Chapter 177 Sliding Down the Mountain on a Sword
The strictest instructor that Ma Qian and Zhong Liyu mentioned, as commented by previous students, is probably true.
At the mountaintop, Ma Qian would check each and every freshman majoring in sword cultivation before sending them all down the mountain.
The scene on the mountain was like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The feeling of gravity gradually increased as you went from the foot of the mountain to the top. But when you went down from the top, some cultivators would kneel down and have nosebleeds after only a couple of steps.
Upon reaching the summit, the gravitational pull dissipated, and the pressure from the highest level returned, causing some candidates with poor physical condition to immediately perish.
Jiang He covered her nose, which was gushing blood. Fortunately, she was experienced with bleeding, so she immediately took out a tissue to wipe it and then stuffed it with a dry strip of paper.
Jiang He was one of the freshmen who were not physically fit.
There's no way around it; a body that's been malnourished for over a decade can't be restored overnight.
Jiang He took two steps and then stopped, she was very weak.
Many people aspire to study sword cultivation at the Wanjue Academy, but many others fail to get in.
Hua Xi wore a long dress, unlike the freshmen who came to military training dressed simply.
Among the students, Hua Xihe stood out from the crowd with her embroidered long dress, and her temperament attracted many new students.
Hua Xi's first choice was Lingqing Academy, but she didn't expect that her score was not high enough to get into Lingqing Academy.
Because she randomly filled in Wanjue Academy as her second choice, she was admitted directly.
Hua Xi had attended prestigious schools since childhood, and at first she couldn't accept that she would have to go to a university that only people from all walks of life liked. Moreover, she had long heard that Wanjue Academy was at the bottom of the academic competition every year and that the quality of its freshmen was not good.
Hua Xi, who has always been competitive, almost cancelled her student status and planned to start over, but she decided against it because she knew she would have to wait three years to start over.
Hua Xi held her skirt with her hands, making it easy for her to walk down. What she disliked most was Jiang He, who was weak in ability but relied on her geographical advantage to get first place.
Hua Xi couldn't help but mock Jiang He when she saw him bleeding:
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone so weak. Isn't this mountain path easy to walk on?"
Her tone was arrogant, and her eyes were full of disapproval of Jiang He:
"How did you become the top scholar in the country? Your body is so weak, even weaker than mine at seven years old."
Hua Xi's every word was sarcastic.
Wang Xian echoed this:
"It took two hours to climb the mountain. I told you long ago that Jiang He's title of top scholar was just a hollow one."
Wang Xian smiled.
As everyone looked at Jiang He, who was once again at the center of public attention, many people were still unaware of her identity. Now, upon closer inspection, they noticed two crumpled pieces of paper on Jiang He's delicate face.
The white crumpled paper was stained with red blood. They curled their lips and thought, "They really are weak. Most of the students present felt the pressure, but none of them bled like Jiang He and the others."
Jiang He was speechless for a moment.
No, people will talk about a nosebleed?
Jiang He ignored their words and quickened her pace.
Going downhill is actually much faster than going uphill, provided you can overcome the decreasing pressure as you descend.
You could tell their cultivation levels from the moment they came down the mountain; those at the front either had excellent physical fitness or high cultivation levels.
Jiang He had heard of the Wanjue Academy's points system.
The points system was initially established jointly by the four universities. Points can be earned through points towers, final exam grades, and various tasks undertaken during the week.
Points can be used for expenses within the academy or redeemed for various cultivation resources through the points system.
The points system jointly established by the four universities contained a wealth of cultivation resources, and other universities joined in the following year.
The points system is only used in cultivation colleges. As more and more colleges join, the redemption system of the points system mall becomes more and more complete, and the goods are dazzling. It is equivalent to half of the black market in each district.
Every year, military training is the first way for freshmen to earn points and earn their first pot of gold.
The students transported by airship arrived at the military training site in several batches. Everyone started from different points, and their arrival at the top of the mountain was not proportional to their strength.
Going down the mountain is different. This is the first military training content released by Ma Qian. Whether or not she is the first to go down the mountain, or whether those who go down the mountain early can get points, Jiang He is not sure.
Jiang He silently quickened her pace; if she really got points, she would be at a loss.
The faster Jiang He walked, the more blood flowed from her nose, but she remained completely calm.
Covering her mouth and nose, Jiang He jumped down a steep slope in a few steps.
There are no paths on this mountain; you have to walk the whole way.
If you can fly, that's fine too, but under the pressure of gravity, running is already very difficult, and the spiritual energy used to control the sword is doubled, so you'll crash before you've flown for long.
Jiang He faced the mountain wind, her school uniform fluttering in the breeze.
In just a few steps, Long Aotian and Li Ling, who were standing next to Jiang He, had already overtaken her.
Zhong Liyu was at the very front:
"How about we have a race to see who gets down the mountain first?"
After he finished speaking, he rushed downstairs in a flash.
Jiang He watched the spirited young man descend the mountain, people constantly passing by him.
She raised an eyebrow and took out her spirit sword.
Jiang He is afraid of heights, so she can't fly high on a sword, but she is skilled at riding a spirit sword close to the ground at low altitudes.
Although she had never done bungee jumping, Jiang He had tried skateboarding.
The students, who were slowly making their way down the mountain, were reaching a difficult point when, before they could even look up, a figure darted past them in a flash.
"What the heck is that? It flies so fast."
"Wait, am I seeing things? I see someone flying on a sword, but no, it doesn't look like flying on a sword. It just looks like they're using the sword as a stepping stone."
"No, does it have to be this fast? This speed doesn't seem like the speed you should be walking at."
"What walking? That's sword riding! Absolutely amazing!"
"With such great resistance to spiritual energy, how did she manage to control her sword with such abundant spiritual energy?"
"Who was it? They rushed past in an instant, I didn't even see their face clearly, they were so fast."
"I saw it, it looks like Jiang He."
"No way, nobody else can control a sword, but she just stepped on a spirit sword and went down? Jiang He is that strong?"
Jiang He stood on the spirit sword. To be precise, she wasn't flying on the sword but rather gliding down the mountain. Each time, the spirit sword would scrape against the uneven ground, acting as a stepping stone.
Originally, many students were walking ahead of Jiang He, but the moment Jiang He took out her sword, they realized that walking down the mountain was nowhere near as fast as flying on a sword. However, when they tried to fly on their own, they found that their spiritual energy seemed to have been drained in an instant, and they were unable to fly at all.
"This person's ability to sustain their spiritual energy is truly amazing."
"I suddenly realized that besides slow cultivation, useless spiritual roots seem to have many advantages. For example, at the same cultivation level, the spiritual energy of a useless spiritual root depends on the number of spiritual roots. With seven spiritual roots, the spiritual veins can store seven kinds of spiritual energy at the same time!"
By using the seven different types of spiritual energy in rotation, the battery life will increase.
"What a clever move."
"You can't calculate it like that. What if the spiritual vein is narrow? There won't be as much spiritual energy. I don't think it's that absolute."
"Dude, stop analyzing. The guys ahead all picked up their swords and started slashing when they saw Jiang He. They're slashing while we're walking. How are we supposed to catch up?"
"Instructor Ma! Calling the instructor! I feel this behavior is extremely unreasonable; they're cheating!"
