"Does Dean Xin not have any intention of participating? Tomorrow is the final deadline for registration."
"I've already participated." Xin said lightly.
Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment: "I checked the participant list before I came, and there's no mention of Heart of Fire Academy on it?"
"Oh, I registered nearby on my way back."
Xin smiled, "But I also have to thank School Master Ning for helping me register the academy directly in Heaven Dou City beforehand. Otherwise, my Heart of Fire Academy is in a remote location, and the number of teachers and students wouldn't meet the Empire's academy standards."
To participate in the Soul Master Competition, an academy must first be officially recognized by the Empire, which has requirements for the academy's scale, the number of teachers and students, and teacher qualifications. Not just anyone can open an academy.
Although Xin's students were of extremely high quality, and his teaching level was far beyond that of ordinary Spirit Masters, the entire academy only had six or seven people. Let alone an academy, it would barely qualify as private lessons or a tutoring class.
If it weren't for Ning Fengzhi's behind-the-scenes support, it would indeed have been quite troublesome.
Hearing that Xin had already registered, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with joy:
"Really?"
"Yes." Xin nodded.
"That's great! I'm really looking forward to the moment Heart of Fire Academy wins the championship, and I'm also looking forward to Rongrong's performance."
Ning Fengzhi stood up happily:
"Dean Xin, the registration of Heart of Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy was personally overseen by me and directly recorded in Heaven Dou City. Therefore, the preliminaries should be held in the Heaven Dou City division. I have already prepared a detached villa for the Heart of Fire teachers and students to rest in. Please, Dean Xin, do not decline."
"School Master Ning, you are very thoughtful."
"Dean Xin, there's no need to be polite with me. The two weapon manufacturing methods you taught our Sect have given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a second life, compensating for our Sect's shortcomings. To me, Dean Xin is not only Rongrong's teacher but also the benefactor of our Sect. This small matter is nothing to mention."
Ning Fengzhi, if nothing else, was certainly generous when it came to spending money.
"Then, Dean Xin, we'll see each other in Heaven Dou City in three days."
