Wang Li passed the test of Master Ling, so he was naturally taken by Master Ling to go through the admission procedures. The admission procedures were not complicated. Wang Li's information was put into the file and the registration was completed.
The key issue was the tuition fee. Elder Ling personally introduced Wang Li and said calmly:
"The basic tuition for the academy is 24 gold soul coins per year. Accommodation is in a standard eight-person dormitory. The curriculum focuses on martial soul development and combat techniques. You are now soul masters, not soul warriors. If you accidentally cause damage to the academy during combat, you do not have to pay compensation, and it is covered by the tuition."
"For the advanced version, the tuition is 36 gold soul coins per year, and you live in an exquisite four-person room. Everything else is the same, but you can go to the cafeteria to get a bowl of medicinal soup every three days."
"For the top-of-the-line version, the tuition is 48 gold soul coins a year, and you live in a deluxe double room. Everything else is the same, and you can enjoy a medicinal bath in the bathhouse every three days."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li quickly realized that the biggest difference between the three versions of the tuition was the medicinal soup and medicinal bath. He asked curiously:
"Master Ling, what are the effects of this medicinal soup and medicinal bath?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ling looked at Wang Li in particular, and then explained:
"Among the students in the academy, the oldest are only in their teens. Even someone like you isn't even ten yet, not yet an adult. Your body is still developing. A lot of fighting can easily leave you with hidden injuries, and if they accumulate, it can easily lead to hidden illnesses."
"When you're young, it's not a problem. But once you're past your prime, it will become a bottleneck, preventing you from making any further progress. These medicinal soups and medicinal baths can relax your muscles and joints, and nourish your bones."
"For a soul master's cultivation, the academy is only the beginning. Cultivation is something that runs through a soul master's life. When laying the foundation, there can be no negligence."
"The effects of medicinal soups and medicinal baths are naturally very different. Medicinal soups can relax the muscles and tendons, while medicinal baths can truly nourish the bones."
After hearing this, Wang Li was quite shocked. On the one hand, the improvement of the educational concept of the Intermediate Soul Master Academy was one thing, but on the other hand, forty-eight gold soul coins a year was simply an astronomical figure for him. His current monthly subsidy was one gold soul coin, and he had to go without food and drink for two years to get enough of the basic tuition for one year, and four years to get enough of the top-level tuition for one year.
Wang Li's mouth twitched. If he was not just a soul master now, not a great soul master, he would have dropped out of school and gone to the great soul fighting arena to fight souls. He could gain experience and make money at the same time.
But on second thought, the Shrek Academy, hidden in a small village south of Soto City, has a registration fee of ten gold soul coins and a year's tuition of one hundred gold soul coins, which easily takes away a great soul master's annual subsidy.
In comparison, Lega Academy is truly conscientious. Martial soul development, combat skills, medicinal soups, medicinal baths... it only costs forty-eight gold soul coins a year.
But he couldn't take out the forty-eight gold soul coins now. After thinking about it, he could only rub his hands and then said shamelessly and sincerely:
"Mr. Ling... um... can we pay tuition in installments?"
Elder Ling reacted quite calmly. He certainly knew that not every student's family was so wealthy, but as long as they became soul masters, they would have no shortage of ways to make money, so paying tuition in installments was indeed possible.
As for not paying back the money, if you really think that their academy's foreign affairs department is only responsible for helping students hunt spirit rings, the foreign affairs department is responsible for a wide range of business.
Even if I work in a foreign affairs department after graduation, I can pay off my tuition in just a few years.
At this time, Ling Lao smiled and said meaningfully:
"I can pay the tuition in installments, but you don't need to pay in installments. I personally recruited a talented freshman and can give you a place with all tuition and miscellaneous fees waived. You just need to practice hard and don't waste your talent. I am looking forward to what level you will reach by the time you graduate."
Hearing this, Wang Li was very surprised at first, and then he felt that Mr. Ling was worthy of being the director of the Internal Affairs Department. He had a good grasp of the human relationships and worldly affairs.
Then he could not be vague and said without hesitation:
"Thank you, Master Ling, and thank you to the academy. I will definitely practice hard and live up to your expectations."
Ling Lao said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, let's go get the school uniforms first, then arrange the dormitory, and then you can get familiar with the campus today."
How do you build connections in the academy? How do you build connections in the academy?
In the world of soul masters, one hundred ordinary students are not as good as one genius student.
Just like at Notting College, students who did not meet the graduation standards would be persuaded to drop out, but students who met the graduation standards would be given the opportunity to hunt for spirit rings and be recommended to the academy, which could be said to be a great deal of care.
Liejia Academy also gives preferential treatment to geniuses. Old Ling has good vision. In his opinion, Wang Li has good talent, but his martial soul is a little lacking. As long as he can break through the bottleneck of level 30, his future training will be smooth sailing.
When you are in your thirties or forties, it is very likely that you will break through to the same Soul King level as the dean. At that time, this friendship will be valuable, and the price will only be a few hundred gold soul coins.
Following Master Ling, Wang Li received two sets of school uniforms belonging to him. They were red and white and looked very good. They were the kind of tight-fitting uniforms suitable for combat. The material was also very high-end, smooth to the touch, very soft, and very strong.
He immediately went to the dormitory building and registered on the first floor. Under the arrangement of Mr. Ling, Wang Li's dormitory was one of the most luxurious rooms on the top floor.
Arriving at the sixth floor and finding dormitory 603, Mr. Ling pushed open the door and Wang Li saw the clean floor. Sunlight shone in through the window and there was no dust at all.
Elder Ling walked in first and invited Wang Li in as well. He introduced:
"The dormitories will be cleaned regularly, so you don't have to worry about that. The toilets are over here, and there's a balcony over there. All the furniture here is custom-made. Damage to the academy caused by fighting witnessed by teachers doesn't require compensation. However, intentional damage to academy property in the dormitories or elsewhere will result in full compensation. Please be mindful of this in the future..."
Wang Li looked at the dormitory. From the bed to the table and chairs, everything was spotless. The wooden furniture was even painted. It could be said to be quite luxurious.
At this time, Mr. Ling said a few words:
"The next two months will be the academy's holiday, which is a good opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the academy and the city. Of course, if you want to go home, you can do that too. Just remember to come back before school starts. After school starts, you'll be divided into classes, and once you're divided into classes, you'll have to devote yourself to your studies."
"The teachers at the academy will provide professional guidance based on your martial souls and soul skills. They will decide whether to go for a strong attack system, agile attack system, control system, or support system... However, judging by your performance in battle, you have made reasonable use of your martial souls and soul skills. Paired with a strong attack system and agile attack system, you will form a very powerful team."
