Bai Tianhao was also at the school gate at that moment.

He nodded to each of the newly enrolled students and their parents.

When Ye Liangchen arrived here...

Bai Tianhao walked over and nodded to Ye Liangchen with a smile.

Then she looked at Li Xue, who was next to Ye Liangchen.

He nodded as well.

However, there was some doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

At the entrance of Qinglong Academy, two enormous stone dragons coiled atop stone pillars, their eyes wide open, exuding a majestic aura. Their bodies twisted and turned, as if they were about to soar into the sky at any moment.

The ground in front of the school gate is paved with bluestone slabs, with exquisite dragon patterns carved on them, giving it a solemn appearance. On both sides of the school gate are tall walls, inlaid with glazed tiles, which shimmer brilliantly in the sunlight.

As you enter the school gate, a wide avenue comes into view. Lush trees line both sides of the avenue, and the leaves rustle in the breeze, as if telling people about the long history of Qinglong Academy.

At the end of the avenue stands a magnificent building—the teaching building of Qinglong Academy. Its exterior design is unique, shaped like a giant dragon coiled on the earth. The walls are covered with various patterns and inscriptions, all symbols of Qinglong Academy's history and culture.

"So this is the Azure Dragon Academy. Not bad. It has a solemn and imposing atmosphere. Kid, this is just the beginning. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must have a place here."

At the end of the intersection, there was a grandstand where several leaders were sitting.

Bai Tianhao also came up at this time.

"Everyone, I am very happy that you are here. You are about to become students of Qinglong Academy. I would like to congratulate you."

After he finished speaking, the audience applauded continuously.

After the applause subsided, Bai Tianhao continued speaking.

"I'm sure everyone knows about Qinglong Academy, because after you study here for four years, you will have the opportunity to study at Tianlong Academy, the top academy in the capital."

"What?"

The parents in the audience were stunned when they heard this.

Tianlong Academy is the Federation's top-tier university, bar none.

People around them kept talking about it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

And her eyes were a little moist.

"Sister Xue, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing, Liangchen. Can you grant Sister Xue a request?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen immediately agreed.

"Liangchen, promise me that after you graduate from Qinglong Academy, you will never take the exam for Tianlong Academy."

Ye Liangchen was completely shocked when he heard this.

Why did Sister Xue tell me not to participate in the Tianlong Academy's assessment, since it is a top-tier institution?

Ye Liangchen nodded again.

The clamor from the crowd below continued unabated.

At this moment, Bai Tianhao raised his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"However, this opportunity is not easily obtained."

Bai Tianhao raised his voice, his expression turning serious. The audience immediately fell silent, everyone pricking up their ears to listen.

"Each year, Qinglong Academy only has three places available for students to enter Tianlong Academy for further study. Over the next three years, you will face countless challenges, including practical exercises, assessments, and completing the academy's ultimate missions. Only students with the top ten overall grades are qualified to participate in the final competition."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen did not continue listening.

Because he didn't understand what connection Li Xue had with Tianlong Academy.

After scanning the room, Bai Tianhao continued, "Classes will officially begin tomorrow. Today, everyone should familiarize yourselves with the campus environment. Meeting adjourned."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Ye Liangchen stood there, gazing thoughtfully at the teaching building.

At this moment, a senior student dressed in black walked over and said, "Junior, you must be Ye Liangchen?"

"Yes, senior, I am Ye Liangchen."

"Junior, please come to this address tomorrow for the assessment."

Ye Liangchen looked up and stared directly at the other person, answering calmly.

"Okay, senior."

The senior student who left seemed somewhat surprised.

Because when he approached Ye Liangchen just now, he felt an invisible pressure.

Ye Liangchen and Li Xue walked and familiarized themselves with the surroundings.

However, Ye Liangchen is not currently staying at a hotel.

Because he still needs to train.

Meanwhile, the teacher in charge of the first-year elite class at Qinglong Academy came to the dean's office.

"Dean, you wanted to see me?"

"That's right, sit down, let's talk."

Long Zhan sat down.

He didn't understand why Bai Tianhao had come to find him.

"Long Zhan, how are the elite class's results lately?"

"Not bad, Dean, it's gradually improving."

Bai Tianhao brewed a cup of tea and then handed the teacup to Long Zhan.

"From the current perspective, the results are not bad, but in the long run, I think our elite class lacks a whetstone."

Upon hearing this, Long Zhan's hand, which had been holding a teacup, froze in mid-air.

"Dean, are you saying that the elite class needs external stimulation?"

“That’s right. Over the years, members of our Azure Dragon Academy who went to the Heavenly Dragon Academy have all reported the same problem: they can only stay there, but they can’t excel because they lack a sense of vigilance.”

Hearing this, Long Zhan understood.

"I have no objection to that."

"Very good. Tomorrow, everyone who enters Qinglong Academy will take the elite class exam. Those who pass the exam will be admitted to the elite class."

"Dean, in that case, what about the academy's resources..."

"With the same resources but an increased number of people, they need to rely on their strength to obtain resources. As for those who don't get resources, they can only watch."

Upon hearing this, Long Zhan nodded.

He strongly agreed with the current plan.

"This is the list, please take a look."

Long Zhan opened the list, and was stunned by the first name that caught his eye.

"Dean, is Ye Liangchen also going to participate in the assessment?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

“Well… Dean, Ye Liangchen is a commoner. I’m afraid there will be trouble if he joins.”

"Oh, what's the problem?"

After thinking it over, Long Zhan shared his thoughts.

"Ye Liangchen is a commoner; if he joins the elite class, he will probably be isolated."

"Isolation? In the elite class, I want a wolf-like mentality. As long as you are strong enough, then the so-called cold looks and isolation will not exist."

Long Zhan nodded after hearing this.

Since the dean had already spoken, he had no choice but to agree.

Inside the elite class, those present also received news of the class's expansion.

However, they did not have a high opinion of those being assessed.

Because these people have been seen as resource plunderers, and they are plundering the resources that were originally theirs.

"Everyone, don't hold back in tomorrow's assessment. Let them see the strength of our elite class."

Everyone in the elite class nodded.
