“Why is this invitation so special?”
Many teachers were staring at the invitation in Su Yan"s hand. The aura spreading around this invitation disappeared in a second, so did the dragon inscribed on it.
Su Yan was shocked. This picture was different from the real dragon that he had encountered on Mount Qomolangma.
But the aura of it was very similar to the dragon form in Form-Intention Boxing. Was the person who sent the invitation the one who created Form-Intention Boxing? If it were true, this man was definitely a great master of martial arts!
However, what surprised Su Yan more was how he developed dragon form! Did he ever see a real dragon?
Real dragon, the king of beasts, was horrible. The real dragon only existed in legends. Although Su Yan had seen a real one before, it didn’t mean there were real dragons elsewhere.
“Yi Yuan!”
Two characters emerged on the invitation, and even a portrait appeared. Su Yan looked into the distance and found him among all other teachers. Then his heart trembled again.
“Who is he?”
Among the teachers stood a tall man. His hair was untidy, his face was rough, and his skin was bronzed.
He was staring at Su Yan, so was Su Yan.
Somehow, Su Yan’s muscle nearly exploded, and it seemed to be interacting horrifyingly with Yi Yuan’s body.
The middle-aged man’s aura was restrained quickly. And then the weirdness in Su Yan"s body disappeared. Su Yan was shocked in his mind and wondering why he had such strange change.
Su Yan felt that it was related to his awakening, and it was likely that the const.i.tution of their bodies was similar.
Yi Yuan also observed Su Yan for quite some time. He never cared about the outer world but this time he paid a lot of attention to Su Yan.
“Yi Yuan, I’ve decided.”
Su Yan didn’t hesitate and handed the invitation directly to the statisticians. He walked into the crowd who had chosen their teachers.
This scene made a lot of people stunned, how could he be so quick? Was it because of the invitation he just received? They were very curious about who Su Yan chose.
Tao Tianhua and his members looked worried. It would be difficult to deal with Su Yan if a superior teacher chose Su Yan to be his disciple.
“I don’t know who Su Yan chose. But I hope he is a powerful teacher so that he can protect Su Yan.”
Bai Mengying was finally relieved. She believed the teacher Su Yan chose would by no means be simple since he made the decision so fast.
There were not many students left. And soon, all those who had been hesitating chose their teachers quickly.
“Well, now that you have finished, follow me!”
Liu Chengtian laughed out loudly. Wearing the Eight-Diagrams robe, he swung his sleeves and led the crowd.
This was a restricted area, only members of Huaxia College were free to enter, and guards were patrolling everywhere.
To Su Yan’s surprise, Huaxia College was not in Huaxia City, but in the primeval forest outside the south gate of Huaxia City. One could see endless mountains in the distance which were just like a giant dragon crossing here, filled with a trend and momentum of heaven and earth soaring straight into the sky!
The mountains rose above the clouds. And some great palaces were floating indistinctly among the clouds where some auspicious birds and beasts gushed rosy rays!
All of these shocked the students. This was Huaxia College, the place where they would stay and cultivate for the following10 years.
They walked along the stone steps into Huaxia College. Just stepping in here, most people were shocked by the exuberant natural essence, especially Su Yan. The natural essence here was as exuberant as that in the medium cultivating rooms of UCC.
Huaxia College must have cultivating rooms too. No wonder so many people strived to join Huaxia College!
“Follow me. You will live in Dragon-hidden Mountain in the next several years!”
“Remember that fighting in private is strictly forbidden in Huaxia College, you will be expelled from school if you are caught.”
Dragon-hidden Mountain was close at hand, a giant mountain reaching to the sky. It impressed students with its majestic and precipitous appealing. Arrays of houses located along the whole mountain, from the foot to the top of it. Everyone could feel that the natural essence on the mountain top was so explosively rich that they could even see it with their naked eyes.
There was difference between core disciples and ordinary disciples; the ordinary disciples lived at the foot of the mountain, but core disciples lived on upper mountain.
There were thousands of core dwellings in the whole Dragon-hidden Mountain, but half of them were vacant.
Su Yan found sharply that many dwellings were much better than the rest of the dwellings in both the area and the constructed approach. Why was that?
“The stronger your cultivation is, the better your house will be.”
“Some of the larger dwellings have much more natural essence than the rest of dwellings, which you have to fight for all by yourself. You won’t be challenged in the first three months; but three months later, I can’t guarantee that.”
Elder Liang explained, “Don’t be discouraged if you are ordinary disciples. You can replace core disciples if you are strong enough!”
Hearing that, Xiang Yang was high spirited and he didn’t believe that he would be weaker than Su Yan!
Su Yan was a bit confused. Why didn’t senior students choose a good place? Why did they leave good dwellings to new students? Some students were also puzzled and inquired.
“Perhaps you don’t know, if you don’t have an outstanding performance in college for a long time, you will be evicted from Dragon-hidden Mountain, let alone choosing the living place. In a word, Huaxia College don’t need mediocre person!”
“If you have ambition, go challenge Dragon-hidden List.”
“If your name is on that list, you can become golden members.”
Hearing that, these students turned super excited. The number of golden members in the whole Huaxia College was merely about twenty, but they could occupy the best resources. Who didn’t want to be a golden member?
Soon, Su Yan together with the group saw a stela standing at the foot of Dragon-hidden Mountain.
"It’s the Dragon-hidden List!"
Su Yan stared at the stela. A lot of names could be seen on it with a quick glance.
Number one, Jiang Wuhen, 10,982 points.
Number two, Yu Yiling, 10,367 points.
They were all golden students, including Tao Tianhua. It was not unexpected to see these famous names at the top of the list.
The overall number of golden students was very few - 27, mainly because that senior students would graduate every ten years!
Huaxia College was the largest supplying inst.i.tution in the entire alliance. If students like Su Yan could rank infinitely close to golden students, they could become golden students after pa.s.sing the examination!
Number twenty-eight, Jing Yanghui, 8,637 points!
Seeing his own name, Jing Yanghui looked arrogant. He had been occupying the No.1 of core disciples for almost two years. If not for the huge rewards of being the No.1 core disciple, he might have already become a golden disciple. But right now, he had the same status as a golden disciple.
Points were getting lower and lower as they looked down. Generally speaking, all the disciples on Dragon-hidden List were good enough for owning over 5,000 points.
"Teacher, how can we win if we are competing with senior students?" Some people felt that it was unfair and considered that they should have a separate list for new students.
"Ha ha ha, the list is not decided by the cultivation realm as you guys imagined." A teacher laughed, "Huaxia College has a Training PaG.o.da. When you go there, you will know that Huaxia College value the comprehension most, and the ranking is set by one’s comprehension. As long as your comprehension is qualified, you can get key training!"
"Just like Jing Yanghui. He is the No.1 amongst the core disciples, therefore he can receive tremendous resources every year." A teacher smiled, "He may even get a large amount of contributing points, which can exchang for all kinds of treasures you want. As long as you get a certain amount of contributing points, even primordial treasures are available!"
These students were all wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Could they even get primordial treasures?
Tao Tianhua just sneered and thought to himself, “Do you guys know how hard is it to exchange primordial treasures? Do you know how rare primordial treasures are in Huaxia Alliance? Normal treasures are not worthy mentioning. There are less than ten incredible treasures as great as the Heaven-suppressing Bell belonging to Dean Xia Ze!”
"In short, the Dragon-hidden List is the criterion to measure how many resources you can get. As soon as you are in the list, you can get whatever you want!"
A teacher encouraged them impa.s.sionedly, "There are 12 floors in the Training PaG.o.da. Even the No.1 golden student can only get to the tenth floor, and the No.1 core disciple can only get to the eighth floor. If you can complete all tests, the Dean will entertain you in person!"
These students all had high morale. Once they succeeded, they would definitely cause a sensation in the whole Huaxia College.
These teachers, however, were just saying it as an encouragement. Generally, students could only get to the fifth floor even after a year of study in college.
"Teacher, where is the Training PaG.o.da?" Someone couldn’t wait to see it.
"Follow me. Remember that, one can only challenge once a month, yet the core disciples have two chances in a month."
The Training PaG.o.da, which had 12 floors soaring straight to the sky, was near the Dragon-hidden Mountain. The PaG.o.da was so tall and magnificent that it was like a treasure to heaven.
These new students were shocked by its height and thought it might be an unearthed relic from ancient ruins.
"Why is that?"
When approaching the paG.o.da, Su Yan suddenly clenched his fist tight because the black ore in his pocket was heating faintly.
The black ore Su Yan bought at the auction might contain some amazing heritage. But what did it have to do with the Training PaG.o.da?
"I’ll certainly be the No.1!" Teng Yingjie said pretentiously.
His arrogant words made the students around dare not to speak. He did have the ability to say that!
"Brilliant, Yingjie! I appreciate your confidence and I am very looking forward to your improvements in the future."
Elder Lei laughed out loudly, "Follow me, I have already chosen the residence for you."
Some teachers were surprised that Elder Lei attached too much importance to his student, but considering Teng Yingjie’s thunder body, it made sense. Students like Teng Yingjie might be the G.o.d"s favored overmatch surpa.s.sing millions of geniuses in the future.
Then, what shocked them more was that the deputy dean, Duan Pengshan, also beckoned Zuo Wenyao over to his side.
"My G.o.d. Freshmen are so strong that two of them have already become disciples of two deputy deans!"
People around them looked at them differently. After all, the status of deputy dean was just lower than the dean in Huaxia College. Some people predicted that No.1 and No.2 of these freshmen would be Teng Yingjie or Zuo Wenyao unless something unexpected happened.
"If Su Yan did not offend Tao Tianhua, he might also be the disciple of a deputy dean!" Someone felt pitiful for Su Yan.
"You mean that our deputy dean is afraid of Tao Tianhua? Are you kidding? Stop your s.h.i.+t!" someone retorted, "It is impossible to train three of them even though the deputy dean is powerful!"
"First of all, it is impossible for Elder Xue to take a disciple since he is a elixir-refining master. As for Elder Lei and Duan Pengshan, Elder Lei would definitely choose Teng Yingjie. And comparing Zuo Wenyao to Su Yan, Zuo Wenyao is undoubtedly stronger!"
"I guess you’re right. Su Yan was born at the wrong time."
When somebody was whispering quietly, Su Yan walked to Yi Yuan, which stunned all those present as if they saw a ghost in broad daylight. Even Tao Tianhua and Jing Yanghui were stupefied.
