"Black-rank disciple?"

Lin Shen had just reported to the academy today, so he was a new student. Please visit 𝗳re𝚎𝚠𝐞𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝗲l. c૦𝓶

But how could a new student be a Black-rank disciple?

Tao wondered if he had heard it correctly.

"Yes, he's a Black-rank disciple!"

Kou Ming chuckled, clearly very satisfied with Tao's astonishment.

"Junior Brother Lin defeated the senior students in the guided battle and performed exceptionally well. Master Si personally ordered him to be promoted to a Black-rank disciple!"

Tao was immediately filled with deep veneration. When he looked at Lin Shen again, his expression was already fawning and solicitous.

The genius that Master Si valued would definitely have a bright future.

He couldn't be neglected!

"Nice to meet you. My name is Tao Zongbao. You can call me Old Tao!"

"Nice to meet you. Just call me Lin Shen." Lin Shen cupped his hands.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kou Ming went straight to the point.

"Tao, I brought Junior Brother Lin here to collect his identity token and Daoist robe. In addition, Junior Brother Lin has already advanced to the Long Breath Stage, so bring him a Golden Crow Scripture while you're at it."

Tao Zongbao almost bit his tongue when he heard this. He couldn't help but swallow.

A Long Breath Stage new student!

Gosh! no wonder Master Si personally ordered him to be promoted to a Black-rank disciple!

He was so talented!

Thinking of this, Tao Zongbao didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately asked someone to bring the things over.

Not long after.

Three sets of Daoist robes, an identity token of unknown material, a jade talisman the size of a finger, and a blue secret manual with the words "Golden Crow Scripture" written on the front was handed to Lin Shen.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, your three minor merits have been distributed this month. With your identity token, you can go to the Merit Hall to exchange for cultivation resources at any time.

"Also, this is the token of Teaching Room C171. Only by holding this token can you open the Teaching Room. I've already arranged for someone to clean it. There are all the furniture and supplies inside.

"If you need anything else in the future, feel free to come to me. I'll do everything in my power to help you!" Tao Zongbao patted his chest and smiled.

Lin Shen thanked him and put everything away.

After walking out of the Internal Affairs Department, Kou Ming smiled and said,

"Tao is a deacon of the Internal Affairs Department. Although he doesn't have a high status, he's been with the academy for a long time and has a lot of connections. He can't resolve big matters, but he's the man to go to for minor issues. In the future, if you encounter any difficulty in the future, you can look for his help."

Lin Shen's heart skipped a beat. He nodded calmly and smiled. "I understand."

"Alright, my mission is completed. I won't disturb you anymore."

At this point, Kou Ming hesitated and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Junior Brother Lin, let me remind you. The academy's rank challenge is held every three months, and the last one ended five days ago. There are less than three months left until the next one.

"With your current situation, many people must be onto you. They're waiting for the rank challenge to replace you as a Black-rank disciple. You have to be prepared!"

Lin Shen's expression turned serious as he nodded solemnly.

"I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother!"

Kou Ming patted Lin Shen's shoulder and left without saying anything else.

He reminded Lin Shen mainly because he valued Lin Shen's potential and wanted to give him a good impression in advance.

Of course, more importantly, as a Black-rank disciple, Lin Shen's existence did not affect his interests. In fact, it was beneficial to him.

As long as Lin Shen was around, most of the Yellow-rank disciples would definitely come after him. In three months, there would be fewer people challenging Kou Ming.

After watching Kou Ming leave, Lin Shen left the Internal Affairs Department.

He didn't go to Teaching Room C-171 immediately. Instead, he returned the way he came and arrived at the Merit Hall.

In the Mission Hall.

Lin Shen slowly moved between the shelves, his gaze quickly sweeping across the wooden tablets.

Not long after.

He found his target.

"Collecting black iron of a purity of at least 95%. Reward: 2 merit points/kg!"

As expected!

A look of joy appeared on Lin Shen's face. He flipped his wrist, and something appeared in his palm.

It was the black iron he had won from Qiao He!
