Chapter 412 Closing School Early (1/2)

”Jingyi, how's your cultivation going? Have you become a Cultivator yet?”

”By the sound of your voice, I can tell that you've already become a Cultivator. Congratulations, Sister Rou. Unfortunately, I am still trying to breakthrough.” Xia Jingyi's voice resounded from the phone.

”Don't worry, I'm sure you'll breakthrough soon.”

”What about you? Has anything changed now that you're a Cultivator? Have you gotten stronger like they say you would?” Xia Jingyi asked.

”Yes! You won't believe this, but I could lift my desk with a single arm! It was really surprising!” Yu Rou said.

”That crazy?! I'm going to continue my cultivation now! Even if I have to skip tonight's sleep, I am going to do it!” Xia Jingyi said.

”Me, too! I may already be a Cultivator but I still want to continue improving! I'll see you tomorrow at school!” Yu Rou said her goodbyes before closing the phone.

And for the rest of the night, Yu Rou would sit on her bed in the lotus position, slowly improving her cultivation.

The following morning, despite missing a night of sleep, Yu Rou felt incredibly refreshed and full of energy.

”Unlike Cultivation Online, cultivation is much slower in the real world, which isn't really that surprising. And with a lack of treasures to assist us, we'll be even slower.” Yu Rou mumbled.

Cultivation Online was filled with rich resources that could help boost one's cultivation within seconds, but in the real world, no such resources exist and Cultivators must rely on their own talents and patience to improve their cultivation.

”I guess this is also good. It would be bad if people can simply buy their cultivation levels like they do in Cultivation Online, becoming Spirit Warriors in just a few weeks.” Yu Rou mumbled.

In Cultivation Online, there are plenty of rich people who would buy treasures using real money to boost their cultivation base, bypassing the earlier levels. Of course, the higher their cultivation, the more expensive each level got.

Once one reaches Spirit Warrior, the amount one would need to spend to increase a level was so high that only the richest people in the world would dare to spend that much.

Now that one cannot simply buy their way to the top, everyone— regardless of their status or wealth— will have a chance to become a top Cultivator in the real world!

”Meanwhile, Brother is already nearing Spirit Master… If he could move his body, how powerful would he be in this world?” Yu Rou wondered to herself as she prepared for school.

Sometime later, Yu Rou arrived at school, and to her surprise, the place looked even more empty than usual.

”Where is everybody?” Xia Jingyi asked the teacher.

The teacher showed a bittersweet smile and said, ”Because of the cultivation craze, everybody is staying home to cultivate.”

Yu Rou and the other few students in the classroom were left dumbfounded by the teacher's words.

Everybody was skipping school to cultivate? As crazy as that sounded, it wasn't that surprising!

”It's not just the students.” The teacher continued.

”A couple of the teachers here have also resigned this morning, so we're also understaffed at this moment.”

”What's going to happen to our classes now?” Yu Rou then asked.

”The principal has issued a gathering later today, so we'll probably know about it at that time. In the meantime, you can do whatever.”
