The start of cultivation (1)

Six years flashed past with immense speed and the Skyblue town was very bustling today because this particular day was the day all the children at the age of twelve will be inducted into their first cultivation ceremony.

The induction ceremony was extremely important to the town because it was where the various cultivation talents of the young children could be discovered and the appearance of a supreme talent could attract powerful sects from the nearby areas .

If that particular child is lucky to be valued by such a sect then the status of the town will be greatly elevated.

The children taking part in the induction ceremony can not pass the age of twelve because it was at this certain age that the meridian point will manifest but that did not mean that one can not cultivate before or after the age of twelve.

The town's training ground was vast , spanning hundreds of meters and within the training ground , different stacks containing different mortal weapons could be seen here and there.

In another part of the training ground , wooden puppets which were used for combat training could be seen in all shapes and sizes.

At the rear of the training ground , large iron balls which served the purpose of extreme body tempering could be seen hovering in the air from the fixed pulley like instrument and they shone with vicious light , making the nearby children gulp with immense nervousness as they wondered how people could train with such huge monsters.

"Aina , can you stop being so clingy ?". Amon said with exasperation as he looked at Aina who was holding his left hand without the intention of letting go at all.

Her body was completely pressed towards the body of Amon as she completely clung to him.

These past six years brought alot of physical changes to the body of Amon.

Due to the presence of spiritual energy, the children experience rapid development in terms of their physical traits.

The current Amon although still a twelve year old boy already had a height of 5 'feet plus and the most of his baby fats were completely gone and his face became more refined and pronounced.

His jawline became more angular and his long black hair was tied in a ponytail style. His black eyes seemed to have become darker and was glistening like a pair of precious rubies.

Two cross like ear rings could be seen on both of his ears and they added a mysterious charm to his good looking face , making him appear devilishly handsome.

Many young girls in the training ground were sneakily admiring him much to the displeasure of Aina .

"Humph , I don't want anyone to snatch you away from me ". Aina who also had a drastic change in terms of physical appearance snorted softly and gripped his hand with more force.

She was already showing signs of becoming a very beautiful girl and her emerald eyes shone with vigilance as she glanced at the surrounding girls with hostility.

In her eyes , they were obviously trying snatch away her big brother from her. Although Amon was not her biological brother , she was very attached to him since they practically grew up together.

Amon who saw this scene sighed with helplessness . Aina was very protective and did not allow any girl to come close to him.

"Amon , Aina , are you both listening to my explanations ?". The instructor who was a tall burly man with bulging muscles shouted from the front when he spotted them arguing.

"Yes , Grandmaster Seamus !! ". Amon and Aina chorused together as they both looked at the front with all seriousness.

The man referred to as grandmaster Seamus looked at the two misbehaving brats for a while before he continued in his speech about cultivation. Seamus was the strongest cultivator in the Skyblue town and was rumoured to be at the peak of the spirit refinement realm.

"The human body contains one hundred and two meridian energy points which serves as passage for the spiritual energy to enter our body .

In order to start cultivating and officially become a body refining expert , one need to open the meridian energy points. The higher the number of meridian energy points opened , the higher your potential .

If you open less than ten meridian energy points , then you are destined to be struck in the body refining realm for the rest of your life because the low meridian energy points can not withstand the massive spiritual energy needed for the breakthrough of the next realm". Seamus said with a solemn expression.

The expression of the young children instantly changed as they became extremely nervous .

The words of Seamus made them to fear an explicable fear.

Remaining in the body refining realm forever was a nightmare for anyone and no one wanted to become a mediocre cultivator.

The average life expectancy of a body refining cultivator was just two hundred years and the spirit refinement realm which was just above it was just five hundred years.

"I hope someone with over forty meridian energy points opened will appear in this batch". Seamus looked at the various children with a hint of expectancy in his eyes.

The appearance of such talent will instantly elevate the status of the town but it was easier said than done .

The probability of such talent appearing was extremely low .

"Okay everyone , sit cross legged and follow my instructions". Seamus clapped his two hands slightly and the various children immediately took their positions .

"Calm your heart and empty your mind ". Seamus said slowly as he walked around and adjusted the posture of many children .

"First of all , you must sense ....hey ! , Adrian shut up and close your eyes ". Seamus glared at one of the children who was playfully pinching his friend beside him.

The child who was called shivered slightly with fright and hurriedly closed his eyes.

"Like I was saying , you must sense your energy meridian points before you start guarding the surrounding spiritual energy through those passages ". The loud voice of Seamus could be heard in the training ground as he instructed the children.

Everywhere became very quiet as many children tried to sense their various meridian energy points .

"Strange , why is my own meridian energy points three hundred and sixty ". Amon who immediately sensed his meridian energy points frowned slightly and said.

The current situation stumped him and he did not know what to do.
