164: A great place to earn academic performance points: Blackland

He arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

Dongfang Yi was already sitting there waiting for him.

However, beside him sat a refined-looking middle-aged man.

He was always smiling, giving off a very gentle impression.

When Song Ming saw this person, his heart immediately tightened.

Anyone who could sit as an equal with God Yi was no weakling.

He politely bowed to the two of them.

Dongfang Yi was still the same; he didn't put on any airs of a Senior. He chuckled as he introduced Song Ming, "You must have heard of this gentleman. He is the Tower Master of the Tower of Trials, and also a renowned Artifact Refining Great Master of the Empire, Master Xu Tongjun!"

Song Ming immediately understood and cupped his hands again, saying, "Greetings, Master Xu."

He had, of course, heard of this Artifact Refining Great Master of the Great Xia Country.

He had made no small contribution to the country.

It was said that he had even forged more than one Divine-Grade equipment, earning him the title of Divine-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

As everyone knew, once a Professional's title was prefixed with the term Divine-Grade,

it indicated that his skill in this Dao had reached its pinnacle.

Grandmaster Xu's status was no less than that of God Yi.

"No need to be so formal, come and sit!" Xu Tongjun said kindly, without any airs of an elder Senior.

Song Ming then sat down generously.

Dongfang Yi immediately followed, "You should have already obtained the heart of infinity, right? Take it out and let me see."

Song Ming was a little puzzled, but still nodded.

He didn't quite understand why God Yi would be interested in the heart of infinity.

After all, the deal they had made before did not include the heart of infinity.

Furthermore, he had already used the item.

It couldn't be taken out again at all.

"I can't take it out; I've already used it!" Song Ming said concisely.

Dongfang Yi was surprised to hear this.

At the same time, he showed the same expression as those Professionals in the hall, "No, you just used it directly?"

As an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, Xu Tongjun knew the preciousness of such an item.

If the heart of infinity were given to him to refine, he would definitely be able to maximize its effectiveness.

It was a pity that the heart of infinity had already been used.

Song Ming said indifferently, "Yes."

He seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with his actions.

Dongfang Yi said somewhat painfully, "If the heart of infinity were given to Old Xu to forge, it would definitely be able to exert greater efficacy."

This was also the reason he specifically introduced Song Ming and Xu Tongjun.

Not only because of Song Ming's excellence, but more importantly, to help Song Ming make better use of the heart of infinity.

Song Ming, however, explained indifferently, "Using the heart of infinity directly provided the greatest help to me."

Dongfang Yi smiled helplessly, "Alright, the heart of infinity is yours. Use it however you want!"

Although Xu Tongjun also felt regret, he did not show it.

Legendary items were precious, but at his status, what kind of thing couldn't he obtain?

Putting the matter aside, Xu Tongjun asked with considerable curiosity, "Did you solo this time too?"

"Solo," Song Ming affirmed.

When had he ever entered a dungeon without soloing?

Even if he brought people into a dungeon, those people were just there to make up the numbers.

"How were the results?" Xu Tongjun asked with concern.

After all, it was a large-scale dungeon. Although one person could solo it, it would probably take a lot of time.

Dongfang Yi chuckled at this point, not interjecting, wearing an expression of watching a show.

He already knew Song Ming's clear time.

When this result was announced, it would definitely shock Old Xu!

"Seven hours and fourteen minutes!" Song Ming said.

"What? Over seven hours!"

"How did you do it?"

Xu Tongjun was clearly startled to hear this, momentarily unable to believe it.

This kid Song Ming not only accomplished something Dongfang Yi couldn't do back then,

but he even greatly surpassed it.

How could this not shock him?

"Uh, first like this, then like that, and then I cleared it!" Song Ming said vaguely.

He couldn't very well say that he just casually released a few skills, and all the monsters in the dungeon died in droves.

Xu Tongjun, however, was somewhat speechless.

He always felt that this kid was just trying to fob him off.

What did he mean, first like this, then like that, and then he cleared it?

That was a large-scale dungeon; it wasn't as easy as Song Ming made it sound.

Compared to Xu Tongjun, Dongfang Yi was obviously much calmer. He chuckled and said, "Alright, Old Xu, even if he tells you, you won't be able to learn it."

"Don't waste your energy. Can't you ask something useful?"

Xu Tongjun gave him a glare and said no more.

This kid was only Rank 100, yet his combat power was already so terrifying.

If he continued to level up, how far this child could grow, he didn't even dare to imagine.

It was no wonder he was so agitated.

The more Dongfang Yi looked at Song Ming, the more satisfied he felt. "Is there anything else you want? Just ask!"

Song Ming quickly said, "I want to know the specific requirements for joining the Supergod Academy?"

"The minimum Rank to enter Supergod Academy is Rank 150, I've already told you."

"Besides that, you must also go to the frontline battlefield and slay a Rank 160 Abyssal Demon General."

"And there's one last requirement: your academy performance points must reach 2000."

Dongfang Yi said leisurely.

Song Ming listened to these conditions, each one more demanding than the last.

A Rank 150 Rank was not a difficult task for him.

A Rank 160 Demon General was a bit difficult for him now.

As for 2000 academy performance points, that was the part that troubled him.

Although in the Instance Dungeon Palace, one could gain academy performance points by simply refreshing the clear record,

even if he cleared all dungeons above Rank 100,

he would only be able to get a little over 50 points.

Adding what he had obtained before, it was only a little over 170 points.

The difference from 2000 was not just a small amount.

Dongfang Yi looked at Song Ming with a smile and advised, "At your current Rank, you are too low to go to the frontline battlefield."

"However, if it's just about getting academy performance points, I can provide a good place!"

Song Ming immediately understood that God Yi was deliberately setting a trap for him.

However, he also desperately needed a place where he could earn academy performance points.

"Tell me," he said softly.

Dongfang Yi didn't waste any time, "Have you heard of the Black Land?"

"Black Land?" Song Ming shook his head, indicating he hadn't.

Dongfang Yi explained, "The so-called Black Land is actually a Contaminated Land, but ordinary Contaminated Lands are divided into four Ranks. We call those whose danger level exceeds this Rank the Black Land!"

"There are many good things in the Black Land, and many dungeons will also appear there."

"Completing tasks at the outpost or handing in your gains can earn you academy performance points."

"So, if you want to quickly earn performance points, then the Black Land is your best choice!"

Song Ming nodded, "How can I go?"

"Straightforward, I like your personality," Dongfang Yi praised, then continued, "Entering the Black Land also requires qualifications, just like special dungeons, not everyone can go!"

"However, I can grant you this qualification, as for the conditions... Hehe!"

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and Song Ming naturally understood this principle.

God Yi couldn't possibly support him for free; everything still had to be earned by himself.
