The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Promoted to High-level Student Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Promoted to High-level Student There was one thing Zhang Min could be sure of, Jing Yan was definitely not simple.

Deacon He Kun had clearly heard of Jing Yan before.

For a Martial Artist from a small city to be known by Deacon He Kun, there must be something extraordinary about him.

But what exactly was the issue?

Zhang Min didn’t know!

“Jing Yan, why did Deacon He Kun ask you to wait?

What did you do?” Zhang Min couldn’t help but ask.

She saw that Jing Yan had a delicate and youthful appearance, and wondered what he could have possibly done to make even He Kun show a look of astonishment.

“I didn’t do anything!” Jing Yan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

In fact, Jing Yan could roughly guess that Deacon He Kun might know about his acquisition of the Golden Order.

The general students of Dao Yi Academy might not yet know about this.

But since He Kun was a deacon of the Affairs Hall, a member of the management at Dao Yi Academy, it was normal for him to have received this information.

“Jing Yan, should we continue to wait?

If you have offended someone from the Affairs Hall, we should leave quickly; otherwise, it might be too late to leave later.” Zhang Min was afraid Jing Yan had offended some important figure in the Affairs Hall, and she believed that was most likely the reason.

If that was true, why would Jing Yan foolishly continue to wait here?

Wasn’t that like walking into a trap?

“It should be fine!” Jing Yan shook his head, “Let’s wait a little longer.

It’s my first time at Dao Yi Academy, and I don’t know any of the big figures within the Affairs Hall.”

Jing Yan was not worried at all.

At the top floor of the Affairs Hall, Deacon He Kun hurriedly entered a room.

“Hall Master!” He Kun bowed deeply to an elderly man in white robes within the room.

“Deacon He Kun, what is it?” The elderly man in white looked at He Kun and asked.

The white-robed elderly man was the master of the Affairs Hall.

The position of the master of the Affairs Hall at Dao Yi Academy was roughly comparable to that of the Outer Court Director, or perhaps slightly lesser, but not by much.

Although the Outer Court Director had the authority to inquire about the Affairs Hall, he could not force the Hall Master to do anything.

The master of the Affairs Hall was named Lin Yan.

“Hall Master, Jing Yan from Donglin City has arrived.” He Kun bowed slightly, speaking with a solemn tone.

“Oh?” Lin Yan’s eyes flashed as he stood up.

Lin Yan had not yet met Jing Yan, but he was already well-informed about Jing Yan passing the Sky Crossing Array assessment and obtaining the Golden Order, and he had met with the Outer Court Director, Shu Ling.

Shu Ling also told him that Jing Yan would probably join Dao Yi Academy, which is why he had instructed him to be notified immediately if Jing Yan came to register at the Affairs Hall.

A talent who had obtained the Golden Order, something that hadn’t occurred in thirty years.

Moreover, this Jing Yan was still under twenty years old; Lin Yan was very keen to meet such a person.

To be honest, the matter of the martial artist Jing Yan, who had obtained the Golden Order, joining Dao Yi Academy had caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of the academy before.

Because of this, Director Shu Ling had even received praise from the senior management of the academy.

“Hall Master, did Jing Yan really pass the Sky Crossing Array and obtain the Golden Order during the assessment?” At this point, He Kun still found it hard to believe, especially since he had seen Jing Yan, who looked delicate and around eighteen or nineteen.

At first glance, one wouldn’t even think Jing Yan was a Martial Artist from the Innate Realm.

“If it is really Jing Yan from Donglin City, then there’s no mistake.

I will see him.” Lin Yan nodded firmly.

Lin Yan and He Kun quickly returned to the registration area.

“Hall Master, this is Jing Yan,” He Kun said in a low voice, pointing at Jing Yan who was dressed in a blue robe, standing next to Lin Yan.

“Hall Master?” Zhang Min, upon seeing Hall Master Lin Yan, was startled, blurting out subconsciously.

For someone from the Outer Court of Dao Yi Academy, meeting a figure at the level of the master of the Affairs Hall was not something that could be easily achieved.

The master of the Affairs Hall was a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse!

Lin Yan scrutinized Jing Yan.

Jing Yan likewise looked towards Hall Master Lin Yan.

“Are you Jing Yan from Donglin City?” Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he inquired.

“Yes!

Jing Yan has seen Hall Master.” Jing Yan bowed in salute.

“No need for formalities!” Lin Yan waved his hand, “Such formidable youth, truly inscrutable.

Haha, Jing Yan, our Dao Yi Academy welcomes you.”

Lin Yan warmly said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan felt nothing particular about Lin Yan’s enthusiasm.

After all, for those martial artists who had secured the Silver Token, directors of the Outer Court from the Three Major Academies would not hesitate to lower their status to personally recruit them, let alone himself who had secured a Golden Order?

Jing Yan was unmoved, but Zhang Min was shocked once again, looking at Jing Yan with utterly astonished eyes.

Just who was Jing Yan, that even the Hall Master of the Affairs Hall would show him such courtesy?

Even talents from great families in Lanqu County City would not warrant such politeness from the Hall Master.

“Jing Yan, please give me your Golden Order,” Lin Yan said with a smile.

“Okay!” Jing Yan responded and took out his Golden Order, handing it to Lin Yan.

In the assessments of the Three Major Academies, martial artists with the Copper Token applied with it, those with the Silver Token used it for registration, and those with the Golden Order employed it for registration.

“Golden Order…” Zhang Min’s breathing even stopped.

She too had joined the Dao Yi Academy through an assessment from the Three Major Acadacies, and she certainly recognized the Golden Order.

When she joined the Dao Yi Academy, she had held a Copper Token.

And now, what did she see?

She saw a Golden Order, a shimmering golden token.

To tell the truth, probably very few people had ever seen a Golden Order in person.

Not to mention a Golden Order, even Silver Tokens were very rare.

In this term’s assessment, only slightly more than ten people managed to secure a Silver Token!

“Alright!

Jing Yan, now you are officially a student of our Dao Yi Academy,” Lin Yan personally registered Jing Yan’s personal information.

“This is your High-level Student Identity Token!” Lin Yan, smiling, handed over a jade token to Jing Yan.

“High-level student?” Jing Yan was somewhat surprised.

“Yes, you are Jing Yan and can directly qualify as a high-level student at Dao Yi Academy.

Inside your high-level identity token, you will have ten thousand academy points, which is not a lot actually.

However, general newcomers who sign up to join Dao Yi Academy only receive a hundred points as a reward,” Lin Yan said with a smile.

Ordinarily, newly registered students could only get a hundred points in academy rewards.

But Jing Yan directly received ten thousand points, a hundred times more than ordinary new students.

Jing Yan had once trained at Divine Wind Academy, and he guessed that the points at Divine Wind Academy would be comparable to those at Dao Yi Academy.

Thus, these ten thousand points were truly not a small sum.

Ten thousand points might be insufficient to exchange for an Attack Magic Tool, but the difference wouldn’t be too significant.

This shows how valuable these ten thousand points were.

“Thank you, Hall Master!” Jing Yan put away his identity token and expressed his gratitude.

Jing Yan had not anticipated that he would become a high-level student right after joining Dao Yi Academy.

He had previously trained at Divine Wind Academy, but at that time, he was only a low-level student and didn’t understand many things.

Moreover, his time at Divine Wind Academy wasn’t long, less than a year before he was expelled by Cang Long.

Obviously, Dao Yi Academy placed great importance on Jing Yan.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have directly granted him the status of a high-level student.

Having the strength was one thing, but generally, one would need to pass through various assessments to advance from a low-level student to a high-level student.

This applied even to the children of the major families of Lanqu County City.

“Hall Master, if I want to advance to an Inner Court student, should I apply through you?” Jing Yan put away his high-level student identity token and asked Lin Yan.

In three months, he had to face Shang Qu, the Outer Court Director of Divine Wind Academy, and time was limited.

Thus, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible in these less than three months.

If relying solely on the Late Innate Realm cultivation would definitely be insufficient to defeat Shang Qu; at minimum, he would need the strength of the Peak of Innate or even reach the vicinity of the Half-step Dao Spirit Realm.

And becoming an Inner Court student at Dao Yi Academy was evidently essential.

An Inner Court student could exchange for more precious resources in the Treasure Vault, and could even probably obtain resources like Soul Crystals.

If Jing Yan wanted to approach the Dao Spirit Realm’s cultivation in such a short period, having Soul Crystals would give him a substantial chance.

“Advance to the Inner Court?” Lin Yan’s gaze focused slightly, but then he relieved.

A martial artist who had secured the Golden Order possesses undeniable strength.

This kind of strength fully qualifies him to take the assessment for advancing to become an Inner Court student.

“Yes.

Jing Yan, I will arrange it immediately.

For this type of promotion from the Outer Court to the Inner Court, I also need to submit an application to the higher-ups and gain approval from the Inner Academy Elders.

However, don’t worry, I think it should be managed in a few days.

I will notify you once it’s done,” Lin Yan said after a slight pondering.

Normally, the examination for Outer Court students to advance would require an approval process of at least a month, but for Jing Yan’s application, Lin Yan, although not specifying how long it would take, mentioned that it should only take a few days.

This was the special privilege possessed by Jing Yan, who had secured the Golden Order.

“Thank you, Hall Master,” Jing Yan expressed his thanks again.

Jing Yan could afford to wait a few days.

Plus, he needed to visit the Alchemist Association as well, to take an assessment there before the Green Jade Auction.

He had spoken at the Alchemist Association about joining before the Green Jade Auction, but due to the Auction, the assessment couldn’t be immediately conducted and had to wait for a while.

Now that the Green Jade Auction was over, it was time for Jing Yan to take the assessment.

Otherwise, Vice President Xu Dong would definitely seize the opportunity to attack and slander Vice President Liu Wen.
