198: Chapter 198 Personnel Settled

“Alright, the points ranking has been released. The top ten will represent our Great Chu Dynasty in the upcoming Province Trials. The rest of you shouldn't be disheartened; becoming Green-Robed Disciples of the Dynasty Academy is already an excellent achievement.”

“The Province Trials are not a one-time event. If you weren't selected this time, then Cultivate diligently during this period and strive your best next time.”

“Additionally, three-tenths of all resources you obtained in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm must be handed over to the Academy. You can dispose of the remaining seven-tenths as you see fit. Of course, you can also hand them over to the Academy in exchange for Academy Contribution Points, which you can then use to acquire the Cultivation resources you need from the Academy.”

“If you obtained Cultivation Techniques or Martial Skills in the Secret Realm, you must hand them over to the Academy for a copy to be made, and the originals will be returned to you. The Academy will not take the Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques you risked your lives and toiled to obtain for free. Anyone who hands over Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills obtained in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm for copying will be given a certain amount of Academy Contribution Points as compensation, based on the Rank of the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills submitted.”

“However, the Academy also has certain requirements for copying Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills. This requirement is that the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills submitted for copying must be ones that our Dynasty Academy does not already possess. Otherwise, what is the point of copying Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills that are already available?”

After all the points rankings were released, Chu Ming immediately announced this and encouraged the Green-Robed Disciples present.

Upon hearing this, the Green-Robed Disciples all respectfully responded.

“Yes, Dean.”

At the same time, Chu Xingwen, the current Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, couldn't help but scan his gaze over Ling Yong, Ling Jun, and the other top ten individuals.

He was secretly overjoyed.

“The quality of these young ones participating in this year's Province Trials is significantly higher than before. I expect this year's Province Trials will be incredibly exciting and achieve excellent results. At that time, it will likely lead to the major sects rewarding us with a large amount of various resources.”

However, he quickly restrained his secret joy and then instructed Chu Ming, who was beside him.

“Chu Ming, I'll leave the rest here to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll return to the palace first.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty, please rest assured. Your subordinate will handle the remaining matters appropriately.”

Hearing Chu Xingwen's instructions, Chu Ming dared not delay. He immediately turned to the side, respectfully cupped his fists in response, and solemnly guaranteed.

Seeing Chu Ming's serious demeanor, Chu Xingwen couldn't help but nod, then stepped forward with a smile, patted his shoulder, and joked.

“Haha, why so serious? I trust you to handle things!”

After speaking, without waiting for Chu Ming to respond, he immediately led his personal guards and swiftly departed towards the Academy's entrance.

Seeing this, Chu Ming and the several Elders beside him couldn't help but respectfully bow to the departing Chu Xingwen.

“Farewell, Your Majesty!”

At the same time, Chu Yunmeng, seeing that her Imperial Father was leaving, immediately stepped forward. With a flip of her right hand, a Storage Pouch appeared in her palm. Within a few breaths, she arrived before Chu Ming. After handing the Storage Pouch to him, she smiled and said,

“Dean, this Storage Pouch contains five-tenths of the resources I obtained in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm. Three-tenths of it is for the Academy, and for the other two-tenths, Dean, please convert it into Academy Contribution Points for me.”

After speaking, without waiting for Chu Ming to say anything, she immediately hurried to catch up with Chu Xingwen and the others who were leaving, shouting loudly as she went.

“Imperial Father... Imperial Father, wait for your daughter...”

Looking at Chu Yunmeng's rapidly departing back, and then down at the Storage Pouch in his hand, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

“This girl...”

After putting away the Storage Pouch in his hand, he immediately instructed the Green-Robed Disciples before him once more.

“You all are to successively hand over three-tenths of the resources you obtained in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm to Elder Mingshan. After completing the submission, you may move about freely.”

“However, the top ten Green-Robed Disciples, due to needing to go out to participate in the Province Trials, will only have ten days of free time. You must return to the Academy after ten days. At that time, I will personally lead two Academy Elders to accompany you to participate in the Province Trials.”

“Do you understand?”

Towards the end, Chu Ming couldn't help but slightly raise his voice, directly asking the Green-Robed Disciples before him.

“Understood.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Lin, Ling Yong, and the other Green-Robed Disciples responded in unison.

Seeing this, Chu Ming nodded in satisfaction. Then, after giving a few instructions to Elder Mingshan, who was beside him, his figure flickered, and he instantly vanished from everyone's sight.

“Alright, I won't waste any more words. Once you are ready, just come to me, this Elder, to hand over the resources from the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm.”

“Of course, do not even think about cheating, concealing, or under-reporting your gains, otherwise, this Elder will make you understand what regret is!”

After speaking, he couldn't help but grin as he looked at the Green-Robed Disciples.

Looking at Elder Mingshan, who had a smiling face but revealed a hint of malevolence, everyone was momentarily stunned.

“Yong-ge, how should we hand over our gains?”

Ling Fei, who wasn't much affected, was the first to ask Ling Yong, whom the others regarded as their backbone.

“That's right, Yong-ge, should we actually hand over three-tenths of our gains, or should we hand over more to exchange for Academy Contribution Points, so that we can then exchange them for resources beneficial to our Cultivation?”

“Or, should we hide a portion of our gains and only hand over a portion, submitting three-tenths of that?”

At the same time, Ling Jun also chimed in with his question, but when he reached the end, his voice was as thin as a wisp of smoke. If Ling Yong and the others hadn't been at the Heaven Martial Realm and very close, they might not have even heard what he said at the end.

The remaining two, Ling Zhong and Ling Jie, also looked at Ling Yong with anticipation.

Seeing this, Ling Yong didn't think much and immediately expressed his opinion.

“We will hand over three-tenths of what we actually gained in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm. As for making false claims, there's no need to mention it again. People of my Ling Family act openly and honestly; we would never do such petty things.”

“As for the idea of handing over more gains to exchange for Academy Contribution Points, I think it's completely unnecessary. The Academy Contribution Points converted from the three-tenths of our actual gains will be entirely sufficient for our use, and there might even be a surplus.”

“Moreover, do you think the good things in this Academy could possibly be more numerous than those in the Family?”
