Chapter 792: Chapter 347: Your Gaze Is Off, Give Them a Shock
“The Imperial Capital Mountain Range is an energy vein discovered three years ago, containing abundant energy crystals, which is why the Seventh Corps established a mining site there.”
“The site manager is at the pinnacle of Seventh Layer of Heaven in cultivation, and the deputy manager is in the late period of the Seventh Layer; they both belong to the older generation of cultivators, aged over fifty.”
“These seniors have spent many years in the mythical world and possess a wealth of experience, but at the same time, they’ve lost the fervor of the past, so many have chosen to guard Resource Points.”
“And the exploration team that discovered the energy crystal mine a few years ago continues to receive a significant amount of Merit Value each month.”
In the dark of night, fighter aircraft flew at ten thousand meters altitude, with Hannah Gail inside the aircraft briefing Jack Clark on the information about the mountain ranges for this mission.
When talking about the monthly gains of that exploration team, Gentry Levin showed envy, “If we’re lucky enough to find an energy vein, that would be great.”
“Then we would have a steady stream of Merit Value and wouldn’t need to venture deep into the mythical world for adventures.”
Reginald Vinson said cheerfully, “I’m not asking for much; I’d be content if we could find a regenerating God-level Resource Point.”
“Damn, Vinson, you’re even greedier than me,” Gentry Levin flipped him off.
However, both of them weren’t entirely joking, because this is the mythical world, where resources are limitless.
Maybe the next time they delve into the mythical world, they’ll come across a treasure, like a Divine Object containing laws that can enable them to breakthrough a realm just by acquiring it.
Over the years, many cultivators with average talents who never thought they could break through to the Eight Layer Heaven or Nine Layers have ascended against all odds because they stumbled upon a Divine Object.
Besides that, uncovering relics, bringing back information from different race civilizations, or expanding new maps—there are rewards for all of these things from the Federation.
That includes, but is not limited to, discovering Resource Points and extraordinary energy mines. This is also the allure of the Exploration Department, attracting many high-level cultivators with adventuring spirits to continuously forge ahead into the future.
This exploration is not just for the Human Race but also for themselves.
At this moment, everyone was fully armed. Hannah Gail wore silver and white gorgeous armor, and the other members were similarly clad, including Jack Clark who was covered in Black-red armor.
However, the flames on the armor had receded.
Then, a delicate fragrance wafted over, and mature and charming Cathie Lawson suddenly leaned in, gazing curiously at Jack Clark’s handsome profile, she whispered,
“Brother Callum, can you tell Sister Cathie how you managed to break through the Eight Layer Heaven at eighteen?”
Suddenly, everyone except Sinclair Moore turned their curious gazes to him.
Seeing this, Jack Clark pondered for a moment, “Actually, my cultivation talent was average at first. It took me half a month to reach Foundation Establishment, and I was only practicing low-level martial arts.”
“What, Brother Callum, you started with low-level martial arts when you first began cultivation at school?” Reginald Vinson was a bit stunned.
Jack Clark nodded, “Yes, but after I began cultivating True Martial Arts at Foundation Establishment, I felt that my cultivation speeds increased. And then, I just broke through to the Eight Layer Heaven.”
“…I can’t believe it, Mr. Jack actually started with low-level martial arts,” Cathie Lawson’s eyes flickered with amazement.
“Impressive,” the small-framed, quiet woman Sibyl Millan also said.
They had assumed that Jack Clark must have had extraordinary talents from the start, the kind of prodigy who receives substantial resources upon enrollment for cultivation.
It turned out he started with low-level martial arts.
They were also aware of the current Federal School’s training system: the higher the talent, the more resources one gets upon enrollment.
With Jack Clark taking half a month to reach Foundation Establishment and only able to cultivate low-level martial arts, he had far fewer resources than the top-notch geniuses, putting him at a significant disadvantage from the start.
The fact that he managed to reach the Eight Layer Heaven before graduation is almost unimaginable; it’s as if he’s been defying the odds step by step.
While Cathie Lawson and the others appeared impressed and shocked, Sinclair Moore felt these words seemed familiar.
That’s right, this guy claimed to have fought ‘to a standstill’ with him during their match in the Hundred Foxes Nation and mentioned something similar over dinner that night.
While everyone was still in shock, Jack Clark modestly said, “Actually, breaking through the Eight Layer Heaven at eighteen isn’t as extraordinary as you all think. For example, Eddy Keller from the Military Secret Martial Arts Academy broke through the Eight Layer just a week ago.”
“In addition, there’s an Innate Awakened One on the Northern Battlefield who’s only a sophomore and has already reached the mid-stage of the seventh realm. Because of some special reasons, that guy might break through to the Eight Layer in another two months.”
“There’s also this guy Balderas from Berlin, who I met last month—he was already in the late period of Seventh Layer, close to the pinnacle, and will probably break through the Eight Layer soon.”
There’s actually another one, Brudos, this mysterious and low-key guy has also started on the Road of Heavenly Kings. After a big gain in the relic, he should be able to break through to the Eighth Layer Heaven soon.
But Jack Clark didn’t mention this person, as after the relic event, the Nether Heavenly King tampered with everyone’s memories, erasing all information about Brudos in the process.
After all, that guy’s identity was special too.
Even so, Reginald Vinson and the others were once again baffled, feeling a mixture of shock and bewilderment.
What’s going on, have they, the ‘older’ crowd, become obsolete? Is it now standard for students to break through to the Eight Layer before graduation?
Otherwise, where did all these freaks come from?
As everyone was absorbed in their surprise, the fighter aircraft flew over several dangerous zones, and after roughly two hours, it arrived at a mountain range rich in Heavenly Energy.
