Just like that, another two days had passed, and Shen Lu, Wang Xiolun, Xiahou Yu and Shen Murong were currently looking at the long list of applicants that was to be shortlisted.

"This one is no good.." said Xiahou Yu as she flipped at another applicant form. She was tasked by Duan Li to shortlist Spellcaster class applicants.

By the side was Shen Murong, with veins popping on his forehead as he mocked out, "Huh? What the hell is with this specialty, body massage? Who needs that? Trash!"

Pong!

He crumpeled the applicant form and threw it to the dust bin at the corner of the room.

"Check this guy out, his specialty is a recon specialist! Shortlisted!" Shen Lu exclaimed as he nodded.

Both of them were tasked to shortlist the Warrior class applicants and to disregard any Strategist class applicants entirely.

Right now, their party member was just five people and they needed another five more in order for Duan Li to rank up to a 1 Star rank Lord Class.

Specifically, after their further discussions, they needed 3 more Warrior class, 1 more Spellcaster class and an Alchemist class.

With these mix, they would then have a final lineup of 1 Lord class, 1 Strategist class, 1 Alchemist class, 2 Spellcaster class and 5 Warrior class.

"This person is an all-rounder spellcaster, shortlisted!"

At this moment, Xiahou Yu had already filled her quota of 5 shortlisted Spellcaster. Wang Xiolun was also given 5 quota except Shen Lu and Shen Murong, whom only got 4 quota each.

This was because they were in charge of shortlisting the Warrior class and Duan Li had already shortlisted 2 Warrior class in advance before, the twins - called Wei Wang and Wei Shang.

"Specialty, unbeatable warrior? This daddy thinks that he could beat you up in a hearbeat! But I like this confidence!"

Shen Murong laughed out as he also filled his quota.

"Alchemist that can produce 12 different types of pills? Shortlisted."

On the opposite side, Wang Xiolun and Shen Lu had managed to fill up their quotas as well.

They then submitted these shortlisted applicants to Duan Li, whom checked at their biodata thoroughly as he nodded every so often while reading it.

...

After two whole hours of the shortlisting process, they now has a total of 20 shortlisted applicants out of the total three thousand applicants.

"Let us notify these 20 people to gather at the Dueling platform this afternoon." Duan Li said as he nodded satisfactorily.

With the help of the Principal, he managed to book the whole Dueling platform on the afternoon. Thus, the main event was now set in motion.

But right now, Duan Li had to swiftly go to his class soon - Herbalogist class. Even Shen Lu and the rest had immediately departed afterwards in a rush.

Hais!

Such was the life of a student, no matter how eager one were to do something else, one must definitely be accountable to their actions and responsibility as a student!

No matter if one were an immortal or a mortal, in a functional society nowadays, every single student needed to contribute their time for the sake of a better future for their Empire.

And if they were able to benefit from this as well, then one can truly say to themselves that they had succeeded.

A symbiotic relationship where both parties gained something out of it, this was the key to prosper!

Ahem!

Retracing back his thoughts, the reason why he chose the Herbalogist occupation was simple. The higher the star rank of someone in Herbalogist, the more access they would have to obtain rare types of herbs to concoct high grade elixirs or pills.

This way, it would generate a chain of connective demand and supply, where high Star ranked Herbalogist became the most saught after individual for influential figures and organization to obtain rare resources.

Furthermore, as the Star rank was a system created by the Empire, naturally, this also means that a higher Star ranked individual would become increasingly connected to the Royal palace. This ensured that all precious and limited resources of the Empire were strictly articulated and bonded.

Thus, while higher Star ranked individuals could be said to had gained immense amount of influence and prestige, they were also being closely monitored by the royal palace as well.

But of course, these were but simpler explanations to the whole complex mechanism that surrounded the successfulness of the Monarchial system of the Jiu Empire.

Against the test of time, many powers and influence had tried to undermine the authority of the Royal palace, but none dared to be truly brazen at all.

Otherwise, the convicted would find themselves to be slowly sanctioned by the Empire and then isolated from the others, slowly losing their significance until one day, where no one cared about them anymore, they would be dragged into a dark alleyway to be silenced eternally for good.

Thus, it could be said that, the first Forefather whom had invented this system could only be described as the most terrifying and unfathomable individual!

Other than that requirement though, those rarer and nice herbs would also cost quite a fortune to be purchased. In fact, they were so expensive and some even reached an astronomical sum due to their rarity and age alone.

Although for Duan Li, money was definitely not an issue at all.

Furthermore, he wanted to groom a personal group of Alchemist under him, with each specialized in a certain field.

This way, he could focus on his teaching approach for every individual in order to increase their overall productivity. When compared to teaching a single individual to be all rounded, not only would it take longer for them to become a master, resources would be wasted as well.

For example, if an Alchemist was taught whole-heartedly in just producing pills to increase combat power, they would be able to master a lot and could already produce a varieties of higher quality combat pills within a timeframe.

On the other hand, if an Alchemist was taught in producing pills to increase combat power, recovery, constitution and more within the same allotted timeframe, they would only be able to master the basics due to the time constraints and other inevitable limitations. This would only produce sub-par pills that was just like any other available in the market.

...

Bringing along Daelius as always, the cub walked in front of Duan Li to point him towards the correct direction. As usual, there were lines of female students tagging along behind Duan Li, and a lot of male students that saw this was naturally indignant within their hearts.

But now that they knew who Duan Li was, due to his increasing reputation and fame after the fight against Shen Murong, almost everyone had heard of how formidable he actually were, despite his sleazy outlook. Thus, they could only bear with it and curse silently.

Tap! Tap!

"I have finally arrived!" Duan Li said as he turned his head to look at the cub. "You can go around the campus and play now. Just remember to not cause any trouble okay?"

Arrrff! Arrrff!

Duan Li chuckled to himself seeing this energetic cub ran with its tail wagging left and right excitedly, eager to play with the other creatures in the academy.

And as he expected, it only took a few breath for the cub to be surrounded by female students that would gladly took care of it.

With a smile, he turned his head back and entered the class. This was a scene that he could remember vividly that was similar to back then.

The room was bigger and could fit a few hundred students per session.

The reason for this was because learning Herbalogist was part of the mandatory requirement in order to rank up every single major occupation to the 2 Star rank level by at least advancing the Herbalogist class to the 1 Star rank!

For an aspiring successful cultivator, they needed to at least knew of the basics to identify herbs properly, or to at least have the knowledge to stay away from dangerous and poisonous looking herbs in the wildlife.

Otherwise, with the numerous hostile environment outside there, if they decided to adventure out with zero knowledge in Herbalogist, they would most probably die.

The design of the classroom was similar to every other lecture-type of class - Coliseum style.

Taking a seat somewhere in the middle, it didn't took long before the whole seats was filled out and the room feels cramped.

Thankfully, there was no roof and it was an open air lecture. This was because some herbs releases scents or pollens that could be dangerous if inhaled. Some runic formations could also be seen revolving by the air to exhaust out these undesirable elements during the course of the lecture.

After all, the academy took the safety of its students seriously.

Tap! Tap!

A female teacher walked up onto the platform. Her looks were above average but her demeanor were graceful, and some male students had already fancied her to be their favorite teacher.

"Greetings everyone, I'm your teacher for this semester and my name is Ding Huiqing!" she spoke out with a clear melodious voice that caught everyone's attention instantly!

What a beautiful voice!

Even Duan Li nodded to himself hearing the voice from this teacher.

"Since this will be your first class, in this introductory lesson for today, we will learn how to identify between good and bad herbs!" she said as she whipped out two different herbs from her spatial ring.

Good and bad herbs?

That's an interesting term to use!
