Chen Yang meets Tu Qi, a fellow disciple in the third zone, who explains the zone's power structure. A group of disciples, led by Zhou Tiannan, extorts 'quota fees' from students without strong backgrounds. Tu Qi pays the fee, but Zhou Tiannan's group approaches Chen Yang and Tu Qi, implying they will also demand payment.

The person they’re referring to as Brother Heaven is the top name in the third region, Huang Futian!

It’s said that his strength is already very close to the Late-stage Condensation level.

But he’s been holding back, not making any breakthroughs.

If he wanted, he’d have a great chance of entering the second region.

Tu Qi handed over the contribution tokens obediently, and Zhou Tiannan immediately looked toward Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stood expressionlessly, which made Zhou Tiannan somewhat displeased.

Additionally, Chen Yang had recently become a celebrity in the academy, which also displeased him.

He naturally wanted to put a damper on Chen Yang’s "spirit."

"You must be Chen Yang, right?" Zhou Tiannan asked, glaring at Chen Yang with a feigned fierce look.

"That’s me. Do you have something to say?" Chen Yang responded calmly without changing his expression.

"Do you think there’s nothing to say? You saw the rules just now. In the third region, you have to pay ten thousand contribution tokens each month as a quota fee. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Zhou Tiannan didn’t give Chen Yang a chance to reply and continued, "You kid, you’re quite a talent."

"But I have to remind you, this is the third region, not the garbage places like the fourth or fifth regions."

"Here, there are plenty of geniuses. Your little bit of strength is nothing significant. Do you understand?"

"If you want to develop well, you’d better behave. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."

Zhou Tiannan warned with a fierce look.

Chen Yang’s face turned grim, just as he was about to retort, Tu Qi interrupted him.

"Hehe, Brother Nan, I’ve already explained the rules to him. Don’t worry, we won’t cause you any trouble, rest assured." Tu Qi stepped forward, speaking pleasantly.

Zhou Tiannan, seeing this, didn’t say anything more.

"As long as you don’t cause trouble, it’s fine. This month, you replaced Zou Tianming, so technically you should pay ten thousand contribution tokens, but Brother Heaven has a generous heart, knowing you just arrived at the academy."

"So this month you’ll be exempted from it. But starting next month, you’ll have to pay every bit of the contribution tokens, understood?"

Zhou Tiannan said loudly.

"I..."

Chen Yang was about to rebut, but Tu Qi interrupted him again.

He quickly replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, we understand, Brother Nan. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to supervise him."

"Hmm." Zhou Tiannan, seeing someone responded, didn’t pursue Chen Yang for a reply.

"Let’s go."

Having finished his fierce words, he left with his group of underlings.

Leaving behind Tu Qi and Chen Yang.

Watching Zhou Tiannan and the others leave, Tu Qi finally relaxed.

"They’re finally gone."

He let out a sigh of relief, looking relaxed.

He had noticed earlier that Chen Yang was about to counter them hard, so he hurriedly answered on Chen Yang’s behalf.

Afraid of causing trouble.

"Why are you so afraid of them? This is the academy; I don’t believe they can rule everything here." Chen Yang, however, wasn’t tense from start to finish.

He couldn’t stand behaviors like Zhou Tiannan’s and the others.

Bullying the weak, abusing power.

"Bro, you’re really bold, but you have to know when to be. In this academy, people like them really can rule everything." Tu Qi’s forehead started sweating after hearing Chen Yang’s words.

"Take my advice: this isn’t the fourth or fifth region, and the rules are really different. Sometimes it’s okay to take a small loss. After all, ten thousand contribution tokens really isn’t a lot; you’ll understand it later."

Tu Qi didn’t want to argue too much with Chen Yang. After a few reminders, he quickly ended the conversation.

Soon, the Qi-Raising Tower would open.

Many academy members began to enter the Qi-Raising Tower one after another.

"Let’s go, bro, let’s go in together. There are quite a few things to pay attention to inside; let me introduce them to you." Tu Qi said as he saw the Qi-Raising Tower’s door open, intending to take Chen Yang inside with him.

Chen Yang had a good impression of Tu Qi.

This guy was a bit timid, but definitely a good person.

So Chen Yang was also interested in socializing with him.

In the academy, you couldn’t really have no friends at all.

Chen Yang followed Tu Qi in line to enter.

It was soon their turn.

Entering the Qi-Raising Tower also required contribution tokens.

And quite a lot, up to twenty thousand contribution tokens.

For people in the fourth or fifth region, that’s astronomical.

Even for students in the third region, it’s not a small amount.

But the effects of the Qi-Raising Tower are excellent, which makes many students very willing to spend contribution tokens to enter.

"By the way, Brother Chen Yang, do you have contribution tokens?"

Just as it was their turn, Tu Qi realized Chen Yang, being newly promoted to the third region, might not have enough contribution tokens.

But to his surprise, Chen Yang happened to have just over twenty thousand contributions.

These were all obtained by selling items to the Treasure Pavilion.

Originally, Chen Yang didn’t know how to use so many contribution tokens wisely.

Unexpectedly, they came in handy so quickly.

Even more unexpected was that they were used all at once; it was quite exaggerated.

"Brother Chen Yang, where did you get so many contribution tokens? It’s incredible."

Tu Qi was surprised, looking at the balance on Chen Yang’s Jade Token.

He was also promoted from the fourth or fifth region, so he knew the situation there very well.

To gather so many contribution tokens is certainly not an easy task, requiring much effort and time spent struggling.

Chen Yang had only been in the academy for how long? Yet he already had so many contribution tokens; it was really unusual.

"I had some items on hand that I didn’t need, so I sold them to the Treasure Pavilion and exchanged them for this many contribution tokens." Chen Yang explained when he saw Tu Qi was suspicious.

Upon hearing this, Tu Qi paused for a moment and then said nothing more.

He accompanied Chen Yang in paying the contribution tokens and then entered the Qi-Raising Tower together.

The inside of the Qi-Raising Tower was almost entirely empty.

Aside from a staircase leading to the second floor, it contained nothing else.

It was just a hall filled with cushions.

And beneath each cushion, there was a corresponding rank.

"Brother Chen Yang, this Qi-Raising Tower is a great place. Training here for a day is equivalent to training five days outside! Plus, while enhancing your power, it also helps strengthen your physique."

"Once it starts, you should really feel the magic of this place to ensure the twenty thousand contribution tokens aren’t wasted."

Tu Qi sat down with Chen Yang in the hall, immediately choosing two seats.

Chen Yang was puzzled: "Doesn’t each cushion have a corresponding rank? Why can we sit anywhere?"

Tu Qi explained, "Not everyone comes to the Qi-Raising Tower each time. So the seats are more or less unoccupied, and you can sit wherever you want as long as there’s space."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Chen Yang said nothing more, nodding in agreement and waiting quietly.

As more people entered, the once-empty hall started to feel fuller.

Chen Yang noticed many people heading to the second floor.

After some inquiries with Tu Qi, he realized.

That even in the Qi-Raising Tower, there were different levels of ranks.
