After a night's rest, Yi Yun immediately left the city and walked towards Tianfeng Academy early the next morning.
In the early morning, the morning fog was misty, and the stone steps in front of Tianfeng Academy gradually became clear in Yi Yun's eyes.
Like Tianfeng City, Tianfeng Academy is also the oldest magic and martial arts academy in the Qiwu Empire. It is said that this academy existed first before the Tianfeng City was later established.
Over the course of thousands of years, countless strong men have come out of here.
Tianfeng College is located thirty miles outside Tianfeng City, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres. It is built next to a large mountain and lake. The mountain mist lingers all year round, giving it a somewhat mysterious atmosphere from a distance.
"Why don't every college just be built in or next to a big city, but have to be dozens of miles away from the city?"
Yi Yun inquired about Tianfeng Academy yesterday and learned that no academy in the empire was built in a big city, which puzzled him.
"Because the academy is here for students to learn rather than enjoy. There are too many temptations in big cities, they are too complicated, and there are various political factors. It is not good for those who want to devote themselves to cultivation." Monroe said.
After listening to this, Yi Yun immediately thought of the comfort and leisure in the city. Such a colorful environment would indeed make people relax.
Monroe paused and then explained: "There is another reason. The academy is usually located outside the imperial political circle. Its duty is to provide talents for the empire and is not allowed to interfere in politics. Its status is also quite lofty, and each one
The dean of the academy is also a top expert in the empire, and no city manager can afford it, so it is impossible for the academy to be built in the city."
Walking up the steps paved with bluestone, Yi Yun counted as he walked. When he reached the top, he had reached the number of six hundred, and the gate of the academy appeared in front of him.
"The college built on the mountain is really strange. There are 600 stone steps, which go from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. It is only the entrance to the college." Yi Yun admired in his heart.
Seeing an outsider suddenly coming to the entrance of the college, the guard standing guard came over immediately.
Yi Yun casually took out five gold coins, explained his purpose, and then walked towards Tianfeng Academy under the leadership of a guard.
Tianfeng College has a rule that is different from other colleges, that is, its library can be entered by everyone, even if you are not a student of the college, as long as you can afford the price of five gold coins a day.
Five gold coins are expensive, and using them to enter the library for a day is simply not something ordinary people can afford.
Of course, Yi Yun also thinks this is a bit outrageous, and it can be said that he is basically robbing money. But he lacks everything now, except for gold coins. Spending some money to see whether Tianfeng Academy's library is worthy of its name is not for him.
It's worth it.
"It's not cheap to enter the library. Do people come here in normal times?" Yi Yun asked the guard leading the way.
"Those who come to this library and can afford to spend the money are usually teachers and deans from other colleges, as well as powerful people from all over the empire, or people who come from other countries on a special trip."
The leading guard turned around and replied.
"Most of the people who come to see the collection of books here are older people. There are very few people as young as you. Are you a student from another college?"
The guard appeared to be very young, probably in his early twenties.
Yi Yun smiled and said, "I was a student of Donica College and graduated more than a year ago."
"Donica College?" He had obviously never heard of this college.
"It's a junior college." Yi Yun added.
"That's it." The guard nodded and smiled.
The Qiwu Empire has a population of more than 2 billion, and there are thousands of junior colleges in the country. Therefore, most people do not know the names of other junior colleges except the college they attend.
Only colleges and universities can be widely known. For example, Qiwu Wangjia College or Tianfeng College are both colleges and universities.
"In this case, if you have reached a four-star warrior or a four-star mage, you can also apply for our Tianfeng Academy. As long as you can become a student here, the library is free and open to students, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to enter the library.
From the library.”
It was obvious that the five gold coins he offered for Yi Yun were not worth it.
"Thank you for the reminder, but the college I want to apply for is Qiwu Royal Academy." Yi Yun smiled.
"Qiwu Academy? It's not easy to get into! Moreover, the academic style of that academy is strict and adopts the law of the jungle. I heard that as long as you fail the assessment for two consecutive years, you will be expelled immediately. It is difficult to enter this academy, but you must learn from the academy
Graduation is harder.”
Expelled from school? Yi Yun never thought that such a thing would happen.
"So, what about Tianfeng Academy?"
"The style of study in our college is relatively free. We rarely force students to achieve limited goals within a limited time. The purpose of the college is: let nature take its course and demand yourself. But there is still a limit. If you don't have the strength for three years,
If you make any progress, you will still be kicked out of the academy, but this situation is rare."
Yi Yun secretly compared the differences between the two colleges and felt that although Tianfeng College's approach was more relaxed, it also gave students more space. Compared with Qiwu College's dogmatic and rigid rules, where everything was decided only by grades, Tianfeng College's approach was more relaxed.
The teaching policy may be more in line with his temperament.
Monroe suddenly spoke at this time: "Both approaches are correct! The policy of Qiwu Academy is to let students grow under pressure. If they can't do it, they will be expelled. This will create more strong people, and Tianfeng
The academy gives students a space for self-exploration, allowing them to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of their own skills. Although the number of strong people that can be created is limited, students have greater opportunities to improve and improve their own skills, and even create new ones.
Or the cultivation system."
Munro’s vision was so sharp that he really hit the nail on the head!
The reason why Qiwu Royal Academy can become the number one academy is because it can cultivate the most six-star and above strong men.
In the past thousand years, among the outstanding people in the empire who could improve the original skills or put forward refreshing cultivation theories, Tianfeng Academy alone has managed 60% of these people.
.
The extraordinary achievements of Tianfeng College have a lot to do with its free and unrestrained style of study that does not set limits for students.
"So, if you are interested in the collection of books here, you can read them slowly after you are admitted to the academy. There are millions of books in the library, and you can't finish them all in many years." He was still advocating Yi.
Yun joins Tianfeng Academy.
"A million copies?" Yi Yun was shocked, a little in disbelief.
When Yi Yun was still at Donika College, his collection of books only amounted to a few thousand volumes. The number of these millions is far more than a thousand times.
"That's right! Even the students of Tianfeng Academy have never been able to read all the books in the library."
Yi Yun suddenly remembered the news he had learned yesterday. All the successive deans of Tianfeng College were bookworms. Therefore, from generation to generation, the size of the library became larger and larger, and now it has become the most eye-catching one in the college.
’s sign.
"I finally understand why you keep persuading me to join Tianfeng Academy. If I hold gold coins to read books every day, when will I be able to read through a collection of millions of books? No matter how rich I am, I can't afford such consumption!
"Yi Yun said with a bitter smile.
Soon after, after crossing a square platform and walking up more than ten steps, a large and simple stone academy stood in front of us.
It occupies the entire hilltop, with a natural lake next to it and rows of phoenix trees growing around it. It is a simple and ancient place with wonderful scenery.
Monroe looked at the wonderful scene in front of him and said in admiration: "Looking at this kind of pomp, I'm afraid it's true that there are millions of books. Boy, do you have the urge to join this college?"
Yi Yun smiled calmly when he heard this: "It's true that I appreciate Tianfeng Academy more. However, my goal has never changed. Qiwu Academy with countless strong people is still my only choice!"
