I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 695: Divine Refining Bureau Gets Official Posts?!

The academic rigor at Shenxiao, Xia's premier academy, places a substantial burden on its students. Their days are typically consumed by arduous dungeon expeditions or the meticulous accumulation of credits, leaving virtually no leisure time for other pursuits. Even the simple act of visiting one's family is considered a rare indulgence.

However, the reappearance of Lin Yi, the academy's laissez-faire director, has become a focal point of considerable interest, compelling even those engrossed in their duties to momentarily set them aside. Encountering Lin Yi is a cherished aspiration for a great many Shenxiao students, a sentiment shared and unquestioned by the academy's faculty.

At the threshold of Shenxiao's teleportation nexus, throngs of students have assembled, eagerly anticipating Lin Yi's arrival. Each individual hopes to etch a memorable impression upon him. This spectacle, however, elicited a considerable jolt of surprise from Zhang Yun, who had just arrived on the scene.

Xiang Wuxing lacks the ostentatious mood enhancers of a kaleidoscope. As the portal of the teleportation device unsealed, and a cascade of various objects hurtled towards her, Zhang Yun, acting on instinct, activated her Source Power to deflect the unforeseen barrage. A fleeting moment of minor awkwardness ensued.

To facilitate Zhang Yun's integration into Shenxiao, Lin Yi and Wanchong Mountain introduced the young woman accompanying them, specifically commending her proficiency in the esoteric Dubhe Strange Scripture. Upon learning that even Lin Yi acknowledged the formidable difficulty in mastering Zhang Yun's unique techniques, the assembled Shenxiao students reacted with wide-eyed fascination. Such an extraordinary technique it must be! For a period, the faculty and students of Shenxiao lavished praise upon Zhang Yun's accomplishments, inducing a sense of mild embarrassment in her.

The unpretentious and polite demeanor of the Shenxiao students, coupled with their sincere ardor, deeply touched Zhang Yun, who found herself far from home. Typically engrossed in the refinement of their own abilities, the Shenxiao students, upon hearing of the establishment of an artificial mountain peak designated as the Dubhe Pavilion, demonstrated remarkable eagerness. They promptly organized to bring forth various provisions and offer their assistance in the construction of the Dubhe Pavilion.

The subsequent day dawned.

At Shenxiao, within the Chiyou Academy, specifically the Divine Refining Bureau. The incessant clang of hammers against metal reverberated without reprieve.

Owing to the prolonged smelting of diverse metallic ores over the years, the ambient temperature within this sector significantly surpasses that of other areas within Shenxiao. While nearly every department in Shenxiao Academy comprises both male and female members, the Divine Refining Bureau stands as a notable exception, boasting no female personnel whatsoever. Within its confines, robust men, their chests bared, vigorously forged implements.

The most highly regarded individual in the Divine Refining Bureau is Sun Dachuan. Prior to his association with Lin Yi, his exceptional blacksmithing acumen had already earned him renown throughout Shenxiao. As a consistent comrade-in-arms with Lin Yi, the resources he gained access to became increasingly abundant, further fueling his advancement during their collaborative ventures. He has now firmly established himself as the de facto leader of the Divine Refining Bureau.

"Brother Dachuan, could you examine this for me? Has it reached the sufficient temperature? If not, I shall apply a few more blows with the hammer."

"Brother Dachuan, kindly take a look. I perceive an increasingly peculiar quality the more I strike it..."

"Brother Dachuan..."

Such a vibrant and interactive atmosphere is a rare sight within Shenxiao. Once admitted to Shenxiao, Xia's preeminent academy, the pressure is undeniably immense. There is simply no alternative, as every individual within the academy is a prodigy, diligently honing their craft in quiet solitude. Even classmates who typically maintain amiable relations often have limited interactions post-task completion. This sort of palpable communal energy is an unprecedented phenomenon, even for Headmaster Laomao.

At times, Laomao muses that even within an institution of higher learning, a greater degree of human warmth ought to be cultivated. Nevertheless, regardless of internal dynamics, even with the abatement of threats from rival nations on Blue Star, certain extraterrestrial entities continue to cast covetous glances towards their world.

"D-D-Dachuan, someone is looking for you."

Moments earlier, the junior attendant who had guided Lin Yi rushed into the forge, interrupting Sun Dachuan mid-explanation as he elucidated forging methodologies to a member of the Divine Refining Bureau. Sun Dachuan found himself somewhat exasperated by the interruption. This young individual, despite years spent within the confines of the Divine Refining Bureau, still exhibited such impetuousness in handling matters?

"Why the haste? This is the Divine Refining Bureau, our sanctuary. There's no call for such rashness. Regardless of who it may be, inform them that if their query pertains to forging or equipment enhancement, they should await me patiently outside. I shall attend to them once my current obligations are fulfilled."

Just as Sun Dachuan concluded his statement, a familiar figure materialized before him, accompanied by a levitating feline companion.

"Brother Dachuan, well, it’s been a while. Are you already this unwelcoming? Are you perhaps displeased that I didn't team up with you for dungeon grinding anymore?" Lin Yi inquired, his voice laced with warmth, addressing Sun Dachuan directly.

The previous evening's assembly saw Lin Yi diligently elaborating on the formidable capabilities of other-dimensional planets to the denizens of Shenxiao, thereby laying the crucial groundwork for the introduction of the Spirit Awakening Stone. It was a necessity, given the finite quantity of Spirit Awakening Stones available. Even the academy's own students were to be precluded from accessing the Inner Court until they attained the status of War Gods. A significantly greater number of qualified individuals required the enhancement of their skill levels.

As a result, Lin Yi found himself compelled to cooperate with Wanchong Mountain, establishing a system for accumulating special credits that would permit earlier access to the Spirit Awakening Stones.

Observing Lin Yi's intense focus during that period, Sun Dachuan, Nangong Ling, and Feng Sanyou had consciously avoided approaching him.

Now, standing before Lin Yi, Sun Dachuan felt a distinct sense of unease.

"No, no, Brother Lin Yi, wait, Mr. Lin! Please, do come in!"

"How could I possibly harbor any ill will? Please, enter. Ah, my apologies, Headmaster, I almost overlooked you. Won't you join us as well?"

Wanchong Mountain thought to himself, 'Goodness me, within Shenxiao Academy, being the headmaster hardly equates to ultimate authority. I'm merely a figurehead, utterly dispensable.'

Lin Yi's arrival caused the members of the Divine Refining Bureau to immediately cease their tasks, respectfully clearing a path for him.

The excursion to Xiang Wuxing this time was not solely for the purpose of obtaining the Dubhe Strange Scripture and the Spirit Awakening Stones.

When the Martial Emperor granted Lin Yi permission to take items from the treasure vault, he did so with an open hand.

While Xiang Wuxing's cultivation methods differ from those on Blue Star, certain resources, such as prime Spirit Crystal ores, are still found there.

Lin Yi amassed a significant quantity of these superior Spirit Crystal ores, with the intention of providing his close companion with the means for a grand confrontation.

"Brothers of the Divine Refining Bureau, are you all struggling with how to earn military merit points to further your cultivation? I, Lin Yi, have discovered a method to acquire connections and resources without putting your lives on the line. I wonder if any of you would be interested?"

Who on Blue Star was unaware of Lin Yi's celebrated entourage, which was known for its abundance of comforts and exhilarating experiences?

If Lin Yi vouched for a method, it was surely a path to prosperity, a veritable divine gift!

Upon hearing Lin Yi's proposition, the assembled brothers of the Divine Refining Bureau widened their eyes, piqued with curiosity.

"Hey, you scoundrel, why not just reveal everything at once?"

Laomao voiced his mild displeasure, casting a glance at Lin Yi.

"Ah, Headmaster, what about your contribution? Had I revealed all the details immediately, wouldn't that leave nothing for you to address? Heh heh, now, let us welcome our most cherished Headmaster, who cares so deeply for all students, to share his wisdom. Let's have some applause!"

Despite his reservations, under the barrage of applause, Laomao could only step forward and speak with a grave expression.
