Arrival at Azure Dragon Academy

"Our Azure Dragon Academy is located in a special space, rarely seen by ordinary people. Martial Artists who wish to enter must also pass through a special portal."

"Alright, everyone, you may enter."

Standing by the vortex, Chu Feng explained with a smile as he looked at the shocked crowd.

A look of a successfully executed scheme flashed in his eyes.

Shocked, aren't you!

It's good that you're shocked.

If I don't let you experience what this teacher went through back then, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?

Looking at the vortex before him, Lu Chuan was truly stunned.

Who would have thought that Azure Dragon Academy wasn't on Earth?

The other students were also in a daze. Only a small portion of them didn't change their expression, but they were still astonished by Azure Dragon Academy's methods.

"Let's go, don't just stand there, go in," Chu Feng urged them again.

As soon as he said this, Chen Mo was the first to step into the vortex.

In just a moment, Chen Mo's figure disappeared.

Seeing this, the others also entered the vortex one by one.

When Lu Chuan entered the vortex, he felt a dizzying sensation, and then his vision went black.

When he could see again, he was already in a bustling city.

Skyscrapers lined the street, and traffic flowed endlessly. The prosperity was no less than that of Dragon Country's capital.

"This is our Azure Dragon Academy's commercial street, considered the outskirts. The actual teaching area and the various colleges are still ahead."

"It's not far, just a few dozen miles."

Chu Feng, who arrived shortly after, explained from behind the students.

Good heavens, still a few dozen miles to the teaching area!

Just how big is this Azure Dragon Academy?

At this moment, everyone was shocked again.

Everything before them exceeded their imagination.

Perhaps only such a wealthy and powerful academy could cultivate top experts.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the academy. We'll try to get you settled in today."

"Staying on the commercial street costs quite a bit of money," Chu Feng said with a smile.

After speaking, Chu Feng produced a bus from who knows where.

The group followed Chu Feng onto the bus, and they set off towards Azure Dragon Academy.

Along the way, Chu Feng suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, we're almost at the academy. There are a few things I need to tell you in advance to avoid you suffering losses."

"This is all based on my own experience, whether you listen or not is up to you."

As soon as he said this, the crowd instantly fell silent.

All their ears perked up, lest they miss any detail.

"The first point concerns everyone in the academy, regardless of your faction."

"That is currency!"

"Although the academy still accepts Dragon Country currency, the main mode of transaction is Academic Credits."

"According to the exchange rate between Dragon Country currency and Academic Credits, one Academic Credit can be exchanged for one hundred thousand Dragon Country currency."

"From this exchange rate, you should be able to see how precious Academic Credits are."

"Furthermore, Academic Credits are far more useful than Dragon Country currency."

"Things like eating, sleeping, buying cultivation methods, buying martial arts, buying courses from certain teachers, exchanging for resources, etc., all require Academic Credits."

"The most crucial point is that some precious resources can only be purchased with Academic Credits."

"So, you must protect your Academic Credits well, don't let others trick you out of them, and don't spend them carelessly."

"If your Academic Credits are gone, you'll have to drink the northwest wind."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled.

They hadn't expected Academic Credits to be so important.

"Teacher, how do we obtain Academic Credits?" a student couldn't help but ask.

"There are many ways."

Chu Feng explained, "The academy issues missions every day. As long as you complete them, you'll be rewarded with Academic Credits."

"For courses within the major factions, as long as you complete them diligently, the faction leaders will also reward you with Academic Credits."

"In addition, if you can get onto the Dragon Tiger Ranking, you'll also receive a monthly Academic Credit subsidy."

"Dragon Tiger Ranking?" Lu Chuan's expression stiffened. "What's that?"

"The Dragon Tiger Ranking is a list established by the academy for students below the second year," Chen Mo, sitting next to Lu Chuan, explained. "The list has a total of one hundred spots, recording the strongest hundred students below the second year."

"Based on the ranking, the academy bestows abundant resources every month."

"Academic Credit is just one of them."

As soon as he said this, a fiery glint flashed in everyone's eyes. If they could luckily make the list, they would not only gain Academic Credit but also fame – killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh, "What, you guys want to get on the list?"

"Let me put it this way: except for Ji Yuechen, all of you should just give up on that idea. Forcing your way into the arena matches will just get you beaten."

Those who were specially recruited were all exceptional individuals.

Seeing Chu Feng belittle them, many immediately showed signs of indignation.

"From what I know, the freshmen admitted by the Four Great Academies are only Fourth-Rank Martial Artists. Even with two years to cultivate, how strong can they become?"

"I've fought students from the Four Great Academies before. Why does the teacher think we can't make the list?"

"Exactly, it's just a year or two more of cultivation than us, how big a gap can that create?"

Suddenly, the bus erupted in heated discussion. No one believed they would be weaker than those senior students.

Lu Chuan, however, was an exception. He knew his own level; forget about the seniors, he wasn't even confident he could defeat the newcomers. He'd better play it safe and develop subtly, then surprise everyone later.

"Everyone, please quiet down."

Chu Feng smiled and gestured with his hands. At the same time, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped all the students.

In an instant, everyone fell silent. Ninth-Rank powerhouses were not someone they could provoke right now.

"I know you were all specially recruited by various factions using precious special admission spots."

"To be honest, your aptitude is higher than those who got in through exams, and significantly so."

"But don't forget how many people the academy recruits each year."

"One thousand people!"

"Can you guarantee that among these thousand people, there aren't any students more monstrous than you?"

"Furthermore, the academy's final exams are notoriously difficult, with a large number of students failing and having to repeat the year."

"These repeating students are nominally in their second or first year, but in reality, they've likely cultivated for many years."

"No matter how monstrous you are, can you overcome a gap of several years, or even a decade, in cultivation?"

"Also, I'll let you in on a little secret: many students deliberately repeat the year just to enjoy the resources from the Dragon Tiger Ranking."

"Many of them have strength comparable to third-year or even fourth-year students."

"Now, do you still have the confidence to break into the Dragon Tiger Ranking?"

At these words, the indignation and defiance on everyone's faces instantly vanished.

In their place was a deep sense of apprehension.
