Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Treatment
Everything came to an end with the County Magistrate’s decision. Nobody in the County Town dared to oppose the Magistrate’s will, not even Kit Nelson, who could only glare at Peter Brown.
At this time, Levi West took a deep breath as he sat down on the ground. He didn’t expect such a turn of events.
"Congratulations, old Chen!" Hayley Smith looked enviously at Levi West, helping him up.
"Ah, I never thought the outcome would be like this!"
"Hehe, Landowner_Wang is truly an extraordinary person, changing the situation. Now he’s an official student of the Academy! The status of formal student in the academy is not so easy to come by. When we fought so hard for many years, we barely got the status of a quasi-student!"
Levi West looked at Peter on the Arena Platform, sighing, "I underestimated Landowner_Wang!"
"Now he can’t be called Landowner_Wang anymore, he should be called County_Prince_Wang."
"You’re right, he should be called County_Prince_Wang now!"
"Haha, it seems you won’t have to pay the cultivation coins every year. As County_Prince_Wang grows stronger, your village will prosper!"
As the two were discussing, many people looked at Peter with complex expressions.
However, no matter what people thought, one thing was certain: from now on, Peter was no longer a weakling but someone with a status at least within the academy.
Alas!
A few young masters looked at Peter and couldn’t help but sigh. They had no confidence to fight Peter. Moreover, their Foundation Establishment was built on elixirs. No one dared to go all-in with Peter at the moment.
"Alright, everyone. The Life-and-Death Battle has ended."
A deacon waved at the crowd.
"Peter Brown, according to the rules, from now on, you are an official student of the Academy. The official student from our county has a special title called County Prince. From now on, you’ll be called County_Prince_Wang. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Magistrate, and all the deacons."
Peter cupped his fists in salute.
"Well, follow me. I’ll take you to get enrolled."
Peter turned to look at Levi and his group, nodding slightly, then followed the deacon inside.
As he walked along the path, he felt a completely different atmosphere. When he stepped into the courtyard, he discovered it was entirely different from the outside. There were many Spirit Fields on both sides, planted with valuable Lingcao he had not seen before. Moreover, there were some Spirit Beasts being raised in the area, and Peter could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here was countless times stronger than the outside world.
"In our academy, we have more than two hundred County Princes, but they all have a cultivation at Foundation Establishment stage or above. You are an exception, as you are only at the Qi Refining stage. According to the rules, you must reach the Foundation Establishment stage within five years; otherwise, your County Prince status will be revoked. Remember that."
"I understand."
Soon, Peter arrived in a spacious and bright hall. Once there, the deacon recounted Peter’s circumstances to a sturdy-looking man with a strong aura.
The sturdy man glanced at Peter and chuckled, "Not bad, not bad."
He didn’t say what was not bad but handed Peter a ring instead, "From now on, you are an official disciple of the academy. This is your benefit package: a Cultivation Technique, a long sword, a bottle of elixirs, and one hundred cultivation coins, which have been deposited in your Identity Card."
A ring was a must-have item for every disciple, and a set of scholarly-looking clothes was stored inside it as well.
Peter thanked them after taking a look.
"I am Ethan Richardson, one of the deacons here. If you need anything, feel free to find me."
The deacon who brought Peter smiled and said, "Peter, your accommodation will be arranged by Deacon Ethan."
Ethan Richardson looked at Peter and said, "Your situation is a bit special. You’re not at Foundation Establishment stage so staying with them might cause trouble. So, you can choose between two places. One is the more remote Skyreach Mountain, where there is a Spirit Field in need of a caretaker. The other is a dormitory in the academy. Choose."
"If I look after the Spirit Field, will I be free from disturbance?"
Ethan Richardson smiled and said, "Correct. People are generally not allowed to enter or fight in Spirit Field areas. Staying there will be relatively safer."
"Lord Deacon, as you know, I’m a landowner of Clear Water Village. I have ten thousand acres of Spirit Fields to manage there. Will I be allowed to go back and manage them while I’m in the academy?"
Ethan Richardson smiled and said, "Of course, that’s not a problem. As long as it doesn’t interfere with your studies in the Academy, you can freely travel back and forth. However, keep in mind that the distance between Clear Water Village and the academy is long. If you rely on Sword Flying, it will take a lot of time and will be inconvenient. In general, a teleportation formation is set up for such cases."
The deacon who brought Peter said, "Setting up a teleportation formation requires a lot of money, which you all have to bear on your own."
Peter relaxed, knowing that this convenience would make him even safer. He bowed and said, "I understand."
Seeing Peter’s polite behavior, both men appreciated him. Ethan Richardson advised, "Keep one thing in mind: in this academy, the Magistrate’s will is supreme. As long as you don’t break any rules and listen to the Magistrate, you are safe."
Although it was a casual remark, Peter’s heart stirred, and he knew a lot about the situation, thinking that the county still had a complicated situation.
"I’ll choose to look after the Spirit Field."
Seeing Peter had made a choice, Ethan Richardson nodded slightly and handed him a Token, "Very well, from now on, you are the caretaker of Skyreach Mountain. Remember, you are responsible for the planting there."
After taking the Token, Peter asked, "What about my studies?"
"Although you are quite far away, there is still a teleportation formation between Skyreach Mountain and the academy so, you don’t need to worry about that. Just remember, for the first month, you need to come to the academy every day to attend classes. After a month, as long as you pass the examinations, the academy’s management will be more relaxed. Of course, due to your special circumstances, the Magistrate allows you to manage your own affairs before officially starting classes."
Although he wasn’t sure about the details, Peter knew from now on that he would be considered a County Prince.
When he realized that he finally had a good foothold in the Cultivation World, Peter’s mood lifted tremendously.
