Chapter 236: Here We Are, the Sacred Institute!

This was a question everyone was curious about, including Jiang Chen .

"Yep, and it will be very strict . There will be classes and exams . "

Nan Gong glanced at the six youngsters beside him and said slowly, "Looks like you don't know much about the Sacred Institute yet . I'll give you an orientation first . Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions . "

That would be best . The six youngsters were all eyes and ears .

Nan Gong started to introduce the Sacred Institute .

The Sacred Institute was different from groups like sects and schools, gangs and families . The Sacred Institute had all the good points these groups had, but its aim was to train excellent geniuses .

Disciples of the Sacred Institute would have a test every month, an exam every three months, and an evaluation every six months . It paid attention to its disciples' development in all respects .

Once they started their study at the Sacred Institute, they couldn't only practice when they wanted, like Jiang Chen had used to in the Natural Law School .

"One year in the Sacred Institute isn't very long, but it isn't very short either . The Sacred Institute will arrange courses for you according to individual abilities .

"So, in the Sacred Institute, the Reaching Heaven State is only what you're supposed to achieve . You might also see great achievements in tactical formations, panacea refining, or martial arts techniques . "

Nan Gong's words had demystified the Sacred Institute . The six weren't as lost anymore .

"If I don't achieve the requirements of a course, will I be sent back?" Shen Huan asked .

It was evidently a stupid question . Nan Gong smiled in answer .

"Nan Gong, I have a question . The Sacred Institute only recruits short-term disciples for special reasons . What is it this time?" Jiang Chen suddenly said .

Compared to the others' questions, this one was sharp .

Shen Huan and the others were still cheering for having got the opportunity to study in the Sacred Institute . Such a question had never occurred to them .

Not until Jiang Chen had brought it up did they think about it .

The Sacred Institute had been holding competitions in all the fields . They recruited at least three disciples from each field . That would bring them hundreds of new short-term disciples, and the Sacred Institute was going to train them without asking for anything . Why was that?

Because the Sacred Institute was the guardian angel of the continent?

That was possible, but it would be foolish if they thought that was the only reason .

Nan Gong frowned . He didn't answer the question readily this time . He only said, "You'll see . Just work hard . "

Then there was a long silence . Nan Gong closed his eyes to rest his mind . The six youngsters didn't dare disturb him . They were sitting on the back of the bird, bored .

"Hmmm?"

An hour later Nan Gong opened his eyes and looked towards Jiang Chen in surprise .

The other five also looked towards him and were instantly shocked .

Jiang Chen had been sitting there motionlessly for who knows how long . His breathing was even . It seemed like there was nothing unusual, but if they released their holy awareness, they would find his body and the wind shared a unique rhythm .

The five youngsters were the best geniuses in the Fire Field, not to mention Nan Gong . They knew for certain that Jiang Chen was working on the creation of wind in the air .

The wind created by the speed of the machine-operated bird was strong enough to tear people apart . It was indeed the perfect time to comprehend the creation of wind .

However, they were on their way to the Sacred Institute . Everyone was excited . Who could stay so calm to think about that?!

The creation of wind also mattered a lot to Yi Shuihan . He had been sizing Jiang Chen up secretly when the latter came aboard, trying to figure out what had made the gap between them so huge .

He knew by then .

Jiang Chen wasn't just putting on an act . When he opened his eyes, he was evidently happy with his gains .

"Congratulations . You've achieved the minor doctrine of wind completely," Nan Gong said .

Jiang Chen had broken through to the minor doctrine of wind from the half minor doctrine in such a short time . It was a big step for him .

"Thank you . "

Jiang Chen smiled and reached his hands out . He kept opening and closing his palms in the wind . Theoretically, the skin of his hands should have been torn apart first . His bones would have been exposed and then smashed to pieces by the wind .

But no such thing had happened .

"We're travelling really fast . That helped me to comprehend the essence of the creation of wind," Jiang Chen said .

"That's great," Nan Gong said .

Since Jiang Chen had made progress, the others wouldn't let such a good opportunity go either . Everything related to martial arts techniques and weapons could hardly be done without the help of the creation of wind .

They didn't know how difficult it was until they tried themselves . They couldn't focus their minds at all .

"We're already at the Dragon Field," Nan Gong suddenly said . The machine-operated bird slowed down .

The six of them finally could see what the Dragon Field was like . They popped their heads out one by one .

Princess Crimson Moon was the only one among them who had been to the Dragon Field before . It was the first time for the other five .

They were too far away from the Fire Field . Without the high speed of the machine-operated bird, it would take them three months to travel there by ship .

They had arrived in only a half day . It was unimaginable how fast the machine-operated bird was .

The landscape below was great . Mountains, rivers, and endless lush forests were in harmony . They first thought they were above a scenic area of the Dragon Field, but later, they found out it was just a normal view .

Even the sand in the desert was like gold that had a special beauty when they overlooked it from the sky, but the cities were the most astounding .

None of the big cities there had walls, or the walls were in the city center . This was the result of expansion .

That meant as time went by, those cities didn't need the protection of city walls anymore .

Outside the cities, there were many flat roads . The roads, hundreds or even thousands of miles long, led to other cities . They were bustling with carriages .

In comparison, such a flourishing scene was never seen in the Xia Dynasty, the most powerful country in the Fire Field .

"The Dragon Field is indeed the strongest on the continent!" Lu Fei couldn't help but exclaim . All of the others agreed with him .

Dozens of minutes later, the machine-operated bird slowed down again . They knew they were about to arrive at the Sacred Institute .

Everyone was excited . They all stood up to look down .

To their surprise, the Sacred Institute was located in a city .

They had thought a place like the Sacred Institute would be located in an isolated place . They wouldn't have been so surprised if the whole city were the Sacred Institute, but Nan Gong had made it clear: the city below was called the Sacred City, and the Sacred Institute was in the city center .

The Sacred City was a metropolis . It was bigger than all of the cities, towns, and villages of the Xia Dynasty put together .

And because of that, the people living in this city might never have the chance to meet for their whole lives .

Unless there was a great event, the people there only lived in their areas . They knew what was happening in the city via newspapers .

It was a coincidence that Shen Huan had grabbed a discarded daily flying in the wind . It was long and wide . He had to use both of his hands to unfold it .

The others were curious about its contents . They all leaned forward to read it .

Soon, they felt embarrassed, because they understood none of the words printed on the page!

The language used in the Dragon Field was different from that of the Fire Field . Although most of the words looked similar and it was possible to guess what each single word meant, they couldn't understand a thing when the words were put together .

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen noticed it was the language used in the Sacred Zone 500 years before . He had no difficulty reading it .

There were many columns on the daily, telling of all kinds of events happening in the Sacred City .
