The restaurant owner was a middle-aged man with a kind and benevolent appearance.
However, appearances can be deceiving, especially for someone who could operate a tavern in Sin City.
It seemed the owner was no ordinary person.
When the owner showed up, he didn’t utter a word about wooing Mu Can.
Instead, he handed over a VIP card to Mu Can.
Without a certain status, one could not obtain the Drunken Immortal Tower’s VIP card.
With this card, one could not only get discounts at the VIP Tower but also reserve special seats.
After seeing Mu Can accept the VIP card, the Drunken Immortal Tower’s owner exchanged a few words before turning to leave.
Watching Mu Can holding the VIP card made Luo Tian quite envious for a while.
He strongly insisted that Mu Can must often treat him to meals before calming down.
Mu Can, holding the VIP card, appeared thoughtful.
"Tomorrow, let’s first get familiar with the environment of the Divine Wind Academy. It’s not only in Sin City."
After becoming full and satisfied from the meal, Luo Tian, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut, became restless.
The part of the Divine Wind Academy located inside Sin City is called Divine Wind Academy Main Building, where most students attend classes.
The students of the Divine Wind Academy must use the Transmission Array when they go out for experiential learning.
They are transported to a place called Beast Forest, where hunting Fierce Beasts is the main activity.
The overwhelming number of Fierce Beasts there have become a plague, and it’s said that each year some Fierce Beasts escape and attack the Cultivators outside.
"I heard that the person who will orientate us at the academy tomorrow is a Heavenly List master. They say you need to reach the Wuwei Realm to qualify for the Heavenly List competition. That’s so awesome, I mean, the Wuwei Realm! That’s just one step away from the All Things Realm," Luo Tian said, his face full of excitement.
Mu Can didn’t know where he got these rumors from, but he too was somewhat curious about the Heavenly List master.
"Pfft, there are countless people in the Supreme Interface who have reached the Wuwei Realm, but barely a few who can break through to the All Things Realm."
Wang Cai, having had his fill, lay lazily on Mu Can’s shoulder, listening to the two talk.
He was particularly disdainful of Luo Tian’s words.
If the All Things Realm were so easy to break through, then there wouldn’t be so many people stuck in the Wuwei Realm until death.
"That’s not how you should see it. If I had the Wuwei Realm’s strength, I could definitely solve the dangers of the Three Realms immediately."
Having been in the Supreme Interface for almost three months, Mu Can had also established his foothold here.
"By the way, there’s something I need to remind you about. Tomorrow, when freshmen officially start, there’ll be a freshmen competition. I guess a lot of people will be targeting you. I suggest you shouldn’t accept their challenges."
Luo Tian looked at Mu Can solemnly. Though usually jesting, Luo Tian was serious when it mattered.
"A freshmen competition? Competing in what?" Mu Can was confused, wondering how Luo Tian knew all these secret stories, as if he was born to be a spy.
The so-called freshmen competition happens on the first day of school, after the old students lead the new ones in familiarizing themselves with the academy—an event where freshmen challenge each other. Of course, their Cultivation must be suppressed to the same level.
And being the headmaster’s disciple, Mu Can would undoubtedly be challenged by a crowd.
"Challenge is okay, but are there any benefits?" Mu Can asked after thinking for a moment.
If it were fighting across levels, he might not be able to handle it now, but with same level fights, Mu Can had absolute confidence in himself.
"Of course, the usual stakes are ten Academic Points. You must know that only thirty Academic Points are freely given each month, so that’s a big deal."
Luo Tian looked at Mu Can, always feeling like Mu Can wanted to stir up some trouble.
"You’re not seriously considering accepting the challenge, are you?" Luo Tian widened his eyes. High talent doesn’t mean high Cultivation and strength.
He estimated Mu Can’s strength to be at the peak of the Void Level, not even qualified for the Yellow List and still far from the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Of course. No wonder the teacher told me yesterday to fight well," Mu Can nodded, as if it were only natural.
Before leaving yesterday, the headmaster had thrown him a line, telling him that in any battle he encountered, the only requirement was that he could not be defeated.
At that time, Mu Can was still thinking that fighting wasn’t allowed in Sin City, then how come it was necessary to only win and not lose.
"Sin City does not allow private fighting, but there are designated places that allow fighting, though both parties must agree."
Luo Tian burst into laughter upon hearing Mu Can’s question. If fighting were not allowed at all, how would these students fight each other to improve their strength?
How would the stronger ones go after robbing others’ Academic Points?
"Fight well, I believe in you. Try to break through and directly make it onto the Yellow List," Luo Tian patted Mu Can’s shoulder.
He was also eagerly anticipating how far this super-talented friend of his could go.
That’s just the kind of person Luo Tian was—the better his friends did, the happier he was, at least he could then eat at Mu Can’s place without feeling guilty in the future.
"Don’t worry," Mu Can nodded. Since he was in Sin City, he had to make some name for himself.
At least when facing the All Things Realm, he would have some capability to protect himself.
The two finished their dinner and left the restaurant to rest early.
But instead of resting, Mu Can turned and entered the sixth level space of the Reincarnation Pearl.
Facing the headmaster, who was of the same strength level, he began a series of battles.
Three hours later, Ye Tian was drenched in sweat, but the battle indeed had its effects.
Mu Can, who initially lost every time he made a move, now could touch his opponent.
Although he still couldn’t win, Mu Can felt a significant improvement in his combat skills.
Least of all, his control over his own strength had greatly increased.
But Mu Can also realized his shortcomings—his current Cultivation Technique was far behind his needs.
So now, an urgent matter was to choose a Cultivation Technique that he could keep practicing.
"Why didn’t the master put the Cultivation Technique into the Reincarnation Pearl back then?" Mu Can spoke out.
"Woof! You wouldn’t even be able to learn the old master’s Cultivation Technique. He probably got it from a forbidden zone. And when I asked him why he didn’t prepare some techniques for his future disciples, he told me that only those Cultivation Techniques created by oneself are truly suitable."
Wang Cai relayed exactly what the Stealing Heavenly Dao person once said to Mu Can.
Mu Can was speechless. Crafting a Cultivation Technique seemed profoundly challenging for him now.
But now that he had entered Divine Wind Academy, he should be able to find some Cultivation Techniques suitable for his practice there.
