Chapter 78: Minor Studies | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025
After finishing his meal, Su Yu went to collect his books and clothes, and then returned to the Yangxing Garden.
People were also arriving in the neighboring rooms one after another.
At this moment, Xia Huyou seemed to have stopped being the big businessman who talked about transactions worth thousands or even tens of thousands of points. He turned around to strike up conversations and help the newcomers clean up.
…
In his room, Su Yu laid out his bedding, opened the window to ventilate the room, and sat down on the sofa, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
Everything was settled.
Tomorrow, Xia Huyou would deliver the things he needed, and then he could let go and cultivate quickly.
5 drops of Wan Shi realm blood, would the Ironwing Bird page restart?
Su Yu didn’t know.
Regardless of whether it would or not, cultivating with Wan Shi realm essence blood would definitely be faster than in the Thousand Jun realm.
Moreover, the vitality in the Great Xia Prefecture was much higher than in Nan Yuan.
Even without these aids, Su Yu felt that his cultivation speed was very fast. He hadn’t even started cultivating, but he could already feel streams of vitality being absorbed into his acupoints.
In this environment, Su Yu was certain that even without the Myriad Clan Atlas, he should have no problem reaching the sixth or seventh level of Kai Yuan realm after all these years.
Therefore, in Su Yu’s view, any student from an ordinary family in the Great Xia Prefecture who hadn’t reached the sixth or seventh level of Kai Yuan realm was showing very poor talent.
Just as Su Yu was thinking about things, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door.
Standing outside was a middle-aged man who, upon seeing Su Yu open the door, wasted no words and quickly said, “I am a member of the security team for Building 3. From now on, you are only allowed to enter and exit the dormitory yourself, and you are not allowed to bring anyone here! In addition, we are responsible for notifying you of some course announcements and process arrangements.”
“If you need cleaning, you can contact our security team, and we will arrange for someone to come to your door to clean, for 3,000 yuan a month. If you need laundry, there is a laundromat downstairs… All expenses can be settled with your Merit Card or your Academy Card.”
The middle-aged man spoke quickly, obviously not for the first time, as he was very practiced.
As soon as Su Yu heard this, his first thought was that Xia Huyou was going to go bankrupt!
His cleaning business was probably going to go bankrupt from this moment on.
They came really fast!
“Also, you freshmen have nothing to do this afternoon. You can gather downstairs at 3:00 PM, and the security team will arrange for someone to take you on a tour of the academy.”
The middle-aged man said, and then added, “Starting tomorrow, you will choose the academy you want to attend and quickly decide on your teacher.”
Building 3 was full of geniuses, and the Yangxing Garden was mostly filled with upper-class students.
Of course, there were also a few middle-class students.
They were all in the Yangxing stage, but their divine runes might not have been fully outlined, and they didn’t score high enough on the assessment to enter the upper class.
“Okay, I understand.”
Su Yu thanked him, and the middle-aged man didn’t say much, quickly starting to knock on the next door.
Before long, Su Yu heard someone shouting loudly in the corridor, “The cleaning provided by the security team is a waste of time! You need to apply and wait for someone to be arranged. If you’re in the room, you have to wait an hour or two, is it fun to spend an hour or two with a stranger?”
“Find me, and I’ll solve the problem within five minutes! And I’ll clean better than them, with no dead spots!”
“It’s a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you subscribe monthly, you can get a discount, and it’s even cheaper if you subscribe yearly!”
“…”
In the room, Su Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like this guy didn’t want to give up and was still trying to struggle.
But, to be honest, there might be some rich people who would be willing to hire him.
But it was really a bit expensive. If it were in the high-class or special-class areas, those rich students would probably be willing to hire him, because he cleaned up really quickly.
Those rich people wouldn’t care about the money.
If they did, would they spend 100 merit points to live in the special-class area?
…
Ignoring Xia Huyou, Su Yu continued to read the “Great Xia Academy General Handbook” in his room.
When it was almost 3:00 PM, Su Yu went downstairs.
…
Downstairs.
Many students had arrived. A middle-aged man in his forties appeared and introduced himself, “My name is Chen Feng, and I am the leader of the security team for Building 3. This afternoon, I will be taking you around to familiarize you with the academy.”
Su Yu’s heart tensed. Chen Feng also gave him the feeling of a dazzling light spot.
Vitality gathered around him, very dazzling. This was a sign of being above the Wan Shi realm.
Wan Shi realm?
Or even stronger?
The security team, which was essentially just security guards guarding a building, actually employed someone in the Wan Shi realm?
Su Yu sensed it, and the other students naturally sensed it too.
They were almost all in the Yangxing stage. Their strength might not be strong, but their perception was much stronger than that of warriors.
Among the students, someone asked, “What is Leader Chen’s strength? I’m a little curious, can you tell us?”
Chen Feng glanced at the students and smiled, “Wan Shi seventh level. There are a total of five people in the security team for Building 3, including me, there are four in the Wan Shi realm. We belong to the Yangxing Garden Guard, and there are a total of three hundred-man teams in the Yangxing Garden. The academy values you very much, so the strength of the Yangxing Garden Guard is stronger than in other places.”
This place was full of geniuses!
The academy considered the Yangxing Garden to be the most critical, second only to some important secret realms.
If anyone were to wipe out the Yangxing Garden, then the Civilization Academy would have lost its inheritance.
Because all the upper-class geniuses would be finished!
Wan Shi seventh level, leading a team to guard a building, this treatment was unimaginable in Nan Yuan.
Chen Feng didn’t say much about this, and looked at the time, “That’s all for now, the other students may already be familiar with the academy. Follow me, don’t run around.”
…
Not many students followed Chen Feng to familiarize themselves with the academy, less than 50 in total.
Su Yu didn’t know how many people lived in Building 3, but if it was full, it would be 120 people.
Xia Huyou was not seen in the crowd.
That guy was familiar with this place, so he probably didn’t want to come this time.
“The academy has eight major areas, those of you who have read the general handbook should know. Today, I will mainly take you to familiarize yourselves with the teaching area, the preaching area, and the secret realm area.”
“The Yangxing Garden belongs to the residential area, and outside the Yangxing Garden is the ordinary student residential area…”
Chen Feng didn’t have the potential of a tour guide, and his introductions were very brief.
After leaving the Cultivation Garden, you enter the teaching area.
The teaching area is vast, with many buildings.
The Scripture Pavilion and the library are both in the teaching area. Chen Feng only led them to take a look from downstairs and didn’t go inside, as it’s a paid area.
Besides Su Yu and his group, there were other teams also observing the academy.
They were likely all freshmen this year.
Soon, Chen Feng led everyone to an old building. At this moment, people were coming and going. Chen Feng turned his head and said, “Some may already know what this place is. This is the Hundred Strong Building!”
“The academy has specially dedicated a building to serve the top 100 students!”
“They take on missions, cultivate, challenge… all in this building!”
Chen Feng smiled and said, “The students’ biggest dream is to enter this building and become a part of it. Being a top 100 student is a different concept from being a regular student. Of the last year’s top 100 students, a full 16 entered the Soaring Realm this June!”
Chen Feng sighed, “This shows how authoritative the Hundred Strong List is! This year’s top 100 students, I’m afraid quite a few will be able to graduate next year.”
Su Yu was a little puzzled and asked, “Leader Chen, is the Hundred Strong List compiled annually?”
“No.”
Chen Feng shook his head and smiled, “The Hundred Strong List is updated once a month. The 16 graduates I mentioned may not have graduated at the same time. We calculate based on the annual Hundred Strong List, for example, by next year, we’ll count the Hundred Strong List student list from July of this year to June of next year to see how many students have graduated.”
“On the 3rd of each month, the Hundred Strong List is re-compiled, updated, and released. Students who are not on the list can choose to challenge students on the list between the 3rd and the 25th. After the 25th, the top 100 students no longer accept challenges.”
Next to Su Yu, a thin, tall student asked, “Leader Chen, I heard that it costs 10 merit points to challenge, isn’t that a bit expensive?”
“To make you a bit more self-aware!”
Chen Feng said indifferently, “Without a bit of self-awareness, you keep challenging the top 100 students, don’t the top 100 students need to cultivate? Losing once costs 10 merit points, to teach you a lesson! If you have money, you can challenge ten times a day, and someone will agree to it!”
This is a threshold. Win, and you get the merit points back; lose, and they’re gone.
This is to prevent some students from constantly challenging without any self-awareness, and the top 100 students wouldn’t be able to cultivate at all.
The thin, tall student asked again, “Do we have to start challenging from 100th place?”
“No, you can challenge 91-100. If you defeat them and get on the list, then you can challenge the 10 above them, and so on. If you want to challenge the top ten, you have to get into the top twenty yourself!”
After saying that, Chen Feng added, “The Hundred Strong List is actually a martial strength ranking. The academy has some other lists, you can try them out, you don’t necessarily have to challenge the Hundred Strong List. Before graduating from the Civilization Academy, combat power isn’t the only standard.”
The Hundred Strong List mainly looks at combat power.
Some students probably don’t have much combat power before they graduate, which is unfair to them. Some focus on pills or weapon forging, and their combat power is very weak in the early stages.
At this time, a young man with a buzz cut walked out of the building, striding confidently and looking straight ahead, not looking at Chen Feng’s group.
Chen Feng hurriedly stepped aside and said in a low voice, “Don’t block the way!”
Everyone stepped aside, and the buzz-cut youth didn’t even look at them, but soon left the area.
“A student in the top ten!”
After he left, Chen Feng said, “Jiang Mu, ranked sixth, is very strong, Myriad Stone sixth level, Cultivation Peak.”
As he spoke, he mocked himself, “Don’t think his physical realm is only Myriad Stone sixth level. If I were to fight him, I wouldn’t last 30 seconds.”
The crowd was slightly shocked. Chen Feng was Myriad Stone seventh level, which was considered strong.
In the late Myriad Stone stage, meeting Jiang Mu wouldn’t even last 30 seconds.
This was what he said himself, not something others spread, and Chen Feng didn’t seem to be flattering.
A student hurriedly asked, “Leader Chen, what is the strength of Zhan Hai, ranked first?”
“Zhan Hai?”
Chen Feng smiled and said, “You guys, be more down-to-earth, don’t think about Zhan Hai yet. He once fought against someone in the Soaring Realm and didn’t lose.”
Didn’t lose!
Then he won?
The crowd didn’t know if he won or tied, but they were all a little shocked. This was a genius who could fight against someone in the Soaring Realm.
In the crowd, someone said enviously, “Then our goal is the Hundred Strong Building. I hope we can get in soon.”
“…”
Chen Feng smiled and didn’t discourage them.
How many students are there in the academy?
There are tens of thousands of people under the age of 30!
Only a hundred make the list!
Generally, students enter at the age of 18, which means that the Hundred Strong List gathers students from 12 sessions.
Some top geniuses have naturally already soared into the sky these years.
But some ordinary geniuses from 12 years ago are now terrifyingly strong.
Under normal circumstances, even a top-tier genius would have to enter the academy for three years before having a chance to break into the Hundred Strong List, and that’s only the top batch of them.
“Don’t underestimate the students on the Hundred Strong List. Even the last one has a combat power close to the peak of Myriad Stone third level!”
Chen Feng reminded, “The top 50 all have the strength of Myriad Stone fifth or sixth level, the top 30 are even close to the strength of Myriad Stone seventh level or above, and the top ten can be considered at the peak of Myriad Stone!”

As soon as these words came out, the students were a little disheartened.
Even the last one is close to the middle stage of Myriad Stone, the Hundred Strong List is indeed difficult to get on.
“Let’s not look at the Hundred Strong Building anymore, I’ll take you to see the periphery of the Secret Realm area. You can’t enter the inside yet…”
Chen Feng led everyone away from the Hundred Strong Building, and many people kept looking back.
Most of them are top-tier geniuses, so they naturally have some ambition.
No one is willing to be mediocre!
…………
They didn’t see anything in the Secret Realm area, they could only walk around the periphery and couldn’t enter the inside.
Su Yu’s biggest feeling was that there were really many strong people!
On the road, they met some researchers, all of whom were light spots, stinging him so that he didn’t dare to use his willpower to explore anymore. Before he could even explore, his willpower showed signs of collapse.
The researchers at the Civilization Academy are at least at the Soaring realm.
As for the Ten Thousand Races Training Institute, Su Yu and the others didn’t get to go, nor did they see any students from the Ten Thousand Races.
They weren’t in the same residential area as Su Yu and the others, but closer to the faculty housing area. Obviously, the academy was also worried about problems arising, so they arranged them there.
That place was truly filled with experts, with a large number of Soaring realm experts and above. Anyone who dared to cause trouble there would instantly have hundreds of Soaring realm experts rushing over to kill them.
…………
After wandering around for more than an hour, Su Yu and the others finally returned to the residential building.
In the evening, Su Yu ate something simple and began to cultivate and read.
In the academy, everything depended on strength.
Earning merit points required strength, obtaining resources required strength, and even showing off required strength… Without strength, you were nothing.
Chen Feng, a Myriad Stone seventh level expert, actively yielded to Jiang Mu, ranked sixth on the rankings, being even more cautious than he would be towards ordinary researchers.
Researchers generally don’t care about these things, but hot-blooded young students might clash with you.
Chen Feng and others were very experienced, so they were generally more cautious when encountering these students than they were when dealing with researchers. This was another reason why the top 100 ranked students were envied; they had too much face.
At this moment, Su Yu had no more Yuan Qi liquid. The only thing left was a drop of essence blood, which he didn’t use recklessly.
That night, he mainly read.
He read “Thunder Yuan Blade.”
Su Yu had already mastered the second blade technique and was now looking at the third.
Unfortunately, as time passed, the third blade technique seemed to have lost a lot of its mystique.
As for the fourth blade… Su Yu could barely see a little mystique, but after the fifth blade, he really couldn’t see anything at all. It seemed no different from an ordinary book.
“Thunder Yuan Blade Third Blade—Thunderstorm!”
“Requires opening 16 acupoints to cultivate.”
Currently, Su Yu had already opened 12 acupoints for the Thunder Yuan Blade and needed to open 4 more.
Su Yu was just looking and didn’t plan to cultivate it.
Opening 4 acupoints for the Thunder Yuan Blade to master the third blade technique was not as good as opening the remaining 3 acupoints of the “God of War Technique.” If he didn’t cultivate the genius version, he could soon advance to the Thousand Jun realm.
A Thousand Jun realm expert using the second blade technique would be much stronger than an Opening Origin realm expert using the third.
“I need to look at it a few more times. If I don’t, this thing will be useless.”
Su Yu felt a little distressed. Bai Feng’s “Opening Origin Technique” was already useless, and if the “Thunder Yuan Blade” became useless too, it would be a huge loss.
That night, Su Yu kept reading.
The third blade technique seemed a little troublesome, but it was also a kind of willpower contest, an excellent way to cultivate willpower.
Before reaching the Soaring realm, they couldn’t cultivate the Civilization Academy’s “Ten Thousand Texts Classic.”
Su Yu’s willpower was now nearly 30% full, much stronger than when he met Bai Feng.
All of this was related to the original Thousand Jun realm cultivation technique fragment, as well as his constant contemplation of the “Opening Origin Technique” and the “Thunder Yuan Blade.”
Once he reached the Nurturing Nature stage, his strength would have a leap.
At that time, the power of his divine script would greatly increase.
…………
Just as Su Yu was constantly contemplating the “Thunder Yuan Blade.”
The Faculty Building was brightly lit.
Discussions were constant.
“This year, our Divine Pill Department should get a few monstrous geniuses, right?”
“We can’t keep sending people to the Willpower Academy and the Divine Literature Academy every year!”
“Yes, our departments are about to be abandoned. They send us mediocre and lower-tier students, while the top-tier and monstrous students all become students of those two major academies. If this continues, we’ll be cut off from our inheritance sooner or later!”
With the new students entering the academy, the various departments were also anxious.
According to past practice, monstrous geniuses and top-tier geniuses mostly chose the Divine Literature Academy and the Willpower Academy.
A lack of successors was the disadvantage of other departments.
Although new students entered the academy every year, these students were snatched away by those two major academies every year, which made them very dissatisfied, but they couldn’t stop it.
The meeting was not chaired by Wan Tiansheng, but by the Third Deputy Academy Head, Su Ziming.
At this moment, the old man also had a headache, watching the researchers around him arguing noisily. He slapped the table and shouted, “Be quiet for a moment!”
“Top-tier students are free to choose. It’s not like we can force them to go to whichever department we want!”
“The Divine Literature and Willpower Academies can recruit so many people because of their ability. If you don’t stand out yourselves, what can I do?”
Su Ziming said with some dissatisfaction, “All of you only know how to cultivate in seclusion and stay in the research institute! The Divine Literature and Willpower Academies send people to recruit top-tier students every year. What about you? You don’t care, and you expect the students to choose you?”
“In the next two days, the students will decide on their departments. You need to find a way to recruit them yourselves! If you mess around again… then your departments will be abolished sooner or later. We might as well merge into a few major academies!”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately said, “Old Su, there’s nothing we can do! Divine script and willpower are very obvious in terms of strength. Take our Divine Pill Department, for example. We display enough pills, and they’re strong enough, but what do the students think?”
The old man who spoke said dejectedly, “Their idea is, it’s too expensive! When I become stronger, I’ll earn more merit points, and I’ll buy pills like that too! There are hardly any guys who want to refine pills themselves!”
Everyone laughed. Over there, a strong man also said angrily, “Our Beast Taming Academy is the same. No matter how powerful the beasts we display, those little brats think, when we have money in the future, we’ll let the Beast Taming Academy provide us with some powerful beasts. No one wants to cultivate them themselves!”
“The Divine Rune Academy is the same. They think the same way: it’s fine to buy them. Why cultivate this kind of one-time use divine script…”
Everyone was very dissatisfied!
The elder of the Divine Pill Academy then said, “This is all related to the Xia Clan Merchant Guild! They even do business in the academy, secretly trading, black market buying and selling, resource liberalization, giving the students the impression that with money, I can buy anything!”
“I suggest a crackdown!”
The old man said sternly, “Right now, while the new students are just entering, let’s have a crackdown! Let all these black market transactions disappear from the academy! Strictly enforce the merit level system, let them know that money can’t buy these resources!”
“Otherwise, if this continues, besides the major combat academies, the other academies will be finished!”
“That’s right, we must have a crackdown!”
Someone immediately echoed, “Focusing on the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce, wipe out the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce’s black market transactions, eliminate all black markets in the academy, and raise the prices of divine pills, divine talismans, and mounts, supplying them all to the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce. I want to see if they still think they can do whatever they want with money!”
“Good, increase the supply prices! Make the students have to find ways to be self-sufficient!”
Su Ziming, seeing their faces flushed, said helplessly, “Increase the supply prices? With the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce’s character, won’t they just pass it on to the students in the end?”
“That’s right, it’s to make the students feel the pain, to make black market transactions unprofitable, forcing them to exchange at the academy. When they lack merit points and their merit level isn’t high enough, our major academies can introduce internal student purchase prices, and naturally, students will switch to our academies!”
The old man from the Divine Pill Department laughed, “Our academy’s students get an 80% discount on divine pill purchases. Do you think students will flock in?”
“…”
Everyone chimed in, agreeing with the old man’s idea.
Su Ziming had a headache and said after a long while, “Cracking down on black market transactions is fine, internal purchase prices are fine, but forcing students to come to you like this, their bodies might be here, but their hearts won’t be…”
After considering it, Su Ziming said, “Recently, I’ve been suggesting to the Dean that students can minor in a second department!”
Su Ziming said in a deep voice, “Besides combat, it’s good for students to have a skill set. The academy opening the function of minoring in a second department will make the students more versatile and capable…”
As soon as these words came out, many people’s eyes flickered. Someone said, “Elder Su, the topic of minoring in a second department isn’t being brought up for the first time! But there have been experiences before where minoring caused many students to expend a lot of energy, leading to them falling behind on both sides. How is this problem solved?”
Cultivation is a time-consuming endeavor. Having an additional skill is good, but it’s highly likely to cause them to fall behind in both.
Su Ziming laughed, “For now, it’s only open to top students. Top students have strong talent, good aptitude, and more resources. In this way, they’ll have more energy to put into both their major and minor courses.”
“As for the middle and lower students, you don’t lack them. Isn’t what you want the top students?”
Su Ziming laughed, “If that’s the case, how about temporarily opening it only to top students?”
Everyone exchanged glances, and soon someone said, “Then, will the minoring students also be considered our students?”
“Yes!”
“Will they also be counted as academy achievements?”
“Yes!”
“Can the researchers in the minoring academy take disciples?”
Many people’s eyes lit up, and they quickly said, “They generally have a teacher for their major courses. Can they also have a teacher for their minor courses?”
Su Ziming raised his eyebrows, “If you don’t mind, then there’s no problem! A student can only choose one course to minor in.”
Having said that, he continued, “Students from your academy can also choose minor courses in other academies. I know that many students in the Divine Pill and Divine Talisman academies want to switch to other departments.”
Everyone nodded, and someone said uncertainly, “Elder Su, will Dean Wan agree?”
“He will!”
Su Ziming said, “The academy is also constantly trying to reform, and some old rules may not be suitable for the current academy! The failure of the minor rule in the past was mainly because there weren’t as many genius students as there are now, the academy’s resources weren’t as extensive as they are now, and there were fewer people at that time, so the final effect wasn’t good.”
“It’s different now…”
Su Ziming said, “The collision of different systems may allow students to progress faster, draw inferences, and know more. You must know that the academy hasn’t produced anyone above the Mountain and Sea Realm for so many years!”
Su Ziming sighed, “We are also reviewing whether it is because we are too specialized in one field, which has led to this situation. In the past, we could still produce people above the Mountain and Sea Realm, and most of those people were proficient in many arts. However, we have been unable to produce people above the Mountain and Sea Realm, whether it is because the academy is too subdivided into systems…”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Was this the reason?
They didn’t know, but in recent years, the academy’s system has been clearly divided. This has indeed allowed students to progress rapidly. The early stages progressed quickly, but in the later stages, they were all a little lacking in stamina.
The middle and low-level power of the academy is getting stronger and stronger!
However, high-end power has not shown any signs of growth.
Su Ziming sighed, “Let’s try again. I also want to see how the students will change under the circumstances of minoring in courses, including ourselves. I suggest that everyone also minor in some skills. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to take it to the next level!”
“Elder Su, is it really useful?”
“Let’s try it!”
Su Ziming said softly, “Reforming is about exploring in the process of trying, right? Everyone should also know what Dean Wan means. The power of the middle and lower levels is enough. We need elites, the top elites, elites who have the hope of reaching above the Mountain and Sea Realm!”
“To put it bluntly… even if a few cohorts of students are wasted in the reform process, it is worth it if we can explore a path above the Mountain and Sea Realm!”
“One person above the Mountain and Sea Realm… is worth ten thousand students!”
Su Ziming’s last words were a bit cold.
In the process of reform, everything is being tried. They don’t know what the result will be, but if they can produce someone above the Mountain and Sea Realm, even if these ten cohorts of students are wasted, it will be worth it.
