    The two new students from the Western Continent still hadn’t arrived.


    Ai Weitian glanced at his wristwatch and looked up to ask, “Who went to the Western Continent?”


    Yu Aohai, who was busy flirting with Xu Wanxiao, pretended not to hear.


    Ai Weitian was so infuriated that he really wanted to kick this stinking kid who couldn’t move whenever he saw a girl.


    Fortunately, Wan Gangsheng was sitting obediently on the side. He pushed up his black-framed glasses and said, “The notice from the school said that these two students from the Western Continent would come to the Eastern Continent on their own, and we had a clear meeting time arranged with them. They should’ve arrived by now.”


    Wan Gangsheng also looked down at his wristwatch.


    The agreed-upon time had passed by one minute, or accurately, one minute and seven seconds.


    “No one’s in a hurry, right? If we aren’t, let’s just wait a bit longer,” Ai Weitian said as he changed his lounging position, continuing, “Yu Aohai, since we have the time, why don’t you properly introduce the situation to these three junior classmates?”


    “Sure thing,” Yu Aohai turned his attention to Pei Jinye and the others, mainly looking at Xu Wanxiao: “Our school really emphasizes freedom. We don’t stress rules like some stuffy old martial arts universities. This freedom is reflected in our attendance policy–attend classes if you wish, and if you don’t want to, then don’t. As long as you pass the evaluations, that’s what counts…”


    His voice had barely faded.


    Ai Weitian slapped him then spoke with exasperation, “I asked you to pass on something worthwhile, and all you do is ramble nonsense.”


    He then turned to Pei Jinye and the others, hastily saying, “Don’t listen to his foolish talk. The purpose of this research institute is more about passing on knowledge, teaching you stronger and more effective training methods. Don’t just skip classes on a whim. If your evaluations are not up to par and you accumulate too many failures, you could be dismissed. I’m not joking with you.”


    Yu Aohai said nonchalantly, “Uncle Ai, you’re really underestimating our junior classmates. In my opinion, those who were selected for our research institute must have extraordinary potential. They’ll definitely manage the beginner level quite easily.”


    Seeing Ai Weitian glaring at him, Yu Aohai quickly defended himself, “I’m not encouraging them to skip classes. What I mean is, the teaching content is fixed every day. If they can get ahead and grasp the basics earlier, there’s no need to waste more time on it. They could use that time to practice other things and earn more academic credits to exchange for training materials, which is good, right?”


    This made sense.


    Even Wan Gangsheng nodded in agreement.


    Seeing that Ai Weitian had nothing more to say.


    Yu Aohai knew his point was valid.


    It was indeed valid.


    The content of the instructional courses was just that. Some people learned quickly because they were more perceptive, while others were slower… of course, everyone who came here was elite.


    But even among the elite, there are varying degrees of strength.


    There are always those with higher acumen, who learn faster.


    In a fixed curriculum schedule, it was completely unnecessary to waste time on that.


    “Since we mentioned academic credits, let me educate you on the importance of credits in our school. When you log into the forum, you’ll find that there are credits and points.


    Points are native to the forum, required for some posts within the forum itself.”


    “I heard you can use these points to exchange for items, or to request one-on-one guidance from higher-level tutors, even to buy Resurrection Coins?” Pei Jinye suddenly asked.


    Yu Aohai looked up and said, “So you know about Resurrection Coins. Seems like you’re already aware of the V Era. What you just said isn’t entirely correct though. Exchanging for items can only be done with academic credits, not points. Points are for viewing posts.”


    Pei Jinye was at his wit’s end.


    Ji Yuyan!!!


    This guy was also spouting nonsense!


    “Initially, it was possible to buy points, with a limit of five million, at fifty million per point. But, well, that’s open to interpretation,” Yu Aohai said, shaking his head. “No joke, if you could buy academic credits, I’d borrow from the Five Continent Bank to purchase credits. Academic credits are really important.”


    “Senior, then how do you earn academic credits?” Xu Wanxiao curiously asked.


    Yu Aohai nearly swooned but, after receiving a glare from Ai Weitian, he cleared his throat and said, “Earning academic credits is like this… They’re divided into basic credits and task credits.


    Task credits are self-explanatory–complete tasks. Sometimes professors from the school will issue tasks, like if a lab needs manpower or they need to capture some fierce beast, and so on.


    As for basic credits, they’re pretty straightforward–they are your course progress. From the start, you’ll practice an enhanced version of the Breathing Method, earning credits based on your progress. Let me offer a word of advice from someone who’s been there: do this as quickly as possible. Don’t dawdle because once you fall behind, it’s very hard to catch up.


    In addition to earning credits through course progress, there are evaluations as well. Basically, every two months there’s an evaluation, and you obtain credits based on your ranking… so the elite class students generally earn the most credits. Besides the training resources they obtain in evaluations, they can also use credits to exchange for more.”


    “If we use up all our credits, what happens with graduation? As far as I know, graduating from Dragon City martial arts university has a credit requirement,” Luo Yizhou humbly inquired.


    Yu Aohai looked at him and replied with a smile, “It seems that this junior classmate has done some homework on our Dragon City martial arts university. But hey, don’t worry too much. The graduation requirement for the research institute is 60 academic credits. Not to boast, but if you’re willing to invest early on, breaking through to Extraordinary Sixth Rank in two years should be a breeze, and you could easily earn 60 credits in a couple of days.”


    He looked at Pei Jinye and the others seriously, “What I mean to say is, keep a long-term perspective. We came to Dragon City martial arts university to become stronger, right? Not for credits. If we can’t graduate, we’ll just delay it–it’s not a big deal. But if you use your credits to genuinely acquire training materials for yourself, that is what really counts.”


    He paused for a moment.


    “Where were we?”


    “Academic credits,” Xu Wanxiao reminded him.


    Yu Aohai showed her a smile, “My clever junior sister has it right. So let me continue, you’ll see what credits can be exchanged for once you get to the academy, no need to worry… Let me put it this way, once you’re in the research institute and if you’re willing to learn, there will be more than enough resources for cultivation.


    You get resources from evaluations and from completing tasks, and if you join some clubs or something, there are extra rewards too.”


    “The matter of academic credits and points is settled.” Yu Aohai pondered, “As for cultivation, I won’t say much. You guys being able to cultivate to the Extraordinary Third Rank already shows that you have your own philosophy on cultivation. Whatever others say is useless. You just need to learn to take the good and leave the bad. There’s always more to learn anyway, and you’ll never finish in this lifetime… Just like Uncle Ai said, life, damn it, is all about cultivation, and you can’t finish it even if you stop eating and drinking.”


    “Scram, and don’t ruin my reputation.” Ai Weitian was so annoyed that he looked like he was about to jump up and kick him.


    Yu Aohai dodged with a mischievous grin on his face.


    “Cultivation is just that–a gradual process, with ebbs and flows.” Wan Gangsheng rarely spoke up, but when he caught the looks from Pei Jinye and the others, his cheeks turned slightly red, like a little deer in a panic, and he quickly looked away.


    Ai Weitian noticed since he often dealt with these students, so he knew Wan Gangsheng well. The talent was there, but the guy was a bit shy, which wasn’t good… To achieve great things, one must be bold.


    That was true.


    He specifically supported Wan Gangsheng, “What Senior Wan said is right. The school has set goals for you and wants you to be competitive, but the most important thing is your body. It’s no big deal even if you can’t keep up, because you’re already stronger than many people out there.”


    The conversation took a turn.


    “Of course, I’m not telling you to slack off either. You’ve come all this way, so how would you know your potential if you don’t give it your all? I think you’re all ambitious young people who certainly won’t end up like your Senior Yu, aimlessly wandering every day.”


    “Big talker, you, Big Blackie!” Yu Aohai would have wanted to fight Ai Weitian if he didn’t think he couldn’t beat him, just to maintain his first impression with Xu Wanxiao.


    “What do you mean ‘big talker’? I work hard every day too, it’s just that the president is too strong, so it makes us look weak. By next year I’ll nearly be at Extraordinary Sixth Rank too, that’s not a bad rate, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yizhou and Xu Wanxiao both showed shock.


    Extraordinary Sixth Rank?


    That’s so strong!


    Yu Aohai didn’t seem much older than them, yet he was about to reach Extraordinary Sixth Rank?


    Ai Weitian couldn’t be bothered with him.


    Just then,


    Knocking sounds came from outside the bus, as a bald head poked in and asked, “Is this the bus going to the research institute?”


    “Yeah brother, are you getting on? It’s thirty per person,” Yu Aohai answered proficiently.


    The bald man was taken aback.


    A loli voice suddenly came from behind him, “Senior, we’re from the Western Continent.”


    Yu Aohai was startled, subconsciously bending his body to sidestep the obstructive bald man, and saw a girl who was even more delicate than Xu Wanxiao. With a face that was no less beautiful and even more pitiable, she made onlookers feel a twinge of tenderness.


    “Come on, little sister, get on quickly. It’s really hot outside, and the journey is long; you must be exhausted, right?”


    Yu Aohai rubbed his hands together and walked down from the bus warmly.


    His companion Wan Gangsheng was already used to it.


    Ai Weitian couldn’t be bothered to pay attention, finding it shameful.


    As for Xu Wanxiao, driven by a certain intuition that girls have, she gazed at the delicate Western Continent girl and sneered inwardly.


    [So pretentious!]


    The Western Continent girl was the first to board the bus.


    She looked around sweetly at Ai Weitian and the others on the bus, her gaze scanning over the faces of Pei Jinye, Luo Yizhou, and Xu Wanxiao.


    “Sorry, our flight was delayed.”


    “It’s okay, take a seat,” Yu Aohai said generously.


    Ai Weitian wanted to kick this spineless guy who couldn’t resist women.


    “Hello everyone, my name is Situ Liyue. This is my companion, Zhong Taishu.”


    As the bald man entered the bus, everyone noticed that his head was already close to touching the roof of the vehicle.


    Wan Gangsheng looked up blankly.


    He wondered… what on earth did this big guy eat to grow so tall.


    But…


    How envious.


    The bald man said in a deep voice, “Hello.”

    “Have a seat,” Ai Weitian gestured, “Now that everyone is here, let’s set off.”


    Yu Aohai nudged the daydreaming Wan Gangsheng, “Gangsheng, you drive.”


    “Huh? Isn’t your driving better than mine?” Wan Gangsheng looked perplexed.


    Yu Aohai whispered, “Buddy, I’m looking to change lanes now.”


    “…”
