240: Chapter 240: Three Great Academies 240: Chapter 240: Three Great Academies Sikong Jing certainly wasn’t just comforting himself, he truly didn’t want to stay.

This was something Sikong Jing had thought through a long time ago.

To rapidly advance his realm and strength, it was impossible within the Black Burning Army.

His body carried the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, and he needed to observe more powerful demon beasts.

Moreover, stimulating battles were also necessary.

With his father-in-law and mother-in-law as well as Su Yue Immortal staying in the Black Burning Army, he was relieved of many worries.

Ning Jingjing glared at Sikong Jing hard and asked, “Do you know that with your Spirit Martial Root, it is truly impossible for you to reach the Innate Realm?”

She could understand Sikong Jing’s thoughts now, which was to carve out a bloody path for himself in the outside world.

But reality was too cruel, death could come at any time outside, and the idea of finding his sister was a wild goose chase, simply impossible.

“Is it really impossible?” Sikong Jing asked in return.

Looking at the confident Sikong Jing, Ning Jingjing replied unwillingly, “It’s not entirely impossible, but the chances are too small.”

In the history of the Long Night Empire, there had indeed been individuals with Spirit Martial Roots who broke through to the Innate Realm, but the recorded instances had already spanned a thousand years.

Such chances were negligibly small.

“As long as there is a chance, I am certain I can reach it, General Ning can rest assured.”

Sikong Jing said with a smile.

For him, reaching the Innate Realm was easy, it was just that the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts couldn’t be explained.

Therefore, he added, “General Ning doesn’t need to bother helping me improve my Martial Root, really, it’s not necessary.”

When Sikong Jing heard Ning Jingjing say she wanted to restore his Martial Root to Fourth Grade back at the castle, he was deeply moved in his heart.

But it truly wasn’t necessary, he couldn’t let Ning Jingjing worry about this.

Finally, Sikong Jing changed the topic and asked seriously, “There is one question I wish to ask for advice on, does General Ning know of any exceptional doctors who could be introduced?

I want to help my wife repair her meridians and Dantian.”

This was his primary mission after leaving the Long Night Black Burning Camp.

Stunned for a moment, Ning Jingjing stared at Sikong Jing and replied, “I’ve checked your wife’s meridians more than once.

In Long Night Imperial City, I’m afraid there’s only one person who might be able to heal her.”

Sikong Jing showed a look of shock and confusion.

Was there really only one person in Long Night Imperial City who could heal Yue Xi?

He had originally thought that as long as he reached the Innate Realm, he could take care of it.

He had no doubt about Ning Jingjing’s words, because Su Zhenglong and Su Yue Immortal both had terrifying talents, so Ning Jingjing paid attention to Su Yuexi and had indeed checked several times.

“Yes, your wife’s meridians and Dantian are incredibly resilient.

I don’t even know how they can be so tough.”

“Perhaps, as you said, she really might have a War Body.”

Ning Jingjing said with a bitter smile.

At first, she had even ridiculed Sikong Jing, saying he was all talk and no action, but Su Yuexi’s meridians had been a revelation.

She could not even comprehend how such resilient meridians ended up damaged the way they were now.

In the time she had interacted with Sikong Jing, Ning Jingjing felt like she was frequently slapped in the face, and without any way to retaliate.

In the end, Ning Jingjing added, “And the person who can heal your wife is within the Xingluo Academy of the Three Great Academies.”

A gleam flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes: “Xingluo Academy?”

Ning Jingjing nodded and then continued to explain to Sikong Jing…

“I told you before about the Seven Sects and Five Sects in the East Plain Northern Land, in fact, there are also Three Academies.”

“That is, the Seven Sects, Five Sects, Three Academies.”

“Large empires like the Long Night Empire will have branch academies established by the Three Great Academies, to be precise, the Xingluo Academy in Long Night Imperial City should be called the Long Night Star Palace, while the other two are the Holy Dragon Academy and the Heavenly Dao Academy.”

“The Heavenly Dao Academy among them does not operate within the Long Night Imperial City, but is located on the Heavenly Dao Mountain to the north of the Long Night Empire.”

Sikong Jing’s eyes sparkled with divine light, and the names of the Three Great Academies seemed grand, instilling a sense of aspiration.

“The Three Great Academies are the dream of countless young people.”

“Whenever recruitment season arrives, a multitude of talents from within the Long Night Empire flood into the Imperial City, and among them, the Xingluo Academy is the only one that has not only a Martial Arts Institute but also an Alchemy Institute.”

“The person I mentioned who can cure your wife is the head of the Alchemy Institute of the Long Night Star Palace… Yao Changgeng.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing deeply engraved the name in his memory.

“But to ask Yao Changgeng to treat someone, the cost is simply too great, and with your current situation, it’s absolutely impossible through normal channels.”

“However, there is a second way.”

“In three days, it will be the Xingluo Palace’s recruitment season, and I have an invitation letter here that allows you to skip the tests for Martial Root, Martial Vein, and martial arts wisdom, and directly participate in the final Martial Combat Test.”

As Ning Jingjing said this, she took out a recommendation letter filled with starlight and handed it to Sikong Jing.

Instantly, Sikong Jing was startled and asked, “General Ning, this must be extremely valuable, right?”

Being able to skip the preliminary martial tests and participate in the Martial Combat Test…

Since the Three Great Academies are so impressive, the recommendation letter must not be something ordinary people can obtain, and yet Ning Jingjing was actually giving it to him.

Shaking her head, Ning Jingjing replied, “This is what I owe you.

If I had dealt with Yan Ruyu earlier, there would have been no trouble now, and since it’s of no use to me, you don’t have to be courteous…”

In fact, giving Sikong Jing the recommendation letter had been on her mind for a while, and treating Su Yuexi was just a coincidental matter.

“Also, you have a Spirit Martial Root, so even with the recommendation letter, you must fight.”

“You have to fight to the top ranks, fight to the extent that the Long Night Star Palace must take notice of you, fight to the point where they want to reconstruct your Martial Root, fight until Yao Changgeng wants to cure your wife.”

“Every year, the top three new students can make a request to the Palace Master of the Long Night Star Palace.”

“This is also your best chance to restore your Martial Root, so don’t slack off.”

After speaking, Ning Jingjing gazed deeply at Sikong Jing,

She then informed Sikong Jing that Elder Wei would take him to the Long Night Star Palace in three days, and after that, she waved her hand and left.

Clutching the weighty recommendation letter, Sikong Jing thought he owed Ning Jingjing another favor.

“Long Night Black Burning Army’s 99th Legion, I, Sikong Jing, will definitely repay this debt.” Sikong Jing took a deep breath, silently promised, and then returned to the residence that Su Zhenglong had just chosen for him.

He did not exchange any more courtesies with Ning Jingjing because healing Yue Xi was the top priority.

But a favor owed was certainly to be repaid.

In the distance, Elder Wei approached Ning Jingjing and asked softly, “Miss, the recommendation letter for the Xingluo Palace was fought for through countless battles from the Ning Family, are you really okay with just giving it to Sikong Jing like this?”

Ning Jingjing’s gaze was distant as she said, “This recommendation letter was originally intended to send the greatest talent from the 99th Legion to study at the Long Night Star Palace, but do you think there’s someone suitable now?”

“Aside from Sikong Jing, not a single one.”

“And I always have this feeling that he will definitely bring me a surprise, I am determined to prove that I, Ning Jingjing, can carve out my own place in the Long Night Empire even without the Ning Family.”

Because they drew the Canglong Small Domain there truly were no decent talents.

This recommendation letter, which was hardly earned, found itself with no proper use…

Of course, it could wait until next year, but Ning Jingjing wanted to give it to Sikong Jing now, feeling a strong premonition.

The future of Sikong Jing would not be confined by a Spirit Martial Root.
