Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 75 Welcome to the Challenge

……

"Any objections?"

"No!"

The students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy are all wealthy and noble. The most important thing for them to study here is to gain prestige and establish connections among the new generation of nobles. Tuition fees are really not a problem for them.

It's only doubled; for someone who's a bit extravagant, it's just a matter of a few meals.

"Very good, I knew you were all good students who respected your teachers." Nan Feng's expression was subtle.

"Secondly, starting this semester, the academy will adopt a bottom-ranking elimination system. Students will be grouped into groups of seven, and assessments will be conducted monthly for a total of twelve times per year. The student with the most bottom-ranking finishes will be expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"??!!"

"Why?!"

Dissenting voices immediately arose from the student ranks below the stage.

"We paid tuition to attend school! What right do you have to expel us?!"

"That's right! You're just an honorary dean! What gives you the right to treat me like this!"

"..."

"quiet!"

Meng Shenji shouted loudly, putting the situation under control.

"Dean Nanfeng, expelling someone from the academy is a bit too harsh a punishment. Besides, since it's an assessment, someone is bound to be at the bottom," Bai Baoshan said.

"How about we set some assessment standards, and then expel students who fail repeatedly?"

Although the rule is somewhat unpleasant to hear, and even a bit excessive, if it is actually implemented, it will still be very helpful in improving the quality of the students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

They had considered similar methods before, but Emperor Xueye did not take them seriously. In his view, the strength of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not important. The academy itself did not exist to cultivate any powerful soul masters; it was merely a social circle for the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, Emperor Xueye may not have the courage to carry out such reforms.

After all, setting rules is one thing, but actually implementing them is another.

If it's established but can't be implemented, that would be awkward.

It undermines the emperor's prestige.

However, Nan Feng has the identity of the Spirit Hall, which gives him greater authority, and he would be more effective in carrying out such tasks.

"Sure, you guys decide." Nan Feng shrugged, not really caring about the matter.

"Article Three: If a student expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a title to inherit, the Heaven Dou Empire will strip them of their right of inheritance!"

"?!?!"

Upon hearing this, the students below erupted in chaos.

"Why?!"

"What right do you have to steal our titles?!"

Nan Feng's eyes narrowed, a red light flashed in them, and a vast dragon's might poured out, instantly suppressing the restless square.

The students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were only at the Soul Master level, and they couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure at all. Their faces turned pale, and many of the more timid ones were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

"It's my turn to speak; I haven't let you all express your opinions yet," Nan Feng said.

"Anyone who dares to interrupt me again will be considered to be showing contempt for the Spirit Hall's authority, and as an elder of the Judgment Committee, I have the right to kill them on the spot."

The air fell silent.

The hundreds of students, startled, covered their mouths and dared not make a sound.

Anyone who's ever been to Heaven Dou City has heard at least a little bit of the legend of that mad elder from the Spirit Hall. When he says he'll take action, he really means it!

"Fourth." Nan Feng scanned the group of students below the stage.

"The title stripped from the dropout will be given to the top student in the annual assessment, and all the benefits of the title, including the fief, property, salary, etc., will be transferred to the top student. This process will be jointly enforced by the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Spirit Hall."

"Gentlemen, there's no need to worry about defaulting on your debts."

"..."

The air seemed to freeze, and both teachers and students stared at Nan Feng in shock.

Are you sure?!

"Fifth, those who are expelled will be publicly announced throughout the continent by the Spirit Hall. Please rest assured, since you have paid the money, even if you are expelled, I will make you famous overnight on the continent," Nan Feng said.

"Sixth, if there are any cases of favoritism or cheating during the assessment, please feel free to report them. If the report is verified, the cheater will be stripped of their noble title and the title will be transferred to the whistleblower. Please refer to Article 4 for the process."

"Seventh, all those who hold titles in the Heaven Dou Empire must have their eligible children and grandchildren enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for study; otherwise, they will be considered traitors, all their property will be immediately confiscated, and they will be punished for treason."

"Finally, the above regulations are jointly recognized by the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Little Ancestor Ning Rongrong. We welcome everyone's challenge."

After saying that, Nan Feng got up and left.

As everyone watched Nan Feng disappear from sight, they turned their attention to the three education committee members on the stage.

The three of them, Meng Shenji, and Meng Shenji, looked at each other, completely bewildered.

What the hell is going on?!

reform?!

An elder from the Spirit Hall is actually helping the Heaven Dou Empire with reforms?!

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

……

Nan Feng's speech at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy quickly spread, especially the last point: the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School jointly acknowledged it!

"When did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family align themselves with the Spirit Hall?"

The spies from various factions in Tiandou City sent the matter back to their respective sects via urgent secret letters.

No one thought Nan Feng was joking. In front of so many people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and in the name of the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, these regulations were made. If they hadn't been discussed beforehand, how could they have been announced in this way?

Similarly, upon learning of this, Xue Ye was completely stunned.

"Is he... helping me?" Xueye looked at the chief eunuch beside her in disbelief.

These reform measures are beneficial and harmless to the current situation of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Everyone knows that in recent years, the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire has gradually lost its prestige, and the major kingdoms and duchies under its control have become powerful and often test the authority of the royal family.

He was willing but powerless to change things. He wanted to reform, but he was worried that if he did, he would destroy the Heaven Dou royal family. So he could only delay. His cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also in the hope of using Ning Fengzhi's power to change the status quo of the Heaven Dou Empire.

But now, Nan Feng's set of regulations is blatantly helping the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out mandatory reforms!

With the Spirit Hall's military power and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's control over the economy, these nobles could only engage in internal strife and mutual annexation according to these regulations. This not only weakened the power of the nobles but also enhanced the prestige of the royal family. Most importantly, all those messy titles that had been distributed could be resolved in a legal way!

"Could it be the work of His Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Leader Ning?" the chief eunuch speculated.

Xueye looked thoughtful. "Even though that's the only possibility, how exactly did they convince Nanfeng to help? And in the name of the Spirit Hall?"

To put it bluntly, Nan Feng's position is similar to that of an emperor; his word carries immense weight, and he cannot simply say whatever he wants, let alone in such a public setting.

By now, spies from all sides of Tiandou City have probably already spread this news.

……

"When did I discuss these things with him?"

Ning Fengzhi, who was still in Tiandou City, was completely stunned after receiving the news from the Tiandou Royal Academy.

When did he agree to all these messy reform measures?

And what the hell is all this stuff?!

What kind of school rule is that?

Looking at it from all angles, he only saw two words: "confiscation of property!"

But such sweeping reforms could easily destroy the Heavenly Dou Empire!

……

Prince's Mansion.

"Xiaoxue, did that kid discuss these things with you?"

Qian Daoliu had not yet left when the spies from the Crown Prince's residence sent back the news, which he naturally saw as well.

"What nonsense is he talking about?" Qian Renxue said, completely bewildered.

What the hell are they trying to do?

Is Nan Feng really planning to use the power of the Spirit Hall to make herself a wise ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

But she didn't come here to be the emperor!
