Black Swamp Palace

Tasura Academy

**Black Swamp Palace** it is the organization that Garen created by joining the Blackfire Palace, which he was his master, obtained by order of the king and emperor of the Kovitan Empire Avic, and the Silver Palace, whose master is Ivycius. The name as the Nine-Headed Hydra was originally the king of the swamp, changing to "Swamp" was suitable indeed. Moreover, for the disciples who were trained in Black Water True Technique, due to the nature of the martial art, they would definitely choose Totems with water attributes. Due to this fact, "swamp" was also very suitable.

Garen uses the Green Vine Sphere with its Zibane Power and the Black Water True Technique to create a new way for the commoners of the world to compete against and find equality with the Luminarist. He taught these methods to those who he chose or joined his **Black Swamp Palace**.

## Organization

He called the simplified versions the Four Direction Ten Thousand Mammoths, and he had listed out a Four Directions Sky Warrior for each district, in a throwback to his title from the Secret Technique World.

## Nine Snakes System

The Nine Snakes System was a new generation management system Calingan had created by upgrading and incorporating the previous Palace totem system. It created a new mechanism, with some virtual units called merits as the core to everything.

Anybody who contributes to the Black Swamp Palace would have their contributions recorded down as the corresponding number of merit points, these merit points could be used to exchange anything, be it totems, knowledge, supplies, or information, equipment, techniques, even hiring muscle or buying people.

Of course, there were only things that could be traded in theory, in reality there were not many things that could be traded right now, they were mostly from that huge haul Garen had gotten from the Royal Treasury previously, these items were used as the start-up capital, to attract disciples, scholars, the Elders and the Sky Warriors to constantly contribute to the Palace, any supplies, legacy information or treasures they had gotten from the outside world and was not suitable for their own use could be handed to the Palace to trade for merit points, and then these could be used to exchange for things the Palace did have, things they needed.

This was the optimized organization of supplies, Master Calingan had the people from the Technique Hall organize all the complete totem legacies, and came up with thirteen high-level legacy systems, these being one of the Black Swamp Palace's bases.

"Thirteen types of totem legacies?" Garen was thoughtful. "That's good too, after activating their totem user qualifications by achieving the fourth level of the Black Water True Technique, the scholars need to choose the legacies suited to them and continue training, organizing the systems like this won't only increase our knowledge about totems, there will also be information about the supplies needed for all sorts of evolutions, while also increasing the detailed technical experiences. As expected of Master Calingan, you really have set the strongest foundations for the entire Black Swamp Palace."

Calingan hastily waved his hand. "You flatter, Palace Master, if it weren't for your generosity, bringing out all of the legacies in your personal treasury to become the start-up capital, the Nine Snakes System might not be able to move so smoothly. I'm just doing what I should." "Let's go, let's see the Nine Snakes' core." Garen nodded.

### Assessment

The rankings of battle skill tactics, treasures, messages, and other things were based on the degree of their values, from one to nine, separating them into nine different levels. The higher the level, the more valuable its rank. Complete legacy types like the Black Water True Technique could sometimes achieve rankings as high as Form 5 Secret Techniques, which were equivalent to the highest Nine Snakes level.

Meanwhile, Ivycius’s legacy could achieve the highest ranking of peak Form 4, which was evaluated as Eight Snakes. By this understanding, the maximum legacy for middle level Form 4 was Seven Snakes.

The Five Snakes level was already an extremely high assessment level, and since it was an incomplete legacy, it was placed outside, and its value was equivalent to peak Form 3 Totem nurturing legacies. Those with less than ten thousand gold rumbs could not even dream of buying them.

"Besides that, when the scholars returned from their training outside, they brought back different Totem nurturing methods and battle skill attack moves, and two more even confirmed the intelligence information regarding suitable locations to practice the Black Water True Technique."
