Hearing those words, Yan Chong’s eyes lit up.
Was there any place safer than the academy? Currently, the Western Continent was in turmoil, the Empire was in chaos, and there were Orcs invading from the outside. If one joined the academy, the relatively pure
atmosphere of the school would be relatively friendly.
Even though the academy here was extraordinary and violent, the ivory tower was more harmonious than the outside world. He could also systematically learn about the professionals.
Although Demon Eye Warlocks could replicate bloodlines, skills, proficiency, and related experience, it was not a systematic learning process. Most importantly, the academy was filled with professionals. In Yan
Chong’s eyes, it was a rich bloodline skill library.
“Yes! I’ve been looking forward to joining the academy too!” Yan Chong immediately showed an excited expression and expressed his opinion to Loli. “However, isn’t it a little difficult to join the three academies? What
are the requirements? And how much is the tuition fee?” Yan Chong did not forget to add. He was not sure if he could successfully join.
Could it be that Loli had some special relationship that she could recommend someone to join the academy directly? Then that would be awesome!
The surface area of the entire Western Continent was larger than Earth, and the total number of humans was close to ten billion. The status of the three major professional academies would definitely be higher than
top universities like Harvard, Oxford, Tsinghua and Beijing University.
“Under normal circumstances, you’ll have to take a strict assessment, including but not limited to examining your daily performance in generic schools and professional initiation schools, theoretical knowledge
assessment, combat test, and so on. The ratio of admissions is less than one-thousandth,” said Loli after thinking for a while.
“As for the tuition fees, it’s not very expensive. It’s about 10,000 gold coins a year. The living expenses are calculated separately. Those with outstanding talent can receive a reduction, or even an admission reward.
“However, those who participate in the Revolutionary Army can have priority passage.They don’t need to participate in strict assessments and there’s no consideration for the previous academic experience. They can
only be tested on related talents, and their talent requirements will be lowered by a level.”
Yan Chong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that. In terms of talent, he was confident that he could replicate it through his Demon Eye Bloodline. What talent could he not obtain? However, this required time.
Furthermore, the higher the talent, the more XP needed. It was not something that could be replicated just because he wanted to.
“What talent do they need?” Yan Chong asked nervously.
“There are all kinds of things. It’s better as long as one of them is particularly outstanding. For example, one’s own bloodline talent. If one is a Gold race, then they will definitely be able to join. The requirements of the
Revolutionary Army members have been lowered, and Silver race is also fine, but the tuition fees cannot be waived.”
“Phew—” Yan Chong was suddenly glad that he had the Silver Race Bloodline. It was just enough. As for the tuition fees, he could think of other ways in the future.
“Also, combat intelligence, like fighting above one’s level; and can surpass four minor levels. For example, a peak Black Iron Warrior can defeat an early-stage Silver Warrior. If the requirements are lowered now, three
minor levels can barely do it.
What kind of concept was this? If the destructive power of each level was measured by numbers, Black Iron was 1-99, Bronze was 100-999, and Silver was 1,000-9,999. In that case, it would be terrifying if someone
with 90+ battle prowess could surpass four levels and defeat someone with 1000+ battle prowess. Among them, there were three small levels of each level. The peak of Black Iron referred to the status of a late-stage
Black Iron being on the verge of breaking through.
“Also, the Elemental Affinity Physique has to reach…”
“Also, there must be a major breakthrough in Arcana, it has to achieve…”
As Loli explained, Yan Chong regained his confidence. This was because he could obtain these through the Demon Eye Bloodline. As long as he worked hard to earn XP, sooner or later, he would want all of them!
“Of the three major academies, Stellar College is rather picky. Most of the students they recruit are Arcana researchers. Unless one’s bloodlines, physiques, and other aspects reach the Legendary level, they cannot
enter. The requirements had dropped to Gold rank for members of the Revolutionary Army.
“Although Glory Knight Academy is more inclusive, their focus is on knight specialization. The other specializations are weaker.
“In the Western Continent’s United Academy, the standard of each profession is about the same. It’s neither good nor bad, but it has the most variety. There are all kinds of professions that you can’t think of, but there’s
nothing you can’t find.
“Most importantly, I’m actually a priest of God. This is prohibited in the other two academies.”
Yan Chong considered for a moment and said to Loli, “I think I still have a chance to join the three academies. Besides, I think the Western Continent’s Union Academy is better.”
“Then, I wish you good luck! Maybe I can even become your senior!” Loli said with a smile.
“Haha, yes Senior Sister! I’ll call you Senior Sister in advance, Senior Sister Luo Li!”
However, as soon as she said that, Loli’s face stiffened. There was something vaguely unnatural about her expression, but she recovered quickly. After that, for some reason, she seemed to feel much worse.
Yan Chong keenly noticed this, but he didn’t ask because his intuition told him that if he asked, it might cause something bad.
At this moment, Loli suddenly took out a blue card from her pocket and looked at it with a serious expression.
Yan Chong took the opportunity to activate [Reading].
Blue light shone, and several lines of text appeared.
Name: Communication Card (Functional Card).
Quality: Extraordinary +5.
Function: Long-Distance Words, Voices, Image Communications.
Description: The United Academy of Card Research in the Western Continent has suggested retail price: 998 gold coins.
“This is like a phone from another world! It’s so advanced. It’s even thinner than my ultra-thin phone!” Yan Chong sighed. He did not know if it could be used on Earth. He really wanted to get one, but it was just too
expensive. 998 gold coins was equivalent to 30 million yuan.
“The eldest princess, Sophia, has launched a coup to assassinate the first prince and the nobles who supported him.” Loli’s expression was extremely ugly as she spoke in a low voice.
“Eh, isn’t that a good thing? The conservative faction should be the representative of the Empire’s traditional forces. Doesn’t this mean that our Revolutionary Army has much fewer obstacles?” Yan Chong asked
doubtfully.
“Yes, the conservative faction is indeed the main culprit behind the Empire’s decay, but as a revolutionary faction, Sophia is not on our side.”
After thinking about it carefully, Yan Chong came to a conclusion.
Sophia should have been the kind of person with more foresight. She was unhappy with the state of the Empire and wanted to fight for the throne so she could perform major changes on the Empire.
However, she appeared too late. The Revolutionary Army was ready to attack and was completely on the opposite side of the royals and nobles.
There must be an irreconcilable conflict between the two. No matter how open-minded Sophia was, after she took over the power, she would either suppress recruitment or completely destroy the Revolutionary Army
in the country.
However, would the Revolutionary Army, backed by the three academies, obediently accept the suppression? In addition, the three academies already had a deep conflict with the Empire, so the final result was only
death.
“Originally, with the restraint of the conservative faction, our Revolutionary Army could still take advantage of the chaos, but I didn’t expect her to move so quickly, and her strength is actually so strong!”
Loli’s delicate brows were raised high, and her eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
Yan Chong had a feeling that the Orcs of Dawn Town were going to be in trouble..
