After leaving the Shen Mansion.

Jiang Ning looked at the Identity Token Ye Zhengqi had just given him, feeling inexplicably sentimental.

Just before parting, he asked Ye Zhengqi how he could further his studies in the academy.

Previously, at the Martial Arts Garden in Dongling County, he personally experienced the benefits of the Martial Arts Garden.

The Martial Refining Tower not only increased his Qi Blood Power but also earned him a considerable amount of Academic Points, which he used to exchange for valuable resources for his practice and cultivation.

As for the Book Collection Building, it greatly enhanced his Reading and Writing Skill, significantly increasing his Experience Value.

Most importantly, it greatly expanded his knowledge, deepening his understanding and perception of this world.

Now that he had come to Guangning Prefecture, how could he not want to explore the academy?

The collection of books in the academy is more abundant than the Martial Arts Garden, not only broadening his knowledge and horizon but also increasing the accumulation of Experience Value in his Reading and Writing Skill.

The importance of this skill to him is now self-evident.

Furthermore.

He greatly wished to browse some ancient texts, especially those recording the Ancient Era.

That Ice Coffin has been lingering like a haunting presence these days.

Fortunately, there has been no different occurrence with the Ice Coffin and the woman within it, and it has yet to impact him.

However, this matter has been lingering in his heart, causing him slight unease.

The Ice Coffin Woman is too mysterious.

The Ice Coffin itself is too bizarre.

Even though he is now a Grandmaster, he still has no way to handle the Ice Coffin.

So he also wants to see if the academy's books might help him find some clues from the ancient texts.

However, when he expressed his doubts to Ye Zhengqi about how to further his studies in the academy.

Ye Zhengqi did not answer at that moment, instead handed him a Token.

And left a sentence.

With this Token, you can freely use all the buildings in the academy without charge, and you can freely enter and exit most places.

Holding the Token Ye Zhengqi gave him, thinking about how he previously had to spend considerable Academic Points at the Martial Arts Garden.

He felt the difference in status profoundly.

...

After a moment.

Jiang Ning, relying on the Token given by Ye Zhengqi, entered the academy alone.

Martial Refining Tower.

The tower is nine stories high.

From the day you enter the academy, if you can reach the top within the five-year term, you can qualify to study Martial Arts at the Royal Capital Daoist School.

On this day.

The copper bell hanging at the top of the nine-story tower resonated in unison.

The sound of the bell spread far with the wind.

As the copper bell resonated in unison, the sound arising.

It was like a stone dropping into a calm lake, instantly stirring waves of ripples.

Figures either young or mature quickly dashed towards the direction of the Martial Refining Tower.

"Who is it?"

"No idea!"

"Could it be Mo Tong? Last time he set foot on the ninth level of the Martial Refining Tower, indicating he's not far from clearing the ninth level."

"It's not that simple! His progress couldn't be that immense!"

"..."

All around the Martial Refining Tower, figures swiftly gathered, discussing and exchanging views on the way.

The simultaneous resonance of the copper bell in the Martial Refining Tower signifies someone has completed the climb, reaching the ninth level.

According to potential classification.

If one reaches the top within the first five years during their ten-year study at the academy, they are deemed Grandmaster potential, eligible for training at the Royal Capital Daoist School.

If they achieve reaching the top in the latter five years, they are considered graduates, eligible to start as a Standard Seventh Grade martial officer, and can rise in rank from there.

The academy's enrollment requirement is that one's age must not exceed thirty.

Therefore, all students in the Guangning City academy are not very old.

On the other side.

In front of the Martial Refining Tower.

Under the gaze of a sparse few.

Jiang Ning walked out of the Martial Refining Tower gate.

"Who is he?"

"Never seen him!!"

"Never seen him!!"

"Me neither!!!"

"..."

Under the simple discussions of a few people, Jiang Ning's figure flickered and disappeared from their sight.

Sensing this.

They looked at each other, perplexed, and exchanged glances.

"Hiss—"

"That speed..."

After a long while, someone gasped.

Once again asked: "Who exactly is he? So young, much younger than us, able to reach the top of the Martial Refining Tower's ninth tier, and with such astonishing movement technique, none of the instructors I've seen are as good in movement as he is."

"Yes! Not as good! Far not as good as he is!!"

"Who exactly is he?"

Faced with these questions about the person, no one could answer.

Silhouettes were constantly sprinting from afar, and Jiang Ning had already left.

Walking halfway, Jiang Ning recalled the experience he just had in the Martial Refining Tower, feeling immensely satisfied in his heart.

He didn't expect that after entering the Martial Refining Tower, his Identity Token registered at the Martial Arts Garden could also be used here.

Just having reached the top of the nine levels, the Academic Points acquired are now all recorded on the Identity Token in his hand.

His gaze swept across the Martial Arts Garden's Identity Token in his hand.

780.

Far surpassing the Academic Points earned during his previous climb in the Martial Arts Garden's Martial Refining Tower.

The 780 Academic Points he held now, if converted at the previous Martial Arts Garden exchange rate, one Academic Point equaled one tael of gold.

This was equivalent to the value of 780 taels of gold.

Most importantly, it was freely obtained.

Without spending any effort.

He nodded slightly.

Apart from the gain of Academic Points, the pure Qi Blood Power flowed into his body, for him to absorb and refine.

This made his physical condition much better again.

Not far from restoring to Peak state.

Once his physical condition completely recovers, the nourishment from new blood and the nurturing of the flesh is over.

He can then proceed with the second Blood Exchange.

With his current accumulation, the first three Blood Exchanges will pose no difficulty at all.

All the necessary conditions are already in place.

Now he just needs to wait for time, for his body condition to recover, for the transformation of his flesh, and the evolution of his life to conclude.

Then, he sped towards the Book Storage Pavilion in the academy.
