Tang Lin paused for a second, seemingly surprised that David didn't know much about the Demonic hunt.
But the surprise didn't Last for long as he remembered David had only been admitted a months ago, since he was so focused on his cultivation, his ignorance about the Demonic hunt isn't so strange.
"Demonic hunt is an event that happens only once in five hundred years. Every academy nearby would send their best student to participate but there are only limited amount of spots available it. Only those on the rankings list from rank 500 to rank 1 are offered the opportunity to go.
"The Demonic hunt doesn't just happen at a random place but its been rumoured to have been a sacred but hidden domain of an unparalleled expert, but we do not have the authority to find out if the rumours are try or not." Tang Lin then paused as took a swing of his wine before placing it done on his table.
"Do you know why those at the rankings from 1-500 forcefully repress their strength, not advancing to the next level which is the Earth Realm?" Tang Lin asked.
David shook his head, but he did notice that from the first rank to the top 500, they are all mortal realm experts. It was as though they didn't to advance to the earth realm. At first, David had thought the earth realm was incredibly hard to advance to but who would have thought that wasn't the case at all.
The main reason the students from top 1-500 are still in the earth realm was because they were waiting for the Demonic hunt to start. Missing such a lucky and incredible opportunity would be nothing but a wasted lifetime.
"The sacred Domain only allows entry for those at the Mortal realm while those above the mortal realm would be instantly attacked by the natural protection of the domain. And in most cases, they might even be killed, which is why no one dares to risk it."
Since the event happens only once every five hundred years, the institute was surely not aware of this information and for David to be hare at that exact time, he couldn't help but smile at his luck. He wouldn't have been given the opportunity to enter the domain of he had been here a year later or a year after.
But then David frowned and asked. "I get that the demonic hunt inky opens once in a few decades, but why would I risk my life going into the domain? Surely there would be lots of dangerous beasts and mostly since other academies would be there, I can assume there would be lots of killings there."
"You are right about the killings and the dangerous beast, but that is just the downside of it all. The hidden domain consists of all grades of herbs, from grade one to grade six. Which can directly impart our mental energy, improving them by a vast amount. I read about the records of the past Demonic hunts and those people lucky enough of survive, comes back at their strongest! There are vast amounts of tempting treasures, high tier weapon, high tier earth rank mental arts, high tier pills, herbs, material all to be taken by the strong and those who ate lucky. Now tell me, who wouldn't want to risk their lives for opportunities like this?"
By the time Tang Lin finished his explanation, the night already hovered the earth with its dark veil, carrying along with it its often eternal shackles, the moonlight.
David left the pub for his room. Upon getting there, he fell into deep thoughts. Killing Feng Lang had directly upper his rankings to the top 200, rank 212 to be exact, which was why he didn't need to worry about fighting anyone to get a spot for the hidden domain. Although he had killed the earth realm bandit, with only one swing of the blade, David knew in terms of mental energy, the bandit was obviously much stronger than him but since he wasn't a member of an academy or a disciple of a sect, his strength was limited as the best mental art he could find would be a tier mortal ranked mental arts technique and if he was lucky, an incompleted middle-tier mental arts skill technique.
That was the difference between an ordinary mental energy practitioner and those in a sect or academy.
Although Feng Lang wasn't an earth realm expert, he was almost as strong as the earth ranked bandit and both of them had fought, Feng Lang would have won seeing as he possessed a high-tier mental art skill, and had reached the completion stage of the technique.
Feng lang was only at Peak Mortal realm but he had the strength to defeat a normal Early Earth realm expert and he was only at the top 200 in the mortal rankings. What about those students at the top 100, top 50, top 20, top 5? Just how strong would they be?
David gradually stroked Flint's furry body as he thought. The Demonic was going to start in a week, and he only has a few days to prepare himself. Seeing as his mental energy was still progressing so slowly David was aware he wouldn't breakthrough to the Peak Mortal realm anytime soon.
According to his calculations, his strength was barely enough to rival those at the top 100 in the rankings, while facing those at the top 50 might just be asking to be humiliated. Since he couldn't advance his mental energy anytime soon, David placed his hopes in mental arts skills.
All of his techniques had been practiced to the Ultimum state which included two high-tier mortal rank mental art and a mid-tier one. But they were barely enough, which is why David decided to learn an earth rank mental arts technique.
He had chosen those three techniques, while thinking it would take him a long while to master them, but who would have thought his perception was so strong he leant them all to the Ultimum level in just a week.
But an earth ranked technique was different. Most practitioners use at least two years to reach the entry state of the technique and get stuck trying to advance to the next state their whole life.
That was the main reason David hadn't started with the earth ranked technique first but started with a mid-ranked technique but he had never expected his talent in learning techniques to be so absurd.
Searching through his memories, David filtered through the seven Earth-ranked techniques he had memorised. They seem to contain some sort of unique waves which seem to disrupt one's mental waves which limited David's ability to learn the technique it was the main reason why he had only memorised seven of earth ranked up techniques as he felt that something terrible might happen if he overdid it.
Soon, David's eyes focused as he remembered a particular technique, Fantasy Blade.
The fantasy blade has three sword moves in it. Each sword move was more powerful than a high-tier mortal ranked technique. And can also be practiced to the ultimum state. Only after practicing the three techniques to the ultimum state could one be considered to have reached the third state.
After which, one would merge the three techniques together to form a while new set of techniques which when practiced to the final state, would be considered to have completed the whole technique, reaching the ultimum level of the technique.
David raised an eyebrows at this. He finally realised the reason why others would spent their lifetime on practicing an earth ranked technique, it was just so difficult to master. Even David didn't have the confidence in learning it to the ultimum state... within a week.
After getting more than enough food for the Flint who was still sharpening his teeth with his flesh, David proceed to start practicing the technique. Although his place was very small, It wasn't a problem for David.
After a few days, massive amount of brain waves could be felt overlapping against each other within David's room. It was the same for other disciples too as they were getting prepared for the Demonic hunt that would soon commence. They were trying their hardest to breakthrough in their techniques and their mental energy as fast as they possibly could.
The stronger they become, the more treasures they could hold and the more stronger the probability of surviving becomes. But not everyone was preparing for the the Demonic hunt.
While there were people willing to risk their lives for the treasures, their are some who valued their lives above all things or they were simply too much of a coward.
Nevertheless, this wasn't any of David's concern. He was like a machine with no feeling at all, practising the Fantasy blade over and over again. He had already practiced the first move to the Ultimum state, the second move was almost had passed the entry state and reaching the ultimum level too and only three days had passed.
