"Are you saying that I won't be getting any Academic Credits?" Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan was stunned .
"Of course not!" Yuan Hong flung his sleeves in displeasure . "In order to uphold the integrity of the challenge, the Passageway of Records have a system in place to check if there was any cheating involved . Now that the entire place has collapsed, how can we ensure that you didn't use any artifact inside?"
Naturally, the records must be achieved using one's own capability, and the Passageway of Records had several systems in place to allow others to check on how the challenge went . Otherwise, if one was allowed to use artifacts as they pleased during the challenge, it would become a competition of wealth instead of capability, and the concept of challenging records would become meaningless .
However, given that the entire passageway had been reduced to ruins, it would be impossible to ensure the integrity of the challenge . As such, how could they deem whether one had truly broken the record or not?
Furthermore, you caused such devastating damage to the Blacksmith School right after you arrived . I haven't even talked about the reparation costs yet, and here you are asking me for Academic Credits . . . You must be kidding me!
"This . . . " Zhang Xuan was dumbstruck .
He thought that he would be able to obtain Academic Credits since he had already broken the record, but based on the other party's tone, it seemed like it was a hopeless cause .
He had wasted his time this time around .
But at the very least, he did receive something good from the challenge . Not only did he achieved Second Incandescence in the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body, his soul had also successfully surpassed the ten-meters bottleneck .
"Since I won't be getting any Academic Credits from this, I'll challenge the other records then . . . " After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan said .
Since he was already at the Blacksmith School, he should at least return with a 5-star blacksmith emblem . Otherwise, wouldn't this be a wasted trip?
"Challenge what? Look at the state of the Passageway of Records! Do you think that you can still challenge any records?" Luo Yan stood up and roared furiously .
How are you going to challenge the other records when the Passageway of Records is already wrecked!
"Then . . . How can I earn more Academic Credits then?" Zhang Xuan scratched his head .
"The Passageway of Records represents the honor and glory of the Blacksmith School, and yet, you broke it as soon as you arrived . Let me give you a word of advice, don't bother thinking about Academic Credits anymore . Think about how you can compensate for the damages!" Luo Yan gazed at Zhang Xuan in pity .
It took the Celestial Designer School and the Blacksmith School much effort before they managed to craft the Passageway of Records . It had survived the challenge of innumerable students over several millennia, and you destroyed it as soon as you came . . . Instead of thinking about how you can compensate for what you have done, you are still dreaming of obtaining Academic Credits?
You sure are brazen-faced!
"Compensate?" Zhang Xuan's face twitched . After a moment of hesitation, he asked meekly, "How much?"
Hearing those words, Luo Yan turned to his teacher .
As a student, he didn't have the right to dictate the compensation amount .
"The Chamber of Earth Flame is forged more than four thousand years ago by the head of the Blacksmith School and the head of the Celestial Designer School then . Four Earth Flame Hearts and several other valuable materials were used in its construction . Even if we were to take in the depreciation cost due to damages over time, it would still cost at least twenty high-tier spirit stones!"
After a moment of mental calculation, Yuan Hong replied .
In most guilds, there were usually policies that spared geniuses the liability of compensating for the damage they have caused . More often than not, the guild could just report the issue to the headquarter, and the latter would send someone down to repair the relevant facilities .
However, this rule didn't hold in Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy . After all, this place was literally a gathering of geniuses . If everyone were to act negligently and destroy as they pleased, how would the academy continue to function?
Even if they were to sell the principal of the academy away, they still wouldn't be able to bear the cost!
"H-how much did you say? T-twenty high-tier spirit stones?" Zhang Xuan's body swayed weakly, and he nearly spewed blood .
Are you joking with me?
If I have that much spirit stones, why would I even bother going through the trouble earning Academic Credits? I could have just easily bought them off others!
While Academic Credits were indeed valuable, there should be plenty of students who would be willing to sell it to him for high-tier spirit stones .
"Considering that you are a freshman and the matter is an unintentional doing on your part, I can reduce the compensation by half for you . You just have to pay ten high-tier spirit stones!" Hong Yuan said .
"Ten . . . I don't have that much either . " Zhang Xuan shook his head .
All in all, he only had one high-tier spirit stone, and he had obtained it from emerging as the champion of the Master Teacher Tournament . Even if he were to sell all of his possessions, he couldn't possibly fork out ten high-tier spirit stones!
"I know that you don't have that much, so I'll offer you an alternative then . As long as you work for the Blacksmith School for ten years, I'll consider it as you have repaid the debt!" Hong Yuan waved his hands .
High-tier spirit stones were used by Saint realm experts or those attempting a breakthrough to Saint realm, there was no way that a freshman like Zhang Xuan could possibly have any of that . From the very start, Yuan Hong had intended to have Zhang Xuan work to pay off his debt!
It wasn't uncommon for students to work in the schools of the academy . Take the receptionist Li Xuan for example, she was also a student working at the Blacksmith Academy to earn additional Academic Credits .
However, in Zhang Xuan's case, since he had to repay his debt, he wouldn't be receiving any Academic Credits for his effort .
"Ten years of work to repay a debt of ten high-tier spirit stones? That is an extremely good deal!"
"Indeed! High-tier spirit stones are incomparably valuable . Just a single one of them is worth 10,000 middle-tier spirit stones . It sure is kind of Vice School Head Yuan to offer such generous terms!"
"Well, the intention of the punishment is to deter future students who engaging in similar actions . Otherwise, even if he were to work for his entire life, it's questionable whether he can repay the debt of ten high-tier spirit stones!"
. . .
Hearing Yuan Hong's words, the crowd nodded in approval .
To cultivators who possess significantly longer lifespan than an average human, ten year wasn't a long period of time . For an average 4-star master teacher, ten years might not even be enough for them to advance to 5-star .
To wipe off a debt of ten high-tier spirit stones with just ten years of work could already be considered as an extremely lenient term .
"Ten years?"
However, contrary to the response of the crowd, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched upon hearing those words .
It was questionable whether he would even need to stay in this academy for half a year, let alone ten years!
If he were to really spend ten years here, he would have already died from the Innate Fetal Poison before he was freed .
"I can't accept those terms . I don't have the time to do so!" Zhang Xuan shook his head and rejected the offer .
