In Rising Sun City, everything is as before. Standing in front of the Tongming Goddess Statue, Zhan Yue looked at the huge goddess statue with emotion. Returning to the old place, things have changed and people have changed. This goddess is the beginning of everything.
"My sister was actually placed in the mysterious space inside this goddess statue back then. I really don't know how that person did it." Zhan Yue said with emotion. The power of faith has always kept the soul of the goddess of transparency alive, which is why Zhan Yue Yue has the opportunity to bring her back to life through a contract.
"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to say thank you to her back then." The tone of the Tongming Goddess was full of regret. Thousands of years have passed, and Lord Suzaku may have died long ago.
"Let's go." Zhan Yue finished visiting the Tongming Goddess Statue and then went to the city defense army garrison camp. Nowadays, he is not afraid of exposing his identity. Even if there are mysterious assassins, they will not be his opponent. Wearing silver-moon armor, he could even kill the 'Crazy Sword' with his sword.
"Stop, this is an important military area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." A soldier stopped Zhan Yue at the gate of the camp.
Zhan Yue said with a smile on his face, "Brother, please tell me that Zhan Yue wants to see Captain Cheng Lucheng." According to the previous timetable, Cheng Lu should be in the camp at this moment.
"Captain Cheng? Which Captain Cheng? We don't have a captain named Cheng here." The soldier shook his head. It wasn't like he was pretending. It seemed that he really didn't know Captain Cheng.
Zhan Yue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something was wrong with Cheng?
At this moment, a man wearing a sergeant's uniform came out. When he saw Zhan Yue, he was slightly startled at first, and then as if he had seen a ghost. "Zhan... Zhan Yue, you... aren't you dead?"
This man was Cheng Lu's former veteran, and now he has been promoted to captain of the city defense team.
"Brother Zhang?" Zhan Yue said when he saw the man. He naturally knew this man after staying in Cheng Lu's team for so long.
"It's a long story. I didn't die in the first place. I was lucky enough to save my life." Zhan Yue didn't say much and asked, "Do you know where Captain Cheng Lu went?"
The captain surnamed Zhang smiled boldly and said: "As a courtesy to Captain Cheng, Brother Cheng has advanced to the Xuan Realm and been promoted to general, and now he has gone to serve in the capital."
"He went to school and got a job?" Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay. After not seeing him for more than two years, Cheng Lu successfully broke through and it seemed that he was reused.
"Wait, what's your cultivation level?" Captain Zhang looked at Zhan Yue and rubbed his eyes, "Isn't it, the aura of the seventh level of psychic? It's only been three years since we last met, you... you have been promoted from the contract spirit realm to Seventh level of psychic?!" For those geniuses, the seventh level of psychic is not enough, but for these ordinary people, Zhan Yue's talent is enough to shock them. After staying in the mandrill clan for more than a year, and on the ghost island for more than a year, he came back from the Qianjiao Girl Country in a leisurely manner. It was indeed three years since Zhanyue first arrived at Rising Sun City. Three years, to a profound practitioner, is just a blink of an eye, but to a profound practitioner, it is also an extremely long time.
"It's just some chance." Zhan Yue said, "Since Brother Cheng is not in the camp, I won't bother you."
Captain Zhang asked again: "Are you going to go to school to find him?"
Zhan Yue nodded.
"That's a good relationship. The annual admissions exam in the capital is just around the corner. I think you also have a chance. Even if you are not admitted to the Royal First United College, you can try other colleges. You give it a try. You are still young. Your talent is so good, you should learn more." Captain Zhang suggested.
Zhan Yue smiled and thanked him, then turned and left. Of course he wanted to study in the capital, but there was no need to take the exam because he could enter without taking it. As Captain Zhang knew, it would soon be the annual enrollment day, and there would be an endless stream of people rushing to the academic capital from all directions. It was very easy for Zhan Yue to get on a caravan carriage, and he didn’t even need to pay for the journey, because it happened to be the caravan of Wanju Chamber of Commerce going to the academic capital. Zhan Yue had this extra benefit as a contracted alchemist. Everyone knows that he is an alchemist and his attitude is respectful.
Leaving Alchemy City, there are very few alchemists in other places. He has also become the target of everyone's fawning. It's no wonder that Ye Jun's people went to the border of Qianjiao Nu Country to capture alchemists. It would be difficult for them to find so many suitable candidates elsewhere.
The same accident as last time did not happen. More than ten days later, the convoy arrived at the school city smoothly.
The Academic Capital of the Eastern Kingdom, formerly known as Tianshu City, became the academic center of the Eastern Kingdom because the First United College of the Empire was located here, and the city became the academic capital. There is no bustling business here like Pearl City, but it is a place where martial arts and other miscellaneous studies have a particularly strong atmosphere. Tianshu City is very big, so big that it is illuminated by two transparent towers. You must know that even the imperial capital is only protected by a transparent tower. The status of the capital of learning in the Eastern Kingdom is evident. Because there are many colleges here, a larger and more open teaching environment is naturally needed. With two transparent towers, everyone naturally understands.
The architectural style of the academic capital is very low-key, not as flashy as Wanzi City. Neatness and cleanliness are Zhan Yue's first impression of it. When walking on the street, from time to time, you will hear passers-by communicating. Some are exchanging martial arts skills, some are exchanging weapon refining skills, and naturally some are exchanging alchemy insights... .Everyone seemed to be open-minded and willing to share their insights. The academic exchange atmosphere was unprecedented in any other city.
"Xuedu, I really came to the right place." Zhan Yue said with emotion. The most popular places on both sides of the street are bookstores.
"Old man, do you know how to get to the First College?" Zhan Yue randomly found an old man on the street to ask for directions. The old man was dressed in commoner clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, as if he had read poetry and books.
"Go east, go to the end of the road, look to the left, and you will see the statue of the Goddess of Tongming." The old man said kindly, and then added: "You are going to take the exam of the First Academy, I wish you well transport."
Zhan Yue thanked the old man and quickly found the First United College of the Empire. The first thing that catches the eye is the huge statue of the goddess of transparency. Every city will have a statue of the goddess as a commemoration, and the statue of the goddess in the academic capital is within the First Academy. This also shows the status of this first college.
Although the First United College of the Empire is actually managed by the Eastern Kingdom, its ownership does not belong to the Eastern Kingdom alone, but is shared by the Three Kingdoms of the Rising Sun Kingdom and Lietu Kingdom. It is also the highest institution of higher education in the entire Eastern Continent. The three countries contribute their talents and jointly The largest comprehensive university in the world has been built, recruiting students from the entire Wanling Continent. Not only contractors can enter the academy to study, but even ordinary people can also have their own subjects in the First Academy. Astronomy, geography, farming and smelting are also taught here. After all, most people in the world are ordinary people, and their strength cannot be ignored. Even if they cannot practice, their wisdom is no worse than others. That's why it is said to be a truly comprehensive institution, a holy place in the hearts of everyone, especially ordinary people, where those who cannot practice can find dignity and be respected. This is where the abundance of talents in the Eastern Kingdom comes from.
However, an interesting thing happened at the bustling school gate. An old man in ragged clothes wanted to rush into the school gate, but was carried and thrown out.
"What's going on? Who is this old guy? At such an old age, do you want to apply for the first university?" People around him discussed.
"No, it's even weirder than that. I heard that this old guy wants to teach at the First Academy, and he wants someone to teach him a separate course. It would be weird if the guard could let him in. This guy really wants to be famous and wants to go crazy. Yes." someone explained.
"Huh? You want to be a teacher in a university and have to teach a separate class? He looks so down and out, what is he going to teach us? Could it be that he is begging for food." Someone said sarcastically.
Zhan Yue frowned and didn't bother to pay attention to these things. However, he didn't want to look for trouble, but trouble found him.
"Master, do you want to learn from me?" The old man in ragged clothes was the one who spoke. Seeing that he couldn't get into the school gate, he actually stopped people at the door and charged a lot of tuition for them to listen to his class. , but no one was fooled.
