Chapter 61: First Acquaintance with the Academy of Civilization | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025
June 26th, the day for the internal affairs academy and research academy assessments.
Of course, this wasn’t very relevant to Su Yu, and in fact, it wasn’t given much importance. In an era where the strong dominate, these things are easily overlooked.
Even if they are indispensable, they still fail to garner much attention.
Students only consider participating in the assessments of these two academies after failing to get into the War Academy and the Civilization Academy.
…………
At this time, Su Yu was entertaining guests.
Many!
There were examiners from the Civilization Academy and the War Academy.
Great Xia War Academy, Great Xia Civilization Academy, Dragon Martial Academy, Nine Heavens Academy, Seeking Dao Academy…
All the well-known academies had sent people today.
Upper and lower grades for the War Academy, and upper-upper grades for the Civilization Academy.
This wasn’t Great Xia Prefecture. If Great Xia Prefecture had such a genius, they wouldn’t need to be courted, because such a genius would most likely already have a place to go.
For example, Wu Lan was determined to go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, so there was no need to worry about her.
But Su Yu was different.
He had become famous too quickly, and only Bai Feng was keeping an eye on him. Bai Feng was a genius, no doubt, but Bai Feng was weak, only at the Soaring realm. The academy had plenty of people, and it wasn’t like they had to have Bai Feng.
Several examiners were strolling around the Su family’s house with great interest, looking around.
The chiliarch from the Demon Suppression Army, though silent, was staring at Su Long’s picture in the living room.
After a while, he murmured to himself, “Never forgetting national peril despite humble origins, rushing to the battlefield again upon a single decree in times of hardship, a hero of the human race!”
The other examiners looked at him strangely, as if saying, “Enough!
What are you pretending to be, a roughneck trying to be sophisticated!”
The old man from the Nine Heavens Academy was more straightforward, laughing, “Su Yu, I’ve already stated my terms. I guarantee it’s the best offer in Great Xia Prefecture! Let me say a few words and talk about each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”
“Take the Great Xia Civilization Academy, for example. There are many strong people, many monsters, many geniuses. If you go there, Su Yu, even with Bai Feng, to be honest, Bai Feng’s lineage isn’t doing well now. Elder Hong went to the Heavens Battlefield and it’s unknown how long it will take for him to return. Bai Feng is now in charge of their lineage…”
Speaking, the old man laughed, “Bai Feng is only at the Soaring realm. To be honest, he doesn’t even have the qualifications to speak in the Mind Cultivation Pavilion. What can he do for you? Fight for a chance to enter the secret realm? Or fight for you to read a few more articles on will?”
“Nine Heavens Academy is different…”
Before he could finish, Huang Sheng said lightly, “If he goes to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, he doesn’t necessarily have to become Bai Feng’s disciple. Bai Feng is just a research assistant. With his upper-upper grade, it wouldn’t be a problem to find a mid-level or senior researcher to take him under his wing.”
Over there, Old Xie from the Dragon Martial Academy said with a smile, “Why insist on going to the Civilization Academy? Isn’t the War Academy good? A martial arts genius like Su Yu should go to the War Academy. He dared to assist the Wind Chasing Hall in killing Wan Shi when he was just at the Yuan Opening realm. This kid should be like his father, proving himself on the battlefield!”
Old Xie tempted him, “Su Yu, if you go to the Dragon Martial Academy, you’ll study in the first year and go to the Dragon Martial Guard for internship in the second year, killing criminals, fighting the Myriad Races Sect, exploring secret realms… Can the Civilization Academy compare to that?”
As soon as he said this, the Great Xia War Academy also spoke up, “That’s right, a real man makes a name for himself in the War Academy! Cutting mountains with one saber, slaying the heavens with one sword, a good man should fight to his heart’s content, how can he just write and draw in the rear…”
As soon as these words came out, it was over.
Huang Sheng and the others looked displeased. Over at the Nine Heavens Academy, the old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Okay, so powerful. Then the military won’t need civilization masters next time, and the civilization warfare battalion can be disbanded.”
“I’m not talking about the civilization masters in the military…”
“So you’re talking about us?” Huang Sheng said coldly, “Ask the thousands of civilization masters in Great Xia Prefecture if they agree!”
“…”
“I’m too lazy to bother with you, sophistry!” The leader of the Great Xia War Academy, in his embarrassment and annoyance, stopped arguing.
If they continued, these people would gather civilization masters to deal with them.
Everyone looked at Su Yu. Su Yu looked apprehensive and said anxiously, “Teachers… I’m still young after all, I don’t understand anything, and I don’t know where to go. According to my own ideas, I want to go everywhere…”
Su Yu was embarrassed and somewhat uneasy, “But… as you all know, I was brought out by Teacher Liu Wenyan. Teacher Liu called me last night and said I must apply to the Great Xia Civilization Academy…”
As soon as he said this, Old Xie and the others were furious!
“What a Liu Wenyan, shameless old thief! How can he interfere with the student’s own choice? Su Yu, don’t listen to him. Your father is in the Demon Suppression Army, ask your father for his opinion…”
Su Yu said with a bitter face, “Even if my dad is at home, he has to listen to Teacher Liu. He taught me for five years, he is my mentor in the civilization path, and he has been teaching me tirelessly without asking for anything in return… My dad and I can’t be ungrateful.”
Su Yu sighed, “Since the teacher said the Great Xia Civilization Academy is good, then I can only go there. I’m sorry, teachers.”
The others weren’t too dissatisfied. Su Yu was still young, and he hadn’t even left Nanyuan. What did he know?
It was all Liu Wenyan’s fault for deceiving him!
Even if they were to hate someone, they would hate Liu Wenyan, the shameless old thief!
Old Xie wasn’t reconciled, “Su Yu, are you really not considering the Dragon Martial Guard? If you go to the Dragon Martial Academy, you can enter the Dragon Martial Guard in a few years and become the most elite military powerhouse in Great Xia Prefecture…”
“Humph!”
This time, the chiliarch of the Demon Suppression Army was angry and said coldly, “Our Demon Suppression Army guards the heavens, sweeping everything before us. When did the Dragon Martial Guard become the most elite army?”
Old Xie rolled his eyes and didn’t speak.
If he continued, the military would start fighting.
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. As the two most elite legions in Great Xia Prefecture, the Demon Suppression Army, although individually weaker, had more people and were experienced in battle, stationed in the Heavens Battlefield all year round, and would not admit that the Dragon Martial Guard was the best.
Su Yu pretended not to hear their argument, pouring tea for the examiners while saying gratefully, “Thank you, teachers, for valuing me. I am flattered and truly sorry.”
“It has nothing to do with you!”
Old Xie waved his hand, but then, not wanting to miss the chance to recruit talent, he said, “You agreed without even asking about the benefits of the Great Xia Civilization Academy?”
Su Yu smiled brightly and said, “Teacher Liu said there’s no need to play the waiting game. The Great Xia Civilization Academy is full of strong individuals and countless resources. They wouldn’t mistreat a new student. If I really played that game, waited for all the teachers to make offers, and then rejected them after a long application process… wouldn’t that be wasting everyone’s time?”
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Huang Sheng also laughed, “Teacher Liu is right, the Great Xia Civilization Academy has unified standards and won’t treat any genius student poorly! Even if you’ve already been taken in by Bai Feng in advance, the result is the same, what’s yours won’t be missing.”
“Of course, you can consider whether or not to become Bai Feng’s disciple, it’s your choice, it doesn’t have to be Bai Feng.”
He was very satisfied with Su Yu’s choice.
He firmly chose the Great Xia Civilization Academy, although Liu Wenyan seemed to have played a role in it, Su Yu didn’t dwell on it, it was a good thing.
It saved time and prevented him from ending up arguing with the other examiners until they were red in the face.
Now that Su Yu had made his choice, the examiners were disappointed, but helpless. The elder from the Nine Heavens Academy stood up and said, “Su Yu, you can choose to come to the Nine Heavens Academy before enrolling. The benefits are still the same as I mentioned before! Once you enroll, you won’t have another chance to change.”
Old Xie also said, “Since you’ve made your choice, we won’t waste time. You come from the military, so coming to the Dragon Martial Guard after graduation is the same, but I want to give you a friendly reminder…”
Old Xie paused, smiling, “Civilization Academies are not like War Academies. There are too many old foxes, too many families, too many wealthy people in Civilization Academies. Warriors can continue to cultivate without a lineage, and many strong individuals rise up on the battlefield. But in Civilization Academies… lineage is more important, there are too many factions, too many wealthy families. You’re going there… be careful!”
Huang Sheng’s expression changed, but he didn’t say anything.
Old Xie’s words were spot on.
The Warrior path is relatively pure.
The Civilization path has too many factions.
There are those of the Divine Script path, those of the pure Willpower path, those of a combination of the two, and some other miscellaneous minor factions.
There are those who admire the civilizations of the myriad races, and those who only recognize the civilization of the human race.
There are those who like external objects, such as fighting in mechs, and those who like the path of body modification… such as transforming a part of their body into a part of a demon race…
In short, the Civilization path is very complex.
There are many lunatics, many strong individuals in the Civilization path, and they all have their own characteristics. Strictly speaking, although the number of strong individuals is not as high as in the Warrior path, in a real fight, warriors of the same realm are likely to be no match for Civilization Masters.
Warriors fight in a limited number of ways, while Civilization Masters fight in completely different ways, which you can’t grasp at all.
Old Xie was just giving a friendly reminder because Su Yu came from a very ordinary background.
His father was just a centurion in the Demon Suppressing Army. Given the importance of civilization heritage, there are many Civilization Master families in Great Xia Prefecture, some with hundreds of years of lineage, and even some Civilization Masters from the era of the Great Xia King are still alive.
This kind of family lineage is less common in the Warrior path because people rise up every year, and many new strong individuals rise up from the battlefield. It’s not uncommon for them to come from ordinary families.
“Thank you for the reminder, teacher.”
Su Yu thanked him but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t appropriate to say anything with a Civilization Master present.
“Just knowing is enough, I’ll leave first!”
Old Xie was a little regretful, but straightforward, and quickly left.
The others didn’t linger either and left one after another.
In the end, only Huang Sheng and a staff member from Nanyuan remained in the house.
After they left, Huang Sheng smiled, “Su Yu, you won’t regret your choice! Ninety-nine percent of the geniuses in Great Xia Prefecture will choose to come to the Great Xia Civilization Academy. Here, strong individuals compete, monsters run rampant, and on the path of the Great Dao, there is a group of equally monstrous geniuses who will progress alongside you. You won’t be alone on the path of the strong…”
Huang Sheng said, feeling sentimental himself, “Here, you can witness the rise of heroes, you can see the decline of geniuses. In a few years, you will be proud to be classmates with someone, and others may be proud to be your classmate or teacher!”
“Some of you will become the center of attention among the myriad races, and some will fall early and turn to dust… The Great Xia Civilization Academy witnesses everything, experiences everything, and possesses everything!”
Su Yu’s heart warmed, feeling some anticipation and rising excitement, which soon turned to calm.
These things were too far off.
“Teacher, since I’ve made my choice, I won’t regret it.”
At this moment, Su Yu was no longer naive and went straight to the point, “When will the 20 merit points for being first in the Civilization Assessment be issued? Also, I remember there was a Myriad Race Thousand Pound Realm cultivation technique original for being first in Nanyuan, when will that be issued?”
Su Yu quickly said, “Also, there should be other benefits for being a top-notch student, right? It can’t be that there’s nothing? Can the teacher tell me about it?”
Huang Sheng didn’t mind and smiled, “Teacher Liu didn’t force you to go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy… it was your own decision, right?”
“Yes.”
Su Yu nodded, “I want to go further, so I will naturally choose the Great Xia Civilization Academy. Although Nine Heavens and Wen Dao will offer better benefits, those are short-term gains. The Great Xia Civilization Academy is for the long term.”
“Smart!”
Huang Sheng smiled, “Then let’s get straight to the point. The merit points can be sent to you this afternoon, including the rewards from the War Academy. The Yuan Qi liquid merit points will be sent to you soon.”
“As for after enrollment, top-notch students definitely have extra benefits…”
Huang Sheng said seriously, “After enrollment, a reward of 100 merit points, a free observation of a Willpower Text, a free entry into the ‘Yuan’ Treasure Realm once, and a free entry into the ‘War’ Treasure Realm once!”
Su Yu knew about these two places, Bai Feng had mentioned them.
The third and fourth generation Prefects both left behind a manifested divine script, forming a small world, which are these two treasured realms.
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, “What if there are only upper and lower grades?”
“Then there will only be 100 merit points as a reward.” Huang Sheng smiled, “Upper-middle grade, plus one chance to enter the secret realm, upper-upper grade plus another one! Such opportunities are rare, and the secret realm opportunities given by academies like the Nine Heavens Academy are far inferior to ours.”
Su Yu nodded, this was more like the style of the strongest academy.
Your three or five chances to enter the secret realm are not as good as my one!
Academy students with upper and lower grades don’t even have this opportunity, take it or leave it, only those with upper-middle or upper-upper grades have a chance to enter.
“Then these two great treasure realms…”
“You’ll know once you go to the academy!”
As he spoke, Huang Sheng became somewhat serious and said, “I suggest you use the Yuan Character Treasure Realm opportunity after you enroll, no, use it at the peak of the ninth level of Opening Yuan! It’s extremely helpful for you to break through to Thousand Pound Realm, breaking through in the treasure realm with Thousand Pound Realm aperture opening and body forging is even better!”
“Of course, this is usually chosen by students whose willpower has reached the Nourishing Nature stage, but you’re still early, and there may be opportunities later. Quickly converting it into combat power will also benefit you. Choose what to do yourself.”
Su Yu nodded, “Teacher, can I ask another unrelated question?”
“Ask.”
“I heard that the academy is going to open a Ten Thousand Races Training Institute this year, is that true?”
“It’s true.”
Huang Sheng nodded, then said in a deep voice, “This matter was planned a long time ago, and it was even implemented once in the middle, but it was eventually abandoned, the reasons for which are more complicated.”
“Did the Prefect destroy their clan?”
“It’s not that simple!” Huang Sheng shook his head, “What you heard should be what Instructor Liu told you, the actual situation is more complicated, of course, you don’t need to understand, it’s already in the past.”
Huang Sheng said and then added, “This time is different, this time the Great Xia Prefecture also defaults to it. Marquis Xia opened his mouth like a lion, extorting a large amount of resources from the Ten Thousand Races, this time there can be no more trouble, otherwise the credibility of the Great Xia Prefecture will be lost. Last time the Great Xia Prefecture didn’t recognize it, it was considered a private contact by the academy, there was an excuse when something happened at that time, but this time it won’t work…”
“What I mean by telling you this is that if you encounter students from the Ten Thousand Races in the academy, normal competition is fine, rivalry is also fine, and even if you have the ability to stimulate the other party to a death battle, that’s allowed! But… don’t use any means outside the rules.”
Huang Sheng said with a smile, “Actually, it doesn’t have much to do with you, mainly those few freaks… Some people haven’t suffered a loss, and once they do, they react greatly, coupled with a group of people around them who are not clear-headed instigating them, they end up causing big trouble in private.”
Su Yu understood, the so-called causing trouble in private is nothing more than using some special means, or even assassinations.
That would be a breach of trust for the Great Xia Prefecture.
It really has nothing to do with Su Yu, even if he really suffers a loss, he can’t find a large family to rely on, and these means won’t be used.
However, Su Yu heard the subtext and said heavily, “Are the Ten Thousand Races students stronger than the freaks?”
“There are definitely some.”
Huang Sheng didn’t take it seriously and said, “It’s normal, after all, some races don’t judge age according to the human race’s age. Some races cultivate for hundreds of years before they are considered adults, so how do you calculate it? Most human race students are teenagers, there’s no way to compare. Some races even start at the Thousand Pound or Ten Thousand Stone realm, so how do you calculate that?”
“Do the Ten Thousand Races also have Civilization Masters?”
“You could say that, of course, they don’t call them Civilization Masters, they have all sorts of weird names… some call them mages, some call them demon masters, some call them warlocks…”
Huang Sheng smiled and said, “Civilization Master is just the human race’s name, even among the human race, it’s actually not the same. Some Civilization Masters call themselves Divine Script Masters, some like to call themselves Explorers, and some call themselves Collectors, Modifiers, Destroyers… there are all sorts of names, so you don’t need to worry too much about them.”
Su Yu nodded again, vaguely understanding that the different names may indicate different paths.
“Will we clash with the Ten Thousand Races students after we enter the academy?”
“Both sides should restrain themselves and try not to be in the same area. In fact, they shouldn’t be assigned to the main area to avoid disputes.”
“What will the academy do if there are disputes?”
Huang Sheng glanced at him and smiled, “You keep asking about this, are you planning to make trouble for the Ten Thousand Races?”
“No, I’m just worried that there will be conflicts, who knows if they will deliberately cause trouble.”
“Don’t worry about that, this is the Great Xia Prefecture, the Ten Thousand Races spent a great price to send people here, but if they send idiots, people who actively cause trouble… if you can invite the other party to a life-and-death arena and kill them, then so be it…”
Huang Sheng smiled and said, “If they’re killed and no one claims their bodies, it doesn’t matter if you chop them up and add them to the Ten Thousand Races students’ meals. Don’t get any ideas because of the Ten Thousand Races Training Institute, rest assured, they will be much more low-key than you think.”
“Understood!”
Su Yu asked about these things in general. In the end, Huang Sheng recommended several researchers to him, asking him to consider changing a teacher. Bai Feng’s strength was too poor, and Huang Sheng told Su Yu very sincerely that Bai Feng was extremely irresponsible!

When leaving, Huang Sheng repeated again, “Bai Feng is a genius, and geniuses are very self-centered! They have to spend a lot of time cultivating, exploring secret realms, seeking treasures, and competing, and they don’t have time to teach students. Finding a mature and prudent teacher is better for you newcomers.”
“Bai Feng also has many opponents in the academy. Among the younger generation in the academy, Bai Feng is not considered a leader, but he has some disputes with Xia Yuwen and others. Now that Old Hong has gone to the Heavens Battlefield, he himself may be in danger next, you need to think carefully.”
“In danger?”
This time, Su Yu heard something else and quickly said, “What does in danger mean, can the academy still kill people?”
“Not killing people…”
Huang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said, “Some things are more painful than killing someone. Canceling genius treatment, downgrading ratings, preventing entry into secret realms, restricting resources, canceling some important qualifications… Su Yu, since you have chosen the Civilization Academy, you must know that all of this is unavoidable.”
“The academy cultivates geniuses, strong individuals, survival of the fittest!”
“If you cultivate peacefully, like me… as an ordinary teaching assistant, no one will make things difficult for you, it’s not worth their time! But if you want to compete, some things are limited…”
Huang Sheng sighed, “For example, the blood of gods and demons, who wouldn’t want to use it to forge their body? I want to too, but I dare not compete, because I definitely can’t win, I can only honestly use the blood essence of some weaker races to forge my body, at this time no one will pay attention to me. But if I want to compete, do you think others will let you get it easily?”
“You reap what you sow! The strong become stronger! It’s not that everyone is targeting you, but that you don’t have the ability, so don’t go grabbing things beyond your capabilities, that will only cause trouble for yourself.”
Huang Sheng spoke very sincerely, at middle age, although reaching the Skyflight realm is impressive to others, he knows his own situation. If Huang Sheng really had the ability, why would he come to Nanyuan to be a chief examiner, just to earn that little merit, spending several days, is it worth it?
Bai Feng, Liu Hong, and others are beyond his reach.
If it weren’t for that, why would he flatter Liu Hong and do things for him?
They’re all in the Skyflight realm, who’s afraid of who?
The key is, it’s not worth it, it’s unnecessary, and he can’t afford to offend them.
At this moment, Su Yu seemed to see swords and shadows, the Civilization Academy is not peaceful… no, all academies are like this!
If you don’t have that value, why should they cultivate you!
“Then is Teacher Bai in danger?”
“I can’t judge that, but Bai Feng reaching the seventh level of Skyflight probably has some other ideas. He will definitely try his best to fight for some things he wouldn’t have fought for in the past. At that time, his opponents will not be Liu Hong and the others, but another group of people, stronger than Liu Hong.”
“Liu Hong?”
Su Yu muttered, Huang Sheng smiled and said, “Bai Feng’s old rival, you’ll know when you get to the academy, but recently Bai Feng broke through, and he’s still at the sixth level of Skyflight, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
“Understood, thank you teacher!”
“You’re welcome!”
Huang Sheng accepted Liu Hong’s benefits and created a little trouble for Su Yu during the assessment. After the assessment… then he naturally had to smooth things over, so as not to cause trouble later, and Bai Feng was not someone he could afford to offend.
The way of survival, these people know how to survive better than geniuses.
“By the way, it’s best not to involve others in the competition between you and Wu Lan, and don’t think about using other means to deal with her… the Wu family is very strong, even Bai Feng can’t afford to provoke her sister…”
Huang Sheng left, Su Yu scratched his head, and after a long while, he said, “Competition?”
He thought for a long time, but there was no such thing!
I never thought about competing with that fool, how did Huang Sheng see that they had a competition?
Su Yu shook his head, Huang Sheng probably misunderstood. Wu Lan… in his eyes, an immature child, even more foolish than Chen Hao, how can there be any competition with this kind of person? It’s too easy to deal with her, maybe a few words and this person will go find those monsters to fight to the death.
“It’s enough to crush them in intelligence, who would resort to violence?”
Su Yu closed the door and muttered, Huang Sheng really underestimated him, Su Yu is not stupid.
