8 Chap 8: Althidon the capital (2/2)

We start following and the man keeps going and going and after about 30 minutes somebody asked where we are going and the main said

”Currently we are circling the whole Academy and we will not stop until 5 full laps are done and after every lap I will increase my speed anyone who is more than 300 meters away from me when we finish the test is eliminated and whoever gets to finish it will advance to the second test which is the last one”

We kept on walking and walking and I realized some people were unable to keep up and some of them started sweating profusely and after the third round we had only 200 people remaining after the fourth lap we had 100 and I also started feeling tired and I was using most of my power to reach the teacher but I still was able to go for at least 5-6 mire laps with this speed soon the first test ended and there was 96 people only then the second tester who was a female in a blue dress with a dazzling figure came and said

”Your next test is to look at the scriptures in the walls over there and try to learn as much as you can in the 3 hours you are allowed to you will be tested at the end of the exam the higher level you reach the harder it will be to go further”

I started working on the first scripture in the fist technique wall and it was pretty easy to learn I finished it in 30-40 seconds and left for the second one a few more people came after 20-30 more seconds but I was focused on learning the skill after 5 more minutes I was done and started moving towards the third scripture and I realized the skills I got from the scriptures merged on their own and I remembered reading brute strength technique part 1 after I finished learning the first skill and now it said pat 1\u00262

It took me 15 minutes to finish the third scripture and I saw that there was 2 more scriptures and another wall for fist fighting techniques if you finished you could go and learn another technique, I finish the last two techniques in about an hour and now the skill turned into brute strength technique complete and it was a B grade skill but I didn't integrate it directly as I will be tested on it also it is not really compatible with penetration but bot being powerful and having penetration might be a nice combo I learned one more skill before the time was over its name was one punch moves the world it was harder than the first one but I finished it quicker I don't know how Now I had about half an hour to wait so started trying the movements of the skills I got at first I was just meh but in a few minutes I got the gist of the skills fortunately they weren't skills that could level like the monster skills I got or the skills you get from your skill tree so I didn't need to work on them for weeks to get the gist of the skills.

The learning period ended and they started testing us out of The 96 people 73 people got eliminated 22 people became outer students and became an inner student

I asked what they meant by inner outer student and the teacher told me that outer disciples didn't get any resources and they had to do missions to get contribution points to even get a g grade skill but inner disciples didn't have to do missions they could finish tasks in the academy such as the million steps forest or the unmovable waterfall. I was placed in a room of my own with its own bathroom and training room and even its own gravity increaser which could go up to 100000000(100 million) times the gravity of the earth we live in I started with 10x to see if it would do anything and to my surprise I earned a few stat points in str, vit and dex but only a few points and not much I asked teacher if there was any way to increase my stat points without leveling she told me to consume some pills given by the academy every month and increase the gravity as much as I could and use skills again and again so both my power and skills would get more refined after that she told me I could also finish some tasks in the academy get contribution points and use those on a body cultivation technique and some more advanced pills she told me that people could earn up to 300-500 stat points in all their stats from some of the cultivation techniques

I went to the million steps forest to see what it was and turns out every step you take you have to face people of your same level and their numbers increase more and more every time until it reaches 20 and stays that way for at least hundreds of steps and your progression would be deleted when you are defeated but the time in there is accelerated by 86400 times so every day in there is a second outside. They were able to achieve this with the help of the king and some divine artifacts and it was because it was happening in the persons mind and not in real life that they could achieve this.

I entered the forest like everybody else and stopped after a step

I was teleported to an arena
