The Dragon-Tiger Contest of Xuantian Academy is held for the Inner Academy Students every three years and is considered one of the few grand events in the entire Fengyun Nation.
During the Dragon-Tiger Contest, the top forces within Fengyun Nation come to watch. After all, Xuantian Academy is known as the "Cradle of Genius," and those top forces want to see how they compare to Xuantian Academy.
For outstanding students like Aotian, the Dragon-Tiger Contest is even more important, as any student who stands out in the contest can become a Core Student of Xuantian Academy.
Of course, becoming a Core Student is extremely difficult. Not only must one rank in the top three of the Dragon-Tiger Contest, but it is also crucial to defeat the older generation of Core Students. Only then can one replace that person's position and become the new generation of Core Students.
When Aotian and his group arrived at the imperial city, there were less than three days left until the Dragon-Tiger Contest began. They did not linger and headed straight for Xuantian Academy.
From a distance, Aotian and his companions saw rows of massive buildings. The structures towered into the sky, exuding a vast and majestic aura.
Looking at the large gate engraved with the words "Xuantian Academy," Aotian couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
It had been nearly half a year since he left Xuantian Academy, and returning here now gave Aotian a sense of coming home.
At the same time, Aotian was secretly astonished by the hidden power of Xuantian Academy. If he felt this way, other students must feel it too.
Thinking about it, there are at least thousands of students graduating from Xuantian Academy each year. Although these graduates go their separate ways, they surely have Xuantian Academy in their hearts.
If one day Xuantian Academy encounters any danger, these graduates would likely be the first to stand up to protect the interests of the academy.
Some of them serve as officials in the court, some as generals outside, some are local tyrants, while others remain hidden…
Undeniably, these individuals possess remarkable abilities. If Xuantian Academy were to call upon them, they would probably respond en masse!
This suggests that if Xuantian Academy wanted to support an emperor or a king, it would likely only take a thought from those at the academy's higher echelons.
At the same time, Aotian understood why even top forces like Azure Cloud Sect and Ice River Sect hold some fear towards Xuantian Academy.
Just these hidden powers alone are enough to make those top forces wary, not to mention the monstrous figures within Xuantian Academy who remain out of sight.
Thinking about this made Aotian unconsciously recall the Underworld Society. This hidden force truly gives people headaches, especially since even the powerful Xuantian Academy seems somewhat apprehensive towards it. This only deepened Aotian's concern about the strength of the Underworld Society.
Being able to hold their ground against Xuantian Academy and not fall behind is enough to demonstrate that the strength of the Underworld Society is likely formidable.
While Aotian was lost in thought, gazing at the grand Xuantian Academy, Niu Geng nudged him and said, "Boss, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go in!"
Aotian let out a light sigh, temporarily casting aside his thoughts, and pulled the curious Xiao Hong'er into the academy.
The Student on Gatekeeping duty saw Aotian and his group approaching and immediately displayed a look of respect, saying reverently, "Senior Aotian, Senior Han Kong, Senior Niu Geng, you have finally returned. It seems that this Dragon-Tiger Contest will have some variables due to your presence."
Aotian chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, junior. I hope your good wishes come true, and we can make our mark in the Dragon-Tiger Contest."
"Absolutely!" The Student flatteringly escorted Aotian and the others into the academy.
Another Student on Gatekeeping duty noticed Aotian holding a little girl’s hand and was about to step forward to stop them but was halted by the Student congratulating Aotian.
Once Aotian's group had walked far away, the congratulating Student let out a heavy sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and scolded the other Student quietly, "Little Erzi, do you want to get yourself killed? How dare you block Senior Aotian's way?"
"Boss, there are rules at Xuantian Academy. Non-students are not allowed inside. That little girl clearly isn't one of our students; why did you stop me from intercepting her?" Little Erzi asked in confusion.
The other Student slapped Little Erzi on the head in frustration and scolded him, "What kind of person is Senior Aotian? Do you really think he would bring in someone harmful? Maybe Senior Aotian wants to nurture that little girl! We need to build a good relationship with her; she might rise above us in just a few years!"
"Not... not that scary, right? That little girl probably finds it hard to surpass us, after all, we've been in martial arts for many years!" Little Erzi said quietly.
Another Student sighed and said with a hint of envy, "That depends on who is teaching her. Senior Aotian is currently very prominent in Fengyun Nation, and his strength is unmatched among the younger generation of Fengyun Nation. Even the top Luo Yiqiang might not be a match for Senior Aotian. You think someone taught by such a person would be easy to handle?"
Little Erzi stuck out his tongue, speechless...
Aotian naturally did not know that after he left, the two Students were discussing him. But even if he knew, he would probably just smile it off.
After all, the higher one stands, the broader their perspective becomes. It would be unreasonable to say he would make a big fuss over two Gatekeeping disciples.
"Aotian, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave. If you need anything, come find me at my courtyard," Han Kong said to Aotian upon arriving at the academy.
Aotian nodded and replied, "If Senior Han Kong has matters to attend to, I won't hold you back."
Han Kong smiled and vanished like a ghost in an instant.
"Let's go see how the Starry Radiance Society has developed," Aotian said to Niu Geng and Xiao Hong'er.
Then the three of them headed towards a large courtyard.
As they approached the courtyard, a voice filled with excitement rang out: "Boss, you're back!"
Aotian turned to the side, and the faces of He Dan and He Wu immediately came into view.
"He Dan, He Wu!"
Seeing the two, Aotian's face showed a look of joy.
"Boss, boss, you're back! If you didn't come back soon, it would have been tough for me!"
Ying Tianrui led a group of Starry Radiance Society members rushing towards Aotian.
"Tian Rui, I know it's been hard for you to develop the Starry Radiance Society while I was away!" Aotian approached and asked.
Ying Tianrui quickly replied, "It's not hard. It's you who has it tough out there!"
"You knew about it?" Aotian smiled wryly.
"Not only do I know, but the entire Xuantian Academy's students know as well. Because of that, many who admire you have come to join the Starry Radiance Society. Our Starry Radiance Society has reached another peak in its development..."
