Chapter 62

When Sun Yan returned to Liuli Street No. 4444, he was surprised to see two people sweeping at the door. One of them was a stranger, with a shiny bald head, a towering height like an iron tower, and muscles like coiled dragons, as if his body was cast from molten iron. He wore the uniform of Difeng Academy, indicating his student status.

The other person was only as tall as the chest of the iron tower-like youth, wearing thick glasses. It was none other than his long-lost friend, Mu Tong, whom he hadn't seen for half a month.

"Ah Yan, Ah Yan, finally, I see you."

Seeing Sun Yan and the others, Mu Tong immediately dropped the broom and ran over, but his target was actually Shu Lian Qing, who was standing next to Sun Yan.

Sun Yan helplessly pursed his lips, stepped to the right to block Mu Tong, and embraced him, whispering, "Mu Tong, you haven't changed a bit in half a month!"

"Same to you. You, the lucky pig, have become even more debauched in the past half month," Mu Tong replied in a barely audible voice.

After a brief exchange, Sun Yan turned to look at the iron tower-like youth.

"Hello, I'm a second-year student in the Ordinary Department. My name is Li Er. I work part-time at Youjian Restaurant, and Uncle Iron Spoon asked me to come and help," Li Er said, somewhat bashfully.

Sun Yan and the others' eyes twitched, finding it hard to imagine such a tall and imposing youth could look so shy, which felt extremely strange.

With the addition of Mu Tong and Li Er, cleaning and repairing the two-story building became much easier. Especially since Mu Tong was a student at the Technology Institute and had many unique instruments. Now that technology had entered the era of interstellar exploration, many aspects of it had become highly advanced.

By evening, as the sun set, Liuli Street No. 4444 had been completely renovated. The cracks on the walls had been repaired, leaving no trace, and the old windows had been replaced. The floor was clean, and the windows were bright, making it look like a new building.

The entire building had twelve rooms. Sun Yan chose a room on the second floor in the middle as his own. Looking at the room with only a bed, a table, a cabinet, and a light brain, Sun Yan was quite satisfied. Living alone in a building was also a nice thing.

At this moment, Mu Tong called from downstairs, "Ah Yan, come quickly. Let's leave a handprint as a memento."

Coming downstairs, Sun Yan saw everyone standing in front of the wall in the corridor, pressing their handprints and engraving their names.

"What's this for?" Sun Yan asked, puzzled.

Mu Tong said, "We helped repair and clean this building, so on our first day of school, we should leave a memento. When we graduate, it can be a place for the younger students to admire."

Sun Yan pursed his lips and said, "Do you think the students sent here will have much admiration?"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Not necessarily. By the time we graduate, this place might be where new students are vying to move in."

"Right," Feng Lingxue gestured to Sun Yan, "Come, Ah Yan, you're the owner of this building. Press your handprint in the middle."

"Okay."

Looking at the eight handprints on the wall, Sun Yan pressed his palm, activated his inner yuan, and left a handprint about half an inch deep, engraving his name—Sun Yan.

...

At night, after sending off Feng Lingxue and the others, Sun Yan put away his luggage, tidied up, and then lay on the bed, taking out the "Difeng Student Handbook."

Although it was called a student handbook, it was actually a miniature standard light brain, only the size of a palm, extremely exquisite. The light brain recorded the school rules of Difeng Academy and some precautions. It also contained emergency notifications and changes, making it very convenient.

Opening the "Difeng Student Handbook," the screen of the miniature light brain flashed, and the first image that appeared was a map, the administrative map of Dommil Planet.

The four major administrative regions—Donglin, Nanfeng, Xibing, and Beiyang.

In the map, the Nanfeng region suddenly expanded, and then the area of Difeng Academy appeared, including Wandao Mountain, Wuzong Stele, and Cangying Tayan Mountain. A series of images displayed the surrounding terrain of Difeng Academy.

Next, the internal area division of Difeng Academy was shown. The Ordinary Department was the largest area of the school, with Liuli Street running north to south through it. To the west of the Ordinary Department was the Technology Institute.

The Elite Department was divided into three colleges: Donghuang College, Qianlong College, and Xieao College.

After the school area map was displayed, the image in the miniature light brain changed, showing the student regulations of Difeng Academy.

"Article 1: Difeng Academy students are not allowed to engage in private battles on campus. Violators will be penalized with a deduction of 5 credits. Serious violators will be expelled."

"Article 2: Students are not allowed to privately teach or sell the academy's combat techniques, cultivation methods, or technological products. Violators will be expelled and held responsible."

"Article 3: The academy conducts a comprehensive evaluation every three months. Martial arts students will be checked for their progress in martial arts, and technology students will be checked for their research progress, as well as credit accumulation. According to regulations, students must earn 50 credits within half a year of enrollment. Those who fail to meet this requirement will be expelled."

"Article 4: Credit acquisition methods—3 credits for each theoretical course passed; 3 credits for joining a club; 20 credits for joining the student council or law enforcement team; 20 credits for becoming a leader in the student union..."

"Article 5: Credit acquisition methods for martial arts progress:

Learning a combat technique or cultivation method—Grade 3: 5 credits for learning, 3 credits for advancing; Grade 4: 10 credits for learning, 5 credits for advancing; Grade 5: 30 credits for learning, 10 credits for advancing; Grade 6: 1000 credits for learning, 1000 credits for advancing; Grade 7: 5000 credits for learning, 5000 credits for advancing.

Inner yuan level improvement—Advancing to a third-level martial artist: 10 credits; advancing to a fourth-level martial artist: 500 credits; advancing to a fifth-level martial artist: 600 credits; advancing to a sixth-level martial artist: 1500 credits; advancing to a seventh-level martial artist: 3000 credits."

"Article 6: Other credit acquisition methods..."

After reading through the student regulations of Difeng Academy, Sun Yan was thoroughly shocked. He finally understood why Teacher Dao had been so serious about giving him an additional 500 credits.

Because in Difeng Academy, to obtain better cultivation methods, combat techniques, and other resources, credits were the only pass.

To obtain high-level cultivation methods and combat techniques, one had to select them from the library, and the condition for entering the Difeng Library was to have enough credits.

The entry requirement for the third-class library was 10 credits, but selecting a Grade 3 combat technique required 100 credits, a Grade 4 combat technique required 200 credits, and a Grade 5 combat technique required 1000 credits.

The entry requirement for the second-class library was 5000 credits, which contained Grade 6 combat techniques, and selecting a Grade 6 combat technique required a staggering 10,000 credits.

The entry requirement for the first-class library was 50,000 credits, and selecting a Grade 7 combat technique required a mind-boggling 100,000 credits.

"Selecting a Grade 7 combat technique requires 100,000 credits. Holy cow, probably very few people can meet this standard."

Sun Yan was shocked, and no matter how he thought about it, 100,000 credits seemed too large a number. He had previously fantasized about entering Difeng Academy and learning a Grade 6 or higher cultivation method.

Gently touching the screen, Sun Yan finally finished reading the student regulations. The image in the light brain changed, displaying his information.

Student ID: 27034567

Name: Sun Yan

Age: 16

Martial Artist Level: Level 2

Credits: 10

Affiliated Club: None

Honors: None

Affiliated Student Organization: None

"Ah, I'm still a 'triple-nothing' student!"

Sun Yan sighed and touched the screen again. The next page showed the credit rankings of the new students in the Ordinary Department. To his relief, he was still ranked 10th, with most of the students behind him having only 3 credits, likely because they had just joined a club.

Flipping to the last page of the "Difeng Student Handbook," Sun Yan's eyes widened: "The top 500 credit earners in Difeng Academy's history?"

"The 500th place has 1.2 million credits!" Sun Yan exclaimed.

The ranking started from the 500th place and went up. Sun Yan read through the names, feeling increasingly shocked. Many of these names were familiar, and some were even legendary, respected martial arts masters in society.

Continuing to read, when his eyes landed on the second place, Sun Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Zhengri—Credits: 18 million.

Sun Yan's lips twitched, and he muttered, "18 million credits? Holy cow, the student life in Difeng Academy is only four years. How is it possible to earn tens of millions of credits? Could it be because Zhang Zhengri is Teacher Lin Xinghe's student, and he got special treatment?"

Who was the first place?

Curiously, he moved his gaze down one more step. When he saw the name of the first place, Sun Yan's eyes narrowed, feeling a sharp pain. His heart was filled with shock.

First place—Dongfang Huang.

Dong Shuai, Dongfang Huang!

This name seemed to have a magical power, making Sun Yan feel short of breath. In the entire Odin Star Region, anyone who heard this name would likely have a similar reaction.

"Military God Dongfang Huang, being the first in Difeng Academy's top 500 is well-deserved. But..."

Sun Yan looked at the long string of zeros and said, "1.2 billion credits? Is this a system error?"

Taking a deep breath, Sun Yan's mood gradually calmed. The students on the top 500 credit earners list were the best of Difeng Academy's history, geniuses among geniuses.

"How many credits will I have by graduation?"

"Don't think too much. I only have 10 credits now. I can't be too ambitious. Everything has to be done step by step."

"Tomorrow is class division and theory classes. Time to sleep!"

Closing his eyes, Sun Yan quickly fell into a deep sleep, known for his ability to fall asleep in just 5 seconds.

The next moment, Sun Yan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight, looking alertly at the window.

Outside the window, or rather, downstairs, a chilling coldness locked onto him. This coldness felt like a knife blade, making Sun Yan's nerves tingle.

A cold voice came from outside the window, "Sun Yan, come out and fight me!"

Flipping to the window, Sun Yan saw a youth standing downstairs, his red and black uniform highlighting his tall and imposing figure. He had a wooden sword at his waist, blending into the night yet standing out.

"Sun Yan, come out and fight me!"
