Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Not far from the Black Horn Region lies the Canaan Academy, which is known as the number one institution of learning on the continent.

Of course, everyone knows how exaggerated the title of the number one university on the continent is. The most fundamental reason is that there is indeed no larger university than Canaan College on the continent.

However, the title of the best university on the continent is a thing of the past.

During these three years, under the encouragement of Xiao Yan, the Zhongzhou Tianhe Alliance established many academies in various regions. It was obvious that the resources in Zhongzhou, even if they were just used casually, were far from comparable to those of Canaan College. Therefore, the title of Canaan College, the number one institution of learning on the continent, was naturally handed over to others.

In this regard, Su Qian, the great elder who is actually in power at Canaan College, did not care that much. Canaan College had already undergone major reforms after Xiao Yan left the school, and Su Qian's mentality had also changed greatly. He no longer cared that much about such an empty title.

After parting with Xiao Yan and others in the Black Horn Region, Han Yue came to Canaan College to see her alma mater. Since she had nothing to do today, she just regarded it as a revisit to an old place. Hu Jia came back with her considering that she hadn't seen Hu Qian for a while. As for Han Xue, she came along because she was curious about what the college her sister attended was like.

"Ah? Grandpa isn't here?"

Hu Jia stood in the office of the dean of studies in the outer courtyard, raised her eyebrows and looked at the dean of studies in confusion, and the latter nodded slightly and replied.

"Because it seems that a very distinguished guest has come to the inner courtyard, Dean Hu Qian has gone to the inner courtyard to greet him this morning."

"Is that so?" Hu Jia nodded in understanding, then turned around and called Han Yue and Han Xue, "Then let's go to the inner courtyard."

Ever since Xiao Yan unified the Black Horn Region, Su Qian changed the entire system of the academy. The outer college and the inner college now only differ in the content of study. There is no longer any rule that the outer college must win the competition before entering the inner college. As long as one is a student or holds a pass from the academy, one can enter the inner college if he wants.

Hu Jia brought the two of them to the portal of the outer courtyard. It was too troublesome to use Warcraft to travel back and forth between the inner and outer courtyards. So Su Qian and Hu Qian went to the Black Horn Region to find Xiao Mei to ask for investment. Xiao Mei was generous and with a wave of her hand, she gave hundreds of millions of funds directly to her alma mater. Su Qian then had enough funds to build a space portal leading directly to the inner courtyard.

This amount of money is really nothing to Xiao Mei. She has more than ten billion gold coins in her account, which she earned from filming over the years.

Of course, she couldn't earn so much by herself. After all, Xiao Mei was good at filming, but she was not that good in business. It was Ya Fei who took the initiative to find her and reach an agreement. She earned so much thanks to Ya Fei's publicity and Black Horn Domain's business status.

Although Xiao Mei and Ya Fei had always been at odds in the past, they no longer cared about each other after getting along for so many years. Moreover, although Xiao Mei didn't spend much money normally, who would complain about having too little money?
Today, Xiao Mei is not only famous in the Black Horn Region, she has also become a well-known director in the Northwest Continent. Even if she does nothing every year, she can collect hundreds of millions in copyright fees just by lying down!

After entering the portal, Hu Jia and the other two arrived at the inner courtyard safely. On the way to the teaching department, Han Xue looked at Han Yue curiously and asked softly.

"Sister, why do I feel that the outer courtyard is a little different from what you told me before?" Han Xue put her hands behind her back and looked at the students in the inner courtyard who were either exchanging cultivation experiences or buying and selling cultivation tools. "On the contrary, the inner courtyard is pretty much the same as what you described."

When Hu Jia heard Han Xue's question, she turned her head slightly and explained.

"Because of Xiao Yan's influence, Great Elder Su Qian made a clear division between the inner and outer courtyards. If you want to practice, you can come to the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard teaches everything other than practice, such as filming, carpentry, cooking, etc."

Having said that, Hu Jia spread his hands lightly.

"At first, the Dean of Inner College was quite unhappy about it. I didn't expect that after the Outer College changed its teaching program, it became more popular than before. After all, not many people have the talent for cultivation. It's better to learn other things that interest you."

"I see."

Han Xue was suddenly enlightened. At this time, the three of them also came to the teaching office. Hu Jia glanced at the two senior students guarding the door. When they saw Hu Jia, they were both stunned, and then greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Hu Jia, long time no see."

"Ah~ Long time no see." Hu Jia crossed her arms and pouted towards the teaching department, "My grandpa is in there, right?"

"Yes, we have an important guest visiting today, and Dean Hu Qian came here early in the morning."

One of the senior students answered truthfully. Hu Jia nodded slightly and was about to go in, but was quickly stopped by the two students.

"Hey hey hey! Senior Hu Jia, you can't go in there!"

"Yes, Great Elder Su Qian specifically instructed that no one is allowed to come in. If we let you in, we will both be punished!"

Looking at the panicked expressions of the two, Hu Jia grinned in displeasure.

"Huh? How distinguished a guest is he? Even I can't come in?"

Hu Jia's face was full of dissatisfaction. He pushed the two people away and walked inside. Seeing that Hu Jia wanted to force his way in, the two senior students became really anxious and blocked the door tightly.

"Senior Hu Jia, please don't make things difficult for us!"

"Get out of the way! Don't force me to do it!"

Hu Jia glanced at the two of them unhappily, but Han Yue behind them couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Hu Jia's shoulder to persuade her.

"Hu Jia, how about we just wait outside?"

"What are you waiting for? Even Xiao Yan wouldn't make such a big show. I want to see how noble the people inside are!"

Perhaps it's because he has known Xiao Yan for a long time, or maybe it's because he has been in the Black Horn Region for too long, but Hu Jia now really hates these ostentatious things.

Speaking of which, not to mention Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan should be the one with the highest status in the entire Northwest Continent, right? Even when Xiao Yan returned to the Black Horn Region, he didn't act so arrogantly, which made Hu Jia naturally think that no matter how high one's status is, one should not act arrogantly.

Although Hu Jia was unhappy with Xiao Yan in the academy at first, that was also because they were love rivals, although Xiao Yan himself might not have taken it seriously at all.

Putting this aside, Xiao Yan's image in Hu Jia's eyes can be said to be quite good. Hu Jia sometimes even thinks that if Xiao Yan was a girl, she might like him more than Xun'er. His personality is really impeccable.

Therefore, Hu Jia's first impression of the distinguished guest, whose identity was unknown and who acted more arrogant than Xiao Yan, was one of dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Hu Jia was determined to rush in, the two students tried their best to stop him. Although Hu Jia said he would take action, it was impossible for him to really do such a thing. After all, the two of them were just following orders. What would it mean if you beat up two students?
Just as several people were arguing and making noise at the door of the teaching office, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Hu Qian's unhappy expression appeared in front of them.

"What are you arguing about at the door?"

"grandfather."

Seeing Hu Qian coming out, Hu Jia stopped making trouble. The two senior students also breathed a sigh of relief and quietly stepped aside.

Anyway, they did not let Hu Jia in as instructed. Now that Hu Qian has come out, it is none of their business whether Hu Jia can go in or not.

"Dean Hu Qian, long time no see."

Han Yue bowed slightly and greeted Hu Qian when she saw him. Hu Qian also looked at Han Yue with some surprise.

"Han Yue, it's been a long time since we last met." Hu Qian naturally had an impression of this student who was on the inner courtyard list and Zi Yan's nanny. His eyes were kinder, "Come back to the academy to visit?"

"Well, I just arrived in Black Horn today due to family business, and I happened to have some free time, so I came back to the academy to take a look."

As soon as Han Yue finished speaking, Hu Jia waved her hand.

"Grandpa, listen to me, Xiao Yan is back too, and he's in the Black Horn Region now." "Oh! Xiao Yan is back?!"

Hu Qian's eyes lit up instantly. They had heard a lot about what Xiao Yan had done in Zhongzhou in the past few years, especially the establishment and development of the Tianhe Alliance in the past three years, which made Hu Qian feel proud.

This student graduated from their external college. Although he only stayed for more than half a year, he has made us proud, hasn't he?
"Xiao Yan?"

At this time, a deep voice came from the teaching department, and then an old man who looked quite energetic walked out slowly, followed by another short-haired old man and the inner courtyard elder Su Qian. Su Qian's face revealed undisguised respect.

The spirited old man turned his head slightly to glance at Su Qian and asked softly.

"Su Qian, I remember that this Xiao Yan is the student you mentioned just now, right?"

"Yes, it was because of him that the Black Horn Region was unified, and I made such a big reform to the academy." Su Qian said, lowering his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Please don't blame me."

"Hahaha! Why should I blame you? Isn't this academy more lively than when I left?"

The spirited old man laughed loudly and seemed quite satisfied with the changes in the academy. The short-haired old man raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly.

"I have heard of Xiao Yan's name in the past two years. He has gathered eight out of ten of the strength of the entire Zhongzhou into one alliance. This feat is truly amazing and unprecedented."

"Haha~ What do you think, Lao Xiao? I said that my establishment of this academy was not in vain, right?"

The spirited old man laughed very proudly, as if Xiao Yan had won him a lot of face.

Then the spirited old man gently stroked his beard, with curiosity in his eyes.

"Now that we've come to this, I really want to see this Xiao Yan in person." The spirited old man said, turning his head to look at the short-haired old man, "Old Xiao, are you going?"

"The Black Horn Region isn't far away anyway, so there's no harm in going and taking a look."

The short-haired old man said this calmly, and Hu Jia and the other two did not interrupt him the whole time.

Not to mention Su Qian, this spirited old man and the short-haired old man behind him are obviously not ordinary people. One can feel it just from the aura faintly emanating from them.

"Grandpa, who are these two?"

Hu Jia leaned close to Hu Qian's ear and asked in a low voice. Before Hu Qian could answer, Su Qian coughed twice violently, which startled Hu Jia and made her stand up straight. Then Su Qian glanced at her with dissatisfaction and raised his hand to reach out to the spirited old man.

"This is the founder and president of Canaan College, Mang Tianchi."

"And the guy next to him is the dean's sworn brother, Lei Xiao."

Mang Tianchi? The rumored dean?!
Hu Jia and Han Yue were suddenly startled. They had never heard of the name Lei Xiao, but they had heard the name Mang Tianchi many times when they were in college.

"Meet the dean!"

Hu Jia and Han Yue lowered their heads at the same time, and Han Xue also had her head pressed down by Han Yue.

"Hahaha~ lift your head up, don't be so reserved."

It can be seen that Mang Tianchi is a very generous person. He didn't care about Hu Jia's rudeness just now. When he was about to say something else, he suddenly frowned and turned his eyes sharply in one direction. The same thing happened to Lei Xiao behind him.

Mang Tianchi frowned and pointed in that direction and asked Su Qian.

"Su Qian, I haven't been back for a long time. Is that the direction of the Black Horn Region?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Su Qian's eyes revealed doubt, while Mang Tianchi and Lei Xiao looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

There are other Dou Sheng strongmen coming here besides them.

"Would you like to go and take a look?"

Mang Tianchi curled his lips slightly and asked Lei Xiao. Lei Xiao looked at Mang Tianchi and sighed after a moment.

"If you want to go, then go. Why ask for my opinion?"

"Didn't I invite you to come here for a stroll? I can't leave you here alone, can I?" Mang Tianchi said, stroking his beard and grinning, "Besides, my super outstanding student is still there. If something happens and he can't solve it himself, I have to help him as the dean, right?"

Lei Xiao looked at Mang Tianchi helplessly and sighed again.

"Okay, if you want to go, just go. No need to say so much."

After saying this, Lei Xiao's figure disappeared instantly, causing Mang Tianchi to raise his eyebrows suddenly.

"Hey! This old guy doesn't even bother to listen to me." Then Mang Tianchi said to Su Qian: "Su Qian, you should bring your people with you later. I will leave first."

As the words fell, Mang Tianchi's figure disappeared in an instant. Only after the two left did Hu Jia let out a long sigh and looked at Hu Qian in confusion.

"Grandpa, hasn't this dean been missing for decades? Why is he back suddenly?"

"Hasn't Xiao Yan made quite a splash in Zhongzhou in recent years? The dean heard that Xiao Yan graduated from Canaan College, so he came back to take a look."

Hu Qian explained this, and Su Qian came over with a helpless look on his face to correct him.

"To be precise, it was because Xiao Yan remembered that he had built an academy here, so he came back to see if the academy was still there."

"Forehead"

After hearing Su Qian's words, not only Hu Jia, but even Han Yue couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Is this dean a little too capricious?

"Let's go and take a look." Su Qian said, looking in the direction of the Black Horn Region. "But even if something really happened in the Black Horn Region, there's no need to worry."

Then, in the shocked gazes of Hu Jia and others, Su Qian slowly revealed.

"After all, the strength of those two is the real early stage of three-star fighting saint." (End of this chapter)
