That Would Undoubtedly Be a True Joke

That would undoubtedly become a true joke. Listening to those words by his ear, Lin Tian walked straight into the Inner Academy.

But after Lin Tian entered the Inner Academy, the Inner Academy was completely empty at that moment.

Lin Tian was not the least bit surprised by this.

After all, when he had still been in the Outer Academy, he had already figured out the daily schedule of the Inner Academy disciples.

Generally, only after all the Outer Academy disciples had arrived would those Inner Academy disciples show up.

After entering the Inner Academy, Lin Tian casually found a spot and began cultivating the Mountain-Shaking Fist.

After all, the Limit-Breaking-level Mountain-Shaking Fist required a full ten thousand experience.

And today, he naturally was not here merely to practice his fist technique in a simple fashion.

Today, he also had to find a place where he could go to take up an external post.

And see whether there were any families, or actual powers, that might value him and then provide him with cultivation resources.

Of course, today his main choice was still the former.

As for the latter, he reckoned he would not be able to find one.

After all, if others learned that he had Inferior Bone Quality, then even if he possessed Bright Force, they absolutely could not possibly nurture him.

Sigh, an external post it was, then.

At least an external post could also earn him some silver.

As for what came after, he could only take one step and see one step first.

As time passed, the Inner Academy disciples also entered the Inner Academy one after another.

Everyone naturally saw Lin Tian, who had already arrived early to practice at the side.

However, most of them simply walked straight away.

Even when their gazes met, they all subconsciously ignored Lin Tian's line of sight.

They still looked as if they had not the slightest intention of paying Lin Tian any attention.

Among them, when Zhou Ya saw Lin Tian working hard off to the side in the morning, her brows subconsciously furrowed.

A faint sense of stifled irritation also subconsciously welled up in her heart.

After all, she had said before

that toward people like Lin Tian, who had no talent yet still willingly regarded themselves as extraordinary, she felt the greatest disgust in her heart.

Originally, when Lin Tian had been in the Outer Academy, seeing him had only disturbed her mood somewhat.

Now that Lin Tian had entered the Inner Academy, she only felt the vexation in her heart grow stronger.

Of course, the true root of this emotion was naturally not here.

At this moment, Lin Tian could at most be considered a fuse.

What had truly caused such emotions was still the matter in her family.

The reason she had developed such emotions was because within the Lin Family, there was someone who was likewise one of the candidates to inherit the Lin Family.

The daughter of her second uncle, which was to say, her younger female cousin.

It was said that the other party had connected with a genius from the Wang Family Martial Academy.

And it was said that that genius was almost on the same level as Xiao Tian.

This made her, who had originally believed that because she had attached herself to Xiao Tian, she was firmly seated in the position of the next family heir, suffer a heavy blow on the spot.

After all, at this moment, the other party had attached herself to a genius of the same level.

In this way, her advantage had vanished completely.

This was the true reason for her vexation.

And this vexation had been hidden in her heart all along before this.

Now, the moment she saw Lin Tian, it was completely ignited.

Only because, at that moment, what surfaced in her mind was the time when she had first come into contact with Lin Tian.

Back then, she had wanted to invite Lin Tian in advance to accept the Lin Family's nurturing.

After all, at the time, after she heard that Lin Tian had mastered the Mountain-Shaking Fist in less than a day, she truly had intended to nurture him.

The bookshelf grouping function has been added. Multiple books can be added into groups (categories). If you esteemed readers have any suggestions after using it, you may put them forward, and we will make further modifications.

However, that intention was immediately shattered after he was tested to have Inferior Bone Quality.

After all, if she had brought Lin Tian, this Inferior Bone Quality, back to the Lin Family, the moment Zhou Ya thought of how she had once nearly made a grave mistake because of Lin Tian, this Inferior Bone Quality, the vexation in Zhou Ya's heart made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

For some reason, at that moment, she suddenly thought—

If the person that cousin of hers had gotten involved with was not a genius like that Xiao Tian, but someone like Lin Tian instead, how wonderful would that be!

Vexed at heart, Zhou Ya immediately found a place farthest from Lin Tian and began practicing her punches.

And as time passed, Zhang Ming also quickly entered the Inner Academy.

He did not directly start practicing punches.

After all, he was already at Dark Force cultivation.

That was right—after these past two days of getting along, Lin Tian had learned that Senior Brother Zhang Ming had once been a genuine Dark Force expert.

According to him, for Dark Force to advance to Transformation Force, it was not something that could be easily achieved in a single morning or evening.

The most important thing was comprehending the marvel of Transformation Force.

So his punch practice was also relatively casual.

Seeing him arrive, Lin Tian immediately went up and said, "Lin Tian pays respects to Senior Brother."

Looking at Lin Tian before him, Zhang Ming nodded and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, you have something to ask, don't you?"

Zhang Ming knew very well that Lin Tian before him was practically an ascetic cultivator.

Unless it was a matter as great as the heavens, he absolutely would not come looking for him.

Hearing his question, Lin Tian immediately voiced the thoughts in his heart.

"Taking a post, and also seeing whether any force might value me and nurture me?"

After Zhang Ming heard Lin Tian's words, he understood in his heart as well.

After all, after entering Bright Force, the resources one wanted also increased severalfold.

"Junior Brother, taking a post won't be difficult. After all, once someone reaches Bright Force, there generally won't be anyone who'd look down on them."

"But this nurturing will probably be a little difficult."

Hearing this, Lin Tian understood the meaning in his words.

Then he followed up and said, "Senior Brother, I won't force the matter of nurturing. If there is, then there is; if there isn't, then there's nothing to be done."

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Zhang Ming also nodded.

"Fine. I can help you solve the matter of taking a post right now."

"Currently, after our Martial Academy disciples reach Bright Force, the simplest thing is that there are two choices."

"The first is to enter an Escort Agency and escort goods. Although each mission takes a long time and also carries a certain risk of death, the return for each escort run is incomparably generous."

"The second is to go to the Shipping Bureau and take a temporary work badge. The work would be things like guarding the docks during unloading."

"Although the monthly silver earned there is not much, generally you only need to go once or twice each month."

"And you don't need to do anything. You only need to prevent people from causing trouble at the docks."

After hearing these two options, Lin Tian chose to go to the Shipping Bureau without any hesitation.

After all, he still had to practice martial arts every day to raise his experience.

It was impossible for him to spend a large amount of time escorting goods.

Moreover, that escort work actually carried danger to his life. That was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Senior Brother, I'll choose the Shipping Bureau."

Lin Tian said to Zhang Ming.

Hearing Lin Tian's choice, Zhang Ming nodded and said, "All right, wait here."

As he spoke, Lin Tian immediately walked toward Zhao Cang's study.

When he came back out, he was holding an envelope.

"Take this envelope to the Shipping Bureau in the Inner City, and you'll be able to take up a nominal post."

After handing over the envelope.

Zhang Ming said to Lin Tian again, "As for the matter of training, I'll keep an eye out for you. Don't worry. I'll notify you as soon as I have news."

Hearing this, Lin Tian thanked him with another bow.
