Chapter 190: Chapter 137: Awakening 4 Skills (2)
"Your father gave it to you." Lin Chen handed the money to him.
Ning Tian accepted it, with a wry smile, "That old man really underestimates me."
Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Is it so easy to make money here at the Spirit Academy?"
"Of course." Ning Tian replied, "Have you forgotten what kind of place this is?"
Lin Chen thought for a while and finally realized.
This is Ling Mountain.
It used to be the battlefield of the Human-Demon War.
There is no shortage of relics here.
"Take Level 4 resources for example, that Secret Realm without danger holds a wealth of treasures, evolution materials, elixirs... even demon beast pills." Ning Tian explained.
Lin Chen, suddenly enlightened, began to look forward to it...
This was his bad habit, upon hearing about valuable things, he couldn’t help but react this way.
After all, he came from poverty.
And even now, he is still poor.
"You seem very eager for me to walk the Path to Immortality." Lin Chen said.
Ning Tian shook his head, "I just feel that thirty-seven levels isn’t your limit."
Finally, Ning Tian departed.
He advised Lin Chen that if he encountered problems, he could seek him out.
Ning Tian was smart; he knew that giving five million to Lin Chen was not Ning Ye’s primary intention.
Rather, Ning Ye was signaling to Ning Tian that Lin Chen is someone Ning Ye values deeply, worth building a strong relationship with.
Ning Ye did not say it outright, and he trusted that Ning Tian could understand...
No one knows a child better than the parent, nor a parent better than the child.
This time, Lin Chen was indeed moved.
However, he did not alter his plans...
Pursuing Level 4 resources is a definite goal.
But first, one must possess the strength.
Otherwise, he won’t be able to keep them.
Now that the talented students at the Spirit Academy are beginning to emerge, Xiaobai must also advance quickly and not stay stagnant.
Otherwise...
The resources will be seized by others.
...
The system at the Spirit Academy is truly fair; if you want to succeed, you only need to rely on yourself, as relationships here have no use.
It can be said, this place is a rare temple of fairness.
However, this fairness is backed by a bloody reform.
As the National Academy of the Cangling Ancient Country, it initially became a plaything for various forces to meddle with, where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter and seize resources.
The true cause of the reform was not the awakening of these great powers, but a competition.
The name of this competition is:
Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference.
The Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference is held once every four years, officially starting from the 55th year of the Celestial Beast Era.
At that time, the Human-Demon War had ended, and the Human Race began fighting over land division issues. Someone eventually proposed the concept of a Beast Fighting Conference to cease fighting.
Firstly, it was for reputation; secondly, to satisfy the vanity of their own countries; thirdly, to divert the focus of war; and fourthly, to allocate spirit beast resources.
There is a place in the world, called: Celestial Beast Island, rich in spiritual qi and producing top-tier spirit beasts, which opens every four years.
The Six Kingdoms agreed to allocate resources based on rankings, with the champion receiving the most resources each year.
Initially, many countries participated in the Beast Fighting Conference, but as it went on, fights continued, causing a few hiatuses.
Until now, the vast Blue Star’s fight has dwindled down to only six countries, including the very country that proposed the Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference, which no longer exists. Among these countries, four border the Cangling Ancient Country.
To the south is the Nanfen Ancient Country.
To the east is the East Sakura Country.
To the north is the Beiming Country.
To the west is the Ancient Kingdom of Xijun.
And one country is west of the West Zheng Ancient Country, named: Youlan Empire.
The names bearing the word "Ancient" signify the nations’ long histories, existing since the Taichu Era, while other countries emerged after the Celestial Beast Era.
In terms of land size, the Cangling Ancient Country, Youlan Empire, and Beiming Country are similar, while the other three countries are relatively smaller.
For spirit beast resources, the Cangling Ancient Country and Youlan Empire are tied for first, although, since the Youlan Empire was newly established later, resources are rich, and due to being far from the battlefield during the great battle, it leads in terms of strong individuals, largely composed of immigrants from the other five countries.
Among them, the Ancient Kingdom of Xijun has the most strong people, so the two countries maintain the best relations.
Although the Six Nations have frequent conflicts, they generally maintain relative stability and restraint.
This year is the 1318th year of the Celestial Beast Era, so the Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference will be held in the opening year of 1320.
Therefore, soon after Lin Chen joined the Spirit Academy, about two months later, he saw the Spirit Academy announcement:
[Spirit Academy Announcement]
[To the Students of Spirit Academy: Next year is a grand year, the Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference has been confirmed to be hosted in the Cangling Ancient Country, and now the Academy is opening the quota announcement]
[Each session allocates a quota for three students, only the top performers will earn it. This is a matter of reputation for the Cangling Ancient Country, and all mentors need to take it seriously. Detailed information can be found in the "Detailed Record of the Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference"]
[Signed: Spirit Academy]
Lin Chen also glanced at it briefly and quickly found the point of interest.
The rewards are incredibly satisfying.
Simply being able to get on the final list allows access to the Spirit Academy’s medicine vault to select ten-piece sets for evolution.
Moreover, you can also receive auxiliary catalysis from the Spirit Academy’s exclusive Catalyst Masters.
However, Lin Chen only quietly glanced at it without greed...
It’s still early.
Besides, in this Spirit Academy where talents roam everywhere, obtaining the final quota is no simple task.
Most importantly, this is merely an Academy reward; the Dubhe Pavilion rewards are yet to be announced.
So far, the number of individuals breaking through the forty levels is increasing, reaching 20 people.
On that list, Lin Chen knows of one:
Li Jiuxiao.
Since Li Jiuxiao fled Black Mountain City, his family status has somewhat declined. Thankfully, Li Jiuxiao was long admitted to the Spirit Academy, slightly stabilizing his position as Young Master.
