Chapter 1059

(Unedited)



The enrolment for the new students of Ogden academy will start next month. Then another piece of news came out that the academy would be accepting any students under the age of 20, even though they are only at 1st Ki level.

The condition is that they should have a special talent in any of the seven main occupations. According to Gong Empire's classification, out of the many occupations that Ki practitioner could have, there are only seven main occupations, the rest would be secondary.

The first one is a combat master. A combat master is someone who is proficient in combat and would be able to use any weapons and be proficient in combat tactics and formations. They are the most powerful force in the Gong Empire.

The other main occupations are not classified by their strength, and so they are as follows..

Alchemy masters are one of the most sought-after professions. This is because they are able to refine medicine, concoct potions, and create alchemical products that are both useful and harmful to others. And because of this, alchemy masters are considered as one of the professions that earn more money.

Smiting masters can be considered as both a luxurious and yet laborious job. They would face the furnace almost every day of their lives as they create armors, weapons, and other stuff for the people. The occupation has its perks, and it mostly needed muscle and hard work to be able to be successful in this type of profession.

Runemasters are considered the weakest occupation in terms of physical fighting ability. This is because… one does not need to be very strong to become a successful runemaster. One only needs to be wise and knowledgeable in runes and Ki. And because of this, not many people can be runemaster. That's why those who are able to become runemasters are already considered scholars of the empire.

Beastmasters can be considered as one of the greatest ȧssets of the empire. With their ability to command strong and powerful beasts, they are second to the strongest fighting force. Though others would contest against this, a beastmaster would think so otherwise. However, being a Beast Master needs a lot of resources, as they not only need to cultivate but also their beast companion or companions.

The last would be the poison masters. They are not that popular when it comes to their identities and profession for many feared them. It is said that a poison master does not grow old. This is because they always die young, and only a lucky few could be lucky enough to grow old. However, poison masters would always work hand-in-hand with medical masters when it comes to combat. With their knowledge of poison, they are able to concoct antidotes to some of the most vicious diseases, and this made them really valuable to the empire.

There are other more occupations in the empire for Ki practitioners. However, these seven are the main ones.

Ogden academy is a preparatory academy for young children to be able to choose which occupation they truly belong to.

If one is already good at a particular occupation and yet their Ki level is low, they would always opt-out to be an apprentice to a master and would have a hard time improving due to lack of knowledge and available resources for them to grow.

However, because of this announcement, the eyes of many of the young men below 20 are now glowing with excitement.

They could not wait to enter Ogden academy and obtain the necessary knowledge for them to grow in their chosen expertise.



Meanwhile, in the dark forest away from the festive occasion in the town of Ogden, a figure is currently traveling through the treetops in a particular direction.

In the southern part of the forest, there is a small village fortress called Ogden Southern Gate village. This village was built around a large arc made of unknown stone material. It is unknown who made such a structure, but it is said that it was created thousands of years ago.

This particular structure is a gate used for people to travel to another place within the kingdom of Jimal. However, only those that are at the 10th level and above would be able to withstand the space and time turbulence of the gate.

At this time, Xin Ja is going to the city not to use the gate, but to look for materials.

From his experience, he had already known and in this place, is where he could find what he is looking for.

But before that, he needs to hunt some beasts first, find some precious herbs, or mine some ores to earn enough money to be able to buy what he needed.

And so, he began his journey to the southern part of Ogden town's territory.

When he told his father to take this journey, Xin Jong immediately did not agree. He knew that his son is still weak as he could tell that the Ki in his body is pretty lacking. How could he agree to such a request?

He would even shudder at the thought that his son has been sneaking outside for the past one year just to hunt beasts and practice in the forest at night. Although he could not believe it when he heard it first the evidence on what he saw inside his son's back is clear.

"Son… Are you really going to go out and travel? What if?…," He worriedly asked.

"Papa… Don't worry, okay? In fact… I… I already went to that place before." Xin Ja said with a sheepish smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Xin Jong turned into a shock.

"You… How brazen can you be? Don't you know the danger in the forest especially at night? You…" Xin Jong now felt helpless.

What could he say? His son has already done such a thing before, so all he could do is to heavily sigh.

"Papa, because of the Ki in my body… Many monsters are not interested in eating me… Hihi…" Xin Ja said with a grin.

Xin Jong could not help but hit Xin Ja's head lightly. His son was too brazen, he might be an introvert and fear people, but it seems that he does not fear the dangers in the outside world. Upon thinking up to this point, Xin Jong could not help but heave another heavy sigh.

"Alright, you just be careful… and make sure that you always take care of yourself. And son… Remember your fear of people? In the outside world, it would not be a bad thing after all…" Xing Jong said as he hugs Xin Ja who suddenly feel a bit awkward.

After that talk, Xin Jong permitted Xin Ja to travel secretly outside of the town. He even gave him a new nameplate, and on that nameplate, the name Xin Jiao is written.

But at this time it seems that there are not many traveling through the road, so he decided to follow the road. He landed on the ground and decided to take a walk.

At this time, Xin Jai is not carrying too many items in his bag. He only has his change of clothes, some dried food rations, and of course his weapon, needles, mask, and rune flags. So he is not carrying anything heavy hence he could easily travel through the forest.

While walking down the main road, Xin Ja's speed is actually not normal. In fact, his walking alone is already considered as the running speed of a normal person. The reason for this is because while walking, he is also practicing shadow steps at the same time.

And for him to be able to last, he is wearing an amulet that automatically absorbs the chaotic Ki in the air. And every now and then, the amulet would inject a small amount of chaotic Ki into his body.

This is the reason why he is able to last even until now after traveling for a while in the forest.

30 minutes later…

Xin Ja suddenly stops in his tracks.

This is because he noticed that ahead of him, there is actually a line of carriages that seemed to be not moving.

Feeling a bit alarmed, he quickly grabs his mask and donned it on.
