I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 508: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_2

Zong Zi nodded slightly, having accurately guessed the truth.

“Guess who is the cause of these two injuries of mine?”

Sitting on a wooden chair, Ding Chundzhi twirled a pen in his hand and posed a question to Zong Zi.

“I saw that both were sword wounds when I treated them earlier. One should be from Senior Sister Pei Cui of the Mountain Sea Academy, but I cannot guess who gave the other wound.”

Zong Zi, as the chief disciple of the Sentence Mang Dao Academy this year, was clear about the capabilities of the genius from Astral Observation Academy in front of him. He knew that only a few other individuals could injure Ding Chundzhi with the backlash power.

Lan Haitian didn’t come, so the only ones left were Pei Qingshuang and Yan Qiongzhi. But Yan Qiongzhi was not skilled in the Sword Dao.

“It’s this year’s Chief disciple from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.”

Ding Chundzhi named a person that shocked Zong Zi.

Of course, he knew about Chen Mobai, but it was precisely because he knew about him that he was more surprised.

“Has he already reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage!?”

“No, but a mysterious power capable of severing the Observing Stars Technique is hidden within his Divine Sense. I was careless and was injured by him.”

Ding Chundzhi, while speaking, raised his pen, pondered for a moment, and then slowly wrote Chen Mobai’s name down after a long time.

“Take it, this is what I promised you.”

He handed the white piece of paper full of rankings to Zong Zi. The latter showed a surprised look, shook his head, and did not take it.

“Aren’t there still some people who haven’t come ashore? Shouldn’t Senior Brother Ding wait until he sees them before confirming the rankings?”

“Only Tao Mingqing and the three people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy are left. Even though they are at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, their combat strength won’t exceed my expectations. I can determine their ranks even without watching them. Moreover, the most important thing is that I can’t use the Observing Stars Technique anymore.”

As Ding Chundzhi spoke, he pointed to his well-bandaged right eye.

If he observes someone’s fate under such an injury, he might lose his life’s Elemental Energy. As precious as the Dalit Flower is, it’s not worth him going to those lengths.

“In that case, Senior Brother Ding, please rest well.”

Zong Zi, upon hearing this, no longer hesitated and took the paper filled with names from Ding Chundzhi.

After getting his hands on it and taking a glance, he immediately froze on the spot.

“Senior Brother Ding, do you think this list of rankings needs to be reconsidered?”

Setting down the piece of paper in his hand, Zong Zi frowned and spoke.

“I understand what you mean, but I choose to trust the rules that have been passed down in our profession since ancient times.”

“Using the Observing Stars Technique, I’ve looked at everyone who made it ashore, and only the backlash power from Pei Qingshuang and Chen Mobai cannot be resolved.”

“Pei Qingshuang gave me pain, Chen Mobai made me bleed.”

“So, putting them both at the top seems only fair.”

After expressing his reasons, Ding Chundzhi sat back down in his wooden chair, a smile on his face as he gently placed his pen on the table.

“I see. Thank you for your hard work.”

Zong Zi met Ding Chundzhi’s remaining eye, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently. After another polite salute, he rolled up the piece of paper, tucked it into his sleeve, picked up his medicine box, and left.

“We should also go.”

After watching Zong Zi leave, Ding Chundzhi crumbled the remote control in his hand and rose to his feet, addressing the girl in sunglasses.

After taking a moment to watch his retreating figure, the girl in the sunglasses also hopped off the window sill and followed him out of the wooden house.

…

“Strange.”

Chen Mobai, who had just left the Elixir Refining Room, was puzzled and massaged his temples.

Just now, his Divine Sense had suddenly formed a Divine Slash on its own, aiming at a certain spot in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

However, it lasted only an instant. He regained control over all his Divine Sense quickly, so quickly that it felt like an illusion.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t convenient to meditate here, so Chen Mobai suppressed his doubts and made plans to inspect his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion more carefully when he returned to his own home on Small Leaf Island.

Chirp Chirp!

Just as Chen Mobai was leaving, loud bird chirping suddenly rang in his ears. He looked up to see a grey-green bird perched lazily on the branch of a tree nearby, languidly spreading its wings.

What a lovely day!

As the sun just rose above the Azure Waves Lake in the distance, Chen Mobai stretched lazily in the intoxicated morning light and headed towards the port.

However, he missed the black snake coiled in the shadow under the green tree.

After Chen Mobai left, the bright-eyed gray bird chirped at the small black snake hiding in the shadows.

The initially restless black snake reluctantly quieted down.

Chen Mobai, returning to his Small Leaf Island, ran into Bian Jingchun and the others who were planning to go to Wood God Island.

“President, is Wood God Island fun?”

Everyone thought that Chen Mobai must have had a blast on the island as he was there for three days.

“I hadn’t had the time, Qing Nu kept me busy for three whole days, I didn’t even get outside.”

Chen Mobai yawned, waved, and walked into his room.

Seeing this, the team leader, Song Yuexin, was taken aback.

After leaving the island with the Dance Tool members, she secretly told Zhuang Jialan about Qing Nu coming to pick up Chen Mobai at the shore that day.

“I heard a rumour that our president was dating the Heavenly Spiritual Root of your Daoist Academy in high school. But because the president and the class flower had an on-and-off relationship, they had to part ways to think about what they truly wanted. It seems that the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Daoist Academy still holds the charm.”

While on their way to Wood God Island, Zhuang Jialan and Song Yuexin chatted non-stop at the forefront of the ship. Unable to resist, Bian Jingchun joined their discussion.

As the conversation went on, they began to criticize Chen Mobai’s behaviour.

The faces of Sun Daoji and the others behind them were weird, with envy clearly visible in the eyes of some of the Daoist Academy students who hadn’t graduated yet.

After landing, the three women went to visit the Dan Medicine Street of the Jumang Daoist Academy hand in hand. However, after visiting only two shops, they discovered a list that was being circulated all over the streets.

[The most authoritative off-site sparring ranking of the Daoist Academy!]

[Jumang Daoist Academy invited a heavenly genius for life examination to compile the official expectation list.]

[This list is named the Foundation list, signifying the deep foundation and strong combat power, and the most probable of reaching Core Formation within the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

Just seeing these three headlines attracted everyone’s attention, and Bian Jingchun immediately bought a copy from a student wearing a Jumang Daoist Academy shirt.

Then, she immediately saw her ranking.

Exactly at tenth place.

Ranked last amongst all in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

For a moment, Bian Jingchun felt a little angry.

She felt that she could at least advance two places, and if the power of the True Dragon Ding is considered, making it to the top six wouldn’t be impossible.

Ranked above her were Chi Shicheng and Sun Daoji. However, they were both at the Perfect stage of ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Given Ding Chundzhi had not predicted, and based on previous intel, the ranking was not unreasonable.

“Pei Qingshuang from Shanhai Daoist Academy is only ranked second!”

“Xiahou Weihuan is third, Qi Huanzhi fourth, Tao Mingqing fifth, and Lou Fengcheng sixth.”

“The first place is actually him!?”

“The top six include three from the Daoist Academy and three from the Daoist Academy Schools. As of today, there’s not much difference between the Daoist Academy and the Schools. However, I personally think the first place on this list is debatable.”

“What’s there to debate? This is unfair…”

The Foundation List started printing since the morning, and it only took half a day to spread throughout the entire Jumang Daoist Academy. Virtually everyone visiting the academy had a copy.

The first place had been a point of strong doubt for everyone.

Bian Jingchun moved her gaze upwards to see who could be in first place, even overshadowing Pei Qingshuang.

At that moment, she felt her right hand tighten. Turning to look, she saw Zhuang Jialan gripping her hand tightly. The other one was shaking as she pointed at the name in the first place.

Not just her, even Song Yuexin was standing dumbstruck in surprise.

“Could it be Yan Qiongzhi, the number one female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage?”

With this thought in mind, Bian Jingchun finally saw the first place.

[Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai!]
