"This one is even more famous."
Zhao Hailong was very happy to have a relationship with a cultivator who was obviously not even 20 years old and had an S-grade aptitude.
Qin Ye's aptitude was only B, and it wasn't easy for him to reach the level of a Soul Hunter. His clan didn't have a suitable successor for the next generation, and the relationship he had with Qin Ye today would allow him to speak to Qin Ye in the future. And if he were to speak to Qin Ye, he might even be able to deepen their relationship in the future.
Unless the other party was unlucky, he would at least be an Anitya Hellguard.
That's a Hellguard-class expert we're talking about … Even the provincial governor would be on equal footing with him!
Therefore, he explained very carefully, "In the 90s, after the country was connected to the Internet, Old Li built this website because it was very difficult for information to circulate."
"Even the current Slash app borrowed a lot of ideas and sections from the Purple Aura from the East.
You might not think much of what I'm saying, but … really, if you lived through that era, you'd know how famous the Eastern Violet Qi Network was in the entire cultivation world. "
"It can be said that it is the holy land in the hearts of cultivators!
The University of Cultivators must have put in a lot of effort to be able to invite such a powerful figure to serve as the vice-principal. "
Qin Ye nodded thoughtfully.
On the main stage, Xu Anguo and Li Tao had already finished their short and meaningless congratulatory speech. Their expressions were solemn.
Xu Anguo stepped forward and said, "The reason for today's mobilization meeting and pre-job training is because of an important issue."
He glanced around the room, "Everyone here is a Soul Hunter. 70% of the cultivators here would have to bow down and greet them respectfully with cupped fists. In any major city, Soul Hunters are the leaders of the city who would converse with the mayor and secretary of the city.
But … everyone, do you really have any teaching experience? "
He looked around, and his eyes just happened to meet Qin Ye's gaze. Eh?
This kid looked familiar.
"Umm, Mentor Timo, please explain."
"AHAHAHAHA!!!"
Lin Han's boar-like laughter rang out unbridled from behind. Zhou Xianlong's exhalation of anger was unstoppable. So this was his subordinate … What a bastard!
Harrumphing coldly, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger lightly, and for some reason, Lin Han, who was seated at the back row, fell silent.
Qin Ye stood up indignantly - Fine … fine!
I am Timo!
I only know how to plant mushrooms!
Are you satisfied now?
He was in the middle, and he could see with the naked eye that there were a few instructors or professors in their early thirties or forties in the front row. Their shoulders were twitching, and it was obvious that they were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
"No!" Qin Ye drew a deep breath.
He added fiercely, "I only know how to grow mushrooms!"
It could be said that he had given up on himself.
"Hahahaha!!"
Several people in the front row burst into uncontrollable laughter. Although Lin Han didn't say anything, he lightly hammered the table and laughed until he fell over.
"Silence!!" This time, Zhou Xianlong couldn't bear it any longer. With an angry shout, the audience finally quieted down.
Li Tao said unhappily, "Everyone, we will be colleagues in the future, the cultivator's name isn't important.
Excuse me, you guys. "
"Pfft …" The suppressed laughter quietly rose like the netherworld wind.
Xu Anguo finally realized that something was amiss, and he gestured for Qin Ye to sit down, "Sit down."
Qin Ye sat down angrily and glared at the man who was laughing sinisterly - Even if I'm not comfortable, I'm not going to make things easy for you either!
Was Old Zhou showing his prowess?
You still dare to laugh?
Xu Anguo continued, "Yes, none of us have any teaching experience.
However, this time, they are all students selected by the big families, sects, alliances, provinces, and counties. There are more than one thousand five hundred of them. "
"Whether the First Academy of Cultivators is able to produce results and make a name for itself depends entirely on the instructors seated here today.
That's right, since it's the first time we send someone who isn't an elite, the other party will also be apprehensive. That's why we have to give it our all!
Even if they weren't elites, they had to become elites!
That way, there would be real geniuses sent over next time.
But first of all, we can't pass the test ourselves! "
"That teacher who is smiling the most happily."
Li Tao pointed at Lin Han. "Let me ask you a question. If you encounter a disobedient cultivator under your command, what would you do?"
"Beat him up!" Lin Han roared. As soon as he finished speaking, he was sent flying.
He slammed into the wall behind him and fell down in a daze.
Zhou Xianlong's face had never turned pale in the first row.
Li Tao wasn't afraid of Zhou Xianlong. His seniority and reputation were enough. She said lightly, "Look, Deputy Chief Investigator Zhou, who is now Department Head Zhou, didn't set a good example.
Don't forget, this is a school. The relationship between students and teachers comes first, then cultivation. "
"There are ways to teach. Everyone has seen the atmosphere today. It's sloppy.
Yes, as cultivators, we are all undisciplined and self-centered.
However, the school is different! "
Xu Anguo suddenly slammed his fist on the table and barked, "We might be facing an army of Yin spirits in the future!
A war of Yin spirits!
It's not a private duel between cultivators!
What we want is discipline! We want a system!
We want legacies!
This is the fundamental reason why the major sects and alliances have revealed their secret arts and treasures! "
"Old Man Li and I have been planning for the establishment of the Academy of Cultivators for more than a decade now.
We've talked so much that our lips are dry!
We're the principal, and I'll repeat myself once more. Those who have no discipline and don't treat this place as a school, but rather as a department, are free to leave!
Remember, no matter how great you are outside, you'd better think about what it means to be a gardener when you're here! "
Absolute silence.
Nobody had expected Xu Anguo to speak so harshly.
Zhou Xianlong opened his mouth slightly. It suddenly dawned on him why he wasn't the principal instead. His cultivation was the highest, and he could even be considered one of the top cultivators in Cathay.
"My apologies."
He stood up and cupped his hands sincerely to Xu Anguo and Li Tao. Then, he turned to the rest of the people behind him and took his seat.
Everyone had a grave expression on their faces.
His eyes flickered brightly as he stared at the two men.
These two old fogeys …
Are they going to die soon … No, don't … wait until I've repaired Hell before you die …
This fish pond … Something's not right!
I'm going to take care of the souls of these two old fogeys!
Xu Anguo cupped his hands respectfully to Zhou Xianlong and softened his voice, "Therefore, pre-job training is absolutely necessary. I don't want to see any of the freshmen getting into trouble because of the training.
Therefore, Old Man Li and I have drafted a few rules and regulations. There's still two months before the end of the winter break. Everyone can take a look at them. "
Li Tao opened up a dossier and continued, "Firstly, all students, instructors and professors are free to accept assignments.
Assignments will be distributed by the Academy's External Affairs Department.
All assignments will be carefully selected, and each assignment will be one in a hundred.
Each assignment will be worth ten credits, while the instructors will be given five credits. "
"Don't underestimate these credits. I'd say this - anyone who can take up a position in the First Academy of Cultivators will definitely be the target of competition when they leave the academy.
The total credits are a hundred, and those who fall below sixty will be expelled at the end of the semester.
If an instructor has more than two students who have been expelled, the instructor will have to apply for resignation. "
"You're not suitable for this position." Xu Anguo responded placidly.
Li Tao continued, "Secondly, because of the unique nature of the First Academy of Cultivators, the academy will teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The academy is divided into five main faculties - the Faculty of Underworldly Craftsmen, Faculty of Science and Sciences, Faculty of Manufacturing, Faculty of Theory and Faculty of Combat."
He lifted his head and continued, "I've already read through your resumes. Cultivators are weak in our current society. Therefore, some specialize in actual combat, while others specialize in theory. The academy will teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and the academy will also employ people in accordance with their aptitude. Please follow the arrangements."
"In addition …" He paused for a moment, "The Faculty of Underworldly Craftsmen, Faculty of Science and Sciences, and Faculty of Combat will be holding a competition on New Year's Day. Each faculty will be pitted against the other, and all three faculties will need to have a solid foundation in actual combat.
The instructors will be allocated the number of students they will be mentoring based on the strength of their respective faculties.
As for the specific matters of the respective faculties, the students of the Insignia University will be distributed to all of you in a moment. "
Sparring?
Qin Ye furrowed his brows. He hadn't sparred with anyone before, but he didn't think it would be a problem.
I can tell with a single glance that those rookies who were able to last so long against a nascent Soul Hunter aren't a match for me at all … And they're even S-class?
He just didn't know where they ranked among the instructors.
Most of the Soul Hunters present were in their forties or fifties, and they had a wealth of combat experience.
"Thirdly … the First Academy of Cultivators is different from other universities. It doesn't take four years to graduate, but two years."
"The first two and a half months of each semester are theoretical studies, and the last three and a half months are in-depth practical and theoretical studies.
Instructors and professors of the Combat Department, please forgive me.
After all … even if it's the Manufacturing Faculty or the Theory Faculty, we don't need students who can't defend themselves at all. "
"Ghosts have all sorts of strange ways to kill people. If we don't have the ability to protect ourselves and need the protection of others, it will greatly reduce the combat power of humans.
However, for students from the Manufacturing and Theory Faculties, we will lower our assessment standards. "
"Fourth … Fifth …"
Qin Ye listened intently with great interest. But … the last one caused a bitter expression to appear on his face.
"Eighth, after the end of the New Year's Day rankings, all instructors will be assigned to study at Mount Tai City's Insignia University for a month and a half.
At the same time, he had to prepare for at least two and a half months of classes.
Hand them over to the respective department heads for inspection. "
We still have to prepare for class?!
Qin Ye's heart was stifled.
Nobody was in the mood to laugh when they finally finished reading. Everyone finally realized that the First Academy of Cultivators was completely different from what they had imagined.
Quit?
What a joke!
Zhou Xianlong is still here, and he's already taken the initiative to admit his mistake. Are you prepared to slap the face of the second-in-command of the Special Investigations Department, a Judge-class expert?
"Alright, that's all for now. Dismissed.
Oh, that's right, everyone should go pick out your own apartments. There are plenty of empty rooms in Insignia University. You can simply register once you've made your choice. There's no need to make a special report. "
With that, everyone began to make their way out of the building. At the same time, they were all wondering how they were going to prepare for their first class.
Qin Ye walked around the picturesque campus with great dismay. He subconsciously made his way back to the building where he had once lived.
"Are you unhappy?" Arthis asked placidly.
"How can I be happy?
I've never even learned how to teach after growing up. I've only attended university five or six times. "Qin Ye shook his head.
Just as he was about to reach the building, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Godfather.
You're finally here. "
Holy shit … Qin Ye was so shocked that goosebumps began to crawl all over his skin. He stared at the smiling Zhang Linhua, who was pushing a cart in front of him.
"I know that it might be inconvenient for you, godfather, so I made the decision to buy some things for you. Look, this is a cashmere quilt from Ordos. It's getting cold, and I was worried that you'd catch a cold."
Zhang Linhua appeared to have lost his memories. He smiled brightly as he pointed to the cashmere quilt on the cart.
Qin Ye sensed danger. Such a philosophical tone … Could it be … that my charm has already reached such a level …
"This is a blanket. It's also cashmere. I've already arranged for a TV, computer, and wireless.
You can just pick up your bags and check in. Godfather, where do you want to stay?
Shall I help you push it in? "
"No … you're …" Qin Ye pointed to the pile of things in front of him in astonishment. It was only then that he recalled Li Tao mentioning that some of the students of Insignia University had stayed behind.
Zhang Linhua blinked vacantly, and then suddenly smiled, "That's right, godfather, you're probably unfamiliar with Insignia University … no, the First Academy of Cultivators, aren't you?
But that doesn't matter. I know everything there is to know. Why don't I take you to choose your dormitory?
I guarantee that it's located in the north and faces the south. The surroundings are complete, and the location is top-notch! "
