Peace Town

Lin Ze stood by the viewport, gazing down at the small town nestled between two mountain peaks.

And the tree near the town entrance, entirely black, with a few skeletons hanging from it.

"Is that the legendary Necro Tree?"

"Yes, legend has it that two Dou King corpses, and even a Dou Emperor corpse, hang from it!"

"It is precisely this Necro Tree that has forged Jia Nan Academy's formidable reputation, preventing the chaos of the Black-Corner Region from spreading near Jia Nan Academy."

Xiao Yu also stood by the viewport, speaking with excitement.

When mentioning the origin of the Necro Tree, her tone carried pride, as she was now a student of Jia Nan Academy.

Beside them, Xiao Yi Xian also curiously peeked out.

At this moment, Lin Ze's Soul Perception was triggered, and he couldn't help but look up.

He saw the elder who had been responsible for escorting them a few days prior reappear, saying to Instructor Ruo Lin.

"The convoy has arrived at Peace Town. From here, the Enforcement Team will escort us. I still need to pick up the next batch of students."

Instructor Ruo Lin quickly bowed her head in response.

"Thank you for the escort, Elder. Please be careful."

The old man nodded slightly, flapped his wings, and his figure turned into a stream of light, heading into the distance.

Xiao Yi Xian watched the old man's rapidly disappearing back, and couldn't help but sigh.

"A Dou King expert. I wonder if I will ever become a Dou King expert?"

"Of course! Believe in yourself."

Lin Ze said with absolute certainty.

Xiao Yu, standing beside them, looked at Xiao Yi Xian with some surprise.

She didn't understand why Lin Ze had such great confidence in Xiao Yi Xian.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian also revealed a faint smile on her face.

"Then I'll take your good words to heart."

At this moment, Instructor Ruo Lin's voice came.

"All students, prepare to disembark. We will rest in Peace Town today, and tomorrow the Enforcement Team will escort us through the Primeval Forest."

Hearing Instructor Ruo Lin's voice, everyone became excited.

Most of the new students were youths, and they were full of curiosity about the famous Peace Town.

Lin Ze and the other two followed the crowd and disembarked from the Flying Magical Beast.

After their feet touched the ground, Lin Ze stretched.

"Although we occasionally stopped to let the Flying Magical Beast rest and to let us move around, this journey has indeed been long," Lin Ze said with some emotion.

"Indeed, this is a journey of tens of thousands of miles, crossing several small countries and Alien Race tribes," Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.

"Without the academy's Flying Magical Beast, it would be very difficult for us to return."

"That's true, but as Instructor Ruo Lin said, new students will stay in the academy to cultivate, except for some specific holidays." Xiao Yi Xian also chimed in.

On the way to Jia Nan Academy, the Flying Magical Beast couldn't fly continuously, so it would land to rest at intervals.

During these rests, Instructor Ruo Lin would also explain the academy's situation to the new students.

The new student holidays Xiao Yixian mentioned, as well as academy cultivation life and some points to note.

This was to give the new students a general understanding of the academy.

The three chatted as they strolled through the town for a while.

Afterward, they each returned to the temporary rooms arranged by the academy.

The next morning, many students excitedly boarded the Flying Magical Beast and set off for Jia Nan Academy.

The new students were eager to see the legendary Jia Nan Academy, while the senior students felt a sense of nostalgia for academy life.

For example, when senior students followed instructors on recruitment missions, they were doing work for the academy and would be rewarded with Contribution Points.

Contribution Points were very useful in Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy; they could be used to request private tutoring from instructors, exchange for high-level cultivation techniques and Dou Skills...

The function of Contribution Points was actually similar to the Fire Energy in the Inner Academy.

However, the Inner Academy's Fire Energy was more direct and straightforward. Fire Energy could be used for cultivation in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, which meant rapid cultivation advancement!

Contribution Points, on the other hand, involved a more roundabout path. They could be used to obtain instructor guidance and acquire Dou Skills and cultivation techniques, but whether one could succeed depended on oneself.

There were also various ways to obtain Contribution Points.

For instance, following instructors on recruitment missions and doing work for the academy could earn Contribution Points.

Or join the Enforcement Team and eliminate enemies that threaten the Academy.

Of course, for most ordinary students, the safest and most common way to earn Contribution Points is by attending lectures.

As long as they attend a lecture by an instructor and pass that instructor's assessment after a period of time, they can receive the corresponding Contribution Points from the instructor.

Although the Outer Academy is not as competitive as the Inner Academy, it doesn't mean students can just slack off and wait to die there.

Therefore, this reward mechanism is in place to encourage students to study hard and strive for progress.

Lin Ze stood by the window, recalling the functions of Contribution Points that Instructor Ruo Lin had introduced to them.

Not far away, several senior students were also talking in low voices.

"Finally back at the Academy. This trip took a long time."

"Haha, even though it took a long time, the Contribution Points are plentiful! Once the Contribution Points are distributed, I'm definitely going to ask Instructor Ruo Lin for private guidance, and let Instructor Ruo Lin whip me severely once!"

"Ew~ You're so perverted!"

"Damn it! What about you? How do you plan to use these Contribution Points?"

"Of course, I'll let Instructor Ruo Lin whip me three times, hehe..."

Listening to the exchange of the senior students not far away, Lin Ze's face showed a speechless expression.

Speaking of which, the weapon Instructor Ruo Lin uses seems to be a long whip, right?

Lin Ze shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and looked through the window at the Academy's Enforcement Team escorting them on both sides.

The Flying Magical Beasts ridden by the Enforcement Team were Griffins.

Compared to the Flying Magical Beasts beneath Lin Ze's feet, these Griffins were faster, but their carrying capacity and stamina were slightly weaker.

If these two types of Flying Magical Beasts were to fight in the air, the Griffins would definitely win.

Lin Ze looked at the distant Griffins with some curiosity, thinking to himself.

"I wonder how much Flesh Essence one Griffin can produce?"

The distant Griffin seemed to sense some malice and turned its head, but only saw the new student team. Finding nothing unusual, it turned its head back and continued flying.

After flying for more than half a day, they finally saw the outline of the city.

Even from high in the sky, one couldn't see the end of the city, which showed how vast it was.

"Is this the Ancient City of Canaan?"

Curiosity flickered in Lin Ze's eyes. This would be the second place for his Death Soldiers to take root.

"I hope it truly is a land of order."

After flying for a short while longer, the flying team slowly descended.

Looking at the majestic and ancient academy, Lin Ze's heart stirred slightly.

This academy would likely be where he lived for the next few years, a safe haven he yearned for.

And within this academy, there were also outstanding individuals among his peers. Competing with these prodigies, who would be considered exceptional in the outside world, would surely be interesting.

Imagining his future academy life, a smile of anticipation appeared on Lin Ze's face.

I wonder what kind of mark I will leave in this academy?
