A Brand New World

Luo Zhengwen and Ge Xiaogu were shocked, but their faces were filled with joy.

Now that Wang Sheng had reached Bright Energy, their previous investments would yield huge returns.

Who wouldn't want another friend at the Bright Energy level!

The others, Li Hu, Wei Yu, and the like, after their surprise, secretly calculated Wang Sheng's potential, feeling it was necessary to deepen their connections in the future.

Wang Sheng achieving Bright Energy at such a young age must be due to some fortuitous encounter. His Low-grade Physique was no longer a major flaw. With decades ahead of him, Wang Sheng might still be able to achieve Dark Energy.

"The disciples under Head of Academy Zhao are indeed all accomplished at a young age!"

Head of Academy He's hair was tied up high, with a few stray strands naturally falling to the sides of her cheeks. The veil concealed her mysteriousness, adding to her gentle demeanor. The skin occasionally revealed was as white as jade, her figure tall and ethereal. She spoke softly.

"Hahaha!"

"Head of Academy He flatters me! My disciple is usually a diligent and hardworking person, which is why he has achieved this level of cultivation today!"

Zhao Jie's laughter carried a hint of smugness. He then looked at Wang Sheng and nodded, saying, "Good, very good. I didn't expect you to be the first among this batch of new disciples to achieve Bright Energy."

"You can collect the Bone Strengthening Pill from your Master's Wife. I will also find time to update the treatment for Bright Energy disciples. Remember, Bright Energy is just the beginning of the Martial Path. Never become complacent, or you will ruin all your past hard work!"

"Yes, this disciple obeys!"

Wang Sheng respectfully replied.

Logically, Wang Sheng should have withdrawn at this point.

However, seeing that Zhao Jie hadn't mentioned anything about the follow-up techniques for the Great Tablet Shattering Hand, Wang Sheng had no choice but to brace himself and ask about it in front of Head of Academy He.

However, To Wang Sheng's surprise, As soon as he asked, he was reprimanded by Zhao Jie.

"Hmph, I just praised you, and you're already so ignorant of your own limits. You've only just reached Bright Energy and you're already thinking about Dark Energy. You're still a long way from Dark Energy. When you've polished your Bright Energy to the late stage, then you can ask me for the Dark Energy cultivation method. You may withdraw now."

Zhao Jie waved his hand, sounding rather impatient.

Although new disciples received the Bright Energy method, it didn't mean the Dark Energy method could be easily passed down.

Zhao Jie didn't want to teach Wang Sheng for two reasons. First, teaching the Dark Energy method required the Master to explain it, which would take several days.

But with the current unstable situation, Zhao Jie was busy with many matters and didn't have the time to spare specifically for teaching Wang Sheng.

Second, techniques should not be easily transmitted. This was true in any Martial Academy. Especially for techniques at the Transforming Energy level, they were priceless. Transforming Energy experts guarded their methods closely, only passing them down to those they trusted.

"Yes!"

Wang Sheng, with his head lowered, had a very grim expression and immediately withdrew.

Zhao Jie and Head of Academy He strolled into the inner courtyard.

At this moment, Li Hu, Wei Yu, and a group of other Bright Energy disciples gathered around Wang Sheng to congratulate him.

"Junior Brother Wang truly doesn't make a sound until he makes a splash!"

"A true person doesn't reveal their might. Seeing Junior Brother Wang, I truly understand the meaning of this phrase."

"Junior Brother Wang is so patient and reserved. You will surely have a great future. Don't forget us, your fellow disciples."

The group showered Wang Sheng with unsparing praise, saying whatever sounded good.

Wang Sheng hadn't expected his breakthrough to Bright Energy to cause such a stir, so he could only cup his hands and thank them.

Meanwhile, Wu An, standing not far away, was seething with rage, almost driven mad.

The way they praised Wang Sheng, the opposite words, sounded extremely jarring to Wu An's ears, making him think they were implying he was impatient, that he was a fake, and so on.

"Wang Sheng, good, good! You stole my Bone Strengthening Pill and ruined my reputation. Just you wait!"

Wu An quietly left. He was going into seclusion. He secretly vowed not to emerge until he broke through to Bright Energy.

Inside the Martial Academy.

After a long while, The group of fellow disciples surrounding Wang Sheng finally dispersed.

To do this, Wang Sheng had to host several banquets to entertain them.

"Hahaha! Wang Sheng, you've really done it!"

Luo Zhengwen was different from the others. He had been friends with Wang Sheng for a long time, so after everyone dispersed, he stepped forward and excitedly patted Wang Sheng's shoulder.

Wang Sheng achieving Bright Energy meant that Luo Zhengwen's earlier actions, like lending him Silver and confronting Fang Mingguang and Wei Lingqin, were not in vain.

"I also thank Senior Brother for your many interventions! If you have any commands in the future, this junior brother would not dare to disobey!"

Wang Sheng cupped his hands.

"Would not dare to disobey" was a polite formality, but it was very effective and pleasing to hear.

Luo Zhengwen's smile widened. He nodded and said, "Junior Brother, asking Master for the Dark Energy cultivation method just now was a mistake. It's also my fault as Senior Brother for not telling you about this place."

"Now I will carefully explain the world after Bright Energy, which is vastly different from that of ordinary people. You must remember it well."

Wang Sheng nodded solemnly and cupped his hands in a salute, "Please, Senior Brother, enlighten me."

"Hahahaha..."

"Good, let's go to Hundred Flowers Pavilion for a drink, and I'll explain as we drink."

A moment later, After receiving the Bone Strengthening Pills from Master's Wife, Wang Sheng and Luo Zhengwen were having a lengthy discussion in a private room at Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

"Here, Junior Brother, try this Treasure Fish."

"This fish is worth an ounce of gold. Its flavor is so delicious that even I am reluctant to eat too much of it."

Luo Zhengwen took a bite of the fish and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

Wang Sheng took a bite and his eyes lit up.

A mouthful of fish meat entered his abdomen, transforming into a breath that circulated within his body. A strong warmth soothed the slight discomfort from his internal injuries, and he could clearly feel his body becoming more comfortable.

"Hahaha, eat quickly. Let's finish this Treasure Fish first."

Luo Zhengwen said with a smile.

Soon, the two of them finished the Treasure Fish.

Wang Sheng opened his status panel with a thought and found that his Forging Gold Technique had actually increased by twenty points. Half a fish had saved him several days of effort. It seemed the Treasure Fish even had some healing properties!

"Junior Brother Wang, once you reach Bright Energy, you can truly be considered to have entered the martial world."

"In this vast world, martial arts reign supreme. After reaching Bright Energy, you will discover many unknown things in this world."

"Like this low-grade Treasure Fish, one ounce of gold each. In the water, it can even bite to death fishermen who are well-versed in water. There are also water dragons, mountain monsters, and all sorts of ferocious and powerful beasts."

"As for cultivation methods, this vast world has countless unpredictable and mysterious techniques. Legend has it that some are skilled in swordsmanship, capable of shattering armor with a single sword strike! Others are masters of body techniques, able to move mountains and break rivers, rivaling gods and ghosts! And some understand Yin and Yang, observing the grand trends of mountains and rivers, shifting stars and constellations, and winning battles from a thousand miles away."

"Therefore, cultivation methods are of utmost importance and cannot be easily passed on. You must understand the consequences."

"Junior Brother, the world is about to fall into chaos. Anyone can see that. So, some demons and monsters that you wouldn't normally encounter will appear. You must act cautiously. Rely on Master's great influence, but never anger him or make him upset."

"And also, Junior Brother. Now that you've reached Bright Energy, I, your Senior Brother, can also have some assistance. We will look out for each other from now on. Perhaps Ershui City will also have a place for us."

Wang Sheng and Luo Zhengwen had a long talk, mostly Luo Zhengwen speaking and Wang Sheng listening.

Occasionally, Wang Sheng would ask for more details.

For instance, about various factions, rare and exotic beasts, and legends of powerful individuals with great spiritual powers.

Gradually, a brand new world unfolded before Wang Sheng's eyes.

No one had ever told him these things before because he was just an ordinary person who knew a bit of martial arts, not worth the time to inform, and it would have been useless anyway.

But now, Luo Zhengwen was proactively informing him and hosting such a lavish banquet. It was clear that reaching Bright Energy meant he was officially accepted, truly entering this circle and being treated with importance.

But I'm about to reach Dark Energy!

Wang Sheng thought to himself.

He knew he couldn't get the follow-up methods from Zhao Jie. It would be difficult to advance to Dark Energy using the Great Tablet Shattering Hand in a short period.

But now he had money and several other cultivation methods to reach Dark Energy. He wasn't afraid of not being able to advance, it would just take more time.
