Chapter 30 Obtaining 350,000 Military Merits
Lu Huai had no idea as to what was going on back at the transit station.
At this moment, Lu Huai and Liu Changqing had already arrived at the Heavenly Divine Academy.
The huge campus of the Heavenly Divine Academy was filled with trees and buildings. Lu Huai would believe it even if he were told that it was an independent city.
It was truly magnificent.
As expected of the Heavenly Divine Academy!
Liu Changqing said, “Our Heavenly Divine Academy is the number one academy in the alliance. Half of the magic city belongs to our Heavenly Divine Academy.”
“This is the place you will be staying after you pass the entrance exam.”
“It’s a little different from high school. The students here don’t rely on their academic results to advance.”
“Instead, they rely on military merits.”
“Military merits?”
Lu Huai repeated curiously.
“Yes.”
Liu Changqing nodded and smiled. “These so-called military merits are points that you obtain from killing demonic beasts.”
“Military merits are not only a basis for raising your academic rank. They can also raise the grade of your badge.”
“I’ve already asked General Luo to help you calculate your military merits. She will probably be here in a while.”
“As for the examination, it will begin tomorrow morning. You don’t have to rush.”
Lu Huai was not in a hurry. Moreover, he had just experienced a battle. He would not have enough energy to participate in the exam right away anyway.
“I’ll help you with the admission procedures first. You don’t need to rush to take the exam.
Liu Changqing quickly took Lu Huai to complete the admission procedures and brought him to the student dormitory.
The other students who passed by all looked at him.
To be able to have the dean personally
accompany him to handle his admission process, it was clear to all that saw him that his
identity was special.
It was even very likely that he got in through the back door.
“I did not even pass the exam yet. Is it really appropriate for me to get admitted into the academy already?”
Lu Huai held his student ID in his hand and asked doubtfully.
Liu Changqing stroked his white beard and said with a calm expression, “You’ve even managed to get through a beast tide, do you honestly think a mere exam can stump you?”
“The exam is only a formality so that you can avoid being gossiped about by others.”
Liu Changqing’s words were very sensible. After all, it was just an entrance examination, so its difficulty should not be that high.
Lu Huai did not delay and kept the student ID in his spatial ring.
“Head in first. You’re the only one living in this dormitory, so you can do whatever you
want.
“Make sure to have a good rest first, though.’
Liu Changqing pointed in front of them at a detached building with a garden.
Lu Huai gulped.
I’m going to be living alone? Isn’t this a bit too
extravagant?
“There’s no need to be surprised. All the students of the Heavenly Divine Academy live
alone.”
“Those who can enter the Heavenly Divine
Academy are all geniuses. How can we treat
them poorly?”
Meanwhile, Big Black immediately ran around
the garden as soon as it saw it.
From time to time, it would raise one of its
hind legs and leave its mark behind.
“Your pet is quite mischievous,” Liu Changqing
laughed and said.
Lu Huai smiled awkwardly and did not say
anything.
The two of them entered the dormitory. The dormitory’s furnishings were also very luxurious. There was a large hall on the first floor, as well as a kitchen and everything else
he needed.
The entire building was three stories high and had at least seven to eight rooms. One could see how generous the Heavenly
Divine Academy was just from this alone.
“Since you’ve already enrolled in our academy, I’ll teach you some knowledge that you were not taught in high school.

Liu Changqing gestured for Lu Huai to take a
seat. “I’m sure that you know that martial artists are
divided into different realms. You are currently
in the martial master realm, and there are many demonic beasts that have an equivalent realm to yours.”
“Did you see the runes on the railcar?”
Lu Huai nodded and replied, “The person in
charge of the Anyang Alliance, Long Sheng, introduced them to me.”
“Mm.” Liu Changqing paused for a moment and then continued, “There are also very special existences among martial artists, such as runic masters who master the runic arts and psychic masters who master psychokinesis.” “There are also medicinal masters who master the creation of medicine.”
“Besides those… there are even half-demons
who master the abilities of demonic beasts.
“Anse, who you saw at that time, is a half-demon.”
Lu Huai suddenly realized that martial artists were further divided into so many different branches. This was something that he had
never come into contact with in high school. “Although there are many branches, they are all ultimately martial artists. That does not change.”
“When martial artists awaken their talent, they will gain a unique talent.”
“This talent will determine their cultivation speed, as well as which specific cultivation techniques and martial skills they can learn
and what elemental martial skills they can master.
“There are also some martial artists who are talented in exploration and healing. In exchange, however, they are generally not as gifted when it comes to combat.”
“My lightning ability makes it so that I can only practice lightning-type elemental martial skills. “
“Your space-type talent is similar in that you can only cultivate space-type elemental martial skills.”
“Of course, there are also some martial skills
that focus on the use of blood and qi. The sky-blasting fist you learned before is one of them.”
“Although spatial martial arts are very rare, the
Academy still has them. you can also try to learn them.”
Lu Huai opened his mouth but eventually closed it before saying anything.
He had wanted to say that he did not have any space-type martial skill and that what he had shown previously was merely the supplementary ability of his body tempering
art.
Furthermore, he had also wanted to say that even if he were to get his hands on those elemental martial skills, he might not be able to learn them.
But on second thought, he had martial arts memories with him. Even if he could not learn them, he could probably still modify them. Liu Changqing kept his mouth shut and waited
for Lu Huai to digest the information before he
continued, “That’s about it.”
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you
can ask me at any time.”
There was nothing that Lu Huai could not understand.
These things were all easy to understand.
“General Luo should soon be here.”
Just as Liu Changqing said that, a knock could
be heard coming from the door.
Luo Shui pushed the door open and entered the
dorm.
“Dean Liu, you’re really treating me like an errand boy. You even directly told me where Lu
Huai lives as if expecting me to want to come
here.”
Luo Shui smiled bitterly.
“It seems that I’ve troubled General Luo.”
“Not at all.”
Luo Shui came to the living room and said to Lu Huai, “Lu Huai, after the alliance’s confirmation of everything that happened, your military merits are as follows.” “300,000 military merits for helping to suppress the beast tide.”
“49,060 military merits for killing 3,623 demonic beasts, most of which were demonic apprentices and demonic soldiers, and two of which were demonic masters.”
“1,000 military merits for assisting in the killing of a demonic venerable.”
“Total military points: 350,060.” “Additionally, the alliance rewards you with 10,000,000 alliance dollars. Your Heavenly Divine Academy’s badge has been upgraded to the third rank, and you have the authority to
deploy soldiers below the rank of warrant officer.”
The series of numbers made Lu Huai a little dizzy.
He only heard the last sentence, “You can
deploy soldiers below the rank of warrant officer!”
“Isn’t this authority a little too high?” Lu Huai asked in surprise.
“This is the special privilege of our Heavenly
Divine Academy. The alliance has given you special permission. Anyway, you deserve this.” Liu Changqing smiled and said.
“The martial artists of the Heavenly Divine Academy fight against demonic beasts with their lives on the line. The alliance will naturally not let you feel mistreated.” “Military merits can also be used to exchange
for items in the alliance. It all depends on how
you choose to use them.”
Luo Shui gestured for Lu Huai to take out his badge and alliance card.
The reward was instantly transferred to Lu
Huai’s account, and his badge was also successfully upgraded.
“General Luo, please help me distribute 100,000 military merits to the veterans who
participated in the battle.”
Luo Shui looked at Lu Huai in surprise.
She initially thought Lu Huai wanted to exchange for something, but she did not expect
him to make such a request.
Lu Huai was not giving out these military
merits to
try and gain favor. Instead, it was because he was truly grateful to
the veterans.
If it was not for them, the demonic beasts would have most likely gotten
to the railcar and wreaked havoc.
Their contributions could not be denied.
Liu Changqing looked at Lu Huai with a
gratified expression.
This kid is pretty good. He has the qualities of a leader!
“Sure,” she said. Luo Shui did not interfere
with Lu Huai’s decision. After taking away Lu Huai’s military merits,
she affirmed that she would distribute them
among the veterans.
“Dean Liu, I’m almost done with the things you’ve asked me to do. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Thank you, General Luo.” Lu Huai expressed
his gratitude.
After Luo Shui and Liu Changqing left, Big Black entered the dormitory.
“What’s wrong, Big Black?”
Big Black looked at Lu Huai with disdain in its
eyes.
[Ding! Silly Doggy disdainfully reminds you
that the cooldown for its time treasure hunt
has refreshed!]
