The academy exchange had come to an end.
Once again, the Southern Region's Hidden Dao Academy seized the top spot.
And this time, they did it even with the Main Academy competing.
This victory carried way more weight than any year before.
Qin Tiannan wore a calm smile, his expression the picture of composure.
But deep down, he was absolutely ecstatic.
All five had won every match.
They'd crushed the other academies in overwhelming fashion.
Qin Tiannan naturally earned greater respect and overtures from many factions.
Even Dean Yan personally received Qin Tiannan afterward.
And promised to funnel more resources toward the Southern Region's Hidden Dao Academy.
He wasn't interested in the Southern Region's Hidden Dao Academy itself.
His real focus was on The Cottage.
This, Qin Tiannan understood all too well.
Before Hong Ying left,
Leaving Home Sect and the Alchemy Sect both expressed their support for the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
