Among the Suzaku Kingdom, the Yanhuang Academy is the most sacred and noble academy for beast masters. It is said that its history is older than the capital of the Suzaku Kingdom.
And more often than not, Yanhuang Academy is not just a school, it is more like a symbol.
At least Li Tianming knew that not to mention the Lei Zun Mansion, the Star Chamber of Commerce, and even the Suzaku Royal Family, which controlled the lifeblood of the country, had enough respect for the Yanhuang Academy.
Throughout history, countless princes and princesses have practiced in Yanhuang Academy.
Li Tianming even heard that the reason why the Yanhuang Academy has existed for thousands of years and has never fallen is because there are background forces behind it that are beyond the imagination of the people of the Suzaku Kingdom.
For example, the Academy's 'Tianfu' is a mysterious place for Li Tianming. It is said that it is the true core of the Academy.
As the sacred place for beast masters in the Suzaku Kingdom, Yanhuang Academy has trained countless generations of beast masters and has a lofty status.
The entire academy is so vast, occupying almost half of the land in the northern district of Yandu. The entire Yanhuang academy is larger than the imperial city of the Suzaku royal family.
Today is the day of the quadrennial academic palace exam. Li Tianming came here early in the morning. Needless to say, he knew that the place was packed with people today.
"Today is just a clearance battle, not a ranking battle, but there are so many people there, more than four years ago."
Of course, not all the visitors are young girls who have received the Yanhuang Order, many of them are parents and servants.
Looking around, there are countless top experts, and the prosperity and magnificence of Yandu are clearly reflected here.
The gate of Yanhuang Academy is not magnificent. It is made of simple boulders and is full of traces of time and aging.
Such a simple yet profound layout truly reveals the academy's thousand-year history. Beast masters all over the world dream of coming here.
Four years ago, Li Tianming passed the palace examination with excitement and became a disciple of the Academy.
Today, four years later, when he arrived at the gate of the academy, his mood seemed completely different.
Because he knows that the two people who ruined everything for him three years ago are now enjoying the treatment of the top geniuses deep in the Yanhuang Academy.
They would never have thought that Li Tianming had returned.
Clearing the battle is a very simple step for Li Tianming, not too difficult.
He walked inside along with the crowd, holding the Yanhuang Order in his hand. He only needed to complete the registration before he could step into the Yanhuang Academy again and participate in the customs clearance exam.
There are a total of five registration locations at the entrance of the Academy, and there are now long queues at all five locations.
The people queuing up with him were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls, all young and beautiful, with eyes full of hope.
They were nervous and excited, just like Li Tianming four years ago.
Once he is over twenty years old, he is no longer eligible to compete for the Yanhuang Order. Li Tian is very lucky. In more than a month, he will be overage.
Of the five registration locations, Li Tianming chose the registration desk at the ‘Phoenix Palace’.
In addition to the core 'Tianfu', the Yanhuang Academy is divided into five halls, namely the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, the Phoenix Hall, the Azure Hall, the Yuanling Hall and the Tianyi Hall.
These five halls recruit beast masters of animals, birds, fish, insects and special types respectively.
The birds are revered by the legendary phoenix, hence the name Phoenix Hall.
The Phoenix Hall has an ancient heritage, and is the largest hall in the Yanhuang Academy along with the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. It has many disciples and talented people.
When he was almost in line, Li Tianming saw to his surprise that the person in charge of registration at the Phoenix Hall registration desk today was actually his 'old classmate' from four years ago.
After losing his companion beast three years ago, he was no longer able to practice, so he dropped out of school and left the Phoenix Palace.
And the disciples who entered Yanhuang Academy with him back then are probably promoted to the 'intermediate class' now.
The five major halls of Yanhuang Academy are divided into four-year classes, with each class having one grade. There are a total of three grades, namely junior class, intermediate class and advanced class.
Every four years, a junior class is admitted.
The disciples in the junior class who meet the requirements in cultivation and reach the standard will be promoted to the intermediate class.
As for the top senior class disciples, they have been practicing in Yanhuang Academy for ten to twelve years and can be allowed to graduate.
Of course, if you have high attainments and rich experience, the Academy can also invite you to become a Academy teacher.
The teachers of Yanhuang Academy have a very high status and are definitely of top status.
Therefore, graduates of advanced classes basically work extremely hard in order to compete to become teachers.
Three years ago, Li Tianming dropped out of the junior class of the Phoenix Palace, while his classmates in the same period, after three years of hard training, have made great progress, and at least they have become beast masters in the Spiritual Source Realm.
Being promoted to the intermediate class means that their cultivation has passed the assessment and reached the standards of the intermediate class.
If you fail to achieve this, you will be ordered to repeat the grade and stay in the junior class for four more years.
In Yanhuang Academy, repeating a grade is an extremely shameful thing. It not only wastes four years of youth, but also makes people laugh at you.
What's even more uncomfortable is that everyone only has one chance to repeat a grade.
Once you still fail to meet the standards for the second time, you will be deprived of your status as a disciple of Yanhuang Academy and directly expelled from the academy.
The two people in front of me have practiced together with Li Tianming for a year. They must have been promoted to the intermediate class and become senior brothers and senior sisters.
Otherwise, they would not be qualified to shoulder such a heavy task here and register thousands of young people who have obtained the Yanhuang Order.
Among the five halls, Phoenix Hall recruits 500 disciples every year.
However, there are more than 1,500 young people who have obtained the Yanhuang Order and want to enter the Phoenix Palace, and the passing rate of the palace examination is one-third.
These two old classmates are a boy and a girl. The boy is Fang Zhao and the girl is Lin Qingyu.
Li Tianming still knows them, but he doesn't know if they still know him.
After waiting in line for about an hour, it was finally Li Tianming's turn. He took out the Yanhuang Order and wrote his origin and name on the list.
Fang Zhao and Lin Qingyu both lowered their heads to collect it, one was responsible for checking, and the other took away the Yanhuang Order.
"Li Huocheng, Li Tianming." Fang Zhao, a man in black robe, picked up the list. When he saw the name on it, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, he raised his head, and when he saw Li Tianming, his expression was particularly wonderful.
"Li Tianming, why is it you?" Lin Qingyu was wearing an orange dress. Under the scorching sun, her skin was slightly sweating.
"Fang Zhao, Lin Qingyu, you're all right. I got the Yanhuang Order again, and I'm ready to make a comeback." The old classmates reunited, and Li Tianming remembered the time when he first entered the Phoenix Palace four years ago.
We are all newcomers from remote areas, helping each other and growing together.
Those years were young but touching.
I remember that at that time, Fang Zhao was still very timid and his cultivation was not good enough. He was beaten by others, and Li Tianming even helped him to get ahead.
But now, none of their expressions looked right. When they saw Li Tianming, they were not surprised to meet again, only frightened.
Lin Qingyu probably remembered Li Tianming's scandal three years ago, so he asked tentatively: "Tianming, are you serious?"
"Of course, I happen to be not overage yet, and I also relied on hard work to obtain the Yanhuang Order from our Lihuo City again."
"After all, there is no rule in the academy that I cannot come to take the palace exam a second time." Li Tianming said with a smile.
"But your companion beast is already dead!" Fang Zhao raised his head, his face a little ugly, and then said: "Destiny, it has been more than three years. Because of your incident three years ago, our entire class of disciples were imprisoned.
You've been laughed at for a long time, so you better stop messing around here. If you really want to cause trouble, I will kick you out."
"No need, I meet all the procedures, you can just register." Li Tianming said calmly.
He was not surprised that Fang Zhao would target him. To this day, he no longer laments that things have changed. After all, it is commonplace.
"Without the companion beast, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I let you in? Li Tianming, it's not three years ago now. We have already been promoted to the intermediate class."
"If you really want to cause trouble, don't blame your old classmates for not caring about their original friendship." Fang Zhao curled his lips, showing malice.
"Oh, it turns out he is already a senior in the intermediate class. That's amazing." Li Tianming gave him a thumbs up.
"Let me ask you again, do you want to go away or not?" Fang Zhao asked with a gloomy face.
"Qing Yu, are you a villain like him?" Li Tianming turned his head and looked at the girl next to him.
Lin Qingyu gritted her teeth, shook her head and said: "Forget it, I don't want to care about you, let's just take care of business. You meet the conditions and you got the Yanhuang Order. I can also check here the information about you getting the Yanhuang Order. You can go in."
.”
"Qingyu, don't let him go in and be embarrassed..." Fang Zhao said anxiously.
"Why are you so anxious? I want to embarrass myself and myself, and it has nothing to do with you." Li Tianming said.
"Li Tianming, you dare to talk to me like this, don't forget the difference in identity between you and me at this moment!" Fang Zhao suddenly stood up.
After three years of hard training and promotion to the intermediate class, his strength has improved greatly compared to back then.
"Awesome, awesome. Let me see it if you have a chance in the future." Li Tianming was too lazy to argue with him. After getting the permission, he turned around and stepped into Yanhuang Academy.
"I have a heavy responsibility today. I'll let you see how I can crush you, a dirty waste, after three years of practice." Fang Zhao couldn't catch up.
Because, he has a queue of thousands of people here.
Li Tianming didn't look back because of his clamor. No matter how high his realm and strong his fighting power was, he had nothing to fear from such a tough-looking guy.
He just sighed, remembering that when everyone was young and ignorant, it was not like this.
Back then, everyone came from all over the world and entered the same junior class. At that time, everything was new to them.
Those scenes of sitting on the floor at night and chatting all night can only be sealed in memory.
I just don’t know if other students in the same class back then would have the same virtues as Fang Zhao?
Maybe, we'll know soon.
He followed the crowd into the Yanhuang Academy. After walking through the gate, what appeared in front of him was the legendary place of the Academy - the Yanhuang Battlefield!
This is the place where the disciples of the academy compete and practice, and it is also where major competitions are held.
The famous ranking battle of Yanhuang Academy was held here.
There are hundreds of huge arenas on the vast flat land in front of you. Each arena is an ancient boulder with countless traces of battles on it.
The entire vast flat land is surrounded by a ring-shaped building.
There are tens of thousands of seats in this ring-shaped building, all prepared for spectators. The trials of Yanhuang Academy are all open. Many people with status and status in Yandu can come in and watch the battle. Ordinary people can also spend money.
Come in and admire the disciples of the Academy.
In addition to these tens of thousands of open-air seats, there are also hundreds of private rooms. The characters in these private rooms are the real top figures in the Suzaku Kingdom. The private rooms have a better perspective and can see all the arenas.
These arenas and the high-altitude audience seats form the academy's famous Yanhuang battlefield.
In this Yanhuang battlefield for thousands of years, countless young geniuses have become famous here and proven themselves here. This is the place where the disciples of the academy are excited.
Today’s customs clearance battle, as well as the more important ranking battle that follows, will all take place here.
When Li Tianming came in, there were many people sitting in the audience seats, many of them were elders.
They could clearly see the behavior of their descendants. There should be some distinguished people in the hundreds of private rooms at this time.
For real geniuses, the difficulty of clearing the battle is not high, so today will definitely not be as lively as the day of the ranked battle.
However, Li Tianming never expected that there were two people he was very familiar with in the audience.
These two people are a man and a woman. Although the man is middle-aged, he still looks young. He has a long beard and is very majestic.
As he sat here, he felt powerful but not angry.
The woman next to her was much younger, probably in her twenties.
With her enchanting appearance, outstanding figure, and graceful curves, her every move and smile attracts the attention of many others. She is truly a beauty.
