The Contribution Hall was the most important location within the Wusheng Academy.
The prosperity of Wusheng Academy was inseparably linked to Contribution Points, and the treasures contributed from numerous regions within the Wusheng nation were usually placed in the Contribution Hall.
The disciples of Wusheng Academy could use Contribution Points to exchange for some of these items.
There were two ways to obtain Contribution Points—the first was to complete tasks and receive Contribution Points as rewards.
Executing tasks also brought considerable benefits to the academy, and those Contribution Points served as a form of remuneration.
The other method was to sell some valuable items to the Contribution Hall. Not only could treasures be exchanged, but some items could also be converted into Contribution Points.
Of course, the buying price was far lower than the selling price.
However, within the confines of Wusheng Academy, there was no third method to acquire Contribution Points, so to accumulate these points, many disciples would sell some of their possessions to the Contribution Hall.
The Contribution Hall could thus make a profit from the price difference.
At present, Chu Fengmian held ten thousand Contribution Points he had previously earned during the Ark Assessment, and another thirteen thousand Contribution Points obtained by exchanging Demon Cores from the second beast hunting assessment.
In total, twenty-three thousand Contribution Points, which was considered quite a wealth.
This wealth was comparative to that of two Lin mansions and, in some remote areas, was enough to make one a wealthy individual.
As Chu Fengmian had just stepped into the Contribution Hall, a thunderous yell suddenly erupted from one side.
He turned his head and saw several burly men approaching, all dressed in red robes that signified their identity.
Members of the Enforcement Team.
Within Wusheng Academy, there was a significant force known as the Enforcement Team, which generally patrolled the academy to maintain its regulations.
These members of the Enforcement Team were mostly elder external members whose qualifications were insufficient for promotion to the inner court but still possessed decent strength.
They chose to join the Enforcement Team; although it consumed some of their training time, they gained substantial benefits from it.
"What can I do for you?"
Chu Fengmian watched the group of Enforcement Team disciples approach and calmly inquired.
These members of the Enforcement Team, although all possessing strength around the peak of the Body Refining Realm, were easily manageable by Chu Fengmian’s estimation.
However, since the Enforcement Team disciples had the right to oversee other disciples, Chu Fengmian preferred to avoid any unnecessary conflicts.
"Nothing much, just that you seem a bit unfamiliar?"
One of the Enforcement Team disciples examined Chu Fengmian, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"We from the Enforcement Team patrol the academy daily, which is very arduous. As a newcomer, shouldn’t you contribute some wealth to the academy?"
Seeing the group of Enforcement Team disciples approaching, Chu Fengmian guessed their intentions.
The members of the Enforcement Team often exploited their enforcement rights to extort wealth from certain disciples, especially the newcomers, who were frequently targeted.
Since the newcomers were just entering the academy and preferred to avoid conflicts, they generally resolved matters by paying money.
It seemed these members of the Enforcement Team noticed Chu Fengmian’s unfamiliar face and thus wanted to extort some benefits from him.
"This is a gift, you all have worked hard."
Chu Fengmian, feeling disinclined to fuss with these people, casually took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills from his storage bag and tossed it to the leading Enforcement Team disciple.
This amount of wealth meant little to Chu Fengmian, who preferred to avoid hassle.
Seeing Chu Fengmian so straightforward, the greedy look in the enforcement team disciple’s eyes deepened as he held the bottle of Qi Gathering Pills in his hand and smiled.
"Junior Brother is indeed generous, but we have more than a dozen brothers here, and we can’t share just one bottle of pills."
"How about this, Junior Brother? Bring out some more pills for us, one bottle per person for these dozen brothers, that will also count as your contribution to the academy."
Watching the group of enforcement team disciples still not relenting, Chu Fengmian’s eyes revealed a trace of coldness.
He had not intended to entangle with this group of enforcement team disciples, but since they wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him.
Chu Fengmian wasn’t afraid of these enforcement team disciples.
People’s greed can never be satisfied, it seemed they were treating Chu Fengmian as a soft persimmon to squeeze.
Chu Fengmian frowned and roared angrily.
He could also see that this group of enforcement team disciples was insatiably greedy, and he had no intention of entangling with them.
"What did you say, kid?"
The enforcement team disciple’s eyes showed a hint of anger.
"How dare you oppose our enforcement team disciples, it seems you do not know our enforcement team’s ferocity."
"Come, some of you, teach this kid a lesson, take his storage bag. Since he won’t hand it over willingly, we’ll take it ourselves!"
"A newcomer, just establishing a foothold in the academy, dares to be so arrogant, it seems he needs a lesson!"
"Brother Feng Qi, let me handle it, it’s been a long time since I’ve disciplined such an ignorant newcomer!"
A hawk-nosed martial artist stepped forward from the crowd, glanced at Chu Fengmian a few times, and sneered.
"Kid, don’t think that you are some genius in the outside world. Once you come to the Wusheng Academy, even if you are a dragon, you should coil up!"
As the hawk-nosed martial artist spoke, he suddenly threw a punch at Chu Fengmian.
The punch swept up a gust of wind, strong enough to snap a towering tree in half, capable of breaking several ribs of an ordinary martial artist at the seventh level of body tempering.
Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned icy, his own fist clenched, and he hurled it at the hawk-nosed man.
"A bunch of academy-fed dogs, and you really think you own the academy?"
The hawk-nosed martial artist’s arm twisted into an odd shape, and under Chu Fengmian’s punch, it was directly broken.
This was still Chu Fengmian holding back, otherwise, his punch could have killed the hawk-nosed martial artist.
"A newcomer, possessing such terrifying strength?"
Seeing the hawk-nosed man’s arm broken by a single punch, the other enforcement team disciples’ faces also darkened.
"Kid, no matter how strong you are, how dare you injure our enforcement team disciple, it seems you really don’t take our enforcement team seriously!"
The leader of the enforcement team disciples said coldly.
"Kneel down, hand over your storage bag, apologize to us, and we’ll consider the matter settled."
"Otherwise, the consequences of offending our enforcement team are something you’ll regret!"
