"Because last time, your performance on the stage was far too stunning."
"The Old Emperor wants me to recruit you into an academy under the Tiandou Empire."
"And he's put out the word that as long as you're willing to join, you can set any conditions."
Qian Renxue recounted what Xue Ye had told him privately during the morning court session.
Since the path of marriage alliance was currently unfeasible,
Xue Ye had no choice but to find another way.
He thought that as long as Xing Daorong entered any academy to study,
He could then register himself as the teacher for the class Xing Daorong was in.
That way,
Without anyone knowing,
Xing Daorong would become a Disciple of the Son of Heaven.
It could be considered a disguised form of taking a disciple.
It was also to prepare for the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament in a year and a half.
Given the strength Xing Daorong had shown, if he could enroll in any academy,
He would surely win glory for the Tiandou Empire.
"Hmph! This Xue Ye has no real ability,"
"But he certainly has plenty of schemes."
Golden Crown was quite speechless.
"I haven't even settled the score with him for intercepting my munitions yet."
"And now he's already planning to be my teacher."
Qian Renxue said softly, "Don't worry, I've already refused on your behalf."
"No!"
Golden Crown interrupted, changing the subject.
"Since they've extended such a warm invitation, we'll just treat it as going there for a visit."
"..."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue frowned.
Even though she didn't know why Golden Crown wanted to go, she still agreed without the slightest hesitation... Blazing Academy.
Just like the academy's name,
Every student in the academy had the word 'Fire' in their name.
For example, the members of the team like Huo Wu, Fire Peerless, Huo Chui, and Huo Yun who were on the competition stage before.
Furthermore, every student who could enter Blazing Academy possessed a Martial Soul with the fire attribute without exception.
[Ding! Detected that the Host is currently at Blazing Academy. Sign-in successful!]
[Five Element Academies mission progress: 1/5]
"OK!"
"First sign-in completed easily."
"Next, to Divine Wind Academy."
Golden Crown walked along the road.
Because he had made a huge splash in the previous Martial Soul Fighting matches,
His feat of challenging the five great academy teams single-handedly
Had long since spread throughout the various academies.
Moreover, all the academies had learned from unofficial sources
That the Emperor intended to have this Xing Daorong join any academy under the Tiandou Empire.
As for which academy to join,
That would be decided by Xing Daorong himself.
And so, upon learning that Golden Crown had arrived at Blazing Academy,
The previously defeated Huo Wu hurriedly brought the people of Blazing Academy to see him.
Fire Peerless stroked his chin and guessed, "What does this guy mean? Does he intend to join our Blazing Academy?"
"Impossible."
"Blazing Academy has a rule."
"We only recruit students with fire-attribute Martial Souls. Who knows what this guy's Martial Soul is."
"I'm going to drive him away."
As Huo Wu spoke, she prepared to step forward and drive Golden Crown out of the academy.
Fire Peerless quickly pulled back his domineering, proud, and extremely impulsive younger sister.
"My dear sister, don't go and provoke him."
"Back then, so many of us weren't his match."
"Today just happens to be a day when the Dean and Vice-Dean are both away. If you make him angry, no one in the academy will be his match."
Huo Wu shook off Fire Peerless's hand. "I know."
"I just want to drive him away, that's all. Who would be stupid enough to fight a guy like that?"
Huo Chui pointed ahead and said, "Stop talking, it looks like Xing Daorong is leaving the academy."
"What does this guy mean? Does he really not want to join Blazing Academy?"
"Then what did he come here for?"
"A spring outing?"
The group was utterly bewildered.
It wasn't until the afternoon
That the Dean of Blazing Academy, Huo Bao, finally returned.
After everyone informed him of what happened in the morning,
Huo Bao was also completely baffled by Xing Daorong's behavior... [Ding! Detected that the Host is currently at Heaven Water Academy. Sign-in successful!]
[Five Element Academies mission progress: 2/5]
...[Ding! Detected that the Host is currently at Divine Wind Academy. Sign-in successful!]
[Five Element Academies mission progress: 3/5]
...[Ding! Detected that the Host is currently at Elephant Armored Academy. Sign-in successful!]
[Five Element Academies mission progress: 4/5]
...[Ding! Detected that the Host is currently at Thunder Academy. Sign-in successful!]
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the Five Element Academies sign-in mission. Reward obtained: Life Watch Blade!]
[Next sign-in location: Heaven Dou Royal Academy]
After leaving Blazing Academy,
Golden Crown went to the other four great academies in succession to sign in.
Except for encountering a bit of trouble at Thunder Academy,
The sign-ins at the other academies went very smoothly.
The supporter behind Thunder Academy was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
It mainly served to recruit branch disciples for the clan.
Since Jin E had previously used the alias Xing Tian to kill that old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always held a grudge over the matter.
Seeing Golden Crown arrive all by himself,
The Dean of Thunder Academy naturally wanted to find some trouble.
And so, he made a move.
Ultimately, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice,
Golden Crown directly called upon Iron Sword, who was following in secret, to beat the Dean of Thunder Academy into a state of heavy injury.
Looking at the reward the system gave this time,
Golden Crown couldn't help but curl his lips. "It's actually this weapon, life essence gold? This will be of great help to my Golden Crocodile King."
Life Watch Blade!
It was a divine weapon from the original work, Douluo 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect.
Its predecessor was the Spirit Devouring Calamity Saber, a cursed weapon ranked ninety-ninth among carving knives, forged from life essence gold!
Later, under the purification of the demi-god powerhouse Electrolux, it became the current Life Watch Blade!
The core functions of this weapon were extremely formidable.
It possessed life enhancement and restoration; strengthening of the Spiritual Sea; development of special organs, rapid cultivation level increase, and other powerful auxiliary functions.
Among these,
The most powerful were undoubtedly life enhancement and restoration, as well as rapid cultivation level increase.
For the former, as long as the Spiritual Sea was not destroyed, no matter how severe the injury, one could use the life essence gold contained within the weapon for treatment; even if limbs were broken, they could be restored.
The latter could rapidly increase cultivation because life essence gold contained a high concentration of life energy, which not only had no side effects but also far surpassed immortal grade herbs in effect.
Furthermore, this was not the final form of this weapon.
After absorbing enough life essence gold, the Life Watch Blade could evolve into the sword of life.
Golden Crown took out the dagger.
He saw that although the Life Watch Blade was only the size of a palm,
The whole body emitted pure life energy.
It floated quietly in mid-air.
With a thought, he instantly gained control over the Life Watch Blade.
"Truly a fine weapon."
After offering a word of praise, Golden Crown put it away.
Then he looked up at the horizon. "Alright, the trivial matters are finished. Next, it's time for the real business!"
