God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 183: Special Areas In The Academy



The place before Nolan, unlike the previous areas consisting of high-rise skyscrapers, was actually a large glass gate, through which Nolan could see various pyramid-like structures.

Yes!

The place before Nolan was the very place where he had seen those pyramids from the sky upon his arrival at the Ascendant area. .net

The pyramids were made of strange material that refracted the light around them, turning them into some sort of bulbs that splashed light around the area.

At the top of the glass gates, Nolan could see a few words inscribed:

"Special Cultivation Area!"

Just like before, as Nolan walked towards the gate, the strange dome-like energy appeared once more, blocking his path.

He could only stand outside and see through the glass.

From there, he could see various Ascendants entering and exiting the pyramids.

If there was one thing Nolan sensed different about them, it was that each of them was oozing an uncontrollable, powerful Divine Essence.

They weren't doing it consciously; it was as though the energy flowed from them effortlessly.

Only now was he finally able to feel the true power of the Ascendants.

As they walked past him, he felt his heart rate spike up quickly, his body getting into a defensive combat ready state.

Without wasting a few more seconds, Nolan turned back and left the place.

He didn't know why the Divine Essence of those exiting the pyramids was so chaotic, but he figured it wouldn't do him any good to get in trouble with any of them.

Each of the Celestial Heirs seemed to be holding back the urge to fight, and Nolan didn't want to be the first Newcomer caught fighting an Ascendant in front of the dorm buildings.

He turned back and left, but he didn't go far when he heard the words:

"Hold on, friend!"

The voice rang out from afar, causing Nolan to turn his head.

He found a figure flashing toward him with speed, soon arriving before him.

He was a lanky young man, around the age of 22, who seemed to be somewhat out of breath, causing Nolan to snort inwardly.

No Celestial Heir would be out of breath by simply running a few meters, which meant the person before him was probably faking it!

Judging from his crooked smile, he was likely no good.

"How are you doing, friend? Newcomer, aye?" the young man asked, and Nolan gave a nod.

"Good, good. It seems I guessed right."

"You wouldn't happen to have your runic card on you right now, would you?"

The figure asked, and Nolan's eyebrows furrowed at the question.

But before he could respond, a third voice rang out from afar.

"Don't bother with them now, Nicko. They all haven't been given their points yet. They still have two days before they're allotted."

The voice belonged to another young man with fiery orange hair, and Nicko's eyes scrunched up with a surprised "Oh" before his nose wrinkled, and he turned to look at Nolan.

"It seems I no longer need your help... for now. Have a great day!" the lanky guy, apparently named Nicko, said as he flashed away from Nolan, joining his friends who slapped him on the shoulder.

Nolan listened in on their conversation with his heightened perception.

"Fuck me, I actually thought he possessed some points with him."

"Would've finally been able to go to the Second Pyramid and cultivate a bit more," Nicko said, causing his friends to snicker at him.

"Your itchy hands can't wait to go on a stealing spree, huh, Nicko? As expected of a Loki Descendant! Hahaha!"

Eventually, they both disappeared until Nolan couldn't hear a single word from them anymore, but he understood what had just happened.

[He wanted to rob you of your points. Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's pretty important for them.]

The system chimed in, and Nolan scoffed before walking away.

It seems the Ascendants were crooks too, not that he expected anything different from them.

All Celestial Heirs seemed to have no good souls, naturally.

No matter how much Nolan himself needed points, the thought of robbing others, especially those who had just started and would obviously need their points badly, never appealed to him.

"Whatever the Special Cultivation Area is, I'm sure the Ascendants go there to improve their strength."

'That's the only reasonable explanation for the wild auras coming from their bodies."

"This is probably the most special area for the students in the entire academy, but it seems it would require some points to be allowed entry."

" It's obviously not free for all," Nolan mused, piecing together all the clues he had gathered from the Special Cultivation Area, and he soon walked away from it.

Having checked the dorm rooms area, the Teaching Hall, and the Special Cultivation Area, there were only two places left for Nolan to check out: the Training Grounds and the Quest Area.

Fortunately for Nolan, the Quest Area was located right beside the Special Cultivation Area, and he simply changed direction, walking forward.

Quickly, in about 20 minutes, he stood before the Quest Hall.

Unlike the rest of the area, the Quest Hall had just three buildings throughout its entire grounds.

One of the buildings was incredibly high, reaching up to 2500 meters, while the other two were smaller, standing at around 1000 meters each.

Nolan didn't bother walking towards them, knowing he would be prevented from entering anyway.

He could see clearly on his map that it was an off-limits area.

Still, he was able to witness Ascendants moving in and out of the various buildings, and when they exited, they held large golden scrolls in their hands.

Also, he noticed that most of them were clad in various armors and had sheathed weapons by their sides, almost like they were preparing for a...quest.

"So this is the place where they're given quests."

"Judging from the number of Ascendants going in and out, the quests don't seem to be mandated by the academy, meaning they must be doing this for something... something like money or..."

Nolan mused with furrowed eyebrows, and the system completed his thought.

[Points.]
