Nan Yuan Secondary Academy.

Chen Hao went to the preparatory class, as he had to attend class, while Su Yu went straight to the Resources Department.

…

“Su Yu, you want to exchange for the Ironwing Bird’s essence blood?”

The Resources Department manager said with some surprise, “The essence blood of the Thousand Jun realm only helps those in the Thousand Jun realm. It’s not only unhelpful to those in the Kaiyuan realm, but it’s also poison. What are you exchanging it for?”

“Teacher Zhang, is it possible to exchange?”

Su Yu smiled and said, “You also know that I’ve been researching information on the Myriad Clans. The Ironwing Bird is one of the races I’ve researched the most, so I wanted to purchase some essence blood for research. However, the price is too high, so I came to the academy to ask…”

“It’s possible, you’ve earned a total of 18 Myriad Clan language qualification certificates in recent years. Apart from the three mandatory ones, the other 15 all have rewards, totaling 15 merit points. Being in the Kaiyuan third level gives you 3 points, which is a total of 18 merit points…”

The Resources Department manager checked the data and quickly said, “However, you’ve already spent 6 points, all used in the library. You have 12 points left.”

“Yes, I know.”

Su Yu smiled and said, “Then how much Ironwing Bird essence blood can the remaining 12 points get me?”

“You want to exchange for this… it’s really not very useful, such a waste!”

The managing teacher had to remind him, “The Thousand Jun realm Ironwing Bird is very strong for you, but it’s cannon fodder on the Battlefield of the Heavens. Merit points are universally used by all academies and can even be accumulated to exchange for valuable resources at higher academies.”

“You can easily accumulate 18 points in a secondary academy, earning 1 point for learning a Myriad Clan language, but it won’t be that easy in higher academies.”

“Exchanging for this isn’t worth it! In higher academies, some confidential information, advanced cultivation techniques, and even some courses may require merit points to exchange for, and even the military can use them…”

“I know all of this, but what else can I do?”

Su Yu smiled wryly. He knew.

Wasn’t it because he was short on money?

He did have money, over 200,000, which was enough to buy 5 drops, but the problem was that he still had to live.

Those in the Kaiyuan realm don’t have any income. He had to save some money for use in higher academies.

Merit points were the most important trading system besides Anping coins.

Money could buy many things, but it couldn’t buy everything.

High-level strategic resources, advanced cultivation techniques, and even some inheritances all required merit points. This was a representation of one’s contribution to the human race.

If you didn’t contribute to the human race, even if you had a lot of money, you might not be able to buy certain things.

The acquisition and expenditure of merit points were both tracked, including the original accumulation of merit points. For example, Su Yu obtained 18 points, and even if he spent them all, these 18 points would continue to accumulate.

Once he reached 100 points, Su Yu’s authority would be greater.

This also prevented many people who only had money but didn’t make significant contributions to the human race from privately acquiring a large number of merit points to purchase scarce strategic materials.

Some wealthy individuals, even if they acquired tens of thousands of merit points, couldn’t buy some things if their initial level wasn’t high enough.

The Resources Department manager sighed upon hearing this, “Then I won’t try to persuade you. Actually, it’s too early for you to do research now! Nan Yuan Secondary Academy also lacks such conditions. When you get to a higher academy, you can apply for subsidies for some research, and the higher-ups may even distribute resources for research.”

“The Ironwing Bird is very common in the Battlefield of the Heavens, so its research value isn’t very high. If you’re going to research, you should exchange for something else…”

Su Yu smiled and said, “You’re right. Does the academy have Wattle-necked Goosefish essence blood?”

“…”

The manager was somewhat embarrassed, “We don’t have that. That thing is in the Di Mountain realm and rarely seen on the Battlefield of the Heavens. Moreover, those who come to the Battlefield of the Heavens are at least in the Ten Thousand Stone realm, or even the Soaring Skies realm. The Great Xia Civilization Academy definitely has it, but we naturally wouldn’t have it here.”

That was the point.

Su Yu could recognize some of the races he dreamed of, including the Wattle-necked Goosefish.

However, since they started at the Ten Thousand Stone realm, if he consumed Ten Thousand Stone realm essence blood now, even if the illustrated handbook absorbed the essence blood’s energy, his own body wouldn’t be able to handle it, and he might explode.

As for the essence blood of other uncertain races, he wouldn’t dare to consume them casually. If it was a race he hadn’t dreamed of, the illustrated handbook wouldn’t absorb it, and he wouldn’t be able to handle it himself.

After thinking it over, the Ironwing Bird was still the safest option for now.

“Teacher, then please exchange some for me.”

“How many drops do you want? One merit point per drop, it’s really not worth it…”

The teacher reminded him again, “The value of merit points doesn’t seem very high, and on the surface, it’s only 10,000 per point, but in reality, some things can’t be represented by money. You know what I mean.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Teacher!”

Su Yu quickly nodded and said, “Just exchange for 3 drops for now. If it’s not enough, I’ll come back to exchange for more.”

“You!”

The manager saw that he wouldn’t listen to advice and was somewhat helpless. He quickly arranged for someone to get it. While waiting, he thought for a moment and reminded him, “Your father went to the Battlefield of the Heavens a few days ago. The academy knows about this. Since your father isn’t home, be careful yourself recently. You should also know that the guys from the Myriad Clan Sect are active in the Great Xia Prefecture.”

“Yes, but that shouldn’t have anything to do with me, right?”

“How could it not!”

The teacher scolded, “It’s always good to be careful! The bastards from the Myriad Clan Sect mainly target not the strong, nor geniuses, or at least not cultivation geniuses, but intellectuals!”

“Although you can’t be considered an intellectual, you are one of the few preparatory students for the Civilization Academy in Nan Yuan Secondary Academy!”

“The damage caused by the strong is limited, but the damage caused by intellectuals is unlimited! In the Battlefield of the Heavens, the human race has been able to defend for hundreds of years, relying not only on those invincible powerhouses but also on the intellectuals in the rear!”

“Which top researcher in the Civilization Academy hasn’t been assassinated? These people have deciphered the Myriad Clan’s cultivation techniques and deeply researched their civilizations, allowing the human race to have more powerhouses and be more confident in dealing with the Myriad Clans…”

The manager said with some admiration, “They have silently contributed a lot, no less than any invincible powerhouse! Yet, most of them lack the necessary combat power, so even in the rear, they often become targets of the Myriad Clans, and assassinations are common.”
“The guys from the Ten Thousand Races Sect are causing trouble within the human race, not just to assassinate individual powerhouses, their main target is them!”

“Although you haven’t entered the Civilization Academy yet and don’t know that many languages, you’re young, which makes you more dangerous than some of the cultivation talents inside the academy. Those at the fourth or fifth level of the Opening Origin Realm might not even be worth their attention.”

“How long does it take for an Opening Origin Realm cultivator to reach the Soaring Sky Realm?”

“But a scholar, maybe in ten or twenty years, could decipher a cultivation technique, find its flaws, and come up with a way to specifically kill them… That’s more dangerous than a Soaring Sky Realm cultivator.”

Su Yu smiled wryly, “It can’t be that bad, right?”

“Although I’ve mastered 18 languages, that’s too few for the Ten Thousand Races, and most of them are common languages.”

“Don’t take it lightly, be careful, pay attention! If you encounter danger, ask for help immediately. Nan Yuan Prefecture is also increasing patrols, and the Wind Chasing Hall has started to strengthen its deployment, including a team of Dragon Guard stationed in Nan Yuan Prefecture that has started patrolling.”

“If you encounter trouble, shout for help. In a few dozen seconds at most, someone will arrive.”

Seeing that his teacher was serious, Su Yu quickly nodded and said, “Teacher, don’t worry, I know! Nan Yuan Prefecture is so small, those guys might not even come here. Even if they do, to put it bluntly… I shouldn’t be a priority.”

“That’s true.”

The teacher smiled, “But you can’t be careless, especially when you go to Instructor Liu’s place, be extra careful!”

“Huh?”

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, “Instructor Liu…”

“Don’t misunderstand, I mean Instructor Liu is the strongest instructor in Nan Yuan Intermediate Academy in terms of Ten Thousand Races languages. Eight or nine out of ten students who pass the Civilization Academy every year are taught by him.”

“Instructor Liu’s place is definitely the biggest target of the Ten Thousand Races Sect. If they come to Nan Yuan, the first person they’ll assassinate is him, not the Prefecture Lord or the City Lord.”

“Instructor Liu is a spark, a spark that ignites civilization, at least for Nan Yuan. That’s why I’m reminding you to be careful.”

Su Yu’s expression changed, “Teacher, then is Instructor Liu in danger?”

“It’s okay, don’t worry too much. Now the Prefecture Lord is personally protecting Instructor Liu, including Dragon Guards who are secretly protecting him, and the Wind Chasing Hall has even sent a small team of people. I’m just reminding you to be careful on the road when you go to see Instructor Liu!”

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The Instructor Liu mentioned by the administrative teacher is also Su Yu’s teaching teacher. Su Yu has mastered 18 languages, almost all of which came from the teaching of this old instructor.

As the administrative teacher said, Instructor Liu may not be much in Great Xia Prefecture, but in Nan Yuan, especially Nan Yuan Intermediate Academy, he is indeed a disseminator of civilization.

He has been teaching for so many years and has brought out hundreds of students from the Civilization Academy.

Most of these hundreds of students have graduated, and now they are playing a certain role in Great Xia Prefecture and even in the entire human race.

Maybe it’s not too big, but the inheritance of human civilization relies on this group of grassroots people.

If the Ten Thousand Races Sect comes to Nan Yuan City to assassinate someone, Instructor Liu’s importance is indeed greater than that of the City Lord.

While the two were talking, the staff brought over the Ironwing Bird’s essence blood.

3 drops!

After exchanging for 3 drops of essence blood, Su Yu had 9 merit points left. He also felt a little heartache. He had spent 6 points on checking countless materials in the library over the years, and now he had spent 3 points all at once, which was too extravagant.

Taking the bottle containing the essence blood, Su Yu asked again, “Teacher, has Instructor Liu been to the academy these days?”

“He’s working normally. We wanted him to take refuge in the City Lord’s Mansion for a while, but he didn’t want to, so we had to let him continue working.”

“Then I’ll go see Instructor Liu.”

Su Yu originally planned to take the things and go home to try them out, but now he changed his mind and decided to go see Instructor Liu and ask some questions.

…………

Instructor’s Office.

Liu Wenyuan, who was over sixty years old, was making records while saying without looking up, “Prefecture Lord, there’s no need to keep following me, it’s just inside the academy, there’s no way it’s that dangerous.”

Beside him, the Academy Lord, who was also over sixty years old, said with a smile, “I’m not disturbing you, why are you chasing me away?”

“Your breathing is interfering with me.”

“…”

The Prefecture Lord didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and soon heard Liu Wenyuan criticize him again, “Besides, you just broke through the Ten Thousand Stone Realm, you’re so weak, it’s actually useless even if you come.”

“I…”

The old Prefecture Lord was very helpless, “Am I weak?”

“A little bit, maybe.”

A person over sixty years old only breaking through the Ten Thousand Stone Realm is indeed nothing, but this is the rear, this is Nan Yuan City, the smallest of the 28 cities under the jurisdiction of Great Xia Prefecture.

He’s not the City Lord, just an Intermediate Academy Lord, why would he need to be so strong?

The real powerhouses have either gone to Great Xia Prefecture or to the Battlefield of the Heavens. In Nan Yuan City, he’s considered pretty good, okay?

“Hey, you think I want to accompany you?”

The old Prefecture Lord said angrily, “Isn’t it because you old thing are too important? Nan Yuan City has had 320 students admitted to the Civilization Academy in the past 20 years, an average of 16 per year, and half of them were taught by you. How could you not be a thorn in someone’s side?”

“It’s not that bad.”

Liu Wenyuan also smiled, “After all, it’s just a small Nan Yuan City, and only so few people are admitted each year. It’s insignificant to the entire Great Xia Prefecture. Do you think the Ten Thousand Races Sect will target me?”

“It’s hard to say, but you’re more important than this old man. People probably wouldn’t even bother to look at a weak Ten Thousand Stone, it’s not worth killing.”

The Prefecture Lord made a joke, and the truth was indeed the case. The Ten Thousand Stone Realm wasn’t weak, but it couldn’t play a big role on the Battlefield of the Heavens.

Killing an old Ten Thousand Stone in the rear might cost several lives, and the people of the Ten Thousand Races Sect wouldn’t really do this kind of losing business.

As the two were chatting, the Prefecture Lord’s ears twitched slightly, and he soon smiled, “Su Yu is here, this kid is more promising than his father!”

“Don’t belittle Su Long, isn’t it just because he refused your offer to be the head of the security department at the academy? Do you have to hold a grudge like that?”
Liu Wenyan also smiled, looking up and saying, “That guy Su Long still has his passion. I saw it years ago. He wasn’t willing to just retreat like that. He had been planning to join the Dragon Martial Guard, but gave up when there was no hope.”

The old mansion head scoffed, striking him down, “He clearly can’t get in. Being at the ninth level of Thousand Jun before the age of 30 would be a bit of a chance, but how old is he now? Still hoping to join the Dragon Martial Guard? Being at the ninth level of Ten Thousand Stone would be more like it.”

“That’s still better than you. If he doesn’t die in the Heavens Battlefield, he’ll probably be at the Ten Thousand Stone Realm when he returns in a couple of years.”

Liu Wenyan said, and then smiled again, “Su Yu is also good. When he goes to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, although he’s not a genius, he’ll be a pillar in the fight against the myriad races in the future. This father and son are stronger than you and me…”

The old mansion head nodded slightly, and soon sighed, “If I hadn’t damaged my foundation in the Heavens Battlefield back then, I wouldn’t have retreated and become this broken mansion head. It’s meaningless.”

“It’s good to come back alive. Not many soldiers in the Heavens Battlefield haven’t damaged their foundation. In that situation, if you don’t break through to the seventh level of Thousand Jun or above in time, you’re not even worth cannon fodder.”

Liu Wenyan also sighed. Most of the soldiers in the Heavens Battlefield probably have no hope of reaching the Soaring Realm for the rest of their lives. There’s no way around it.

That hellish place, the fighting is fierce. If you don’t break through quickly, new recruits will die within a few days. Who has time to worry about so much?

The War Academy picks the talented seedlings, and other ordinary people can only struggle to survive.

As they were talking, Su Yu entered the door.

Liu Wenyan smiled. He was very satisfied with this student, Su Yu. He could endure hardship and had patience. Although he wasn’t a top-level genius, the human race needed not only geniuses, but also good seedlings like him who steadily moved forward step by step.
