Chapter 864 - Too Greedy (1/2)

“My God, he reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm at the age of twenty-one. This is too incredible…”

“It’s so annoying to compete with him. I registered at the stage of the middle of the Nascent Soul and I thought I was amazing. Compared with him, I’m just a loser…”

“A genius is amazing. Compared to him, I’ve lived for nothing! So angry…”

Hearing that there was a freshman at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm, all the people around the gate of the Tortoise Academy were excited. They wanted to see who the genius student was this year.

Hearing the discussions around him, Qin Haodong shook his head secretly. Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile. He inadvertently became a celebrity again.

At this moment, Zhao Xingyue also completed her test. A yellow halo appeared on the test crystal in her hand.

Zhou Youcai said, “The late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, congratulations on passing our academy’s test.”

Qin Haodong was slightly surprised. This girl was obviously at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. How could her cultivation be at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?

He asked in a low voice, “Did you hide your strength?”

“Yes!” Zhao Xingyue nodded shyly. “I saw that there were so many people surrounding you. I was so scared, so I hid a little of my strength.”

Qin Haodong was speechless. He thought, “Such a timid girl. How did she get out?”

“You two, have you selected your majors?” Zhou Youcai said again.

“Major?” Qin Haodong didn’t expect that he also needed to choose a major. He asked, “What majors does your academy have?”

“A summoned major, an alchemist major, and a martial arts major.”

Qin Haodong said, “Then I’ll choose an alchemist major.”

Zhou Youcai said, “Okay, please show me your alchemist medal.”

“What medal?”

Zhou Youcai explained, “Our academy is the highest level academy in the Lingwu Continent. Naturally, it has its own limit. Only those who have reached the third level or above of refining medicine can select our alchemist major.”

“Then I’d better choose martial arts major!”

Although Qin Haodong was confident that he could do better than anyone else in medicine refining, he had no medal. Therefore, he could only choose the martial arts major.

“So will I.” Zhao Xingyue said immediately as if she was afraid that Qin Haodong would leave her behind.

“Well, you are majoring in martial arts. Come with me to the students’ dormitory now.”

After Zhou Youcai finished speaking, he directly led them through the gate of the Tortoise Academy and walked toward the student living area.

The Tortoise Academy spanned a vast area and was simply like a small city. Fortunately, they were all cultivation artists so their speed was very fast.

“This is your living area. You can choose a dormitory for your own use.”

Looking at the elegant and unique small courtyards in front of him, Qin Haodong asked in surprise, “Is this our student’s dormitory? Do we live alone?”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “That’s right. In order to make it more convenient for cultivation, a student has a yard. You can choose a dormitory from any of these empty dormitories as long as its door does not have a student mark.”

“What a big deal.”

In Qin Haodong’s previous life, there were four or five people huddled in a small room when he was a student. The current treatment was unimaginable on earth given the high cost of land.

He pointed to a yard and said, “I want this one.”

Then, Zhao Xingyue said, “I want the yard next to his.”

“Okay!” Zhou Youcai’s mouth curved into a sinister smile and said, “The annual rent for our dormitory is five top-level Spirit Stones. Give me the money now!”

“What the hell? The dormitory isn’t free? It requires five top-level Spirit Stones each year?”

Qin Haodong felt that Zhou Youcai was more like a businessman than a teacher.

Zhou Youcai said confidently, “Of course, it’s costly to build a dormitory in the academy. It’s very cheap for the price of five top-level Spirit Stones.”

“I…” Qin Haodong was speechless. Was this an academy? It was really difficult to move a single step without money.

Zhao Xingyue asked, “Is there a cheaper dormitory?”

Zhou Youcai said, “Our academy treats everyone equally. Our dormitories have no grades.”

Zhao Xingyue blushed and asked, “Can we live in the same dormitory?”

Zhou Youcai said, “The academy only charges for the number of dormitories. As for how many people there are in your dormitory, it’s your own business.”

Qin Haodong had no choice. He only had eight top-level Spirit Stones in his hand and he couldn’t leave Zhao Xingyue on her own. If he had known this, he would have asked the drunkard geezer for more money.

He took out five top-level Spirit Stones and gave them to Zhou Youcai. Zhou Youcai took the money but was not in a hurry to put them away. He said, “The freshmen still need to buy school uniforms. Each uniform requires one top-level Spirit Stone.”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong had no choice but to give him another two top-level Spirit Stones and take back two sets of white school uniforms.

“Remember to wear the school uniforms when you go out. Or, you will be fined one top-level Spiritual Stone every time.”

Zhou Youcai continued, “Our Tortoise Academy is a top academy. Our management of students is extremely strict. In the future, you must follow the rules of the academy. Otherwise, you’ll be fined or fired.”

“I have the academy’s management manuals here. I’ll sell them to you at a cheaper price. One top-level Spirit Stone for two management manuals.”
