The external students could also use their tokens to get into the Internal Academy.

But that was only under the premise that they would not disturb the order of the Internal Academy. They were also not permitted to attend lectures given by the presbyters of the Heaven Realm, nor did they have the privilege of entering the Pavilion of Book Collection to read practice books.

These were the rules that must not be violated!

It was midday and the sun was bright.

A fist-sized black cat swaggered into the Internal Academy and came to a relatively quiet place.

It looked just like an ordinary cat, so no one paid attention to it.

Blackie’s gaze cautiously swept across its surroundings. Pausing its step, it said in a soft voice, “Zhang Ruochen, you can come out now!”

A white halo appeared on The Time and Space Spinel hung around its neck.

A ball of white light shot out of the spinel following a sharp noise. It landed on the ground and turned into a young man in white.

Of course, the young man was none other than Zhang Ruochen.

“Looks like I managed to sneak in without anyone noticing!”

Zhang Ruochen glanced around the place with a hint of smile played across his lips. Then, he took a deep breath.

The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the region started to flow toward him and gathered at the Qi Lake in his glabella.

“The Internal Academy is true to its name. Compared to the Western Campus, the Spiritual Qi here is three times stronger.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were filled with excitement. He was hoping to break through the Earth Realm as soon as possible and become an internal student.

In fact, he could reach the Earth Realm right away if he wanted to. But his goal was the Ultimate Realm of the Black Realm. So, he had to suppress his desire for reaching higher realms.

“Even the weakest student in the Internal Academy has reached the Earth Realm. Anyone who goes out from here will be considered a top warrior in the Martial World. And of course, every force will try to draw them over.”

Those who could become Internal students of the School of the Martial Market were all first-class geniuses. Almost every one of them could fight with warriors from a higher realm.

There were also some students like Xun Guihai who could even fight against warriors who were two realms higher.

For those warriors from Yunwu Commandery, the Internal Academy was regarded as the Holy Land of martial arts. Everyone was looking forward to getting into this cradle of martial arts.

Zhang Ruochen obviously came to the Internal Academy with a purpose. He headed straight for Mount Saint Crossing.

Mount Saint Crossing was one of the most important practice spots in the Internal Academy. There was a Spiritual Crystal Mine in the mountain. It was where the rich Spiritual Qi came from.

In other words, the Spiritual Crystal Mine was the foundation of the School of the Martial Market.

In Mount Saint Crossing, there were dozens of Secret Rooms for practice.

Every single Secret Room was different; some were “Blazed Flame Secret Room” and some were “Ice Secret Room”. There were also “Thunder Secret Room” and “Secret Room in Hell”.

Zhang Ruochen came to Mount Saint Crossing because he wanted to use the “Hurricane Secret Room”. The special environment of the Secret Room would help speed up his practice of Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon.

“This is Mount Saint Crossing! Off limits to all unauthorized personnel!”

Zhang Ruochen made his way to Mount Saint Crossing’s gate. He was about to enter the mountain when two imposing internal students stepped out, blocking his way from both sides.

One of them named Huo Sheng, who was about 30 years old and had a goatee. With an air of superiority, he took a quick glance at Zhang Ruochen and asked, “Who are you?”

There were not many internal students in the School of the Martial Market. Almost every student was known by everyone.

They naturally would not allow Zhang Ruochen to enter Mount Saint Crossing since they had never seen him before.

Zhang Ruochen took out his token and answered, “I am an external student of the School of the Martial Market.”

“An external student?”

They looked at Zhang Ruochen with a scrutinizing glance from head to toes before replying coldly, “This is not where you should be. Leave now, or we’ll make you leave.”

The two internal students, Huo Sheng and Zhao Minggong, were both in the Mid Stage of the Earth Realm. In other words, they were both masters of Martial Arts, and naturally, they would hold an external student of the Black Realm in contempt.

Zhang Ruochen put the token away and said patiently, “As far as I know, external students also have the right to enter Mount Saint Crossing for practice. So why won’t you let me in?”

The two internal students burst into laughter.

Zhao Minggong replied, “Yes, we do have this rule. But only the external students who rank top three in the four campuses have the right you mentioned. If you are one of them, we can let you in right away. If you are not, you will be treated as a troublemaker and will be shown no mercy. The School of the Martial Market won’t punish us even if we kill you.”

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was just a young man under the age of 20, of course, they would not believe he would be one of the top three geniuses in the four campuses.

At that moment, a graceful lady walked out from the Mount Saint Crossing.

She said from afar, “You two are a little too ignorant. Don’t you know that he is the No.1 genius of the Western Campus?”

That lady’s voice caught the two internal students off-guard. They quickly turned around and saluted to her. “Greetings, senior sister apprentice Chen!” they said in unison.

Zhang Ruochen did not expect anyone here would know him. Looking at that lady, he could not help but feel a little stunned by her
