Even if there was a chance that they could be Primordial Beasts, their rank would still be beneath the three, four and five-eyed experts due to their bloodline being different.
Xue Wei and the others ignored the contempt that was sent their way. Their aloof behavior caused the many-eyed experts to feel perplexed and rather shocked. No one with only two eyes had previously been so casual in front of them!
Some snorted with arrogance and swore that they would get back at them with time, others were amazed and felt that perhaps these experts were different and yet some did not care.
Elder Sun was astounded by the fact that Xue Wei and his comrades were capable of completely ignoring the many people who looked down upon them. Apparently their mental fortitude was much stronger than he had expected.
It required some mental fortitude to completely ignore such a large quantity of disdain.
”Come inside this tent and take your oath,” Elder Sun said smilingly. ”We will explain the details of the mission to you when you have taken the oath.”
”Okay.” Having already decided upon what to do, Xue Wei did not cause a fuss or question the oath. He had already accepted it, and he was not one to change his mind.
Seeing his straightforward way of acting, Elder Sun was very pleased and felt incredibly satisfied.
This tent was ten times bigger than the other tents. When they entered inside, they saw that multiple walls of fabric had been erected, splitting the tent into different 'rooms' and that there were people in some of these rooms.
Xue Wei, who had trained with formations, could instantly sense that there were formations all over the tent; every room was covered in multiple formations he had never seen before.
Noticing Xue Wei's glance at the many runes that had been inscribed on the fabric around the tents, a chuckle escaped Elder Sun's lips.
”Have you dabbled in formations before?” He asked as he saw the curiosity in Xue Wei's eyes. Xue Wei, not hiding this fact, nodded his head.
”I have indeed had something to do with formations before, but I cannot recognize these formations,” he admitted.
”Here in Yan Dalu we specialize in spiritual energy. The more eyes you have, the more talented you are in spiritual energy. Those who cultivate Qi as their main base for cultivation are often looked down upon. However, even if a two-eyed cultivates spiritual energy, they will never have a high standing compared to their many-eyed counterparts. Also, those who cultivates Qi are mainly those with two eyes.”
”Of course, there are some exceptions where a Qi cultivator has become outstanding. Unfortunately, they are exceedingly rare.”
”From what I can sense of the four of you, three of you have high Qi levels, while the fourth has no Qi level at all. Peculiar.”
”Although the other three of you have cultivated your Qi, I have to admit that you, Xue Wei, have achieved quite a good result in the field of Spiritual Energy. If you did not try to cultivate both parts, your results would have been even more outstanding.”
”I like cultivating Qi, though,” Xue Wei said after a bit of contemplation. To him both spiritual energy and Qi was equally important.
”Well, we do have a Qi department in the academy,” Elder Sun said after a bit of time. ”We mainly invite Primordial Beasts to participate in that class, but considering the current achievements of the three of you, you are all eligible to join the Qi Cultivation Class.”
Xue Wei nodded his head. For Lin Xiao and Hei Gou, it was obvious what class they would enter, just as it was obvious which class Bai Tianyi would enter. The only one left was Xue Wei. He had higher Qi cultivation rank than his spiritual energy.
His Qi had risen all the way to the eight layer of the Ordinary Knight rank after he finished refining the cultivation bases of all those people his Devouring Dragon ate back in Heping Kingdom. His spiritual energy level was still at the sixth layer of the Ordinary Knight rank. Although it was lower than the Qi layer, his performance in this aspect was indeed not bad.
”Think it through,” Elder Sun understood that it was not an easy decision. ”Well, first off, I will recite the oath that you are to take for you. If the oath is not too terrible in your opinion, then you should take it and then consider where to go from there.”
”The oath is as following,” Elder Sun started, ”I swear to the heavens above that I will never betray the Garden of Shadows as long as the Garden of Shadows does not betray me or treat me unfairly.”
”That was simple,” Hei Gou muttered. Elder Sun snickered. ”It is better to be straightforward and simple,” he said, grinning. ”So what do you think?”
Xue Wei considered it for a moment and then nodded his head. ”Those words, we can say them,” he said and then repeated the oath verbatim.
Not long after, Bai Tianyi did the same, and then Hei Gou and Lin Xiao followed suit.
Seeing the four of them swear the oath, Elder Sun's face was so filled with smiles that his eyes were narrowed into slits. He looked rather odd with his four eyes narrowed like that and a smile that wide.
