After receiving the news, De Lagar and Rachel immediately came to find Auckland. They stopped their friend in front of the Heraldry Department building, looked him up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that he was not missing a single hair.
"You are such a bad friend. You didn't tell us such a big thing happened, and we had to watch the news to know what happened!" Dragal complained unhappily.
"I'm so sorry! I really wanted to tell you. I was just too busy yesterday and couldn't get around to it. I was planning to have dinner with you tonight and tell you everything in detail." Oakland didn't try to shirk his responsibility; he really meant to. He and Hall had been discussing this late last night, and today, after Hall filed a lawsuit on his behalf in federal court, they still had to deal with reporters, so they really hadn't been able to find time.
"Really?" Dragal looked at him doubtfully.
"Of course! I've already ordered the meals!" In order to prove that he was sincere, Auckland also showed the order on his computer, which showed that he had indeed ordered dinner for five people.
"Okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you then."
The three of them walked towards the dormitory building in Oakland, chatting and laughing. When they returned to the dormitory and opened the door, they saw Hall and Chris sitting cross-legged on the sofa. In the middle of them was a little white fur ball sleeping with its legs spread out. Both of them had their eyes closed, obviously meditating.
"What are they doing?" Dragal asked curiously. Shouldn't people sleep lying down? Why are they posing like this?
"That's a long story." Oakland led them into the bedroom, closed the door, and quietly told them everything. He told them everything, including the ambush during their final exams, how he had been ambushed, how his spiritual power had evolved and he had begun practicing the Berkeley family's inherited cultivation methods, and how he had become incredibly powerful. He even knew about General Williams' assassination attempt. Since they were his trusted friends, he didn't want to keep any more secrets from them.
De Lagar and Rachel looked at each other in confusion. The amount of information was a bit overwhelming and they needed some time to digest it.
"If you are willing to learn, I can also teach you this set of cultivation methods." People who practice Taoism pay great attention to cause and effect. They saved him, so he owes them a life. This method can be regarded as repaying their life-saving grace.
To increase credibility, Auckland also performed a spell, and a small flame instantly ignited at his fingertips.
"After we learn this, can we be as powerful as you?" No one doesn't want to become stronger. Dragal and Rachel could not hide their excitement at this time.
"I can't say for sure. After all, cultivation depends on talent and your own diligence. I can't guarantee you anything." In reality, what Oakland taught Hall and the others wasn't their own unique technique, the Fire Cloud Technique, but a different, more basic technique. It primarily taught them how to draw Qi into the body and utilize spiritual energy, nothing more. It wasn't that Oakland wanted to keep it secret; the Fire Cloud Technique was a practice for talisman cultivators. It required extremely high spiritual roots and comprehension, and not everyone could cultivate it. Without Oakland's centuries of practice memories, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so smoothly.
When an orc awakens its beast soul, it can transform into a beast form, similar to the experience of a person with the blood of an ancient demon beast awakening within them. Oakland speculates that orcs are essentially the same as transformed demon beasts, hence their formidable strength.
Unfortunately, this world no longer had any cultivation traditions, and these beastmen could only use bodybuilding techniques to enhance their strength. Now that he had taught them how to harness spiritual energy, they could cultivate accordingly. Monster beasts were born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their own bloodlines their sole support. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, was instinctive for them. They didn't need him to teach them any advanced cultivation methods; they could continue to grow stronger and become so-called monster cultivators.
Monsters are different from humans and do not have spiritual roots. Therefore, the standard for judging whether a monster is powerful is the power of its bloodline. Monsters with strong bloodlines are born powerful, just like Hall. Oakland feels that their clan should actually be descendants of the mythical beast white tiger, otherwise they would never have such powerful talents.
As for Irving, it was another matter. Oakland was still in the foundation-building stage and could not directly sense the attributes of his spiritual roots. Because there was no talisman paper, there was no way to make talismans to test his spiritual roots. He had no choice but to let him practice the basic exercises first and recover his body before making further plans in the future.
De Lagar and Rachel certainly would not refuse such a good thing. They followed Auckland and sat cross-legged to practice this set of basic training exercises.
In reality, it was much easier to cultivate in beast form, but Hall refused to transform in front of others, and wouldn't allow Chris to do so in front of Oakland. That's why when Delagar and the others came in, they saw them sitting cross-legged in meditation. Even though Joey was sprawled out in bed, he was still absorbing a lot of spiritual energy.
As for why they didn't practice in their own dorms, but had to stay in Auckland... Of course, it was because there was a small spirit gathering array made of spirit stones under Auckland's sofa...
The dinner that Auckland had ordered arrived on time, interrupting the group's practice. They gathered together for a lively meal before dispersing.
When De Lagar and Rachel left, Auckland told them to practice hard and not to give up halfway.
Cultivation is not a one-day job. You must work hard every day to achieve success.

Looking at the court appearance notice received on his computer, which was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. 14 days later at the First Federal Court of the Capital Star, Arnold Percy's face suddenly became terribly gloomy. He opened the communication and called his adjutant in.
"General, you're looking for me?"
"How's the notarization of transfer going?" Before the mecha storage box was unveiled to the public, General Arnold had sent someone to ask Edmund Campbell to prepare a notarization of transfer. As long as Auckland died, Edmund would become his heir, and the ancient magic rune fragment would become Edmund's property. It would then become legitimate for him to transfer it to Arnold Percy.
He had already learned that Dylan Rowell had attempted to contact Hall Williams, and fearing the loss of this support, he acted in advance. With so many bugs, he had initially assumed Oakland was doomed, which was why he immediately announced the invention of the mecha storage box after Charles sent a message saying the mission was successful. But he hadn't expected the boy's luck to be so good, ruining his entire plan!
"This... Auckland Campbell is not dead... I'm afraid this notarized document has no effect..." Seeing the general's unfriendly expression, the adjutant reluctantly finished the sentence.
Arnold Percy was so angry that veins popped on his face and he broke off a piece of the corner of the table.
"Let the Campbell family figure it out! I want Auckland dead!"
"Yes... General..."
Auckland didn't know that another conspiracy was about to unfold against him, but even if he knew it, it wouldn't be a big deal. There is an old saying that goes - in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.

A few days later, George and Myrna unexpectedly returned to the First Federal Military Academy to look for Oakland. After all, they were still legally family, and the school had no right to prevent them from visiting. Oakland had initially tried to avoid them, but Myrna, that woman, was incredibly pitiful. She and George wept at the entrance of the school building, repeatedly begging Oakland to see them. This attracted quite a few students, and Oakland could no longer avoid them.
"What do you want to do?" Auckland frowned and looked at the mother and son impatiently.
"You also know about our family's recent situation. Your father fainted yesterday and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. They say he needs surgery! The treatment will cost a lot of money..." As Milna spoke, she was about to cry again.
"How much?" Auckland thought they were here to extort money, so he immediately planned to transfer money to them to get rid of them quickly.
"No, no, no, we're not here for the money..." Tears welled up in Milna's eyes as she looked at Oakland with pitiful eyes. "We are the ones who are sorry for you. Your father knows he was wrong. He wants to see you and talk to you before the operation..."
"Father may not succeed this time...so...please go and see him..." George said with a painful look on his face.
No matter how much of a bastard Edmund was, they were still father and son after all. If he refused to go to his father's house because of a grudge when his father was critically ill, he would probably attract some unnecessary criticism.
"I understand. I'll go."
