Chapter 116：Three types of people

While walking around Tianyi College, Lin Feng noticed that among the people there, some had similar personalities while others had quite different ones. 

For instance, Lin Feng once encountered a woman who wore a radiant smile on her face, captivating everyone's heart. However, the crowd sensed a chilling aura from that smile, which was quite terrifying. 

Just now, Lin Feng encountered another young man again. This one was clad in a cold and stern demeanor, and there was a hint of malevolence lingering on his person. 

"Have you noticed anything?" asked Ao Xue, seeing Lin Feng's eyes showing some strange signs. She gave a faint smile and looked particularly enchanting. 

"Their demeanor is quite distinctive," Lin Feng murmured. Not only did he sense it, but even Jing Yun and Duan Feng felt it too. They nodded slightly. 

"Exactly, it was very special. At that time, because their strength was still far from sufficient, they were easily noticed for their uniqueness." 

Xiao Aoxue gave a slight nod. Then he stretched out his hand, his slender, fair hands like those of a woman, pointing towards several ancient castles in the distance and said, "In our Tianyi College, we only cultivate three types of people. This is also the problem you will face soon. If you want to become one of these three types, I will take you to the corresponding place." 

"Three kinds of people?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered and he asked, "Which three kinds of people?" 

"Engaging in battles on the battlefield, blood staining the yellow sand, being capable of commanding a vast army, possessing the indomitable courage to face death fearlessly, and being able to seize the heads of enemy generals from the midst of chaotic troops - this is one of his outstanding qualities." 

"General." Lin Feng's expression froze for a moment. The first type of person that Tianyi College aimed to cultivate was actually a military commander who fought on the battlefield. Moreover, this was a talented general who was powerful in strength, had great courage and wisdom. 

"The second type of person is the one who, behind the scenes, can command with certainty and control everything, and who will vanish into thin air in an instant with a mere smile." 

"Ah!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted for a moment. He asked Ao Xue about this kind of people, and he was certain that they were the kind of talents who could ascend to the imperial court and govern the country, and also be able to pacify the people in the provinces. They were the ones who could be called "Shang" (相) in ancient times. 

"Then what about the third type of person?" Lin Feng felt a vague curiosity in his heart. The people that Tianyi College intended to cultivate were the first two types. However, the fact that they wanted to cultivate someone like Zi Xiang made him feel a strange sensation in his heart. 

The third type of people are those who move about in the midst of the wind and fog, being the most perilous and mysterious kind. They do not show up unless they have to, and when they do, they are bound to cause bloodshed. 

Zhang Aoxue's gaze flickered and she slowly began to speak. Meanwhile, Lin Feng's eyes once again froze for a moment. This third type was actually... an assassin! 

"Who was the mastermind behind this day's event?" 

Lin Feng felt a strong sense of doubt in his heart. If the outside power was in control while the inside factions were in conflict, and there were also assassins and spies among the supporting forces, these three types of people combined could govern a country. 

Who is it that has such a huge ambition? 

"Could it be the doing of the monarch of the Snow Moon Kingdom?" 

Lin Feng murmured to himself, but immediately he denied it in his heart. If it were the Heaven One Academy founded by the Snow Moon King, why would he allow the creation of the Snow Moon Holy Academy by Duan Tianlao? However, if it wasn't founded by the King, how could such a dangerous place be allowed to exist? 

"Who is the president of this university?" 

Lin Feng greeted Quan Aoxue with a nod. This made Quan Aoxue's expression tighten. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Feng and said, "Many people are curious about this. However, in Tianyi College, it seems that only the vice president and the president have ever appeared. But it's certain that the president must be someone from the royal family and has a very high status. Regarding this, I think you should also understand." 

Lin Feng gave a slight nod. As a member of the royal family, it was obvious that this academy was undoubtedly established to serve the royal family. Perhaps this academy was the only one in the country that was dedicated to serving the royal family. 

"Also precisely because of this reason, Tianyi College is not overly public. It recommends talents through recommendation letters. Many of the students are from noble families. They are all willing to enter the college. People who know about Tianyi College understand its superiority. Therefore, I say, if you enter Tianyi College, you will definitely not regret it." 

Xiao Aoxue continued, "Lin Feng nodded to himself in secret." 

"By the way, I suppose you have heard my name too. But as for yours, I still don't know it yet." 

"Lin Feng!" 

"Lin Feng, what a nice name!" asked Ao Xue, repeating the words. "I just introduced to you the three types of people cultivated by Tianyi Academy. The commoner children of noble families, most of them aspire to become the second type. Just like their family elders, they stand behind numerous curtains, yet can turn the tides and control the situation at will. Of course, among the common people, there are also many who wish to become such people, but they face much greater difficulties." 

"However, some men of courage and passion would choose to become the first type; the third type is the rarest. They stay behind the scenes and are even unknown to the public. But the things they do are not less dangerous than those of the first type, and even more so." 

Lin Feng could fully agree with what Jian Aoxue said. For commoners who want to rise to the upper echelons, using iron and blood is the simplest and most direct way. But for those who aspire to become the first type of people in the aristocratic circle, it's very difficult. They need to resort to schemes and stratagems. They have no background and it's hard for them to fit in with that circle. 

As for assassins, how many people would be willing to become assassins? Every time they appear, they are walking on the verge of life and death. 

"Of course, their choices also depend on their talents and their spirit souls. Moreover, no matter what choices the people of Tianyi College make, strength is the top priority. Without strength, all talk is just empty words. Because this is the world of martial artists. In the face of absolute power, any intrigues and schemes will vanish into nothingness." 

Yue Aoxue looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Lin Feng, now you need to think about it. What kind of person do you want to become?" 

"First kind." 

Lin Feng responded straightforwardly, "If there are only these three options, he would undoubtedly choose the first one." 

The second type, behind those thick curtains, there was intrigue and strife. This was not what Lin Feng had hoped for. As for the assassin, Lin Feng had no such intentions either. Therefore, relatively speaking, he still preferred to be a sharp-edged sword in the battlefield. 

"The first kind of person requires passion, courage and loyalty." 

"Passion and courage, no problem. But as for loyalty, who should I be loyal to?" 

Lin Feng's gaze carried a peculiar tint as he looked at the person speaking and asked Ao Xue. 

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know either." Ao Xue asked, blinking her eyes which were as beautiful as those of a woman, and spreading her hands. 

"Lin Feng, I'll take you there right now where you want to go." 

"Well, you haven't told me yet. What kind of person are you?" 

Lin Feng looked at Ao Xue and asked, "This person is as handsome as an enchantress, carrying an air of nobility. However, he doesn't have the arrogance of other noble youths, nor does he have the boldness and grandeur of a warrior." 

"Which kind of person do you think I resemble?" 

"The third category of people." 

Lin Feng answered without hesitation, leaving Qian Aoxue stunned for a moment before he broke into a smile and remained silent. 

"Fan Meng, you too. What kind of person do you aspire to become?" 

Lin Feng turned around and looked at Duan Feng, asking, "Hehe, I haven't forgotten. This time I came to Tianyi College because of Duan Feng. But I ended up entering Tianyi College by accident myself." 

"Me?" Duan Feng chuckled and said, "I want to be like Brother Lin Feng and become one of the first type of people." 

"That's just fine. Let's go and have a look together." 

Lin Feng gave a slight smile. 

Not long after, several people gathered together and came to a series of palaces. In a spacious square, there were quite a few people standing there. In front of the crowd, there was a figure sitting there, with an ancient zither placed in front of him. 

"To become the first kind of person, even if you enter Tianyi College, you still need to pass a round of tests. Only by successfully passing this round of tests can you truly be accepted by this institution and be cultivated into the first kind of person." 

When Qu Aoxue noticed Lin Feng's confusion, she explained. 

Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment and he said, "Since those who want to become the first category of people have to go through special tests, then the other two categories of people, I guess, must do the same." 

"The second type of people don't need to do it, but those who want to become the third type are the most difficult to achieve. They have to pass three tests." 

Zhang Aoxue smiled and let Lin Feng's gaze linger for a moment. "Assassins are the kind of people no one wants to be. They are the hardest to deal with." 

However, the nobility and the like are the easiest to deal with. 

Standing in the square, apart from the newlyweds, there were also many people who had previously attended Tianyi College. Seeing Qian Aoxue chatting and laughing with several others and walking in, they couldn't help but feel as if they had seen a ghost. One by one, their eyes shone with astonishment and they were extremely surprised. 

What's even more bizarre is that Lin Feng discovered that when he asked Ao Xue about something, many people would involuntarily avoid him when passing by. It seemed that they were very afraid of asking Ao Xue about it! 

This scene couldn't help but make Lin Feng feel a bit strange!
