C54 The collision between the new student and the old student

When the ancient gate slowly opened, a huge crowd of people startled everyone.

Ye Yang roughly estimated that there were at least 3000 people in front of him. All of them had powerful Qi and their cultivations were high. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Tianwu Academy only accepted students once every three years. Why so many people showed up together?

Ye Yang found out about this later. It turned out that besides publicly recruiting students once every three years, Tianwu Academy also recruited some "self-supported students".

Different from the students who passed the examination like Ye Yang and the others, most of these people had failed or had already passed the examination but could only gain the qualification to study here by paying a large amount of tuition fees to Tianwu Academy.

Tianwu Academy accepted disciples every three years, and only elites. Moreover, the expenses of cultivating disciples in the future were covered by the academy, which often caused the academy unable to make ends meet.

However, with "self-supported students", the academy would no longer have to worry about financial problems.

But not every family could afford the annual tuition of 500,000 gold coins. Most families even didn't dare to think about it.

Take the Ye Family for example, they could not afford it. Only those powerful nobles and rich merchants had such financial resources.

"The students in front of you are your seniors. They've entered the academy earlier than you. So their cultivation is much higher than yours. If you want to succeed in the academy in the future, you'll need their support. Go show your respect for them!" The voice of the main examiner echoed.

The freshmen had already felt their hearts beating fast from the stressing presence of the seniors in front of them. The arrogance in their hearts had vanished into the air. All of them made bows with their hands clasped in front humbly.

However, not everyone did this. The Eight Desolations City disciples led by Ye Yang were an exception.

Originally, the Eight Desolations City disciples wanted to salute. But when they saw Ye Yang fold his arms across his chest in a disapproving manner, they all stopped.

Everyone was bowing and greeting while they were still standing there. This made the Ye Yang group stand out.

Initially, the academy arranged for new students to meet with older students, intending to demonstrate the prowess of the older students and diminish the arrogance of the new students. This was meant to be helpful for student management in the future.

The experience they accumulated over the years proved that this method was very practical. Some of the freshmen who were too proud and full of arrogance became more modest when they saw the seniors who were of a similar age to them but had abilities several times stronger than them.

However, something unexpected happened this year. The seniors were once freshmen and they had paid their respects to their seniors.

Today was the time for others to salute them, allowing them to enjoy their dignity as seniors. However, a dozen people did not show the slightest intention of bowing, causing their anger to burn.

"Where do these bumpkins come from? How come they don’t know the rules at all?"

"Idiot, he literally offends all the older students by doing so. Won't he be bullied to death in the future?"

"From the appearances, they seem to be Eight Desolations City disciples. They do have backbone. Presumably, they know that whether they bow or not, they will still be bullied to the point that they can't hold their heads high." Some people said sympathetically.

As the crowd discussed animatedly, an arrogant voice said, "You idiots of the Eight Desolations City, don't you know that in the past, your people had to walk with your tails between your legs?"

Following the voice, Ye Yang saw a man with a pockmarked face looking at him and the others with disdain.

"It's someone from the Nan Li City."

"Sigh. It seems that this time, people from the Eight Desolations City are going to suffer misfortune again. It's a pity that there's a drop-dead gorgeous beauty among them. Unfortunately, I'm incapable of saving the beauty as a hero." A senior said gloomily.

The group of the Eight Desolations City felt furious. The joy of passing the examination completely disappeared. They understood that their bitter days were about to come.

Ye Yang sneered, turned to Bai Yunzi and said, "Principal, you want us to pay our respects to such kind of lousy persons?"Aren't you looking down on us freshmen?"

Without waiting for Bai Yunzi's reply, he slowly walked towards the pockmarked man.

"Ye Yang, come back! You are not allowed to fight here, or else you will be expelled." Lan Caidie said anxiously. Many people from her family were at Tianwu Academy so she knew the rules better than most others. .

Ye Yang turned a deaf ear to Lan Caidie’s words and continued to approach the pockmarked man. Everyone's attention was on Ye Yang now.

Ye Yang was dressed in a long black robe, which floated along with his steps and matched with his slender figure, releasing a powerful aura which impressed everyone.

"Wow, what a handsome boy!" A female disciple who was a boy crazy exclaimed in a low voice.

"That's right, such an aggressive look. I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest!"

"After today, I must find out which dorm he is in. I have to be quick to get a such a boy!"

Just as some of the female students were discussing softly, Ye Yang arrived in front of the pockmarked guy.

The pockmarked male still looked at Ye Yang with disdain and said, "Pretty boy, what? You want to hit me? I know that a little kid like you is bullsh * t. Don't blame me for not reminding you that if you dare to make a scene here, you will be expelled at once. How about getting out to where you belong? Hahaha!"

After he finished talking, he laughed arrogantly. The people around him also laughed and tried their best to ridicule.

Just as the main examiner wanted to speak, he stopped at Bai Yunzi's gaze.

Ye Yang's expression did not change. After they finished laughing, Ye Yang said in a clear voice, "You remember that I am Ye Yang. In the future, do not offend our Eight Desolations City's disciples. Or I will make them revenge mercilessly.”

As he finished his last sentence, a killing intent that seemed to be substantial fell instantly on the pockmarked man. Even the people around him were affected.

Everyone found it hard to breathe, as if a sharp blade was pressed against their throats and a single thought of killing could take their lives. Their faces turned ashen as their bodies became weak.

As for the pockmarked man, his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were dull. A large area of wetness covered his legs-- the intent had scared the shit out of him. And an unpleasant smell drifted out.

The moment Ye Yang's killing intent was released, Bai Yunzi and the main examiner both startled. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Bai Yunzi looked at this mysterious youngster with a complicated expression. Ye Yang’s killing intent even surprised him.

Killing intent was the aura that was generated after a martial cultivator had killed his enermy. The stronger the enemy, the stronger the killing intent would be.

Just a moment ago, when Ye Yang released the killing intent, even he felt a chill. Could Ye Yang have killed a martial Emperor?

But when he had this thought, he secretly denied it. A single martial cultivator killing an expert of Emperor Level, no one would believe such a joke. He was getting more and more confused about Ye Yang.

Ye Yang never thought that this brat would be so weak. He was clearly a martial warrior, but his willpower was so weak that he couldn't resist a bit of killing intent.

Ye Yang turned around and returned to his own group Just as Ye Yang left. With a "putong" sound, the pockfaced man could no longer put himself together and fell down on the ground, gasping heavily. His eyes were filled with fear and hatred.

Now he was totally humiliated. With everyone’s watching, he was scared by a freshman to the point of losing control of his bladder. He would probably become the laughingstock of the entire academy for a very long time.

With the support of his two companions, he left this place in a very “cool” manner.

No matter where he went, everyone would voluntarily make a way that was dozens of feet wide, just like for an emperor. Well, if everyone didn't cover their noses, the scene would look better.

No one had thought that the meeting of freshmen and the older students would end like this. The main examiner cleared his throat and said, "Next is to give awards. First, let me introduce the reward system and the rules for the usage of points."

Through the chief examiner's explanation, the freshmen all understood that Tianwu Academy had its own currency — — points.

Points were the private currency of Tianwu Academy, and could only be used within the academy. They were used to purchase Secret Scriptures of martial arts, rent advanced cultivation grounds, exchange medicinal pellets, and so on.

However, the points here could not be exchanged by external items. It could only be exchanged through completing missions, hunting magical beasts, or gaining treasures of heaven and earth by taking adventures.

According to the difficulty of the task, or the quality of the items, the academy would give out corresponding points. This was the only way to earn points.

After explaining these, the main examiner said, "Next, you will receive your points. The rule is to give the points according to the ranking of the Nine Nether Sky Stairway."

"First place: Ye Yang. Score: Pass. 10,000 points!" Just as he said that, the crowd burst into an uproar.

"What? Did I hear it wrong? 10,000 points? Our monthly allowance will only be 50 points!?”

"That's right. The previous year's top place was only worthy of 2,000 points. How could this kid be given 10,000 points? Is he the principal's relative or something?"

"Idiot, you're just focusing on the points. Didn't you hear? His result is “Pass”. He's the first one to pass in history!"

Everyone was filled with envy as they watched Ye Yang smile and receive his point card from the main examiner. They all wished that they could snatch it from him.

Ye Yang, on the other hand, had a calm expression. Although 10,000 points were very high, he had to learn inscription techniques in the future which would cost lots of points. The 10,000 points might not be enough.

After that, the main examiner respectively distributed the points to people from second to fifth places. Lan Caidie, who was the second, obtained 5,000 points with a result of 900 steps. She was so excited that she blushed, her eyes showing gratitude to Ye Yang.

The third, Mu Bai, obtained 3,000 points; the fourth, Ye Yuhan, 2,000 points; and the fifth, Guan Yanxue, 1,000.

People from the sixth to the 100th ranks all received a total of 500 points. Under the 100th, everyone got 300 points.

After working busily for nearly two hours to distribute all the awards, the chief examiner said, "A specific person will lead you to your dorms later. Have a good rest today and start the classes tomorrow."

"What? Class! "Ye Yang was too shocked that the point card in his hand slipped to the ground.
