Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Exchange Store

Xue Bai asked a few more simple questions, and the Head Instructor obediently answered them. The invisible threat of the nearby Liu Mei worked wonders, and this peak stage Law Manifestation realm cultivator didn\'t even dare raise his voice at Xue Bai in fear of the Heaven Chasing Eagle who sat a few hundred meters away.

And after he was given the black robe, the Head Instructor also gave Xue Bai a small explanation of the Academy\'s rules.

Most of the rules were simple, like not hurting your fellow students without reason, or that theft and treachery would be met with heavy consequences, etc.

None of them surprised Xue Bai, and after he nodded silently at all of them, Head Instructor Li took him and the other students to a nearby building. He was also given the identification token the Head Instructor talked about there.

"Prince Consort, this is your identification token." Head Instructor Li patiently spoke as he handed Xue Bai a jade token with a mountain engraved on it.

Xue Bai took the small jade token and gave it a quick lookover. On one side, there was a Xue character branded on it, while on the other, there was a small 100 written on it.

"That 100 points Prince Consort is your starting capital. You can use it to buy anything within the Academy\'s Exchange Office. Of course, you can use it for other purposes. However, the exchange office is the most important building you will enter during your stay in this Academy."

"Beyond that, I believe I have explained everything to you, Prince Consort. So if you will excuse me, this old man would like some rest. This day has been… rather packed." And with a bow, the old man walked as fast as his cane could let him.

Long Zhenyu, the Empire\'s invincible general, was beaten to the point where even his father, Long Tian, couldn\'t recognize him and then planted into the ground like a vegetable. While Long Tian, the Empire\'s \'Grand Duke,\' was stuck into a wall twice and beaten away like a stray dog.

Everything that happened an hour ago was still fresh in Head Instructor Li\'s mind, and he needed time to digest it all and even more time to plan around it and develop countermeasures.

Even though he had acted humbly and obedient toward Xue Bai, it was all only on the surface layer.

Deep down, the old man only had anger toward Xue Bai and an intense desire to kill the boy. However, with Liu Mei so close and the weird sword that Xue Bai kept with him that could even maim the Vice Academy Head Ling, who was at the peak stage Domain Lord realm, Head Instructor Li was too scared to make a move.

Long Tian and his faction needed to do a lot of research and planning before they could act next.

\'Just wait until we find out your true backing! If your clan is even a bit weaker than His Highness, then your death date will follow!\' Head Instructor Li menacingly thought as he walked away.

Xue Bai knew all of this, but since that old man had the courage of a tortoise, he didn\'t care.

Even this entire time, while Liu Mei was a decent distance away, Head Instructor Li didn\'t even make a single testing move toward him. And while he wouldn\'t have been able to hurt Xue Bai in any way, most hot-headed men in this situation wouldn\'t have been able to hold themselves back from testing Xue Bai\'s bottom line.

Since Xue Bai hadn\'t killed anybody from Long Tian\'s faction yet, it was obvious he wouldn\'t kill anyone yet. So in the worst-case scenario, Xue Bai would have a defensive artifact, and his attack would be blocked, but in the best case, Head Instructor Li would be able to kill Xue Bai on the spot.

As for the future repercussions, since they all had complete faith in their backer, wouldn\'t they just think Liu Mei would only be suppressed by him? Why not test Xue Bai here?

There were few repercussions and an infinite amount of benefits!

Thankfully the Head Instructor was a coward with little to no backbone, so Xue Bai\'s defensive measures weren\'t exposed.

Of course, the only reason Xue Bai had thought this far was because he forgot his more than spectacular first appearance in the Gen Empire.

The Duke who thought Xue Bai was a threat and tried to stop him from doing any harm to the empire was a man in the early stages of the Domain Lord realm, and yet he was instantly killed by a sword slash and turned into a fine powder.

So how dare the peak stage Law Manifestation realm Head Instructor Li dare to attack Xue Bai?

The only he would attack Xue Bai was if he was suicidal!

Not knowing the true reason for the old man\'s cowardice, Xue Bai ignored the other students he entered the school with and walked out of the building where he got the identification token.

Thanks to the Head Instructor\'s lecture, he was now well-versed in the Academy\'s geography. So after finding out where he was with the help of a nearby landmark, Xue Bai made his way toward the most important building in the Academy.

The Gen Empire\'s Exchange Store was a building that, from the outside, resembled a modern grocery store from Earth.

Curious about whether the inside looked like a grocery store as well, Xue Bai walked inside. Of course, as he did walk in, he gained many both confused and curious gazes, but because of his otherworldly and detached temperament, no one dared to approach him.

Spending two and half years in the void had subconsciously made Xue Bai\'s temperament detached from reality, and it had only increased from the excessive use of his physique.

At this point, if they didn\'t closely observe Xue Bai, most people would find it hard to even spot him. But, when it was coupled with his otherworldly looks and his unique hair and eye color, it went without question that Xue Bai gained many looks.

Thankfully unlike during his youth when most people would think he was a beautiful girl, barely anyone misgendered him now. And almost all of them assumed that Xue Bai was an extremely handsome young man.

But once they looked at his sunken cheeks and lack of blood essence, some people got some strange ideas rather quickly.

\'Another perverted Young Master has forced his way into the Academy.\'

Unaware of how low his first impression was of the students he met, Xue Bai walked over to a kiosk and grabbed a scroll.

"So you can exchange for Spirit Stones using the Academy Points but can\'t do the opposite." Xue Bai thought as he read the scroll.

Spirit Stones were on the scroll, and by using 1.5 Academy Points, one could exchange for a Spirit Stone.

And while this was done at a loss by the student who exchanged for it, sometimes it was necessary. After all, the Academy didn\'t have everything, and sometimes students were forced to buy something they needed elsewhere.

Looking further down, Xue Bai saw some simple pills like the Tiger Strength Pill he had used a few years ago to help an exhausted Xiao\'er and even some luxurious items like a Divine Water Essence Fruit.

The Divine Water Essence Fruit was the blue fruit that was produced by the Five Elements Mystic Spirit Tree that currently sat in Xue Bai\'s spatial ring.

Overall the scroll that listed the entire Academy\'s inventory was rather impressive, especially for such a low-tier Empire.

\'This will do for now.\'

Nodding slightly, Xue Bai placed the scroll back down and turned around to leave.

Currently, he was still in his own purple robe that he had bought somewhere else. And he now planned to find his own courtyard and change into his black robe.

After that, Xue Bai planned to go meet Feng Hai.

Though Head Instructor Li had told Xue Bai many things, he didn\'t tell Xue Bai anything about the current situation of the Academy. For example, which students were talented and still not loyal to Long Tian, and the opposite, Xue Bai needed to know a lot before he could plan ahead.

However, before he could exit the Exchange Store, two people stood in front of him.

Frowning slightly at the rude duo, Xue Bai looked at them both.

The rude students were two men who also wore the same black robe that was in Xue Bai\'s spatial ring. However, their cultivations weren\'t that high, only being in the early stages of the Qi Sea realm, and once he realized that these two men were in their mid to late thirties, Xue Bai could assume that these two had middle Yellow-grade Martial Veins and were at the end of their potential.

"What do you want?" Xue Bai asked as he looked down at the two men in front of him.

Surprisingly, for the first time in his life, Xue Bai was taller than someone!

Both of the men in front of him were rather short, and because of this, they were only around 1.7 meters tall and, therefore, much shorter than the 1.8-meter-tall Xue Bai.

Seeing Xue Bai\'s odd expression, the two men were rather confused, but since they didn\'t know anything about him and their true mission, they pushed away their curiosity.

After looking at each other, the slightly shorter man nodded at his companion before he began to speak.

"This Brother, we couldn\'t help but see you aren\'t wearing the Academy\'s uniform. So this must mean you are new here and have yet to change into your new robes. Because of this, our boss wanted to try and help you get around."

One of the rules of the Academy was that while you were within its walls, you were required to wear its uniform.

Of course, once you left its walls, you could change into your own choice of clothing, but if you weren\'t, then you had to wear a black robe.

So once they saw Xue Bai not wearing his robe, and knowing that the entrance exam was happening today, they instantly figured out he was a fresh recruit. And because of this, the two men were given a job by their boss to try and recruit Xue Bai to their faction.

After the man finished his sentence, he turned around and pointed to a person in a golden robe by the doorway.

\'Oh, they just want to recruit fresh meat.\' Xue Bai instantly figured out their purpose.

"I\'m not against having a guide." Xue Bai thought aloud.

This sentence instantly gained the aggression of the two men and their boss, who was only a few meters away, but before they could say anything aloud, Xue Bai continued to speak.

"However, who is your boss? Is he someone of high value? A random thug who barely entered the Academy isn\'t worth my time."
