After chatting with Zhou Hui for a while, Su Yu and the other newcomers gained a general understanding of the academy’s situation.

Although it was just basic information, it eased the new students’ anxiety.

As for the widely rumored infighting within the academy, Zhou Hui mentioned that it was irrelevant to them.

In other words, they weren’t qualified to participate!

Outsiders claimed the academy’s power struggles were brutal, but that was aimed at the strong, at geniuses; the mediocre… were not worthy!

Su Yu noticed that Zhou Hui even seemed a little envious when she said that.

“Struggles? If I were actually targeted, I’d die laughing!”

At that moment, Zhou Hui seemed genuinely envious.

Being targeted in a power struggle meant you were a genius, a monster, a powerhouse, someone of great value!

If you lacked that value, no one in the academy would bother with you.

Who would waste time on a mediocre person!

Geniuses, monsters, and powerhouses were too busy to waste time on the mediocre; they wouldn’t even bother to suppress someone who wasn’t qualified.

So, according to Zhou Hui, if you ever felt the atmosphere of struggle in the academy, congratulations, you’d become an important figure!

That also represented power, strength, merit, and influence!

Zhou Hui’s words suddenly enlightened Su Yu.

He felt like a fog had been lifted!

He had been stuck in a rut. Even after coming to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, Su Yu was still somewhat dissatisfied with the power struggles, feeling they shouldn’t be happening, especially when it created a sense of pressure for the new students.

But now, after Zhou Hui’s explanation, he understood. It wasn’t that the academy was involving students in the power struggles, but… that he was too outstanding!

Outstanding people, whether students or not, would inevitably be drawn in.

Merit points, cultivation techniques, resources—geniuses wanted a lot, and powerhouses wanted even more. If they wanted so much, would it just fall from the sky if they didn’t fight for it?

If he were like Zhou Hui and the others, only needing a few dozen or a hundred merit points over several years, who would think he was asking for too much?

But could Su Yu be satisfied with so few merit points?

After all, Su Yu had already used seventy or eighty merit points recently!

…

Back in his room, Su Yu quietly thought for a while and felt enlightened.

A faint smile appeared on his face. Thinking about things from a different perspective yielded different results.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yu stopped dwelling on it.

He picked up the “Great Xia Civilization Academy General Handbook” and started reading.

…

Academy Section.

The academy was mainly divided into eight areas:

Instructional Area, Commercial Area, Residential Area, New Student Area, Secret Realm Area, Lecture Area, Meditation Pavilion, and Retirement Area.

The New Student Area was where Su Yu was currently staying, responsible for welcoming new students and accommodating visiting parents.

The Lecture Area was where powerful individuals might give public lectures. If you were lucky, you might witness a powerful figure writing an article of will or explaining other confidential knowledge, all for free.

The Meditation Pavilion was where the core members of the academy resided.

The Retirement Area was for actual retirement. Many of the academy’s old students lived there, forming a self-contained community and a massive system within the academy.

As for the other areas, their meanings could be understood from their names.

The Great Xia Civilization Academy was vast. According to the introduction, it was even larger than Nanyuan’s main urban area!

It also had a large population!

Nearly 20,000 students under the age of 30!

These were considered the academy’s new generation of students. In the path of cultivation, ten years wasn’t a long time, so those under 30 still had great potential.

There were also nearly 10,000 students between 30 and 50 years old, and nearly 20,000 over 50!

Those over 50 were considered to have almost exhausted their potential and were unlikely to manifest their will.

Liu Wenyan’s manifestation was an exception, or rather, few had that opportunity. It was very rare.

In total, the academy had nearly 50,000 students!

Many of the students over 30 were married with children. Adding in family members, academy staff, instructors, researchers…

The entire academy had nearly 100,000 people!

It was an extremely large scale!

Many of the shops in the Commercial Area were run by family members of academy students, instructors, or researchers.

These people were inseparable from the academy.

“100,000 people…”

Su Yu was shocked by this number.

One academy, 100,000 people!

Nanyuan was said to have a million people, but a large portion lived outside the city. Including villages, towns, and those who had left Nanyuan, it reached a million.

Only about 300,000 actually lived in the main city.

The Great Xia Civilization Academy was just an academy, not a city, yet it had 100,000 people.

It was practically a small city!

Su Yu briefly looked at the Academy Section and quickly turned to the People Section.

…

“People Section: Head of Academy Section”

Head of Academy: Wan Tiansheng.

Sixth generation Head of the Great Xia Civilization Academy.

Strength: Unknown

According to rumors, the Head of Academy took office 50 years ago, at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm, when he was 48 years old.

The introduction to Wan Tiansheng was brief. Su Yu learned that the Head of Academy was actually 98 years old, almost a centenarian.

And 50 years ago, he was already at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

What about now?

No one knew!

Wan Tiansheng had been in the academy for 50 years, rarely taking action. No one knew his strength, and even if they did, the students wouldn’t be able to know.

Once someone reached the Mountain and Sea Realm, the human race’s information was kept vague to confuse the enemy.

“That’s right, without that strength, he couldn’t have become the Head of Academy 50 years ago.”

Su Yu wasn’t too surprised. Wan Tiansheng was able to become the Head of Academy 50 years ago, even considered a savior, so he must have had the strength.

He might have reached the top tier now. As for the legendary Invincible Realm, Su Yu didn’t dare to think about it.

…

“People Section: Deputy Head of Academy Section”

The Great Xia Civilization Academy has three Deputy Heads of Academy.

First Deputy Head of Academy: Zhou Mingren (Peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm)
Second Vice-Prefect: Xia Changqing (Peak of Mountain Sea Realm)

Third Vice-Prefect: Su Ziming (Peak of Mountain Sea Realm)

Not much introduction about the three vice-prefects, their strength is all based on speculation. The only one with a bit more information is probably Xia Changqing, a member of the Xia family, the Xia of Great Xia Prefecture.

The following are senior researchers, not all listed, just a brief introduction of a few well-known ones.

Su Yu saw a familiar name!

Senior Researcher: Hong Tan

He had learned that this was Bai Feng’s teacher and Liu Wenyan’s junior brother.

“Hong Tan, senior researcher of Divine Script Dao in the academy, eighth level of Mountain Sea Realm, specializes in the fusion of divine scripts, vice president of the Divine Script Academy.”

The president is concurrently held by Zhou Mingren, the First Vice-Prefect, which Su Yu had seen in the introduction before.

The Divine Script Academy is the main base of the Divine Script lineage.

However, the introduction also said that Hong Tan rarely gets involved in matters. In recent years, he has only accepted Bai Feng as a student and hasn’t shown up much since then.

He continued to look down and saw another person.

Senior Researcher: Wu Yuehua

“Wu Yuehua, senior researcher of Divine Pill Dao, eighth level of Mountain Sea Realm, specializes in pill refining.”

The introduction is also very simple, but there is an additional sentence at the end, “Grand-aunt of the genius teaching assistant Wu Qi.”

Wu Qi!

Su Yu knows this person, Wu Lan’s elder sister, a genius of the academy. Many people previously compared Wu Qi and Bai Feng, the meaning is very clear, Bai Feng is not as good as Wu Qi.

“The Wu family!”

Su Yu exhaled softly. No wonder Wu Lan is so confident. She actually has a grand-aunt in the eighth level of Mountain Sea Realm. It would be strange if she wasn’t confident!

If Su Yu had such a backer, he would also be confident.

Su Yu scanned the senior researchers and then flipped to the intermediate researchers.

“Zhao Li, intermediate researcher of Weapon Forging Dao, specializes in weapon forging, seventh level of Soaring Cloud Realm, a master-level figure in the weapon forging department, with a strange personality.”

“Strange?”

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, not feeling much about it. However, Zhao Li is ranked very high among the intermediate researchers, in the top three, which is actually a bit beyond Su Yu’s expectations. He thought that the other party was just bragging, but it seems that he is really very powerful.

He flipped through it and didn’t see any introduction of Hu Youhui.

This shows… that Researcher Hu is not outstanding among the intermediate researchers. He is also at the seventh level of Soaring Cloud Realm, but there is no introduction.

Su Yu didn’t look much at the junior researchers.

Soon, he turned the page to the assistant researchers.

“Xia Yuwen, assistant researcher, ninth level of Rising Sky Realm, member of the Xia family, first in the graduation top 100 list, the academy’s number one teaching assistant.”

“Hu Wensheng, assistant researcher, ninth level of Rising Sky Realm, second in the graduation top 100 list, the academy’s second teaching assistant.”

“Wu Qi… eighth level of Rising Sky Realm…”

“…”

“Bai Feng… seventh level of Rising Sky Realm…”

Su Yu flipped through it, and Bai Feng’s ranking among the teaching assistants was not very high, ranked eleventh.

However, several people in front of him are very old, all powerhouses in the ninth level of Rising Sky Realm.

According to Bai Feng’s own statement, if he is under 30 years old, his ranking should be in the top five.

Xia Yuwen, Hu Wensheng, Wu Qi… these few are ahead of him, and the rest are not as good as him.

“It looks like he’s really quite impressive…”

After reading the information, Su Yu understood that Bai Feng’s seventh level of Rising Sky Realm is really not bad. He is too young, and there are not many people who reach Rising Sky Realm under the age of 30.

He also saw the name of Bai Feng’s old opponent, Liu Hong.

He is also at the seventh level of Rising Sky Realm!

Ranked 14th, only slightly worse than Bai Feng.

Previously, Researcher Huang told himself that Liu Hong was still at the sixth level of Rising Sky Realm, so there was no need to worry too much, and he was not Bai Feng’s opponent. Now, looking at Liu Hong, he has also reached the seventh level of Rising Sky Realm. Su Yu was a little emotional, it seems that these geniuses are improving very fast.

Liu Hong is indeed considered a genius, if he isn’t, Bai Feng can’t be considered one either.

…………

In addition to these researchers, the most well-known of the remaining ungraduated students are the top 100 list.

The top 100 list does not include Rising Sky Realm or students over 30 years old.

The first ranked person is called Zhan Hai.

In the Nourishing Nature stage, willpower accumulation is 99%, 26 years old, walking the path of Divine Script, mastering three divine scripts, all of which are extremely powerful, the specific divine scripts are unknown, the characteristics are unknown.

Not only is he in the Nourishing Nature stage, but the warrior path is also very strong, a warrior in the ninth level of Myriad Stone Realm.

The information judges that Zhan Hai probably wants to first physically reach Rising Sky Realm, and then reach Rising Sky Realm with willpower, superimposed body casting. Of course, the hope is not too great.

If he doesn’t reach Rising Sky Realm in another year or two, then there is no hope of catching up with the Bai Feng group of monsters in front.

When you just reach Rising Sky Realm, they are already in the Soaring Cloud Realm. Your superimposed body casting is useless, and besides, they are also monsters and have their own specialties.

“Zhan Hai…”

Su Yu is just looking at those researchers, but for Zhan Hai, Su Yu doesn’t actually know him, nor does he want to know him. He just wants to know what the rewards are for being number one on the top 100 list?

…………

Soon, Su Yu saw what he wanted to see!

“Top 100 list, records 100 students under the age of 30!”

“Accumulate more than 100 merit points to challenge students on the top 100 list.”

“Each challenge costs 10 merit points. If the challenge fails, the merit points go to the challenged student! If the challenge succeeds, the merit points belong to oneself.”

“The top 100 list is divided into 10 groups, 91-100th place, monthly subsidy of 3 merit points.”

“81-90th place, 4 points per month.”

“…”

“21-30th place, monthly subsidy of 10 points.”

“11-20th place, monthly subsidy of 15 points.”

“4-10th place, monthly subsidy of 20 merit points, one original Myriad Stone Realm book.”

“Top three, monthly subsidy of 30 merit points, one original Myriad Stone Realm book, a chance to enter the secret realm for six consecutive months in the top three! One drop of God and Demon essence blood for six consecutive months as the first!”

“…”

Su Yu was stunned!

The rewards are too generous!

The top three get 30 merit points per month, and an original Myriad Stone Realm book, which is every month.

You need to know that just an original Thousand Pound Realm book costs more than 30 merit points in Nanyuan.

How many merit points does a Myriad Stone Realm book cost?

Just this alone is more than 100 points in rewards per month!
If someone can hold onto a top-three spot for half a year, they’ll get another chance to enter the Secret Realm, not to mention first place, which comes with the Blood Essence of Gods and Demons!

Su Yu shook his head. “It’s nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me. My goal is to get into the top hundred as soon as possible. That’s an extra 3 merit points a month…”

It doesn’t seem like much, but with monthly rewards, that’s 36 points a year, which isn’t a small amount.

Where else can a student in the Nurturing stage get that many merit points all at once?

Su Yu was lucky to get them before.

If he hadn’t cooperated with the Dragon Martial Guards and the City Guard, he’d only get 3 merit points for killing a single Advanced Myriad Stone, equivalent to killing one every month just to get the 3-point reward.

It’s not that easy for a Nurturing stage student to kill an Advanced Myriad Stone.

In the Great Xia Prefecture, you might not even get the chance.

Unless you leave the city and hunt down members of the Myriad Clans Sect in the wilderness, but if you leave the city, you might be the one who ends up dead.

“Strive to get into the top hundred!”

Su Yu’s gaze fell on the last person on the Top Hundred List, Lin Qing!

“You’re next!”

Lin Qing, ranked 100th on the Top Hundred List, has been in the academy for five years, is at the peak of the Nurturing stage, and is a seventh-level Myriad Stone in the Warrior Path…

Yes, even the last one is so strong!

Almost all of the top hundred are at the peak of the Nurturing stage.

A few aren’t, but their physical bodies have reached the Myriad Stone Realm, making them formidable.

The Top Hundred List can actually be seen as the Myriad Stone List of the War Academy. Without reaching Myriad Stone or possessing Myriad Stone Realm combat power, it’s impossible to make it onto the list.

“Myriad Stone combat power…”

Su Yu took a deep breath. He certainly doesn’t have it now.

Even if he consumes blood essence and unleashes the explosive power of a seventh-level Myriad Stone, combined with his divine script, he could, at most, fight with a ninth-level Myriad Stone. But once he encounters a Myriad Stone, Su Yu has seen how a Myriad Stone erupts.

A group of Advanced Myriad Stone besieging the opponent, but still suffering heavy losses, and there’s a chance of the opponent turning the tables if they’re not careful.

Su Yu interfered with the opponent for a moment at the time, and his head almost exploded.

Back then, the opponent was just a simple warrior. Students of the Civilization Academy are known for their strong willpower. Lin Qing, ranked 100th, is at the peak of the Nurturing stage, so Su Yu’s divine script interference might fail or even backfire.

In that case, he has no hope of fighting her.

“Hundredth place… I’m still a bit short. When my physical body reaches Myriad Stone, my willpower is nurtured, and my two divine scripts are stronger, then I’ll have a chance to challenge!”

Su Yu took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and cheered himself on.

It’s so hard being poor!

As for whether that Lin Qing is a woman… what does it matter? He doesn’t care about that. Girls don’t give him merit points.

The teacher is right, women are obstacles on the path of cultivation.

See, Lin Qing is the one blocking his way now.

…

At the same time.

In the residential area, the assistant teacher area.

In a small villa.

Wu Lan looked at a girl beside her, full of fighting spirit, and said, “Sister Qing, I’ll be challenging you soon, just wait for me!”

Lin Qing smiled gently and looked very soft, chuckling, “Lan Lan, you should accumulate 100 merit points first. By the time you accumulate 100 merit points, I might already be in the top fifty.”

Wu Lan clenched her small fist and said unconvinced, “It’ll be soon! Besides, I’m also in the Nurturing stage. I might reach the peak of the Nurturing stage in a while. By then, I’ll be able to take on more tasks…”

Having said that, she said with a surge of excitement, “Sister Qing, I’ve already decided. After signing up, I’ll follow the Prefecture Army out to perform missions…”

“…”

Lin Qing looked at her in surprise, then said with some trepidation, “Nonsense! You want to follow the Prefecture Army?”

“Of course!”

Wu Lan said excitedly, “This is the only way to accumulate merit points quickly. I know a guy who’s very weak, with only 20% willpower, but he followed the Wind Catching Hall on a mission and even killed a Myriad Stone, earning an extra 10 merit points, which is even more than me…”

“…”

Lin Qing looked at her and said after a long time, “I’ll tell the teacher!”

Her teacher is none other than Wu Qi.

A monstrous genius who reached the Soaring realm at the age of 20!

After reaching the Soaring realm, she became an assistant teacher. She took in Lin Qing five years ago. Now that Lin Qing has entered the Top Hundred List, not even the students of ordinary junior and intermediate researchers can cultivate a student in the Top Hundred List.

Wu Lan said dismissively, “If he can perform missions, why can’t I? I know, you all think I don’t understand anything. Why wouldn’t I understand? Experiencing life and death is also the best way to strengthen oneself!”

“Isn’t it just because you’re afraid I’ll die on a mission? If I really die, it’s fate. If my sister hadn’t gone on a mission back then, she wouldn’t have been able to reach the Soaring realm so early!”

Lin Qing tried to dissuade her, “Lan Lan, you’ve just entered the academy, and your physical body hasn’t even reached the Myriad Stone realm. Going on a mission now is just nonsense and suicide.”

“But he hasn’t reached the Myriad Stone realm either…”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Su Yu!”

Wu Lan said sulkily, “That guy from Nan Yuan, the student Assistant Teacher Bai Feng wants to take in!”

“Su Yu?”

Lin Qing muttered, then quickly said, “It’s different, Lan Lan. Students from small cities don’t value their lives in order to have a future and an opportunity. You have a high starting point, which is actually your own advantage. Why give up your strengths and compete with him in this area…”

Wu Lan frowned and said, “I don’t care. Anyway… anyway, I have to keep an eye on him! He came in first last time, and I was second. He was laughing so arrogantly. I have to get my face back. I have to get back the face I lost myself!”

Seeing this, Lin Qing didn’t say anything more, but she had made a decision in her heart to tell the teacher as soon as the teacher came out of seclusion.

She couldn’t let Wu Lan mess around!

The Wu family’s principle is not to get involved in dangerous missions until reaching the Soaring realm. Everything will be discussed after reaching the Soaring realm.

It would be a big problem if something happened to Wu Lan while on a mission.

While she was still thinking about it, Wu Lan said again, “My sister hasn’t come out of seclusion yet, so I’ll go back first. That guy is probably here too. He’s definitely cultivating in secret. I have to go back and cultivate too!”

“…”

Lin Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Did people need to cultivate in secret?

Wu Lan, on the other hand, was at odds with Su Yu.

“Don’t be so anxious, Lanlan. If you really want to make him uncomfortable, I’ll help you deal with him…”

“I don’t want that!”

Wu Lan said angrily, “I want fair competition! To defeat him! And then laugh triumphantly in front of him, making him annoyed and angry! From now on, I don’t want the family’s merit points. I want to accumulate them myself. I want to become stronger and defeat him!”

“…”

Lin Qing felt helpless and could only say it was childish.

Not wanting the family’s merit points, was that her way of proving herself?

Wu Lan was still too young, too impulsive, too naive, and had a big gap compared to her teacher.

Not to mention talent, her personality was very different.

When Wu Qi entered the academy, she was also provoked a lot. Being from the Wu family was their capital, why make things difficult for yourself because of what others say?

If Wu Qi was like Wu Lan, she wouldn’t have reached today, becoming one of the top genius teaching assistants in the academy.

Lin Qing didn’t try to persuade her anymore, she couldn’t.

She could only wait for her teacher to come out of seclusion.

This time, when her teacher comes out of seclusion, perhaps… she will reach the ninth level of Soaring!

Thinking of this, Lin Qing felt a little excited. If her teacher reaches the ninth level of Soaring, and she can quickly reach Soaring, then her teacher can become a full member, a formal researcher, and she will receive more support and cultivation.
