Chapter 51: Let's Be Sincere | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025

A wave of gazes descended, and at this moment, even though Su Yu was more mature than his peers, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

What’s wrong?

Can’t Nan Yuan produce geniuses?

This is Nan Yuan’s assessment!

Nan Yuan isn’t devoid of talent, Nan Yuan isn’t full of trash, Nan Yuan is just weak because the Yuan Qi is too scarce and unsuitable for cultivation.

Which student in the academy isn’t diligently cultivating?

Who isn’t working hard?

Even a simpleton like Chen Hao cultivates for seven or eight hours every day. What limits them is the environment, not anything else!

Feeling uncomfortable, Su Yu didn’t show it.

He knew that reasoning wouldn’t work, and no one would sympathize with them.

Nan Yuan is weak… that’s Nan Yuan’s problem. Who told you to be in Nan Yuan!

Isn’t the environment in Da Xia Prefecture good? Go there yourselves!

It was perhaps like saying, “Why don’t they eat meat porridge?”

Su Yu suppressed his inner turmoil. He didn’t particularly like it when people constantly said… “A small place can also produce geniuses.”

The phrase “small place” was always on everyone’s lips.

Even if it was well-intentioned, it made Su Yu uncomfortable.

Nan Yuan was his hometown, and the people of Nan Yuan could criticize it themselves, but they couldn’t stand outsiders constantly looking down on them and making comments.

The examiners’ gazes may not have been malicious, but Su Yu felt a lump in his throat.

“This is my first time riding a demon beast…”

Suppressing these emotions, Su Yu smiled and said, “If there’s anything inappropriate, please forgive me!”

With that, Su Yu leaped up.

With a thud, he landed on the back of the huge Swift Cloud Horse!

Grabbing the long hair on the horse’s back, Su Yu slapped the horse, and the Swift Cloud Horse quickly galloped away!

Su Yu sat extremely steadily, allowing the Swift Cloud Horse to run wildly, clamping his legs tightly. The Swift Cloud Horse quickly ran a circle but showed no sign of stopping.

Nearby, many students whispered, “The Swift Cloud Horse seems a bit startled. It’s running too fast, wouldn’t failing to stop steadily count as not completing the test?”

An examiner heard this and immediately said, “Of course, failing to stop steadily will definitely result in deductions!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu gently patted the Swift Cloud Horse’s neck. The still galloping Swift Cloud Horse quickly stopped, its limbs slightly bent. Su Yu jumped off the horse and laughed, “It’s pretty simple. I was a little scared when I saw it for the first time.”

At this moment, the students didn’t react much, but several examiners couldn’t help but look at Su Yu.

Old Xie’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

At some point, the leader of the Da Xia War Academy also walked over, glanced at Su Yu, and a faint smile appeared on his stern face.

Old Xie also saw the other person, grinned, and moved his lips slightly, “Descendant of the Town Demon Army, none of your business!”

The leader of the Da Xia War Academy didn’t take it seriously and calmly said, “It’s just seeing blood, it’s nothing. Da Xia War Academy doesn’t lack this kind of person. Only your Dragon Martial Academy treasures him. Let’s see!”

The Swift Cloud Horse ran wildly just now, a bit startled, and as a result, Su Yu felt a surge of Qi and blood. There’s still a difference between someone who has killed and someone who hasn’t. At that moment, Su Yu probably had the desire to kill the startled Swift Cloud Horse.

The Swift Cloud Horse was a demon beast after all, and it naturally felt the danger of death, so it stopped quickly.

The students didn’t understand, but the examiners naturally understood some things.

On the Da Xia War Academy side, the leader said a sentence and then laughed, “Opening Yuan Eighth Level, that’s very good in Nan Yuan! But judging by what you said, he can get into the Upper Class?”

Old Xie smiled, “Upper Class is also none of your business!”

“Xie Qi, you don’t have to always squeeze me.” The middle-aged man laughed lightly, “Dragon Martial Academy treats us as rivals, but the Da Xia War Academy’s rivals have never been Dragon Martial Academy!”

Old Xie didn’t care and laughed, “Beat you guys, then beat the Civilization Academy! Look at you, trash. For hundreds of years, war has always suppressed civilization, but now? The path of war has fallen into your hands. How can you have the nerve to say that?”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, “If Dragon Martial Academy hadn’t been competing with us for students and resources these years, and the academy master hadn’t favored you and weakened the Da Xia War Academy, how would the Civilization Academy have had the opportunity to rise!”

“Blame others when you’re not good enough!”

Old Xie scoffed, “Don’t you understand why Dragon Martial Academy was built back then? Lifeless, the results getting worse year after year, fewer and fewer strong people, consuming a lot of resources, but failing to produce a next generation of talent, your academy should have been cut, not given another chance!”

“Go say that to Ling Hai Lou!”

“What if I said it?” Old Xie didn’t back down, “Bite me? You’re just using those old seniors to pressure us! That’s the accumulation of three hundred years of Da Xia Prefecture, not the results of your few decades!”

“Just wait, the students of Dragon Martial Academy in these generations aren’t any worse than you. The number one war academy of Da Xia will soon have its name changed! The so-called Da Xia War Academy… take out the words ‘Da Xia’ for me, change it to Garbage War Academy!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes were sharp as he looked at Old Xie, and Old Xie didn’t back down, glaring back.

After a moment, the middle-aged man snorted, “You think he can get into the Upper Class, but I think there’s no hope! I’ve seen his scores. The previous assessments were good, a total of 250 points, plus 50 points for Beast Taming, and 100 points for Merit, totaling 400 points.”

“There are still the Eighth Level Basic Test, Shooting, and Practical Combat, with a total score of 200 points. Only if he gets full marks in all three subjects can he barely get into the Upper Class.”

Old Xie laughed, “Full marks won’t do?”

“Shooting test, he can get full marks?”

The middle-aged man said calmly, “How many times has he held a bow? The Nan Yuan Academy is generally average, and the teaching results are also average. Are you sure he can get full marks?”

Old Xie wasn’t sure either, but at this moment, he couldn’t back down, so he laughed, “I think he has no problem!”

The two looked at each other. The middle-aged man was too lazy to pay attention to him. Stubborn as a mule!

The next moment, Old Xie suddenly shouted, “Su Yu, this man from the Da Xia War Academy looks down on you, saying you definitely can’t get into the Upper Class! Can the military take this kind of grievance? Get full marks in the shooting test later and show him!”
Su Yu glanced at the two, seeing their eyes meet, filled with hostility. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, “Teacher, are there any special rewards or incentives for top-tier students?”

“Hmm?”

Old Xie was taken aback for a moment, then said, “Once you enter the academy, there will naturally be rewards, and the cultivation methods are different…”

“I mean, purely for the assessment, is there a reward for entering the top tier?”

Old Xie rolled his eyes and chuckled, “We, the Dragon Martial Academy, don’t have such a policy. Of course, the Great Xia War Academy is rich, wasting resources every year. If you get into the top tier, the Great Xia War Academy probably wouldn’t mind giving you a few hundred drops of Yuan Qi liquid for free.”

“…”

The atmosphere, which was previously tense, instantly dissipated.

On the Great Xia War Academy’s side, the middle-aged man glanced at Old Xie and said lightly, “Xie Qi, if you’re so confident, why don’t you reach into your own pocket and give some? Coming to Nan Yuan as the chief examiner, if I remember correctly, the merit reward is 50 points, and 5 drops of Soaring Blood Essence. How about you contribute a little to encourage the young students?”

“…”

Old Xie cursed inwardly, “I have no money!”

“I’m just a poor wretch!”

Although the Dragon Martial Academy has Xia Longwu backing it, the resources are really not as plentiful as the Great Xia War Academy. After all, they have been the big brother for hundreds of years; there’s no comparison.

However, on second thought, Su Yu probably… has no hope of entering the top tier, right?

After all, he’s far behind!

He would need full marks for the remaining sections. Even the slightest error could deduct a few points.

So many people are watching now; could the Dragon Martial Academy afford to lose face?

Thinking of this, Old Xie chuckled, “I’m poor; I don’t make money as quickly or as much as you. How about this, Su Yu, if you get into the top tier, I’ll give you 10 merit points as a celebration. The descendants of the Demon Suppression Army are all family; I’m not stingy with that.”

“…”

“Old Miser!”

At that moment, many people criticized him inwardly. Su Yu’s chances of entering the top tier are slim, yet this guy is still so stingy. 10 merit points… is that a lot?

Besides, there’s a 99% chance he won’t have to make good on his promise.

Why not say a little more now to give the Dragon Martial Academy a bit of face?

Old Xie quickly changed the subject, “I’ll give you 10 merit points, and this guy will give you 10 merit points, both from our own pockets. Whoever gets reimbursed is a grandson, how about it?”

“…”

The middle-aged man was too lazy to pay him any attention and didn’t respond. Old Xie took his silence as agreement, but in reality, he didn’t have much hope.

Just cracking a joke for a bit of fun.

At that moment, however, Su Yu said seriously, “Is what Teacher said true?”

“…”

Old Xie was speechless. Did Su Yu really want to snag those 20 merit points?

“Of course. 10 merit points is nothing. Any more, and it would cost me my life. Just such a small amount; I can earn it back by killing a Myriad Stone. Would I lie to you?”

Su Yu nodded and stopped talking.

He calculated in his mind, “Alright, if I can’t get full marks in the other subjects, then I’ll find a way to break through to the ninth level of the Elemental Opening Realm in the remaining time!”

He was just a tiny bit away anyway; just a little bit.

Breaking through to the ninth level of the Elemental Opening Realm, even if it’s a fresh breakthrough, and I can’t get the full 50 points, can’t I get 30 points?

Then entering the top tier would be quite easy.

***

The incident quickly passed.

It wasn’t a big deal; just a few examiners who didn’t get along.

Su Yu and the others who had finished the examination continued to follow Old Xie and the others toward another examination venue.

Wu Lan, who hadn’t spoken to Su Yu before, suddenly stopped and waited for Su Yu to approach before saying, “You want to take the War Academy exam?”

“I’ll decide after the exam.”

Su Yu was a little puzzled. He didn’t know her, but earlier, outside the examination venue, these people were gathered together observing him. Since she had willpower, she might be related to Bai Feng.

“If you don’t want to take the War Academy exam, there’s no need to show off right now.”

Wu Lan said seriously, “The War Academy and the Civilization Academy have always been at odds. It’s unnecessary to perform so well in the War Academy’s assessment… If the Civilization Academy finds out…”

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “They wouldn’t try to make things difficult for me, would they?”

“Not necessarily.”

Su Yu laughed, “Is the Civilization Academy so petty? They can’t even stand to see students perform well in the assessment? If that’s the case… only a fool would go to the Civilization Academy! If it’s rotten to the core, anyone who goes is an idiot! If that’s really the case, of course, I’d go to the War Academy!”

He really wanted to laugh. “Is that what you think, or is that how things really are? If that’s true, I advise you not to go either. Is there any need to go to such an academy? We haven’t even entered the academy yet, and someone already thinks you shouldn’t go to the Civilization Academy because you performed well… That’s too bad! How did the Great Xia Civilization Academy become like this? That’s too different from what I imagined; if it’s rotten to the core, there’s no saving it. Maybe you shouldn’t go either?”

Wu Lan was speechless. After a long time, she said, “It’s not like that. I mean… Anyway, you’re on the Civilization Academy’s radar, and someone doesn’t like you…”

“Including you?”

“I… I don’t!”

Wu Lan said coldly, “I’m just here to see what kind of student Assistant Instructor Bai Feng wants to take. I don’t care about that student spot at all!”

Su Yu laughed, not paying attention. He continued, “Is what you said earlier true, that people will be unhappy if I perform well here?”

“I don’t know. I’m guessing… well, not guessing. If you perform well, some teachers might suggest you go to the War Academy. For example, if you get into the top tier here, the teacher will suggest you go to the War Academy. That way, your options will be limited.”

“Why?”

“Because of teaching according to aptitude. Also, it would free up a spot. Besides, many people know that Assistant Instructor Bai Feng is taking you as a student. If you can’t get into the academy, how will he take you? People will laugh at him then.”

Wu Lan said calmly, “If the teacher suggests you go, but you don’t go and insist on going to the Civilization Academy, others will see you as someone who can’t see yourself clearly. You’re clearly so outstanding in the War Academy assessment, but you insist on going to the Civilization Academy. Students who can’t see themselves have no value.”

“What if I’m also outstanding in the Civilization Academy assessment?”Wu Lan glanced at him, feeling somewhat peculiar, “Do you think it’s so easy to get into the top tier of the Civilization Academy? The top tier of the War Academy is actually easier to enter than the Civilization Academy, and luck is also very important. The Civilization Academy truly values strength and ability.”

“I think my ability is quite strong!”

Su Yu was neither polite nor humble, seriously stating, “For Civilization Academy’s kind of assessment that doesn’t rely on luck, I think I’ll only be stronger!”

“…”

Wu Lan suddenly didn’t want to talk to him anymore and left directly.

As they were talking, they arrived at the shooting assessment range.

Old Xie still followed them. In fact, he didn’t have to come at this point, but he continued to follow, saying as they walked, “This depends on strength and mentality. There are targets at 50 meters, 100 meters, and 300 meters. They are static targets. Hitting the bullseye of the 50-meter target is worth 5 points, the 100-meter target 15 points, and the 300-meter target 30 points. Your fundamentals are pretty good, so you can reliably get 20 points. The last 30 points are a bit difficult.”

“Each target has three chances, and if you hit the target, you’ll also get some bonus points.”

“The best score will be used!”

“In other words, out of nine arrows, you need to hit the bullseye of at least three different targets to get full marks!”

After Old Xie finished speaking, he looked at Su Yu and smiled, “Su Yu, do you guys in Nanyuan practice this often?”

“Rarely, once a week, and at most with 100-meter targets.”

Su Yu answered seriously, and it was true. Nanyuan almost never lets you practice with 300-meter targets. There’s no point, as it requires arm strength, and even someone at the third level of Kaiyuan might not be able to draw a strong bow.

Old Xie coughed lightly, perhaps to hide his smile.

Su Yu thought that was the case. This guy probably didn’t want to pay those 10 merit points. Shameless!

Just as he was saying this, someone suddenly called out to Su Yu. Not far away, Chen Hao excitedly said, “Ayu, you’re here too! You’re too slow, you’re only coming now. I thought you were done with the exams…”

This guy came running over, excitedly saying, “How are you even slower than me? Did you spend too much time listening to the secret manuals?”

Su Yu thought for a moment and replied seriously, “No, I finished listening very quickly and should have gotten full marks. Then I took the Kaiyuan sixth and seventh level assessments and got 80 points. Then I took the riding test, which I should have gotten 50 points on as well. So I should have taken two more tests than you, and I should have gotten 130 more points than you, assuming you took as many tests as me earlier…”

Chen Hao’s running slowed down, feeling a bit desperate.

Ayu had already finished several more tests than him!

He was just a little excited, thinking that Ayu wasn’t as fast as him, since he had been here for a while and Ayu just arrived!

As a result… the extra points he earned were probably higher than his total score!

Too unfair!

Chen Hao was extremely frustrated. Su Yu smiled, “Are you done with the shooting test?”

“Not yet.”

Chen Hao said gloomily, “I just got here too and came over when I saw you.”

“How did the previous tests go?”

“The three basic courses should… be passable, right?” Chen Hao wasn’t sure, quickly adding, “Didn’t the first three levels of Kaiyuan require smelling scents and tasting things? I probably wrote mostly correct answers, you know, I eat a lot, so I can distinguish them. The listening test for the fourth and fifth levels… should also be mostly correct, right?”

Chen Hao wasn’t confident at all, “They should be correct! The proctors all said I wrote well!”

“Really?”

Su Yu didn’t believe it. Would the examiners praise you?

“Really! The teacher said that even if some of them were wrong, he might not be able to tell. If he can’t see anything wrong with it, doesn’t that mean there are no mistakes?”

Chen Hao nodded seriously.

Su Yu thought for a moment and suddenly understood. You took that as affirmation?

The teacher probably meant that your handwriting was too ugly, and even if you wrote something wrong, he might not be able to tell if it was wrong, right?

Su Yu was amused and nodded, “That’s good then. You haven’t taken the riding test yet, right? After the shooting test, go take that immediately. It’s just a few big horses, don’t be afraid. Just get on and ride. If they don’t listen, just think about roasting them and eating them. Horses also bully timid people, so don’t be timid!”

“Got it.”

Chen Hao hadn’t seen the Benyun horses yet, so he didn’t care. It didn’t matter if the horses were a little bigger. He often rode horses at the academy. He was much more active than Su Yu and liked these things.

Just as he was speaking, an examiner shouted, “That student, come over here, it’s your turn. Do you want to withdraw from the test?”

Chen Hao rushed over, while Su Yu’s side was still in line.

Chen Hao had practiced archery for longer than Su Yu. This guy didn’t like to read and spent his time in the training room. Now that he had a bow in his hand, he drew it and shot!

With a “whoosh,” he hit the bullseye 50 meters away!

Su Yu had good eyesight and could see it clearly even at this distance.

Chen Hao wasn’t foolish when drawing the bow, he was extremely serious. He drew the bow again, and the second arrow soared through the air with a “whoosh!”

100 meters away, he hit the bullseye again!

“Not bad!”

Here, Old Xie also nodded slightly and smiled, “Apart from lacking strength, the fundamentals are very solid!”

With the third arrow, Chen Hao didn’t open his eye aperture. The bullseye 300 meters away, without a scope, was a bit difficult for Chen Hao.

With the longbow fully drawn, sweat dripped from Chen Hao’s forehead, but he didn’t shoot.

His stamina was running out, but Chen Hao was still looking for an opportunity, judging the location of the bullseye and the wind direction.

Although this guy was only at the fifth level of Kaiyuan, he had a good physique and persisted for a while, and the longbow didn’t shake.

Su Yu could even see the sweat dripping from his forehead, feeling a little nervous, worried that this guy would expend too much energy and affect the subsequent tests.

“Whoosh!”

With a sound of air trembling, the arrow shot out and hit the target in front with a “thud.”

“Deviated from the bullseye, hit the target, deduct 10 points!”

Old Xie muttered. Su Yu was relieved, thinking that this guy was good, getting 40 points on the shooting test, which was higher than he expected.

Over there, Chen Hao wasn’t annoyed, but rather excited. He looked at Su Yu again, grinning happily.

He didn’t expect to hit the third arrow either. Now he got 20 points for free, a big win!

Soon, it was Su Yu’s turn.
Su Yu could see the 50-meter target clearly. He took the longbow, drew it, and shot, easily hitting the 50-meter target.

The same was true for the 100-meter target.

For Su Yu, even without using his willpower, he could still judge many things and easily hit the bullseye.

300 meters was a bit difficult for Su Yu.

Like Chen Hao, Su Yu drew his bow and judged for a while, but he didn’t sweat. He didn’t get to Kaiyuan Level 8 for nothing.

With a “buzz,” the arrow flew out.

Old Xie stared intently, and the next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also said with some regret, “What a pity! Just a little bit off, probably deducting three or five points.”

He didn’t hit the bullseye, deviating by less than 1 cm. Depending on the specific deviation, he might be deducted about three points.

In that case, Su Yu would have no hope of getting into the upper class.

Old Xie felt both that he wouldn’t have to give out the 10 merit points and that it was a pity that Su Yu couldn’t enter the upper class. After entering the academy, his treatment would be much worse. But since this kid had willpower as a bonus, he should still be able to enter the upper class, right?

Beside Su Yu, several out-of-town students were also watching. Seeing that he missed, some felt regret, while others breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that this Nanyuan student wasn’t too strong after all.

In the Great Xia Prefecture, it wasn’t uncommon to get a perfect score in shooting.

Su Yu didn’t feel too much regret, but rather a sense of relief. Luckily, he still hit the target. He had too little practice time, and he could only hit the target now with the help of his open eye aperture and willpower. To be honest, he wasn’t as strong as Chen Hao. At least that guy hit the target based on skill.

“No chance for the upper class!”

Old Xie looked at Su Yu, feeling somewhat regretful.

Su Yu smiled and wasn’t anxious.

Kaiyuan Level 9, just a little bit away.

After opening the picture book and cultivating with essence blood for more than ten days in a row, he had felt that he was about to break through the ninth aperture, but he had almost used up all his essence blood, so he didn’t continue cultivating.

But now… why not cultivate when he could get 20 merit points for free!

A drop of Yuan Qi liquid sold for 100,000 externally, but it only cost 5 merit points to exchange for it.

Su Yu still had 7 merit points left. He hadn’t used the rewards from assisting in killing the Myriad Stone Realm expert and killing the Thousand Pound Realm expert last time.

“Teacher Xie, the upcoming combat assessment and Kaiyuan Level 8 assessment are together, right?”

“Yes.”

Old Xie nodded, “Kaiyuan Level 8 already has real combat power, so the combat assessment for Level 8 students is different from other students. Other students mainly practice martial arts, while you Kaiyuan Level 8 students will have real combat. Under the supervision of the examiners, five examiners will be present, and the overall score will be given. The final average score will be your combat score.”

Su Yu nodded slightly. Beside him, Wu Lan suddenly said, “You want to get first place in the Nanyuan War Academy assessment? I should be the only one at Level 8 here. I won’t take the test. You don’t need to take it either. You’re pretty much already in first place. Don’t waste too much energy, and if you get injured… it will affect the Civilization Academy assessment in the afternoon.”

This time, there should only be her and Su Yu at Kaiyuan Level 8.

As for the others, they were here to take the Civilization Academy exam, not the War Academy exam. Most of them were at Kaiyuan Level 7. Wu Lan hadn’t seen anyone at Level 8.

If they were really at Kaiyuan Level 8, those guys wouldn’t bother coming here. They would just take the exam in the Great Xia Prefecture. Why would they come here?

Su Yu said seriously, “If someone at Kaiyuan Level 7 scores higher than me in the culture test and gets a perfect score in shooting, then I won’t be first. Besides… since I’m at Level 8, why shouldn’t I take the test?”

Wu Lan couldn’t understand. She was just being kind. Wasn’t this guy going to take the Civilization Academy exam?

The combat assessment for Kaiyuan Level 8 was real combat. Wasn’t he afraid of getting injured and not being able to take the exam in the afternoon?

“Whatever!”

She was a little unhappy and didn’t bother to say anything more.

Su Yu looked at Old Xie again and said, “Teacher Xie, what is the assessment for Kaiyuan Level 9?”

“Hmm?”

Old Xie glanced at him and judged, confirming that he hadn’t made a mistake and that Su Yu was still at Kaiyuan Level 8. Then he smiled and said, “Nanyuan doesn’t have a Kaiyuan Level 9 assessment item this time…”

“Then if there was, wouldn’t there be an assessment?”

“Not really. Kaiyuan Level 9 is similar to Level 8. For example, if you are at Kaiyuan Level 9, it will also be reflected in the combat assessment. However, the strength of the examiner you fight will be relatively higher, and then based on the combat assessment, a score will be given. In other words, Level 8 and Level 9 don’t need separate assessments. It’s all done at once.”

Su Yu nodded, still seriously and methodically saying, “Teacher, then arrange a Kaiyuan Level 9 combat assessment for me. I’ll take the Level 8 and Level 9 exams together!”

“You… Kaiyuan Level 8…”

Old Xie wanted to say something, but Su Yu suddenly took out a bottle and said, “Give me a few minutes. I think I’m almost at Level 9. Absorbing this drop of Yuan Qi liquid might get me to Level 9. If not, then assess me as Level 8.”

“…”

Old Xie was stunned, and after a long while, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath!

Are the kids in Nanyuan so rich now?

Where did the Yuan Qi liquid come from?

Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that this guy was actually about to break through. Was it that fast?

He looked at Su Yu’s information. He was only at Kaiyuan Level 3 a few months ago.

“Could this kid be a peerless genius in the Warrior Dao… who was previously delayed by Myriad Races Language? Liu Wenyan is a menace! He’s a fake Civilization Master who delayed a genius in the Warrior Dao. That guy should be dragged out and beaten to death!”

Old Xie cursed in his heart, feeling somewhat depressed and somewhat expectant… Could it really happen?

If it happened, could this kid enter the upper class?

“If he really gets into the upper class, the Great Xia War Academy will definitely come to snatch him!”

The next moment, Old Xie grabbed Su Yu and dragged him to a small classroom not far away, saying seriously, “Be careful. I’ll protect you. Be careful that the Great Xia War Academy people might come and cause trouble. They have a lot of infighting and can’t stand seeing geniuses. That guy just now is also a vindictive person. Once he knows that you’re about to break through to Level 9 and enter the upper class, he’ll definitely come and cause trouble for those 10 merit points!”

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, “Wouldn’t that be too much…”

“Too young!”
Old Xie said solemnly, “If you don’t know how treacherous the world is, you wouldn’t think everyone is like me, right? Some people have strong vindictive personalities, can’t stand others being better than them, and wish the whole world was full of mediocrities. I’m talking about that guy just now! The Great Xia War Academy has long been ruined by people like them, but don’t worry, I’m here to protect you, no one dares to do anything to you!”

Old Xie’s tone was serious, his attitude solemn, and he said earnestly, “Believe me, you won’t have any problems! Also, don’t get close to that guy, be careful he ambushes you. He’s in the sixth level of the Soaring realm. A burst of hidden energy into your body, and your acupoints will be ruined. Stay at least 5 meters away from him, and come towards me as soon as you see him, I’ll keep a close eye on him!”

Su Yu’s expression became serious. Really?

This is the examination site, the Great Xia War Academy wouldn’t be like this, would it?

For 10 merit points, to ambush outstanding students?

That’s too dark!

Old Xie was afraid that he would misunderstand, and coughed again, explaining, “He’s the only one like that, the Great Xia War Academy is generally okay, but that guy is the most petty, so just stay away from him.”

Stay away from that guy, and don’t give him the chance to recruit you!

Su Yu glanced at Old Xie, “I’m still young, don’t lie to me, is it true?”

You recruiting teachers, for the sake of students, are desperately badmouthing your opponents. Is that appropriate?

Can’t people be more sincere with each other and give each other some trust?

Su Yu was tired. He was actually very skeptical of Old Xie’s words, but… I’m not planning to go to the War Academy anyway, whatever, I’ll just get the 20 merit points and the reward of 3 drops of Yuan Qi liquid and leave.
