"What's wrong? The one who could defeat Qiu Mingjie and confront Liu Canxin is actually afraid of a few small warriors?" Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind Aotian.
Looking at Snow Qincheng approaching him gracefully, Aotian smiled wryly and said, "Fair Lady Xue, please don't mock me."
Upon seeing Aotian's expression, Snow Qincheng couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, leaving Aotian momentarily stunned by her charm.
"You can just call me Xue Qingcheng. Once we get to Xuantian Academy, we might need to look out for each other," she said.
"Then I shall obey your wishes..." Aotian replied.
At a three-way intersection, Aotian, Snow Qincheng, Xiao Ya, and the Xiao Brothers stood quietly.
"Uncle Xiaoya, Xue Qingcheng and I are heading to Xuantian Academy now, while you will return to Desolate City. Let's part ways here," Aotian said to Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya nodded with a smile. Now that Aotian's strength had completely surpassed his own, there was no need for him to protect Aotian closely anymore.
"Aotian, there are many talents in Xuantian Academy, like stars in the sky, and there are also many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. You must be cautious when you get there and avoid causing trouble!" Xiao Ya said earnestly.
Hearing Xiao Ya's words, Aotian's eyes turned slightly red. Although they hadn't spent much time together, Xiao Ya's care for him was as meticulous as that of a father towards his son.
Now that they were about to part ways, Aotian felt a bit reluctant.
Seeing the reluctance on Aotian's face, Xiao Ya stepped forward and patted Aotian's shoulder, playfully scolding him:
"Alright, it's not like we're parting for life and death, so what's there to be reluctant about? I'm leaving now!"
Although Xiao Ya hid it very well, Aotian could still sense the tremor and reluctance in his voice.
Immediately, Xiao Ya cupped his hands towards the Xiao Brothers and shot off like an arrow towards the direction of Desolate City.
"Three of you, this is where we part ways. Until we meet again!"
Aotian cupped his hands towards the Xiao Brothers and said.
The three Xiao brothers nodded with smiles and also cupped their hands towards Aotian. They then watched as Aotian and Snow Qincheng disappeared over the horizon.
"Second brother, third brother, let's return to Mystic Spirit Town. The two overlords in Mystic Spirit Town have fallen; we need to step in and clean up the aftermath..."
At night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. The cool moonlight spread across the land, draping two young figures on a hillside in a mysterious veil.
These two were a man and a woman; the man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. At this moment, they were roasting a wild rabbit over a campfire.
"Xue Qingcheng, tell me about what's going on in Xuantian Academy," Aotian suddenly asked Snow Qincheng.
Snow Qincheng nodded. Since Aotian wanted to join Xuantian Academy, he certainly needed to understand matters within the academy. Otherwise, if he arrived there as a complete novice, it would be quite embarrassing.
"Xuantian Academy is located in the imperial city of Fengyun Nation. Every year, the academy recruits students from outside. In another month, it will be time for this year's new student recruitment."
"There are tens of thousands of Students in the academy, and the Students are strictly categorized by rank. From lowest to highest, they are Outer Academy Students, Inner Academy Students, and Core Students."
"Outer Academy Students number in the tens of thousands, but they cannot gain the attention of the academy's higher-ups. They can only cultivate some of the most basic techniques and martial arts."
"There are over a thousand Inner Academy Students. They can gain the attention of the academy's higher-ups and learn some quite advanced techniques and martial arts. If they contribute to the academy, they can also receive generous rewards such as pills and weapons."
"There are only Seventy-Two Core Students, but each one possesses talent that can be described as monstrous. From a certain perspective, Core Students are the elite of the academy."
"However, becoming a Core Student is extremely difficult; not only must one have outstanding talent, but their background must also be impeccable. After all, Core Students are too important. If we were to cultivate an undercover agent from another faction, wouldn't that be a huge loss for our academy?"
"Therefore, whenever a Student aims to advance to a Core Student, the dean personally oversees the process. Even I am currently just an Inner Academy Student. Now you can imagine how difficult it is to become a Core Student."
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but click his tongue. It seemed that receiving Cheng Yuanshan's recommendation was indeed like winning the lottery.
"By the way, Xue Qingcheng, after graduating from Xuantian Academy, students should still be free to choose their path, right?"
"Of course! After graduation, you can freely choose to leave or stay."
Hearing Snow Qincheng's words, Aotian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He certainly didn't want to sell himself out for some techniques or martial arts.
However, after learning that Xuantian Academy would not force anyone to stay, Aotian couldn't help but feel a deep respect for this academy.
From Snow Qincheng's brief remarks, Aotian understood that this academy did not have ambitions for dominance; they simply aimed to allow more talented individuals to realize their potential and not be overlooked.
In today's world, where the strong prey on the weak, it is truly remarkable that Xuantian Academy can maintain such a transcendent attitude.
"But..."
After seeing Snow Qincheng's hesitance, Aotian immediately asked, "But what?"
"But if you become a Core Student and choose to leave after graduation, you must swear in front of all the Students that if Xuantian Academy has not provoked you, you can never trouble Xuantian Academy. If you break this oath, you will be despised by all the Students. Moreover, Xuantian Academy will go to any lengths to hunt you down until you meet your demise!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian felt a slight shock in his heart; he could understand Xuantian Academy's reasoning behind such actions.
A Core Student undoubtedly holds a high status within the academy, and one cannot maintain such status without strength. Therefore, those Core Students must all possess Heaven-Defying abilities. If these Students were to trouble Xuantian Academy after graduation, it would undoubtedly suffer significant losses.
In this light, it is entirely reasonable for Xuantian Academy to require Core Students to make such an oath upon graduation.
"By the way, how strong are those Core Students?" Aotian asked curiously.
Upon hearing Aotian's question, Snow Qincheng's face immediately filled with deep admiration as she replied, "The weakest among the Seventy-Two Core Disciples has the cultivation of Human Spirit Realm, while the strongest can even rival warriors of Earth Spirit Realm!"
Hearing Snow Qincheng's words, Aotian nearly jumped up in surprise and exclaimed:
"How is that possible?!"
"How could it not be possible? If anyone could become a Core Disciple, then there wouldn't be so many people vying to join our academy. The most important thing is that there are Seventy-Two Core Students, which is an unbreakable rule. This means that once one Student is promoted to Core Student, another must leave their position! No Student would willingly give up this position, so the Student aiming to become a Core Student must defeat a Veteran Core Disciple to take their place!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian's expression darkened completely as he said, "Are you telling me I have to defeat a Core Student?"
The weakest among the Core Students are at the Human Spirit Realm, and if he went up against them, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
"Don't worry about that. The Elder arranged it this way because he wants to change the Seventy-Two Core Students to Seventy-Three. You won't have to challenge them; you can easily become a Core Student," Snow Qincheng said, her tone tinged with envy.
However, Aotian slowly shook his head and said solemnly, "I will never follow the Elder's advice to become a Core Student!"
