The Tianmu Academy was located in the southeast corner of Tianmu City. The entire southeast part of Tianmu City was where all the Heavenly Masters gathered. All the elixirs, weapons, and Heavenly Technique manuals were traded there. It was also the gathering place of all the large merchant guilds.
On the way to the Tianmu Academy, the shops on both sides of the street were selling items related to cultivation. There were not that many shops in Starfire City. Previously, only the Starfire Trading Firm had been able to purchase these items. How could there be such a scene of shops everywhere?
Even Lu An could not help but look around. Although he was born in the Tabukal District, which was also under the jurisdiction of Tianmu City, he had never worked in the city other than at the docks. Only when he was sold would he be locked up in the cages around the city, not to mention shopping like this.
On both sides of the street, there were many elixirs for sale on the carpets. In front of each bottle was a nameplate to tell everyone what kind of elixir it was. Lu An was now a true level one Apothecary. He could even make the most difficult level one elixir, the Dual Four Flavor Elixir. Naturally, his horizons were much higher.
Looking at the dazzling array of elixirs, although there seemed to be many varieties, most of them were unpresentable. These items were not very attractive to true level one Heavenly Masters and were only useful to people of the Heavenly Realm. These items did not pique Lu An's interest at all.
After driving for a while, the carriage arrived at a street full of weapons. Hearing the sound of weapon forging coming from the shops on both sides of the street, Lu An finally became interested.
With Liu Yi's help, he quickly obtained all the introductory weapon forging books he could find. Although there were many books, he had no one to consult. Even the person in the black fog did not understand, so he could only explore on his own. Until now, he only had a smattering of knowledge and had not made a single weapon before.
Alchemy had reached a bottleneck for him. If he wanted to break through, he would have to make a grade two elixir. However, he did not have such thoughts at the moment. Now that he was interested in weapons, he wanted to buy some materials to test it out.
Looking at the weapons displayed in front of the shops on both sides of the street, Lu An was indeed tempted. However, he knew that now was not the time, so he did not show it.
The five carriages followed behind Sun Gongrang, and after a while, they finally arrived at the Tianmu Academy. When the students saw the Tianmu Academy for the first time, they could not help but gasp!
"Wow! How spectacular! "A student couldn't help but exclaim.
Indeed, just by looking at the entrance of the Tianmu Academy, it was much bigger than the Starfire Academy, especially the two huge stone lions in front of the Tianmu Academy. Each of them was more than ten meters tall, and a person standing below them looked very small.
"This is the Tianmu Academy?" It was also Han Ying's first time here. She frowned and asked.
"Yes." Li Hongtang nodded and said, "The Tianmu Academy has produced many talents in recent years. I heard that there are many disciples from the Tianmu Academy as well, especially in the southeast region. They make up nearly 30% of the disciples!"
Hearing this, Han Ying sucked in a breath of air. If the academy was considered ordinary, then the Midnight Court was definitely a colossus in the country. With so many students backing them up, the Tianmu Academy would probably be able to stand strong for a long time!
"I heard that the current Skylight City Lord was a student of the Skylight Academy." Li Hongtang continued, "Over the past few years, I've given a lot of money to the Academy of Tianmu, which is why it's getting bigger and bigger. Even people from other cities are coming here to study."
The more Han Ying listened, the more shocked she became. At this time, Sun Gongrang also jumped down from his horse and said to the people behind him, "Everyone, please come in!"
After that, the guards at the entrance opened the gate, and everyone got off the carriages. After handing the carriages over to the academy for safekeeping, they walked into the academy.
The Tianmu Academy also had more students than the Starfire Academy. Looking at the bustling crowd, it was as if they were entering a market. The number of students here was probably twice that of the Starfire Academy!
Along the way, the Starfire Academy students looked at the surrounding buildings and fields curiously. The Tianmu Academy students also looked at them curiously. Looking at the Starfire Academy students' uniform, which was red and black, the students knew that they were from other academies participating in the competition.
Many people even stopped what they were doing and looked at the Starfire Academy students from afar. The Starfire Academy students weren't the first to arrive, but the last. Everyone was curious.
"Look at the field over there, there seems to be people sparring there!" a student suddenly said. Everyone looked over and saw that there were indeed many students sparring there. Heaven's elemental energy and heavenly arts were fluctuating, looking very hot-blooded.
"This field is very similar to our martial arts field," Han Ying said as she looked into the distance.
"Teacher Han is right, that is indeed a martial arts field." Hearing Han Ying's words, Sun Gongrang revealed a proud smile and said, "But unlike the Starfire Academy, our martial arts fields are divided into levels."
"Levels?" Han Ying was stunned and asked, "What does that mean?"
"It's very simple. The martial arts field you see now is specially used for level seven Celestials," Sun Gongrang said with a smile. "We also have a martial arts field for level eight Celestials and level nine Celestials. We have everything from level one to level nine, which means that we have nine martial arts fields. "
Hearing this, Han Ying nodded in realization and was secretly shocked by the size of the Tianmu Academy. The Starfire Academy only had three martial arts fields like this, but the Tianmu Academy actually had a few of them!
After walking for a while, they indeed saw another martial arts field. The battles in this field were obviously more ferocious than the previous one. All kinds of heavenly arts were released, and the intensity of the battle was breathtaking. Even the representative students of Starfire Academy were attracted by it, all of them looking over.
Naturally, Han Ying also noticed and could not help but frown. "That is …"
"It's the martial arts field for level nine Celestials," Sun Gongrang revealed an even prouder smile and said loudly.
Level nine Celestials?
Han Ying hurriedly took a closer look. Indeed, from the heavenly origin energy and heavenly arts released, it was the strength of a level nine Celestial. However, there were so many people in the martial arts field. Could they all be level nine Celestials?
Looking over, there were close to a hundred people!
And this was only the sparring in the martial arts field. The total number of level nine Celestials in the Starfire Academy did not even add up to 50 people. The difference was like heaven and earth!
Seeing that everyone was staring at the martial arts field, Sun Gongrang raised his head and said, "Since everyone is so interested, why not take a look at the martial arts field? Some academies have visited it before, so there's no need to be polite! "
Hearing this, Han Ying looked at Li Hongtang. Li Hongtang frowned and thought for a while. After glancing at Lu An and Fu Yu in the corner, he nodded and said to Li Hongtang, "Let's go and have a look!"
"Please!" Sun Gongrang smiled and said.
After speaking, the Starfire Academy group followed behind Sun Gongrang and walked towards the martial arts field. When they arrived at the training field, the people who were sparring with each other also saw the visitors. They all stopped and looked over.
Clap, clap, clap!
Sun Gongrang clapped his hands and said loudly to all the students, "Gather here!"
Hearing this, all the students ran over and stood in front of Sun Gongrang, looking at the Starfire Academy group. Every student was curiously sizing up the Starfire Academy group, their eyes sweeping over each and every one of them.
"Let me introduce everyone, these are the distinguished guests of the Starfire Academy. They are the representatives for the Academy Ranking Tournament in three days!" Sun Gongrang walked back and forth in front of the students and said loudly, "Everyone, welcome!"
Instantly, the students started clapping. The Starfire Academy group smiled and returned the greeting with cupped fists.
After the applause stopped, Sun Gongrang looked at Li Hongtang and said with a smile, "Since they are guests, why don't we let them display some of their strength and Teacher Li give them some pointers?"
Li Hongtang was stunned. It just so happened that he also wanted to see the strength of the Tianmu Academy, so he nodded and said, "Very well."
Sun Gongrang smiled and turned to the students. He pointed at a tall male student and said, "You, step out!"
Hearing this, the male student immediately walked out from the group and stood in front of the crowd. Not only was this person tall, his muscles were also very explosive and even looked a little scary, causing the Starfire Academy students to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Show Teacher Li your strength!" Sun Gongrang said loudly.
"Yes!" The person shouted loudly, and then heaven essence energy surged from his dantian to his entire body. In an instant, a white light appeared on his palms, and it was even a little dazzling!
"Come out!" The person roared again and waved his hands in front of him. Instantly, an icicle broke out from the ground!
This was not the end. After the first icicle, three more icicles appeared consecutively before stopping. Each icicle was half a zhang tall, and there were many sharp icicles on it! If someone were to land on it or be pierced by the icicles from the ground, it would probably pierce through their body and there would be no chance of survival!
Looking at the icicles emitting a cold light, the Starfire Academy students could not help but shudder!
This kind of strength, so strong!
Just based on this move, at least half of the ten students in the group would not be able to do it! This move not only required the support of a strong heaven essence energy, but also enough explosive power. More importantly, this must be a kind of heaven art!
Han Ying frowned and asked seriously, "He's a participating student?"
"Of course not, they're just students here to learn from each other and are not qualified to participate. If they want to participate, they must be in the top ten, "Sun Gongrang said with a laugh, and there was an indescribable pride in his laughter.
However, when the students heard the answer, their faces turned ugly. Not only them, but even Han Ying's face turned ugly.
"Oh right, since you're here, you can also learn from them. They're willing to be the representative team's punching bag, so it's a good opportunity for them to learn!" Sun Gongrang said with a laugh, as if he had suddenly thought of such a good idea. The students behind him also revealed sinister smiles. Who didn't know the strength of Starfire Academy?
Li Hongtang frowned and looked at the gloating students in front of him, then at the gloating students behind him. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, they've been rushing all this time, let them rest for a while."
