Bam, bam, bam …
Before Ji Dong and Yang Bingtian could talk about the old days, someone knocked on the door. Zhu Rong's face darkened, but at this moment, the door opened. Zhu Rong's second son walked in with his messy red hair.
As soon as he entered, he said to Zhu Rong absentmindedly, "I knew you'd bring him here."
Zhu Rong said with a cold face, "I'm teaching my disciple. What are you doing here?"
Second Brother Zhu chuckled. "I'm just greeting you. Treat my brother Ji Dong a little better. We've already become sworn brothers, friends despite the difference in age. Boss, you have to give me face this time."
Zhu Rong was stunned, and Yang Bingtian was even more dumbfounded. Ji Dong was also puzzled. Second Brother Zhu was familiar with Zhu Rong?
Second Brother Zhu walked to Ji Dong's side and patted his shoulder. "Brother, do you know why I'm called Second Brother Zhu? Actually, my name is Zhu Yan. Zhurong is my elder brother. He's the eldest Zhu, so I'm naturally the second Zhu. Not to mention anything else, my elder brother's attainments in Third Fire can be counted on one hand in the entire continent. You should learn well from him. I really didn't expect him to be willing to personally teach you. "
Ji Dong only felt dizzy. He looked at Second Brother Zhu, then at Zhu Rong and the dumbfounded Yang Bingtian, and couldn't help but be speechless.
This seniority was really too messed up. Judging from his relationship with Second Brother Zhu, Second Brother Zhu was his sworn brother, so his elder brother should naturally be Ji Dong's elder brother. Yang Bingtian was Zhu Rong's in-name disciple, so he was actually one generation lower than Ji Dong.
However, from Zhu Rong's perspective, if he wanted to be his teacher, he would be the same generation as Yang Bingtian, and one generation lower than Second Brother Zhu.
However, according to Yang Bingtian, who was the first person he met, he should be two generations younger than Zhu Rong and Zhu Yan.
In other words, when he looked at the three people in front of him from different angles, their seniority was actually different. This was really a mess.
Zhu Rong knitted his eyebrows and said to Zhu Rong, "Get out of here, don't mess around in my place. I don't care if he's your brother or not, from now on, he's my disciple. Don't mess with him if you don't have anything to do with him. I'm telling you, he has the power of fire element and now is the most important time for his cultivation. If you dare to seduce him to learn magic weapon forging from you, don't blame me for kicking you out of the school."
In front of the others, Zhu Rong acted like a madman, but in front of Zhu Rong, he was extremely honest. He chuckled and said, "Boss, don't worry. Even if you beg me to teach him how to forge magic weapons, I won't do it. I'm leaving. Brother, you have to work hard on your cultivation!"
After that, Zhu Laoer quickly slipped out.
Zhu Rong seemed to be thinking for a while, then said to Yang Bingtian, "Bingtian, you tell this kid about the rules of the Heavenly Stem Academy, I'm going out for a while."
"Yes." Yang Bingtian responded politely. Zhu Rong followed behind Zhu Rong and left the room.
Only Ji Dong and Yang Bingtian were left in the room. Yang Bingtian let out a sigh of relief. Facing the pressure brought by Zhu Rong, he was even less calm than Ji Dong. After all, Ji Dong didn't know how powerful Zhu Rong was. But to Yang Bingtian, he could never forget Zhu Rong's power for even a second.
"Ji Dong, I didn't think that you would be treated well by our teacher. From now on, don't call me President Yang, just call me brother."
Ji Dong paused for a second and said, "How can I do that, I …"
Yang Bingtian interrupted, "Although our teacher doesn't really care about the relationship between you and Zhu Rong, he has always been very strict with his disciples. If you don't agree, you will be hurting me. I am only a registered disciple, you calling me brother is because of you."
Ji Dong helplessly nodded. As a man who had lived two lives, he could clearly see that the old man named Zhu Rong had a supreme position in Yang Bingtian's heart, why couldn't he help him?
Yang Bingtian said, "Ji Dong, now that you are officially admitted by the Heavenly Stem Academy and have joined the Yin-Yang School, there are many things I can tell you. Do you know why the five empires joined hands and founded the Heavenly Stem Academy, and why the five empires rarely fought against each other?"
Ji Dong looked at Yang Bingtian in surprise. These were all the questions in his heart, and he quickly said, "Please teach me, brother."
Yang Bingtian said, "The reason for this situation is that the five empires have a common enemy."
"Common enemy?" Ji Dong's eyes revealed a trace of thinking.
"That's right, it's a common enemy. Actually, in our world, there's more than just the Five Elements Continent. Apart from that, there's another continent. Therefore, the real name of our Five Elements Continent should be the Radiant Five Elements Continent. Do you still remember the question you asked before? Why is it that after we release our magic power and the Yin Yang Crown, there will be a layer of gold around the magic power? That is the symbol of light. No matter which of the ten magicians we are, we all have the same situation, the symbol of light. "
Ji Dong said in surprise, "So, if there is Radiance, there will be Darkness? Then shouldn't the other continent be called Darkness Five Elements Continent? "
Yang Bingtian nodded with a solemn expression, and said, "You are right. Other than our Radiant Five Elements Continent, there is another slightly smaller continent not far from us, separated by the sea. It is called Darkness Five Elements Continent. There are also five empires that represent the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. It's just that their magic is inclined towards Darkness."
Ji Dong said, "Light and Darkness are completely opposite. In that case, the Darkness Five Elements Continent is the mortal enemy of the Radiant Five Elements Continent? But why haven't I heard anyone mention this when I was in Lifire City? "
Yang Bingtian said, "This is a secret of the continent. The five empires, led by the Central Earth Empire, have all done their best to block this news, in order to prevent the public from panicking. It's better for ordinary people not to know about this secret. As long as the Radiant Five Elements Continent is not invaded, it has nothing to do with them. And this situation has been maintained for thousands of years."
Ji Dong said doubtfully, "I still don't quite understand. Since the two continents are of opposite attributes and view each other with hatred, won't they start a war? Once a war breaks out, will the people of the empires not know about it? "
Yang Bingtian said, "This is what I want to tell you. It's true that the opposite attributes of the two continents have caused them to view each other as enemies, and the hatred is as deep as the sea. The war has never stopped in the past thousands of years. However, this is only a war between the minority. To put it bluntly, this is a war that belongs to us, the Magicians, and has nothing to do with the ordinary people."
Looking at the puzzled look on Ji Dong's face, Yang Bingtian continued, "Between the Radiant Five Elements Continent and the Dark Five Elements Continent, there is a vast oceanic trench with endless wind and waves. In the oceanic trench, there are many unknown but extremely powerful supreme magical beasts. Let alone ships, even birds can't cross it. Even the most powerful Magicians can't cross it by sea. This kind of geographical condition makes it impossible for the two continents to cross the sea and start a real large-scale war. Naturally, the ordinary people won't be affected."
"However, the two continents are not completely separated. Between the two continents, there is an island that is about half the size of our Southern Fire Empire. The center of the island is wide, and the two ends are narrow and long, connecting the two continents. The narrow and long terrain forms two geographical structures like a passageway. This island has become the common point between the two continents, and is named the Holy Evil Island. The passageway that extends from the two continents to the Holy Evil Island is called the Holy Evil Passageway."
Ji Dong said, "So, if we want to land on the other continent, we have to go through the Holy Evil Passageway and go through the Holy Evil Island? Which continent does this island belong to? "
Yang Bingtian smiled bitterly, "It doesn't belong to any continent. The war has been going on for thousands of years because of this Holy Evil Island. Because the passageway is narrow, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whether we have the upper hand or the other side has the upper hand, we have never been able to break through the defense at the end of the passageway. The Holy Evil Island itself is an extremely dangerous place. It has a harsh environment, all kinds of super magical beasts, as well as magical beasts from the sea. Even powerful magicians have a hard time surviving there. Therefore, for thousands of years, the two continents have been in a stalemate. This kind of war can't be decided by the number of warriors. Therefore, after the first hundred years of war, both sides left their most elite warriors at the exit of the passageway to form a defensive line, which is our Yin And Yang Magician."
"The excessive consumption of elite magicians on both sides caused a great deal of damage. Later on, the most powerful magicians from both sides negotiated and signed an agreement. The Holy Evil Passage will open once every five years. Both sides can send no more than three hundred magicians under the age of fifty to enter the Holy Evil Island and start the Holy Evil Hunt. They will kill as many magical beasts as possible to improve the living conditions of the Holy Evil Island. The day when the magical beasts on the Holy Evil Island are cleared will be the day of the final battle. Of course, the Holy Evil Hunt is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Not only do they have to kill magical beasts, they also have to be on guard against the magicians from the dark five elements continent. After each Holy Evil Hunt, less than one third of the magicians can come back from the Holy Evil Battlefield."
At this point, Ji Dong finally understood and said: "Yang Academy …. Senior Brother, does this mean that the existence of the Heavenly Academy is to provide young magicians for the Holy Evil Passage that opens once every five years?"
Yang Bingtian nodded, at the same time his eyes lit up and said: "The Heavenly Academy was created by the five great empires. It has the most powerful teachers and resources to train the most outstanding young elites in the continent. Especially the disciples of the Yin Yang Academy. Every time the Holy Evil Battlefield opens, the Yin Yang Academy has a very important position. Although there are only a few dozen of you, you are called the Heavenly Academy. The enemies of the dark five elements continent tremble in fear at the mention of your name. For many years, almost every Holy Evil Hunt has been won by our side."
Ji Dong sighed and said: "There really is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. No wonder the treatment of the Heavenly Academy is so generous, it turns out that there is such a secret behind it. Does this mean that as long as you study here, you will have to go to the Holy Evil Battlefield to die?"
Yang Bingtian could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in Ji Dong's words, so he solemnly said: "Ji Dong, you are wrong. The existence of the Heavenly Academy is indeed for the Holy Evil Hunt, but it will not force any student to participate. Today is the first day of class for you new students. Your first class will be what I have just told you. If you decide to stay in the Heavenly Academy and graduate with three championships, then you will have to go to the Holy Evil Passage and guard there for five years. Not everyone can participate in the Holy Evil Hunt. Participating in the Holy Evil Hunt is voluntary, and the second is to go through a selection process. Only the strongest young magicians can enter. After today's class, those who do not wish to guard the Holy Evil Passage can immediately leave. Furthermore, the Heavenly Academy will issue a certificate to you, and you can choose the best Advanced Magician Academy in the continent to continue your studies."
Hearing this, Ji Dong's face gradually calmed down, as if he was thinking about something.
Yang Bingtian continued: "Ji Dong, do you know how many students have chosen to leave after the first day of class since the establishment of the Heavenly Academy five hundred years ago?"
Ji Dong silently shook his head.
Yang Bingtian said: "Not more than one hundred."
"So few?" Ji Dong was somewhat surprised.
Yang Bingtian said: "To be able to guard the Holy Evil Passage is the highest honor in the world of magicians. It is to protect our continent, to protect our motherland. Without a country, how can there be a home? Taking a step back, for the past five hundred years, besides the Holy and Evil Hunt, both sides have never attacked each other's passageway. Going to the Holy and Evil passageway is the best way for a Devil Master. After all, even if you guard there for five years, you can choose not to enter the Holy and Evil Battlefield. But if you guard there for five years and return to your country, not only will you receive a generous reward, you will also receive the respect of all the Devil Masters. You will receive the best treatment no matter where you go. "
Speaking up to here, Yang Bingtian paused and looked at Ji Dong with a burning gaze: "Of course, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall must enter the Holy Evil Hunting Battlefield, this is without a doubt. Every disciple who has participated in the Holy Evil Battlefield, as long as they can come out alive, they will receive the title of nobility in their country. However, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall must enter the Holy Evil Battlefield at least twice before they are allowed to graduate. You can also choose to enter more than once, but the prerequisite is that you must not be older than fifty years old. Your senior brother, who is another official disciple of teacher, has entered the Holy Evil Battlefield three times. He is invincible there and currently has the title of Earl in our Southern Fire Empire."
