By then, it wouldn't matter whether or not the cultivators in question were willing. Their minds would be corroded enough at that point to distort their reasoning and leave them absolutely loyal to 'Mother.'"This....." Zhao Fao sucked in a cold breath, suddenly feeling wary. Who knew how many of this nefarious scheme had already successfully hatched in the shadows.After all, not everyone had his badass Willpower and system to safeguard him in the worst case scenario. It was almost guaranteed that 99% of targets would fall without resistance."Unfortunately, it's not ideal to warn the university. I don't know if the upper management is trustworthy and not under the Spirit Mother's spell..." Zhao Fao mumbled, then his eyes suddenly brightened.The Phantasm in his Sea of Consciousness shook to convey a thought as he pondered a moment ago. Apparently, the Divine Ape Child could sense anyone who bore traces of the Spirit Mother.Thinking of the mysterious appearance of the Divine Ape Chi

Teacher Ji was guiding Ji Jing in her cultivation when Zhao Fao showed up in class in the afternoon. The young lady snorted coldly when she caught sight of him."Didn't you say you'd be gone all month to train? Grew a brain half way through or something?"Zhao Fao ignored her and greeted Teacher Ji. Ji Jing fumed while they exchanged pleasantries."By the way, a new student recently joined the department. You'll get to meet them in a while."Ji Jing snorted in distaste, "Just a nepo baby waddling their way into the University using connections."Meanwhile, Zhao Fao raised an eyebrow as he caught a minor detail in Teacher Ji's words, "Them?"Just then, the door swung open and a petite-looking lady waltzed in. She had an oval-shaped, soft face with perfectly arched eyebrows which highlighted her deep, azure-coloured eyes.With her tiny nose and cherry lips, she was the spitting image of an ethereal fairy. However, Zhao Fao inadvertently glanced downwards at her bosom and noticed her 'fl

On the way, Zhao Fao consulted with the system. Even though he had an inkling his idea was feasible, he still wanted to confirm in advance.[Yes, you can utilize Deception Slate to find which astral flare balls are safe for direct absorption]However, Zhao Fao's heart hurt when he estimated the amount of essence points he would end up using if he replicated the same verification method he had used back in Greenleaf Spirit Village. Perhaps it was due to his low cultivation base, but his usage rights to Deception Slate were rather primitive and he couldn't utilize it smartly without expending a lot of points.[Your cultivation base is indeed too low] The system said without warning."Right, no thanks to you," Zhao Fao grumbled. Teacher Ji heard him and looked back in puzzlement, "Uhn?""It's nothing, Teacher!" Zhao Fao said and fell quiet.A dull glow flickered as an hidden door was opened, leading to the Observatory. Teacher Ji flashed a token just as crisscrossed red laser beams shone

At the end, Teacher Ji refused Zhao Fao's request firmly. Generally, the Star Field Observatory was not exactly open for private cultivation so he couldn't make special exceptions.Zhao Fao glanced greedily and regretfully at the one thousand and seventy something Astral Flare Balls suspended in the static field as he left. Just two had improved his realm this much, he could only imagine his cultivation speed if he had free access.Ji Jing could not hide her joy seeing Zhao Fao's get rejected. Zhao Fao noticed this and snorted without saying a word, making a mental note to be less chivalrous to the malicious witch in the future.Strangely, Qing Yi moved close to him in the escalator and whispered close to his left ear, "Zhao Fao, can we talk in private after this?""In private, you say?" Zhao Fao frowned."Yes, in my dormitory. I have some things to ask–""Not interested," Zhao Fao was already feeling goosebumps at the close proximity and backed away hurriedly. It just so happened tha

Time passed quickly.By the time it was two days to the newbie tournament, Zhao Fao had opened up and filled the other dual apertures in his right upper limb. The implication of this was that his right arm became the strongest part of his body, far outclassing his other limbs in brute force alone.More importantly, Zhao Fao could now utilize the uniqueness of two-star realm cultivators, Externalization, to cast minor Qi techniques. He had already taken the liberty to exchange for the two-star portion of the Oscillating Resonant Acupoint Fist Technique, raising his mastery to greater success during this time.Of course, there were more superior techniques available, but there wasn't enough time to cultivate his apertures, let alone practice techniques. Zhao Fao found it rather regretful but settled for a balanced schedule, dividing all his time between astral cultivation and technique refinement to maximize his gains.For recreation, he had recently taken to Unorthodox Alchemy. The ter
