"Points for killing beasts outside the fortress? A Peak Tower multiplier?"
Curiosity showed on Lu Yuan's face.
"That's right."
Ye Qingyue nodded.
Then, her red lips moved as she continued, "First, the fortress. Tiangong City is constantly plagued by beast attacks, so fortresses have to be built outside the city to hold them back."
"Flowers grown in a greenhouse are always delicate. That's why the academy requires students to go outside the fortress and kill beasts to earn points."
"Second, to showcase the results of their cultivation, students also need to climb the Peak Tower. Climbing it earns them a multiplier. The higher the multiplier, the greater the bonus to their final score."
"Combine the two, and you get the final score on the Combat Power Rankings."
"Scores are tallied once a month, and rewards are issued afterward. The points for killing beasts outside the fortress reset to zero, but the Peak Tower multiplier is retained."
Finally, Ye Qingyue added, "There's one more thing to keep in mind. If your ranking on the Combat Power Rankings drops for three consecutive months, or if you stay among the bottom fifty for three consecutive months, you'll be expelled from Tiangong Supernatural Ability Academy immediately."
"Three consecutive months of dropping in the rankings... or three consecutive months in the bottom fifty. Don't worry, Teacher. That won't happen to me."
Lu Yuan spoke earnestly.
"Haha, if that happened, you wouldn't be my student by then anyway. You'd have already been expelled from Tiangong Supernatural Ability Academy."
Ye Qingyue seemed to be in a good mood, even joking around.
"That won't do. I'm sticking with you. I'm your student now, and I'll still be your student in the future..."
Lu Yuan gave a slight shake of his head, his tone firm and his gaze bright.
