138 Newbie, Yousre Still Too Inexperienced (1/2)

Wang Baole was standing on the cruiser, swishing through the skies, riding in the wind as he dashed directly to Upper Academy Island. He was extremely delighted—not only did Zhou Xiaoya gain admission to Upper Academy Island, she was also formally the disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion Elder. The entire matter could be considered to have concluded well.

Clearing his throat, Wang Baole thought, In this whole incident, I played a significant role. Thanks to my courage and fearlessness toward the evil forces that allowed me to create chaos by using the opportunity to hit Gao Quan, victory was attained in the process. This allowed Bunny to have an unobstructed path to success.

This irritating fatty would never admit that even if he did not appear this time round, the outcome would like have been the same for Bunny. Now, he was in high spirits as he took up a bag of snacks while on the cruiser, munching on them loudly while controlling the cruiser.

The ability to fly the cruiser and eat snacks at the same time… This capability is not something that everyone has! Wang Baole laughed heartily. Soon, the cruiser has passed through the clouds and arrived at Upper Academy Island.

Du Min is in the Alchemy Pavilion as well. Even though I haven't seen her much since coming to Upper Academy Island, it's not surprising if she is doing well, since she has always excelled academically. There's also Chen Ziheng, who is in the Combat Pavilion with Zhuo Yifan… I have to work hard and not let them surpass me.

Thinking of this, Wang Baole inhaled deeply. He did not return to the cave abode. Instead, his gaze was on the middle peak, looking in the northern direction toward the mountains that housed the Dharmic Armament Pavilion.

Wang Baole had already read up on the details of the Armament Disciple assessment on the Spirit Intranet and understood that the assessment of Dharmic Armament Pavilion disciples took place on the Northern Mountain Range, where a Military Administrative Department oversaw the advancement assessment of disciples to Armament Disciples. However, if a disciple successfully refined a hundred perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts, they could also send the Dharmic Artifacts for assessment in order to receive their Armament Disciple status.

I will advance to become an Armament Disciple, then choose a department to perform my duties! Wang Baole's eyes was fueled with passion as he controlled the cruiser straight toward the Northern Mountain Range. On his way, as he passed the middle peak, he noticed that on the parade square lay a huge military drum standing tall. It was dull red in color and was eye-catching because of its rustic look.

That is probably the drum that people on the Spirit Intranet have mentioned, huh?

Wang Baole was tempted as his eyes fell momentarily on the huge military drum. He had read entries introducing the drum on the Spirit Intranet. It was said that it was a military drum that could only be struck by an Armament Soldier, and it had only one purpose—invite an Elder!

Whatever difficult problems arose regarding Dharmic Armaments, so long as the Armament Soldier was capable, they could strike the military drum, using its sound to invite an Elder for advice on the solution.

However, even though the drum has been installed for many years, it had not been struck often. If there were no real challenging problems that were difficult to solve, no one would dare haphazardly strike it to disturb the Elders. On the other hand, there was no drumstick for the drum. Anyone who wished to strike it had to make use of the materials given by the military drum and refine a drumstick, which could only be used once, right there and then in front of the drum.

Only when an Armament Soldier held a drumstick that they had personally refined could they strike the military drum to invite an Elder.

Even though the method of refining the drumstick was stated right beside the military drum, it was an extremely difficult feat. To a certain extent, it was not considered a Numinous Treasure. Furthermore, every Armament Soldier only had one chance in their entire lifetime. If they failed, they lost their eligibility, and thus, no one dared to squander the opportunity willy-nilly.

Wang Baole had read on the Spirit Intranet that the student who had managed to strike the drum the greatest number of times had done it five times using the drumstick that he had refined. That far exceeded that of other people, and as a result, the Elder that he had invited to grant assistance on his problem was no ordinary Elder but the Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion!

Every Grand Elder possesses incredibly high status within their respective pavilions. Only the Deputy Sect Lord and Sect Lord are ranked above the Grand Elder, with the Grand Supreme Elder being at the top of the hierarchy!

Even though Wang Baole had spent most of his time in seclusion after entering Upper Academy Island, his understanding of the structure of Ethereal Dao College had grown significantly from the times when he was on the Lower Academy Island.

He already understood that the one with the highest authority in Ethereal Dao College was the mysterious Grand Supreme Elder. He was never seen in Ethereal Dao College, but his existence was akin to an anchor, the assurance of everyone in Ethereal Dao College and the status of the Federation!

The Grand Supreme Elder's subordinates included Ethereal Dao College's sect lord and the three deputy sect lords. Below them were ten pavilions and a college. The ten pavilions were referring to the island pavilions on Upper Academy Island, which included the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, and the college was referring to the Lower Academy Island!

Within every pavilion, the Pavilion Head was obviously the person-in-command. However, in reality, there were still numerous elders above the Pavilion Head as well as the one and only Grand Elder of each pavilion.

These people were not involved in the management of the pavilion. However, they formed the Group of Elders, which had the authority to determine the employment of the Deputy Pavilion Head and the Pavilion Head.
