last update2024-06-11 16:28:41
Verdantial Academy is a prestigious institution for cultivators, created solely to nurture skills and talent.

While at the academy, your status outside whether royalty, great family, first, second, or third-rate family doesn't matter.

The academy is situated in Luminaris City, which is under the Lumina family.

Despite being inside the city, the academy itself is much larger due to space formations used to expand its territory.

It is one of the safest places in all of Verdantia; no external forces can breach the academy without permission.

Those who enter the academy are isolated from the outside world for seven years. During these seven years, you are on your own.

The academy only provides you with necessary equipment to cultivate and increase your knowledge.

The first two years are focused on theory, and after that, practical training begins.

For practical training, you can choose martial art manuals if you are a martial artist or spells manuals if you are a mage that suits you.

    The wind whistled past them as Oasis, Venak, and Shiye galloped at full speed northeastward, their Equinores thundering through the winding dirt trail that carved through the outlands from Riverbend Hamlet toward Mossy Hollow.The sun was just directly above them, and shadows stretched short within their silhouette.But even amidst the rhythmic gallop of hooves and rustling foliage, a presence stirred.The nearby woods trembled faintly—branches shook with a rhythm that didn’t match the wind.“We’re being followed,” Shiye said, his voice laced with tension.Oasis didn’t even glance back.“I know. I marked them days back as they were flexing their bloodlust,” Oasis said calmly, his eyes glowing faintly as his spiritual perception clung to the subtle energy signatures moving through the trees like specters.“What should we do about them, Young Master?” Shiye asked as his Equinore weaved between boulders."Let’s stop… and see what purpose they bring,” Oasis said, pulling gently on his rei

    Venak and Shiye didn’t waste a moment.As soon as the rumbling quieted and the clouds parted above, the two figures dived like streaking shadows into the gaping hole where Lucas Grain’s house once stood.Dust still lingered, and the mana-thick air shimmered with residual energy from the storm.They landed gently within the cracked foundation of the ruined house.And there, in the epicenter of the crater, sat Oasis Volacris, still in a meditative trance—his legs folded in the lotus position, eyes closed, body humming with power.A calm cyan aura flowed softly around him like a windless flame—pure, radiant, and without turbulence.The energy pulsed rhythmically, as if resonating with the world itself.The ground beneath him had formed slight indentations, showing the sheer pressure that had radiated from his body during the breakthrough.Then, his eyes opened.Still and unwavering, his irises glowed faintly with divine azure, and at that moment, the aura around him gently receded, drawi

    Oasis returned to the house, the night still wrapped in silver from the twin moons that hung high above.Inside, a soft glow from the mana lanterns gave the place a warm amber hue.The old fisherman, now known to Oasis as Lucas Grain, had set out a humble but fragrant meal.As they sat across from each other, the weight in Lucas’s shoulders seemed to dissolve.They shared laughter, genuine and unforced—for the first time in many years.Lucas’s eyes glistened with a kind of brightness not born from tears, but from release, from the healing of burdens carried for far too long.Through conversation, Oasis learned more about the man who once fished for river trout and lived for his wife and child—both lost in the massacre.Now, seated across from a boy he'd once helped rescue from a river, Lucas could finally smile without hiding pain.He was deeply grateful to Oasis—not just for sharing the meal together, but for reminding him of hope.After dining, Oasis bowed slightly to Lucas with app

    “He survived, it seems,” Oasis smirked as he took a few slow steps toward the table, his boots clinking softly on the polished wooden floor of the inn.Venak stood, his eyes narrowing as he observed the tension in the room. “Young Master… you know him?”Oasis nodded calmly, gaze locked on the slouching brute surrounded by wine and women. “This bully? Yeah. I know him very well.”Around them, murmurs rippled like a cold wind through the inn.But the whispers weren't in support—they were murmurs of pity for Oasis and his companions.Bozer was a name that struck hesitation in many hearts around these parts. To anger him was considered foolish. Taboo, even."What do we do with them?” Venak asked, his voice low and steady.Oasis turned to him slightly, that calm smile never leaving his lips. “Don’t worry. Just sit down, enjoy the show... and take notes on how stray beasts are punished.”“You dare call this Bozer a stray beast?” Bozer snarled still slouched in his seat, his eyes hazy with w

    “Mmh… fascinating,” Oasis murmured, retracting his hand from the massive globe of sealed energy.As the ripple of mana quieted, a thoughtful light shimmered in his azure eyes.“This… this isn’t just raw power. There’s insight… memories… a portion of Master Elias’s magical knowledge woven into it.”Oasis took a step back and exhaled slowly, gazing into the swirling power.“So a mage can divide their strength to such magnitude… truly extraordinary.”His mind flickered back to the scroll, a vivid account of Master Elias’s life that he had studied closely.After the infamous War of Enlightenment, Elias had been tainted by demonic mana, a creeping curse that began to erode his Mana heart and conscious realm.To resist its spread and preserve his strength, Elias had used an ancient magical method known as the Triform Severance Method, a forbidden technique of Runic Spirit Division. He had coined this sealed room and the method used within it "The First Anchor of Purity."Using the Triform

    The chamber shimmered gently, the air humming with latent power.Thin veins of glowing mana pulsed across the floor like living lines of energy, reacting to jade's presence.As he set the jade token into place, a soft vibration rippled through the room.Instantly, a translucent barrier of protective mana bloomed outward, forming a dome around the room to isolate it from the outside.With a deep mechanical groan, the floor split open, parting in two symmetrical arcs as if awakening from a deep slumber.A cool, glowing light emerged from beneath.A hidden staircase spiraled downward—carved with ancient runes, each glowing faintly in the presence of Oasis’s mana.Without hesitation, Oasis stepped forward and descended.As he moved, a wisp of his mana trailed with each step, activating the mana lamps along the walls.As if called to life by his presence, the mana lamps along the stone walls flared awake one by one, casting a soft glow that illuminated the path downward.The air grew dense
