My Dual-Cultivation System

"Special conditions are extremely difficult. You need to have at least one of these requirements to get invited into the inner court instead of studying as an ordinary student.

An indigo or higher grade spirit, a special physique, a Bloodline power or break through to the king rank before age of 30 while studying at the academy.

Also, There are 9 titles for Rankers. That is Trainee (1~9), Warrior (10~19), Elite (20~29), Master (30~39), Lord (40~49), Overlord (50~59), King (60~69), Emperor (70~79), Saint (80~89), and Those above the 89 spirit energy ranks are known as Monarch Rankers." She described the important information in a composed tone.

Wuxia stories usually use 1 to 9 stages and then break through to the next one.

As a reader, I find it complicated. So I thought to go with the 'KISS' principle and use 1 to 100 for spirit energy ranks as we have in MMO-RPG Games.

"I can not reveal my Supreme Yang body to the academy. It's too risky and my Bloodline power, which is etched into my soul, is dormant in my new body." He thought inwardly as he knew many geniuses have fallen at their young ages because of people's envy.

After thinking carefully, he mumbled the only option he had left, "indigo spirit." f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Meng Long remembered he could boost his spirit tier and also Awaken a new one from the system so he murmured but it was heard by Xue Rou which she misunderstood.

"Ah...Sorry, I forgot to explain these terms. A spirit is a special power we are born with but it only awakens when we cultivate our spirit energy to rank 10 and become Warrior Ranker.

There is another way to contract a spirit but for that, you need to pass God's trial or receive the inheritance left behind by Immortal rankers who haven't been found by anybody for many centuries.

These spirits have two types, Weapon and Beast. They are categorized by nine grades or tiers such as Black, Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and Silver where Black is the weakest and Silver is the strongest." Xue Rou clarified about the special powers people of this world used.

'They probably don't know about the Golden Tier Spirits. I guess nobody was able to evolve their spirit after I left this world.'

Seeing a cold demeanor on his face she continued with a smile, "Do you know Meng Long, Thousands of years ago, Goddess Cang Xue ascended to Godhood after her childhood lover sacrificed himself for her God's Trial."

A look of admiration was flickering in her eyes as she reminisced the love story of Cang Xue.

"Why are you mentioning that 'Goddess' out of nowhere?" Meng Long felt bitter remembering that event but he mumbled inwardly, "But it has been only decades since I left this world.

Cang Xue took us to a very ahead timeline of this world. Probably XiéLóng Temple raises at this point in time."

The flow of time was different for a mortal and a divine being and they could easily control time and space. So he was surprised to find out that it had been Thousands of years.

Hearing his question, Xue Rou couldn't understand the real intention behind his words so she responded to his queries innocently.

"Because she is one of the few people who possessed the legendary Silver grade Spirit.

Having an indigo-grade spirit gives you a direct spot in the inner court while there isn't a single person with silver-grade spirit at the TianHai academy," She told him how uncommon it was to have these high-tier spirits.

"Then you must have a very high position at the academy since you have Violet grade Spirit." He said in a nonchalant voice as the boy knew that even in his time, masters of a violet grade spirit were always famous powerhouses if they didn't die an early death like many geniuses.

Meng Long remembered from his predecessor's memory that Xue Rou had received an invitation from Tiānhǎi academy when she awakened a Violet Grade Spirit at the age of twelve.

"Nah. I'm just an inner court member who has graduated from the academy." She looked bashful while saying it.

'I would know where I stand if I raise my spirit energy to 10 to awaken my predecessor's spirit. I can also awaken a new one or upgrade them using the system. For that, I need to farm coins and go to the instance in order to finish the given tasks.'

Meng long remembered his quest as Xue Rou mentioned spirit energy ranks.

"I need to go to a battle instance, can you accompany me there?" Meng Long requested without any shame to the girl he was leaving a while ago and thought inwardly, "'She actually swore to not betray me so I can bring her with me.'"

"When do you wanna go?" She asked with questioning eyes.

"Now? Are you ready?" He said hurriedly.

It was better to finish this quest as soon as possible. What if it disappeared or failed?

"Yes, but how are we going to a battle instance from here in the middle of the street?" She was truly puzzled by his words.

Meng long looked around them, he saw

people were busy with their own businesses and they were quite far away from him as the duo had almost reached the city gate.

He opened the system menu and scrolled to the quest he wanted to do.

A message popped up in front of his eyes.

[Does the user want to be transported to the hidden instance now?]

"I want to bring her with me." He mumbled in his thoughts.

[Hold her hand as you will be transported to the hidden instance in 10 seconds.]

[9….8….7]

[6….5…..4]

He grabbed her cold hand as the countdown began.

She looked at him in puzzlement as he suddenly held her hand.

[2….1…..0]

But before she could ask anything, a space rift opened and sucked them inside.

He could feel that the rift had greater gravity that caused their body to be pulled inside.

They went through a dark tunnel before it threw them out from another opening.

His body fell to the ground but before he could relax he saw something white falling onto him.

A scent of lily flowers invaded his nostril and a soft fluffy sensation was pressed on his face.

His vision was blocked so he tried to use his hands to remove it from his body but a meek voice came that made him stop his movement.

"Don't tickle, Meng Long." Xue Rou said and sat on his waist as her face looked coyish.

It was the young maiden who fell on his body after coming out of the space rift.

[SnowNote]

Can anyone suggest a better term to use for Rankers? (I prefer English words for this one.)

+ Changed 'Unholy Temple' to 'XiéLóng Temple'.
