Chapter 447 - Being Young is Truly Great

On an unnamed Mountain Summit, Zhao Li sat cross-legged in the Sea of Clouds, looking like a celestial being.

He had finished sorting through the information brought by All Deities and already had a Plan.

Although the Journey to the West was just a spontaneous and willful Plan he came up with on the fly, he certainly didn't want it to fail.

As early as when he was with the Snake People Tribe, he had Yao Chen bring Xiao Yan to the Black Corner Region, treating it as a Trial Grounds. If Xiao Yan could handle the Black Corner Region properly, then the subsequent matters shouldn't be a big problem—Zhao Li had essentially plowed the entire Continent based on the Black Corner Region's template!

Now, it was just a matter of seeing how well Xiao Yan would score in this test.

"Don't disappoint me..."

In the Sea of Clouds, Zhao Li murmured softly, then stood up and took a step forward. Like a Teacher preparing to grade students' test papers, filled with both anticipation and doubt, he departed from the Northwestern Continent!

Northwestern Continent, Black Corner Region, Jia Nan Academy. It had been established in the Black Corner Region for over four hundred years. In the eyes of the various Major Powers, it was naturally nothing special, but in the eyes of the many second and third-rate forces around the Black Corner Region, it was a desirable place, and they were very willing to send their Juniors there for Cultivation.

After all, young people are easily influenced by their environment, and Jia Nan Academy was almost the easiest place for them to encounter Geniuses who were no less talented than themselves.

Moreover, the academy was also a place where these second and third-rate forces engaged in competition. While in the academy, even if there were differences between people, the gap wouldn't be very large, and they would still have opportunities to make friends. If they were lucky, a friend might encounter a fortunate opportunity and Soar to the Sky, and they could also benefit from it. Although such things were rare, they did happen.

If the above was just an investment, then what follows was Genuine Fleecing. Although they didn't say it out loud, they all hoped that someone would perform exceptionally well and bring the Foundation of Jia Nan Academy, such as Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, back to their own families. Within the allowed Rules, giving it a try was something no one could criticize.

Jia Nan Academy certainly knew about these things, but they still opened their Gate wide, welcoming Geniuses from all sides. Of course, they weren't fools. For them, what they invested was essentially just a platform and some Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that could be produced in Quantity for them. As for the administrators, most of them were actually former students, and the resources that students needed could be obtained from the students themselves by issuing some tasks, and then used for the students...

In short, both sides believed they wouldn't suffer a loss. One was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit. This was why Jia Nan Academy existed in the Northwestern Continent as a seemingly selfless force that put in effort without getting much in return, but the benefits within were probably only known to Jia Nan Academy itself...

Of course, perhaps others in other places also tried to imitate it, but they didn't have the Strength and resources like Mang Tianchi, nor did they have a natural treasure like the Fallen Heart Flame. In short, they didn't amount to much. Before Zhao Li, Jia Nan Academy could be said to be the only decent university in the Northwestern Continent.

Recently, this university in another world was quite lively. Nothing else, the Inner Academy selection competition for this year had begun.

Strictly speaking, the Jia Nan Outer Academy was actually just a place for Little Guys around eighteen years old at the Dou Disciple level to study, much like high school. And this Inner Academy selection competition was like the college entrance exam. After a few years of study, these young people would showcase their learning achievements in hopes of entering the Inner Academy. This Inner Academy selection competition could be said to be a major event for Jia Nan Academy, naturally attracting a lot of attention.

After all, in this selection competition, the prominent figures who were usually in the academy would all make an appearance. For the young people in the academy, being able to see some role models or idols in their hearts, or even objects of affection at this youthful age, was a huge attraction.

These past few days, even though the academy had already prepared the largest Plaza in the academy as a backup, it was still packed with people. Countless students of Jia Nan Academy squeezed their way into the seats on the Plaza. Looking out from the stands, all they could see were dense crowds of people and the clamor that soared to the sky, watching the man and woman fighting in the Plaza.

The two figures flickered and intertwined, and the fierce Dou Qi fluctuations that erupted when their palms met caused exclamations to burst from the surrounding stands from time to time. Not long after, the graceful figure in a light green dress, whose delicate body flickered with lightness and elegance, seemed to sense something. She suddenly paused, and the Golden Light between her palms greatly intensified, bringing forth a beam of light that accurately struck the young man's chest. The strong force directly sent the latter retreating out of the battle circle.

"Senior, thank you for the match!"

After defeating her opponent with one strike, Xun'er cupped her fists and smiled. Without waiting for the person to reply, or even for the referee to announce the winner, she had already turned around and swept off the competition grounds. It was only then that a loud shout came from the referee's platform, and the result once again drew cheers from the many spectators.

Ignoring the burning gazes directed at her, Xun'er jogged into the specially arranged stands and greeted a gentle, Water-like, well-rounded woman with a smile: "Instructor Ruolin."

Then she turned her gaze to a group of girls next to the stands and smiled: "Cousin Xiao Yu."

Instructor Ruolin was not surprised to see Xun'er easily defeat an opponent who was a Nine Star Dou Master and already a star figure in the Outer Academy. She had shown such performance a year ago, but last year, she had forfeited the final stage of the Inner Academy selection competition. Instructor Ruolin knew what she was waiting for, but she really didn't want Xun'er to waste her Talent during the golden Years of Cultivation. She could only speak up to persuade her:

"Xun'er, this time, don't waste the opportunity again. With your Strength, studying in the Outer Academy is of no use to you anymore. Continuing to stay in the Outer Academy will only needlessly waste your Talent. You..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xun'er:

"I want to wait for him."

Hearing this, the beautiful girl in a light purple academy uniform next to Xun'er also walked over with a smile and sighed:

"Xun'er, who knows when that bad Little Guy will come, and even if he does come, he has missed over a year of Cultivation Time. He... It's really not a good Method for you to keep waiting like this..."

"I believe him!"

Xun'er knew what Xiao Yu hadn't finished saying, but she believed in Xiao Yan. She smiled slightly and answered without hesitation.

The two were not surprised by Xun'er's answer. Seeing her like this, the two didn't know what else to say and could only sigh softly. Then Xiao Yu said fiercely:

"I don't know what that guy is doing. He said he would only take a year off, but now it's been a full two years, and he's missed it every time..."

Speaking of Xiao Yan, Instructor Ruolin also joined in, snorting coldly:

"Hmph, today is the selection competition. If he misses it again and makes me miss my promotion, I'll make him pay..."

Hearing this, Xun'er gently shook Instructor Ruolin's arm and lowered her head, no longer speaking. Seeing this, Instructor Ruolin was helpless. Of course, what she said was out of anger, but this anger wasn't for herself, but for Xun'er. She sighed softly:

"Silly Girl, alas, being young is truly wonderful..."

Amidst the low whispers of the few people, three more rounds of battles had passed in the Plaza. In the fourth round, a familiar name entered their ears, causing them to stop their conversation and look up at the competition arena:

"Next match, Mysterious Tier Class Three's Xue Beng, against Yellow Tier Class Two's... Xiao Yan!"
