School Opening
Skyspan City's original name was Blue Sea City, and it was surrounded by water.
However, ten thousand years ago, the Skyspan Trading Company was located there, and the city's name was changed to Skyspan City.
The meaning was simple: "Skyspan."
The Northern Divine Mountain's Skyspan Academy was actually a subsidiary of the Skyspan Trading Company. Their teachers and funds were all provided by the trading company. Apparently, the Sea of Innocence provided a portion as well, but based on the name of the academy, it was obvious that the Skyspan Trading Company was taking the lion's share.
Anyone from the Northern Divine Mountain would suspect the Skyspan Trading Company's background. Some said that the Sea of Innocence was backing them from the shadows, while others held the opposite opinion ….
As for the Skyspan Trading Company's true identity, perhaps only those at the very top of the God Realm knew the truth.
Skyspan Academy was officially established by the Sea of Innocence. It was located in the northern part of Skyspan City, taking up nearly a tenth of the city.
It was the first and only academy on the Northern Divine Mountain, and also the only one dedicated to teaching students the Dao and dispelling doubts.
The academy's goal was to help newcomers ascend to the Divine Mountains, as well as newly ascended children who'd been living on the Divine Mountains for a long time, learn systematically and plan for the future.
Compulsory education lasted five years. If you wanted to continue your studies after five years, you could apply.
Once the academy approved, you'd also have to pay three thousand aureus per year to continue your studies.
Of course, three thousand aureus seemed like a hefty sum. But as long as you studied hard and completed the missions the academy assigned you, you could earn three thousand aureus per year as an earth supreme. Furthermore, the academy had a bounty list of missions. Completing missions earned you points, which you could use to exchange for money or treasures.
Skyspan Academy recruited students once every hundred years, and there weren't many restrictions. As long as you weren't a diviner, you could apply. Even if you were expelled, you could reapply the next time.
As a result, large numbers of earth supremes, and even sky supremes, rushed to the academy every year.
Currently, Skyspan Academy was in the middle of a fervent recruitment drive.
"Tch tch tch, there sure are a lot of people here."
The city at the foot of the Divine Mountains was large enough to house over ten million people, but compared to the cities on the Divine Mountains, it was tiny.
Skyspan Academy took up nearly a tenth of Skyspan City, but even so, the registration area was packed with people. From time to time, arguments would break out, and fights would break out.
Just now, Ye Zichen had personally seen a few people start fighting over registration. Fortunately, Skyspan Academy's people had appeared to intimidate them, and they'd all calmed down.
"How did I manage to slip in here without rhyme or reason?"
Ye Zichen, who stood outside the crowd, couldn't help but scratch his head. He had noticed the loss of his crystal card a few days ago.
The first thing he thought of was where he might have lost it. By the time he rushed back to the restaurant, Xue Mo and Chen Guangfa had already left.
Of course, he also heard that they had been waiting for him for several days. Although he was a little touched, but …
It was useless!
In the end, he still didn't get his crystal card back.
The only way to enter the Skyspan Trading Company was with a crystal card. Without a crystal card, he was an unregistered student, and the academy wouldn't accept him. In fact, they might even lock him up as a criminal with ulterior motives.
Originally, he didn't want to come here, but perhaps because he hoped he'd run into Xue Mo and the others and get his crystal card back, he'd come.
However, when he saw the sea of people before him, he couldn't help but sigh at how naive he'd been.
"If you knew I might go to the tavern to get it, why didn't you just leave the card with the owner before you left?"
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes in exasperation, sighed, glanced at Skyspan Academy's registration area, shook his head, and left.
"Take care, friend!"
At that moment, Ye Zichen heard someone call out to him from behind.
He stopped and turned around. He saw a young man running towards him with a smile on his face.
"You're a new student, aren't you?"
"You are?" Ye Zichen arched his brows, narrowed his eyes, and maintained a suitable distance.
"Hey, I'm the sixth platoon leader of Skyspan Academy's Grizzly Bear Society, Bao Jingwu." As he spoke, the youth reached out with a smile. "How should I address you, friend?"
Ye Zichen was a little dazed by this person's enthusiasm. He instinctively reached out.
"Ye Zichen."
"Brother Ye! Just from your name alone, I can tell you're extraordinary. In the future, you'll surely become a dragon among men. Would you be interested in joining our Grizzly Bear Society? I'm not exaggerating when I say that we're one of the top five student societies in Skyspan Academy. We have over a million members. It's fate that we ran into each other here, Brother Ye. How about you just join us? We have a lot of girls, and the benefits are great! "
He clearly had a rough, manly face, but at the end, he'd added a cute epilogue.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Was it disgusting?
Bao Jingwu felt disgusted too!
But he had no choice!
In truth, the recruitment ceremony was simple. All you had to do was show your crystal card and sign up. The most intense competition was between the student societies, big and small.
After all, although this was an academy, anyone who could cultivate to the supreme level was no longer a child.
Student societies represented their own power. The stronger a team was, the more resources they could receive, and the easier it was for them to complete bounty missions.
This squad leader named Bao Jingwu was helpless. Squad leaders like him were actually the lowest of the low. The higher-ups would assign them the task of recruiting new students. They had to meet the requirements in order to maintain the rank of squad leader. If they didn't, the society wouldn't fill in the gaps for them. If their squad didn't have enough members, they'd be fired.
Ordinary student societies had roughly the same standards as Huang Yang's squad: eight people.
Bao Jingwu had just been promoted to a squad leader this year. He didn't have a single member yet, so he had no choice but to do this.
"Brother Ye? Are you coming? "
Bao Jingwu suppressed his disgust, rubbed his hands, and looked at Ye Zichen expectantly.
"I …."
It was hard to refuse such kindness!
Logically speaking, if possible, Ye Zichen wouldn't disrespect Bao Jingwu. However, he didn't have a crystal card and hadn't even entered Skyspan Academy yet. How could he join a student society?
But when he saw Bao Jingwu's expectant gaze, he didn't have the heart to tell him the truth.
Cough, cough. In truth, he was afraid that if he told the truth, Bao Jingwu would scold him for wasting so much time.
"Give up. He won't join your society."
However, at that moment, he heard a chuckle. Then Ye Zichen saw Xue Mo, Chen Guangfa, and a tall, slender, and extremely beautiful woman walk over as well.
