Chapter 56: Finally Acquired a Cultivation Technique

After arriving at the gate at the foot of the mountain, several people jumped out of the carriage, several teachers took the carriage back to the Stable, and the remaining teachers each returned to their own Dormitory to prepare to rest.

In the end only Li Xuan and Han Lili were left.

"Feiyu, classmate, I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office; it's getting a bit late, we need to hurry to enroll, and then I'll arrange a Dormitory for you, otherwise you'll have to sleep on the street today." Han Lili patted Li Xuan's hair and then joked.

"That's great, then I'll trouble Teacher Han." Li Xuan nodded without hesitation and agreed.

After all, having just arrived at Lanba Academy and being unfamiliar with the place, having someone to guide you can save a lot of trouble.

Han Lili nodded, then led Li Xuan toward the Academic Affairs Office.

"Teacher Han, is the Academic Affairs Office far from here?" Li Xuan scratched his head and asked Han Lili.

"Not really; the faculty building, teaching building, Academic Affairs Office, and library are all on this mountain right in front of us. The Academic Affairs Office is halfway up the mountain, about a half‑hour walk." Han Lili smiled and explained to Li Xuan.

Although Han Lili's looks were average, both her speech and demeanor were poised, inevitably making people feel favorable toward her.

Next, Han Lili led Li Xuan to a mountain path and began climbing upward.

Because the sun had set and the light was fading, Han Lili took a lantern from her Soul Guide Device, held it up, and led Li Xuan upward.

Li Xuan looked at the lantern in surprise; a thought flickered, and an ordinary fireball that gathered golden‑red light appeared above his head, instantly illuminating the path.

"Feiyu, classmate, your control over fire is impressive!" Han Lili's eyes brightened as she said to Li Xuan.

Under normal circumstances, a being at the Soul Master Realm cannot release a fireball that large, let alone control it to hover above one's head.

Since he had just enrolled, Li Xuan wanted to showcase his talent to raise his value in Teacher Han's eyes; that way, he would receive some attention and enjoy slightly higher privileges than other students.

Of course, Li Xuan only displayed his talent, not his full strength, staying within a level that would spark their desire to cultivate him; only then could he stay safe and reap benefits.

Han Lili watched the steadily burning fireball, nodded with satisfaction, and the two climbed the stairs upward under its light.

"Teacher Han, how many Mimetic Cultivation Environments does our academy have, and is there one suitable for my fire attribute Mimetic Cultivation Environment?" Li Xuan felt the air grow heavy, so he proactively asked Teacher Han.

"Of course we have a fire‑attribute Mimetic Cultivation Environment suitable for you. Lanba Academy has twelve Mimetic Cultivation Environments in total; five are relatively large, the remaining seven are smaller and only suit a few martial soul‑type Soul Masters." Han Lili turned around and explained to Li Xuan.

"I see, Teacher. What conditions are required to cultivate in a Mimetic Cultivation Environment?" Li Xuan asked Teacher Han.

"No requirements; the Mimetic Cultivation Environments are free for all students. As long as you don't damage the facilities, you can use them at will; the more people use them, the better the effect. We even encourage students to use them." Han Lili continued.

"So are our library, training grounds, and the like also free to use?" Li Xuan pressed further.

"Of course; after all, we've paid tuition, so the facilities are freely usable. However, there's one point: you may not damage anything; damage must be compensated at full price." Teacher Han looked at Li Xuan with surprise, not quite understanding the meaning of his question.

"Puff!"

The flame above Li Xuan's head extinguished instantly; since no extra points were needed, performing well was of no use.

"What happened?" Han Lili immediately shielded Li Xuan, staring seriously around.

Li Xuan saw that Han Lili, who had protected him at first, also raised an astonished eyebrow. He hadn't expected Lanba Academy's teachers to be so diligent; when danger arose, they even knew to protect the student.

"Teacher Han… my soul power is exhausted." Li Xuan paused, then said awkwardly to Teacher Han.

"Alright then, okay, we're about to arrive soon, just follow me closely." After hearing Li Xuan's words, Teacher Han shook her head helplessly, took out the lantern again, and led Li Xuan toward the Academic Affairs Office.

It's normal for a junior Soul Master to have insufficient soul power in the body, let alone maintaining such a large fireball.

In Teacher Han's eyes, Li Xuan's performance was already quite good.

Relying on the lantern's faint glow, the two ascended the steps and soon reached the Academic Affairs Office situated halfway up the mountain.

The Academic Affairs Office building wasn't tall, only three stories, but it was already night; only a few rooms remained lit, while the others had long since turned off the lights and rested.

"Teacher Shao, are you asleep? A child has enrolled today; I've brought them back. Could you please help assign a Dormitory and hand out the Cultivation Manual and bedding?" Han Lili shouted from outside the Academic Affairs Office toward the inside.

"At this hour of the night, Miss Han, you only know how to trouble an old man like me!" As the gate opened, a white‑haired elder in pajamas stepped out of the Academic Affairs Office, yawning and retorting to Han Lili.

"Shao Bo, this isn't the last student, right? If we handle it quickly, the child can go rest sooner." Han Lili said playfully to Director Shao.

"Hello, youngster, I'm Shao An; just call me Shao Bo. I'm the director of the Academic Affairs Office, responsible for arranging your daily studies. Please hand me your enrollment documents, and I'll assign you a Dormitory." Shao Bo smiled at Li Xuan and said gently.

"Alright, Shao Bo, thank you." Li Xuan nodded, then took the enrollment documents from his bag and handed them to Shao Bo.

After receiving the enrollment documents, Shao Bo looked Li Xuan up and down.

"Fire Department, Building 3, Room 12‑612, Bed 1. The Intermediate Class B has relatively few students, so you'll have a Dormitory to yourself. By the way, there's still a spot in Intermediate Class B, Class Three; go report to that class at the Intermediate Academy tomorrow." After speaking, Shao Bo returned the enrollment documents to Li Xuan, took a key from his Soul Guide Device, and handed it to Li Xuan.

"Thank you, Shao Bo." Li Xuan took the key with both hands and bowed to Shao Bo.

"By the way, this is your Identity Token for after you join Lanba Academy, along with the Cultivation Manual and a set of bedding." Shao Bo looked at Li Xuan, smiled, then took from his Soul Guide Device a palm‑sized square Token, a small blue‑covered booklet, and an ordinary set of bedding.

Li Xuan's gaze instantly focused on the booklet, and he reached out to take the three items from Shao Bo's hand.

However, the item Li Xuan held closest was the blue‑covered booklet.

"Kid, the student Dormitory is at the foot of the mountain, and it's getting late. The Academic Affairs Office has an empty room; stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning you'll be assigned to a class and begin formal studies." Shao Bo smiled and said to Li Xuan.

"Great. Thank you, Shao Bo!" Li Xuan immediately bowed again to Shao Bo.

Then, Shao Bo led Li Xuan to the Second Floor of the Academic Affairs Office, casually found a room for Li Xuan, and left.

After seeing Shao Bo leave, Li Xuan immediately closed the door, carefully inspected the room to ensure there were no traps, then took out a fruit produced by a Starfire Vine and hung it on the wall as a lamp.

Then Li Xuan sat down below and began seriously reading the Cultivation Manual he had just obtained.

Dear readers, today's chapter is an extra update; later, when I'm out on assignments, no worries, I'll compensate you, dear readers (End of chapter).
