Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 34: The Original Intention of the Academy
Xinhuo Secret Realm, before the entrance,
The old ruler of Chisha Kingdom waved his sleeves and strode in.
Immediately, the world changed. The surroundings were no longer desolate and silent. All that could be seen were mountains, flowing water, and vague white mist. It was an amazing and beautiful fairyland scenery.
"Xinhuo Academy, it really has a solid foundation."
The old Lord of Chisha said.
He is a big man at the top of the Yunhui Realm, a respected demigod, and the backer of several Red Sand Lion myths.
His original plan was to win the exchange match and then appear on the scene with the might of a demigod.
Unfortunately, something went wrong with the plan.
But even so, they were unwilling to leave in disgrace. Just at this moment, the "vice president" of Xinhuo College appeared and openly invited them in for a chat.
The old Lord Chisha was quite surprised.
One was surprised by Vice President Liu Feng.
The people of Chisha Country admired muscles and force, but they also had some brains. Previously, they had judged that Xinhuo Academy might have the means to deal with demigods, but there would be no real demigods.
——Since Xinhuo Academy has obtained a large amount of Kandra heritage, it is not impossible for it to obtain the means to rival demigods through certain defensive buildings, Kandra puppets, war weapons, and rituals.
But even if Xinhuo obtained the Kandra inheritance and possessed unparalleled advantages, it would still require enormous resources and time to cultivate a demigod.
A very long time!
This is based on the premise that everything goes well.
As soon as Vice Dean Liu Feng appeared, he sensed the charm of a demigod from this gentleman who did not hide it very much. This charm was like a giant sword piercing the sky, spreading waves of sharpness, making it difficult for people to look directly at it.
Not only is he a demigod, but he is quite possibly a demigod who is no less powerful than his own ruler!
The old king pondered secretly.
The second surprising thing was that the Xinhuo demigod invited them in for a chat.
As we all know , the myth realm is a mobile city-destroying weapon, and the demigod realm has the power to destroy a huge city with one palm. The power of the demigods continues to explode, and can even cause the continental plates of some small worlds outside the realm to tremble, thereby causing global climate changes and dragging the entire world into the abyss.
Most forces usually do not allow foreign myths to enter their core areas, such as the capital.
The capital's ritual formation diagram is activated and can easily block the attack of the myths. However, if a myth war breaks out inside the capital, the aftermath will destroy many important areas and bring irreparable losses.
Twenty thousand years ago, the reason why Yanlei suffered heavy losses in the civil war was because they had a mythical war breaking out in multiple oases, causing the economy, power, and foundation to regress countless times.
"Xinhuo Academy invited us in for a chat, which not only shows their big picture, but also shows that they have enough means of control."
It could be a rare internal ritual, or a powerful ruling force.
No matter which one it is, the pressure came to the Red Sand Country. The open door to the secret realm seemed to be connected to dragon's den, tiger's lair, and the abyss of hell.
But they had already lost the battle, so how could they throw away their last bit of momentum?
The old Lord of Chisha laughed loudly and stepped inside without any fear.
Along with them came the legends of the great powers. The Venerable Huang, the Worshiper Luo Xiu, the Judge Yan Lei... Of the seven great powers of Yunhui, six of them came with legends.
“No wonder such a genius was born here. This place, whether it’s the venue or the atmosphere, is a well-deserved place for cultivation.”
The old ruler of Chisha sighed.
He actually wanted to appear more assertive, but since he had already lost the competition, he couldn't say anything assertive.
The second game was fine, but in the third game, the gap was really too big.
The Red Sand Lion of the Four Divine Beings was defeated without any resistance.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the taciturn Heidao, feeling a little envious. This was a rare genius that was rarely seen in thousands of years.
However, isn't this Mr. Liu Feng the same?
They talked about the way of demigods and the construction and application of Dharma images.
"1024 divine covenant nodes together construct a huge demigod with infinite power. However, 1024 nodes are only the most basic model..."
"I prefer the Golden Body Mode with 1,668 Divine Contract Nodes and the Sky Mode with 1,888 Divine Contract Nodes..."
"On the basis of the Demigod Form, the Demigod Bones and Demigod Eyes of the Dharma Form are constructed to further enhance combat power."
When it comes to the demigod realm, the old ruler of the Chisha Kingdom is no longer sleepy.
In the past, few people could discuss the ways of demigods with him. But as they talked, he found that he could no longer keep up with the pace of the deputy dean Liu Feng.
Lord Liu Feng even proposed many demigod construction models that he had never heard of.
This kind of knowledge can definitely be acquired by browsing some inheritance materials. Obviously, Master Liu Feng is not as young as he looks, and he is definitely not a newly promoted demigod!
The Lord of Akasagakure gradually became respectful and solemn.
Liu Feng often gave lectures to the mythology class, and he could even talk about the ways of demigods for days and nights. However, he knew very well that the current situation was different from the Kandra period. Humans were not only weak, but also independent. The number of oases that died at the hands of humans was not necessarily less than that of those that died at the hands of evil spirits.
At first glance, he spoke a lot of high-level knowledge, but when the Red Sand King, the Red Sand Lion, and the Cloud Map Huang Zunzhi came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, they would find out...
It's the same as not saying anything.
It’s not that he didn’t talk about everything, Liu Feng talked about the catalogue.
This was even more tempting to Lord Akasaga and others, but he was too embarrassed to ask, and he knew it would be useless even if he asked.
Liu Feng noticed the subtle changes in their expressions.
"We at Xinhuo Academy are committed to cultivating more powerful human beings, and we welcome you all very much. We will treat you as external tutors."
The old Lord Chisha looked stunned.
He had to admit that the treatment at Xinhuo College was quite tempting.
The premise is not the mythology of their seven countries.
Vice Dean Liu Feng said, "You may have misunderstood something. Our academy is very lenient in its management of prospective students, formal students, or external tutors. Our original intention is only to cultivate strong human beings."
"After graduation, the students' stay or departure is entirely up to their own will. Not only that, our Xinhuo Academy will not take root in this area. When the academy leaves, most of the students may return to Yunhui Area."
"Of course, if you are interested in becoming part of our core and taking over the torch of human heritage, we would also welcome you very much."
At this time, a group of myths have entered the reception hall, and drinks are served by handsome and beautiful waiter puppets produced by Kendela. However, the myths from the six major countries still frowned, pondering the words spoken by the demigod Liu Feng.
After graduation, can students stay or leave as they wish?
Xinhuo Academy, aren’t you planning to take root here?
Since its inception, Xinhuo Academy has indeed not operated any external oasis, which is consistent with the description of Mr. Liu Feng. However, they still find it hard to believe, no, they cannot believe at all, that Xinhuo Academy is so selfless.
"May I ask you, Your Excellency, are you really not going to fully absorb all the students that your academy has spent a lot of resources to train? What is the meaning of your academy doing this?"
The old Lord of Chisha said.
His eyes were heavy as he stared straight at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng smiled and said, "Indeed, we are not completely without purpose. I have said before that we at Xinhuo will not force students to stay, but if students themselves are very willing to stay in the academy or the academy's external institutions, we will naturally not refuse ."
"That's one thing, and the second thing..."
He gradually restrained his cynical smile, became serious and earnest, and his eyes seemed to reflect the vicissitudes of life.
"Second, time may not be running out for us humans."
"Everyone here is a high-ranking official from each country in the Yunhui Region. You have probably already discovered that the evil god disaster is getting closer and closer."
…
A few hours later, the atmosphere in the reception hall became increasingly heavy, and beads of sweat appeared on Shenhua's temples .
The evil god awakens!
The disaster is coming again!
There is a myth shocking, aren't they already in the Age of Cataclysm, already influenced by the evil god? Now Xinhuo Academy tells them that the evil god has not awakened?
So what are they facing? !
The myth of Shuiman Nation slammed the table and shouted, but when he came to his senses, he found that the myths of other countries did not seem to think that this statement was a fantasy... They seemed to believe it? Believed it!
Venerable Huang did not believe it completely.
If Xinhuo Academy had put forward this idea before the competition, he would probably have scoffed at it.
But the exchange competition proved the extraordinaryness of the academy, and the "Demi-God's Theory" made Huang Zun feel that Vice Dean Xinhuo was unfathomable. There was no need to joke with such people . After comparing some external information, Huang Zun's face became solemn, and he believed most of it.
and……
“Yes!”
"I have thought before that if Xinhuo Academy is an ancient hidden force, it would not make sense for it to come out just to recruit some followers... But if a disaster is about to come, Xinhuo Academy is preparing to spread some fire... This is not impossible."
Many geniuses;
The unfathomable demigod dean;
The power of the underlying substance is beyond imagination;
Humanity... there is actually an ancient, unknown mysterious force?
"Tens of thousands of years ago, during the Kandra Empire, humans were extremely powerful. Why are you so sure now that only a few cats and kittens are left?"
"However, our strength alone is far from enough to resist the disaster of world destruction. Our academy hopes that other countries can pay attention to it, and we also welcome young people from all countries to come here to study and exchange."
…
"Xiao Huan, how much do you think these people believe and how much do they know?"
"The probability that they believe it is only 56.9%."
Fang You had long wanted to have a more formal dialogue with the various countries, but he needed an opportunity. The challenge from the Red Sand Country was a good opportunity... an opportunity to defeat them.
Regardless of whether other countries believe it or not, after returning, they will try their best to find similar information clues and will shift more attention to the evil god's disaster.
The Yunhui Realm has been peaceful for too long, and Fang You hopes that they can take it seriously.
Perhaps in the future, his own Xinhuo will be the tallest among humans, but he still hopes that humans can have a few more "tall guys" to ease the pressure of the falling sky.
But now, our own flame is not high enough, the highest one is undoubtedly the Central Holy Court.
"What I said today will definitely reach the ears of the Saint Court's top leaders, but how will they react then..."
He thought there was probably no response.
The Central Holy Court was ancient, powerful, closed, and conservative... With the power and accumulation of the Holy Court, it was impossible for them not to know that the evil god was about to revive. What measures did they take...
Fang You is still unclear.
What he can do now is to continue to accumulate himself and gather fighters with the same beliefs.
"After what happened today, other countries may take the initiative to allow some of their less important royal children to study at our Xinhuo Academy... But of course, we can't accept everyone. Talents can be slightly inferior, but character must not be bad. We can't let one piece of shit spoil the whole barrel."
"We will leave this aspect to our hardworking Xiao Huan to investigate clearly."
"Yes, I'll leave it to Xiaohuan." She patted her bulging chest, "The cities in Yunhui Domain exchange information frequently, so it will be much easier for Xiaohuan to collect it."
"Also, how is the current operation of the academy? Is the acquisition and expenditure of resources balanced?"
Fang You asked. Liu Feng, who was in charge of the affairs of the college, was always worried about the imbalance of income and expenditure, and the depletion of resources.
Hearing this,
Xiao Huan then pulled out a statistics panel.
"Since our resources are easy to obtain and there are no hateful middlemen who make a profit from the price difference, our income is higher than our expenditure. However, after deducting the operating expenses of the academy and the necessary expenses in case of unexpected situations, Xinhuo Academy makes almost no profit."
At this point, she seemed a little depressed.
But Fang You’s original intention of establishing the academy was not to make money, but rather to “make people”.
At this time, a big light bulb popped up in Xiao Huan's head. She blinked her big eyes and said, "I got it, I got it. Countries want to send some of their children to our academy to take advantage of our heritage. Then we can charge extra fees for those poor students with poor talents."
At this point, as if afraid that Fang You would not agree, Xiao Huan gave an example.
"In order to send their offspring to the Central Holy Court Academy, various countries have spent a lot of money to buy places... After all, our Xinhuo Academy teaches real skills. For those offspring from various countries who don't quite meet the requirements, we charge extra fees and use the money to operate the academy. Xiao Huan thinks this is very reasonable."
…
The news that the Red Sand Nation challenged the Xinhuo Academy and suffered a crushing defeat spread throughout the entire Yunhui Region within half a month.
The Yunhui Domain is like a calm lake. As soon as the water ripples, it becomes extremely eye-catching.
Just as the awakened people from all over the country were discussing the origins of Xinhuo Academy, whether the Red Sand Country would seek revenge, and what other melons they could eat, another major event occurred. This event caused even greater waves among the ordinary awakened people.
"Xinhuo Academy will hold recruitment examinations in various places. Those who pass the preliminary selection can go to the academy for further examinations. If they pass all the examinations, they can become a promising Xinhuo apprentice!"
This news first came from bounty guilds in various places.
Behind these bounty guilds is the myth of the Red Sand Country.
Ordinary awakeners naturally didn't know about this inside story. They were only surprised by one thing: Xinhuo Academy was preparing to... recruit students from the entire region? !
High-level awakeners, descendants of powerful forces, and old hands are still hesitant about whether to go to Xinhuo Academy to see what's going on.
They either don't believe it or are reluctant to give up the foundation they have created.
In the eyes of low-level awakeners, Xinhuo Academy is more attractive. It is their chance to make a breakthrough!
However, only the former are capable of crossing the vast domain to go to Xinhuo Academy to take the assessment.
The latter can only listen to the stories that are passed down, sigh a few words of envy, and then continue their ordinary and monotonous lives.
And now...
"Second Master, your daughter may meet the requirements, don't miss this opportunity."
"Auntie, you are only sixty today. I heard that you are considered young among the awakened ones. I think you can give it a try."
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Wait until I am admitted to Xinhuo College, and then we'll see what happens!"
…
When there were some waves in Yunhui Territory because Xinhuo was preparing to recruit students from all over the territory, people in Chisha and other countries were also discussing things related to Xinhuo.
The most discussed point is whether or not to send their offspring to study in Xinhuo.
"As of now, Xinhuo is a very pure academy, and they have a heritage far superior to ours... My suggestion is that you can give it a try."
After all, to be frank, few of the young descendants of the myth have noble status.
Afterwards, the Shinhwas talked about the cost issue.
Xinhuo College provides two options: study abroad exchange and independent examination.
The independent examination means that the descendants of their family participate in the selection like other people and advance step by step.
Studying abroad for exchange means that they pay their own tuition fees, use the training ground of Xinhuo Academy, and will not stay in school under any circumstances after graduation.
"Our designated international students can directly receive formal student treatment, but if they violate the school rules, they are still at risk of being expelled. Moreover... the tuition fees for studying abroad are too expensive."
"Not necessarily. Xinhuo also gives extra credits, so the cost is worth it."
It is worth it, but compared to getting it for free, it is undoubtedly a loss.
Myth also likes to get things for free.
"I think that those who are capable of passing the preliminary and re-examinations of Xinhuo Academy should be allowed to do so on their own. After all, Xinhuo has clearly stated that they will not interfere with the students' decision to stay or leave... The promise of a demigod can be trusted."
"But what if there are kids who are willing to stay at Xinhuo?"
"Hahaha, you worry too much."
