And Lin Feng’s refusal made everyone even more astonished.

Huo Yuan is a figure of immense stature, a Holy Level Artifact Refining Saint Master, whose status is at the peak throughout the Ancient Spirit Star River.

To have the courage to refuse Huo Yuan is seen by the crowd as either someone extraordinary or a fool.

But in the eyes of everyone, Lin Feng seemed ordinary, with nothing remarkable.

Lin Feng glanced at Mu Li, a trace of apology and gratitude flashed in his eyes, as he did not expect his actions would be seen as an insult to Mu Li.

However, the other’s assistance made him feel somewhat apologetic.

"You can leave!" Mu Li retracted her Venerable’s pressure and said to Lin Feng with cold clarity.

Lin Feng nodded, cupped his hands in respect, gave Taishi Xuan a glance, and then turned away decisively.

Taishi Xuan did not further trouble Lin Feng, but as he watched Lin Feng’s departing figure, he coldly shouted, "Next time if you dare do this again, I’ll make you regret coming to the Divine Martial Academy!"

Taishi Xuan’s voice, full of arrogance, echoed in Lin Feng’s ears, making him clench his fists tightly.

This person really pushes things too far!

However, given the current situation, Lin Feng could only endure for the time being.

Soon, Lin Feng distanced himself from the square, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

It wasn’t long before Lin Feng returned to his loft, sitting down with a gloomy face.

"Taishi Xuan!" Thinking of the purple-clothed youth from earlier, a flash of strong killing intent burst in Lin Feng’s mind.

However, his current cultivation is too low, possibly no match for the opponent.

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng sighed inwardly, knowing that no matter where he is, strength is essential; without power, anyone would be suppressed, which is the law of this world.

The strong are respected, the weak are like ants!

Then, throwing away the distracting thoughts, Lin Feng began to carefully ponder the knowledge imparted by Mentor Sun today.

He sat like this for three days.

In these three days, not only did Lin Feng thoroughly digest everything Mentor Sun had taught, but he also made a simple plan for the upcoming period.

Firstly, his immediate task is to elevate the level of his Star to the Heavenly Level Ninth Rank, only then can he find a way to evolve his Battle Soul.

In addition, his Immortal Mystical Technique is clearly not suitable for Devouring Stars and needs to comprehend a new Power of Mystical Technique.

He also needs to investigate the matters concerning the Witch Clan and the whereabouts of Wu Tianyu.

This is quite challenging, as the Witch Clan is not based on the Ancient Zhou Star, making it extremely difficult to discover Wu Tianyu’s whereabouts.

After sitting for three days, Lin Feng left the loft again, wandering around the South Garden.

He intended to find Mentor Mu Li.

He wants to enhance his Star, which obviously cannot rely on static cultivation, so he plans to go out to train.

However, he knows nothing about the Divine Martial Academy and the Ancient Zhou Star, nor does he know anyone, so he could only seek out Mu Li.

Mu Li, a mentor of the South Garden, lives there regularly, and after some inquiries, Lin Feng found out the exact location of her residence.

It is worth mentioning that perhaps because of the last incident on the square, Lin Feng’s reputation became notably negative, and it took him asking several people before someone finally told him where Mentor Mu Li lived.

Mu Li’s residence is a quiet courtyard, away from the student dwellings in the South Garden, set in a secluded area.

The courtyard is not large, occupying merely a hundred feet square, yet it’s exquisitely built, and the courtyard walls, made from some unknown material, gleam like emerald, splendid and beautiful.

"What’s the matter?"

Before Lin Feng even reached the main gate of the courtyard, a cool voice reached his ears.

Lin Feng paused upon hearing it, hurriedly cupped his hands towards the building, and said, "Disciple is here, firstly, to thank Mentor Mu Li for the rescue last time, and secondly, to ask the mentor some questions!"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, there was silence from the courtyard.

Squeak!

After a while, the main gate of the courtyard opened, and Mu Li, dressed in white, stepped out.

"No need for thanks, ask your questions," Mu Li’s voice was gentle yet filled with an ethereal quality.

"Oh, disciple wishes to ask if there are any suitable training places in this Divine Martial Academy!" Lin Feng said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Li pondered slightly, then flipped her jade-like hand, and a Jade Scroll appeared in it.

"This is the Divine Martial Record, for you!" Mu Li lightly tossed the Jade Scroll towards Lin Feng.

Such Jade Scrolls are distributed to every newly admitted disciple of the Divine Martial Academy, but since Lin Feng wasn’t admitted through normal recruitment, he did not receive one.

Then, Mu Li turned and returned to the courtyard, and the main gate closed once more.

Lin Feng caught the Jade Scroll and, seeing that the other party was unwilling to chat further, helplessly shook his head.

Then, he began examining the content of the Jade Scroll.

The information contained within the Jade Scroll was vast, including a detailed introduction of the Divine Martial Academy and various places that aid in cultivation.

Lin Feng was overjoyed and returned to his loft with the Jade Scroll.

Afterward, Lin Feng carefully reviewed the Divine Martial Record documented within the Jade Scroll from beginning to end.

The Divine Martial Academy is composed of numerous powerful factions like Red Cloud Cave Heaven, Ziwei Sacred Land, Nine Heavens Sacred Land, Cloud Peak Holy Gate, Taishi Family, and Cangyun Holy Sect.

They only recruit top human clan talents from the Ancient Spirit Star River, and of course, these factions also select formidable talents from their sects to enter the academy for cultivation.

Every disciple entering the academy can only stay for thirty years, after which they must leave to join one of these factions.

If not, it would be considered a betrayal of the Divine Martial Academy, leading to a joint hunt by these factions.

It can be said that betraying the Divine Martial Academy leaves no place to live in the Ancient Spirit Star River.

Of course, if unwilling to join these factions, the other choice is to stay as a mentor within the academy.

However, mentor positions are extremely limited, with only one spot available each year.

The Divine Martial Academy spares no effort in cultivating its disciples, offering all kinds of premier cultivation techniques and martial skills.

Each outer mansion disciple can select an upper-grade Emperor Level cultivation technique, martial technique, and a sword-grade treasure upon entering the academy.

Upon promotion to the Martial Venerate Realm, the disciple receives even more generous rewards and can enter the inner mansion for cultivation, owning a mountain peak.

According to the Divine Martial Record’s introduction, the inner mansion of the Divine Martial Academy is actually inside the Fallen Star, initially wondrous beyond words.

The disciples of the Divine Martial Academy are divided into four levels, from low to high: Outer Mansion Disciple, Inner Mansion Disciple, Saint Heir, and Divine Child.

The Saint Heir is an elite disciple in the inner mansion, indicative of future potential to reach the Martial Saint Realm, a disciple prioritized for cultivation.

Currently, there are only eighteen Saint Heirs in the academy, each one an outstanding individual, unmatched even among ten thousand.

The Divine Child, moreover, is exceptional, indicating a future potential to ascend to the Void God Realm, becoming an unrivaled existence in the vast cosmos.

At present, the Divine Martial Academy has only one supreme Divine Child.

The Divine Child’s status is extremely high, surpassing the majority of mentors in the academy, only slightly reined in by mentors of the Martial Saint Realm like Huo Yuan.

The academy has many places conducive to cultivation, such as Star Cultivation Rooms, Mystical Technique Sacred Mountain, and more.

There are also numerous places suitable for disciple training mentioned in the Divine Martial Record.

"Demon Cloud Sea, Nine Desolate World, Slaughter Mountain...!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, looking at suitable training locations.

His training differs from others; while others seek treasure and adventure, his involves killing, slaying Demon Beasts, then devouring others’ Stars or Beast Souls.

After all, his current training is about enhancing the level of his Star.

Soon, Lin Feng decided on a suitable location, the Demon Cloud Sea.

According to the records, the Demon Cloud Sea is inhabited by an evil race, the Demon Armor Clan.

The Demon Armor Clan is a weaker branch among the many Demon Clans of the Desolate Star Domain, retreating to the Demon Cloud Sea.

Thus, the Demon Cloud Sea naturally becomes an ideal training ground for Outer Mansion Disciples of the Divine Martial Academy.

However, the Demon Cloud Sea is extremely dangerous, and the Academy has a strict requirement that at least three disciples must go together for training to be permitted.
