Chapter 16 Ch 16: Floating Cloud Academy
Alex looked at this man and his attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Rodion Volkov.
Cultivation Realm: Level 5 of Golden Core Realm.
Talent: Top Grade Cultivation Talent.
Unique Talent: Top Grade Super Strength Talent, Low Grade Gold Attribute Talent.
Martial Skill: Gold Essence Technique, Gold Slashing Blade Technique, Phantom Steps, Mountain Collapsing Fist...
Other Treasures: 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones, Three Golden Pills.]
Looking at the treasures in front of him, Alex's eyes shone with bright light.
He had previously wanted to duplicate the deacon elder's treasures but the distance between the two of them was simply too far. Now that Rodion Volkov was within ten meters of distance, Alex started duplicating the treasures from him.
[Consumed 1,000 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Top Grade Cultivation Talent.]
[Consumed 200 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Low Grade Gold Attribute Talent.]
[Consumed 1,000 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones.]
[Consumed 10,000 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Phantom Steps.]
[Consumed 10,000 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Mountain Collapsing Fist.]
In the blink of an eye, Alex duplicated all the treasures that caught his eyes. He didn't duplicate too many martial skills. It's because he could duplicate many martial skills from other people after entering the Floating Cloud Academy.
Alex also didn't choose to duplicate the Golden Pill. It's because he doesn't have any need for this pill for the time being. If he were to duplicate the Golden Pill now, he'll only waste the energy points for nothing.
After duplicating the treasures from Rodion Volkov, Alex immediately chose to fuse with them.
"Let's go."
It was at this moment when Rodion Volkov waved his hand and led them towards the Black Feathered Eagle.
Asna did not come and Rodion Volkov did not say anything. Obviously, he already knew what had happened.
Although the others were puzzled, seeing that Rodion Volkov did not mention this matter, they could only shut their mouths.
The Black Feathered Eagle slightly tilted downwards and Rodion Volkov brought the nine people and walked onto the back of the Black Feathered Eagle.
"Blacky, let's go back now."
Rodion Volkov patted the Black Feathered Eagle's back. Instantly, the Black Feathered Eagle flew up.
Under the gazes of everyone present, they left Jade City and soon disappeared. Everyone sighed in their hearts and left.
The Black Feathered Eagle's wings were more than twenty meters long.
Rodion Volkov, Alex, and the others sat cross-legged on its back. Its back was quite spacious. They seemed to know that Alex was in a bad mood because of Asna's departure. Even Rodion Volkov did not disturb him.
This time, Asna's departure made Alex deeply feel his own lack of strength. Alex's thirst for strength had also reached its limit.
Alex's current talent was not low and these treasures that he has duplicated were just icing on the cake. They wouldn't affect him much. If Alex wants to increase his cultivation speed, he needs to increase his cultivation talent even further.
Time slowly passed.
The Black Feathered Eagle turned into a black afterimage as it shuttled through the sky.
Two hours later, everyone finally arrived at their destination, the Floating Cloud Academy.
When they looked down, their hearts were filled with shock. They saw an endless number of palaces on the mountain range. Each palace was more than ten times more luxurious than their family in Jade City.
Around these palaces were clouds and mist and people were moving around. It was as if they had arrived at the legendary fairyland.
Rodion Volkov controlled the Black Feathered Eagle to fly into it and then they stopped in an incomparably wide square.
Only now did Alex and the other eight people come back to their senses. They had also followed the Black Feathered Eagle down.
"All of you follow me."
Rodion Volkov led the group towards a large hall not far away. He also explained along the way: "Don't think that you can enter the Floating Cloud Academy just because you have obtained the qualification. You still need to go through the innate talent test. Of course, everyone's innate talent is a secret. I won't investigate further. I will only roughly test the grade of your innate talent. After that, I will awaken your attribute talent along the way.
"If your talent doesn't meet the requirements or if you don't have the attribute talent, you can only go back to your families."
When everyone heard this, they were originally full of curiosity and looked around. But now, their expressions changed and they lost their mood. Their expressions also became nervous.
Only Alex still had a cold expression on his face. Among the nine of them, Alex had the highest talent. If he failed, the others would have even less hope.
Of course, Alex didn't need to worry.
At this moment, Alex was using his eyes to scan the surrounding people. He wanted to see if there was a suitable target that could be duplicated. Unfortunately, most of the people here seemed to be the disciples who came today. None of their attribute panel could compare to Alex.
Very quickly, Rodion Volkov brought everyone into the main hall. Rodion Volkov arranged for Alex and the other eight people to line up at the very back and wait. Then he stood at the side of the main hall and watched.
There were a few other deacons at the side of the main hall who was usually in charge of recruitment matters like Rodion Volkov.
"Rodion Volkov, you have also come? Did you find a genius?"
At this moment, a middle-aged deacon looked at Rodion Volkov and asked with a smile.
"Brady, aren't you asking for nothing? Jade City is just a small city, what kind of genius can it produce?"
Another grey-clothed middle-aged man said with a sneer.
"I really found a genius this time."
Rodion Volkov chuckled and said indifferently. After that, Rodion Volkov didn't say anything else.
"Is that so? Then I'll take a good look at it."
The old man called Brady smiled and looked at Alex and the other eight people. The middle-aged man in grey also snorted coldly and turned his gaze over.
Although Rodion Volkov's strength was average among the deacons, his eyes were sharp. Someone who could be regarded as a genius by Rodion Volkov should be very outstanding.
This genius also made the two of them curious. The other deacons were also curious.
Alex didn't know that because of Rodion Volkov's words, the deacons had all turned to look at him. At this moment, Alex was looking around the hall. The hall was very spacious and there weren't many decorations inside.
There were three tables in front of him and two tables on the left had crystal balls placed on them. Behind each table sat a person. They wore the same clothes as Rodion Volkov.
They should be the deacons in charge of testing the Talent level and awakening the attribute talent.
There were many things in the hall that was worth duplicating. For example, these three deacons and some new disciples who were undergoing the test.
