Chapter 54: Consecutive Advancements
“Tiya, which path are you planning to take?” Another afternoon, several people gathered at the Training Ground.
“Blood Law, or Emerald Honey?” Not only Scholar Heide inquired, but the other companions were also curious about Xilutiya’s choice.
“It should be Emerald Honey.” Xilutiya originally had ideas about ‘Brilliant Moon’, but currently she lacked the Secret Arts Knowledge for ‘Brilliant Moon’, so she could only set it aside for now.
Unfortunately Madam Fran was not home, she wanted to inquire about that Madam’s experience and lessons from Advancement choices, otherwise she could step into the realm of ‘First Order·Emerald Honey’ at any time.
Perhaps this was the trouble of happiness, while others were still anxious about how to break through, she was hesitating which breakthrough Advancement was more Excellent.
“What about you all?” Her Advancement would probably take a few more days, while the remaining few inside the arena had varying situations.
She didn’t know much about Komiya’s ‘Mist Shadow’ Nature cultivation, but Komiya only needed to break through ‘Phantom Curse Eye’ to Lv.2, then combine it with Meditation Method to Advance to ‘First Order·Mist Shadow’.
Karen’s Breathing Technique had just broken through to Lv.2 recently, so she was probably still some time away from Advancement.
Mike and Lei, in terms of attainment and completion in Breathing Technique, were already very close to Lv.3, but the two were still short of the most crucial bit of insight for breakthrough, this gap was like steel forging, still short of those last few dozen degrees of temperature to melt the iron billet.
Xilutiya thought of the ‘Blood Wine’ that Scholar Heide had rewarded her when she was first in the previous exam.
It was time to bring it out, she didn’t lack money now and didn’t need to sell that bottle of Blood Wine for living expenses, it was perfect for them.
The next day, when Xilutiya brought that bottle of ‘Blood Wine’, Mike and the others were still somewhat surprised.
Through this one-plus month of getting along, even going out hunting and adventuring together, everyone’s relationship was naturally good, but even so, Blood Wine worth nearly one Gold Coin, that is 100 Silver Coins, was a huge sum, like the work Talil found before, probably needing to work for 3 years without eating or drinking to afford it.
“Alright, no need to be polite, since I brought it out, I naturally don’t lack this bottle of wine.” The maiden lightly raised a finger, telling everyone not to mind too much.
“You three drink a little each day, and combine with Breathing Technique training, you should be able to break through to Breathing Technique third stage in about a week.” She estimated.
As for herself, Breathing Technique had already broken through some time ago, now it was 【Breathing Technique Lv.3】 and 【Dew Prayer Method Lv.3】, so Scholar Heide had asked some time ago.
“Thank you.” Mike and Lei wanted to say something more, but for a moment couldn’t come up with any fancy words of thanks, just feeling a faint touch in their hearts.
Over this period, the Students had already divided into three obvious groups, the first was the 4 Noble Students led by Iona, the second was the 6 Commoner Students led by Suolin, and finally the 5-person squad led by Xilutiya, exactly the top three in Class scores were the leaders.
Iona often held first place, but she didn’t interact much with the other Noble Students, often training alone, while Suolin and Xilutiya often acted with companions, exchanging insights and experiences, compared to the Noble circle, the Commoners were more united.
In the following days, Xilutiya as usual attended class on time, communicated and tutored with Classmates, then helped Madam Fran tend the Flower Field.
……On the fourth day of giving ‘Blood Wine’, Mike was the first to complete Advancement breakthrough.

After his Advancement, it once again sparked a wave of discussion among the Students, many Students seemed to see hope and became even more diligent and eager.
On the seventh day, Lei also broke through and completed Advancement.
Name: Lei·Janmil
Race: Human（Mortal Body）
Status: Healthy（No abnormalities）

If Mike’s Advancement was still understandable, as he had always been in the front ranks in Class Battlefield training, everyone had psychological expectations, but Lei’s Advancement made many people unable to sit still, after all everyone thought this guy had a somewhat dumb head, how could he regulate the Nature Pulse Rhythm well, and master training and combat Skills proficiently.
“By the way, have you noticed, in the recent exams, Lei is no longer at the bottom of the Class.”
At the time of enrollment, Lei’s scores were always at the bottom, everyone although thought he was tall and strong in Power, didn’t take it too much to heart, after all for Transcendents cultivation, IQ and understanding Ability were indispensable, you didn’t need to be top smart, but at least not too dumb.
This time Lei’s Advancement could be said to have shattered everyone’s long-held impression, many people then noticed that this one had progressed so much.
“Sure enough, it’s the effect of Tiya tutoring him.” Everyone thought of this first.
About Tiya tutoring a few poor Students, everyone had actually seen it, but didn’t think it had much meaning, even if poor Students progressed, how strong could they get, now Mike and others’ Secret History scores although not at the bottom, were only mid-tier, still far from the front.
Just as Scholar Heide said, countless minute accumulations finally led to qualitative change.
Breathing Technique training, Transcendent Knowledge learning, countless adjustments in training, allowed the two to find the Method most suitable for themselves at the time of final Advancement, and the same ‘First Order·Blood Law’, Mike and Lei’s Fate Card effects were even a bit stronger than Suolin’s.
Probably pent-up frustration wanted to be released, or wanted to test his current real Strength, after these three days adapting to the new Nature Tier state, Mike challenged Suolin.
“Oh, looks like you couldn’t hold back either, hehe.” Suolin gladly accepted.
“Actually even if you didn’t say it, I’ve wanted to spar with you these past two days, after all our experiences are similar, both Advancing on the ‘Blood Law’ path.”
After speaking, the two walked side by side to the Battlefield, at this time all Classmates gathered to watch, even the Instructors inside the Training Ground came over with great interest to observe the match.
Ordinary people didn’t have Xilutiya’s strong observation Ability, everyone just thought the two had just stepped into ‘First Order·Blood Law’ not long ago, Strength should be close, so especially curious who was stronger.
“Is that so, looks like my decision today was good.” Mike gripped the sword with both hands, eyes tightly staring at the opponent, slowly replying.
After entering the Battlefield, the two didn’t waste words anymore, but calmly and patiently responded, preparing to bring out all their Strength to compete.
Both around seventeen years old, hot-blooded and impulsive, neither would admit to being worse than the other, nor deny the results of their efforts and sweat this period.
“Alright, Battlefield match begins!” The Instructor gave the command.
The two gripped Longswords, feet stomping, charging at each other with fierce Speed, at this moment whether Power, Speed, or technique, all reached the peak state of the two.
