"Eldest Senior Brother, actually my talent is still quite a bit worse compared to Junior Brother Han Li. It's about the same as yours, Elder Brother. There's no need for you to look at me like this!" Edward hurriedly explained as he saw Eldest Senior Brother's greenish eyes.
"..." The eldest senior brother turned around and left without a word.
"Eldest Senior Brother, where are you going?" Edward asked.
"I'm going to seclude myself and study. If I don't master the Justice Magic Sutra by studying hard, I'll keep reading until I do!" The determined voice of the eldest senior brother drifted far away.
"Finished. Eldest Senior Brother was stimulated!"
Helplessly, Edward could only use the Riding the Clouds and Fog technique to fly towards the Haoran Academy. With a thought in his heart, the magic stones in his hand slowly disappeared.
Simplification of the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!
"Three thousand recitations of the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. It seems I have plenty of time to study this month!" Edward sighed and thought.
After Edward returned, except for necessary matters, the things related to teaching the students were all stopped. He concentrated fully on studying.
The ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra was neither more nor less. Edward recited it two hundred times a day and spent half a month reciting it three thousand times.
"Whew! The ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. Wait until this month to get the magic stones given by the master and then go to receive the cultivation method for the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!"
After saying that, Edward started to manage the academy conscientiously. The job that paid two thousand magic stones a month, he also felt that it couldn't keep up with his needs.
After all, it requires fifteen thousand magic stones to break through from the eighth layer to the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. The breakthrough from the ninth layer to the tenth layer is a transformation, let alone, it surely requires even more magic stones.
Just two thousand magic stones. It's likely that it won't be long before that guy Han Li catches up.
To be caught up by a native with superb talent, Edward felt that he couldn't afford to lose this face.
Time passed slowly. It was the day to receive magic stones this month. Edward arrived at Ku Zhu Peak, looked at the rustling bamboo forest and walked in.
"Eldest Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother!" Edward shouted loudly.
"I'm coming! It's only the first day of the month and you're here!" Eldest Senior Brother Tang Qing held a scroll of book in his hand and looked at Edward somewhat helplessly and said.
"No way! Eldest Senior Brother, I'm really short of magic stones! How about Eldest Senior Brother lending me a hundred thousand or eighty thousand?" Edward said with a smile.
"Cough cough. Do you think Eldest Senior Brother has that many magic stones!" Eldest Senior Brother rolled his eyes and directly shook his head to refuse.
"Even thirty to fifty thousand magic stones, I wouldn't refuse!" Edward said with a smile.
"Fifth Junior Brother, the door is over there!" The eldest senior brother pointed outside the door, and the Justice Magic Qi on his body erupted. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
"Hehe, Eldest Senior Brother is quite stingy!" Edward shook his head with a smile.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Edward turned and left. The eldest senior brother thought for a moment, opened the Justice Magic Eye, and suddenly froze.
"The ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra! What kind of monstrous disciple did Master find! It's over! If the fourth junior brother doesn't break through soon, he'll be surpassed."
Eldest Senior Brother Tang Qing had a look of utter hopelessness. Seeing the junior brothers and sisters below improving bit by bit while he was still standing still, he felt a strong sense of crisis. Especially with his weak talent, his comprehension of the Justice Magic Sutra was as slow as a snail.
Edward didn't know that Eldest Senior Brother was secretly observing him. He simply asked for directions along the way and found the location of the Sutra Repository.
"May I ask which elder's direct disciple is this?" The steward sitting and guarding the Sutra Repository looked at the direct disciple token that Edward took out and asked.
"It's the direct disciple of Elder Wang!" Edward explained.
"Oh! You want to get the cultivation methods above the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra, right? Since you are a direct disciple of an elder, if you want to see the subsequent cultivation methods, just go to the innermost room on the second floor. There are many cultivation methods there, and you can only take one." The steward nodded and said casually.
Holding the token, Edward walked in without any hindrance. He could look around freely on both the first and second floors. Even the three basic spells he bought with magic stones before were here, and Edward with the elder's token could learn them for free.
However, Edward was too lazy to learn a bunch of methods for using the Justice Magic Qi. He casually looked at several books and found that their power was limited. When he went to the second floor, there were more spells with greater power, as well as some secret skills and cheats for the outbreak of the Justice Magic Qi, etc.
Edward casually browsed through them for a while before walking into the innermost room contentedly. He opened the door and saw stacks of books inside, all of which were cheats describing the tenth to the nineteenth layers of the Justice Magic Sutra.
Edward casually picked up a cheat and swaggered away. Just as Edward came downstairs and registered with the steward, his expression collapsed.
"The tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra actually requires a hundred thousand magic stones! Why not just rob? Even if the master gives me ten thousand magic stones every month, it will still take ten months to break through!"
Edward had an idea in his heart to go back and quit the job at the academy. Two thousand magic stones a month was really too little and he didn't really care about it anymore.
As soon as Edward went out, he used the Riding the Clouds and Fog technique and flew towards the Justice Magic Academy.
When Edward returned to the academy, he explained his intentions to the three senior brothers. Although they were regretful, they still agreed.
Elder Gu found Edward and said, "Are you not going to work at the academy anymore?"
"Well, not exactly. It's just that I'm preparing to do something else now and have no time to help the three senior brothers. Don't worry, I'm still in charge of Academy No. 27 on the 27th!" Edward said with a smile.
"That's fine. By the way, how is your cultivation progress? Han Li has reached the peak of the eighth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. I'm afraid he will be able to break through to the ninth layer in a month or two!" Elder Gu nodded and asked.
"Don't worry!" Edward had no intention of hiding either. In the Justice Magic Sect, there were no insidious and vicious villains. Here, everyone was open and aboveboard, upright and just. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate the Justice Magic Sutra to a profound level.
"The ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!" Edward shouted out the full name of the Justice Magic Sutra, quite imposingly. The Justice Magic Qi on his body was vast and mighty. Elder Gu was immediately jealous to the point of having green eyes.
"The ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!" Elder Gu felt a bit bitter in his mouth. All his years of cultivation seemed to have gone to waste. Han Li was fine. Everyone saw his efforts.
Edward was really fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days. Even so, he still broke through to the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra, and his cultivation speed was even faster than Han Li's!
"Manager Edward, if you could be a little more diligent, I'm afraid you would have broken through to the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra today!" Elder Gu looked at Edward and sighed.
"Elder Gu, this Justice Magic Sutra values comprehension the most. As long as one can comprehend its meaning, it's not necessary to study deliberately every day. Sometimes when the feeling comes, studying can instead yield twice the result with half the effort!" Edward smiled and found an excuse.
"Feeling... Comprehension? Thank you, Manager Edward, for your advice. So that's it! So that's it! Maybe I can also give it a try!" Elder Gu had no possibility of breaking through anyway, so he simply tried Edward's idea.
Edward watched Elder Gu leave and was speechless in his heart. It was over. Elder Gu was misled by him. Hopefully, his cultivation level wouldn't regress because of his misleading.
"Elder Gu, take care!" Edward turned and returned to his dormitory. He had to plan whether to go on missions to earn magic stones next or just stay in the academy and wait for ten months to break through to the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra.
