Academy Situation

While Chen Feng was looking through the Student Handbook.

At the same time, within Black Stone Academy, Chen Feng's arrival had stirred up some ripples.

Principal's Office.

Qian Hu carried Yun Xi's Recommendation Token straight to the office. The moment he pushed open the door, he said excitedly, "Old Principal, someone came to our school today holding a Recommendation Token—and it was from Divine Phoenix Sword Cultivator Yun Xi."

Old Principal Guan Mingjiang had been troubled by some information sent by the city lord. Upon hearing Qian Hu's words, he was also somewhat surprised.

"What? Yun Xi's Recommendation Token?"

Qian Hu said, "Yes, Old Principal. Look, this is the information he brought with him."

"He is a villager from a village at the foot of Black Mountain. This afternoon, I even sent people to Black Mountain Village to investigate, and he truly is from there."

"He is eighteen years old now, and it has also been confirmed that he had interacted with Yun Xi."

"This Chen Feng must have awakened his Martial Talent as well."

As he spoke, Qian Hu took out a stack of documents and placed them on the desk before Old Principal Guan Mingjiang.

They recorded all sorts of information about Chen Feng, along with information about Lin Xue, who was by his side.

Even the conflict between Chen Feng and Steward Huang's household, as well as how Chen Feng was skilled with a bow and had shot and killed martial artists from Steward Huang's household, were all recorded within.

As the Old Principal looked through the information, a gleam flickered in his eyes.

After a moment, he smiled. "Good! Every new genius martial artist gives Great Qian a greater chance of survival!"

"And Yun Xi actually came to Black Mountain. It seems the news that the Demonic Blade Secret Realm appeared within Black Mountain may very well be true!"

Qian Hu nodded. "Yes."

"We still do not know what the situation in Black Mountain is. I would also like to contact Sword Cultivator Yun Xi. If she is willing to act, the current crisis of Black Stone City may be resolved immediately."

After hearing this, the Old Principal pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, "The Demonic Blade Secret Realm is naturally more important. It must be kept in Great Qian's hands. If the Demon Cult gets hold of it, we will be in danger."

"I fear it will not only threaten Black Stone City, but even endanger the entire Nanshan Prefecture."

Qian Hu nodded. "Yes."

The Old Principal continued, "Right, did this Chen Feng say which branch of Martial Arts he intends to choose?"

"Judging by the information we gathered, he probably does not know much. You can help guide him more."

Qian Hu smiled. "I arranged for Wan Baoyang to answer his questions. There should not be any major problems with this information."

"Besides, selecting cultivation techniques depends on personal choice. One can sense a degree of compatibility with them, so there should not be any issue."

"His cultivation is still within the First-Rank Realm, and he has not even cultivated a single Martial Arts technique to completion. There will not be any trouble."

"And I gave him the treatment of a first-class student. Even if he chooses wrongly the first time, it does not matter. He will have several more chances afterward."

The Old Principal nodded with a smile. "That is good."

"Then keep a closer eye on him. If possible, adding one more spot for special training students is no great matter."

"Also, keep a close watch on the situation in Black Mountain. Those little bastards from the Demonic Cult truly do not know whether they are dead or alive."

"Yes."

He knew nothing about what was happening within the academy.

Now that he had read through the Student Handbook once, he had gained some understanding of the situation at Black Stone Academy.

Only now did he understand why Wan Baoyang had been surprised upon hearing that he received the treatment of a first-class student.

Black Stone Academy possessed all kinds of resources that could assist cultivation.

For example, there were Gravity Rooms that could release gravity and accelerate the circulation of blood and qi for cultivation.

There was all manner of demon beast flesh that could increase blood and qi.

There were pills that could increase blood and qi and cultivation speed.

There were all kinds of different cultivation techniques and martial skills.

There was special training from various teachers.

However, acquiring these academy resources required spending points.

It could be said that without points, one could not take a single step within the academy.

The academy's students were divided into four grades according to their cultivation progress and talent: third-class students, second-class students, first-class students, and Storm and Cloud Students.

Third-class students could receive one hundred points per month.

Second-class students could be allotted three hundred points per month.

First-class students could be allotted five hundred points per month.

Storm and Cloud Students were students who could make it onto the academy's Wind and Cloud Ranking.

Even the last-ranked person on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking could receive an additional thousand points every month.

There were also all kinds of point rewards for successful challenges.

Then there were the academy assessments. According to the handbook, the academy held an assessment every month.

These assessments mainly tested cultivation progress and actual combat ability. Based on the assessment results, the lowest-ranked martial artists would have points deducted.

If one's points failed to meet the minimum requirement for three consecutive months, one would be expelled from Black Stone Academy.

"So that is how it is." Chen Feng sighed softly.

No wonder that when he entered the school, he had seen students diligently cultivating everywhere and hurrying back and forth.

They were probably all earning points.

This system would make every student focus solely on cultivation!

As for choosing cultivation techniques, one could go to the academy's Scripture Pavilion to exchange for them.

As long as one had points, one could exchange for them.

There were still five hundred points on his identity token. He had wanted to go now, but when he looked at the sky, it was already very late.

Lin Xue had also more or less finished tidying up Courtyard 788.

He did not cultivate much more. He would first wait until he understood more information, then decide how to choose and cultivate.

Lying in his new home, Chen Feng felt very calm.

Lin Xue lay beside him, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she said, "Husband, you are truly amazing!"

Chen Feng smiled. "Keep working hard. Things will only get better and better for us."

Lin Xue nodded heavily. "Mm."

He watched Lin Xue gradually fall asleep.

Chen Feng, meanwhile, was still pondering everything that had happened since arriving in this world.

Only now could he be considered truly settled down for the first time.

Once his cultivation improved further, he could ask whether anyone from Black Stone Academy had entered Black Mountain.

According to what Liu Yuan had said before, even an apprentice like him could see martial artists discussing Black Mountain. Chen Feng should soon receive some news from within as well.

He only did not know whether he would ever see Yun Xi again.

A night passed.

Chen Feng glanced at the panel information.

You spent a pleasant night. Your Yin Yang Arts proficiency +10.

Skill: Yin Yang Arts (Beginner progress 50%.)

"After a little more time, the Yin Yang Arts should be able to improve," Chen Feng thought.

He then got up and came to the courtyard, where he first practiced the Iron Fist Technique.

The progress was not fast, but it was steadily improving.

Not much time passed.

Then the gate to his courtyard was knocked on.

Chen Feng opened the door. Standing outside was Wan Baoyang, who said with a laugh, "Haha, Brother Chen, I was afraid you would not be able to resist going to the Scripture Pavilion by yourself, so I came early."

"I wanted you to make more preparations before choosing your cultivation technique."
