Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 21: The Jixia Kings Team is established, and Dugu Yan enrolls!

The incident in the Starry Sky Forest was quickly forgotten.

For Yan Boshan, neither Shrek Academy's crushing defeat nor Yu Xiaogang's tragic end mattered.

They were all just insignificant, idle moves in his grand scheme.

What's truly important.

It is the development of Jixia Academy, the accumulation of fortune, and the reforging of the King's Continent.

Yan Boshan led the slightly excited students, as well as the newly joined Yuan Ge.

When they returned to the Jixia Academy, hidden deep in the Sunset Forest, a place like a paradise.

Dugu Bo greeted Yan Boshan and the others the moment they entered.

The old poison master had a strange look on his face.

"Dean, you're finally back."

Dugu Bo first bowed respectfully.

Then, somewhat hesitantly, he said:
"Two days ago, someone from Tiandou City sent an invitation."

"Oh?"

Yan Boshan raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

"It was an invitation personally sent by Emperor Xueye."

Dugu Bo's tone was somewhat complicated.

"It was said to be to thank Jixia Academy for training talents for the empire (although Jixia did not train them), and also to celebrate a recent festival (a random excuse)."

I plan to host a banquet at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace in about two weeks, and invite you, Dean, as well as several of the academy's main instructors, to attend.

A banquet?

Upon hearing this, Yan Boshan's lips curled into a knowing smile.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

He knew perfectly well what the Great Emperor was up to on this snowy night.

It's nothing more than applying for college qualifications through Dugu Bo last time.

They learned that there might be one or even more powerful figures at the Title Douluo level behind Jixia Academy.

They couldn't sit still any longer.

This was an attempt to use the banquet as a pretext to probe the inner workings of the Jixia Academy.

While we're at it, let's see if there's any possibility of winning them over.

After all, the Tiandou Empire may seem powerful today.

However, facing the increasingly arrogant and ambitious Spirit Hall, they also feel immense pressure.

If we could bring the mysterious and powerful Jixia Academy to our side...

This is undoubtedly a great help.

pity…

The Snow Night Emperor miscalculated.

Yan Boshan's goal has never been to be subservient to others, nor has it been to participate in the power struggle between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall.

What he wants is the fortune of the entire Douluo Continent.

It is the absolute ruler who transcends all forces.

Is this mere gesture of goodwill from the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

He really didn't take it to heart.

"Oh, I see."

Yan Boshan simply responded with a faint "yes" and didn't ask any further questions, clearly showing little interest in the matter.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo understood.

Although he had received some help from Prince Xuexing, he had some connection with the Tiandou royal family.

But ever since he witnessed the unpredictable methods of Jixia Academy and the unfathomable strength of Dean Yan Boshan...

He completely tied himself to the Jixia Academy.

In his eyes, neither the Heavenly Dou Empire nor the royal princes were worth a blade of grass at the Jixia Academy.

not to mention.

Zhuangzi's method of suppressing his potent poison was remarkably effective, and there was even a glimmer of hope that it could be eradicated.

Granddaughter Dugu Yan also received the best training at the academy…

Today's him.

Having long considered himself a member of the Jixia Academy, he naturally didn't care much about things outside the academy.

Since the dean doesn't care, then it doesn't matter whether we go to this so-called royal banquet or not.

"By the way, Dean."

Dugu Bo seemed to remember something and added something else.

"Recently, things seem to be getting more and more lively on the mainland, with everyone talking about... the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies?
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yan Boshan's eyes.

This competition.

He was somewhat interested.

In the original story, this was the stage where the Shrek Seven Devils truly made a name for themselves and began to show their talents.

Although Shrek Academy has been "played" half-crippled by him, Tang San is crippled, Xiao Wu has been captured, Zhao Wuji is dead, and Yu Xiaogang is also crippled...

Even assembling a team to participate is a problem.

But that doesn't stop it.

He made the name of Jixia Academy resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent through this competition! This was also an excellent opportunity to gather fortune and expand influence.

"The Soul Master Tournament, huh..."

Yan Boshan pondered for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Very well, it's time to let the world see what a true genius is."

His gaze swept over the energetic and increasingly skilled disciples behind him, and he had already made his decision.

"Give me the order!"

Although Yan Boshan's voice was not loud, it clearly resonated throughout the entire Jixia Academy.

"All faculty members and students, assemble immediately at the central square!"

Once the order was given, the entire Jixia Academy sprang into action instantly.

Whether it's a mentor who is in seclusion for self-cultivation or a student who is exchanging ideas and learning from each other.

They all immediately put down what they were doing and headed towards the huge square in the center of the academy.

In just a short moment.

The central square was already packed with people.

It was led by a group of mentors including Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Zhang Liang.

Behind him was a dark mass of young figures.

After six years of development and external enrollment.

Today's Jixia Academy is no longer the makeshift organization with only a handful of people it once was.

The number of students in the college is no less than three hundred.

These students come from all over the country and have different backgrounds.

There are prodigies like Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who come from top sects or powerful families.

Many of them come from ordinary families, or even slums.

However, those from humble backgrounds who passed the selection process of Jixia Academy were chosen by those with exceptional talent or unwavering will.

Their talents varied, and their martial spirits were incredibly diverse.

However, under the management philosophy of "education for all and equal treatment" of Jixia Academy.

Everyone received top-tier cultivation resources, the most comprehensive theoretical guidance, and... most importantly.

It is taught personally by sages such as Confucius and Zhuge Liang, on shaping character, temperament, and vision.

It can be said that the more than 300 Jixia students standing in the square today are...

Regardless of their strength, they can all be considered among the most elite and promising young generation in the Douluo Continent.

Their eyes were filled with a sense of belonging to the academy.

Awe of the dean and... aspirations and confidence for the future.

Yanbo Mountain is suspended above the square.

His gaze calmly swept over the young and energetic faces below, and a sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.

This is the foundation upon which he will one day conquer the world.

Once everyone had arrived, Yan Boshan cleared his throat and announced loudly:
"Everyone!"

"As you all probably know, the new Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin!"

"This competition is the highest stage for the younger generation of Soul Masters across the continent to showcase themselves."

This is also an excellent opportunity to test the teaching achievements of our Jixia Academy!

"So, I decide!"

Yan Boshan's voice suddenly rose, filled with unquestionable authority.

"Two teams from our Jixia Academy will participate in this competition."

"Firstly, there is the 'Jixia Kings Team,' which represents the strongest fighting force in our academy, and their only goal is the championship!"

"Secondly, it is the 'Jixia Xiaochu Team,' which symbolizes the reserve elite of our institute."

The goal remains the same—to surpass limits and uphold the prestige of our institute!

"Starting today, the academy will officially begin the selection process for participating team members."

"All students under the age of twenty who have a soul power level of thirty-five or above have the opportunity to be selected."

"The selection process will be conducted in accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency, and will be jointly supervised by all the mentors."

"The final selected ones will represent our Jixia Academy in the battles across the continent, and be honored with glory!"

Yan Boshan's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a huge uproar in the entire square.

Participate in the Continental Soul Master Tournament?
Do we need to form two more teams?

A burning flame instantly ignited in the eyes of all the students.

Those ordinary students who joined later were especially excited and trembling.

This is the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, a stage they never dared to dream of before.

Now, they actually have the opportunity to represent the mysterious and powerful Jixia Academy in the competition?
What an honor is this?

In an instant, the entire square was filled with fervor and a boiling sense of fighting spirit.

Everyone was eager to give it their all in the upcoming selection process, hoping to secure that coveted spot in the competition.

Looking at the faces below, filled with longing and fighting spirit, Yan Boshan nodded in satisfaction.

Very good, morale is good.

The competition has begun!
The renowned name of Jixia Academy will soon resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
