaughter, Gabby. She has walked through the Wandering Formation at least a hundred times by now, and should be able to navigate her way with her eyes closed. How can she not get out?”
Then, he turned to Alex and said, “Master, can I go and see her?”
Alex said, “Of course. There’s no problem about it.”
After a pause, he continued, “Well, I was also brought in by your granddaughter. She has walked through the Wandering Formation more than a hundred times, yet she still can get lost inside it. I really want to know where she gets her brain from.”
Dewey looked embarrassed.
Owain secretly laughed and thought, ‘You sh*tty Dewey, you wanted to use your granddaughter to get closer to Master. Oh, great now! You’ve embarrassed yourself. I want to watch how you’re going to use your granddaughter to get into Master’s good graces. With that little IQ of hers, she’s not even fit to touch Master’s feet!’
The three of them walked out.
Alex calmly made two hand seals and removed the changes he had made in the Wandering Formation previously, returning it to its original state.
Dewey, who easily brought Gabby out from the Wandering Formation, was confused as he said, “Gabby, the Wandering Formation is exactly the same as before. How did you get trapped inside? Where did the intelligence in your brain go?”
Gabby had been trapped the entire day. In addition to the freezing weather outside, it had snowed last night.
She, who had shivered the entire night to endure the cold, could no longer bear it and sneezed a few times. “Who said so? The spell formation was completely different than before. I’ve tried countless ways, but I couldn’t get out. I’m sure that you’ve changed something in the spell formation and forgot to tell me!”
After a pause, she said, “Oh no, there’s another person in the bamboo forest. He came to report yesterday and wished to enroll into the Formation Course, but I brought him into the spell formation. He must be still stuck inside and unable to come out. He doesn’t have a cultivation base, and he’s just an ordinary student. With the heavy snow last night, he won’t be able to endure it. Grandpa, you have to go in fast and find…”
As she said that, her remaining words were stuck in her throat when she caught sight of Alex standing at the entrance of Seven Star Residence. She pointed at Alex, dumbfounded. “You… Why are you here? How did you get out?”
Alex smiled. He had heard everything the girl said earlier.
She looked to be kind hearted, deeming to remember a person like him.
“I just walked out.”
“When did you come out? Was my grandfather the one who brought you out?”
Alex looked up at the sky. “I went in at this time yesterday.”
“What? You weren’t trapped in the formation?”
Gabby seemed to be a little upset. She had been trapped inside for an entire day and night, and he was completely fine! However, she quickly said, “Alright, I’ll consider you’ve passed the test. You can be my grandfather’s student.”
As a result, Dewey scolded her at this moment, “Gabby, don’t be rude to my master. Why don’t you quickly prostrate before him and call him Master?”
“M-Mas…”
Gabby’s body froze in place, her lips trembled, as though she had seen a ghost.
‘What the hell was going on?!’
Alex smiled calmly and said, “I just accepted your grandfather as my disciple, and he has prostrated before me.”
Gabby’s vision seemed to dim, and her body shook Dewey was afraid that she would rush headlong into Alex, so he directly pinned her to the ground. “Hurry up and call him Master, why are you dawdling?”
Tears almost leaked out of Gabby’s eyes.
The word ‘Mas’ was stuck in her throat, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say the word ‘ter’.
Alex didn’t want to embarrass the little girl, so he said, “Alright, it’s fine. Forget it, she’s been trapped in the formation the entire night. She has caught a bit of a cold, so she doesn’t need to kneel anymore.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1718
Alex pulled Gabby up and slapped a Zharvakko talisman onto her wrist.
Gabby immediately felt a rush of heat coursing in her body, driving away the chills. The feeling of coldness was swept away. She could also feel the lost energy from the lack of sleep overnight was recovering quickly. She looked at Alex with her big eyes in shock and mystification.
After that, Alex raised his hand and pulled out two talismans, throwing them into the bamboo forest.
The spell formation of the bamboo forest changed immediately, with everything inside shifting. He had just accepted Dewey and Owain as his disciples and had even taken the Star Formation Board, so be naturally wanted to prove himself a little.
“Dewey, Owan, I’ve made some changes to your Wandering Formation. It includes the Big Dipper five-element restriction. At noon every day, a path will automatically open to allow you to retreat. Your task now is to understand and find a way to crack this spell formation. When you’re able to come and go freely in this spell formation, I’ll teach you the next step.”
Dewey and Owain nodded immediately once they heard this.
The two of them rushed in with anticipation, and then… They couldn’t get out.
If it was noon, then they needed to wait for noon the next day!
Gabby finally managed to react after all this, her eyes widened. “Y-you were the one who changed the path in this formation previously, right? So, the reason I couldn’t get out… It was all part of your trick!”
“Someone didn’t seem to have good intentions yesterday either, right?” Alex replied.
“I…”
“Let me ask you a question.”
“What is it?”
“Where am I staying?”
Gabby said, “You’re a freshman, so it’s natural that you will stay in the student dormitory. Once the Formation Department has gotten your information, the Flying Eagle Academy will make the arrangements for you! But, you didn’t become my grandfather’s student, instead… Became his master. Then, I’m not sure about it…”
Alex glanced at Seven Star Residence and said, “It’s pretty clean here, I’ll just stay here then!”
He wanted to study the Star Formation Board anyway.
As soon as his divine consciousness entered the Formation Board, his physical body would be motionless outside. It was risky, so he didn’t want to stay in any student dormitory!
“You’re Gabby, right? Show me around!”
***
At the same time, in the instructor’s office of the Flying Eagle Academy, the Fairy Doctor, who had finally finished the research project for the elixir in her hands, took a deep breath.
She grinded a cup of coffee for herself. The viscosity and fragrance made her enjoy it very much.
She enjoyed the taste of the coffee, as well as the process of making it. She had an assistant in the office who could also grind the coffee, but she liked to do it herself.
Every time at this time, she would take off the veil covering her face. In fact, she wasn’t ugly. On the contrary, she was very beautiful.
She had a high nose and big eyes that were similar to Dilraba Dilmurat.
The reason why she usually used the veil was not to cover her appearance, but was to protect her nose! She was very sensitive to smell. She was an alchemist and needed to maintain this sensitivity, so that she could tell the heat control of the materials to concoct superior pills during the pill concoction.
“By the way, Jane, did a new student come to report today? I mentioned it at the registrar’s office previously, and I told them I wanted to take him in as my disciple. I’ve told him to come see me today. Have you seen him?” The Fairy Doctor suddenly recalled this matter. She had great expectations of that student.
Her assistant, Jane, was stunned when she heard this. “What? You want to accept a disciple? I’ve never heard of this! What is his name?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1719
“His name?”
The Fairy Doctor was also stunned. It was because she was in a hurry due to an urgent matter yesterday, so she hadn’t even asked the new student’s name, and casually mentioned it to the registrar’s office. Anyway, the final admission would still go through her hands.
When she thought about it now, she could not recall his name.
“Instructor, could it be that you don’t know his name?” Jane was actually the Fairy Doctor’s student.
After her graduation, she stayed in the academy because of her talent and good results in alchemy.
The Fairy Doctor scoffed. “At the time, I was so caught up in the pill refinement project. I was muddle headed and completely forgot it. But, it’s fine. I’ve already told him to report to my office today. He knows who I am, so he should come,” The Fairy doctor said confidently. Jane also agreed with her.
The Fairy Doctor’s reputation in Flying Eagles Academy was well known, after all. She was the goddess of the alchemy world, and she had a high level of cultivation. Who wouldn’t want her as their teacher?
That new student must have some great luck for him to receive such a generous treatment from the Fairy Doctor.
When she thought about it, Jane started to feel dissatisfied in her heart. Her talent was excellent, and she was a one in a century genius in alchemy. She was born in the Floral Valley, and was a direct disciple of Alcina Bela. She had shown talent in alchemy since she was a child, and was a well known figure back in the Floral Valley.
After selection, she came to the Flying Eagles Academy and became a student of the Fairy Doctor. However, she failed to become a direct disciple of the Fairy Doctor.
This always made her unsatisfied.
But now, a new student had come and wanted the Fairy Doctor to take him as her disciple. This made Jane feel extremely uncomfortable.
‘Hmph, I want to see what kind of guy he is to have moved the Fairy Doctor’s heart!’
The two women waited in the office until it was dark. The Fairy Doctor had already drunk three cups of coffee. As a result, the new student still had yet to arrive.
“Instructor, it’s already dark The other instructors have gotten off work already. I don’t think that person is going to come here!” Jane said.
The Fairy Doctor was also a little anxious. “That’s strange, why hasn’t he come? Perhaps he doesn’t know the way?”
“Instructor, he has a mouth. If he asked some random people, he should know your office’s location,” Jane said.
“Then, what is the reason? Has he been delayed by some other matter? But, the first thing he needs to do is to enroll in a department when he joins the academy. What else can he be busy with?”
Seeing how much the Fairy Doctor cared about him, Jane felt even more uncomfortable. She said, “That person can’t possibly have enrolled in another department, right?”
“What?” The Fairy Doctor jumped up at once. She had never thought about that situation.
She thought that Alex was an alchemist. Since he could refine a Spiritual Demon Pill with such a good quality, he would definitely enter the Elixir Department and finally enter her office’s door. Hence, she wasn’t worried. But, if he had decided not to enter the Elixir Department, then… It would be too disastrous!
“No, I have to find him!”
“Jane, go find out for me right now the name of the new student yesterday who pulled out a Spiritual Demon Pill at the entrance of the school yesterday afternoon!”
“Right, he seemed to have had a little conflict with some people at that time. Go quickly, I will wait here!”
In Jane’s eyes, the Fairy Doctor had always been a gentle, graceful, unhurried existence. When did she ever become such a panicked person?
She was even more unconvinced.
“Instructor, I’m really curious. What is so special about him that he caught your interest?”
The Fairy Doctor looked at her. “He has the best alchemy talent among the people I’ve met. Hurry and go!”
Jane had no choice but to go, but inside, the dissatisfaction in her heart grew worse.
Soon, she was able to find out that there was indeed a new student who had pulled out a Spiritual Demon Fill at the time.
What surprised her more was that he had taken the Spiritual Demon Pill out and eaten it like a piece of candy. Then, she heard about this person called Flynn Newell.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1720
Jane knew who Flynn Newell was, it was one of her students. So, she went to the male dormitory in the middle of the night, and found Flynn, who was taking a shower.
Flynn was dragged out of the shower by his other classmates, wearing only a pair of shorts. Facing the instructor, Jane, he was dumbfounded for a moment before he stuttered, “Ja… Instructor Jane, you… You were looking for me?”
Jane turned a blind eye to his body and asked, “Let me ask you. Yesterday afternoon, do you know about the new student who caught the Fairy Doctor’s eye? Do you know the name of that person?”
Flynn shook his head. Then, he remembered something and asked, “Did he really not report to the Instructor Fairy Doctor?”
Jane was stunned. “You knew he didn’t go?”
Flynn nodded. “Yeah, I intended to bring him to report to the Elixir Department at the time. But he said that he wouldn’t go to the Elixir Department not become a disciple to Instructor Fairy Doctor. He seemed quite firm in his decision.”
When Jane heard that the new student did not intend to join the Elixir Department, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Deep down, she didn’t hope for someone else to become the Fairy Doctor’s disciple. However, she was also very curious about that person. How could he refuse the Fairy Doctor’s invitation to become her disciple?
“Then, which department did he join?”
“I don’t know,” Flynn said. “But, I think such a powerful person like him must have joined the Combat Department!”
“What?! Isn’t he an alchemist?”
“He… He’s also a martial artist with a strong combat talent. He has defeated Stan Cooley, the one who’s ranked 13th in the combat ranking list with just a single move. He even forced Stan to bark like a dog on the spot.”
When Jane heard this, she was dumbfounded. The new student was actually so powerful?
Once he joined the academy, he had challenged the person ranked 13th in the combat ranking list and came out victorious.
According to the norm, the new student should now be ranked 13th in the combat ranking list.
Jane immediately delivered the news to the Fairy Doctor, hoping that the Fairy Doctor would give up.
However, when the Fairy Doctor heard that, she slapped the table fiercely. “Nonsense, with such great alchemic talent, why would he go into the Combat Department? With alchemy techniques, does he have to be afraid that he can’t raise his cultivation level nor beat the monsters and demons? No, I must bring him over to be my disciple.”
Jane trembled all over her body after hearing it.
Her own instructor was actually going to the Combat Department to snatch someone. No one would believe it if she were to tell someone else!
However, the Fairy Doctor just headed towards the department. And, it was in the middle of the night
The Fairy Doctor managed to find the combat instructor with the highest position, Jason Moss, who was known to be a hot tempered Sword Cultivator. It was easy to see that the Fairy Doctor had low EQ when she blurted out after seeing him, “Your Combat Department recently accepted a new student who possessed the Spiritual Demon Pill. I want that person. You shall give that person to me.”
When Jason heard that, his anger spiked. “Don’t even think about it, that’s my disciple.”
He thought that the Fairy Doctor was talking about Holly Yates because she had very strong combat talent. It was the highest that he had ever seen. Therefore, he had immediately accepted Holly as his disciple.
Indeed, this disciple of his possessed the Spiritual Demon Pills, and she ate them like candies.
The Fairy Doctor glared at him. “You won’t give in to me?!”
Jason’s eyes were fixed on her. “Fairy Doctor, others may fear you, but I, Jason Moss, do not. If you want to steal my disciple, then beat me first!”
And so, the two started fighting, they broke three of the instructors’ dormitories. .
The students and other instructors of Flying Eagles Academy were in a daze as they watched the fight.
“Why did the two of them start fighting?”
“I don’t know either. The Fairy Doctor is usually calm and gentle. It’s really rare that she would pick a fight with Jason.”
“I heard it’s because of a new student.”
Then, the news spread through Flying Eagles Academy like wildfire.
Everyone was asking the same thing, “Who’s this new student?”
