Chapter 722 - Things Are Different Here (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A lesson in the Mystic Sect was being conducted. Everyone gained a lot from that lesson, but some of them were troubled by what they had learned.
Honestly, Laura felt pretty overwhelmed these past few days. In the Federation, she had always been proud of the fact that she possessed a soul beast; yet here, it was insignificant. It was as if anyone could have a soul beast if they wanted to, and she needed some time to adapt to this new thinking. The good thing was that her Dharma Idol was quite powerful, or she would feel really inferior since not everyone was as optimistic as Sharmie.
Sometimes, she really envied Sharmie and Scarlet. They didn’t seem to trouble over which supreme force to join; the former because it was quite straightforward for her, while someone else already made the decision for the latter.
Walking out from cla.s.s and rubbing her forehead, she called Sharmie using the Skylink.
“Have you just ended cla.s.s? Was it the one at the Mystic Sect?” Sharmie’s chirpy voice came from the other end. “Go out and turn left toward the Weiss Forest Café. Me and Scarlet are already waiting. Come quick!”
The Weiss Forest Café was the property of a Great Teacher in the Mystic Sect and managed by Dimensional Humans. The environment was not bad; it was a place where many students of the Mystic Sect usually congregated. Teachers and Great Teachers needed help in running their errands too; at their level, they needed a lot more Holy Coins for their research and cultivation. They wouldn’t waste their own time to personally purchase things such as Evil Demon Blood.
Making full use of manpower has always been a trait of humans.
In the Holy Land, only Holy Coins could be used in the core regions; however, Federation Coins could be used in certain service-oriented outer regions. One Holy Coin was equivalent to more than ten thousand Federation Coins according to the floating exchange rate. In some situations, one Holy Coin could even be exchanged for one hundred thousand Federation Coins. However, it depended on your luck if you wanted to exchange Federation Coins into Holy Coins as Holy Coins were priceless.
Although she had been in the Holy City for a period of time, she still hadn’t fully adapted to everything here. Anyone who reached the Heroic Soul Stage was already an expert on Earth, and they were normally of high social status too. Even in the 10 Great Families, a Heroic Soul Soldier was respected and valued, but this did not apply to the Holy Land — Heroic Soul Soldiers were worth nothing here. Despite the fact that Laura was the heiress to the Potter clan and she often interacted with Heroic Soul Soldiers, she still felt uncomfortable looking at Heroic Soul ‘experts’ attending to them like servants.
“You still haven’t decided which force to join, huh?” Sharmie teased her, “If you ask me, you should join the Sparta Clan with me. Wouldn’t you feel uneasy if you joined the Mystic Sect? I’ve heard that the strongest few of this cohort are joining the Mystic Sect. All of the teachers’ attention will be on them, like our dear sister, Scarlet. If the teachers at Mystic Sect use her as a benchmark, you would be very stressed out there.”
“Stress will bring motivation.” Laura didn’t really care about that. “That’s not my concern. I think I should choose the one that suits the future direction I’m going in. Even if I eliminated the Tyrants from my choices, it is pretty hard to choose between the other two.”
“When it is time for us to officially register, there will be a segment where teachers judge and select students.” Beside her, Scarlet smiled. “If you really can’t decide, you can look at the teachers’ remarks and att.i.tude toward you for reference. You don’t need to hurry in your decision.”
