Chapter 163 Royal Academy

The shuttle slowly stopped in front of an extremely large and magnificent gatehouse. The gatehouse stood tall and majestic, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere, as if it had experienced the vicissitudes of countless years. At Huo Jingtian's signal, everyone jumped off the deck of the shuttle one by one with excitement and nervousness.

Their eyes were immediately attracted by the particularly eye-catching plaque above the gate. The plaque was hung high up, with the four characters "Royal Academy" written in a flamboyant style. Each of these four characters seemed to contain infinite power, and the fonts were vigorous and powerful, shining brightly under the sunlight, revealing an unquestionable authority and dignity.

The plaque is also engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, which adds a mysterious and gorgeous color to it, further highlighting the uniqueness and transcendence of the Royal Academy. Everyone stared at the plaque, full of expectations and longings for the upcoming college life.

After entering the gate, a vast square came into view. The ground was paved with smooth bluestone bricks, reflecting dazzling light under the sun. At the end of the square was a magnificent palace-style building, magnificent and magnificent, with flying eaves and brackets, which was so majestic that it was breathtaking. The thick pillars were like pillars supporting the entire huge building structure, showing the majestic spirit of the Royal Academy. As expected of the capital of a country, such a magnificent scene shocked everyone, and their eyes were full of amazement and awe.

As soon as everyone stood firm, a deacon in the uniform of the academy came forward quickly. The person who came was Huo Jingtian. The deacon had a respectful look on his face, bowed slightly, and said humbly, "Greetings, Elder Huo."

"Well, no need to be polite." Huo Jingtian looked calm, nodded slightly, and his eyes were full of majesty. Then he asked in a low voice: "Have all the other elders returned?"

The deacon stood up, his expression serious, and answered earnestly: "Reporting to the elders, there are still two elders who are heading to the farther Bluestone City and Moon City who have not arrived yet. The rest of the elders have returned to the academy."

"Yeah," Huo Jingtian nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "How does the academy arrange for the disciples who have arrived so far?"

"Please wait for five days, Elder Huo. After five days, the academy will arrange for all the disciples to take the entrance test. During this period, all the disciples can stay in the accommodation arranged by the academy, or go to Liuyun City, which is not far away, to play for a few days."

After hearing the conversation between the deacon and Huo Jingtian, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces. One of them couldn't help but blurt out: "Entrance test?" Everyone's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity. They looked at each other, trying to find the answer from each other's eyes.

Huo Jingtian finally reacted after hearing everyone's doubtful voices. He slapped his forehead, looking embarrassed, and said with some annoyance: "Oh, I was so confused. I forgot to tell you. There will be an entrance test before admission."

He paused, his expression became serious, and then he explained seriously: "This entrance test is a very important matter. During this test, if someone can perform very well and show abilities and talents far beyond ordinary people, or is tested to have some extremely outstanding talents, then there is a great chance that they will be valued by the elders of each peak, and may even be directly accepted as a closed disciple by the elders, and from then on embark on a unique path of cultivation, with more resources and opportunities to improve themselves and pursue higher realms and achievements."

After hearing what Huo Jingtian said, the doubtful expressions of the crowd gradually dissipated, replaced by excitement and anticipation. They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement, as if they saw their bright future. Some began to rub their hands, eager to try, ready to show their skills in the entrance test; some fell into deep thought, thinking about how to maximize their advantages in the test; and some could not wait to start discussing in a low voice, imagining the scene after being accepted as disciples by the elders. For a time, everyone's hearts were full of expectations and longings, and they were full of confidence and fighting spirit for the upcoming entrance test.

Afterwards, Huo Jingtian gently called Shen Yun aside.

He solemnly instructed, "My disciple, do you plan to follow me into the inner courtyard first, or do you have other ideas and plans?"

Shen Yun stood there, frowning slightly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly replied, "Master, I just arrived here and am still unfamiliar with everything in Liuyun City. So I want to find a place in the city to stay for a few days to get familiar with the environment and conditions here."

After hearing Shen Yun's answer, Huo Jingtian stroked his beard, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's good."

After Huo Jingtian finished speaking, he reached out and took out a peculiarly shaped talisman from his storage ring. He handed the talisman to Shen Yun and said slowly, "Take this sound transmission talisman. It can be used normally within the scope of Liuyun City. If you have any questions, just send a message to me."

"Yes, Master." Shen Yun respectfully stretched out his hands to take the sound transmission note, and then put it away properly.

"This Liuyun City is not like other cities. It gathers the most talented people in the entire Liuyun Empire. You must be careful and cautious when doing things, and don't be careless. Of course, if someone bullies you, don't indulge them. You must take action when it is time. Your master will support you in everything. Within the scope of Liuyun City, I still have a say." Huo Jingtian said to Shen Yun earnestly, his eyes full of care and expectations.

"By the way, Master," Shen Yun frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Are all the elders like you who go to various cities and counties to recruit students strong men in the Golden Core Realm?"

"Haha, how is that possible?" Huo Jingtian couldn't help but laugh after hearing Shen Yun's question, and then patiently answered, "Although there are quite a few Jindan Realm masters in Liuyun City, it's not so extravagant that an academy can easily send out more than 20 Jindan Realm masters. You have to know that there are nine counties and eighteen cities under the command of the Liuyun Empire. For those cities that are relatively close to Liuyun City, it is enough for the academy to arrange some deacons at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Realm to go there. As for some cities that are farther away, considering the long journey and time constraints, the academy will directly arrange Jindan Realm masters to go there, which can also ensure that the enrollment work can be carried out smoothly and efficiently."
