Chapter 347: Fourth Seat · Yuexin

The news of the fall of Sixth Spirit Town spread throughout Tomorrow City, linking the most important points.

The entire Tomorrow Society became busy with personnel movements.

In the Cultivator School,

Yang An placed both hands on the podium and said, “Students, the school has issued a new notice. The cultivation resources for all classes will be increased by thirty percent, and those who meet the requirements can apply to their teachers to leave the city. You will then be assigned to the six towns for various tasks as you enter the graduation phase.”

“I hope everyone acts within your ability and doesn’t attempt anything beyond your limits. The situation in each Spirit Town will be shared soon, and videos of past graduates in battle will also be shown over the next few days.”

According to Yang An, entering the various Spirit Towns could either be administrative roles for management and research or combat roles to protect the towns from demonic creatures and hunt them for resources.

Both paths previously required assessments, and entry was not casual.

However, after the attack on Sixth Spirit Town, resources became significantly more abundant, and the number of spots increased by seven to eight times. The opportunities multiplied.

Even though the 17th generation had only been enrolled for a year, many students were eager to try, including…

“I want to go! I want to go! I want to go!”

Yong Fa was extremely excited. Such a great opportunity could not be missed.

He was determined to be the first to enter the six towns!

Beside him, Yang Yu felt exhausted, covering her face, not wanting to see anyone, but she did not stop him.

“Don’t rush. There are many days left to sign up. Think it over carefully, and remember you need your parents’ consent to apply. Their opinions are crucial,” Yang An advised.

“Uh…”

Yong Fa slowly sat down. His guardian was too mysterious, and there was a chance he wouldn’t agree at all.

As Yang An began to play videos showcasing the scenes of each town, the children’s discussions began to increase.

For a period of time, the entire Cultivator School buzzed with talk of graduation.

The Three-Day Society was no different.

Everyone gathered together, working on their tasks while casually chatting.

“Xianzhang, where do you want to go next? Administrative role or combat role? With so many spots this time, we might really have a chance,” Tian Jialun asked.

“For me… combat role, and I want to go to the six towns. They were just attacked, and there are many issues to resolve. I will grow much faster there,” Wu Xianzhang replied.

“As expected, a combat role? Even though there are more spots for combat than in previous years, they are still much fewer than for administrative roles. We have only trained for a year, making it hard to compete with seniors,” Tian Jialun expressed his concern.

“I’ll do my best. I’m going to do special training next. Weiyang also said he would help me train my combat skills. Even if it doesn’t work out this time, I will still get much stronger, and I’ll work harder next time!” Wu Xianzhang said earnestly.

“Weiyang is going to help too? Speaking of which, Weiyang, are you also planning to apply for graduation?” Tian Jialun looked at Yun Ye.

“Of course. Staying in school is too slow for growth. You all should know about the merit system, right?” Yun Ye sat at the sand table, engaging in spiritual training.

“That’s the power that only the Dao Artifact wielders of the Tomorrow Society can access? It’s said that you can rapidly grow by hunting demonic creatures, which is the fundamental reason behind the scarcity of combat roles,” Tang Si pondered.

“Yes, every time a Spirit Town is conquered, the Dao Artifact wielders grow stronger, so the number of combat roles will also increase. This time, with the consecutive conquests of two major Spirit Towns, the spots will naturally increase significantly. However, to obtain access to the merit system, one must have a strong will to hunt demonic creatures. Those who prefer to avoid challenges will never be able to join the merit system,” Yang Yu added.

Tomorrow’s theories are also important, but the main focus remains on “hunting demonic creatures and protecting the people.”

Wu Cheng has gradually lost access to the merit system over the years, clearly indicating a fundamental change in his character.

Once lost, this change is almost irreversible.

Realizing he no longer belongs to the Tomorrow Society, the strong feelings of resistance and heavy pressure will only pull a person further away.

“Yes, I want to engage with the merit system as soon as possible. Some of my cultivation has become very difficult to continue,” Yun Ye said while propping up his face, his pupils slightly unfocused.

His consciousness was fully immersed in the “simulation game,” controlling numerous simulated avatars to battle each other. Without this, his training would become very ineffective.

After his reincarnation, he gradually discovered the effects of his various talents.

The random talent of Spirit Sense increased his precision, allowing him to control his Spirit Sense with remarkable ease.

Meanwhile, the random talent of comprehension was essentially multi-tasking, which has a precise name: “Seven Wisdom Heart.”

The “Seven Wisdom Heart” enables Yun Ye to divide his consciousness into seven parts, each maintaining full control and responsiveness, functioning perfectly. This was likely the result of Yun Ye consuming many spirit pills for comprehension in his previous life.

Now, he had fully awakened this talent and could skillfully operate all seven tasks at once.

Through this multi-tasking ability, Yun Ye reached the level of triple fusion of attributes quickly, but also hit a new bottleneck.

The foundational effect of the Seven Wisdom Heart theoretically could be broken through training to exceed the limit of seven wisdom, but it would take a very long time…

From now on, he would need to practice any method over a span of years; only the merit system could accelerate his stalled growth once again.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Is anyone there?”

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone stopped talking and exchanged curious glances. Who was that?

They all shook their heads.

Unfamiliar.

“Come in.”

Yun Ye spoke up.

The door immediately opened, and a young man with red and green patterns on his face and arms walked in. The pupils of the crowd involuntarily shrank…

This was a special external spirit pattern that simulated Spiritual Roots. Wasn’t this just a test item? Someone was actually using it?

“I am Nan Longfei, the right seat of the student council. Is Ming Waiyang here?” Nan Longfei asked.

“Yes, does the student council need me?” Yun Ye stood up and replied.

“The principal is looking for you. I’m here to guide you,” Nan Longfei said, examining Yun Ye for a moment before shaking his head.

“Principal Yuexin?” Yang Yu exclaimed in surprise.

“Hmm… you know the principal? Who are you?” Nan Longfei turned to Yang Yu.

“I’m Yang Yu. But that’s not important. What does the principal want with Ming Waiyang? We’re just students,” Yang Yu said a bit nervously.

“Yang Yu, I see. So, you are a blood relative of the founder. Don’t worry, this is a good thing. I’ve never seen the principal pay so much attention to a single student. I hope this one… is worthy of this attention. Let’s go. Don’t keep the principal waiting,” Nan Longfei said lightly.

He then scanned the members of the society and noticed that most of the members were quite extraordinary.

Yang Yu, as a distant relative of the founder, did not stand out among them.

After all, the founder’s family did not possess much power; they only had reputation, which was not enough to warrant special attention like in electoral politics.

“Relative of the founder???”

Wu Xianzhang, Tang Si, and even Yong Fa were all shocked, casting glances that said, “I can’t believe you never mentioned this in all this time.”

This was the first time they realized that Yang Yu’s background was so impressive.

The Tomorrow Society indeed did not emphasize bloodlines, but the title of founder carried too much weight; it was hard not to look at her with great admiration.

“It’s nothing, really doesn’t need to be mentioned…”

“Don’t look at me. Isn’t it strange that you didn’t know?!”

Yang Yu said, feeling both shy and frustrated.

She felt both happy and proud but worried that others might think she was showing off, and this mix of feelings made her want to escape.

“Xiaoyu will likely become someone as great as the founder; being a relative of the founder is something to look forward to. I’ll take my leave now!”

Yun Ye waved his hand and left with Nan Longfei.

“Xiaoyu, looks like you need to work harder. Ming Waiyang said you could become someone as great as the founder. I believe it; do you? Hahaha.”

Yong Fa teased.

“What? You think I can’t?! My dream is to become someone as great as the founder!”

Xiaoyu retorted angrily, raising her hand as if to hit him.

“I’ll dodge!”

“Hey, don’t start mischief!”

The group immediately broke into playful banter.

…

Nan Longfei led Yun Ye down the corridor and into the central area of the school.

The entire cultivator institute was a large section at the center, with the Teaching Building and various facilities built in a circular layout. Every year, the classrooms would change positions to match the students’ growth in abilities.

The central area of the school was rarely visited by students; most who came were extremely capable and qualified to study alongside formal scholars on research topics.

This area was officially named the Central Research Institute, serving as the academic core of Tomorrow City.

After passing through multiple checks, the two entered the central area and headed straight for a large training ground, which was empty except for some scattered facilities.

“We’re here. You can go in by yourself. Goodbye,”

Nan Longfei said, looking in one direction for a long time before reluctantly shifting his gaze away and disappearing from sight.

Yun Ye followed his gaze, and at the end of the training ground, he saw a towering tree with lush branches. Its leaves emanated a faint spiritual glow in the snow, causing the falling snowflakes to evaporate upon contact, blocking the cold air from inside and out.

Under the Wind Tree sat a peerless beauty, kneeling at a table, her silver hair spread out on the ground, shimmering like starlight, truly radiant.

Cultivators become increasingly perfect through their training, and those who already possess a perfect physique tend to develop an extraordinary charm.

Some cultivators even gain the talent for allure because of this.

The woman before him was already beautiful, enhanced by a certain Spirit Law that amplified her beauty, making her charm beyond ordinary understanding.

“Won’t you come over? Ming Waiyang.” The silver-haired woman looked up, revealing her stunning beauty. The only thing marring this perfection was her emotionless gaze and expression, creating an air of distant coldness that made her seem unapproachable.

Yuexin.

Yun Ye believed she could lead the Tomorrow Society for a long time.

In terms of cultivation and combat, Yuexin was not outstanding, but her Learning Ability, research ability, and personal character were all quite exceptional; she was a person worthy of great responsibility. Now, the cultivator institute was flourishing, proving that Yun Ye had truly seen the right person.

“Principal.”

Yun Ye entered and performed a greeting. Kneeling across from him, Yuexin was about the same height, allowing for eye contact as he observed her closely.

Her features were exquisite, with skin as white as jade and her silver eyes adding to her appeal; her aura was even more impressive…

If this were the modern day, Yun Ye might have called her “my wife,” for she was truly captivating.

But now, all Yun Ye felt was a sense of “patting her head in comfort.”

The second daughter had also grown up.

“Please sit.”

“You must be wondering why I called you.”

Yuexin waved her hand, and another cushion appeared in front of the table, displaying a segment of battle images. As Yun Ye knelt down, it began to play.

It showed the moment Yun Ye fused the three powers, a terrifying darkness flashing for a brief moment, spreading out as Spatial Cracks appeared.

“Did you see that?”

Yun Ye asked in surprise.

Yuexin nodded and continued, “Can you show it to me again?”

“I’m not very skilled at it.” Yun Ye extended his hand, and the Water and Fire Powers interwove, causing a sudden eruption of darkness, with many Spatial Cracks spreading.

In just a brief moment, Yun Ye retracted the fusion, and everything fell back into calmness.

“Indeed, it is a triple fusion of attributes, and…”

“It is the Transforming Dark Eternal Silence triple attributes.”

Yuexin stared at Yun Ye for a long time, and after a moment, she asked, “Where did you learn this skill?”

This ability incorporated Spirit Law Power on top of Eternal Silence.

From what she knew, only one person could use Eternal Silence.

Her master, “Dao.”

Various textbooks not only omitted mentioning dangerous moves like “Eternal Silence” but also repeatedly warned against merging attributes on one’s own.

“Why did you fuse the three powers on your own? This is a highly dangerous act, and I’m sure both your teachers and your parents have warned you about it.”

Yuexin added.

“I’ve fully grasped Silent Spiritual Law, so I wanted to understand other things. With Extreme Spiritual Law, I can easily fuse other Extreme Spirit Dual Attributes, so naturally, I wanted to challenge the triple attributes.”

“This move is among the most powerful in dual attributes and is the one I find easiest to fuse with Spirit Law. The others all have various drawbacks, making them hard to control or consuming too much energy or things I’m not very good at.”

Yun Ye explained.

“…You’re fortunate; perhaps because this place is shrouded in Nine Lives Spirit Law, and you are naturally endowed with Nine Lives Spirit Law, you’ve chosen the most suitable path.”

Yuexin remained indifferent, unable to show any emotion through her expressions.

However, Yun Ye’s Spirit Law was precise enough to sense a shift in her, as if she were reminiscing about something.

“Fortunate?”

Yun Ye didn’t immediately understand what she was reminiscing about and simply scratched his head, wearing a confused expression.

“Yes, so fortunate. I studied triple attributes for over a decade, coincidentally fusing the Water and Fire Powers with the Spirit Law, called ‘Transforming Dark Eternal Silence Spiritual Law.’

“What else could this be but luck?”

Yuexin lifted her gaze as the clouds cleared, allowing a beam of light to shine through the green leaves. It felt as though she had returned to her childhood.

The deepest memory she had after being born was studying under a giant tree, receiving education from her master, and continuously answering questions.

Her master often instilled in her a sense of lofty ideals, like studying for the rise of Tomorrow Society…

Though it had been a long time ago, she still cherished those memories.

During that time, her master regarded her as a successor, training her with great care, sharing many stories, and entrusting the future of Tomorrow Society to her.

Those were fulfilling and happy days.

She worked hard, wanting to repay her master’s expectations, and ultimately grew into her present self, taking over from Huo Yang as the Fourth Seat of Tomorrow Society.

From first to ninth seat, only nine people existed.

While the title of Fourth Seat may sound humble, it indeed carries heavy responsibilities and is also the highest honor in Tomorrow Society.

Reaching this position, even she felt an indescribable weariness, and the encouragement her master once gave her seemed to have dissipated…

At that moment, Ming Waiyang’s sudden appearance felt like an incredible stroke of luck, so fortunate that Yuexin suspected that Nine Lives Spirit Law had shifted her fate.
