Spirit Hall Academy.
This is one of the top academies on the entire continent, located in Wuhun City.
It is directly under the jurisdiction of Spirit Hall.
Unlike Shrek Academy, which only recruits monsters, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy, which only recruit nobles.
The recruitment here is open to Soul Masters from all over the continent.
Even if your innate spirit power is only level one, your awakened Martial Soul is very poor, or your status is very ordinary, you can still enroll.
The academy also provides monthly subsidies, and you don't have to worry about where to go after graduation; you can work directly in the many branch halls under Spirit Hall's jurisdiction across the continent.
Not only that.
Spirit Hall Academy covers an extremely vast area.
Although it is located in Wuhun City, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
It has all kinds of landscapes such as forests, lakes, and foothills, and the environment is exceptionally beautiful.
The educational resources are also the best on the continent.
In other academies, the teachers are basically Spirit Kings or Spirit Emperors, with the highest being a Spirit Saint.
But for Spirit Hall Academy, a Spirit Saint is just the starting point.
After all, the academy's top administrator is Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo whose cultivation has reached that level; she directly participates in determining the academy's planning.
Here, low-level Titled Douluos serve as your mentors, Spirit Douluos as your sparring partners, and Spirit Saints teach you theoretical knowledge.
As for Spirit Emperors and Spirit Kings, sorry, they are only fit to guard the gate.
There are also various mimicked cultivation environments, numbering in the hundreds.
Yet, for such a top-tier institution, recruitment is exceptionally difficult.
Only a few hundred people can be recruited each year.
The reason is also very simple: Spirit Hall is not a nation, but just a faction.
Coupled with the lack of information and the deliberate smear campaigns and suppression by the Two Great Empires, ordinary people know very little about Spirit Hall Academy.
Of course, there is one more important factor.
Spirit Hall is not a charity; it's impossible for them to spend such great value training you only for you to leave and join a hostile faction to deal with Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall would never do something so foolish.
Therefore, Spirit Hall Academy has a rule: once you join the academy, you must pledge lifelong loyalty to Spirit Hall and must not betray it.
Once you betray them, you will be hunted down by a Titled Douluo.
Half an hour later.
Golden Crown arrived at the gate of Spirit Hall Academy.
"That damn old geezer, he didn't even see me off to school, claiming it was for training and independence."
"Pah, he clearly just didn't want to take me."
After complaining for a bit, he looked up at Spirit Hall Academy.
What met his eyes was a gatehouse made of white jade, a full twenty meters high.
At the top of the gatehouse was a statue made of pure gold, depicting the Seraphim, the Martial Soul passed down by the Angel Clan.
Flags hung on both the left and right sides of the gatehouse.
The pattern on the left flag consisted of a sword, a hammer, a dragon, a chrysanthemum, a ghost, and a crown.
The pattern on the right flag was roughly the same as the left, with the only difference being that the final crown pattern was replaced by a Seraphim.
While Golden Crown was looking around, a blue-haired Spirit Saint with spirit power around level seventy jogged out.
He was the teacher arranged by Jin E to welcome Golden Crown to the academy.
"You must be Young Master Golden Crown."
"I am the teacher responsible for your enrollment. Didn't you bring your luggage?"
"Luggage? I've put it away."
"I see."
The blue-haired Spirit Saint cursed himself for being slow-witted; the grandson of such a great figure would definitely have a spirit tool for storage.
He then hurriedly led Golden Crown into the school.
Past the school gate was a wide avenue.
Various types of vegetation were planted on both sides of the road.
Walking forward a few hundred meters, there was a huge square with a massive Seraphim stone statue fountain in the center.
Buildings stood tall all around.
After walking for a while, Golden Crown finally reached the teaching building.
Although he was a new transfer student, his special status meant the enrollment procedures went very quickly.
The blue-haired Spirit Saint respectfully handed the brand-new student ID to Golden Crown and said with a smile, "Young Master Golden Crown, I will take you to the dormitory first, and then to your class."
Taking the student ID, Golden Crown asked curiously, "Speaking of classes, which class have I been assigned to?"
"The Supreme Pontiff has given word; a genius like you is naturally assigned to the Intermediate Academy's Elite Class."
Although Spirit Hall Academy recruits Soul Masters from all over the continent.
It also categorizes Soul Masters' talents for teaching purposes internally.
Those with innate spirit power levels one to three are assigned to the Ordinary Class, levels four to six to the Top Class, and levels seven to ten to the Elite Class.
Compared to the ordinary and top classes, the Elite Class enjoys the best resources and treatment from the academy.
They have priority access to the best mimicked cultivation environments, the best teachers, and a higher status than students in the other two classes.
Of course, these are not set in stone; if you can demonstrate enough talent and value later on, you can be promoted.
Additionally, Spirit Hall Academy is divided into Junior, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
It is therefore divided into three areas.
Junior Academy students are generally between levels one and twenty; the graduation requirement is to reach level twenty and obtain a second Soul Ring.
Intermediate Academy students are between levels twenty and thirty; the graduation requirement is to reach level thirty and obtain a third Soul Ring.
Advanced Academy students are between levels thirty and forty; the graduation requirement is to reach level forty and obtain a fourth Soul Ring.
Of course, the above conditions only apply to the ordinary and top classes; the requirements for the Elite Class are even stricter.
After all, they enjoy the academy's best teaching resources; if they fail to meet the requirements, they will be demoted to a lower class.
Arriving at the Intermediate Academy dormitory building.
Elite Class students enjoy single rooms.
Rather than a single room, it was more like a small villa.
Golden Crown took his luggage out of the System Space and arranged it.
Then he followed the blue-haired Spirit Saint to his assigned class.
At this time, inside the Elite Class.
Yan sat in front of Hu Liena's desk with a peeled apple.
"Nana, want an apple? I specifically peeled it for you."
"No, take it away."
Hu Liena refused without even looking up.
Her mood hadn't been good since she was defeated by Golden Crown last time.
Not to mention that the training volume for the three of them had increased several times since then, and it was personally supervised by Chrysanthemum Douluo.
These past few days, they were trained until they collapsed almost every day.
"Don't be unhappy, Nana. It's just one Golden Crown. We were just careless last time; we'll definitely beat him up next time."
"By the way, I heard that a new student is transferring to our class today. Should we give him a show of strength later?"
Xie Yue walked over: "I agree. New students are usually very arrogant. Let's suppress his ego and vent some of the frustration we've built up over these past few days."
"I'm not interested," Hu Liena said, then looked out the window.
Soon, as a Spirit Douluo entered the classroom.
Eighteen students quickly took their seats.
After announcing that a new student would be transferring in, the Spirit Douluo left.
Just as Yan and Xie Yue were gathering a few followers to discuss how to give the newcomer a show of strength.
Golden Crown walked in, following a Titled Douluo...
