: Let Us Start Cultivating
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Instructor Xu returned to the hall, he asked the attendant to stop playing the curriculum video. Fang Ning approached the stage once more to determine his affinity to cultivate vitality. This time, nothing seemed to go wrong, and he entered the box without any issue. Instructor Xu closed the door and started adjusting the numbers on the panel.
Two minutes later, Fang Ning exited the box with a calm look on his face.
He had already heard it in the box, ‘Vitality Sensitivity: Grade C+, Passive Vitality Respiration Speed: Grade C+.’

Congratulations, we have another person who’s not bad. Return to your seat, Mr. Fang Ning,
Instructor Xu said lightly, it seemed he was still pretty beaten up from earlier.
Fang Ning went back to his seat leisurely. His cultivation affinity was not too high, but it was still better than Wei Xia, so at least he would not have embarrassed the System.
The next person called by Instructor Xu was the gold-rimmed glasses man who looked to be in his forties, his name was Zheng Dao.
‘Vitality Sensitivity: Grade B+, Passive Vitality Respiration Speed: Grade B+’
Everyone was shocked to hear the result, including Fang Ning. He had had the System to help him with the progress, but the duration was still too short. His level was still below twenty. His Innateness had not had enough points, so it was normal for him to be Grade C+. It was unexpected that the gold-rimmed middle-aged man would reach a double Grade B+ on his own volition, at the ripe age of forties, no less!
They were imagining Instructor Xu’s reaction, he was probably very surprised as well. However, as was proven, they were overthinking the situation!
After Instructor Xu was hurt by Fang Ning, he was quiet for a little while.
It was probably that his injury was healed, he returned to being annoying. Not only did he not express surprise, he said with an over-the-top expression,
Double B! And they are a plus-grade too! Mr. Zheng Dao, I really have to congratulate you for joining the Double B club! Moreover, you’re a unique Double B Enhancing-type! The last one with such a unique talent for Vitality cultivation had already become a really considerable person, do you want to know who he is?

‘He was still harsh!’ Some people were laughing silently, but more people did not even smirk. The joke was just too crude, they were able to control themselves from reacting.
The people who laughed did not harbor any ill-will to him either, most people were still very impressed.
Zheng Dao adjusted his glasses, his expression did not betray any signs of fury, if there was any. Instead, his gaze was filled with pity as he asked with respect,
Please enlighten me.

Instructor Xu said,
I dared not to say his name, but I can talk about his talent, since it’s not a secret. His Vitality Sensitivity is Grade S, and his Passive Vitality Respiration Speed is grade B. So in short, he was called the SB 1 Vitality Cultivator… hah hah. Until now, there was only one person with a talent combination like his. You should get in touch. Even though you’re older, for the sake of this coincidence, you might become his disciple. By then, people will come lining up to see you!

It was as if Zheng Dao did not hear the teasing in his voice, he nodded and said,
Thank you for your wisdom. If there’s an opportunity, please introduce us.

Instructor Xu turned his head to one side,
Tch, you’re no fun.

The rest of the test results were not surprising. Out of the thirty applicants, as expected, there were only three who had the affinity to cultivate–the three with Superpowers. The others were not that disappointed. After all, those who failed the test was still the majority, they could console each other that only a few of them were able to cultivate.
The character test for cultivation was scheduled for the next day. After lunch, they reconvened at 2 p.m. for the next lesson.
Instructor Xu had finally started to get serious and introduced them to the basic cultivation knowledge. The content was a little simple, but it was systematic and comprehensive. However, much of the lecture was focused more on basic materials required for cultivation, for example, how to manage and plant some of the rarer herbs and special ingredients, which places were suitable for plantations. All these could be prepared beforehand so they at least had the basic setup.
Everyone thought, (This is more appropriate for a class, isn’t it? We did not pay to be bullied.) What was unexpected was that Instructor Xu had already planned to retire so he could continue cultivating after today’s lesson.
At night, Fang Ning, President Zhao, and Fatso Liu had dinner together. They had shared what they managed to learn in class, as well as promising to meet up again after they returned to Qi City to discuss their plans to invest in a cultivation project, preparing for the future.
Fang Ning does not understand investment at all, but he was just listening in for fun. At the end of the day he only had to contribute financially, that was all. After all, the System needs those cultivation materials as well, and it would not waste any of the extras. After finishing their discussion, the three of them retired to their respective rooms.
Fang Ning had no control over whatever the other two decides to do. However, since he would not sleep so early, he passed the control of his body over to the System to cultivate, while his own consciousness hid inside the System Cyber Cafe.
This time around, he did not play games. That snake, Instructor Xu did not upset him. After all, it was Instructor Xu who got injured. What upset him were the three video clips, especially the one that was not shown to the class. It reminded him of some of the horror movies he accidentally watched. If he was still in the mood to play games after that, it would be an understatement to call him composed.
However, he was not as calm as he could be. He had learned plenty of basic cultivation knowledge in the day. With his current brain power, he only needed to listen once to have information memorized.
It was obvious that Instructor Xu was still ethical in his teaching. The points he presented were not fake. Fang Ning reached for the True Bodhi Tactics again, and it was no longer as abstruse as before.
As he read the book, he started getting excited. He thought, ‘I have Sir System to cultivate my body, and I’m here cultivating as well. It’s just like two people cultivating at the same time. This would ensure that I keep ahead of other people in terms of efficiency in cultivation.’
As Fang Ning was being excited over his progress, another person was fighting for his chance to progress.
In one of the rooms in the dorm for the instructors, someone was roaring through the telephone.

In war zones, you will be considered a deserter! You will be executed!


Hmph, if even a normal person could make me spit blood, how could I have the dignity to be an instructor? Who would listen to me? I want to cultivate in isolation. I would not bother myself with these trivial matters until I have reached the stage of great perfection. All this is wasting my time.


You… you’re fully grown now, aren’t you 2 ! You know something? Even if you have better affinity than I do, you would still need at least ten years to achieve that stage!


That is why I can’t waste any more of my time. If I can’t beat you in cultivation, I could never beat the Elder Ancestor of Bai Family. Our houses still have a beef with each other. If I don’t start cultivating, spitting blood will be the least of my problems, I would have no chance facing him if he caught me.


I can’t outspeak you. Alright, fine. It is not a time of war, and you are currently a teaching staff, not a frontline soldier. If you really want to resign, I can’t stop you. But be warned, once your resignation letter was approved, you would be blacklisted. The Truth Department would never hire you again, and you might even be locked up for a lifetime! If that happens, your whole life would be set, the Bai old geezer would never look for you in there.


Oh, is it that scary? What if you leave me a backdoor and let me off on unpaid leave? My injury was treated a little late in the day, my injury is acting up again, so I really cannot continue serving my tenure at-


Shut up! If you were really injured, your mouth would not spew so much nonsense!


I’m telling the truth, I just spat blood again, I can send you photographic evidence if you don’t believe me.


Okay, fine! You’ve done it now! I will not approve your unpaid leave, no further discussion! If you forged any documents, you will never walk into the gates of the Xu house!


Tch, can’t you use some other threats? It almost sounded as if you had any power at home…


You, are you trying to kill me with insolence?


Don’t, please don’t, you’re the sole pillar of the Institute for Special Training. It can exist without me, but it could not have, and will not exist without you, so please don’t be mad at my insolence. Otherwise, my sin would not have been negated even if I die a hundred times. By that point, I would never be able to enter the gates of Xu again.


Go away! Now! I can’t keep you here anymore!

Xu Weihua hung up, his eyes were as cold as ice. Even if it did not seem like it on the phone with the old geezer, his heart was burning with fury.
‘The true form of that legend was a dragon, it was normal to not being able to compare at this point. However, if one of his accidental charges could mess me up so badly, humiliating me, the thirty-odd years I have lived was for naught! My talent for Vitality Cultivation was double A!’
This Morality is really that strong, and this was still one of the manifestations of psychokinesis in China, and it was not even the strongest.
No wonder Bai went rogue and established his own clan. He wanted to focus the psychokinesis of an entire group of people. What a cunning geezer. How could I have not seen through his plan then, and I even laughed at him with a bunch of losers?
I will cultivate Xu Family’s secret technique to its peak so I can win against him. I refuse to believe I can’t beat this fcking Morality-psychokinesis thing!)
Even though he desperately wanted to cultivate immediately, Xu Weihua was still rational. He knew to start cultivating immediately would practically be looking for death, so he should turn in his resignation the next day and dealing with the administrative matters before considering anything else.
He scoured for two cans of beers in his room. He would not have touched alcohol at all if it were any other time, however, at this moment, only beer could help him sleep in relative calmness.

Fang Ning was really getting into the True Bodhi Tactics. He felt like he could master one of the things in the book if given another month or so.
At this point, the System dinged.
The System said,
It’s such a hassle to not have the System map open. We’ve been in this big city for two days, and finally, we meet a monster.

Fang Ning was startled, set down his book, and opened the System map. It was a sheet of darkness, but there was a red dot with a jet black center wandering around him, it looked to be not more than a few meters.
Fang Ning could see nothing else aside from that. He was a little hesitant to open the System View. If the monster looked like Sadako, would he not have nightmares?
Fang Ning’s voice was mildly trembling,
What does the monster look like? Is it scary?

The System was not sentient enough to sense fear, it explained,
It does not have a solid form, so it would naturally be scary to you humans, if a normal person were to encounter it, they would be killed. However, you need not worry, it had circled this place for quite some time, but it could not see where you are, so it stopped and spaced out. Let’s wait, I want to see if it has a companion. It was hard to farm when there’s no map, we should make them count.
