In the pavilion, the residual sound of the qin's music falls, bringing a moment of stillness.

  Li Luo and the three others were clearly shocked, after all, no one had ever told them that such a cruel reality existed in this world.

  But it's also normal that if this kind of news is spread recklessly, it will inevitably trigger greater chaos and fear. Ordered isolation may not necessarily be a bad thing.

  "The battlefield of kings and marquises is extremely special, where every step is a killing opportunity, with unparalleled danger. However, there are also many opportunities within it. According to some rough statistics, the number of strong individuals who break through from the Marquis realm to the King level on the battlefield of kings and marquises far exceeds those outside."

  "Therefore, there are also many true strongmen with great courage who proactively go there to temper themselves."

  "However, whether it's voluntary or involuntary, those who enter the king's battle arena are worthy of our respect. Because of their existence, we can cultivate and improve ourselves in peace."

  "In a sense, they are heroes."

  Li Luo fell silent, his expression complex. Was he a hero? Perhaps it was more of a helpless situation. If there were choices, which parent would be willing to abandon their child and head into the unknown where life and death awaited?

  However, the Wanghou battlefield is not the only way for aliens to enter this world, because they are also constantly opening up other channels, which we call "Yi Chao Zhi Men". The voice of Qi Xuan's instructor came back from the Wanghou battlefield and continued.

  "The portal of the other world carries some randomness, sometimes it is difficult to detect. In the past, there was a sudden appearance of the portal of the other world, which led to countless deaths and even caused the downfall of a country, leaving nothing but desolation within a radius of ten thousand miles."

  "This anomaly is actually the target that the Academic Alliance has been keeping a close eye on. Once there are signs of an anomaly, all academies in this region must dispatch their elite to eliminate and destroy it at the first opportunity."

  "This nation and various powers, normally in constant dispute, even among different schools of thought, are filled with competition. However, when faced with an alien species, all forces must put aside their differences and unite to resist."

  Her voice grew weaker, and she looked at the somewhat dazed young men and women in front of her, knowing that this information had a huge impact on them. After all, just a moment ago, their lives were considered peaceful, but now they have come into contact with more of the truth of this world, and naturally, they need to bear more pressure.

  "But you don't have to think too much, the heterodox are indeed a threat to the human race, but it's not up to you little ones to worry about it. If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up." She comforted them with a gentle tone.

  Three people barely cracked a smile, this information, wanting to digest it, still needs some time, but Instructor Hu said that's not wrong, telling them about the existence of aliens is just letting them understand more about this world, with their current strength, they don't have the ability or qualifications to worry about what impact aliens will have, for them, it's indeed a bit far-fetched.

  Li Luo finally understood why Jiang Qing'e didn't tell him about the Wang Hou war situation earlier, because telling him would only give him unnecessary trouble.

  After all, he was worried about Li Taixuan and Tan Tai Lan, so he couldn't directly rush onto the battlefield of Wang Hou.

  At this moment, Li Luo once again deeply felt the importance of his own strength.

  Aberrants and whatnot, let's put that aside for now. For the time being, I still need to continuously enhance my own strength within this Sacred Profound Star Academy. After all, no matter how terrifying aberrants are, they can't be more frightening than his remaining lifespan of less than five years, right?

  I'd rather die than be afraid of you.

  After understanding all this, Li Luo's expression gradually relaxed.

  The atmosphere in the pavilion is also liberated from the previous repression.

  Gu Xiang did not say anything more about the heterodox and the royal battlefield, but instead said: "From now on, in the Academy, you will live in the small building next door, which has three floors. Each of you will occupy one floor."

  "Daily cultivation, I will guide you individually and also apply for some cultivation resources for you."

  Li Luo's eyes sparkled slightly as he raised his hand and said, "Can I apply for some Ling Shui Qi Guang? Around sixth-grade is fine, don't need too many, even ten per month would be okay."

  Huang Chu's eyes widened as she glared at Li Luo, saying irritably: "Do you think the Sacred Profound Star Academy is running a charity? Who can afford to spend ten sixth-grade spiritual water crystals every month?"

  "What about those five?" Li Luo asked persistently.

  "Not a single one! The Holy Mystical Academy doesn't provide free Lingshui Qiguang resources!" said Instructor Gui Cu.

  "However, if you really need the Lingshui Qiguang, I can help you communicate with the Quanxiang Academy. They will have some stock, but this is something that needs to be paid for. At most, they'll give you a 10% discount since you're an academic."

  Do I need to pay?

  That's really not good.

  Li Luo let out a disappointed sigh, thinking he could get something for free after all.

  "Teacher, can I ask another question?" Li Luo said.

  Gu Xiang glanced at him, then looked at Bai Mengmeng and Xin Fu, who were sitting there quietly without making a sound. It seemed that this Li Luo was not an obedient person.

  "Say."

  Li Luo asked seriously: "May I ask what method can be used to obtain Emperor's Flowing Liquid?"

  "Imperial Soup?"

  The instructor, Guan Yu, was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of a smile crept into his voice: "You're really not ordinary in your ambitions, are you? The Emperor's Flowing Dew is the top cultivation resource in the academy. If you make contributions to the academy, they'll use it as a reward for you."

  "What about this contribution?" Li Luo asked curiously.

  "For example, to bring glory to the school... I didn't say before that Shengxuan Xing Academy doesn't have any competitors. Just in this Eastern Divine State, there are already numerous powers like stars in the sky. And our Shengxuan Xing Academy has several of them too. They are old rivals of our Shengxuan Xing Academy after all. Who wouldn't want to become the strongest academy in the Eastern Divine State?"

  "If it becomes the strongest school in the Eastern Divine State, the School Alliance will also provide huge resource support. At that time, the entire school will benefit from it. Therefore, for this strongest school competition, various schools in the Eastern Divine State are competing with each other without any mercy."

  "And this academic dispute, it's also impossible to let the instructors or deans fight each other to the death, that would be too ugly. So in the end, isn't it just about competing in some matches to see the abilities of you students?"

  "If you can stand out in these competitions, no matter how much Emperor's Flowing Dew you want, the academies will definitely satisfy you."

  Li Luo's face turned slightly dark upon hearing this, and he thought to himself that this process was all too familiar. The Nanfeng Academy wasn't it also very concerned about the golden signboard of being the number one academy in Tianxu County? He didn't think that the Shengxuan Star Academy would be so superficial as well!

  What's most important is that he's just a one-star disciple, what qualifications does he have to help the Holy Mystic Star Academy compete? That's clearly something only four-star disciples or Jiang Qing'e and her peers would be capable of.

  "In addition to these competitions that bring glory to the school, if your school points can reach 5,000 points, you can also exchange for a bottle of Emperor's Flowing Dew." At this time, Master Huai Xiang added.

  "What's this about academic points? Five thousand points?" Li and Luo exchanged curious glances.

  "There's nothing strange, the so-called school points are just some performances or tasks you earn in the school, such as the monthly exams for each department every month, and also the tasks released by the school, which have different amounts of points. The existence of points is to motivate students' practice, this is a very common and effective measure."

  "Don't underestimate the role of academic credits, they can not only be exchanged for many special cultivation items that are unique to Shengxuan Xing Academy, but even Hou-level energy guidance techniques can be obtained. In short, it has many uses and will run through your entire academic career, so you should seize every opportunity to earn credits."

  "Monthly exam?" Li Luo felt a bit helpless, this school's credit system seemed quite difficult to deal with.

  I don't know if I can buy points from others with a large amount of gold?

  Li Luo had a crooked idea, after all, he was the young master of the Luo Ran government, and his family still had some wealth.

  But Guan Xian, the instructor, seemed to know what was on their minds and smiled lightly: "Points can only be earned by oneself and cannot be traded. The school also severely cracks down on this behavior. Please ask each of you to be self-disciplined and not to violate the school's rules."

  Li Luoxin felt awkward in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show anything. He turned to face Bai Mengmeng and said in a deep voice, "You must remember the instructor's teachings and don't tarnish our team's reputation."

  Bai Mengmeng blinked her big, bright eyes, while Xin Fu gave him a silent glance and continued to maintain his sulky state.

  "In addition, the three of you are now considered a small group. In the future, if there is a task, it is likely that you will be together, so it's best to choose a leader among yourselves to avoid disputes and indecision later on." Instructor Gui continued, ignoring Li Luo.

  "Captain?"

  Li Luo heard this and suddenly shook his head violently in his heart. What kind of captain's power is this, still having to consider the team members? It's really like a pot lid coming down, being crushed first.

  Only an unlucky kid would become this kind of boring team leader.

  So Li Luo directly observed their facial expressions and body language, waiting for either of the other two to make a slight sound, and he would immediately offer his full support.

  "That Xinyu moved... Young people just can't grasp it."

  At this moment, Li Luo felt that Xīn Fú beside him had made a move, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  On the side, Xin Fu raised his hand, and under the black hood, a weak voice that seemed to have not eaten for days came out: "I... I concede."

  Bai Mengmeng also lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I... I also concede."

  Gu Xiu nodded and looked at Li Luo, saying: "Since the two of them have withdrawn, then Li Luo is the captain."

  Li Luo's smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and he cursed silently in his heart.

  Damn it, I messed up this time, my teammates are totally useless.

  I'm still observing, and you're directly giving up?!

  Play with hair!
