He turned to face the source of the noise and saw two men, and one of them had a stern expression. He was the one who had asked the question.
Standing before them, he felt a strong sense of oppression emanating from them.
"You are?" He asked wearily.
"I'm one of the instructors of the Innate Class. You haven't answered my question though?" Instructor Song was clearly not easy to mess with.
It was clear from his tone of speech. The moment he appeared, Meng Chao had even failed to take notice of the man beside him.
It was as though his presence had been completely obscured.
"I just joined the Xiantian Class! Student Meng Chao has met instructor Song!" Meng Chao introduced himself quick.
"Meng! How are you related to that little girl Meng Shui?" Instructor Song asked another question again.
"instructor Song knows my older sister?" This time it was indeed Meng Chao's turn to be shocked.
"Hehe! You asked if he knew your elder sister? Boy! You are asking wrong questions. In the entire Xiantian Division, who doesn't know Meng Shui. Look over there!" Instructor Li Tao standing next to Instructor Song Li found Meng Chao's question hilarious.
When Meng Chao followed instructor Li Yao's finger, he saw something he had overlooked all this time.
A massive leaderboard was hanging in the sky.
"When did it appear there?" This was his first question, until he saw clearly what was written at the very top.
2nd rank: Meng Shui (Third year)- 6th Heaven Xiantian realm.
He was indeed shocked at the information! His sister was only at the third Heaven of Xiantian realm. What was with the information on the leaderboard.
"What is this leaderboard? The information on it isn't right! My elder sister should only be at the third Xiantian realm." He exclaimed in shock.
The information didn't make sense, and even more so, someone at the Sixth Heaven Xiantian was only ranked second on the leaderboard.
Looking up, his eyes shrank.
1st Rank: Xu Jing(second year)-Eight Heaven Xiantian realm.
"That?" When he saw the top of the list, his eyes shrank.
This was clearly a joke, a second year as the eighth Heaven of Xiantian realm was scary.
Other than comprehension ability being top notch, resources ought to be abundant.
He couldn't even stand steadily.
"Is this even human?" He had a strange expression and instructor Li Yao seemed particularly pleased with his reaction.
Even the strict instructor Song Li could understand Meng Chao's feelings at the moment.
He was only at the peak of seventh heaven of Xiantian, despite having spent most of life and the edge of life and death.
"Well! It's good to see the difference between yourself and others clearly. After you enter the Xiantian class though, resources present should be able to help speed up your practice compared to before." The stern voice from Instructor Song sounded.
"Indeed! The best thing is just to do your best and not compare yourself with others." Instructor Li Yao gave his own opinion.
It was just that looking at Meng Chao's expression they could see that he had a different opinion.
"What! You kid seem to have a disagreement with what I have said." Instructor Li Yao urged him to spill what he was thinking.
"I just think the basis of human advancement has always been pressure. Pressure itself comes from realizing others are better than you, accepting this reality and doing something about it. Just like my dad always says, 'If I don't learn to appreciate the effort of others, I'll be out of business soon.'."
The moment they heard this words, both had different expressions, but clearly each showed a slight enlightenment.
"You are indeed right! Without comparison, it is difficult to see your limitations and do something about it. But you forget that always dwelling on your limitations makes you underestime your merits." Instructor Song's words indeed gave Meng Chao something to think about.
Deep down he was very touched as this words gave him another perspective on things.
He exhaled as he felt his body relax slightly. He then bowed to the two teachers as if showing appreciation for the guidance.
"Let's not talk about this! So what is your cultivation focus?" When still in a daze instructor Li finally couldn't help but ask.
"Huh! What do you mean by focus?" He found this question strange.
"Well! What he means is what path of weapon training are you going to focus on? When it comes to cultivation, we can offer some guidance, but it based on some basic knowledge that you ought to know. The main thing we focus on in the Xiantian class is combat skills and techniques." Instructor Song explained.
When he heard this, Meng Chao seemed to grasp what he was implying.
The cultivation path, even for those with similar techniques is different as the talents each person possess vary. But combat techniques and weapon skills don't change.
Hearing this information was enough for him as it made his expression relax slightly.
He was also very impressed with how different things were from his imagination.
He didn't expect the two instructors he had encountered just by mistake to offer him guidance so patiently.
"Oh! I was told I could choose two free techniques, does this have anything to do with it?" He asked.
"The two techniques are indeed your choice and the ones you choose will determine the instructors you will study under." Instructor Song commented.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chao had this feeling a headache was coming up.
He had not idea what kind of skills or weapons he should study.
This choice wouldn't just be made casually, after all he was someone that focused on his physique.
The weapon he chooses should be able to maximize the advantages he held.
"Instructors! I'd like to ask, what weapons had the strongest lethality and required more physical strength?" He indeed was someone practical.
"Well! The spear should be the one." Instructor Li Yao answeres pationately, and Meng Chao turned his head to Instructor Song only to sse him nod.
"Spear! Interesting!" He was already determined to get a technique that be utilized by a spear.
"Boy! Are you interested in spear skills? If you are then I am the right mentor for you. Trust me, if you can grasp even a fraction of my spear skills, you should shake the Xiantian class." Suddenly instructor Li Yao seemed energized.
When Meng Chao saw his excited expression, he couldn't help but get suspicious.
But he could see the passion in his eyes when he talked about the spear, clearly he was dedicated.
As if sensing the disbelief on Meng Chao's face, Song Li spoke up, "Instructor Li indeed not lying about this. He even has attained the tittle spear deity."
When he saw the confusion on Meng Chao's face, Instructor Song clarified his words, "In the federation there are countless weapon skills, and numerous weapon users. Even so, there are only Nine recognized individuals with deity titles for the weapons they weild. You should know what this means right?"
"You mean even some of the twenty three cities didn't attain this tittle?" Meng Chao didn't believe it.
According to what he knew, the twenty three city lords were strong people in human race.
How come not all of them had attained deity tittle, but an instructor at the Xiantian realm had this title.
"Who told you that the city lords where the most powerful people in the world. That is far from the truth. And yes, only four of the twenty three city lords have deity titles for the weapon skills they had mastered." The reply from Instructor Song Li shocked him.
"Instructor Li has focused all his attention in the spear and even neglected his cultivation." Hearing Instructor Song's words, realization dawned on Meng Chao.
It was just right for such a person to really have obtained a tittle on the weapon skills he focused on then.
He didn't want to focus on the tittle of spear deity, but he had no choice.
It was just that Instructor Song changed the words, "it is indeed not bad to be ambitious. But I advise you to focus more on your realm as it is the foundation of your strength. Without sufficient enough foundation even if you can unleash stronger combat power, how long can it last."
Hearing this words, he nodded slightly, clearly grasping the meaning of this words.
It was just that he had not forgetten about the nine colored branch within his body.
It was clearly going to be the determinant of how fast his cultivation was as long as he had enough resources.
He seemed to realize the significance of Instructor Li during his stay at the Xiantian class.
The information he had just recieved was enough for him to digest for a while.
The two instructors also felt the same way.
It was just that Meng Chao's eyes inadvertently glanced at the massive leaderboard, unconcerned about how he couldn't see it before.
The information on it had a great impact on him. It also made him realize he had to work even harder without fear of his strength rising too fast.
His fists clenched, he took a step foward and followed to the two instructors foward.
His future at the Xiantian class was just about to begin.
