Although Tianyi Academy lacks some depth, it ultimately has a royal background.

The Book Collection Pavilion also contains valuable tomes and records.

In recent days of study, Shen Han has gained a clearer understanding of Great Wei, or rather, the entire continent.

Firstly, regarding the cultivation system of Great Wei.

Apart from martial artists and scholars' cultivation, there is also a mysterious technique of witchcraft and gu skill.

Moreover, there's the method of dealing with common techniques.

Some of these techniques were also learned from Shi Yuezhu.

But with numerous books, there are still many new things.

Besides cultivation, Shen Han delved deeply into the political situation of Great Wei and the entire continent.

The original books he had, concerning Great Wei's political situation, were written in rather obscure terms.

Shen Han naturally understood that if it weren't written this way, these books might not have existed.

By extracting the [obscure and unclear] entries and adding a [detailed and clear] entry instead,

the passages in the books became much smoother to read.

There are many countries in the world, but in the eyes of Great Wei, they mainly focus on Qi Country to the north and Yan Country to the east.

Most other countries have very small territories.

Those that are slightly larger mostly have barren lands.

The three countries generally maintain peace and frequently exchange.

But at the border, soldiers often have conflicts...

Regarding the contents of other countries, Shen Han didn't read much, focusing instead on the political situation of Great Wei.

The biggest issue currently facing Great Wei is that His Holiness's life span is nearing its end...

A new emperor means a new court.

Moreover, Great Wei has not yet established a crown prince.

Nowadays, although Great Wei seems peaceful on the surface, almost every faction is calculating their small schemes.

Upon learning this, Shen Han couldn't help but frown.

The previous emperor's demise, along with the chaos of the succession battle.

To seize the merit of following the dragon, it's uncertain how chaotic it will become then.

After another day in the Book Collection Pavilion, seeing the sky outside turning dark, Shen Han returned to his residence.

The three fellow students sharing the yard live together quite smoothly.

They don't usually disturb each other, focusing on their cultivation.

But today, upon returning to the yard, he saw the three fellow students bought some sake and were drinking together.

"Brother Shen, come, come, we were waiting for you..."

Chai Haifu spoke with his eyes somewhat blurry, having drunk quite a bit.

"Have the three fellow students... encountered something troubling?"

Hearing Shen Han's question, Chai Haifu chuckled bitterly, burped, and spoke.

"This afternoon, that bastard Dugu Tian came to the yard once...

That motherless wretch told us to directly give up on tomorrow's assessment.

Said that we don't have enough strength yet for outdoor training and that staying in the yard for secluded cultivation is the true path.

Secluded cultivation... secluded cultivation his whole damn family!"

Seemingly infuriated, Chai Haifu suddenly cursed loudly, as if unleashing all his pent-up anger.

The two fellow students beside him, still somewhat rational, hurriedly came to cover his mouth.

"Brother Chai, watch your words, if others hear it, it'll be troublesome..."

"Doesn't matter who hears it, I, Chai Haifu came to this Tianyi Academy, for almost half a year, and my strength hasn't improved at all...

Even worse than when I was meditating and pondering at home, I progressed faster..."

As he spoke, a big boy suddenly began to cry.

The two at his side seemed to recall their own misery and followed suit.

Shen Han kindly comforted the three.

But he had to admit, Dugu Tian indeed was nauseating.

If truly unwilling to teach, he should not mislead the students here.

After crying for about a quarter of an hour, the three finally stopped.

Chai Haifu stood up, patted Shen Han on the shoulder.

"Brother Shen, you must have thought about surpassing that prodigious elder brother.

But under Dugu Tian, it's just an extravagant hope, an impossible dream..."

Poured a bowl of clear water, Shen Han supported Chai Haifu to help him drink it down, as he was indeed heavily drunk.

Seeing his dejected look, Shen Han encouraged with some firmness: "If we don't try, how would we know we can't pass his assessment?"

"Due to his disrupted meridians, Dugu Tian's strength indeed declined somewhat, but he still has Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm strength...

He's determined not to let us pass this assessment, so there's absolutely no chance..."

After Chai Haifu finished, Tang Xuhe angrily joined in: "That bastard Dugu Tian, every assessment he goes all out against us.

Withstanding his full force, we'd still suffer light injuries even with all defenses up..."

Just to avoid taking everyone out for training, Dugu Tian's disgusting actions are indeed excessive.

One night passed.

At 7:00 AM, the end of the month assessment began.

Shen Han woke slightly earlier, as the three fellow students drank so much wine last night and slept deeply.

After knocking to wake them, and getting ready, they all headed to the assessment venue together.

This is the Martial Arts Arena of Tianyi Academy, a spacious ground where executing cultivation techniques comes with fewer concerns.

Along the way, fellow students saw the four of them and showed a sympathetic expression.

Everyone at Tianyi Academy knows what kind of person Dugu Tian is.

Attending his classes feels nauseating, let alone having him as a tutor.

For over half a year, no student under Dugu Tian has participated in any outdoor training.

They also receive little guidance, and few resources.

In almost every aspect, it's inferior to other students.

At 7:00 AM, the assessment officially began.

A middle-aged man was the first to enter the center of the Martial Arts Arena, with a gentle smile on his face.

And the students underneath him, also calmly entered the arena.

The tutor and students, all had a sense of calm, not nervous at all.

A teacher, teaching according to students' abilities.

This tutor well exemplified this concept.

He knows his students well, targeting the weak points in each assessment.

Once pointed out, he repeats the technique.

This way, it's all to help students overcome their weaknesses and improve and strengthen.

After guidance, there's encouragement.

As a tutor, he feeds techniques to his students.

Allowing his students to display their potential and recent gains.

Chai Haifu and the three couldn't hide their overflowing envy at this scene.

In the end, all the students guided by this tutor passed the assessment and could participate in outdoor training.

To be honest, some of the students who passed the assessment are not even as good as Chai Haifu.

The end-of-month assessment, originally, should be like this.

It's a time to summarize, spot weaknesses, and make up for shortfalls.

The tutors are here today to understand their students through the assessment and thus better aid their improvements.

Perhaps only Dugu Tian intends to use such assessments to avoid taking students out for practice.
