《Primordial Cultivator》Instructor Su Ling
Advertisement
Yang Wei was about to fall unconscious because his true qi couldn't keep up with the continuous barrier he put.
Putting up the barrier for more than 10 minutes as a 1st stage Qi Condensation realm was already an amazing feat.
However, it is still not enough to catch up with the others who are around the 2nd and 3rd stage of Qi Condensation where they can still keep up with their barrier.
Yang Wei grits his teeth to maintain his barrier with sheer will because his true qi is about to dry up and it means one thing.
He, like the other youths who have fallen unconscious, failed the test from this instructor. Yang Wei has been unlucky for most of his life ever since his soul transmigrated.
'The test should be over soon…. I'll just have to handle this pressure for a bit more.' Yang Wei prayed in his mind and his luck has finally taken a turn this time.
The gravity pressure disappears and footsteps can be heard as someone from the other side opens the door.
*Creak*
"Well done to you 7 youths for being able to remain calm and activate your true qi barrier to dispel the gravity pressure. As you have probably guessed, this is indeed a test to see your reaction when danger comes without any notice."
A beautiful slim figure showed up and her skin was spotless. Her appearance was even above Meng Yan because there was an extra layer of maturity air.
Although there was a mature aura around her, she was definitely not much older than Yang Wei. Some may be an instructor while being young due to their peerless talent in cultivation.
Age does not matter at all when it comes to a cultivator because only strength and being powerful is the important thing.
"You may have a lot of questions in mind but before I officially begin this lecture, let me wake the other youths up who fainted from my pressure."
She said slowly before flicking her hand and true qi starts to flow out to enter the youths. After a few whiles, the fainted youths slowly wake up in confusion.

"My name is Su Ling but you'll have to call me Instructor Su Ling. Also, for those of you who have failed to react in time to cast a barrier, there may not be a penalty but my impression of you has fallen drastically."
Su Ling said in a strict tone without sparing another glance as she walked to the center of the platform.
The youths who have awakened were ashamed of themselves. They have bragged and boasted about being a cultivator but they couldn't even react before falling down.
It was luck that this was a lecture only otherwise if they were outside and lost consciousness. The chance of their death to occur was 95% with 5% being saved by someone.
They kept their head down to avoid being eyed by the instructor despite her being a beauty. To covet an instructor after being disgraced was not something their face can handle.
Yang Wei on the other hand was staring at her intensively. He was not eyeing her beauty but trying to see her cultivation base.
Yang Wei is curious about what her cultivation realm is to be able to create a gravity pressure in ease. The gravity pressure was something that he could barely handle for a bit more than 10 minutes.
'Instructor Su Ling was able to create such a dreadful pressure where we all would have fainted if the density was to increase by even a little bit.' Yang Wei can't help but feel extremely curious about what type of technique this was.
Not to mention, Yang Wei has obtained some enlightenment from this gravity pressure test. He was able to understand some function of true qi because it was his first time casting such a barrier.
"Now that everyone is awake, today's lecture is about the cultivation stage. Everyone here is in the Qi Condensation realm but there are many more realms above it. I'm in the 3rd stage of the Nascent Soul realm but I'm not even close to reaching the peak of martial arts."
Yang Wei became dazed by her confirmation of her cultivation rank in producing such intense pressure.

'So it was because Instructor Su Ling was in the 3rd stage of the Nascent Soul realm but how far above it is when compared to Qi Condensation.' Yang Wei asked inwardly before some youths asked the question for him.
"I-Instructor Su Ling, how high is the Nascent Soul realm compared to us in the Qi Condensation."
"A good question. Above Qi Condensation is Foundation Core the Core Formation and finally, you'll have Nascent Soul. Therefore, I am three cultivation ranks above you all so to be able to withstand my pressure was impressive."
Instructor Su Ling explained with the cultivation rank to let these youths know that they have barely scraped the surface of being a cultivator.
Many youths have become arrogant and full of pride where they think being a Qi Condensation cultivator allows them to do whatever they want.
Although Su Ling answers the youth's question, she was pretty annoyed to be an instructor if it weren't for the fact that she gets more cultivation resources from the sect.
Teaching these youths to be mindful of their attitude on being a cultivator is a waste of time and she could have used it to increase her own cultivation.
However, there was one person that piqued interest in her and it was Yang Wei. His appearance may be handsome but that was not even the reason.
She has many pursuers who are handsome but rejected them all because they only lust after her beauty and have her become an accessory for them.
Being an instructor gives her authority and some influence so they don't dare to go overboard when approaching her.
Known for being a peerless beauty and coming from a noble family just below those top families was enough for men to flock at her.
Su Ling was used to being stared at with many lecherous eyes but Yang Wei was different. She has read all their information to know this person was only at the 1st stage of the Qi Condensation realm.
To be able to withstand her gravity pressure even if she has minimized it was noteworthy but his conduct was top notch.
'For a person to have this strong mindset and not be affected by outsiders. This is one good quality to become a prominent cultivator.' Su Ling said in her mind since everyone starts from the bottom when cultivating.
She has noticed Yang Wei leering at her but his eye remains crystal clear with no lewd expression on his face.
Su Ling has become able to read a person's thinking with just their facial expression and Yang Wei's expression was the curiosity type.
He was pondering about her and it's probably related to the gravity pressure she can emit as Yang Wei made a nodding sign when she explained her cultivation realm.
Such composure was rare in the cultivation world and she was sure he could definitely become a prominent figure soon with this attitude of his.
Shaking her head, she continued her lecture for another 3 hours before calling it a day for the youths to try and comprehend her words.
"This is enough for the day and the lecture will not begin tomorrow. You will have your own free time to cultivate your new martial or body technique that you have gotten from the Martial hall."
Instructor Su Ling said before giving a final glance at Yang Wei who was lost in his thought process before leaving the Lecture Hall.
"Let's go, I have just obtained some comprehension for my training."
"Same here, I'm not going to eat with you all. I need to swallow all this new information."
Everyone starts to scatter off somewhere else. The lecture only happens occasionally and they are important as new knowledge would surface in their brain.
No one wants to waste time on their training with new comprehension and explanation from the instructor.
Yang Wei was the same as them but instead of rushing to return to his own room. He managed to enter into a state of enlightenment where you can only encounter by luck.

8 206Journey of Infinite Steps
Science Fiction/ Low fantasy Iliad. Oliver just wanted a job that could keep his family fed, and himself sane. Was that so much to ask for? Apparently. As he instead ends up facing monsters and dodging his way to another world instead. Competent as he views himself figuring out how to reopen a portal back home by himself is defiantly above his knowledge base. Of coarse it would be vastly simpler if he could keep 'getting back home' as his primary goal. 'Staying alive' is unfortunately a far more immediate and relevant goal. I will post any content warnings on a Per Chapter basis. Divisive content will be as skip-able as I can reasonably manage Discord Link will be available for those interested in assisting editing/ coauthoring. Especially character writers/those willing to work out the math/ economies and world building even if only as a wall to bounce ideas off of.-----Full Synapsis contains serious spoilers----- Looking to take care of his family, Oliver finds himself flung into a faraway place. Try as he might, his Iliad will not be simple or peaceful as he'd like. Alas the slow and unending war of Chaos and Order has long memories and longer reach. If Oliver is to make his way back home it looks like He'll have to solve the universe one fight and mystery at a time. Especially as the Laws of Physics shift, often on a per world basis. Hopefully there is still a home to come back to.
