The Eternal System
System 36: Academy Opening Event
“Author academy?!”
Li Jia was shocked when she heard Ying Yue's words.
“True. His standing within the academy was the highest. So when you meet him later, pay attention to your words and attitude”
“Ba-fine...”.
When Ying Yue and Li Jia were in a short conversation, it was only Li Chen who had his eyes and thoughts flashed to something else. He recalled when elder Gong came before him.
With his ability at that time, Li Chen felt a powerful and overflowing Ki energy jet.
“(the old grandfather... he is not a random person)”.
The system that appeared right before him was even making Li Chen extremely stunned. The status that it raises is the status of elder Gong, and which is shown to be….
[Name: Gong Yexiao ]
[ Age: 69 years ]
[Level : King of one-star fighters ]
The first time in his lifetime, Li Chen had only seen someone with an extremely high level of cultivation. The difference in the aura he emitted alone was visible from his presence. Without the slightest bit of intent being unleashed, that aura overflowed around his body and made the person who could sense it be depressed by Ki's aura intimidation.
Anyone would definitely be depressed and not dare to mess around by such a person. However, this was not the case for Li Chen. His face became a wide smile and his hands were tightly clenched as if full of vigor when recalling how powerful elder Gong was just by appearing before him.
“(That's great! In this academy, I can meet many strong people. I will definitely use this time to train and become much stronger. For the sake of my father, mother, and also my sisters!)”
In the midst of it, Li Chen was busy in his own mind thinking about his great ambition. While Ying Yue herself who turned around and turned her head towards Gu also gently stroked her fur.
“Gu, you can rest. Thank you for helping me”
“Don't hesitate like that, Yue. Helping you is my duty, and taking care of you is the same as my life”
That parting speech made Gu suddenly turn into a collection of Ki energy and sucked into Ying Yue's body completely.
Shortly after, he turned back towards Li Chen and Li Jia.
“You two, let's go” said Ying Yue
“Go? Where?” asked Li Jia
“To the opening ceremony of the recipient of the new disciple” sahut Ying Yue
* * * * *
The opening ceremony of the new student. It was a routine thing that happened every year within the academy that was scattered in the cultivator's land. The students who passed the selection from the top of the academy, will be invited and enter the academy to train to become stronger.
Like Li Chen and Li Jia, who were invited directly by Ying Yue to come to Liliang academy while being monitoring in Feng city.
Not only from Ying Yue's side, the fellow higher-ups in Liliang academy were also scattered to various cities in various regions. And now, they're all into a stadium so big as a football stadium.
The vast and large, circular and elevated spectator seats were like stairs filled with the excitement of the seniors sitting side by side to watch the new students coming to the academy.
They cheered and whispered to each other. Looking at the new disciples who were marching on the vast field like an arena.
The new disciples were composed of almost 10 lines. Each row there are 5-7 new students who are recruited directly by the leaders of Liliang academy. They were from different cities, and of course Li Chen and Li Jia did not see anyone they knew other than each other.
In order not to separate, the two lined up in front of each other's back. Li Chen was at the forefront of the line and Li Jia was behind him. Followed by the other disciples behind him again.
“Uwa... lots of new students yes it turns” murmured Li Chen.
“Actually not really. But big brother did not think that it would be up to this much” Li Chen said
“Well, at least me and brother are not separated. We do not know anyone but ourselves, each” continued Li Jia
When Li Jia spoke like that, both of Li Chen's eyes were turning to the right left looking at the new faces he had met. And in the middle of the crowd of rows, Li Chen turned to his right back and saw someone who was quite familiar.
And his eyes did not lie to him. What Li Chen saw amidst the crowd was, it turned out to be Fang Yi. His former fiancee.
“(That's Fang Yi?!)”
Li Chen was shocked when he saw Fang Yi in the middle of the line.
“(It turns out he's also here huh. But who invited him? Did Brother Yue also invite him?)”
Li Chen tried to think the most logical conclusion of his thought was that. However, time was not enough for him, as the voice of an old man began to be heard throughout the large stadium.
“Welcome, new faces and seeds in the world of cultivators!”
The sound was so loud it immediately buzzed in every ear of the person who was in the stadium. They closed their ears tightly as if they could not stand the loudness of the sound.
“Uuhh! How hard!”
“My gear feels like it wants to explode!”
The complaints from the disciples who were there were heard all the way up. And the voice turned out to be from elder Gong. Ying Yue who was standing behind him walked up to him and whispered softly.
“Chairman Gong, please lower your voice. The eardrum of the students will break” said Ying Yue
“Ah, Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. Understand this old man. I live a few more years touching 70 years, so my listeners are a little bad” elder Gong said
“Alright, elder Gong” said Ying Yue while retreating slightly back
Ying Yue was back in his line. There were some people who had a slightly similar aura and position to him. What's more, a woman with brown hair tied back and has a beautiful face from top to bottom.
The woman was seen standing beside Ying Yue exactly, and she turned her head towards him who had just returned in line.
“Tua Gong has not changed ya” said the woman
“Haha, well better that way. You are also the same as the last time I saw you, Bai Hua” Ying Yue said
“Maybe I look the same, but the student I brought seems to be at a different level”
“Oh yes? I'm also a little confident of the student I brought”
Ying Yue and the woman standing beside him, named Bai Hua exchanged words with each other.
And on the other hand, elder Gong resumed his words.
“Ehem-ehem, sorry for everything, said elder Gong
The disciples who sat in the audience seats and stood below began to feel comfortable with the loudness of the voice that was reset by elder Gong.
While Li Chen himself pulled his gaze up and saw a place like a different balcony. Up there was elder Gong speaking.
“Welcome to Liliang Academy. My name is Gong Yexiao, you can call me elder Gong. Young cultivators, you have been chosen by the top brass of the academy and invited directly to enter the Liliang academy. Starting today, you will start intensive lessons and training for those of you who want to become stronger”
“And for those of you who came with half-hearted intentions, then don't blame the academy if it takes you out”
