Chapter 154: Chapter 153: After a hard day’s work, back to square one (Four updates today!)
Paid 10 academic credits as compensation.
Heartache-filled Gu Xi’s face twitched... this truly made her feel both pain and joy.
Xu Lingjun’s progress was faster than she had imagined, as she had just requested that he break through to the True Transformation Realm within six months.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, he advanced directly from the early stage to the middle stage of True Transformation.
But during the breakthrough, the shattered glass scattered and left the nearby sofa with countless cuts and holes.
Xu Lingjun didn’t ask her to cover the year’s worth of academic credits... although he should have paid for it himself.
But strictly speaking, he was also helping her, as she was the one seeking something from him.
He was considerate, and she couldn’t not show gratitude, so she reluctantly paid the compensation with tears in her eyes.
Although 10 academic credits were a bit expensive, when faced with the staff of the Martial Mansion smilingly pointing to the distant wall,
where it was written that damage would incur a tenfold compensation.
Well... the arm can’t twist the thigh—just pay up.
Fortunately, there’s another income coming.
After having a meal, Gu Xi took Xu Lingjun to the Inspection Department.
The realm of Martial Arts cultivation is calculated from the moment one is formally admitted to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
More strictly speaking, it’s based on the standard during the assessment.
In other words, Xu Lingjun was in the late stage of the Qi Gathering Realm during the assessment, but now he is in the middle stage of True Transformation.
He broke through two realms in succession.
He himself could naturally receive 200 points for each realm, totaling 400 academic credits as a reward!
And Gu Xi could also receive a reward of 100 for each realm, which is 200 points of academic credit.
This is also why older students are particularly keen and enthusiastic about the talented new students...
Breaking through like eating or drinking water, how could credits not come flowing in time?
The inspection didn’t have any tricks; it was merely a demonstration of one’s realm.
Of course, the Martial Arts Examiner greatly admired Xu Lingjun for breaking through two realms in just over two months.
Looking at Gu Xi, the examiner’s eyes carried a touch of envy and admiration...
This is before doing anything, and 200 academic credits have been credited already.
Thus, after Xu Lingjun spent another 100, he gained an additional 400 academic credits.
Returning to the 500 tier.
It feels like working hard for half a day, only to return to square one.
This is an instant rejuvenation.
If word got out, I guess those students would turn green with envy... but no matter how you look at it...
The basic consumption of 350 academic credits for the coming year is gathered.
Or you could say it’s 370 since his body is only 17 years old now, and he might grow taller for another stint... next year’s school uniform might need to be repurchased.
Xu Lingjun thought for a moment and asked Gu Xi, "You get extra rewards for breaking through realms. Doesn’t that mean learners like Li Jingjun, who already reached the True Transformation realm long ago, would lose out?"
"How could she lose out? In fact, the Martial Mansion takes more care of students with high aptitude... Like during Li Jingjun’s assessment, she was already in the middle stage of True Transformation, joining the students as a second-stage student, and her realm might be the highest in the entire Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion."
Gu Xi said, "Although she doesn’t get 400 academic credits, many become Martial Mansion students in the Qi Gathering Realm, but very few do in the True Transformation Realm. She can obtain 10 Secret Realm Universal Tickets for free. You should know, a ticket to the Miwu Ghost Forest is 50 credits, and to the Ice Snow Realm, it’s 70 credits. In other words, if she waits until the third stage to use these tickets, she could achieve a value equivalent to a whopping 700 academic credits."
She sighed, "I can’t earn that much in two years, but others get it when they arrive. People really can’t be compared."
Xu Lingjun asked, "Can I enter the Secret Realm now?"
"Yes, you can, but I don’t recommend you enter now... you have to know, within the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, Cultivations and Martial Skills are countless. Your Bei Xuanwu Order hasn’t been used yet, right? First, improve your cultivation. Your strength is indeed not weak, but in the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion now, you are merely a second-stage student, and there are countless who can surpass you."
Gu Xi seriously said, "Within the Martial Mansion, those high-tier students, for their reputation, as long as you don’t bully their students, they may not bully you. But inside the Secret Realm... it’s different."
"What, you can kill randomly inside the Secret Realm?"
"Of course not, but the items inside the Secret Realm are considered ownerless until one leaves... it’s reasonable and legal to be attacked and robbed then."
Gu Xi said, "Daring to inflict serious harm is not encouraged. You have to know that student safety is the top priority, and everyone carries a Spiritual Protection Device when entering. Once activated, it creates a shield that lasts a minute, and the activation point is announced on all devices inside the Secret Realm. Whoever rushes to rescue will receive significant credit rewards, and the murderer will be held accountable."
She said, "I understand what you mean, you’d suggest activating the protection if attacked... This device is single-use; once activated, no matter the reason, it requires 200 credits as compensation. In life-threatening emergencies, 200 credits are disregarded, but who would dare use it casually? Hence, there have been cases where people died and didn’t activate the device."
Xu Lingjun nodded.
"Alright, you haven’t rested properly for a whole day and night. Sleep well; I’ll take you to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion tomorrow."
"Don’t we have classes?"
"The students aren’t fully gathered yet."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Besides, even when the students arrive, these classes are optional; you should browse through that tablet more. There’s a lot of content which is quite useful. You’re a newbie after all, so learning more won’t hurt."
"Understood."
Xu Lingjun nodded.
Gu Xi gave Xu Lingjun her address and instructed him to contact her if there’s anything, or he could come find her... Though she lived in a double dorm, ever since Junmin passed away, she was the only one there.
No one dared room with her, saving her a lot of hassle.
Xu Lingjun took his leave from Gu Xi and headed to his room.
Standing before his door, he looked at the door opposite, across the road, with a hesitant expression in his eyes.
Source Value is fundamentally his base for survival.
He hadn’t had a chance to do good deeds while traveling these days... Now that he’s here, he couldn’t wait to do some good deeds and spread the name of Lei Lingjun.
At the very least, gain some Source Value to make up the deficit.
It seems the cafeteria will be a big spender of Source Value...
Over eight thousand points seem like a lot, but spending it might drain it to the bottom within a year.
But unfortunately, just arrived and unfamiliar with the area, he couldn’t find anywhere to do good deeds even if he wanted to.
If I adopted the stray cat Li Jingjun has... would she be grateful to me?
Perhaps, seeing how she values that cat.
But, after some thought, he decided against knocking on the door.
Strictly speaking, they weren’t friends, maybe even competitors.
Going to request the cat on a whim...
might not garner gratitude but instead spark a heap of resentment, leading to an unwarranted enemy, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Li Jingjun is not to be underestimated.
According to Gu Xi, Secret Realms truly hone one’s strength... every battle within is life and death, and although there are life-saving techniques, the costly price means that unless certain of death, few are willing to use them In fact, some people would rather die than use them.
And then they indeed died.
My progress is rapid, and Li Jingjun’s progress won’t be too slow either.
It’s foreseeable that in the future... within the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, she might be my strong rival.
But reasonable competition is needed, no point in life-and-death fights.
No need to become mortal enemies.
Find some reason to request the cat from her someday...
consider it as tying a good relationship—an adversary and friend.
Parents have taken the child back to the countryside, have a bit more time today, update another Chapter... requesting subscriptions, support..., speaking of updating more, honestly haven’t kept count, probably still a lot to catch up, will continue to compensate
