Chapter 290 - 290 290 Unusual

Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Unusual Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Unusual Zhang Min, accompanied by Jing Yan, went to register at the Affairs Hall of Dao Yi Academy.

Any new martial artist joining Dao Yi Academy had to go to the Academy’s Affairs Hall to register.

Once registered successfully, one officially became a student of Dao Yi Academy and could receive an identity token, student attire, and other miscellaneous items.

“Jing Yan, our Dao Yi Academy mainly consists of two parts, the Inner Court and the Outer Court.

You see that Dao Yi Mountain Range over there?

That is where the Inner Court students practice.

Each Inner Court student can have a mountain peak all to themselves.

Outer Court students, however, are not allowed to enter the Dao Yi Mountain Range,” Zhang Min, her beautiful eyes fixated on the vast mountain range, said to Jing Yan.

“Sister, are you an Outer Court or an Inner Court student?” Jing Yan casually asked.

“The Inner Court isn’t so easy to enter.

Let me tell you, to enter the Inner Court, one must ascend the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

Even martial artists at the Peak of Innate sometimes fail to ascend the ladder,” Zhang Min’s eyes gleamed with longing.

“Oh, it seems quite difficult to become an Inner Court student,” Jing Yan nodded.

“Not just difficult, it’s as tough as reaching the heavens.

Inner Court students hold a much higher status than us from the Outer Court,” Zhang Min shook her head, “Jing Yan, if you ever meet an Inner Court student, you must not offend them and always be respectful.

Otherwise, if you anger them, they might kill you on the spot.”

“Oh?

Inner Court students can kill Outer Court students at will?” Jing Yan blinked.

“Although the academy rules state that students should not kill each other indiscriminately, if an Inner Court student kills an Outer Court student, they usually receive only a minor punishment.

The Criminal Punishment Hall does not really pursue the responsibilities of Inner Court students too harshly,” Zhang Min said with a somewhat helpless expression.

“Hmm, it seems Inner Court students truly are superior,” Jing Yan nodded again.

“Yes, Inner Court students are martial artists who hold great hope of becoming Dao Spirit Realm warriors.

Jing Yan, look, that’s our Dao Yi Academy’s Treasure Vault.

Students of Dao Yi Academy can exchange resources in the vault.

However, you can only exchange using academy points.

After you register, the academy will award you some points,” Zhang Min pointed to a large building and explained to Jing Yan.

“Can I exchange them for Secret Techniques?” Jing Yan’s eyes twinkled.

“Exchange Secret Techniques?” Zhang Min blinked, “That’s not easy, ordinary students cannot exchange for such resources!”

“To exchange for Secret Techniques, you must be a high-level student and have enough points!

Jing Yan, our Outer Court students are also ranked.

There are low-level, intermediate, and high-level students.

High-level students have the highest status among the Outer Court students.

The higher the rank, the more precious the resources you can exchange for in the Treasure Vault.

Secret Techniques require the status of a high-level student; otherwise, no matter how many points you have, you cannot exchange for Secret Techniques.”

“Generally, martial artists at the Innate Middle Stage can advance to intermediate students.

Martial artists at the Late Innate Stage can advance to high-level students.

And those at the Peak of Innate Stage can try to ascend the Heavenly Ascension Ladder and become Inner Court students,” Zhang Min’s gaze swept over Jing Yan as she smiled.

“Jing Yan, you’ve just arrived at our Dao Yi Academy; you’ll naturally come to know these things in time,” Zhang Min gently waved her jade-like hand.

“Look, there’s the Pill Tower!

That’s the Artifact Tower, and that’s the Array Tower!”

Zhang Min pointed to the three connected buildings in the view.

“Jing Yan, there’s the Affairs Hall up ahead!”

It had taken almost thirty minutes from their entrance into Dao Yi Academy to reach the Affairs Hall.

Inside Dao Yi Academy, the Affairs Hall was a rather special institution.

It might not appear very important, but it was closely related to every student of Dao Yi Academy.

New martial artists joining Dao Yi Academy had to report to the Affairs Hall.

Students seeking promotion also needed to apply for assessment at the Affairs Hall.

Even Outer Court students ascending the Heavenly Ascension Ladder had to register at the Affairs Hall and obtain permission before they could proceed.

Zhang Min led Jing Yan into the Affairs Hall.

There were quite a few martial artists inside the Affairs Hall, as in recent days, many newcomers had joined Dao Yi Academy, making these days some of the busiest for the Affairs Hall.

Fortunately, there were several registration counters set up, so Zhang Min and Jing Yan didn’t need to line up and soon approached a deacon in charge of registering information.

“What’s the matter?” The deacon, dressed in a gray robe, glanced at Zhang Min and Jing Yan and asked indifferently.

He was He Kun, a deacon within the Affairs Hall.

“Lord Deacon, there’s a new recruit reporting,” Zhang Min spoke first.

“Name!” He Kun asked in a flat voice.

“Jing Yan!” Jing Yan responded.

“Jing Yan?” He Kun, who had been half-squinting his eyes, suddenly opened them wider, a spark of keen interest flashing as he began to scrutinize Jing Yan.

“Which Jing Yan?” He Kun asked again after a slight pause.

“Donglin City’s Jing Yan!” Jing Yan said with a slight frown.

Beside him, Zhang Min also showed a puzzled look, seeing the expression of Deacon He Kun, as if he had heard the name Jing Yan before.

Zhang Min subconsciously looked at Jing Yan, contemplating that within Lanqu County City, there seemed to be no prominent families with the surname Jing.

Why did Deacon He Kun appear as if he recognized the name Jing Yan?

Descendants of prominent families from Lanqu County City who came to register were generally given more attention.

It was natural for people of different statuses to receive some attention or preferential treatment.

Then, Zhang Min heard Jing Yan mention himself as Jing Yan from Donglin City.

She furrowed her brows and recalled, realizing she had never heard of Donglin City; a city she hadn’t heard of must be a small one.

Although she had almost never visited the larger cities within Lanqu County, she had at least heard their names.

But Donglin City, she had no recollection of it.

However, what surprised Zhang Min even more was that Deacon He Kun suddenly stood up, even his breathing momentarily halted as he stared intently at Jing Yan.

“Jing Yan, wait here for a moment,” He Kun left these words and then turned and quickly walked away.

Jing Yan frowned as he watched He Kun leave, unsure of what was happening.

Zhang Min, too, had a face full of confusion.

This was somewhat different from the normal registration procedure.

Usually, when new recruits came to Dao Yi Academy to register, they would directly register their personal information with the deacon in charge, receive their identity token, and officially become a student of Dao Yi Academy.

So, what was the situation now?

Why had Deacon He Kun suddenly left, asking Jing Yan to wait a bit?

Zhang Min’s surprised gaze rested on Jing Yan, her beautiful eyes intently staring, as if trying to discern what was special about him.
