Chapter 54 - Collisions between freshmen and older students

When the ancient gate slowly opened, a black mass of people startled everyone.

Ye Yang roughly estimated that there were at least three thousand people in front of him. Each of them had a tyrannical aura and a powerful cultivation.

Tianwu Academy obviously only accepts students once every three years, so how could so many people come at once?

However, Ye Yang found out about this problem later on. It turned out that Tianwu Academy, other than recruiting once every three years, would usually recruit some "self-funded students".

Unlike the students who passed the examination like Ye Yang and the others, most of them had failed the examination or had already passed the examination. However, they could only gain the right to study by donating a large amount of tuition fees to the Tianwu Academy.

Tianwu Academy recruited disciples once every three years, and those he accepted were all elites. Furthermore, the expenses for raising disciples in the future were all paid by the academy, and this often caused the academy to run out of finances.

However, with the support of "self-help", the academy would no longer have to worry about these headaches.

However, not every family could afford to pay for their own living. The annual tuition of 500,000 gold coins was a huge burden for most families.

Take the Ye Family for example, they could not afford such a student. Only those powerful nobles and rich merchants had such ability.

"The ones in front are all your seniors. They've entered the academy earlier than you, so their cultivation is much higher than yours. So if you want to succeed in the academy in the future, you'll need their care. Go pay your respects to them!"

The rookies had already felt their hearts throbbing from the pressuring auras of the seniors in front of them. The arrogance in their hearts had vanished like smoke in thin air. All of them clasped their fists respectfully in greeting.

However, this didn't include everyone, because the Eight Desolate City Disciple that Ye Yang led did not make a move.

Eight Desolate City Disciple originally wanted to bow, but when they saw Ye Yang, they crossed their arms over their chest in disapproval and stopped in succession.

The others were all bowing, but they were still standing. This made Ye Yang and the others appear very out of the blue.

Initially, the academy had arranged for new students to meet with older students and had intended to demonstrate their prowess, hoping to suppress the arrogance of the new students. Only by doing so would it be beneficial for their management in the future.

The experience they accumulated over the years told them that this method was very practical. Some of the freshmen who had high eyesight and were full of arrogance became more honest when they saw the seniors who were similar in age but several times stronger.

However, something unexpected happened this year. The seniors present were all freshmen, so they had to pay their respects to the seniors.

Today, it was the turn of others to salute them, allowing them to enjoy their old age's dignity. However, there were more than ten people who did not have the slightest intention of bowing, causing their anger to burn.

"Where did this bumpkin come from? How come he doesn't know the rules at all?"

"Idiot, this is equivalent to offending all the older students. Wouldn't he be bullied to death in the future?"

"From the looks of it, they are Eight Desolate City's disciples. However, they still have some backbone this year. I presume they also know that regardless of whether they bow or not, they will still be bullied to the point that they can't even raise their heads," some people said sympathetically.

As everyone was discussing, an arrogant voice sounded out, "You idiots of the Eight Desolate City, don't you know that in the past, your people had to walk on all fours?"

"It's Nan Licheng's man."

"Sigh, looks like this time, the people from the Eight Desolate City are going to have bad luck. It's a pity that there's still a devastatingly beautiful beauty inside. Unfortunately, my strength is lacking and I am unable to save the beauty as a hero …" An elder said gloomily.

The people of Eight Desolate City felt a burst of anger in their hearts, the joy of passing the assessment all disappeared, they knew, their bitter days were about to come.

Ye Yang laughed, then turned to Bai Yunzi and said, "Lord Principal, you want us to pay our respects to such a despicable person? "Aren't you looking down on us freshmen too much?"

Without waiting for Bai Yunzi's reply, he slowly walked towards the pockmarked man.

"Ye Yang, come back. You are not allowed to make a move here, otherwise you will be expelled," Lan Caidie said somewhat anxiously. There were many people in her family, all of them in the Tianwu Academy.

Everyone turned their attention away from Lan Caidie's words and continued to walk towards the pockmarked male even as before.

Ye Yang was wearing a long black robe that floated with each step. With his slender body, he exuded a powerful aura that caused everyone's eyes to light up.

"Wow, what a handsome junior brother!" A female disciple who was infatuated with women exclaimed in a low voice.

"That's right, such an aggressive look. I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest!"

"No! After today, we must find out which dorm he is in. We have to be quick!"

Just as some of the female students were discussing softly, Ye Yang arrived in front of the pockmarked male.

The pockmarked face man continued to look at Ye Yang with disdain as he said, "Pretty boy, what's wrong?" You want to hit me? Just know that a little kid like you is bullsh * tty. Don't blame me for not reminding you that if you dare to make a move here, you will immediately be expelled. "Hahaha!"

After he finished talking, he laughed arrogantly. The people around him also laughed and tried their best to ridicule him.

Just as the main examiner wanted to speak, he was stopped by Bai Yunzi's gaze.

When they were done laughing, Ye Yang said in a clear voice, "Remember this. My name is Ye Yang, in the future, do not provoke the disciples of our Eight Desolate City. Otherwise, I will make them repay ten times, a hundred times more!"

As he finished his last sentence, a killing intent that seemed to come from the real thing instantly enveloped the pockmarked man. Even the people around him were affected.

Everyone found it hard to breathe, as if a sharp blade was pressed against their throats. It was as if the other party could take their lives with a single thought. Their faces turned ashen as their bodies became a sieve.

As for the pockmarked man, his face was as white as paper and his eyes were listless. A large area of wetness covered his legs and he had been scared to the point that he peed his pants. An unpleasant smell drifted out.

The moment Ye Yang's killing intent was released, Bai Yunzi and the main examiner was startled. They looked at each other and saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.

Bai Yunzi looked at this mysterious youth with a complicated gaze.

Killing intent was the aura that a martial artist exuded when killing intent appeared in their heart. Killing intent was the resentment that came from killing an enemy. The stronger the enemy, the stronger the killing intent would be.

At the moment when Ye Yang released his killing intent, even he felt a chill on his skin. Had he killed a Royal expert before?

However, when he had this thought, he secretly shook his head. A warrior killing a Royal expert, no one would believe that.

Ye Yang never thought that this brat would be so weak. He was clearly a warrior, yet his willpower was so weak that he couldn't resist even the slightest bit of killing intent.

Ye Yang turned around and returned to his squad. Just as Ye Yang left, with a "putong" sound, the pockmarked male could no longer hold on and fell onto his butt. He panted heavily, his eyes filled with fear and hatred.

Now he could be considered to have lost a lot of face. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was scared by a freshman to the point of losing control of his bladder. He would probably become the laughingstock of the entire academy for a very long time.

With the support of his two companions, he left this place in a very cool manner.

No matter where he went, everyone would voluntarily make a path that was dozens of feet wide, just like how an emperor would travel. However, if everyone didn't cover their noses, the results would be better.

Who would have thought that the meeting ceremony for the new seniors would end so coldly? The main examiner cleared his throat and said, "Next is the award time. First, let me introduce the reward system and the rules for the usage of points."

Through the chief examiner's explanation, the freshmen all realized that the Tianwu Academy had its own currency, the points.

Points were the private currency of the Tianwu Academy, and could only be used in academies. They were used to purchase secret manuals of martial arts, lease of high level training grounds, and exchange for medicinal pills.

However, the points here could not be exchanged with external items. It could only be exchanged through missions, hunting magical beasts, or the treasures of heaven and earth that one could obtain during adventures.

According to the difficulty of the task, or the quality of the items, the academy would give out points. This was the only way to earn points.

After he finished speaking, the main examiner continued, "Next, we will begin to collect the reward points. The reward points will be distributed according to the rank of the Nine Underworld Heaven Stairway."

"First place: Ye Yang, score: Pass, ten thousand points!" The moment he finished his words, everyone exploded in an uproar.

"What?" I didn't hear it wrong, right? With 10,000 points, our monthly allowance will only be 50 points!?

"That's right. The previous year's top scorer was only worth 2,000 points, so how could this kid give him 10,000 points? Is he the dean's relative or not?"

"Idiot, we're just looking at the points, didn't you hear? His result is for clearing the level, he's the first in history!"

Everyone was filled with envy as they watched Ye Yang happily take the points card from the main examiner. They wanted nothing more than to snatch it from him.

Ye Yang had a calm expression. Although 10,000 points is a high score, he still has to study inscription techniques in the future. This is a big eater, whether or not his 10,000 points is enough will be another story.

After that, the main organizer respectively distributed the points rewards of second to fifth place. Lan Caidie, who was second place, obtained five thousand points with a result of nine hundred steps.

Third place Mu Bai obtained three thousand points, fourth place Guan Yanxue obtained two thousand, and fifth place Guan Yanxue obtained one thousand.

And from the sixth to the one hundred ranks, they all received a total of five hundred points, from the one hundred, everyone would get three hundred points.

After working busily for nearly two hours to distribute all the rewards, the chief examiner said, "When you return to your dorms later, there will be a special person to lead you there. Have a good rest today and start the class tomorrow."

"What?" "Class?" Ye Yang was shocked as the points card in his hand slid to the ground.
