Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 522 - 236: In the Northern Emperor Academy, General Wei Breaks Through and Encounters Adversity
"The entry exam is something all North Empire Academy disciples must participate in. Generally speaking, it is a point system. With your Third Grade Cultivation, defeating a matching opponent of the same realm earns you one point. After defeating one hundred matching opponents, you can choose to continue, defeating those of Second Grade earns you five points, but failing deducts five points, and defeating those of First Grade earns you ten points, while failure deducts ten points.
Generally speaking, winning one hundred battles should place your points at the forefront, and if that’s not enough, you’ll need to challenge people of a higher realm."
Lin Aoshuang said teasingly.
Xu Guang felt relieved upon hearing this.
The point system allows challenging higher realm individuals.
"However...higher realm individuals can also challenge you, but they need to pay double points."
Lin Aoshuang’s smile became even more playful.
On the way, through some means, she already knew about Xu Guang’s accolades at Jingchen Pass.
She initially intended to let Xu Guang choose his place of residence freely.
Now, however, she felt Xu Guang had quite some potential, and perhaps in the future could join their group, so she gave Xu Guang an opportunity.
Xu Guang thought for a moment, "Thank you, Inspector Lin."
He ultimately chose to reside in the courtyard on the first floor.
Moreover, it would allow Ah Wei some ease; living too high meant Ah Wei, given his size, would constantly have to use All Things to control his weight. Any slight misstep could damage the building, leading to compensation in terms of immense Demon Slaying Merits.
"For your residence, you’ll have to arrange it yourselves in a moment. Next, I’ll take you to the training rooms; the rooms of North Empire Tower only allow Static Skill Cultivation. If cultivating Martial Techniques and causing damage, you’ll bear the consequences."
The training rooms are located in the deep mountains to the left of North Empire Tower. Amidst the swirling mist, there is surprisingly a tower hundreds of floors high.
The tower body is entirely wooden, but every piece of wood is inscribed with various mystical runes, sparkling with wondrous colors in the sunlight, all of which are far from simple.
On certain floors of the tower, there is a faint gleam of blades and swords, their might shakes the heavens, but yet they leave not a trace upon the tower.
"The training rooms provide Insight Tea of varying grades, and inside, there are traces of elder Martial Technique practice and insights. Additionally, each floor has holographic shadows left by elders through the Demon Revealing Mirror, who can resolve questions about Martial Techniques.
Similarly, a fee is required, varying from one hundred Demon Slaying Merits to ten thousand Demon Slaying Merits, explore it yourself when the time comes."
Lin Aoshuang had no intention of taking Xu Guang up, merely speaking casually as they stood below the tower.
Xu Guang nodded, feeling increasingly amazed internally.
The model of North Empire Academy already had shades of the university from his previous life, but with far stricter requirements.
Next, Lin Aoshuang led Xu Guang to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.
"Over there is the All Saints Dojo. Periodically, many Saints of the Six Academies and their disciples lecture in the dojo. Depending on the instructor’s strength and the content taught, the fee varies. If you wish to attend, it’s best to be prepared with Demon Hunting Merits."
...
"Is this our future home? Wonderful."
First floor of North Empire Tower.
Pushing open the door to the small courtyard on the east side, a dense Spirit Charm greeted them, Jiang Zi Yun couldn’t help but step back, exclaiming in admiration.
Xu Guang nodded.
Though it’s called a small courtyard, it spans about ten acres, boasting rockeries, aged trees, water pools, and towers—all forms of amenities available; deep within are several rooms, which from inside don’t seem like a part of a building. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Xu Guang naturally was extremely satisfied with such an environment.
"It’s a pity Little Bai and the others can only fend for themselves."
Each academy disciple can bring two Warriors for residence; Jiang Zi Yun and General Wei conveniently occupied the slots, and until Xu Guang’s position improved, the other Warriors could only wait outside for an opportunity, like those previously encountered.
Jiang Zi Yun went to tidy things up, Xu Guang took out his crystal identity card and began searching on it.
The Demon Revealing Mirror, whose grade as a Magical Treasure remains unknown, serves as the terminal for everything in Polar Six Academies. Each person’s identity card functions like a smartphone, capable of searching for everything related to North Empire Academy.
It is divided into six sections: Demon Hunting, Classics, Elixir, Famous Teachers, Training, and Dojo.
First opening Demon Hunting, it’s presented in a forum-like format.
"In East Mountain City, there is a Demon encampment; Senior Brother Wang Teng from the Criminal Sacrifice Academy leads the team, Cultivation of Second Grade and above may register."
Below are hundreds of replies.
"Wow, it’s actually Senior Brother Wang Teng leading the team, keeping safe with Murong Xue from North Empire Academy."
"Black Ze of North Empire Academy registering."
"....."
Xu Guang was a little surprised; this Senior Brother Wang Teng had quite a reputation in the six academies.
Being related to Demon Hunting Merits, he observed for a while.
Finding similar posts aplenty, but rarely any as grand as those led by Wang Teng.
Soon, Xu Guang found the reason in a post dedicated to explaining to Little Bai.
Due to the Cultivation Technique of Criminal Sacrifice Academy, everyone must follow numerous strict rules, with strong principles. Following their disciples in Demon Hunting carries no fear of trickery.
Demon Hunting Merits are important, but Xu Guang shouldn’t rush to go out; he needs at least to understand the situation in Jizhou before daring to venture out.
Then he opened Classics, where based on his current Cultivation realm, there were Third Grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, along with some Secret Techniques and Demon Hunting secrets, Feng Shui Arrays, etc.
All requiring an expenditure of copious Demon Hunting Merits.
Xu Guang became interested. Currently, he didn’t have exceptionally good Martial Techniques; his strong combat power relies on the dual overwhelming leverage of Extreme Soul Power and Divine Techniques. Solely based on Martial Techniques, he wouldn’t rank ahead among the Third Grade at North Empire Academy.
