Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Advice

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The maid serving them was also stunned.

There are hundreds of dishes on the menu, serving them all once, can you really finish them?

"You’re ruthless!"

Qin Shi reacted and gave Ling Chen a thumbs up.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Anyway, I don’t know which dish is tasty, let’s try them all once and if any are good, we’ll order more of those."

He turned to Chi Shen and said, "Elder, you won’t mind, will you?"

"What a joke!"

Chi Shen said indifferently, "I wouldn’t dare to do this in some of the restaurants in the Royal Capital, but here in Taiyi, not to mention once, serving them ten times is no problem."

"Great!"

Qin Shi clapped his hands, "Come on, bring all the wine as well."

The maid finally caught on and explained, "Honored guests, to serve all the dishes and wine once, it would cost at least dozens of top-quality Primordial Spirit Stones."

"No worries, just serve them all once."

Ling Chen smiled.

He could tell that the maid was afraid they were going to dine and dash.

Ling Chen introduced Chi Shen to the maid, "This gentleman is a big shot from the Royal Capital, don’t worry, we won’t owe you money."

"Yes."

The maid then left with a face full of surprise.

"Brother."

Ling Wu tugged at Ling Chen’s sleeve and whispered, "Aren’t we being too wasteful? Dozens of top-quality Primordial Spirit Stones! That’s enough for us to cultivate for a long time."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you underestimate the super experts at the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm. A mere dozens of top-quality Primordial Spirit Stones don’t matter much to them."

He had in his hands a spatial ring from Jiang Wuyan, an eighth-level expert of the Primordial Pill Realm, which contained over a thousand top-quality Primordial Spirit Stones.

And Chi Shen, being an elder of the Star Academy, likely had no less than a family elder.

"Ha ha."

Chi Shen was also amused, "Ling Wu, rest assured, these Primordial Spirit Stones are nothing."

Amidst laughter, the atmosphere became lively.

Given Chi Shen’s unsurpassed wealth, he naturally drew the attention of the restaurant owner, who ordered the kitchen to start preparing for them immediately.

The fine wines were brought up first, followed by delicacies like flowing water.

As they drank and exchanged cups, everyone became much closer.

"Xu Lin, I want to ask, why did you change your mind and choose our Star Academy?"

Chi Shen asked curiously.

Honestly, the Star Academy was indeed a bit inferior to the King Star Academy.

He did not believe the rhetoric from Xu Lin.

Though he spoke with great righteousness, it was just a facade suitable for public rebuttals. In truth, everyone knew it was just an excuse.

Xu Lin and Ling Chen were not the same.

Although Ye Fan targeted Ling Chen mainly to connect with the Jiang Family.

Even if Xu Lin joined the King Star Academy, with Ye Fan’s status, he wouldn’t inexplicable target Xu Lin.

Moreover, it was Ye Fan who had invited Xu Lin.

"Actually, there’s nothing much. Firstly, I don’t like Ye Fan as a person, and secondly, because of Young Master Lingchen."

"To be honest, I actually wanted to meet the Arrow God through Young Master Lingchen. I already possess the Shadow Spirit Body and am adept at assassination techniques. If I could learn the Divine Arrow Technique from the Arrow God, perhaps I could avoid taking too many risks myself."

Xu Lin smiled.

He had prepared his reasons in advance.

Naturally, he wouldn’t mention the dealings of the dark night.

That was also why Ling Chen believed Xu Lin would join the Star Academy.

"So that’s how it is."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Xu Lin’s reasoning was quite unique.

After a satisfying meal and drink.

Chi Shen gathered his smile, speaking earnestly: "Although you have joined the Academy of Marshal Stars, do not be complacent."

"You must know that the Academy of Marshal Stars gathers nearly half of the top talents from the Great Xia Dynasty. Outsiders might think that joining the Academy of Marshal Stars is a tremendous honor, but how would they know the fierce competition within the academy!"

"Today, I have gathered you here, not just to welcome you, but primarily to share the firsthand advice of a senior."

"In the Academy of Marshal Stars, almost all Cultivation Resources have to be fought for by yourselves, the academy doesn’t classify students by levels. Only when you join will the academy assign a rating to you, based on which you will receive the corresponding Cultivation Resources. After that, you’re on your own."

"You can undertake missions, challenge the leaderboard rankings, or even directly snatch resources from others!"

"What, the academy doesn’t forbid this?"

Qin Shi exclaimed in surprise.

The situation within the two great academies is not allowed to be disclosed.

So, even though he is a Noble Family’s Young Master, he wasn’t aware of these things.

"No."

Chi Shen said: "Although it is called an academy, the Academy of Marshal Stars is in fact very close to the cruel outside world of cultivation."

"The only difference may be in the severity of actions. In the outside world, killing is extremely common, but in the academy, as long as one doesn’t die or get incapacitated, no one will interfere!"

"Of course, the incapacitation here refers to not ruining someone’s Cultivation, not physical disability."

"That cruel?"

Both Ling Wu and Ye Zhenzhen showed terrified expressions on their faces.

They hadn’t expected that the academy they yearned for would be akin to a hellish world.

"There must be more to it, right?"

Ling Chen suddenly let out a cold laugh.

If even the current King You, Xia Jiuyou, unhesitatingly strips others of their physique, how could the two academies under his rule be any different?

Chi Shen looked at Ling Chen in surprise.

What Ling Chen said was indeed true.

Especially for female cultivators, it was a hundred times more brutal.

Some female cultivators without any background could only sell their bodies to gain a chance to cultivate.

To put it bluntly, the Academy of Marshal Stars was also a world where the strong dominate.

Not much different from the outside world.

Either have strength or have backing.

Chi Shen continued:

"So, I hope you can unite, not fight each on your own, form a small group to help each other, and advance and retreat together. Only in this way can you obtain some Cultivation Resources."

"Furthermore, there are many strong organizations established within the academy, which we call clans. You can also join them to gain protection from your clan, though it requires paying some Cultivation Resources. But compared to being robbed of everything, it’s still quite good."

"That’s it, I won’t say more. Finally, a word for you all, the moment you set foot in the Academy of Marshal Stars, the cruel world is presented before you, I wish you good luck!"

With that, Chi Shen drifted away.

Leaving only Ling Chen and his five companions.

The private room fell silent.

Everyone was deep in thought.

Clearly, Chi Shen’s words had given them a great shock.

After a long while, Qin Shi spoke: "Shall we return as well?"

They, the students of the Eight Great Academies, all stayed at the Yunqi Inn and could go back together.

"Alright."

Ling Chen nodded.

Soon, everyone returned to the Yunqi Inn.

Fourth floor.

"Young Master Ling, Miss Ling, Miss Ye, see you tomorrow."

Qin Shi and his companions bowed and bid farewell.

"See you tomorrow."

Ling Wu and Ye Zhenzhen responded with smiles.

Only Ling Chen turned to Su Su, saying: "Miss Su, if you have no other plans, could I invite you to my room for a chat?"
