After leaving the dean's office, Gu Yue Na took Yun Ze around the academy to familiarize him with the surroundings.
Sun Moon Royal Academy might not cover as much land as some large academies. After all, it only had three building complexes, so its footprint was limited.
However, its usable space was in no way inferior to those large academies.
There were three main buildings and twelve auxiliary buildings, with more than four hundred floors in total. Every floor had over a thousand square meters of usable space, making the total area immense.
Each of these buildings combined Soul Tools with reinforced concrete. Beneath their magnificent exteriors lay hidden dangers.
Their interiors were also brimming with technology: Soul Tool shell laboratories capable of withstanding bombardment from eighth-grade fixed-installation shells, and trial grounds where Titled Douluo could fight.
Mecha exhibition halls, Battle Armor exhibition halls, virtual trial rooms—everything other academies could provide their students could be found within these buildings.
"Is there anywhere else you want to see?" Gu Yue Na asked Yun Ze beside her.
The two walked along a passageway between the buildings. Gu Yue Na had just finished showing Yun Ze the academy's Library.
The Library was not a single room, nor was it a single floor. It occupied five floors, located on the top five levels of one of the main buildings.
The books and materials stored on those five floors were the accumulation of Sun Moon Royal Academy over the past ten thousand years.
Sun Moon Royal Academy had a history of more than ten thousand years. The reason it only had books and records from the past ten thousand years was that the academy had suffered a catastrophic disaster ten thousand years ago.
The great explosion at the time had completely erased the academy, which had already stood for several thousand years. Forget books—even a single person had not survived.
After that incident, it could not merely be said that Sun Moon Royal Academy had been severely weakened. It had been directly destroyed.
Had the imperial family not provided substantial support afterward, this academy might have vanished into the dust of history.
Other than the first floor, which was freely open, access to the remaining four floors required the corresponding authority, especially the top floor.
Gu Yue Na had taken Yun Ze through the first four floors, but their current authority did not permit them to enter the fifth.
Although Dean Xu Lin had promised Yun Ze unrestricted reading privileges, the fifth floor contained certain top-secret documents and was not included in that privilege.
To enter the fifth floor, even Dean Xu Lin had to submit an application, have it approved by the academy council, and sign the relevant documents. If even he had to do that, what right did he have to grant Yun Ze access? "There's nowhere else I particularly want to see, so there's no need to keep looking around. Next, I plan to find a temporary place outside and do some Pill Refining," Yun Ze said.
What he cared about was the academy's Library. Now that he had seen it, there was naturally no reason to continue wandering around.
"That's all?" The smile on Gu Yue Na's face faded. She nodded helplessly and said, "All right, then. I'll walk you out."
"Sure." Yun Ze nodded, and the two continued forward. The gate they had entered through was not far ahead.
"By the way, what pills are you going to refine?" Gu Yue Na asked curiously, tilting her head as her beautiful eyes rested on Yun Ze.
Up to now, she had only seen Yun Ze refine a Transformation Pill once. When he had taught Bi Ji before, he had only provided verbal guidance rather than demonstrating it himself.
Now that she heard Yun Ze was going to refine pills again, her curiosity was immediately piqued.
Seeing Gu Yue Na's curious look, Yun Ze could not help but laugh softly. "They aren't any new pills, just ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills."
"Didn't that Fire Pattern Engraving Knife cost one hundred and thirty million? I can't just take the money Bi Ji and the others earned for nothing, so I'll refine some pills as compensation."
Gu Yue Na stopped short. She had not expected Yun Ze to refine pills for that reason and quickly said, "You don't need to do that. You've helped us so much. If we are being honest, we owe you, not the other way around."
"You can use the money we earn however you like. Even if you spend it all, we won't say a word."
"After all, you taught us how to make money. Isn't it only natural for you to use it?"
Yun Ze looked up at Gu Yue Na, sensing the sincerity in her eyes. He smiled faintly and said,
"Everyone has their own way of doing things. You may think it is only natural for me to take it, but I don't see it that way."
"I'm not used to taking things from others for free. Only by refining some pills as compensation can I accept it with a clear conscience."
"But..." Gu Yue Na wanted to say more, but Yun Ze interrupted her before she could.
"Pill Refining is a trivial matter to me. There's no need for us to argue too much over this," Yun Ze said.
Hearing Yun Ze say that, Gu Yue Na gave him a helpless look and said no more.
The two continued on, and Yun Ze casually asked, "How is your cultivation of the Demon God Art I gave you going?"
At the mention of the Demon God Art, excitement flashed through Gu Yue Na's eyes before dimming again. Somewhat embarrassed, she said,
"The Demon God Art is too profound. It's very difficult to cultivate, and I'm still only at the early stage of the first layer..."
Yun Ze stopped and glanced sideways at Gu Yue Na. Feeling his gaze, her cheeks flushed red with shame.
"Circulate the Demon God Art. Don't resist my spiritual power," Yun Ze said calmly, suddenly taking Gu Yue Na's hand.
Caught by the hand so suddenly, Gu Yue Na panicked and instinctively wanted to pull away. But once she realized it was Yun Ze, she simply let him hold her hand quietly.
Following Yun Ze's instructions, she silently circulated the Demon God Art. The instant she did, she felt a strand of spiritual power enter her body.
She suppressed her instinct to resist, allowing Yun Ze to examine her condition without obstruction.
She understood Yun Ze's character and knew that he would never harm her at a time like this or take the opportunity to pry into anything.
Yun Ze carefully sensed the circulation of energy within Gu Yue Na's body. More than ten seconds later, he released her hand.
"There are some problems with your cultivation. I'll help you correct them tomorrow. It will be much smoother for you afterward," Yun Ze said.
Now that he knew the problems Gu Yue Na faced, resolving them would not be difficult. He only needed to provide a little guidance.
The Demon God Art was a cultivation method he had created himself over the past few years by observing how soul beasts circulated their Soul Power. It had been tailored specifically for soul beasts.
The cultivation method had seven layers, each divided into early, middle, and late stages. It cultivated both the body and the spirit.
As long as one could cultivate to the fifth layer, one would basically possess the ability to break free of this world's rules and become a so-called deity.
Upon reaching the seventh layer, one should be able to become a so-called God King. This was Yun Ze's judgment based on the energy within Gu Yue Na's body before she took human form.
Half a year ago, he had taught this cultivation method to Gu Yue Na. For the time being, she was the only one he had taught it to, as he intended to first observe the results of her cultivation.
Gu Yue Na's progress was not slow, but it had not yet reached the speed he expected.
"Okay." Gu Yue Na agreed excitedly. She could sense the extraordinary nature of this cultivation method. If she continued cultivating it, it would greatly improve her strength.
This help was not limited to the present. Even after her strength had fully recovered, it would still be of great benefit to her. In other words, she could benefit from it for the rest of her life.
Naturally, she hoped to cultivate such a miraculous method well.
