The crowd was in an uproar, but no one dared to make a loud noise, they were just secretly shocked in their hearts.

At this time, Jiang Yan stood on the high platform.

He swept his calm gaze across the entire audience and slowly spoke:

"Everyone."

"Today, the Cangwu branch is established here, not for the selfish interests of our clan."

"It's about creating a stage for the talented people from the five regions."

"If we have no one to guide us, we will eventually be lost in the dust."

"The establishment of the branch prefectures is precisely to gather hundreds of rivers, so that all five regions can produce dragons and phoenixes."

The words were sonorous and moved people's hearts.

Many people had fiery eyes, and even slightly red eyes.

Jiang Yan put his hands behind his back and continued:

"In the past, if the Five Realms' prodigies wanted to reach higher realms, they had to travel thousands of miles to join the top powers to have a chance."

"Today is different! The establishment of the branch government is intended to give everyone in the world an opportunity, so that everyone can become a dragon in the future!"

The voice just fell.

A shout erupted from the crowd:

"Chief Jiang Gao Yi!"

"Chief Jiang Gao Yi!"

"Chief Jiang Gao Yi!"

"........."

Although I don’t know who proposed the Cangwu branch plan, it’s definitely right to put the credit on Chief Jiang!

As expected, Jiang Yan smiled after hearing this.

After all, as a member of the Jiang family, who wouldn't worship the patriarch as a god?

After more than ten breaths.

The frenzied atmosphere at the scene subsided a little.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and solemnly announced:

"From today on, the Cangwu branch is officially established!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the divine light behind him suddenly dissipated.

As the glory fades.

A magnificent complex of buildings emerged.

The palaces are majestic, the pavilions stand in rows, the divine light is flowing, and the scene is magnificent.

At the very front, there is a huge stone plaque hanging high.

Four ancient and simple characters, written with vigorous and powerful strokes, are striking and imposing:

[Cangwu Branch Prefecture]!

At this moment, the whole audience was shocked!

Countless people were excited and their hearts were pounding, as if they were experiencing a historic moment.

"The Cangwu branch has finally been established!"

"From now on, whoever can enter this branch will be able to ascend to heaven in one step!"

"Cangwu disciples, who dares to disrespect?!"

Discussions arose everywhere, forming a wave of sound that shook the heavens and the earth!

Jiang Yan continued, "The branch office has just been established, and school will start tomorrow."

"If anyone else wants to join the branch office, they can come and register tomorrow."

"It's too late..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in excitement.

The eyes of countless young men suddenly became frighteningly bright, and they couldn't wait to rush forward.

Jiang Yan said no more.

He turned slightly and walked towards the Cangwu branch.

In the crowd, Li Feiyu looked at Jiang Yan's back and took a deep breath.

He then tightly grasped the token left by Jiang Ming, squeezed through the crowd, and stepped into the gate of the Cangwu branch.

at the same time.

not far away.

A young man in gray clothes walked slowly towards them.

He had a handsome face, but his eyes were extremely serious, and he was holding a token tightly in his hand.

"Ping An, Ping An, everyone is watching you...

"This time, I must not embarrass everyone!"

The young man was Ning Ping'an, who escaped from the Lizhu Realm on a flying boat and was later rescued by Jiang Daoxuan.

He was previously placed in the Luochen Sword Sect in Xuantian Realm to practice.

However, when the news of the upcoming establishment of the Cangwu branch spread, the Luochen Sword Sect was shaken.

The sect leader and a group of elders finally reached a unanimous decision - with his talent, staying in the Luochen Sword Sect would mean being buried!

So, I specially got a token for him.

Today, he finally arrived in Cangdu.

Ning Ping'an held the token, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped into the Cangwu branch.

"Now that I'm here, I have to live my life to the fullest!"

"I want everyone to know that Ning Ping'an is no worse than anyone else!"

At this moment, in front of the branch mansion, there was a lot of noise and a gathering of heroes.

Amidst countless eager gazes, the two young men officially stepped into the branch residence!

..........

at the same time.

On Cangwu Mountain.

In a remote corner of Cangwu Academy.

Several furtive figures crept up the wall.

Everyone held their breath and was very cautious.

It was Jiang Li and others who rushed back from Cangdu.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you dawdle any longer you'll be discovered!"

"Shut up! Keep your voice down. If you get caught, I'll see how you die!"

Several people were blaming each other and were preparing to climb over the wall using their hands and feet.

But at this moment——

"What? Are you finally thinking of coming back?"

A deep voice sounded behind them, instantly scaring the few people out of their wits!

Their bodies stiffened and they turned their heads little by little.

Not far away, a very familiar figure was standing there quietly.

Black hair, cold eyes, standing with hands behind his back.

His eyes were indifferent, but he seemed to be able to see through their thoughts at a glance.

Several people turned pale on the spot, and their expressions were uglier than crying.

"Chen...Brother Chen."

Their voices were trembling.

The person who came was none other than the head of Cangwu Academy - Jiang Chen!

Jiang Chen glanced at them, his eyes filled with helplessness, and shook his head: "I've told you so many times, in academia, you must remember to call out your professional title."

As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly became three degrees colder.

Jiang Li and the others felt nervous and quickly changed their tone:

"Lord Palace Master!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yeah."

Then he swept his sharp eyes over the crowd again.

"You little guys are really troublesome."

"I've only had a few days off, and you've already created so many things for me."

Jiang Li lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart, and dared not say more.

The others were so frightened that their bodies froze, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

There was silence for a few breaths.

Until Jiang Chen's voice sounded again:

"Come all over."

Everyone's heart trembled, how dare they disobey?

So, they lined up obediently, lowered their heads and followed him through the school gate.

However, the moment they stepped over the threshold, they were stunned.

Because in front of me, there are figures lined up neatly and gathered in the corner.

Everyone lowered their heads, their movements stiff, like children who had made a mistake.

What’s even worse is that there are many familiar faces among them!

"What...is going on?"

Everyone's heart was pounding and they almost knelt down on the spot.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's voice came from my ear:

"Okay, let's all go."

Jiang Li and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and had no choice but to walk forward obediently and join the "standing punishment army".

Jiang Chen retracted his gaze, looked at the young man beside him, and asked calmly:

"Are all the absent students from each academy here?"

The young man replied respectfully, "Palace Master, all the absent students from the Heavenly Court, Earthly Court, and Human Court are here."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "Where is Qianlongyuan?"

The young man lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "There is still one person who has not arrived."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes: "Who?"

"Jiang Jie."

When Jiang Chen heard this name, he suddenly felt his head swelling.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say:

"Why is it this kid again?"

Jiang Chen never expected that this kid would not change his ways despite repeated warnings and even dared to commit crimes against the wind.

Then he shook his head.

"Forget it, let's ignore him for now."

As soon as the words fell, everyone lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

Then, Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over everyone present, and spoke in a cold voice:

"Not only are they skipping classes one by one, but they've also learned to gather in groups to join in the fun, right?"

"Since you are so full of energy, then you should cultivate your spirit and soul well."

"Within ten days, each of you will be punished by copying the clan leader's quotations thirty times!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale.

Then came a series of wails:

"What...thirty times?!"

"That's a full thirty times! I can't finish it in ten days, I simply can't finish it!

At this moment, everyone felt their heads swelling and their hearts sank.

But Jiang Chen showed no intention of giving in.

"Don't worry, it's not over yet."

"Don't you like going to the branch house? Very good."

"Today, I will give you a chance."

"In the monthly exam one month from now, if anyone fails more than two items, they will all be sent to the branch office for a month of further training."

boom! ! !

This sentence is even more terrifying than the previous punishment of copying it thirty times.

"What... send it to the branch?!"

"It's over, it's over! If this gets out, won't everyone laugh at me to death?!"

"Oh my God, I don't want to go to the branch mansion!"

The scene instantly became chaotic.

If someone else heard this, they would definitely think that this reward was a great opportunity.

After all, the Cangwu branch is a place that countless young people in the five regions dream of.

But for the students of Cangwu Academy, it is a different story.

Not to mention that the gap in resources between the academy and the branch offices is huge, like heaven and earth.

Besides, what do these little guys care about the most?

It's face!

If he was really demoted to a branch government office, the news would surely spread throughout the forum immediately and even be on the hot search list!

By then, it is conceivable that he will become the laughing stock of the entire school, being pointed at and talked about by others, and he will not be able to hold his head up!

Thinking of this, everyone became extremely panicked and couldn't stop shaking.

"Master Palace Master! We must practice hard and never dare to do it again!"

"That's right! We were fooling around this time, we won't do it again next time!"

"Please rest assured, Lord, we will definitely do our best in the monthly exam!"

They made repeated assurances.

Jiang Chen looked at this scene and nodded slightly: "Well, it's good that you have some awareness."

"Remember, you are students of Cangwu Academy outside, but you are my students inside."

"If I see something like today again——"

"Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts trembled and a chill ran down their spines.

They lowered their heads and swore in their hearts that they would never act rashly again.

Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and sighed secretly in his heart:

"If we don't put pressure on these little guys, it will be lawless."

At this moment, he suddenly felt some emotion in his heart.

Well, I’ve been missing my uncle for… I don’t know how many days.

Since that day, when his uncle passed away, many heavy burdens fell on his shoulders.

He has to take responsibility for clan affairs, school matters, external storms, and all kinds of responsibilities.

He originally thought he could handle it easily, but when he was really in this position, he realized the weight of the word "responsibility".

It was precisely because of this that he understood even more clearly that he must not be soft-hearted towards these little guys.

They are the future of the family.

If you indulge yourself today, you may cause irreparable harm in the future.

Then, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, put away his thoughts, and said softly:

"Okay, let's go back to class."

After finishing his words, he turned and left.

Those who stayed behind felt as if they had been pardoned. They all ran back to their respective schools and devoted themselves to their practice.

After Jiang Chen's warning, they no longer dared to slack off.

After all, if I fail two subjects in the next monthly test, it would be a real death sentence.

……

A few hours later.

The night is getting darker.

In a room somewhere in Cangwu Mountain.

Jiang Li sat cross-legged and was regulating his breathing according to the exercises.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

"With my current foundation, I should have no problem handling the next monthly exam."

"But...if you want to be promoted to the Earth Academy, I'm afraid you still have a long way to go."

He turned his gaze to the window, looking at the dark night sky, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

In the outside world, his qualifications might be considered good.

But in the Cangwu Academy where there are so many geniuses, it is far from enough.

It should be noted that Cangwu Academy has an extremely strict promotion system.

Only the top three in the monthly exam of Renzi Academy will have the opportunity to go to Dizi Academy.

Only the top three in the monthly exam of the Dizi Academy have the hope of entering the Tianzi Academy.

As for Qianlongyuan above Tianziyuan, it is a stage that belongs only to evildoers.

"Qianlongyuan..."

Jiang Li murmured, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"If you don't have peerless beauty, how can you be worthy of the title 'Hidden Dragon'?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, but his fists were clenched in his knees.

Once upon a time, he was also arrogant.

But after taking many monthly tests, he has realized the gap between himself and others.

Last time, he tried his best and practiced very hard, but he could only rank 24th in the monthly exam of Renzi Academy.

He couldn't even make it into the top ten, let alone get promoted.

Because of this, out of frustration and at the instigation of his classmates, he skipped class for the first time today.

I originally wanted to go out and relax, but unexpectedly, I was caught by the master of the mansion.

When he thought of Jiang Chen's cold gaze, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Master, you are truly terrifying."

But on second thought, a warm feeling arose in my heart again.

"But... if the Lord of the Mansion hadn't warned us, we would have forgotten to work hard."

"Cangwu Academy is to cultivate useful talents for the clan, not a place for people to be lazy!"

Jiang Li looked up at the bright moon outside the window, his heart in turmoil.

"What happened today is a warning."

"In the future, we must never waste our time like this again."

He knew very well that he was not a person with outstanding talent.

In the academy, those true geniuses all have profound talents and amazing comprehension, as if they were born to be at the top.

And I am just one of the countless people in the world.

But he is not willing to give in!

"No matter how hard it is to catch up, I will keep up step by step."

"Even if I can only look up to them, I will try my best."

Jiang Li's eyes gradually became firm.

This is his only way!

at this time--

"Ok?"

He raised his eyebrows, as if he noticed something.

I saw a faint green light in the haystack not far away, extremely weak, but extremely abrupt.

If he hadn't been so focused at the moment, he would hardly have noticed it.

Afterwards, Jiang Li stared at the green light, and felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he quietly stood up and walked towards the dim light.

The steps were light, but the heart was beating faster and faster.
