Each dormitory was a small courtyard, and there were four rooms in each courtyard.
When Du Shaofu arrived at the dormitory, he found out from Jin Yanbing that the other three rooms were occupied by Honorary Students. The three of them were called Wu Qingfeng, Zhang Wei, and Sun Zhi. Coincidentally, he met the three of them in a small hall in the dormitory.
"Greetings, Senior Jin."
Upon seeing Jin Yanbing, the three of them quickly bowed respectfully. Their gazes were also curiously on Du Shaofu.
"There's no need for formalities. This is Junior Du Shaofu. You guys should get to know each other better in the future."
Jin Yanbing stood with his hands behind his back and introduced the three of them to Du Shaofu enthusiastically. "Junior Lu, let me introduce them to you. This is Wu Qingfeng, the one in the middle is Zhang Wei, and the last one is Sun Zhi. In the future, you guys will be roommates in the same dormitory and can take care of each other."
Du Shaofu looked over and saw that the three of them were around sixteen or seventeen years old. Two of them had the aura of Xiantian Realm Consummation while the other was at Xiantian Realm Pinnacle Xiantian Realm. Wu Qingfeng appeared to be slightly more mature. He was tall and had a straight figure. His face was rather handsome and he emitted a heavy aura.
Sun Zhi appeared to be the youngest. His eyes were bright and he seemed to be rather quick-witted. However, his cultivation was the lowest and was only at Xiantian Realm Nirvana Realm.
Zhang Wei might not be tall, but he had a muscular body. His hair was slightly curled and under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were black and bright.
"Junior Du, this is the academy's badge and point card. Drip your blood on it and it will be activated. The badge is the symbol of Tianwu Academy. It proves that you are a part of Tianwu Academy and will follow you for the rest of your life. The point card is used to accumulate points. If you don't know anything, you can ask Wu Qingfeng and the other two. The four of you should get to know each other better. Come to the chore office tomorrow morning. There will be some chores for you guys to do. " Jin Yanbing handed Du Shaofu a badge and a jade token made of unknown materials before leaving the courtyard.
"Take care, Senior Jin."
Wu Qingfeng, Zhang Wei, and Sun Zhi bowed politely to send Jin Yanbing off. They had just arrived at Tianwu Academy, and they were under the jurisdiction of the Miscellaneous Affairs Division. Naturally, they didn't dare to offend Jin Yanbing.
"Phew …"
Looking at Jin Yanbing's departing figure, Du Shaofu took in a deep breath. Come to think of it, he had officially entered Tianwu Academy.
"Now that our dormitory is complete, the four of us will probably be staying in Tianwu Academy for a few years. This can be considered fate."
After seeing Jin Yanbing walk away, Sun Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Du Shaofu and asked: "The three of us have already gotten to know each other. Wu Qingfeng is the oldest, 18 years old this year, Zhang Wei is 17, and I am the youngest, 15 years and 4 months old. Brother Du, what about you?"
"I'm sixteen." Du Shaofu smiled calmly.
"I've long noticed that you should be older than me. Sure enough, I was right."
Hearing those words, Sun Zhi smiled and raised his eyebrows. After which, he turned to Du Shaofu and said, "However, you are younger than the other two. In the future, you will be the third in our dormitory, I will be the fourth, and they will be the eldest and second. I hope that the four of us can become official students of Tianwu Academy in the future."
"That's right, I hope that the four of us can become official students of Tianwu Academy in the future." Zhang Wei nodded.
"I didn't expect that I would be the eldest in our dormitory despite being the fourth in our family. I'm sorry to have taken advantage of you." Wu Qingfeng had a tall and handsome figure. However, his words carried a simple and honest tone. He scratched the back of his head, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"You're the oldest, so you're naturally the eldest in our dormitory. However, being the eldest doesn't mean that you'll be taking advantage of us. You have to protect us in the future." Sun Zhi smiled.
"Hehe."
Wu Qingfeng chuckled. "That's not a problem. We'll be brothers in the future."
"That's right, we'll be brothers in the future." Zhang Wei nodded his head and his eyes shone brightly.
Du Shaofu smiled and nodded his head. The four of them weren't too far apart in age, so there wasn't any awkwardness between them. Soon, they became familiar with one another.
After which, Wu Qingfeng, Zhang Wei, and Sun Zhi enthusiastically brought Du Shaofu to Du Shaofu's room. There was only a bed and a square table in the room. There was an average-sized window in the room, and the decorations were simple. However, it was clean and tidy.
However, Du Shaofu didn't stay in his room for long before he was pulled out by Sun Zhi, Zhang Wei, and Wu Qingfeng for a chat. After they became familiar with one another, they started chatting about everything under the sun.
From their conversation, Du Shaofu found out that the three of them were eliminated from Tianwu Academy's freshmen examination a few days ago.
The examination was filled with danger. There were formations to obstruct the examination and there were battles between demonic beasts. Wu Qingfeng and Zhang Wei nearly entered the top three thousand freshmen, but due to their bad luck, they were eliminated at the last moment. Thus, they ended up among the Write-In Students. However, their treatment was slightly better. This dormitory was considered one of the better ones among all the dormitories. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stay here.
Sun Zhi, on the other hand, was eliminated very early and was also the first person to come to this dormitory. According to Sun Zhi, it seemed that he had given Jin Yanbing some benefits, which was why he was given special care. This kid had already familiarized himself with the situation here.
Sun Zhi was a chatterbox, as though he had an endless amount of things to say. He even told Wu Qingfeng, Zhang Wei, and Du Shaofu about the news that he had heard. For example, the benefits that he had given to Jin Yanbing and the other instructors would allow him to have an easier time in his chores. If he had the opportunity to be recommended to plant spirit herbs in the herb farm, he would be able to enjoy an easy and prestigious job. It was much better than some of the official disciples of the academy.
"Let me tell you, the most frightening thing isn't chopping firewood or picking dung, but mining the Black Stone Cavern. I heard that it is the most difficult job."
Sun Zhi whispered to the three of them. "I heard that mining the Black Stone Cavern can even tire one to death."
The four of them chatted about everything under the sun. Du Shaofu listened the most but spoke the least. He was playing with the Tianwu Academy emblem and point card that Jin Yanbing had given him.
"Emblem... My drunkard father had one too?"
After hesitating for a moment, Du Shaofu took out a dagger from his Cosmos Sack. He made a small cut on his index finger and dripped a droplet of faint golden blood onto the emblem. In an instant, a dazzling glow emanated from the emblem before it fell silent.
"It is quite profound. I should study it when I have the time."
As the blood dripped onto the emblem, Du Shaofu felt an invisible connection between him and the emblem. If they were closer, he would be able to sense the existence of the emblem.
At this moment, Du Shaofu could sense the auras of Wu Qingfeng, Zhang Wei, and Sun Zhi through the emblem. It was as though they were connected to his emblem.
"Third Brother, this emblem has many uses. For example, it can sense the aura of one's companions. As long as one is a student of Tianwu Academy, they will be able to sense one another within a certain range."
When Sun Zhi saw Du Shaofu dripping a droplet of blood onto the emblem, he reminded Du Shaofu, "Drip a droplet of blood onto your point card as well. This point card is very important and all students of Tianwu Academy, regardless of whether they are Honorary Students or Formal Students, will have one."
Hearing Sun Zhi's words, Du Shaofu dripped another droplet of blood onto his point card with interest.
"Chi!"
As the blood dripped onto the card, the runes on the point card glowed brightly and a series of numbers appeared on it.
"We're just Registered Students, so we only have ten points in our cards. Unlike the official students who have a hundred points in their cards, sigh …"
Looking at the numbers on Du Shaofu's point card, Zhang Wei sighed.
"It can't be helped. Honorary Students like us are naturally incomparable to Formal Students. If we have the chance to become Formal Students, we will be the same as them," Wu Qingfeng said. At the mention of Formal Students, his eyes were filled with yearning.
Hearing Wu Qingfeng's words, Du Shaofu asked the trio in puzzlement, "What are the points used for?"
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Sun Zhi looked at Du Shaofu doubtfully and said, "Points are extremely useful in Tianwu Academy. Without points, it would be difficult for you to move around in Tianwu Academy."
"Third Brother, I'll explain it to you like this. In the academy, points can be exchanged for elixirs, cultivation methods, martial skills, formations, spirit tools, spirit herbs, and all sorts of cultivation items of equal value. Even food costs points. In Tianwu Academy, cultivation coins are useless. Everything depends on points. "
Zhang Wei looked at Du Shaofu and said in one breath, "As registered students, when the points card is activated for the first time, we will have ten points. After that, we will have a basic five points every month. However, official students will have ten times more points than us. Moreover, official students will have different basic points every month according to their cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the more points you will have."
"I see."
Du Shaofu nodded his head. Points in Tianwu Academy were equivalent to cultivation coins in the outside world. They could be used to purchase anything. After pondering for a moment, he lifted his head and asked the trio, "May I know what level of battle technique and elixir I can buy with ten points?"
"A set of Initial Stage Animal-Grade battle technique or an Initial Stage Animal-Grade elixir." Wu Qingfeng replied to Du Shaofu.
"Ten points aren't enough."
Hearing Wu Qingfeng's words, Du Shaofu muttered. According to what Wu Qingfeng said, ten points were insufficient in Tianwu Academy. Frowning, he asked, "Is there any way to earn points?"
"Of course there is. Every student in Tianwu Academy will earn points for their cultivation."
