Chapter 21 - A King Born From Hatred chapter 21

The classroom was completely silent after the teacher finished explaining the Saint Realm.

No one spoke.

No one moved.

Then the teacher turned around once again and said,

Now… we will talk about the realms beyond Saints.

The moment he said that, every student straightened their back.

Even Ketlos, Kaze, and the noble heirs started listening seriously.

Kairo, sitting in the back in Zephiron's body, narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was the knowledge he truly wanted.

The teacher waved his hand again, and the diagram in the air changed.

The previous realms disappeared, and a new ladder of power appeared — a ladder that seemed to reach the heavens themselves.

There are ten Immortal Realms, the teacher said slowly.

And each realm is more terrifying than the last.

He pointed to the first step.

1st Earth Immortal.

This is the realm where an Immortal begins.

Either a person is born in the Immortal World… or a Saint breaks through and enters the Immortal World for the first time — they start from Earth Immortal.

He moved his finger to the next level.

2nd Heaven Immortal.

In the Immortal World, even children between five to ten years old can reach this realm.

Many students gasped quietly.

The teacher continued:

3rd True Immortal.

4th Golden Immortal.

5th Mystic Immortal.

6th Celestial Immortal.

When he reached Celestial Immortal, his voice became heavier.

To reach Celestial Immortal… countless geniuses fail. Many spend their entire lives and never reach this realm.

The classroom felt colder.

Then he pointed higher.

7th Immortal King.

Those who reach this level have extremely high status even in the Immortal World.

Armies serve them. Kingdoms bow to them.

8th Immortal Emperor.

At this level… you can kill hundreds of thousands of cultivators alone.

Many students' faces turned pale.

Then the teacher pointed to the second last realm.

9th Immortal Sovereign.

To reach this realm is nearly impossible.

If you reach this level, you are considered a monster among monsters… a genius among geniuses.

At this level, you can control almost anything — energy, elements, space, even life force to some extent.

Then finally…

He pointed to the last realm.

The top of the ladder.

10th Eternal Immortal.

The classroom became so silent that even breathing sounded loud.

Very few people in history have reached this realm, the teacher said slowly.

But it is said… that those who reach Eternal Immortal…

He paused.

…can reincarnate with their memories.

They can destroy their own body and be reborn in another world… with their past knowledge.

Kairo's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Reincarnation… with memories…

For the first time, his expression changed slightly.

The teacher waved his hand, and the Immortal diagram disappeared.

Formations and Pills

Now, the teacher continued, we will talk about Formations.

Formations, pills, weapons — all of these are external paths of power. And they are divided into nine grades.

He began writing in the air again.

Grade 1 Formation – Basic traps, used by beginners.

Grade 2 Formation – Stronger traps and defense.

Grade 3 Formation – Can kill Core Formation cultivators.

Grade 4 Formation – Can threaten Nascent Soul cultivators.

Grade 5 Formation – Can kill Spirit Transformation experts.

Grade 6 Formation – Can fight Void Refinement experts.

Grade 7 Formation – Can kill Earth Immortals.

Grade 8 Formation – Can threaten Heaven and True Immortals.

Grade 9 Formation – Can kill Golden Immortals.

The entire class was shocked.

But then the teacher said something very important:

However… remember this carefully.

No matter if it is formations, pills, or weapons — they all have limits.

After the Golden Immortal Realm, these external tools become almost useless.

In the end… true power depends on your own cultivation.

He looked at the class one last time.

That will be all for today. I hope you understood.

Then he turned and walked out of the classroom.

After Class – The Confrontation

The classroom was noisy again.

Students were talking about Immortals, power, future, dreams.

But suddenly—

The classroom door opened again.

And someone walked in.

It was Kaze.

He didn't look at anyone else. He walked straight toward Ketlos.

Step. Step. Step.

The entire classroom became silent again.

Kaze stopped in front of Ketlos's desk and looked down at him.

Then he said in a cold voice:

So… Ketlos.

Now tell me…

Who is going to save you outside?

Ketlos slowly stood up from his seat.

The two of them stared at each other like enemies who had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

And in the back of the classroom—

Kairo, inside Zephiron's body, watched silently.

His lips slowly curled into a faint smile.

A fight between geniuses…

This academy is going to be very interesting.
