Chapter 42: Obtaining Merit (1)

When Su Yu and Chen Hao were splitting the spoils.

In the teachers’ office.

Bai Feng seemed to be a little bored. He sat on a small chair in the teachers’ office and watched as the few of them argued non-stop. When they were almost done, he continued, “Martial uncle, are we still going to lead the preparatory students of Nanyuan Academy?”

“Lead? Do they not need funds to live in Great Xia?”

Liu Wenyan rebutted with a single sentence. Bai Feng had a helpless look on his face. (You guys said you wanted to do it previously, so I’m just asking.)

“Martial Uncle, do you have any plans to temper your body? Do you have any powerful essence blood or origin qi pills in Nanyuan that you can use?”

As soon as he said this, the old academy head instantly froze. He then laughed dryly and said, “That… Researcher Bai, the Great Xia Civilization Academy…”

“There’s no need to beg them!”

Liu Wenyan said indifferently, I’ll just slowly temper. In any case, there’s no rush since I’ve manifested my will.”

Bai Feng hurriedly said, “Martial uncle, you can’t say that. Without the help of powerful essence blood to temper your body, your body might not be able to reach the level of ordinary Soaring Realm cultivators. It will still have a huge impact on your future.”

“The stronger the blood essence, the greater the help it will be to you. If you have the blood essence of Soaring Realm Gods and Devils to refine and forge your foundation, with your strong will, you will have a chance to instantly forge a level three Soaring Realm foundation.”

The cultivation of the will didn’t focus on the body in the early stages.

However, they had to pay attention to it when it came to the Soaring Realm. This was the start of the Physical Body Foundation Establishment realm.

The stronger the Gods and Devils’ blood used, the stronger the foundation for forging.

Liu Wenyan pretended not to hear him. The blood of gods and devils?

Gods and Devils of the Soaring Realm!

Where was he supposed to look?

It was very difficult to kill a god or devil in the Allskies Battlefield. Moreover, the gods and devils in the Allskies Battlefield were mostly at the Soaring Realm. It wasn’t suitable for them to be too strong or weak. It was best if they were at the Soaring Realm.

Liu Wenyan had never thought of using the blood of gods and devils to build his foundation. Even in civilization academies, there weren’t many who could use the blood of gods and devils to build their foundation.

This was too rare!

Seeing that Liu Wenyan was ignoring him, Bai Feng thought for a moment and said, “Teacher seems to still have a few drops of the Soaring Realm Sky Tiger’s blood essence. The Sky Tiger is also very strong and has a strong body. Why don’t Martial Uncle tell Teacher…”

“Scram!”

Liu Wenyan had just finished scolding when the old academy head spoke with an agitated expression, “Sky Tiger? The blood essence of a Sky Tiger that is rank 32nd among all races?”

“Mn.”

“Old Liu!”

The academy head spoke agitatedly, “Don’t be so stubborn and want to save face! Rely on yourself and on our Nanyuan, where can we get the blood essence of the races that are ranked in the top 100 on the All-Races List? Even if the Sky Tiger isn’t comparable to gods and devils, the difference isn’t great either. It can directly reach the second or even third level of the Physical Body Foundation Establishment realm and soar into the air. You’re already so old. Could it be that you want to waste a few more years in the early stages of the Soaring Realm?”

Without a powerful blood essence Foundation Establishment, Liu Wenyan would need at least five or ten years to cultivate to the third level of Soaring Realm.

He was already in his seventies. How much time did he have to waste?

At the side, the Longwu Guard’s captain, Xia Bing, opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but hesitated. After some consideration, he said in a muffled voice, “Teacher Liu, the sky tiger’s blood essence is indeed very strong. I think it’s better to go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy and ask for a few drops of it. Right now, the All-Races Sect has entered the Great Xia Prefecture, and the strength of Nanyuan is limited… We still need Teacher Liu to take care of us.”

The Sky Tiger’s blood essence was at the Foundation Establishment realm. If one’s luck was bad, they would reach the second level of the Soaring Realm. If they were lucky, they would reach the third level. Moreover, their foundation was solid. It might only take them a few years to break through to the mid-stage.

A few years later, Nanyuan would have an expert at the mid-stage of the Soaring Realm, and it wouldn’t be as difficult to defend as it was now.

Liu Wenyan ignored them and looked at Bai Feng with a frown. “You don’t have to worry about these things. Bai Feng, how many people are the Great Xia Civilization Academy planning to recruit in Nanyuan this time around?”

“Around ten.”

Bai Feng smiled. “Martial Uncle, how many are you planning to add?”

Liu Wenyan didn’t reply and continued, “How many people are you recruiting in total?”

“About 2,000 people, but 500 of them are reserved for the other prefectures. The remaining ones are for the Great Xia Prefecture. The Great Xia Prefecture recruits about 1,500 people in total. According to the ratio, the prefecture cities recruit about 1,000 people every year, and the remaining 28 cities.

Among the 28 cities, Nanyuan was the smallest and weakest, so they had the fewest quotas.

About 10. This was the number of students the Great Xia Civilization Academy recruited in Nanyuan every year.

“I want to add a few more this year!”

Liu Wenyan spoke, “At least two more!”

“Martial uncle, I can’t make the decision…”

“There are at least two slots for assistant researchers. Since you managed to kill a fourth level Soaring Realm expert, you can use the slots to exchange for it.”

“Martial uncle, aren’t you being unreasonable? I was the one who killed him. If I didn’t come, you guys wouldn’t have been able to kill him…”

“Right, I am unreasonable!”

Liu Wenyan was prepared to be unreasonable. “Nanyuan has lost over ten students this time around. Right now, the students are in low spirits. This is Nanyuan’s responsibility and also the Great Xia Prefecture’s responsibility. The Great Xia Prefecture didn’t come to our aid in time. This is something they shouldn’t have done!”

“Increase the quota and get the students get over from their low spirits as soon as possible. Shouldn’t that be the case?”

Bai Feng opened his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

Even though these two spots weren’t very useful to him, if he really did them a favor, it would be a huge favor.

Forget it. Bai Feng said helplessly, “Alright, Martial Uncle. In that case, Nanyuan will have two more slots. However, the prerequisite is that you have to meet the basic requirements. Otherwise, you won’t be able to join. Even if you join, you will be kicked out.”

Liu Wenyan finally revealed a smile. “Of course! Of these two basic spots, one is for Su Yu and the other is for Liu Yue!”

“…”

Everyone looked at him. How cunning!

These two were almost guaranteed. If you gave them the spots, wouldn’t it be 90% guaranteed?
