858: Episode 40 Dark Tower Coronation Chapter 274 Academy Warmth (Part 1) 858: Episode 40 Dark Tower Coronation Chapter 274 Academy Warmth (Part 1) The Qin City Army had all appeared outside the Milan Magic Martial Academy.
The reason they hadn’t flown directly into the academy was Ye Yinzhu’s respect for the Milan Magic Martial Academy, his alma mater!
At that moment, Haiyang, Sura, and Li Sha had just stepped out from the Zither Emperor’s ship.
Suddenly seeing the appearance of three stunningly beautiful women, the prior silence was replaced by tumult.
Among the male students of the Milan Magic Martial Academy, a wave of envy surged, and as for the female students, they were greatly disappointed.
Although Haiyang and Sura had concealed their faces, their figures and Li Sha’s striking beauty left little to the imagination.
Silvio walked up to Ye Yinzhu, speaking in a voice only he could hear, “Thank you, Yin Zhu.
I came here only for one reason, to thank you on behalf of Milan, and for myself.
You pulled Milan back from the brink of collapse.”
“Uncle’s care for me all those years ago, Yin Zhu has never forgotten.
Qin City will always be Milan’s best partner.”
Silvio laughed heartily, “Good, with those words, I am satisfied.
All right, I must go back now.
It’s not good to be discovered.
Once you settle down here, if you have time, e to visit Milan City.
Uncle will wele you at the Imperial Palace.
Oh, by the way, after Xiang Luan and Granny Nina went to Qin City to congratulate you on your wedding, did anything happen?
I mean, did she meet with anyone special?”
Ye Yinzhu, somewhat bewildered, said, “Elder Sister Xiang Luan?
After we repelled the Dragon Clan, she and Granny Nina left the academy without saying goodbye that very night.
It was strange.”
Silvio’s gaze grew more peculiar, and he sighed softly, “All right, let’s leave it at that for now.
I must return.
Uncle waits for you at the Imperial Palace.”
After all, he was a monarch.
The situation on the Continent had just stabilized, and there were many matters he needed to address.
After a brief conversation with Ye Yinzhu, he was quietly escorted away by numerous guards.
Dean Fergerson acpanied Ye Yinzhu and the others directly into the academy, while the Qin City Warriors were naturally handled by the academy’s teachers.
The Milan Magic Martial Academy seemed unchanged.
Although moving forward surrounded by a crowd, Ye Yinzhu could still feel the distinct silence that belonged to the academy.
The various plants had already begun to thrive luxuriously in this late spring, and the fresh air was soothing to the body.
Every path here was so familiar; although Yin Zhu could not see, that familiar feeling made his eyes warm.
The last time he had e here was just before the eve of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle.
At that time, he had never thought he wouldn’t be able to return.
Years had passed.
He had changed, but the academy was still the same, like his second home.
“Senior, could you tell us how to bee powerful like you, to bee a hero of the Empire?” a bold student shouted out.
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “Well, as a member of the academy, I didn’t bring any gifts, but later, I will share my cultivation experiences with everyone.
Teacher, is that acceptable?” His last sentence was directed at Fergerson.
Fergerson smiled and said, “Of course, we’d love that.
The guidance you can offer these kids will greatly benefit their future cultivation paths.”
Under Fergerson’s lead, Ye Yinzhu, his couple of spouses, and Li Sha were arranged to stay together in acmodations, and since Li Sha was with them, nobody knew if His Excellency the Zither Emperor was with two or three spouses, so the academy had directly arranged for them to stay together.
The place they stayed was the villa Ye Yinzhu and Sura had lived in originally, which greatly surprised Ye Yinzhu.
Although it was a tight fit for four people in one villa, there was no place Ye Yinzhu would rather stay.
He felt as if he was reliving the carefree college days.
How wonderful it would be if it were still like that?
Time changes everything; the world was different now, their identities, abilities, and responsibilities had all changed.
But returning here still made Ye Yinzhu feel incredibly fortable, which was why he had decided to return to the academy.
Since Sura was already pregnant, Ye Yinzhu let the three women rest in the villa, while Fergerson had the teachers quickly make arrangements.
After a brief rest, Ye Yinzhu, acpanied by many teachers, walked out of the villa and directly went to the academy’s largest square.
Because of what Ye Yinzhu had said earlier, at this moment, the entire Plaza One was swarming with people.
Almost all the students of the academy had gathered here, excitedly awaiting the arrival of their idol.
Before even stepping onto the stage, Ye Yinzhu could already feel the warmth of the students’ enthusiasm, with countless people shouting his name.
Returning in triumph, this unorthodox feeling was irreplaceable by anything else, just as Ye Yinzhu had said, everyone has their vanity, and he was no exception.
In such an atmosphere, feelings of satisfaction and excitement simultaneously surged within him.
“Hello, junior brothers and sisters.
I am Ye Yinzhu.” For some reason, facing the enemy’s vast forces never stirred his emotions, but now he actually felt a bit nervous.
“Ye Yinzhu, Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu, Zither Emperor…” The shouts rose and fell, reaching a climax.
“It is an honor to be able to return to my alma mater, to the academy.
Just now, when I entered the academy, it was as though I had returned to the past,” Ye Yinzhu remarked nostalgically, his words ing straight from the heart.
At this moment, the students quickly quieted down, countless gazes fixating on Ye Yinzhu, listening intently.
“Here, I must first thank the academy for its nurturing, for without the academy, there would be no me today.
Also, I owe my gratitude to my teacher, Dean Fergerson, whose selfless teachings enabled my magic to advance by leaps and bounds.
And to Director Nina of the Divine Music Department and all the other teachers, Ye Yinzhu has never forgotten your help.”
After saying this, Ye Yinzhu turned around and bowed deeply to the teachers sitting on the stage beside him.
The applause surged like a tide, and Ye Yinzhu had already started imparting lessons to the students, unseen.
Turning back to face the students below the stage, Ye Yinzhu raised his hands, and the scene quieted down once again.
Taking a deep breath to calm the slight nervousness in his heart, Ye Yinzhu’s face revealed a hint of a smile, “Just now a junior brother asked me how one can bee as powerful as me, a hero of the empire.”
The atmosphere was still intense, yet extremely quiet, with the students even controlling the sound of their breathing.
“In truth, I never consider myself a hero,” said Ye Yinzhu.
“Achieving what I have today wasn’t solely my own doing; it is the result of the efforts of all the people of the Various Clans in Qin City.
If I have achieved something, it is mostly due to fate.
As a man, there are many things one must do in life.
Opportunities often appear before you silently.
I can say that everyone will face their own opportunities in life, seize it, and you have succeeded, fail to seize it, and you will merely live an ordinary life.”
“Senior brother, then how can one seize these opportunities?
What does strength have to do with it?” a senior student shouted loudly.
Ye Yinzhu replied, “That’s exactly what I was going to talk about next.
How to seize opportunities?
Opportunities belong only to those who are prepared.
Without regular accumulation, even if an opportunity presents itself, you won’t have the capacity to grasp it.
In this world, there’s no such thing as a supreme martial skill falling into your lap.
For you, the most important thing is to diligently cultivate, lay a solid foundation; the more you cultivate, the better your chances of seizing an opportunity.
That is to say, the stronger your own strength, the more likely you are to seize an opportunity.”
“Here’s a simple example.
All of you are cultivators, so you naturally understand what a bottleneck is.
Whether in magic or martial skills, there es a point in cultivation when you face a bottleneck.
Breaking through this bottleneck does involve some luck.
However, if you haven’t even reached the bottleneck, what good would your luck do?”
“Many people see my success today, possessing greater strength than ordinary cultivators, but do you know where my strength es from?
I admit, I am a lucky person, but before luck came my way, I diligently cultivated Zither Magic for sixteen years.
Since I was born, just after I turned a month old, I began mastering Zither Magic, starting with listening to the beautiful sounds of the zither daily, to playing it myself, constantly delving into the mysteries of Zither Magic.
Sixteen years of undivided attention…
When I left home and came to the Milan Magic Martial Academy, I didn’t even know the difference between men and women?”
Laughter erupted among the audience, but it quickly subsided, as Ye Yinzhu’s message was clear—he was telling these students that there are no shortcuts in this world, achieving something significant requires efforts others are not willing to make.
“Senior brother, then didn’t you miss out on your childhood?”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Yes!
But that’s not entirely accurate; my childhood belonged to the Zither, and the Zither was my childhood.
What I want to tell you secondly is, the easiest way to achieve success is to turn what you cultivate into your own interest, or rather, cultivate your own interest.
Only when you truly love it, will you cultivate with more effort and focus during your training.
The Zither is my interest, it seems I was born for the Zither, which is why I am what I am today.” (To be continued.
