Chapter 143 – Sky Stance, Zodiac Sword

The recently required information broadened Ye Wei’s horizons; he started to think about concepts and ideas regarding cultivation as he had never imagined before.

“Master Ye, the conservatory has a tradition of giving newly-titled Runemasters a random stance. This traditional lottery is their reward for passing the entry exam!” The sweet, enthusiastic voice said.

That’s how Master Yi learned his healing stance, the Green Mizzle…’

The stances gifted to new Runemasters did not guarantee to be high-grade stances, but they were always rare stances. The Green Mizzle given to Master Yi was only a low-level Myst stance; nonetheless, if he ever decided to sell it at the black market, it would fetch a high-level Myst stance’s price.

“When Master Yi was accepted into the union, he was randomly given a very practical stance. I hope I will get something functional as well.” Ye Wei’s face shone with glimpses of hope and expectation.

Even though the stance distribution was randomized, the conservatory selected stances according to each Runemaster’s will-force properties.

“Master Ye, will you do the lottery now?” the hologram asked with a friendly smile.

“Lottery? Oh, for the stance! Yes, of course!” Ye Wei took a deep breath and collected himself.

“Okay!” the hologram nodded and waved her hand. The badge Ye Wei held loudly shook and projected a fortune wheel in the air. It divided into different sections, and each of the sections had a rune carved on it.

The silvery wheel was shrouded in a thin mist. In the wheel’s center visibly shown a golden pointer.

“Let’s begin!”

The wheel spun on its own; no one touched it. Concurrently with the wheel, the golden lotus mark on Ye Wei’s forehead started glowing.

“Swoosh!”

The wheel rapidly spun; there was no use to estimate what rune one would receive. Amidst the blurriness of the wheel itself, the only visible feature was the golden pointer, and Ye Wei could not take his eyes off the golden pointer for a second.

“Ding!”

A crisp, alerting sound echoed the room as the wheel stopped spinning. The sharp end of the pointer halted at a small line of letters.

“Sky stance – Zodiac Sword. Volume one.”

When Ye Wei and the hologram read the chosen small golden letters, they both went silent, indicating their bewilderment and confusion.

‘A Sky stance!? How can that be?’

The holographic girl covered her mouth while Ye Wei widened his eyes. He could hardly breathe, and she could barely understand. For centuries, a Sky stance has not surfaced in the whole Zhou dynasty.

Ye Wei imagined Sky stances were just legendary, fictional anything but real. When Pu Yuan told him that Supernova stances could evolve into one, he thought Pu Yuan just exaggerated and Sky stances didn’t exist anymore.

“I… I…” Ye Wei was stupefied. He tried to comprehend what kind of power this newly acquired stance might possess.

“Can that be a Sky stance? I have never seen any Sky stances coming out of the lottery until now!” The hologram froze from the shock of this miraculous event; she felt reality was tricking her, playing with her logical mind. Realizing she was embarrassing herself, she shook her head, decided to accept this illogical inconsistency, and congratulated Master Ye. She kept staring at Ye Wei, imagining what kind of luck this young boy had as there were only three Sky stances out of billion stances Ye Wei could have won.

“The first volume of Zodiac Sword… How many volumes are there in total?” Ye Wei asked, exhaling heavily at his supernatural luck.

“This volume can be bought by contribution tokens. You can look for yourself,” she waved her hand, and a hologram of a large jade wall appeared out of nowhere, with an extensive list of stance names and prices written on it.

From top to bottom it said,
