One month later.
Inside the Snow Garden, reading the report Ye Qingqin had given him, Xiao Chenyu smiled and said:
"It seems that the recruitment went very smoothly this time. There were a total of 500 people, which is rare for so many people to meet the requirements."
After a month of recruitment, this year's recruitment season has come to a successful conclusion, with results exceeding Xiao Chenyu's expectations.
The newly enrolled students have all completed their first class and will begin their formal courses in a few days.
"The War Academy only has 100 people, and the assessments for the other academies this year are not difficult." Ye Qingqin shook her head.
"That's good too. Once this group of people is trained, or once the students who enrolled in the elementary academy last year graduate, there will be a steady stream of talented people."
Xiao Chenyu was quite optimistic about this.
Notting High Academy's admission requirements are not high. Except for the War Academy, which has a soul power restriction, the other academies only require an examination and soul power. In addition, the academy has been heavily promoted in many places, resulting in a particularly large number of applicants this year.
Unfortunately, this is only the first year, and the students' abilities vary considerably.
There are geniuses like Feng Xiaotian who are born with full soul power, ordinary soul masters who are 14 years old and level 20, and some older soul masters who are under 25 years old.
"Is it really a good idea to let those Soul Masters into the academy?" Ye Qingqin asked hesitantly.
The War Academy has two admission requirements: either a Great Soul Master under the age of 14 or a Soul Venerable under the age of 25.
The latter is naturally easier to achieve than the former.
This has led to a number of Soul Masters around 24 years old infiltrating the academy.
"Anyway, it's all about contributing to the academy's development, and besides, we also need some capable 'catfish' (internal disruptors)," Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.
"Catfish?" Ye Qingqin asked, puzzled.
"We need a group of capable people to motivate the younger students and encourage them to train harder so that they can defeat these 'seniors'!" Xiao Chenyu's lips curled up slightly.
Since the academy was newly established and had no talent of its own, it could only recruit a group of people to use first.
Xiao Chenyu looked down on these people's talents.
But that doesn't stop him from recruiting them all; after all, a teacher is teaching one person, and a teacher is teaching ten people, it's all the same.
And every student, in order to earn points, is essentially doing work for him in a roundabout way, so he can't lose out no matter what.
Xiao Chenyu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked:
"I heard Feng Xiaotian reached level 30 yesterday?"
"Yes, he is indeed a genius, and quite hardworking. He even passed the first level of the Wind Mimicry trial a few days ago," Ye Qingqin remarked.
At 12 years old and at level 30, he lived up to his reputation as someone with innate full soul power.
Moreover, this isn't just about having an empty reputation as a genius. To pass the first level of Wind Mimicry, one must withstand the combined attack of 20 three-hundred-year-old Gale Wolves and defeat them or survive for 5 minutes.
Even if Feng Xiaotian only managed to pass the level by simply stalling for time, it's still something to be praised for.
"Senior Lu, you've settled into Notting Academy these past few days, haven't you? We'll have to trouble you again for this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest," Xiao Chenyu said, then brought up another matter.
If Feng Xiaotian hadn't wasted so much time in the original story, he would definitely have been much stronger than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. It's just a pity.
"It's no trouble at all, it's all for Lingling's sake," Ye Qingqin said gently with a smile.
She knew Xiao Chenyu's plan, of course. This time, all four of them needed a spirit ring, including their daughter. Both she and Lu Jun wanted to go with them.
After all, what mother wouldn't feel at ease if her daughter acquired her first spirit ring?
Unfortunately, the start of the semester at the academy was too busy for her to get away, so she could only give Lu Jun some instructions.
Because they would be leaving shortly afterward, Xiao Chenyu gave a detailed account of the recent developments at the academy.
He recently discovered that Ye Qingqin is a rare talent in management, while Lu Jun, despite taking over the Ye family so quickly, is indeed a reckless man.
The moment a disagreement arises, the dissenters disappear. This method is most effective in Douluo Continent, which explains why the other members of the Ye family agreed so quickly.
After explaining the situation, Xiao Chenyu, along with Qian Renxue and the others, as well as the powerful combination of Porcupine Douluo and Lu Jun, embarked on their first journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Which way are you planning to go this time? Are you going to go around to Cornwall?"
During the journey, the Porcupine Douluo leaned against the edge of the carriage, his tone tinged with amusement.
"Condon City...we don't want to have any contact with them for the time being."
Upon hearing the name of the city, Xiao Chenyu felt a headache coming on.
Almost all the cities surrounding Nottingham have established a development path centered on Nottingham, and they are happy to let Nottingham reap the benefits while they get the scraps.
However, Kangdun City, which is close to the Starry Sky Forest, is different. It still maintains the concept that has been in place for hundreds of years, completely ignoring the development of the surrounding area and focusing only on its own small plot of land.
It wouldn't matter if it were any other city, but Kangdun City is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest, and can obtain a lot of resources from the Star Dou Great Forest. Xiao Chenyu really didn't want to miss it.
Unfortunately, even the Spirit Hall's intelligence system knew very little about the true controller of this city, making it seem exceptionally mysterious.
Weaker spies would simply vanish into thin air once they entered. The most outrageous thing was that a Soul Emperor from the Spirit Hall was quietly killed in this city.
Xiao Chenyu realized at that time that this city was not simple.
However, apart from the Porcupine Douluo, he didn't have much power at his disposal.
In any case, based on his feeling, it was somewhat unsafe for Lu Jun to go.
"Let's take a detour. We don't need to contact them for now. Let me think about the specific route." Xiao Chenyu shook his head.
It wasn't that he was a coward; it's just that the city's location is very special.
According to Lord Xiao, Lord Kangdun took the initiative to join the Heaven Dou Empire and established a city on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest by relying on his powerful strength.
