After Lao Zen and Li Shi left, Amon resud his task of studying his faction mbers' information. After studying everyone's information, he took empty papers and made several notes.
He worked until midnight before it was completed. He then went down to his basent and cultivated.
The next morning, Xin Wuming ca to visit as instructed.
Amon asked him to sit down at the table before he showed him the information he had cataloged as well as the notes he made.
Amon had grouped up the faction mbers into many groups. Each group normally had three to five students. Xin Wuming saw himself in one of these groups. Amon told Xin Wuming that from now on, their mbers should take on missions following these groupings. So, they had to find a mission that was suitable for the number of their groups.
Amon had checked the mission center. There were plenty of missions for groups. Doing group missions solo didn't an that it would be more beneficial. The mission points granted when one did it solo or with a group were the sa. For example, if a student picked up a mission that allowed three students to complete with a reward of 100 academic points. Doing it solo didn't an the student would get 300 academic points. The student would still only get 100 academic points. This was to motivate the students to work in a group instead of doing everything solo.
However, every mission still had a limit to how many students may apply for it. So missions even allowed up to twenty or thirty students to participate. These were usually four or five-star missions.
Amon told Xin Wuming that the groups he had selected may be combined, but not split. Two or three groups were allowed to do the sa mission. But mbers in one group may not be split to be distributed to other groups.
Amon had set it so that each of the mbers within a group complented each other. mbers of the sa group were also the most likely to be able to work together. Most importantly, at least one mber in each group had a decent movent art.
Amon had told his mbers to wait for his permission before taking missions. It was because missions were carried out outside the academy ground. Inside the academy, they were protected by the rules. Outside, it was not so. Amon was confident his faction would have no problem dealing with any of the five factions, as long as they were all freshman students. But if they encountered the junior and senior mbers, it was a different story.
Junior and senior students generally had higher cultivation levels. It would be a problem if his faction mbers clashed with them. Inside the academy, the junior and senior mbers were not allowed to co into the freshman section. In the main section, they might cause trouble, but not too much since they were still bound by the academy's rules.
But if they t outside the academy, then they would be in trouble. The sa rules still applied outside the academy when a student killed or heavily wounded another student, but if there was no eyewitness, then no one could say anything.
That's why Amon placed at least one mber with good movent skills in each of the groups he selected. So, at least one could flee. Amon gave Xin Wuming the instruction to tell that mber that he or she should not hesitate to flee whenever they encountered junior or senior students that ant them harm during their venturing out there. Once those students saw one mber flee, they would no longer dare to deal too heavily with the remaining freshn that were left behind. If anything happened to those freshn, they would beco the pri suspects.
Additionally, Amon told Xin Wuming to inform their mbers to only take one-star or two-star missions. Such a mission usually could be completed inside Qishurg City or in the vicinity of Qishurg City. They didn't have to venture too far away. Hence, reducing the risks.
Qishurg City's citizens knew that the academy students were under the academy's protection. As long as the students carried the academy badge, no one would dare to harm them unless they were willing to face the academy's retribution.
Xin Wuming saw that so mbers were not grouped. When he asked about those mbers, Amon told him these were mbers that he thought were not ready to take on missions yet. He instead gave them other tasks, selling the Thousand Dream Powders within Qishurg City.
Amon instructed them to price the drugs higher in the city, but the mbers selling would also receive a higher commission. They could use the aer stones from this to buy cultivation resources in the city, to assist their cultivation. Once Amon thought they were ready, Amon would assign groups to them for taking on missions.
Aside from that, Amon also gave Xin Wuming a series of practice drills for the mbers to undertake. It was military drills from his past world. It won't help the mbers in cultivation but it should help them in improving their coordination, precision, and discipline.
After leaving his instruction, Amon dismissed Xin Wuming to deliver his instructions to the mbers. He then went back to focus on cultivation and art practices.

Amon went to his daily routine. Cultivating, training his arts, and experinting on poison. Xin Wuming ca in three tis a week bearing reports. Nothing significant happened. After the last altercation with the Nobles, the factions now understood the Vicious was a group that bit back. All five factions hoped that one of them would go into a clash with the Vicious again, but none of them wanted it to be themselves. So, they just watched each other without any serious move.
So small engagents still happened, but those were common occurrences inside the academy. No one was seriously wounded.
Vicious mbers followed Amon's instructions. So started taking missions to start working on their yearly quota. They ford into groups following Amon's arrangent and took only missions that were in Qishurg City or nearby.
A few mbers went into the city and started distributing Amon's Thousand Dream Powders. The recreational drug turned into a sensation soon. Many were looking for it. Aside from selling his drugs, Amon also tasked the mbers who were distributing them to recruit local people. These locals then beca runners who distribute the drugs for them. The mbers no longer had to sell directly and could focus themselves on cultivation and training.
With a stable inco, Amon used it to buy low-grade cultivation pills and shared them with his mbers, helping them grow as well as earning their loyalties even more. It would have been easier for him to give them spirit herbs or fruits from his secret plantation, but these raw materials were not common products. If he gave them continuously, soone might start asking questions. End products like cultivation pills available at shops were more common.
With this assistance, the growth of Vicious' mbers did not lose to the five factions that had better territories.
Ah Bin could walk again one week after Amon gave him the regrowth pill. Amon asked him to focus on cultivation and practice within the academy before starting to take missions. He ended up trying the specialization class. After a few days, he discovered that he had a knack for alchemy. He spent a lot of ti there. In addition to the tutor's guidance, Amon also gave him a few books from the pyramid legacy about alchemy, helping his understanding of the subject grow further.
Two weeks after the brawl, Tuang Yin ca to his house. She called for Amon to allow her entrance. Amon ignored her at first, but the girl was relentless. She seed to be able to continue shouting non-stop. Amon decided to just see what she was up to.
After letting her in, she handed a regrowth pill to Amon, telling him that this was the pill her clan had brought over. This was to return the one Amon had given her. Amon said it was unnecessary. She was wounded because of saving him, so it was the right thing for him to help her heal. But she insisted. Amon didn't want to waste his ti arguing so he just accepted the regrowth pill.
Tuang Yin asked Amon if he mind her hanging around. Amon replied he does.
"Do you hate ?" Tuang Yin asked.
"I don't," Amon replied.
"So, why are you so cold to ?"
"I'm cold to everyone."
"Well, that is true." Tuang Yin scratched her head.
"Why are you so interested in , anyway? You don't know . What is your purpose?" Amon asked.
"People call
a slut," Tuang Yin said.
Amon gave her a look that said what did that have to do with him?
"Even my family does, behind my back mostly," Tuang Yin continued. "Just because of how I have no reservations talking or hanging out with boys, or even getting physical with them. I guess that's why my family chose to send
here instead of grooming
to be the elders of the clan. They have given up trying to make
a princess. However, what they don't realize is that I don't just date any boys. Yes, I talk and play with all of them, but I only choose to date the strongest."
"That's interesting," Amon remarked. "So, if soone stronger beat your current boyfriend, you will date that stronger soone?"
"Yes," Tuang Yin replied.
'No wonder they call you a slut,' Amon thought within.
"But I know you are the strongest of them all. No one is going to beat you," Tuang Yin said. "So, I know there is no need for
to look at another man anymore after seeing you."
"There are plenty of people stronger than ."
"Because they are older. You will beat them once you reach their age."
"You seem certain."
"I am," Tuang Yin said, then she added, "Do you want to have sex?"
