The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

When the news of Luo Tian establishing the Zhan Tian Sect spread, the whole country was in an uproar.

"Luo Tian founded the Battle Heaven Sect! In the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

"The Battle Heaven Sect is accepting disciples! Applicants must have spiritual roots and good character!"

"The China Martial Arts Academy is about to be established! The era of universal cultivation has arrived!"

Young people with spiritual potential from all over the country flocked to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Those without spiritual roots flocked to various examination centers of the China Martial Arts Academy.

Luo Tian had a saying beforehand: When accepting apprentices or students, character comes first, and aptitude comes second.

Those with malicious intentions will not be accepted.

Those who commit crimes will not be accepted.

Those of questionable character will not be accepted.

For a time, a nationwide craze for "self-cultivation" swept the country.

There are fewer fights and brawls, fewer scams and frauds, and even the square-dancing grandmas have started lining up to do good deeds.

On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, long queues formed in front of the temporary testing site.

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng were in charge, one testing spiritual roots and the other examining character.

Little White squatted to one side, its nine tails swaying gently, its fox eyes scanning the crowd to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

The crane and the blue-feathered eagle perched on the roof, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

"Next."

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old stepped forward, sporting a pompadour hairstyle, wearing designer clothes, and looking down his nose at the sky.

He placed his hand on the testing stone, and the crystal emitted a faint yellow light.

"Earth elemental root, inferior."

Ye Qianxue said calmly.

"What's your character like?"

Li Mengmeng checked the information and found that the boy had been involved in fights and bullied classmates many times during his school years, and had even been detained for theft.

"Those who don't meet the character requirements will not be accepted."

The boy's expression changed:

"Why should I? I have spiritual roots! Do you even know who my father is?"

"No matter who you are, if your character is not up to par, we won't hire you."

Ye Qianxue spoke calmly.

"Next."

The boy was cursing and swearing, and he wanted to cause trouble.

Little White flicked its tail, and a wisp of white smoke shot out, lifting the boy up and throwing him dozens of feet away.

The boy fell to the ground, covered in dust, then got up and ran away.

"Next."

A fifteen-year-old girl stepped forward, with her hair in a ponytail, wearing a school uniform, and looking quiet and gentle.

She placed her small hand on the testing stone, and the crystal shone with a dazzling blue light.

"Superior water spirit root".

A hint of approval flashed in Ye Qianxue's eyes.

Li Mengmeng began researching the information. The girl was an excellent student, had won the "Three Good Student" award multiple times, and often volunteered to help elderly people living alone.

"qualified."

"Outer disciple of the Battle Heaven Sect."

Ye Qianxue handed her a token.

"Go in. There will be a disciple inside the mountain gate to guide you to register."

Remember the rules of the Battle Heaven Sect:

Respect teachers and value the teachings, unite with fellow disciples, do not bully the weak, and do not indiscriminately kill the innocent.

Those who violate this rule will be expelled from the sect and stripped of their cultivation.

The girl accepted the token with both hands, her eyes welling up with tears of emotion.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Holding the token, she walked through the mist toward the mountain gate.

The mist dissipated automatically, revealing a blue stone path leading deep into the mountain gate.

The test lasted for a full ten days.

In the end, Zhan Tian Sect recruited forty-nine outer disciples.

They all possess spiritual roots and are of good character.

Among them, five have superior spiritual roots, eighteen have medium spiritual roots, and twenty-six have inferior spiritual roots.

Half boys and half girls, ranging in age from twelve to twenty.

The Huaguo Martial Arts Academy enrolled 800 students, whose aptitude was average, but whose character was good.

The college is located in the suburbs of Yuncheng, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, and is equipped with teaching buildings, dormitories, a training ground, and a library.

The emperor personally allocated funds, and Zhao Lao supervised the project; it was completed in just one month.

The first dean was Ye Qianxue, the vice dean was Li Mengmeng, and the honorary dean was Xiao Niannian.

The martial arts academy's faculty consists of outstanding teachers transferred from universities across the country, who are responsible for academic courses.

A group of martial artists selected from the Dragon Group and the military are responsible for martial arts classes.

Luo Tian provided basic cultivation techniques such as "Qi Refining Technique", "Primordial Energy Cultivation Technique", and "Marrow Cleansing Technique", which are suitable for ordinary people to practice.

"Students at the Martial Arts Academy study basic academic subjects and basic martial arts for the first two years."

In the third year, students can choose to specialize in a different area, either continuing their martial arts studies or switching to another direction.

Luo Tian explained to the sage.

"Cultivation is not the only path, and we cannot force everyone to take this path."

The sage nodded:

"You're right. Cultivation is meant to make people better, not to turn them into cultivation machines."

Inside the gate of the Zhan Tian Sect.

Forty-nine outer disciples stood in neat rows on the training ground.

Their faces showed excitement, nervousness, and above all, anticipation.

Luo Tian stood on the high platform, his hands behind his back.

Little Niannian rode on Little Golden's back, hovering behind him.

Little White squatted beside Nian Nian, and Little Qilin squatted at Nian Nian's feet.

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng stood on either side of the high platform.

The crane and the blue-feathered eagle crouched behind them.

"From this day forward, you will be outer disciples of the Battle Heaven Sect."

Luo Tian's voice resounded throughout the venue, clear and powerful.

"The War Heaven Sect takes war as its name and heaven as its goal."

Cultivation is not for showing off strength and fighting, but for protecting.

Protect our families, protect our friends, protect this land.

The forty-nine disciples listened attentively.

"Outer disciples, practice basic techniques."

There is an annual assessment, and those who perform well are promoted to the inner circle.

Those who fail to perform properly will be expelled from the sect. Do you understand?

"I understand!"

Forty-nine people responded in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.

Luo Tian raised his hand, and forty-nine golden rays shot out, entering the brows of each disciple.

A basic cultivation technique appeared in everyone's mind—"Battle Heaven Technique, Chapter One".

This is a cultivation method tailored by Luo Tian for outer disciples. When cultivated to its peak, it can reach the Golden Core stage.

"These are your basic techniques."

"Practice diligently. If you don't understand something, you can ask your senior sister."

He looked at Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng.

Ye Qianxue stepped forward:

"I am Senior Sister Ye Qianxue, in charge of the sect's daily affairs."

If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me.

Li Mengmeng stepped forward:

"I am the second senior sister, Li Mengmeng, who is in charge of the sect's rules and punishments."

If someone makes a mistake, I will handle it.

Little Niannian jumped off the dragon's back and stood on the edge of the platform, saying in her childish voice:

"I am Princess Niannian! You all must behave and not fight!"

"Don't you dare bully others! Or I'll beat you up every time!"

The forty-nine disciples couldn't help but chuckle, but they all nodded earnestly.

"Princess Nian Nian, we've remembered you!"
