Cultivator Classifications

"Haaah~!"

Watching the little guys not far away, each putting in their best effort to cast spells, Bell yawned in boredom.

What is currently underway is a test for fourth-year students in the Lower Academy.

The spells cast by these little guys, who are not even 10 years old, are so weak that they can barely reach a boulder 20 meters away, let alone have any real power.

That Little Flame wasn't even big enough to cook rice.

"Senior Ma, are we just going to watch like this? How long will this testing take?"

Bell asked listlessly.

Instead of wasting time here, he might as well go back and spend some more time with Hermione.

It had been more than a month since they last met, and one night was not enough to fully express the longing he had been holding back.

"Today is all about testing."

The morning session consisted of spellcasting ability tests and spiritual power manipulation tests, while the afternoon was dedicated to Combat Practice.

When talking about the afternoon's Combat Practice, Ma Jingjing exuded an air of eager anticipation.

She also gave Bell a provocative look, clearly looking forward to fighting Bell.

"But isn't this such a waste of time? Couldn't we have prepared more of those stones?"

They can do their tests, we can do ours, and it won't interfere with each other, isn't that great?

Bell was puzzled by the Academy's inefficient arrangement.

Ma Jingjing clearly understood Bell's thoughts. After all, just standing there watching those lower-grade students cast spells was indeed quite boring, and most people had similar thoughts to Bell.

But the Academy's arrangement did indeed have its reasons, as Ma Jingjing explained to Bell and the others:

"This arrangement by the Academy is mainly for the benefit of the younger students."

By allowing younger students to watch older students perform spells, they can gain a clearer understanding of their future path.

In this way, younger students will not feel ashamed or anxious about their weakness, but will also aspire to become stronger, thus motivating them to study magic diligently.

"Is it that amazing!?"

Bell was shocked.

He never expected that such a seemingly unreasonable arrangement would actually hide such a good intention.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to drag all the professors at Hogwarts, including a former headmaster who had already "retired home," to the Yandu Academy.

"Look at them! Look at them! Aren't you ashamed?"

Anyway, Bell felt quite ashamed for them.

Feeling ashamed, Bell temporarily put aside all thoughts of love and intimacy and focused intently on watching.

Those huge, dark rocks, I don't know what they were made of.

Looking at the spells, which left not even a trace on the boulder, Bell felt that this boulder seemed somewhat similar to processed anti-magic metal.

However, anti-magic metal does not have the effect of testing the power of spells, unlike these boulders, which will emit vibrations of varying intensity whenever a spell strikes it.

After calming down, Bell realized that the test actually went quite quickly.

With 10 giant rocks in place, even though the little guys took a while to prepare, casting a spell didn't take more than a minute.

As the test progresses and the test subject ages, the testing speed also increases.

"By the way, Senior Ma, I heard before that although there aren't many, there are still Sword Cultivator lineages in the Cultivator World of China."

"How come I haven't seen a single swordsman after all this time?"

As he watched, Bell realized something was off.

Why are all these students using China ritual staffs?

(The staffs used in China are not fundamentally different from the Wand used by wizards.)

These are simply magical materials used as staff cores, mostly originating from the China region, and their properties are more suitable for China Cultivator.

Furthermore, in terms of staff design, China staffs are longer, with additional metal blades on both sides, making their shape more like a short sword.

Bell now strongly suspects that the Shopkeeper Wang from the Treasure Pavilion said that Sword Cultivator was a profession only the rich would choose in order to trick his family into buying Flying Sword.

In reality, the path of Sword Cultivator has long been eliminated by Cultivator.

Considering Manager Shopkeeper Wang's character, Bell felt that he might have misunderstood the truth.

He had practiced sword control techniques with great enthusiasm for so long before!

"The Sword Cultivator you mentioned, the Academy will only allow students to choose that after they enter the Upper Academy."

Ma Jingjing rolled her eyes at Bell.

Is being Sword Cultivator so easy?

These little guys can't even float a teacup, let alone wield a sword.

Don't get crushed to death by a falling Flying Sword before you can even hit the enemy.

"Because the students in the lower and middle academies are still young, their total amount of spiritual energy and their ability to control it are still relatively weak."

Therefore, for safety reasons, the academy stipulates that these students may only use staffs to cast spells.

Once they enter the Upper Academy, they can choose to become Sword Cultivator, body cultivators, Talismans Cultivator, Arrays Cultivator, or continue to focus on Magic Cultivator with a staff, according to their own wishes.

Previously, Sword Cultivator were the most numerous, probably making up half of the population.

Now, with the introduction and popularization of magic staffs, the difficulty of Magic Cultivator cultivation has decreased dramatically, and safety has increased significantly. As a result, Magic Cultivator now account for about 70% to 80% of the total number of Cultivator.

In addition, even those Cultivator choose other paths usually carry a staff with them.

After all, staves aren't expensive and are easy to carry. Whether for casting small spells in daily life or for a last-ditch effort in the final moments of battle, they're a great choice.

"Huh!? Are there really that many different categories of Cultivator?"

Bell had always believed that Cultivator were divided into two categories: ordinary Cultivator and Sword Cultivator.

How come there are actually five types now?

Suddenly I feel like wizards are great, don't I!

I wonder if it's too late for him to switch sides now?

"Not only that. The five types I just mentioned are the more mainstream ones."

There are many other unconventional practices, such as raising demonic beasts, refining corpses and ghosts, and manipulating magical artifacts.

Ma Jingjing pursed her lips and said.

It's clear that she looks down on those "crooked ways" and "unorthodox practices".

However, Bell, who was in a state of heightened emotion, did not notice the subtle expressions on Ma Jingjing's face.

"Wow! This is getting more and more interesting! I really want to see these fascinating professions!"

In his past life, when he played online games, Bell preferred games with a lot of playable classes.

Compared to the Cultivation World in China, the Europe Magical World, which only offers one profession, is simply a piece of trash!
