Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 961

Suddenly, solemn and dignified music was heard in the square.

The Royal Guards took the lead and cleared a path in the square leading to the stone steps and the main gate of the academy.

Afterwards, Liuhuo Canglong arrived in front of the academy, surrounded by the royal guard of honor.

The candidates present all bowed and saluted to Liu Huo Cang Long, expressing their respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Because since they were young, they have heard from the elders around them how cruel the world was in the Central Plains many years ago.

It was Liu Huo Canglong who ended this chaotic world and gave them the opportunity to change their own destiny.

Under the perfect selection system of the Celestial Empire, even if most of the more than 500 candidates were unable to enter the academy for further study, they could still take the imperial examination or become officials in various places.

Except for meritorious candidates and children of martyrs, most of the candidates present had never seen Liuhuo Canglong.

Many people were surprised and said, "The Emperor will come to the opening ceremony of the academy in person."

It would have been fine if he came at any other time, but now that Liuhuo Canglong had just put down the rebellion of the three religions, he rushed non-stop to attend the opening ceremony.

As the master of the most powerful dynasty in the world of Ziyaotian, he not only has to attend the opening ceremony, but also has to observe the entire process of the subsequent college entrance examination.

The person who failed the entrance exam last time and took it again understood the situation and said, "You don't know this. The academy was built by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. No matter how busy he is, the Emperor will be here on the opening day and will participate in the whole process."

"I didn't expect that the Emperor would attach so much importance to the selection of the Academy. There were rumors before that the Academy and the Emperor were at odds. Now it seems that they are all villains."

"Of course. As long as you come to the academy, you will find that all the rumors you have heard before will be refuted.

Leng Hanfu, who was in the crowd, looked at Liu Huo Cang Long on the stone steps and said to himself, "This one is mine..."

"Ding~" A clear bell sound rang out from the academy.

All the students present understood that this bell sound meant that the academy's entrance examination was about to begin.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the gate of the academy slowly opened, and the academy principal Ji Wentian led a group of students to welcome Liu Huo Canglong.

“Meet the Emperor of Misfortune.”

Liu Huo Canglong exempted Ji Wentian from the formalities and said, "Shanzhang Ji, according to custom, you don't have to salute me. The students present have been waiting for a long time, so let's get started quickly."

"The opening ceremony has officially begun. Candidates, please wait to enter."

More than 500 candidates who came to take the college entrance examination first registered the three subjects they were about to take with the teachers of each subject.

Only after all registrations are completed can you enter the academy under the guidance of the teacher.

Liu Huo Canglong and Ji Wentian stood on the stone steps, waiting for the registration to be completed.

Liu Huo Canglong looked at the students registering in the square and smiled with satisfaction.

Ji Wentian saw Liu Huo Canglong's expression and said with a smile: "I see that His Majesty the Emperor of Huo today has a sense of pride that 'all the talents in the world are in my family'."

"They are all the future pillars of our dynasty, how can I not be happy? Hahahaha..." After laughing, Liu Huo Canglong asked Ji Wentian: "Excuse me, Master Ji, will you come here today?"

Even though you are the supreme ruler of the country, you still have to be so careful.

Ji Wentian replied: "The Master said that the academy examination is for the Emperor and to select talents for the Heavenly Dynasty, so he is not needed. However, the Master also said that he will stay in the academy until the end of this year."

Liu Huo Cang Long understood the meaning of Ji Wentian's words and asked excitedly, "Master, are you planning to accept a disciple?"

"Huo Huang's prediction is correct. The teacher has indeed expressed his willingness to accept a disciple." Ji Wentian confirmed Liu Huo Canglong's guess and looked at the students on the square. "If nothing unexpected happens, the thirteenth teacher of the academy will be born from these students." Liu Huo Canglong asked in doubt: "Don't the students who entered the academy before have a chance?"

Ji Wentian explained the reason, "In fact, the Master had thought about accepting a disciple before, but after investigation, he found that although there were many talented students in the previous academy, they were far from what he wanted. This is the main reason why the Master has been reluctant to accept a disciple."

After hearing what Ji Wentian said, Liu Huo Canglong's doubts deepened, "Are the Master's standards really so strict? Then how can the Master be so sure that there is one of his last disciples among these students?"

There are some things that concern the Master and the Crown Prince. Even Ji Wentian, the headmaster of the academy, cannot say them clearly. "Perhaps the Master has some methods that we don't know about."

"This is the only way." Liu Huo Canglong recalled the scene when he first met the Master when the academy was first established.

Back then, he absorbed dragon energy, had purple dragon scales to protect his body, mastered the Creation Art, and practiced the miraculous skill "Nine Heavens Sutra", and thought he was invincible.

After meeting the Master, he became curious about this extraordinary master who was going to live in seclusion in the academy, and expressed his desire to learn something from him.

The original intention was to test the Master's ability and whether he was really qualified to be recommended by the Shaoyang Army and enter the academy.

The Master naturally would not refuse and would satisfy Liu Huo Canglong's request.

In that battle, the purple dragon scales that Liuhuo Canglong was so proud of were shattered, and the creation secret that combined yin and yang, hardness and softness was cracked.

There was not a single scratch on the Master's body, not even a speck of dust.

Although after the war, the Master displayed his extraordinary powers and instantly healed Liu Huo Canglong's injuries without leaving any hidden dangers.

The repaired purple dragon battle scales are several points stronger than the original ones.

This battle severely shattered Liu Huo Canglong's pride, and also made him deeply wary of this peerless master whose origins were unknown.

Fortunately, the Master did as he promised and was only there to protect the academy and the Celestial Empire.

After setting up the Jingshen Formation to protect the country for Tianjing, he lived in seclusion.

Except for the first two or three months after the academy opened, he spent the rest of the time traveling around the world with the eldest disciple or other disciples.

In the academy, only a few people like Ji Wentian knew about the existence of the Master.

The twelve disciples who came with the Master, although they had different specialties, were also top-notch in their respective fields.

A solid team was built for the newly established academy.

After he had completely put his mind at ease, every year when school started, Liu Huo Canglong would come to the academy to discuss matters with the teacher.

Although he suffered a miserable defeat every time, the different martial arts truths displayed by the Master each time benefited Liu Huo Canglong a lot.

The Purple Dragon Battle Scales, which had been repaired after several battle damages, became stronger with each battle.

This made Liu Huo Canglong sincerely admire this mysterious master.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about how Shaoyang Jun made this master agree to protect the Heavenly Dynasty.

During the conversation with the Master, Liu Huo Canglong tried to ask the question indirectly many times, but he didn't get an answer.

Over time, Liu Huo Canglong no longer worried about it.

It was enough for him to know that the Master's existence was a blessing for the Celestial Empire and the people of the world.

There is no need to delve into the rest.
