Academy Life
Philipzi Warrior Academy was the number one warrior academy in the entire Northwest Province.
Philipzi Warrior Academy was located in the outskirts. The testing site was merely an annex built by the wealthy Philipzi Academy to recruit students. The academy itself was in the outskirts near the edge of the Magical Beast Forest, in a deserted stretch of open mountain ridges.
Restaurants, clothing stores, bars, and other service establishments were all located inside the academy. It could be said that the students of Philipzi Warrior Academy lived entirely within its grounds.
"Now this is impressive." Luo Feng stood at the gates of Philipzi Warrior Academy with his younger brother, Luo Fu, and could not help exclaiming in admiration.
The main gate of Pulipusi Warrior Academy was a full fifty meters wide. Above it stood an enormous crescent-shaped structure covered in all kinds of profound magical runes. Their complexity alone showed how valuable it was.
The academy gates were rather busy at the moment. A row of staff members were on duty, and a boy was presenting his acceptance letter and identification to complete his enrollment. Luo Feng and Luo Fu immediately took out their own acceptance letters and identification and went to enroll as well.
Looking at their school cards, Luo Feng saw that Luo Fu was in dormitory 201, while he himself was in 311. That meant the brothers would not be living in the same dormitory. Luo Feng felt a little disappointed, but fortunately, Luo Fu needed to learn to live on his own too. He could not always rely on his brother.
After saying goodbye to Luo Fu, the brothers parted ways, and Luo Feng headed for his dormitory, 311.
He pushed open the dormitory door and saw a little boy of eight or nine, dressed in fine clothes, with dark blond hair. He had his hands behind his head and his feet propped up at the end of his bed, humming an unfamiliar tune.
"Hi! You're here!" Luo Feng took the initiative to greet him, treating this roommate whose name he did not know in a friendly manner. After all, the two of them would be living in the same dormitory for a long time, and if they got along, they would feel more at ease around each other.
Who would have thought the boy would not even look at him, but simply go on humming his tune? Seeing that, Luo Feng lost interest. He found a bed near the corner, sat down, and began cultivating cross-legged. He really would not pass up a single chance to cultivate.
At Philipzi Warrior Academy, classes were held for the first fifteen days of each month, with no classes for the remaining fifteen. The schedule was generally very relaxed. There were six grades in all, each with its own building. Beginners and first- and second-level warriors were in the first grade, third-level warriors in the second, fourth-level in the third, fifth-level in the fourth, sixth-level in the fifth, and seventh-level in the sixth. Students could apply to graduate once they reached the sixth grade.
Sixth-grade students could apply to graduate at any time. Of course, they could also continue studying if they did not apply.
In the first-year S class, Luo Feng listened with great interest as the instructor lectured at the front of the room. Hearing him recount the history of the Yulan Continent, Luo Feng felt his blood boil.
Blood-Eyed Mane Lions of all sizes, Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Apes with boundless strength, Nine-Headed Serpent Emperors capable of destroying heaven and earth, terrifying Thunder Dragons wielding destructive lightning... The powerful could soar through the skies atop a black dragon's head, while terrifying magic could burn rivers, destroy cities, and level mountains...
Nearly a month had passed. During that time, he had seen Luo Fu too. The kid had hit it off with everyone in his dormitory and had practically become their boss, leaving Luo Feng unsure whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, Luo Fu had not fallen behind in his studies, or Luo Feng would have given him a beating.
During his days at Philipusi Warrior Academy, Luo Feng was like a thirsty traveler in the desert, eagerly devouring the basics of warrior training. Sometimes, even the academy's basic knowledge could be of great help.
Evening, dormitory 311 at Philipzi Warrior Academy.
"Luo Feng, how about we go out and have some fun? We've finally made it through the year, and the New Year is almost here. What do you say we go out together? Ever since you came to the dormitory, all you've done every day is cultivate or go to the library to read unofficial histories of the Yulan Continent or magical beast guides. Isn't that a bit too boring? How about the two of us go out?"
There were four people in dormitory 311. One was the blond who had been cocky as hell when Luo Feng first arrived. Then there was a narcissist who spent every day chasing girls but had never once succeeded. That left the one in front of him, who was relatively normal. Luo Feng got along well with him, and now he was pestering Luo Feng to go out and have fun with him again.
"I'm not going. You go ahead. Or you could use the time to practice your family's battle-qi manual." Luo Feng looked up at his roommate as he ate the food he had brought back from the dining hall.
"I spent half the afternoon practicing while you were in class!" His roommate Laya was telling the truth. Not long after Luo Feng left for the library at noon, Laya had woken up and spent the rest of the time practicing martial techniques and refining his battle qi. But Laya was still young, only nine this year, and at an age when he loved to play. By evening, his body was tired, so he had thought of going out for some fun.
"Then you can keep practicing! The path of a warrior isn't easy. If you want to become strong, you need extraordinary perseverance. Otherwise, success won't come so easily. Go on. I'm going to cultivate in a little while." Luo Feng paid him no further attention and went on eating.
Seeing that Luo Feng was plainly unmoved by his suggestion, Laya said dejectedly, "Since you're not going, I won't go out either. It's no fun playing by myself."
"Heh, you don't have to be so down. Using this time to improve your skills is more important than anything. Strength is what matters when it comes to getting girls, too." Luo Feng had finished eating and planned to tidy up before finding a quiet place to cultivate his battle qi.
"Ugh! Talking to someone with no sense of fun like you is really exhausting." Laya hung his head, as though all his energy had vanished.
Luo Feng immediately set off, running briskly toward the mountain behind the academy. Philipzi Warrior Academy had several thousand students alone, along with many students practicing combat techniques at the academy and quite a few service staff, so there were plenty of people around.
Along the way, he saw quite a few senior students dressed in sky-blue warrior outfits. "Roar~~" A low growl rang out.
Luo Feng looked toward the sound, and his eyes lit up. "A magical beast!"
It had a flowing mane, smooth dark-red fur, and thick, powerful limbs. Its wild, cold eyes held a tiger's unique, domineering presence, while its icy claws, gleaming like metal, sent a chill through anyone who saw them.
This was not a magical beast a senior student could possess. It was probably an instructor's magical pet, since an ordinary student could not subdue a seventh-level magical beast like a Blazing Tiger.
It's just a magical beast. What's there to be so proud of? A seventh-level magical beast can only make you look impressive in this academy. If you've got what it takes, try showing off outside. Luo Feng felt helpless at some instructor's flashy behavior, though he was still a little envious. He shook his head slightly, then found an empty corner and went off to cultivate quietly.
