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

Chapter 66 Zhu Qing, do you also want to join Jixia Academy?

Chapter 66 Zhu Qing, do you also want to join Jixia Academy?
The bamboo pavilion is elegant and tranquil.

Having received a promise from her mentor Zhuge Liang that he would report on her behalf, Zhu Zhuqing finally felt a little relieved.

Although the final decision still rests with the enigmatic dean, this at least... means she still has a glimmer of hope!
She bowed respectfully to Zhuge Liang to express her gratitude.

Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she did not need to be so polite. He then asked Gongsun Li to take Zhu Zhuqing away and arrange a temporary place for her to rest. He himself needed to go and see the Dean immediately.

……

The dean's private room at Jixia Academy is located in the most central and heavily guarded area of the entire academy.

Yan Boshan was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a faint, almost invisible, chaotic aura.

He was reviewing the recent events and planning his next move.

The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and Yu Xiaogang's disgrace brought him a great deal of good fortune.

The Ark Core's energy reserves have once again reached a considerable level.

The establishment and successful debut of the "Hidden" organization also means that he has a hidden weapon in the shadows that can handle some matters that are inconvenient for the Jixia Academy to handle.

Mozi's successful summoning completes the final piece of the puzzle of the Three Sages of Jixia Academy, illuminating a brand new path for the future development of Jixia Academy that combines technology and soul power.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly and in the direction he had envisioned.

Just then, news of Zhuge Liang's request for an audience was transmitted through a special communication array.

"Kongming, what is it?"

Yan Boshan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze subdued, and calmly asked.

Soon, Zhuge Liang reported Zhu Zhuqing's background and the events that had occurred on the streets of Tiandou City to Yan Boshan in detail.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's report, Yan Boshan showed no surprise on his face.

He was not surprised at all by Zhu Zhuqing's arrival.

It could even be said that it was as early as when they first met that stubborn and wary girl in the black dress on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had already... vaguely foreseen today's outcome.

The reason why Zhu Zhuqing in the original novel was able to eventually get together with Dai Mubai and secure a place among the Shrek Seven Devils is because...

To a large extent, it's because... she had no choice.

Forced by her cruel family fate, she could only place all her hopes on Dai Mubai, who was also driven to the brink of despair.

Furthermore, with the protagonist Tang San's halo protecting him in the later stages, he was able to barely overcome fate and achieve a relatively satisfactory ending.

But now?

Because of my appearance, the plot of this world has already undergone earth-shattering changes!
Tang San, the biggest cheat code in the original novel, has been deactivated and is now barely able to protect himself!

Having suffered a series of setbacks, Dai Mubai had long lost his edge and succumbed to decadence and indulgence.

It's simply impossible for them to demonstrate any sense of responsibility anymore.

Shrek Academy fell apart and became a mere shell of its former self.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Zhuqing, a girl who was already meticulous and resilient, stood out.

Faced with a more powerful, more reliable, and perhaps even hopeful Jixia Academy…

What choice will she make?

The answer is self-evident.

She must be able to see reality clearly.

only…

Should we accept her?

Yan Boshan's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on his knee.

For Jixia Academy now, whether there is one more Zhu Zhuqing or one less Zhu Zhuqing, it doesn't really matter much.

With her Soul Master level strength and agility-based attack style, she might be considered a genius in the outside world.

However, in the Jixia Academy, which is full of monsters, especially in front of the King Team and the Xiaochu Team, they are not particularly outstanding.

Moreover, she's also entangled in trouble with the Star Luo Empire's royal family...

Of course, these troubles are nothing to Yanboshan now.

If he wanted to protect Zhu Zhuqing, even if the Star Luo Emperor himself came, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

The problem is that…

is it necessary?

Yan Boshan established the Jixia Academy to cultivate true kings, to gather fortune, and to accumulate power, ultimately... to rebuild the continent of kings.

He did not run a charity.

Taking in a student who has decent talent but not top-tier potential, and who might even cause some minor trouble... doesn't seem to align with his principle of maximizing profits?

but…

Yan Boshan suddenly thought of something else.

Just recently, while delving into the Ark Core, he unexpectedly discovered some... very interesting backdoors, or rather... hidden features.

These hidden features seem to suggest that... the Ark Core's capabilities extend far beyond summoning heroes and items from the King's Continent.

It might even involve other levels of dimensional travel?
Or a change in the rules of the world? This discovery broadened Yan Boshan's horizons considerably in an instant!

Perhaps... his thinking has always been constrained?
Why must we limit ourselves to this small Douluo Continent?

The myriad realms and countless planes possess even greater fortune, more magnificent civilizations, and even more... worthy challenges to conquer.

Perhaps... Douluo Continent is just a starting point in his journey to rebuild the King's Continent?
Or... a resource point?

if it is like this…

So, for the native geniuses of this world, perhaps... we could try a different approach?

It doesn't necessarily have to be developed into a copy of a top-tier hero, but rather... it can be used as a special coordinate?

Or as an experiment to explore the possibility of merging different world power systems.

For example... what if Zhu Zhuqing, a girl with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, were to come into contact with some power inheritances from the King's Continent that also focus on agility, assassination, and darkness?

Could it... produce some unexpected chemical reactions?

Thinking of this, a glint of interest flashed in Yan Boshan's eyes.

He decided to give this unexpected variable a chance.

However, it is not unconditional acceptance.

He needs to confirm something.

Was Zhu Zhuqing merely trying to escape her fate and seek a safe haven?

Or perhaps… deep within her heart, there also burned a fire that yearned for something extraordinary, a desire for power, a yearning to control her own destiny…

The heart of a strongman?!

"Kong Ming."

Yan Boshan's voice rang in Zhuge Liang's mind once again.

"Dean, what are your orders?"

Zhuge Liang responded respectfully.

"That girl named Zhu Zhuqing may join my Jixia Academy."

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

"but."

Yan Boshan's voice continued, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"The Jixia Academy is not an easy place to enter."

"Give her a question."

"Let her prove that she is qualified to enter this hall of kings."
