"These mountain peaks..."
Jiang Chen carefully scrutinized those mountain peaks. Though he could not take in all of them at once, what he could see was enough to spark a small suspicion in his mind.
"Figured it out? All the peaks in this academy are comprised of multiple formations, and when all the peaks are connected, they form an impressive gigantic formation."
Su Qingluan whispered in Jiang Chen’s ear.
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered with understanding, and he attempted to deduce it, but suddenly he felt dizzy and his body involuntarily tumbled to the side.
"Be careful, don’t try to deduce those formations. The weakest formations here are Saint Formations, aning they can contend with a Saint, sothing beyond your current capabilities!"
Su Qingluan seed to have anticipated Jiang Chen’s actions and was prepared in advance. Seeing Jiang Chen’s face turn pale, she imdiately reached out to steady him.
"Saint Formation!"
A flash of astonishnt crossed Jiang Chen’s eyes as he gazed fervently at those mountain peaks.
"Once you pass the academy tournant, co find . I can truly introduce you to the world of Spirit Arrays. Right now, you’re just starting out!"
Su Qingluan smiled gently and let Jiang Chen go.
Jiang Chen nodded heavily. The more he studied, the more he enjoyed Spirit Arrays, the feeling of freely communicating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth profoundly deepening his insights into Dao cultivation.
The wind gradually quieted down beside him as Ouyang Song led a group of flying boats to land on a vast square, where three groups of people had already arrived. Judging by the scale, they appeared to be students from the other three branch academies.
The flying boat landed, and everyone leaped off.
"Please wait here for a mont."
Ouyang Song instructed, then turned and headed towards a place on the square where so main academy individuals were.
"Jiang Chen, sothing interesting is about to happen."
Su Qingluan gave Jiang Chen a mysterious smile and turned to follow Ouyang Song.
"Sothing interesting?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, looking puzzled at Su Qingluan’s back.
"The competition between the branch academies is about to begin!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke softly.
"Competition? Competing for what?"
All the Changlin Academy people, including Jiang Chen, heard this and looked at Hu Yiqiu, puzzled.
"Competing for people!"
Hu Yiqiu whispered, "The heads of each branch academy will have the ranking scores of students from the four regions. They can start recruiting anyone they value in the one hour that follows, and anyone willing to join their ranks will receive certain resources."
"Isn’t this considered betraying the academy?"
Jiang Chen frowned deeply.
"It’s not considered betrayal."
Jian Cangqiong turned to Jiang Chen, "If people from other primary academies enter a branch academy, they can participate in the academy tournant bearing the nas of both the branch academy and the primary academy. After winning in the tournant, they will still receive the corresponding rewards. The students from primary academies will earn rewards for their original academy and bring fa to the branch academy."
"Therefore, within this one hour, people from each branch academy will try to recruit outstanding students from other primary academies, and so might even recruit students from other branch academies, entirely by choice."
"Though the students here still bear the nas of their primary academies, they are, in essence, already considered part of Changling Academy. So there’s no talk of betrayal."
Jiang Chen was taken aback, although he still found it difficult to accept such recruitnt. However, he understood this approach. Perhaps the main academy did it deliberately to test an academy’s cohesion and the influence of that branch academy in its region.
Eyes twinkling, Jiang Chen turned to look at a few of the students from Fengchen Academy who had passed the assessnt.
After Jiang Chen’s intervention, Fengchen Academy only had Feng Qingyang left. Yet now, there were three people here; the other two had seized two spots.
"Feng Qingyang, would you like to join us? You won’t lack your academy’s resources and fa, and you can learn better here."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly at Feng Qingyang.
Hu Yiqiu and others paused for a mont, then smiled. Jiang Chen was recruiting on behalf of Jian Cangqiong.
Feng Qingyang was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the principal of Fengchen Academy.
This approach didn’t harm these primary academies, only affecting the branch academies.
"What benefits could he gain by moving over?"
The principal of Fengchen Academy gave Jiang Chen a casual glance.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "I can train him in controlling his own power. The senior can ask my master about this!"
The Fengchen Academy principal was slightly surprised, raising his head to look at Hu Yiqiu.
Hu Yiqiu smiled, "Old Feng, let show you sothing."
As he extended his hand, a wisp of spiritual power appeared in Hu Yiqiu’s hand, followed by a trace of Sword Dao power, and then a wisp of Water Dao power of the Great Dao.
The aura exuded by these three forces was of the Late Integration Realm, and Hu Yiqiu, having just broken through to the Integration Realm Peak, could not completely control its aura.
Buzz!
Under the gaze of Fengchen Academy’s principal, the three forces in Hu Yiqiu’s hand slowly rged, ultimately unified into a single force, and the aura of that force had already reached the strength of a Integration Realm Peak expert.
"How... how is this possible? How can you rge to this extent!?"
The principal of Fengchen Academy exclaid in shock.
"To achieve power fusion, most importantly, one must elevate the control of their own power to a certain level, and Young Jiang has a way to help a few people improve their power control. Old Feng, whether your disciple can earn this extrely rare opportunity depends on you!"
Hu Yiqiu laughed and spoke.
Buzz buzz!
As soon as Hu Yiqiu finished speaking, two more auras erged, Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng stretched out their hands, showcasing their own power and then rging them!
"This, this..."
The Principal of Fengchen Academy was utterly shocked, staring dumbfoundedly at the force in Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng’s hands. Though their fusion wasn’t as perfect as Hu Yiqiu’s, it was undoubtedly far superior to their peers in the sa realm. This kind of fusion might not an an imdiate boost in combat power, but it is the most fundantal cultivation of power, far surpassing those so-called resources intended to boost cultivation!
Phew!
With a deep breath, the principal of Fengchen Academy gently nudged Feng Qingyang, "Go ahead."
Hesitation flickered in Feng Qingyang’s eyes, and then he nodded lightly, stepping forward to stand behind Jiang Chen.
Several students, witnessing the scene around Jiang Chen and others, looked at Jiang Chen with burning gazes, hoping to be chosen by him. After all, this wouldn’t harm their academy, and they could gain such benefits; everyone wished to be selected.
Satisfied with a chuckle, Jiang Chen thought that if Feng Qingyang hadn’t hesitated at all and just rushed over, he would have dismissed the fellow.
