The records show that his Qi is undoubtedly the purest this teacher has ever seen, and his athletic martial arts skills are unlike anything he has heard of before.
"You," he pointed at Yan Xiaobao, "Student Yan Xiaobao, do you understand your mistake?" he asked furiously. Shan Ping would only cause so problems for Yan Xiaobao to prevent him from ignoring Wang Julong.
"Teacher, I have done nothing wrong," Yan Xiaobao looked seriously at the teacher, with big innocent eyes, as if he were a naive child being wrongly accused.
"Look at Shan Ping," the teacher insisted, "he did not fall to the ground on his own."
"That’s true," Yan Xiaobao pondered, "but you saw the recording, all I did was defend myself."
"Considered defending yourself too fiercely," the teacher insisted. Although Shan Ping was clearly at fault, Wang Julong is a genius, and Wang Jialong is a genius. Anyone who insults him will encounter great trouble in the future, as Mr. Wang would never let them rest at the Academy, even the teachers.
"Teacher, you must have seen that I only used a low-level martial arts skill. I am only a Fifth Grade student, while Classmate Shan Ping is a student at nine stars, ranked at Interdiate Cultivator. How would I know he couldn’t withstand my weakest martial arts attack skill? In the past, when I judged Wang Julong, I couldn’t even leave a mark on his skin." Yan Xiaobao insisted with his big eyes and innocent face, contradicting what he said.
The teacher took a deep breath. Initially, he was convinced he heard wrong, but unfortunately, reality clearly pointed out that what Yan Xiaobao said was true. The Royal Art Academy had only been open for a few days, but Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong had already clashed. It seed this year would not allow the teachers any rest.
However, even if he wanted to bla Yan Xiaobao, everything the white-haired boy said was correct. It was indeed the low-level practitioner-ranked martial arts skill Raging Strike that Yan Xiaobao had been using, and it was impossible for him to cause such damage to an opponent four stars higher.
He sighed before he saw the door, a woman entered. She wore a white robe, holding a small package in her hand. She quickly ran towards Shan Ping on the ground, knelt beside him, and quickly assessed him. She paid no attention to anyone else in the room, not even the teacher.
After a quick check, she opened the package, and various slls quickly spread throughout the hall. She took out a small dicine pill, crushed it in her hand, and then the dust slowly spread over Shan Ping’s unconscious body. As the dust landed on his body, it slowly lifted him, and when he hovered a ter above the ground, the woman quickly pushed him out of the hall.
"This was your first ti seeing a dicinal pill," Lan Feng told the amazed Yan Xiaobao, while Hui Zuyue quickly recovered his composure, his expression returning to a laid-back appearance.
"Did it heal him?" Yan Xiaobao asked curiously, still staring at the door through which the woman pushed Shan Ping.
"No, that pill was clearly created to make soone levitate. I believe if they consu it, it could allow the user to fly for a while, but since he was unconscious, that was the only way to apply it." Lan Feng explained as Yan Xiaobao turned to gaze at the teacher who had been watching the woman and Shan Ping, and then nodded.
"As per the regulations, Hui Yun can defend himself. Shan Ping will not receive further punishnt as his injuries are enough to keep him in the infirmary for the next month."
With that, the teacher turned around, entered a room, and then instructed the students to enter. The room was shaped like an amphitheater, with seats surrounding a central stage, and the teacher sat beside a small desk.
The teacher took the ti to report the battle situation to all the other teachers at the Liluo City Royal Art Academy via the teacher’s emblem.
Usually, such recordings are not sothing they can share collectively, but the teacher was very concerned after seeing Yan Xiaobao’s pure temperant and advanced martial arts athletic skills.
He hoped to use this recording to see if any other teacher could explain this unknown person, who ca out of nowhere and although all the teachers were very interested, they couldn’t find any information.
When they attempted to pry into Yan Xiaobao’s private files, all they found was a decree written by Lord Rong Liang, stating that his past had been erased, and he currently belonged to the Rong Family.
A past like this implied that the investigation was illegal, and those who did so would be sent to court, where they would be judged by the Kingdom’s laws. A past erased was a privilege, and the royal family had recruited experts willing to start anew for each city lord. As long as this expert was not wanted by the governnt, anyone could beco an expert with an erased past, that is, if soone could convince the City Lord it was worthwhile.
"Today, we will focus on the guidelines we follow at the Liluo City Royal Art Academy," the teacher began, quickly calming each student, who quietly listened, "My na is Li Yuan, and I will be responsible for your class."
Teacher Li Yuan could already feel his mind growing heavier, knowing that this year he had to take care of Hui Yue and Wang Julong. Usually, any teacher would feel excited when told they have two geniuses in their class, but when these two geniuses were sharpening their blades and waiting for a chance to remove the other, it was another matter.
With a sigh from Teacher Li Yuan’s lips, he looked at the two little boys and continued, "The school year is divided into two sesters. Each sester, you will study one subject. Tomorrow’s courses will focus on the various subjects you can choose from, but so subjects are only open to gifted students."
Yan Xiaobao was sowhat curious about the different subjects. He liked the idea of focusing on one specific course at a ti, but his curiosity couldn’t be satisfied now since these courses wouldn’t be announced until the next day.
"This Royal Academy is sponsored by the royal family, they intend to offer the best possibility for the nation’s young cultivators. This includes the martial arts skills we collect in the Martial Arts Skills Hall. Coupled with providing martial arts skills and Qi Skill, we also have a monthly dicine distribution day."
At the ntion of "dicine distribution day," almost all the students held their breath and looked at Teacher Li Yuan with shining eyes. Even Lan Feng and Yan Xiaobao felt excitent within their shared souls as they watched their teacher.
Seeing the expressions of all the students, especially noticing both Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong paying attention to his speech, Teacher Li Yuan felt satisfied. Although both ca from noble backgrounds, pills were usually why noble sons were sent to the Royal Academy for studies.
"Every full moon, the apothecary distributes pills to our Royal Academy students. The strength of the pills depends on the cultivator’s level, and sotis a specific cultivator might receive extra pills as a reward for impressive progress. Extra pills can be bought at any ti at the apothecary store after the next distribution day." Yan Xiaobao looked at Teacher Li Yuan, slightly squinting. There were still three days until the next full moon, so it wouldn’t be long before he received his first pill.
The teacher remained silent for a long ti, allowing the students to chat amongst themselves. He was fully aware of the allure of the pill because he worked here himself to earn the reward pills.
Yan Xiaobao seated farther away from the other students heard so small conversations. It seed many poorer families had to rely on their children selling pills each month to return money to their families. Enrolling their children in the Royal Art Academy could be seen as another way to earn inco. Although cultivation speed is slow without pills, they couldn’t maintain a decent cultivation speed without them.
When the students finally cald down, Teacher Li Yuan continued, "Students of the Liluo City Royal Art Academy are free to leave the academy at any ti, no regulations say you can’t visit your family to obtain additional cultivation resources or martial arts skills."
