"But, shouldn't the West District City Guild be subject to orders from the headquarters?" Xiao Yang asked doubtfully.
"That is true, but in fact, our four major divisions, southeast, northwest and northwest, have little contact with the headquarters. It is not an exaggeration to say that they operate independently."
Yang Tianzhi snorted coldly and continued: "The reason why I came to deliver the documents this time is just to rely on the influence of the headquarters. But since those old guys don't agree, then why should we take care of them? What's more, I have already
It’s just because they don’t like it!”
"So what President Yang means is that the training academy thing will continue?" Henry Zhang raised his eyebrows.
Yang Tianzhi nodded and said firmly: "With the financial resources of our Western District City Guild, we can support a medium-sized training academy, and the recruitment scope is also limited to the Western District of Xuanwu Continent!"
Xiao Yang quite agreed with Yang Tianzhi's proposal.
After all, the arrival of ghosts is imminent, and the plan to resist the ghosts cannot be shelved just because the city guild headquarters disapproves.
"In this case, we, the Yanyang Federation, will also fully support this matter!" Xiao Yang said firmly.
"Hahaha, okay!"
Yang Tianzhi smiled happily.
After that, the two of them also left the city guild headquarters and headed back home.
Everything seemed calm.
However, what the City Guild Headquarters did not expect was that the rash decision they made would become one of the triggers for the future changes in the Xuanwu Continent.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
…
On the way back, Xiao Yang and Yang Tianzhi were no longer in the same hurry as before, but slowed down and discussed the establishment of a training academy along the way.
"What do you think of the first batch of students recruited by the training academy?" Yang Tianzhi asked aloud while sitting on the Netherworld Horse.
Henry Zhang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since it is the first batch of students, the number of students cannot be too large. It is best to control it within a thousand people."
"What about realm cultivation?" Yang Tianzhi asked again.
"Of course you need to have a certain foundation of cultivation."
Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This time the ghosts came, I specially observed it. The weakest ghost can kill a practitioner of the seventh heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but in terms of pure strength,
The weakest ghost is equivalent to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In other words, the cultivation level of the students recruited must not be lower than the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Too."
Yang Tianzhi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "What about the candidates to recruit students?"
Henry Zhang looked forward, thought for a while and replied: "I think the first few batches of students recruited will be selected from the army of the Sun Federation and the Western District City Guild. After the number is almost saturated, we will expand the recruitment from the outside world.
.”
"That makes sense." Yang Tianzhi nodded and responded.
After all, people from the City Guild and the Sun Federation will be able to manage more easily and save a lot of worry after entering the training academy.
"Then, where is the training academy located?" Yang Tianzhi asked.
"Don't worry about this. I have asked the chief elder of our federation to select a location early in the morning. I believe there will be results when we go back this time." Xiao Yang said with a faint smile.
"So good."
Yang Tianzhi nodded and said with admiration: "As expected of Alliance Leader Xiao, he made such complete preparations so early!"
Henry Zhang shook his head, and then said: "Actually, there are no major problems in the early preparations for the construction of the college. The only thing that has not been resolved now is one thing."
"What?" Yang Tianzhi asked quickly.
"Practical training!" Henry Zhang said word by word.
"Practical training?"
Yang Tianzhi couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked: "Brother Xiao, do you mean actual combat training with ghosts?"
"good!"
Henry Zhang nodded, his eyes flashing as he said: "The battle against ghosts must not be limited to words on paper. If the students do not have some practical experience, they will suffer big losses when they actually encounter ghosts!"
"That's true, but..."
A trace of worry appeared on Yang Tianzhi's face, and he said: "But if we want to experience actual combat, besides waiting for the next Ghost Festival, where can we look for ghosts?"
"Have you forgotten, President Yang? There are still many ghosts and monsters hidden in the mainland today that have visited the Ghost Festival several times before. We just need to find them." Xiao Yang asked with a smile.
Hearing this, there was no joy in Yang Tianzhi's eyes, but he sighed and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Alliance Leader Xiao regarding this matter."
"Oh?" Henry Zhang was slightly startled.
"As early as Alliance Leader Xiao, when you killed the first ghost king, our city guild has already sent people to search for hidden ghosts in various parts of the western region of the mainland." Yang Tianzhi said with a heavy tone.
"Didn't find it?" Henry Zhang also guessed the result.
"Well, we searched many places, but still found nothing."
Yang Tianzhi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "But then again, even the western part of the Xuanwu Continent is vast beyond human imagination. It would be difficult for our city guild to conduct a blanket search. If we really want to
Searching the entire western continent, I don’t know if it’s going to be the Year of the Monkey or the Horse!”
"Actually, there may be another way to find these hidden ghosts..." Henry Zhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"What can we do?" Yang Tianzhi immediately turned around and looked.
"I wonder if President Yang has noticed that when ghosts come on the Ghost Festival, certain phenomena will appear in the sky, such as dark clouds gathering, storms rolling, and thunder roaring?" Xiao Yang said.
"Visions of heaven and earth..."
Yang Tianzhimo/ stroked his chin, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Only then did he recall that, as Xiao Yang said, whenever ghosts came, small-scale strange phenomena would appear in the sky.
"Such a vision may not be noticed on ordinary days, because in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a sign that it is going to rain."
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes, and he added: "But during the Ghost Festival, the appearance of strange phenomena in the heaven and earth is very likely to mean one thing, and that is the arrival of ghosts!"
"It seems so!"
Yang Tianzhi nodded, but then he frowned and said, "But who would remember where the strange phenomena of heaven and earth appeared on the Ghost Festival?"
"Ordinary people generally cannot remember it, but in each city, there will be a corresponding weather record book, which records the detailed weather changes every day."
Henry Zhang replied with a smile: "President Yang, you just need to collect these records and look at the places where the heaven and earth phenomena occurred during the previous Hungry Ghost Festival, and then start searching outwards with these places as the center."
yes."
"Hahahaha, what a great idea!"
Yang Tianzhi was immediately excited and clapped his hands repeatedly.
