Chapter 4093: Tan Fei

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Junior brother, you can live here or you can go back to the Inner Palace faction,” Yang Yu Chen said after completing the admission procedures with Duan Ling Tian. He brought him to the student dormitory that occupied a large place.

There were different kinds of student dormitories. Some were shared dormitories. There were also some that were courtyards with a few floors with one student occupying each floor. The best dormitory was small exclusive courtyards that only housed one student while the most common one was shared dormitories.

Yang Yu Chen arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in the most common dormitory. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian might not necessarily stay in the dormitory even if he arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in the nicest dormitory. Even if Duan Ling Tian did stay in the dormitory, it would not be for long. After all, the independent realm where the Inner Palace faction was located had a much better environment. This was because the founder of the Inner Palace faction had taken half of a divine crystal vein from a supreme-rank force and placed it in the independent realm in the past.

Duan Ling Tian thought about the dormitory room that Yang Yu Chen arranged for him. He was not dissatisfied with the arrangement since he knew he could change it at any time if he had enough divine crystals. Now that everything was done, he could not help but ask, “Third Senior Brother, when will you let me enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic?”

“‘Why are you in such a hurry?” Yang Yu Chen smiled and said, “Since I’ve given you my word, I naturally won’t go back on it. I’ll let you in after a year. Before that, I’ll check and see if the energy in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic is stable. Although the relic is left behind by a supreme powerhouse, it still depends on us to maintain it with our energy. Otherwise, it would have disappeared long ago due to the excessive consumption of energy.”

!!

‘After a year?’

Although Duan Ling Tian felt slightly dissatisfied upon hearing this, he did not say much. After all, a year was truly not a long time. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “I understand, Third Senior Brother. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”

Yang Yu Chen nodded before he said, “Alright. If any students break the rules and bully you, remember to reach out to me.”

In fact, Yang Yu Chen’s words were only perfunctory. He knew very well that few people in the Myriad Laws Academy would dare to look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian since news of Duan Ling Tian being his junior brother had spread.

After Yang Yu Chen left, Duan Ling Tian brought out the key he had been given during the admission process and glanced at it. The words ‘Building 2, No. 603’ were engraved on the key. This was the dormitory room assigned to him.

Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian arrived in front of a building. A stone table with the words ‘Building 2’ hovered in the air. His eyes soon shifted to the sixth floor and a room with the number 603.

‘It’s a little like the dormitories in the university back on Earth in my previous life…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. In his previous life, he had never attended a university, and it was one of the things he regretted in life.

After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian went to his room. He inserted the key and opened the door. The room was neither big nor small. An ordinary bed was placed in the room. It was clean and tidy. Clearly, someone had tidied up the place.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to enter the room, someone said, “Brother, are you new here?”

The speaker had just walked out of room 602. He was an honest-looking young man with a muscular body. He was almost two meters tall, half a head taller than Duan Ling Tian. He smiled as he continued to say, “My name is Tan Fei, and I live next door to you. We’ll be neighbors from now on.”

Tan Fei was very friendly. His actions and words were not pretentious at all.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod before he walked into the room and closed the door behind him. He was not interested in getting to know anyone at this time. Even if he did, the relationship would be superficial. If he somehow forged a deep relationship with the other party, he might implicate the other party in the future. It was not impossible for his enemies to use his friends to threaten him after all.

When Duan Ling Tian was in the Pure Yang Sect, he learned about the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s ruthlessness. It reminded him that having friends was not necessarily a good thing. He would only put his friends at risk.



Meanwhile, Tan Fei frowned slightly. “Duan Ling Tian? Why does this name sound so familiar? Anyway, this guy is quite arrogant. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he’s one of those who live in an exclusive courtyard.”

Those who lived in exclusive courtyards had good backgrounds or were exceptionally strong. These people did not lack divine crystals so how could they live in the most common dormitory?

Tan Fei shook his head and no longer dwelled on this matter. After all, he had matters to attend to. When he left his room earlier, he was about to leave to do something. He did not come out specifically to greet his new neighbor.

‘Although my background andstrength are only ordinary, I won’t bother befriending someone so arrogant,’ Tan Fei thought to himself.



Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of Tan Fei’s thoughts. After entering the room, he brought a Formation compass out and activated it. Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed and thought about his day. In fact, he was mostly thinking about Lang Chun Yuan, his Fourth Senior Sister.

Lang Chun Yuan looked like she was 15 or 16 years old, and she seemed harmless. However, she was in fact quite ruthless. However, for now, her attitude toward Duan Ling Tian was not bad.

‘I think I should avoid going to the Inner Palace faction for now. She seems very interested in me. If she keeps staring at me, it won’t be convenient for me to cultivate…’

Under normal circumstances, if Formations were activated, indicating that someone was cultivating, most people would tacitly stay away to avoid disturbing the other party’s cultivation. However, Duan Ling Tian felt that Lang Chun Yuan was not someone who followed the rules.



After leaving the dormitory, Tan Fei went to the Myriad Laws Market, the trading place in the Myriad Laws Academy. He wanted to buy some divine pills to help with his cultivation. As soon as he arrived, he heard many people discussing the new student whom the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy personally recruited.

“Vice Academy Master Yang personally recruited him? In the history of our academy, there’s no precedent for this, right?”

“What kind of person is he? Is he so great that even Vice Academy Master Yang personally recruited him?”

Tan Fei was a little surprised and envious when he heard the discussion in his surroundings. Someone who was personally recruited by the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy would definitely receive special treatment. Even an exclusive courtyard was not good enough for someone like that.

Tan Fei could not help but sigh when he thought about his own dormitory room. Truly, comparison was a thief of joy. Nonetheless, he knew that the other party had to be extraordinary to receive such treatment. How could he compare to someone like that?

In the beginning, Tan Fei only heard about the new student whom Yang Yu Chen recruited. He was stunned when he finally heard the name of the new student.

‘Duan Ling Tian?’ Tan Fei’s eyes widened in disbelief as he thought to himself, ‘Is he that new guy I met earlier?! The guy from room 603?! Vice Academy Master Yang personally recruited him, but he’s staying in a shared dormitory? Is this a joke? Does he plan to experience the suffering of common people, or does he plan to climb his way up? Hmmm, no wonder I found his name familiar. As it turns out, he’s the prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect in one of the Seven Mansions, the champion of the Seven Mansions Feast. He’s not even 3,000 years old, but he’s an intermediate Lord of Gods and has already comprehended the Sword Dao. His comprehension of the law of space is very profound as well since he managed to comprehend the Double Teleportation Profundity.’

The more Tan Fei thought about it, the more shocked he became.

‘Such an amazing figure lives next to me… Is this fate? If I manage to successfully curry favor with him, I’ll probably save myself 30 years of struggles, right?’

At this time, Tan Fei seemed to have forgotten his earlier thought about not befriending Duan Ling Tian due to his arrogance.

‘This is great! I wonder if Duan Ling Tian has chosen which department to join. I don’t think he’s chosen since he just arrived today,’ Tan Fei thought to himself excitedly.

There were a few departments in the Myriad Laws Academy. There was the War Department, the Divine Technique Department, the Alchemy Department, the Divine Artifact Department, and the Divine Botanical Department.

The War Department focused on strength.

The Divine Technique Department focused on the study of cultivation methods and techniques. Some people from this department even managed to comprehend one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth and gained impressive strength.

As for the Alchemy Department and the Divine Artifact Department, as their names suggested, they focused on the study of alchemy and divine artifacts.

Finally, the Divine Botanical Department focused on the study and hybridization of various botany. Their research included the study of producing rare hybrid divine fruits and such.

Regardless of the department, needless to say, except for a rare few, the priority was still cultivation. After all, with the Heavenly Tribulation looming above them, no one dared to neglect their cultivation. It did not matter if they were not Kings of Gods, but once they became Kings of Gods, they would have to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation every 1,000 years.

Meanwhile, Tan Fei’s eyes shone brightly as he continued to speculate inwardly, “It’s likely that he’ll enter the War Department. A combat genius like him should place a lot of importance on his strength. However, there were rumors that he’s also skilled in refining divine pills and that he can also refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. I wonder if there’s any truth to the rumors…’

Tan Fei was truly excited that his new neighbor was Duan Ling Tian. As the saying went, ‘A distant relative isn’t as useful as one’s neighbor’.

‘I have to befriend him! A chance to befriend such an amazing person is hard to come by after all. If he gives me even a little guidance, it’ll be enough to last me a lifetime.’
