Chapter 1801 Blue Wind Academy

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded. He hadn't even stepped through the gates of Cangfeng Academy, yet he had already developed such a super-friendly relationship with the number one on the Heavenly Ranking. It always felt a little strange.

The key was that this woman was truly overbearing. The thought of her saying, “You are already my person,” made him uneasy, even reminding him of the Supreme who had three brands on his feet.

He then asked, “Sister, what’s the deal with the Heavenly Ranking of Cangfeng Academy? What Cultivation level do you need to reach to enter the Heavenly Ranking?”

“Since you don’t know anything, I’ll introduce you to Cangfeng Academy.”

Luo Yudie explained to him while eating, “Cangfeng Academy is divided into three Ranks: the Outer Courtyard, the Middle Courtyard, and the Inner Courtyard.

The Outer Courtyard consists of ordinary students, about ten thousand people. The Middle Courtyard students have higher status and Rank, but their number is much smaller, about a thousand people.

As for the Inner Courtyard, it represents the highest level of Cangfeng Academy, with only 100 people, which means the top 100 on the Heavenly Ranking.

This number is fixed. Every time the ranking changes, the students will be adjusted accordingly.

For example, if you challenge the 100th place now, and you win, you will officially enter the Inner Courtyard, and that person will be eliminated to the Middle Courtyard.

You will definitely be an Outer Courtyard student when you first enroll, but if you can defeat a senior from the Middle Courtyard, then you will be in the Middle Courtyard.

Survival of the fittest, this is the basic Law of Cangfeng Academy.”

Ye Bufan asked, “How often is this ranking updated?”

“Anytime!” Luo Yudie said, “As a student of the Academy, as long as you feel your Cultivation is sufficient, you can challenge the next Rank at any time.

The same applies to the Heavenly Ranking. Once you become a member of it, you must accept challenges from other students.

Being able to enter the Heavenly Ranking and Cultivate in the Inner Courtyard will grant you more resources than the Middle Courtyard and Outer Courtyard, and your status will be comparable to that of the Academy's teachers.

Students who can enter the Inner Courtyard are all elites, and their future prospects are limitless after leaving the Academy. Any one of them will become a target for the Imperial family and various forces to contend for.

Because of this, no one will be content with mediocrity. As long as there is an opportunity, they will challenge members of the Heavenly Ranking, striving to become one of the Inner Courtyard members someday.”

Ye Bufan said, “There should be conditions for challenges, right? Otherwise, the members on the Heavenly Ranking would be annoyed to death and wouldn’t have time to Cultivate.”

“Naturally!” Luo Yudie said, “Once a challenge is proposed, it’s a matter of life or death. If the Cultivation gap is too large, you might even lose your life, so every member who wants to challenge must first weigh their own strength.

Additionally, there’s a fee to be paid to the Academy for challenges. Challenging the Middle Courtyard costs 10,000 gold coins, challenging an ordinary Heavenly Ranking member costs 100,000 gold coins, and challenging the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking costs 1,000,000 gold coins.

As students of the Academy, everyone’s Cultivation resources are very scarce, so no one will challenge casually.”

Ye Bufan asked, “What kind of members can participate in the New Talent Ranking Tournament?”

This was the question he cared about most. His goal was only one: to win first place in this competition and obtain the hongyuan fruit to restore his Cultivation.

However, it seemed a bit difficult now. Lu Xueman had already reached the Void Refining Realm, and if he didn’t have the hongyuan fruit to restore his strength, it would be difficult for him to reach that level.

But he couldn’t worry about that much now; as long as there was one in ten thousand hope, he had to put in one hundred percent effort.

Luo Yudie said, “For Cangfeng Academy, only Inner Courtyard students are eligible.”

Ye Bufan nodded, but didn’t take it too seriously. As long as this challenge system was in place, he could just challenge a Heavenly Ranking member directly when the time came.

The two chatted for a while longer, and he tried to gather as much information as possible.

After breakfast, the two were about to leave, but just as they reached the door, Du Lang walked towards them.

The fellow said with a fake smile, “Yudie Meimei, where are you going?”

“I’m taking Little brother to Cangfeng Academy to register.”

“I’m afraid that won’t do!” Du Lang said, “Did you forget that today is the day you take over as the Pavilion Master? There are many things to do, and the higher-ups are still waiting for a reply.”

“This…”

Luo Yudie hesitated for a moment. Unbeknownst to her, she had placed all her attention on this man and had forgotten that she was supposed to take charge of Jubao Pavilion today.

“Sister, it’s just registration. I can go by myself. You go do your business.”

Ye Bufan naturally wouldn’t insist. After bidding farewell to Luo Yudie, he left by himself.

Cangfeng Academy was almost universally known in the entire Tianfeng City. He went out to inquire and found its location, quickly arriving at the main gate.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It is rumored that this Academy has a history of a thousand years. Just its magnificent gate exudes a strong historical aura. For many years, it has been the dream Holy Land for young Martial Artists in the entire Tianfeng Empire.

However, Cangfeng Academy is, after all, the highest institution of learning in the entire Tianfeng Empire. Let alone entering the Inner Courtyard, even meeting the lowest standard for entering the Outer Courtyard requires extremely strict conditions. The mere minimum requirement of Foundation Establishment Stage has crushed the dreams of many young Martial Artists.

It should be known that Cultivating is an extremely resource-intensive endeavor. For ordinary families, it is an extremely huge expense. To reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of 20 is an utterly impossible task for many people.

During breakfast, Luo Yudie had thoroughly explained to him the requirements for new students at Cangfeng Academy.

The minimum requirement for registration was Foundation Establishment Stage, with the age limit not exceeding 18. Golden Core Stage was extended to 20, Nascent Soul Stage to 22, and Soul Transformation Stage to 24.

In fact, the vast majority of students recruited into the Outer Courtyard each year were at the Golden Core Stage, because the Cultivation of Foundation Establishment Stage was too low to catch the Academy's eye, and they were usually turned away at the door.

A small remaining portion were at the Nascent Soul Stage, but they were absolutely few and far between. Even those at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage were already considered outstanding among all students.

Because on Kunlun Continent, it is difficult for a Young man to reach the Nascent Soul Stage without relying on a Sect or Academy, let alone the Soul Transformation Stage.

Moreover, Cultivation also depends on Aptitude. Some people, even throughout their entire lives, cannot form their own Nascent Soul.

Since today was the day Cangfeng Academy was recruiting, the main entrance was particularly lively. The students who came to register were all enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit.

Ye Bufan was about to enter when his gaze suddenly shifted to the side, and a figure entered his sight.

Tall, in a red dress, with a casual ponytail hanging behind her head, her exquisitely beautiful face looked so familiar.

He was instantly shaken, as if struck by lightning.

“Situ Dianmo!”

Ye Bufan knew that Situ Dianmo, Ye Tian, and others had also been brought to Kunlun Continent, but he didn't know where they had been sent by the spatial tunnel.

He had been worrying about how to find them, but he hadn't expected to meet them here.

“Dianmo!”

He suppressed the wild joy in his heart, quickly chased after her, and grabbed the girl’s sleeve.
