Is the Battle Department that poor?

"Are there actually students who intentionally fail to graduate? That's too disgusting. Why doesn't the academy do something about it?" someone complained.

"Why should they?"

Chu Feng said dismissively, "The resources from the Dragon Tiger Ranking are only useful for Martial Artists below Sixth-Rank. For those above Sixth-Rank, it's just so-so."

"A single trip to the Starry Sky Battlefield can earn resources equivalent to being first on the Dragon Tiger Ranking."

"They're choosing to be mediocre; why should the academy intervene? Anyway, once the fifteen-year deadline passes, if they still haven't graduated, they'll be expelled."

"Besides, with these guys as stepping stones, you geniuses will have more motivation to grow."

"Smooth sailing can't produce strong individuals."

Chu Feng's words silenced everyone.

As the saying goes, pressure breeds motivation.

While these parasites were indeed quite disgusting, they weren't entirely useless.

"That's enough about Academic Credits for now."

"Next, I want to recommend a book to everyone."

With that, Chu Feng conjured a book out of thin air and said with a smile, "This book is called the 'Azure Dragon Academy Encyclopedia.' It contains a lot of knowledge that will help you adapt better to the academy."

"Teacher, how much is it?" A student immediately showed interest.

"Not expensive, one Academic Credit per book." Chu Feng displayed a merchant's grin. "Don't think it's expensive. It not only introduces all the facilities of the academy, but also mentions things like the Dragon Tiger Ranking and the academy's powerhouses, which I just talked about."

"If I say nothing else, when you enter the academy and want to find a master, wouldn't you want a reference book?"

Chu Feng, like a devil, tempted the students step by step.

At this moment, many were already showing signs of interest, planning to buy a copy.

Seeing this, Chu Feng struck while the iron was hot, flipping through the 'Azure Dragon Academy Encyclopedia' in front of everyone.

"Look, this is the power ranking of the Dragon Guard Department teachers, and here's the wealth ranking of the Dragon Guard Department teachers."

"Aren't you even a little bit interested?"

"Oh, right, the academy has also ranked you Special Recruitment Students. Don't you want to know who the strongest newcomers are?"

With each sentence Chu Feng spoke, the crowd became more tempted.

After just a few sentences, their curiosity was piqued to the maximum. At this point, they would buy the book even if it cost ten Academic Credits.

"Brother-in-law, you're a teacher at Azure Dragon Academy. Aren't you also that desperate for Academic Credits?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask, watching Chu Feng enthusiastically peddle his wares.

"Of course, I am."

Chu Feng replied without hesitation, "From the Academy Head down to you freshmen, there's no one who isn't short on Academic Credits."

"While your few Academic Credits might not seem like much to me, you know, 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' If you don't value these ten-odd Academic Credits today, and then again tomorrow, over time, you might miss out on tens of thousands of Academic Credits."

The crowd nodded, their eyes filled with admiration.

They hadn't expected that teachers at Azure Dragon Academy would be so frugal.

"But my sister is also a teacher at the academy. Why don't I see her doing this kind of business?" Chen Mo asked again.

Chu Feng fell silent.

After a short moment, Chu Feng glared at Chen Mo with murderous intent, "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Chen Mo: He's flustered, he's flustered!

The other students also looked at Chu Feng strangely. From his reaction, it seemed like only Chu Feng, this teacher, was so desperate for Academic Credits.

"Ahem."

Being stared at with such odd looks by so many people, Chu Feng felt a bit embarrassed. "My department is a bit special."

"Even a small amount of Academic Credits can be directly converted into cultivation, so we can't afford to waste any."

This statement was not false.

In the entire Azure Dragon Academy, and even on the whole of Earth, there was no department that could digest resources more perfectly than the Combat Department.

For other departments, resources might go to waste, but for the Combat Department, any resource, regardless of its quality, could be converted into cultivation.

However, even with that said, it still gave off a somewhat meager impression.

"Times have changed. A fallen phoenix is not even as good as a chicken," Chen Mo said with a look of pity.

This sentence was the last straw for Chu Feng.

It was too heartbreaking.

Chu Feng glared fiercely at Chen Mo. You call me your brother-in-law, but do you have a brother-in-law like you?

"Ahem."

"Brother-in-law, I'm very interested in your book. How about this? I'll offer ten Academic Credits to buy it."

Chen Mo, whose will to survive was quite high, quickly spoke up upon seeing this.

As soon as he spoke, a smile quickly appeared on Chu Feng's face. "Thank you for your patronage."

While speaking, Chu Feng flicked his right hand, and the booklet was directly stuffed into Chen Mo's arms. "Remember to transfer the Academic Credit to me after we get to the Academy."

After saying that, Chu Feng looked at the others. "Does anyone else want to buy it?"

Their curiosity already piqued by Chu Feng, the group no longer cared about a mere handful of Academic Credit and each expressed their desire to purchase.

When it was Lu Chuan's turn, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, is our department really that poor?"

"Sigh."

Chu Feng patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder. "It's not that we're poor."

"Although our Combat Department has declined, we still have some foundation. It's just that our department has such high consumption that it makes us appear poor."

"You'll understand when you get the hang of the Sky Swallowing Art."

I understand now.

Lu Chuan gave a wry smile. Having already experienced the power of the Sky Swallowing Art, he naturally understood what Chu Feng meant.

With the Sky Swallowing Art, a veritable money pit, even more resources wouldn't be enough for them.

After selling the books, Chu Feng returned to his seat and said without looking back, "Do you have any other questions?"

"If not, I'll rest now."

With no one replying, Chu Feng was happy to have some peace.

As for the others, they took advantage of the free time to read the "Azure Dragon Academy Encyclopedia."

Just as Chu Feng had advertised, the book provided detailed information about various aspects of Azure Dragon Academy.

Including the major areas within the academy and the function of each area, the "Azure Dragon Academy Encyclopedia" had detailed descriptions of them all.

In addition, the book also mentioned the major powerhouses within the academy.

After a brief skim, Lu Chuan only had one thought: these Academic Credits were well spent!

"Quick, look! The student ranked first on the Dragon Tiger Ranking isn't one of those old hands!"

Suddenly, a student exclaimed.

Hearing this, the others quickly flipped through the book and soon found the Dragon Tiger Ranking.

Dragon Tiger Ranking First: Song Ningzhen.

Below it was an introduction to Song Ningzhen.

Song Ningzhen, a sophomore student at Azure Dragon Academy, joined the academy a year and a half ago. Six months ago, at the Seventh-Rank realm, he overpowered everyone and claimed the first spot on the Dragon Tiger Ranking!
