After practicing the Ten Thousand Battles Heart Sutra from beginning to end, Jiang Yuan was freed from the shackles of the Demon God Body for the first time. No matter how he suppressed it before, the Demon God Body still had an extremely strong demonic ability. Even after he practiced the Thunder Control, it was to no avail; the demonic transformation would still occur.
However, this demonic transformation was completely suppressed under the Ten Thousand Battles Heart Technique. From then on, Thunder Control lost its function and became a skill that could be discarded.
"Should I be considered a good student now?"
Jiang Yuan had a faint smile on his lips. At this moment, his whole body was covered with demonic patterns, but his temperament was unusually elegant and proud. To describe it in a very apt way, it was: "I may have tattoos, but I am a good person."
Jiang Yuan finished eating the fried rice left by Gu Anlei, then casually walked towards the playground with a casual bag on his shoulder.
The annual welcoming ceremony of Huasheng Academy is definitely a major event in Zhongzhou. In addition to the academy's teachers and students, there are also representative teams sent by other major forces.
Among the aristocratic families, the three great divine emperor families are the uncrowned kings; among the merchants, the Chaoyuan Merchant Guild is the leader; and there are countless other forces, large and small. The delegations from outside the school alone number in the thousands. It is conceivable how important Huasheng Academy is to these forces.
This is understandable. Both powerful families and influential groups attach great importance to the addition of fresh blood, and starting with Huasheng Academy is undoubtedly the safest and most convenient way. Perhaps in a few years, one of the students from Huasheng Academy will be a guest of honor of various powerful groups.
"The Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is here too!"
Jiang Yuan turned his gaze toward the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately, Liu Zhaodi was not among the dozen or so people in the delegation.
"Is this girl still angry with me?" Jiang Yuan had been hoping to see the pretty girl he had been longing for at the freshman welcome ceremony, but he didn't expect to be disappointed.
Jiang Yuan sighed. He knew Liu Zhaodi's thoughts, and he also knew how foolish he was. Both Bu Yao and Liu Zhaodi hoped that the only person they loved would also be the only person who loved them, but things didn't go as planned. He was always pushing their limits of tolerance for him because of love.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
As Feng Qingzi delivered his speech on stage, the densely packed freshmen, whose numbers far exceeded those of an army, gradually quieted down. Seeing this, he continued, "Everyone knows what day it is today. Amidst blood and fire, Huasheng Academy welcomes its sixth cohort of freshmen!"
As soon as Feng Qingzi finished speaking, a hundred cannons fired in unison, and a huge scroll unfolded in the air. The scroll depicted the history of the founding of Huasheng Academy. When foreign tribes invaded, countless people of Chinese patriotism formed a resistance force, which gradually developed into the Huasheng Academy we know today. It is the first academy in Zhongzhou founded on a nationality, and its purpose is to protect and continue human civilization.
As the scroll was fully unfurled, Feng Qingzi solemnly declared: "Students, in this era of the convergence of all races and the rise of alien races, the wheels of history have inevitably turned upon us. Becoming disciples of Huasheng Academy is both unfortunate and fortunate for you! Because the future of humanity needs you; you will be the ones fighting on the front lines. You will not enjoy the peaceful life within the safe zone, and you may not even meet a good end!"
The words, each one a piercing blow, echoed across the playground. The sixth cohort of freshmen were somewhat agitated upon hearing them. Before coming to the academy, they only knew that it would allow them to rise above others and gain a good reputation, but they never expected to be met with such a profound sense of crisis.
Feng Qingzi calmly looked at the chaotic crowd below. Among the 100,000 new students, two rows could be clearly seen. The people in the very middle were not moved by his words, while almost everyone else was talking about it.
The reason is simple: the middle group consists of survivors of the Battle of Seoul. These are people who have truly experienced the baptism of war, and none of them are useless. The others, on the other hand, are just temporary reinforcements, of varying quality. Not to mention talent and character, even their integrity cannot be guaranteed.
"Quiet!"
Feng Qingzi gave a soft shout, but the tone of her voice sent chills down the spines of the freshmen, and the chattering freshmen immediately fell silent.
He then continued, “Coming to Hua Sheng Academy, your responsibility goes beyond just surviving! You come here bearing the glory of Hua Sheng Academy on your shoulders; you come here with the conviction to sacrifice yourself for your race. Although you face mountains of knives and seas of fire, remember, behind you stands your race and your nation!”
His words ignited the passion of 90% of the new students, while only a few seasoned veterans remained indifferent, including Jiang Yuan.
"Sacrifice yourself for your race! You speak so righteously, why don't you go yourselves!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled inwardly. He had already sacrificed himself once, leading millions of humans from the entire Southern City to do so, but what did he gain in the end? Was he sealed forever within the source? Or did he die without a complete corpse and even a title?
"The welcoming ceremony is now beginning! Next up are the new students who have made it into the rankings in this assessment. Those who have their names called, please come forward."
"First place: Lie Shanming from the Psionic Academy, with a total score of 138,515. He is authorized as a Crystal Diamond Disciple and awarded a Heavenly Spirit-level weapon. He will also enjoy a monthly allowance of 1,000 top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals."

"..."
