Chapter 156: Chu Lingluo: Are Academy Points Really That Hard to Get?
Yan Yunyu and Chu Lingluo’s casual indifference ruined Flower Xingyu’s scheme, leaving him confused after his prolonged boasting.
"What’s happening? I explained everything clearly. Don’t they grasp the Thunder Pool’s value?"
"Without this Southeast League Examination, they’d never encounter such a treasure in their lifetimes!"
As he puzzled over this, Mu Lin’s group arrived and paused, drawing surrounding attention and sparking murmurs.
"Who are they? I don’t recognize any."
"Why would you? Their attire marks them as outer-province Taoist Palace examinees."
"Outstanding talents? At the Spring Fountain’s initial stage? Their academy hands out that title too easily. I bet I’d be called a talent too if I went there."
The speaker eyed Mu Lin’s group with contempt.
No one contradicted this. Instead, others nodded naturally:
"You would earn that title there. But would you actually go?"
"Of course… not. Outer academy titles are empty. At Yuhu Academy, we gain real benefits. Just our Thunder Prison alone would amaze them."
"True enough."
"I’d consider going… Forget the rest, their girls are truly beautiful with refined charm."
"No need to go—they’ve come to us now, haven’t they?"
This last remark startled many before someone agreed: "Right. Their arrival means our opportunity has come."
"Damn! Flower Xingyu acted first. Impressing them with the Radiance of Thunder Prison and sharing adventure stories—perfect for catching girls’ attention. Why didn’t I think of that…"
Reactions varied as Mu Lin’s group approached—some ignored them, some seethed, while others lustfully gravitated toward Yan Yunyu’s location.
Mu Lin standing beside the girls went entirely unnoticed. None considered him competition.
But while others dismissed him, Yan Yunyu noticed.
Seeing Mu Lin’s longing gaze at the Radiance of Thunder Prison, she stepped forward: "Brother Mu, want to train in the Thunder Pool? I can arrange it."
"?!?!"
Before Mu Lin could respond, Flower Xingyu blurted: "Impossible!"
As he fumbled for explanations, Lin Qi shook his head: "Miss, you misunderstand Yuhu Academy’s rules. Our four great treasures include the Radiance of Thunder Prison. Entry demands heavy costs—even Taoist Palace students save academy points for months…"
Chu Lingluo interrupted with wide-eyed innocence: "Oh? Is it truly that difficult? How many points does it take?"
Her naive purity made Lin Qi internally chuckle at her simplicity. Yet her sisterly demeanor softened him, prompting gentle explanation:
"Maintaining the Radiance of Thunder Prison consumes vast resources. The academy restricts entry—eight hundred points per visit."
He expected this to emphasize the challenge. Instead, Chu Lingluo sighed in relief:
"Phew! You scared me—it’s only eight hundred points!"
"Only?!!"
This statement left Lin Qi stunned, but soon he recalled something and said with a smile,
"You might be mistaken. Our academy points at Yuhu Academy differ from those at Anping Taoist Palace. Here, points are extremely hard to earn…"
Chu Lingluo blinked. "Hard to earn? But when I came here, the Goddess of Life gave me over ten thousand points!"
"Ten thousand?!!"
The outrageous number left both Flower Xingyu and Lin Qi speechless.
Nearby spectators froze momentarily before someone chuckled. "How clueless! Doesn’t she know Anping’s points don’t work here?"
"Yuhu Academy points are legendary! I couldn’t save ten thousand if I tried till graduation!"
"Ten thousand? They couldn’t earn that much even selling everything!"
Familiar with Yuhu’s strict system, everyone around the Radiance of Thunder Prison assumed Chu Lingluo confused the two academies’ point systems.
Their smirks vanished when Chu Lingluo approached the management office with her mother’s card.
The transaction succeeded.
"?!?!"
"Am I hallucinating…?"
"Impossible! Completely impossible!"
"Is this some special privilege for outsiders?"
"The Radiance of Thunder Prison’s too valuable for free access!"
"Where’d she get real Yuhu points?!"
"Focus, people! She actually HAS ten thousand!"
Silence fell. That astronomical number crushed every shred of superiority among the Yuhu students.
Flower Xingyu and Lin Qi felt particularly gut-punched. Their "country bumpkins tour" fantasy shattered – this wasn’t peasants visiting the capital, but an heiress from powerful clans slumming it.
The real shock came when Chu Lingluo skipped back to cling to Mu Lin’s arm. "Mu brother! Let’s use my points together! The Goddess of Life gave me enough for several tries!"
Envious groans surrounded them. Ignoring the crowd, Mu Lin studied the stone tablet beside the prison’s entrance. "Brother Lin, what’s this tablet for?"
Before Lin Qi responded, Yan Yunyu cut in with a smile. "You could ask me, Mu brother. I researched Yuhu Academy thoroughly."
She gestured at the engraved names. "This records top Radiance of Thunder Prison challengers. It’s both honor roll and incentive – making this list earns bonus academy points."
Mu Lin’s eyes sparkled. "Can outsiders qualify?"
"Of course. Yuhu Academy wants to attract talents. We can use most facilities here equally."
"Interesting."
Mu Lin’s interest wasn’t purely financial – his physical weakness needed the Thunder Prison’s tempering. But Yuhu students sneered at his ambition.
"Listing his name? Who does this nobody think he is?"
