《Beast Cultivating System》Chapter 42 - Conceited Noble and Selecting Martial Skills
Advertisement
Inspecting the faces of the nobles approaching her, Dana instantly knew the reasoning behind them coming towards her.
Well, it is pretty obvious when they didn't even hide the admiring looks they were giving her, this was much to the annoyance of Dana of course which is currently treating the Elemental Sect as her personal 'vacation', such as one she would have on Earth after a bothersome year of work.
That's what it truly feels like anyways, after she had spent such a long time in the Azure Continent as a spirit beast, which constantly had to hunt and kill other beasts to survive in addition to improving her cultivation level without break, made Dana feel as if she truly hasn't had any breathing space the entire time she arrived within this world, and just when she was enjoying her 'leisure' time a bunch of noble brats come here to pester her?
'This is definitely unacceptable!', is currently what Dana is thinking...
Looking at the leading noble, it seems he is the ringleader of this gang, appearing before her with the usual confident expression he said, "Hey, I know that you and your master have only just arrived at the academy so you must be lacking some proper company, am I right? You know what, you should hang around with us, geniuses with similar talent level towards you. I'm guessing you should know who I am right? After all, I am the most talented person within the academy at the moment, also being the hope of the Elemental Sect in getting within the Top 100 of the Yearly Sect Gathering," He said proudly, thinking he must have 'impressed' Dana greatly by mentioning him getting within the Top 100 however he was soon to be disappointed as Dana looked like she seemed to have not heard a word of what he was saying.
Well, that is kinda true as Dana didn't really listen to any of his 'babbling' at all, instead, she was more focused on what she had planned on eating later rather than anything the noble was bragging about.
Seeing such a reaction from Dana caused the noble to grow angry, as he was born in a privileged family since birth he was already arrogant as a result of his background, not to mention being at Xiantian Rank 4, a cultivation rank which could even manage to get an assured ranking within the Top Hundred of the Yearly Sect Gathering, thus making him even more conceited.
Originally, he thought it was beneath him to court Dana as he didn't believe any of the rumours about her at all, as to how could such a magnificent girl appear out of nowhere?

But, upon seeing her he was entrapped by her peerless appearance and from the moment he saw her decided that she belonged to him, at the moment even if Dana didn't have such a talent within cultivation he would still want her.
So seeing the girl he liked completely ignore him, not to mention he had great status within this academy with no one would daring enough to defy him, he even believed that if he personally asked the Sect Head then he would instantly form an engagement between himself and Dana, not only because of his talent but in order not to get on the wrong side of the clan behind him.
Honestly, he had other motives for joining the Elemental Sect, as his purpose was to ensure that the Elemental Sect had no disciple that can get within the Top Hundred, he was only here to get rid of any talented individuals and to embarrass them within the next Yearly Sect Gathering, making the Elemental Sect get to position in which they couldn't recover from.
But, upon seeing Dana, he began having different thoughts, thinking he could easily attain her.
"Do you know who I am? If you become mine, you will get many benefits within the sects from my clan, something which even your master couldn't provide you, with your talent, it will let you ascend even higher. Also, no one will dare to bully you no longer within the Xinghai Continent," The noble said while smiling, fully assured that Dana would at least consider his offer.
However, this seemed to have no effect on Dana as she ignored the noble under the shocked looks of the nobles, she turned around completely ignoring him and walked away.
Obviously, Dana couldn't beat up this noble as he had important status, so she thought the best method to deal with these people is not giving them 'face', as it seemed to truly affect them almost as worse as beating them personally.
Seeing Dana leaving, caused an ugly look to appear within the nobles face.
'Just wait, when you get within the secret realm I'll see if I cannot do anything towards you'. He thought, with a malicious look within his eyes, anticipating ravishing Dana within the secret realm giving her no choice but to accept him.
After distancing herself from the group of nobles, Dana was pleased with herself thinking that those nobles wouldn't have the courage to approach her now that she obviously wouldn't respond to them at all, as within academy grounds they basically couldn't do anything else, allowed Dana to feel that the situation was 'dealt with', of course completely oblivious that the only reason they let it slide so easily as they believed it would be easier to deal with her within the secret realm than in the academy in the presence of her master.

Thinking that she should finally go look for some martial skills within the academy, Dana wandered around eventually finding the location of the martial skills present within the academy.
After showing the access slip she received from the sect head which gives her access to the second from the best room with martial skills, she entered a room filled to the brim with scrolls.
There might be a room with martial skills superior to the ones within here, but this was only accessible towards the top characters of the Elemental Sect and an outsider like her wouldn't be permitted entrance, even with her master's close relationship with the sect head.
However, getting access to this floor is shocking enough as it is, as only top disciples which have been within the sect for years garnering merits can have access to this floor, so Dana having access within her first day truly shows how close of a relation both her master and the sect had possessed.
Searching through the martial skills, Dana's eyes scanned through the descriptions of a fair amount of Earth and Water attributed martial skills before coming across a few she was interested in.
One was called [Earth Quake Fist] and the other was [Water Healing], the first martial skill was self-explanatory, it allowed her to release a quake within her firsts towards her opponent's body, which causes vibrations within their bodies, which will lead to internal injuries.
Upon seeing such a skill caused Dana to be filled with apprehension of using it towards her enemies, as internal injuries were one of the worst possible kind of injuries to inflict upon a cultivator, so such a skill would cause great damage to them, no matter if your a beast or human this martial skill will be very deadly towards you.
The second skill was one she thought may prove useful within the future, as it mentions the higher the cultivation of the user, the more effective it will be.
It basically just heals an individual, and depending on the purity of the Qi in addition to the talent of the individual in terms of comprehending the skill determines how effective it is.
Other factors may play into it such as the severity of the injury and the higher the cultivator level of the individual you are using it on, as for instance, this skill would be more effective on a mortal than cultivator as they had naturally weaker bodies, so it is easier to heal.
But, this can be overcome by Dana's cultivation level as well, making her think in the future it can be useful for her, as she may find herself in a situation were she has no other means to heal an individual, not to mention it can make up for being an extremely effective medical pellet as her talent increases within the water attribute in the future, so it saves her system points in having to purchase medical pills for that use.
So, this is why she decided to take this skill, as water attribute Qi is the second best attribute for healing with the first being light, any healing skill related towards it is very proficient in healing injuries.
Both martial skills were fairly high ranked, as both of them were way more precious than anything within the Skyclad Academy she had been in previously, showing the large difference between both powers.
Thinking she made the right choice, Dana excited the martial skill room, thinking she may come back in the future to the upper level if she manages to do well within the Yearly Sect Gathering, as what more of merit for the sect could she possibly do other than that?
Feeling happy at her choice, Dana decided she might go out after this to hunt some spirit beasts within her Frost Wyvern form, as she kinda misses having some action, due to spending her past few days like this, she also found this was the quickest way to improve, and with the secret realm looming over her within the next two months, she knows that she will have to improve her strength to the fullest in order to prepare for such an event in which many cultivators have no quarrels in robbing or killing each other without the protection of the other sect elders.
And being within the Elemental Sect has made her realise that it has many enemies, so she imagined not a small number of people will be aiming for her head...
