Returning to the Academy, Medicine Elder's Past!

Returning to the Academy, Medicine Elder's Past!

After confirming his identity, the leader of the Law Enforcement Patrol Team didn't make things difficult for Wang Chen and simply stepped aside.

With his badge in hand, Wang Chen headed to Peace Town's Flying Magical Beast Station.

It was still some distance from here to Jia Nan Academy.

Wang Chen had no interest in making the trip on foot.

Since Jia Nan Academy had flying magical beasts, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity.

With his current status, renting a flying magical beast wasn't a problem.

Traveling by flying magical beast, Wang Chen naturally arrived at Canaan City with ease.

After paying the fee, Wang Chen immediately hurried toward Jia Nan Academy.

The Flame Elf had been cooped up for several days this time. If this continued, it might throw a tantrum.

Children like this still needed to be coaxed.

Wang Chen planned to find a safe, secluded place first and let the Flame Elf out to pacify it.

The gains from this trip had already been quite good.

And with the Flame Elf's support, taking a short break wouldn't delay his cultivation.

Before long, Wang Chen arrived at his private dormitory.

"Meep!!"

The moment he entered the dormitory, Wang Chen summoned the Flame Elf.

As soon as it came out, the Flame Elf immediately let out a dissatisfied cry.

It made it clear that without anything tasty, Wang Chen shouldn't expect its forgiveness.

As its host, Wang Chen naturally understood the Flame Elf's temperament.

Without hesitation, he summoned five Flame Spirits.

"Meep meep!!!"

With delicious food before it, the Flame Elf changed its attitude in an instant.

It had been a little unhappy before, but now it was completely excited.

It didn't care at all about what Wang Chen had done earlier and pounced directly at the Flame Spirits.

With five Flame Spirits laid out before it, the Flame Elf took a bite from one, then another.

Like a monkey in a vegetable garden, it only regretted not having two more hands.

After placating the Flame Elf, Wang Chen went to find his teacher.

He had been away from Jia Nan Academy for nearly a month, so he had to let his teacher know he had returned safely.

After all, Medicine Elder cared deeply about him.

"Teacher, I'm back."

In Medicine Elder's Study, Wang Chen pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing Medicine Elder reading a handwritten notebook, Wang Chen spoke directly.

"You're back!"

Hearing Wang Chen's voice, Medicine Elder immediately set down the book in his hands.

Though he didn't show too much outwardly, Wang Chen could still sense the joy in Medicine Elder's heart.

Wang Chen was a disciple Medicine Elder valued greatly. It would have been a lie to say he hadn't worried about Wang Chen's trip outside for training.

But he also couldn't stop Wang Chen from going out to gain experience, as it would be tremendously beneficial to Wang Chen's future growth.

Now that Wang Chen had returned safely, Medicine Elder was naturally overjoyed.

"How was it? You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

"Everything went very smoothly. I didn't even need to use the Thunder Shakers you gave me, Teacher."

Wang Chen answered with a smile.

"By the way, Teacher, I'm planning to participate in this Inner Academy Selection Tournament."

After chatting briefly with his teacher, Wang Chen stated his purpose.

"Participating in the selection tournament is good.

With your current strength, there isn't much point in remaining in the Outer Academy.

Once you enter the Inner Academy, you'll be able to grow better."

Medicine Elder strongly approved of Wang Chen's idea.

"By the way, since you're participating in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, do you know about the Inner Academy?"

"Not really."

Hearing Medicine Elder's question, Wang Chen answered directly.

Of course, that wasn't what he truly thought.

Wang Chen had known quite a bit about Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy in his previous life.

But since he had no suitable reason to know information about the Inner Academy right now, he could only tell a small, well-intentioned lie.

"Then I'll give you a brief introduction."

Hearing that Wang Chen didn't know, Medicine Elder had no intention of hiding anything and planned to explain it to his disciple.

Under normal circumstances, this information shouldn't have been revealed in advance.

But Wang Chen was Medicine Elder's most valued disciple, so he naturally wanted to favor him a little.

Besides, this information wasn't top secret. Telling him in advance wasn't a big problem.

"Jia Nan Academy's purpose is to train its students.

Therefore, the Inner Academy completely simulates the outside world.

The strong prey on the weak. As long as no one dies, the academy won't interfere.

If you want to make your way there, you'll have to rely on your own abilities."

"In the Inner Academy, the most important thing is Fire Energy.

With enough Fire Energy, you can exchange it for any resource you want.

Fire Energy can be said to be the Inner Academy's hard currency."

Medicine Elder briefly explained the Inner Academy's situation to Wang Chen.

"As for your abilities, I'm not worried.

With your alchemy skills and strength, you'll definitely thrive there."

"And after you enter the Inner Academy, I'll go there as well.

If there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me anytime."

As he said this, Medicine Elder stroked his beard, a faint smile on his lips.

As a Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemist, Medicine Elder was originally an elder of the Inner Academy.

The reason he had gone to the Outer Academy was entirely because he had felt too embarrassed to remain in the Inner Academy.

There were several Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemists in Jia Nan Academy.

As the saying went, those of the same trade looked down on one another.

With several Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemists gathered in one place, there was naturally some rivalry between them.

They were all Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemists, each with their own unique skills.

When it came to alchemy, they were more or less evenly matched.

Since they couldn't determine a winner through alchemy, they naturally competed in other areas.

Besides their own alchemy skills, the most important thing for Alchemists was teaching disciples.

If Medicine Elder was evenly matched with the other elders in alchemy,

then in teaching disciples, Medicine Elder had been utterly crushed by the other elders.

The only disciple he could show off was Qi Ming, and even Qi Ming hadn't been personally raised and trained by him from childhood.

Qi Ming had only been accepted as Medicine Elder's disciple midway through, after already showing talent for alchemy and becoming a Tier 2 Alchemist.

Other than Qi Ming, none of the rest were worth mentioning.

The most talented among them had only barely reached the level of a Tier 2 Alchemist.

Among the several elders of the Inner Academy, he naturally had no standing.

That was why he had come to settle in the Outer Academy.

Besides wanting to avoid the other Fifth-Grade Alchemist elders, he had also wanted to search the Outer Academy for a disciple with talent for alchemy.

Taking advantage of being closer to the source, he could accept students with high alchemy talent before anyone else did.

Then he would finally have the face to boast about it for a day in front of his old friends.
