Chapter 311 Sea God's Fate!
Research Begins!
Now, more than a year later, as Wu Xuan unfurled the scroll of the Descent Technique once more, he had many insights different from the first time.
Condensing matter and form, spirited and divine—after reading the first step of the technique, Wu Xuan pondered for a moment and began to use his spiritual power to mobilize the soul power throughout his body. With the condensation of pale blue soul power, the general outline of the Golden Scaled Griffin was indeed constructed by Wu Xuan.
"Bang!"
However, it only lasted a few breaths before the condensed outline collapsed. But Wu Xuan didn't feel any regret; instead, he was extremely excited.
Because this was his first attempt at creating something from nothing!
Strike while the iron is hot, Wu Xuan continued his uninterrupted practice!
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed!
Calming his mind and circulating his soul power, accompanied by the rapid guidance of his spiritual power, a bright blue-gold light suddenly shone. As Wu Xuan opened his palm, a lifelike little griffin leaped up!
"Screech!" A sharp cry of an eagle suddenly echoed from the training room!
Seeing this, Wu Xuan laughed heartily. His ethereal form and spiritual essence were fully realized; he had mastered the first and most difficult step of the Descent Technique!
Just as Wu Xuan was manipulating the little griffin, practicing its abilities, a series of knocks sounded at the training room door.
A familiar voice came from outside: "Junior Brother, why are you still in seclusion? Come out and change your clothes quickly; the academy has a big event coming up!"
Wu Xuan retrieved the griffin from its grasp and opened the training room door: "Senior Brother, my cultivation is at a crucial stage. What event could be more important than my training?"
"Junior Brother, you can't comprehend the Descent Technique in a short time. Why don't you come out of seclusion, relax, and participate in the upcoming 'Sea of Seas' event!"
"Condensing matter and form, spirited and divine! This is the entry-level stage of the Descent Secret Technique! Junior Brother, you... you've succeeded?" Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes! I've been in seclusion for over a month, it's time to see some results." Wu Xuan smiled.
"Your results are truly astounding. Compared to you, I, who was hailed as the number one genius a hundred years ago, am nothing." Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Senior Brother, as Teacher said, each generation must surpass the last to demonstrate the academy's progress, right?" Wu Xuan smiled.
"Haha! That's true. If your next generation isn't as good as us, then we teachers will be in trouble." Yan Shaozhe sighed sincerely.
"Hmm! By the way, Senior Brother, what activity did you want me to participate in earlier?" Wu Xuan asked in surprise, as if he had just thought of something.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "This activity can be described in two words: blind date!"
"Me? Blind date?" Wu Xuan was stunned and blurted out the question.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "This is actually a traditional activity of our academy. As you know, our inner court students are the true elite of the academy. And the number of students permanently residing in the inner court rarely exceeds one hundred. It's usually around fifty or sixty people. And our inner court also shoulders the task of the supervisory team. Everyone is also diligently cultivating. Therefore, apart from being somewhat familiar with each other, we hardly have any opportunities to interact with the outside world for extended periods of time. And there is no age limit for inner court students. Therefore, the academy has noticed that many inner court disciples are already older young people, but they still don't have suitable partners."
"I understand this event, but I don't think I need it!" Wu Xuan looked at Yan Shaozhe in surprise.
"We didn't originally plan to invite you, but our teacher said this might be the last Sea God's Fate he can witness, so we hope you won't miss it," Yan Shaozhe sighed.
"Senior Brother, can an 80,000-year-old immortal herb only extend our teacher's life by about a year?" Wu Xuan felt extremely upset.
"Extending his life by about a year is already unbelievable even to Elder Zhuang. Our teacher suffered a fatal internal injury in his early years, and his body is riddled with holes. It's safe to say he can't retain any life force. So, Junior Brother, you don't need to be too sad," Yan Shaozhe comforted him.
"I know, thank you, Senior Brother! I will participate in this Sea God's Fate." Wu Xuan nodded slowly. At this moment, Wu Xuan's determination to become a god had become stronger than ever before.
When that day comes, he will definitely resurrect his parents and his teacher.
"I'm relieved to hear that, Senior Brother. Don't worry, I'll persuade Xiao Tao. Besides, she's already joined the Sea God Pavilion, it's not appropriate for her to participate in your group's matchmaking activities," Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.
There was one more thing Yan Shaozhe didn't mention: the Sea God's Fate has developed for over a thousand years, and it's an undeniable fact that every couple holds hands.
That means each boy can only take one girl with him. If this tacit understanding is broken, wouldn't the Sea God's Fate be a devastating blow to the weaker inner court students?
Wu Xuan twitched his lips upon hearing this. He's the heir of the Sea God Pavilion, yet he's allowed to participate in this matchmaking activity?
"Alright, don't look at me like that. Tonight is your nominal singles night, and all the little guys in the inner court are asking where you went!" Yan Shaozhe smiled awkwardly, then turned and disappeared.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan didn't chase after him to ask any further questions. He stretched his body, changed into the inner court disciples' uniform red robes, and headed straight for the inner court's canteen. When Wu Xuan arrived, it was already evening.
The cafeteria was much busier than usual. All the male students from the inner courtyard were gathered there, and there were nearly thirty students eating. The food was also much more plentiful than before. There were also two large wooden barrels of wine on the side, for the students to help themselves.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan, you're really a busy man! It's been several months since we've seen you!" A voice that Wu Xuan recognized came from directly in front of him. "Senior Brother Chu, long time no see!" Wu Xuan smiled and said.
"Junior Brother, come and have a few drinks with us!" Several more voices came from the seats next to him. They were acquaintances of Wu Xuan: Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan!
Yao Haoxuan raised his glass and stepped forward enthusiastically, saying, "Junior Brother Wu, tomorrow night is the Sea God's Fate event. Tonight is called Singles' Night. Everyone's cultivation is very intense and boring on weekdays, so a little drink is nothing. Come on, cheers!"
Wu Xuan raised his glass and clinked it with the others.
My first taste of this so-called wine was quite disappointing. It was somewhat sour and astringent, with a strong aroma of smoky plum. But soon, a pleasant aftertaste emerged, carrying a subtle fragrance of oak barrels and a rich array of grape aromas.
