Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Open Contribution Value

Why is everyone so eager to enter the Heavenly Palace Academy?

It’s certainly not just to listen to a few teachers discuss the art of killing.

Indeed, there are many benefits to being in this academy.

For example, Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques can be borrowed from the Scripture Pavilion, as well as various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can be accessed, but all these are predicated on having Contribution Value.

If you have Contribution Value, you can exchange it for various things.

However, until now, the academy has not announced how to obtain Contribution Value.

Some have asked, and the academy’s response was six months later.

Half a year after the Heavenly Palace Academy opens, one can start to obtain Contribution Value and then exchange it for various resources.

By calculating the time, there’s only a bit over a month left.

So, everyone is waiting.

Shi Hao and Xu Zeqi were half friends by now, and when they returned to their residence and hadn’t begun to rest, someone came looking for them again.

——New students definitely need to be taught a lesson.

Only, this time Xu Zeqi made a move, and again those people "invited" him for a midnight snack.

Both battles ended in the older students losing face, which caused Shi Hao and Xu Zeqi’s reputation to stink overnight.

However, with more information about these two being dug up, Shi Hao faced great disdain.

Fireball, Stone Sphere, Rabbit Dharma appearance?

Ha ha, what a joke, this is simply trash!

On the other hand, Xu Zeqi is not to be underestimated, although his Dharma appearance is an excessively fat Ferocious Beast, his strength has been proven, which means he’s a dark horse with astonishing power in his Dharma appearance.

Moreover, nobody has yet recognized what Ferocious Beast he visualized for his Dharma appearance, which adds a touch of mystery.

As time went on, Shi Hao also found out that although the academy had not been established for long, there were already many factions within.

Apart from the academy’s rigid division based on realms, the students had also spontaneously banded together based on their regions.

For example, the North Silver Alliance.

All the students from the Northern Silver Continent are in this alliance, very exclusive, refusing to accept students from outside the Northern Silver Continent, making it a first-rate force within the academy.

Apart from the North Silver Alliance, there is the West Rock Alliance, naturally formed by students from the Western Rock Continent, but their overall strength is weaker than the North Silver Alliance’s, only being a second-rate force.

It’s unavoidable, since the martial arts levels on the Western Rock Continent are a notch below the Northern Silver Continent’s, which reflects on the level of the Martial Artists there as well.

What about the Eastern Fire Continent?

Sorry, firstly the martial arts level of the Eastern Fire Continent is too low, and secondly, there are few people. Although they have also organized an alliance, it has not been taken seriously by anyone.

The strongest is naturally the South Wood Continent.

Students from other continents formed alliances based on the continent’s form, but the South Wood Continent is different.

——They have four alliances, and each one is a first-rate force.

By this comparison, one can see how awesome the South Wood Continent truly is.

These four alliances are the Righteous Alliance, Falling Flower Alliance, Haitai Alliance, and Heaven’s Path Alliance, with equal strength and difficult to distinguish in terms of superiority.

Indeed, if the North Silver Alliance hadn’t produced a monstrous talent named Luo He, who single-handedly held up the alliance and contended with the likes of the Righteous Alliance and the Falling Flower Alliance, then the academy would actually have only four first-class powers—all of which belonged to the South Wood Continent.

This Luo He is incredible, not even thirty years old, and has boldly advanced into the Supplementing Divine Temple, moreover, his combat power is not the slightest bit inferior to the several Alliance Hierarchs of the Righteous Alliance and the Falling Flower Alliance. He has earned face and respect for the Western Rock Continent.

On the contrary, the Western Rock Continent seems rather inferior. Although its Alliance Hierarch is also a genius, he is only in the Founding King Court and already forty-seven years old. Compared to Luo He, the gap is more than a little bit.

As for the Eastern Fire Continent, let it be; the strongest person in the entire continent is only at the Founding King Court—oh, and there’s one at the Supplementing Divine Temple, but who would care about that?

Therefore, within the Self-Observation Academy, the students naturally divided into factions: these belong to the Righteous Alliance, these to the Haitai Alliance, these to the North Silver Alliance. Of course, there are also some students not taken in by the major alliances and can only form smaller alliances by themselves.

In short, this is a place that values not just strength but also background. It’s very difficult to get by as a lone wolf.

Shi Hao set his sights on the Heaven’s Path Alliance.

The Heaven’s Path Alliance, as the name suggests, consists of students who all belong to the Heavenly Path Association, and only the descendants of the Heavenly Path Association families from the South Wood Continent are eligible to join. Other continents need not apply.

Shi Hao wanted to establish a good relationship with the Heaven’s Path Alliance so that it would be easier for him to investigate his own origins.

—When Wen Xiuxiu had taken action, it didn’t take long to uncover how many forces in the Western Rock Continent had lost babies twenty years ago, which showed the deep network of influence of the Heavenly Path Association.

As time passed day by day, the six-month period was almost up, and Shi Hao was harassed from time to time by seniors who wanted to teach him a lesson. Of course, the result was always the seniors being taught a lesson by him and thrown out of the academy.

He had gained some minor fame, but that was only within a small circle. Organizations like the Righteous Alliance certainly had no interest in contact with him.

Finally, the academy announced the method for acquiring Contribution Value points.

—Slaying Elemental Creatures.

For the Soul Nurturing realm, one creature could be exchanged for one Contribution Value, other Shore Realm for five points, Self-Observation for twenty points, Founding King Court for a hundred points, Supplementing Divine Temple for five hundred points. As for the Great Sacrificial Heaven and above, the academy did not announce an exchange rate, because it was estimated that no student would be able to kill such creatures.

If someone actually did, the academy would not be stingy with awarding Contribution Values.

However, this surprised the students. What Elemental Creatures?

Isn’t an element a type of energy? How could it become a creature?

Yet, the academy announced another reward.

—The Great Void Realm.

This is a Spirit world created by an Almighty, and only souls can enter. Inside, the flow of time would accelerate tenfold.

Which means, ten days inside would only amount to one day outside.

This benefit was enormous.

However, entering the Great Void Realm also required spending Contribution Values, three hundred for a day outside, which equated to ten days inside.

This news excited the students, and they began inquiring where they could go to slay Elemental Creatures.

Next, each student was called in for individual discussion.

About what?

Shi Hao also entered a room and saw someone sitting across from him, shrouded in darkness, invisible even to his Ocular Power. Yet, with his domain open, he couldn’t be fooled.

The man was middle-aged with a hooked nose.

"If you want to continue staying in the academy, you must sign an agreement," said the man with the hooked nose. "Next, you’re going to a very dangerous place where you can hunt Elemental Creatures, earn Contribution Value, but it’s also extremely risky, and you could easily die."

"Once you decide to stay, there’s no turning back. Whenever there’s a need, you’ll have to enter that place and fight."

"Moreover, you must keep this matter confidential and not reveal any information about that place to anyone outside the academy."
