"Registering at Starry Sky Academy: A Surprising Proposal"

"Register at Starry Sky Academy?" Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

At that moment, Li Cheng and several guards from Li Mansion approached from a distance. They were accompanying Li Cheng, who had brought his daughter, Li Lu, to the Royal City.

"Uncle," Huang Xiaolong greeted Li Cheng and took the opportunity to step away from Li Lu's embrace.

Li Cheng looked at Huang Xiaolong with a meaningful gaze and smiled. "Xiaolong, you've grown a lot in these past months. Li Lu has missed you during this time."

"Father, what are you saying?" Li Lu blushed and spoke with a tender voice, stamping her small feet.

Li Cheng chuckled and then turned to face Fei Hou, who was standing behind Huang Xiaolong. He respectfully greeted him, "Greetings, Senior Fei Hou." Fei Hou nodded indifferently.

"Xiaolong, have you found a place to stay? Or do you want to stay with us?" Li Lu asked.

Li Family had a prosperous silk business and owned small shops and mansions in the Royal City. However, their mansion was only 200 square meters, nothing compared to Huang Xiaolong's Tianxuan Mansion.

"No need, I have found a place," Huang Xiaolong replied as he looked at Li Lu.

Li Lu pouted, slightly disappointed.

But then a smile appeared on her face, revealing two small dimples. "The Royal City is much more exciting than our Canglan County city. Come, let's go for a stroll together!" She reached out and took Huang Xiaolong's hand.

A stroll? Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brow.

Nevertheless, he was eventually led by Li Lu on a one-hour stroll.

After an hour, Huang Xiaolong was finally released. He and Fei Hou returned to Marshal Mansion. They had left in the morning and now it was already the afternoon.

Upon their return to Marshal Mansion, Huang Xiaolong immediately called for Marshal Haotian.

"Sect Master," Haotian greeted respectfully as he arrived and performed a respectful bow to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong gestured for him to rise and then said to Fei Hou and Haotian, "Please have a seat," pointing to nearby chairs.

Once the two men were seated, Huang Xiaolong turned to Haotian and asked, "I want to know more about Starry Sky Academy."

Haotian was surprised that the Sect Master had called him to inquire about Starry Sky Academy. Starry Sky Academy was the top school in Luo Tong Kingdom, so did the Sect Master want to enroll there?

Without delay, Haotian proceeded to provide a detailed report on the history and system of Starry Sky Academy to Huang Xiaolong.

He spoke for twenty minutes before asking, "Sect Master, do you wish to register at Starry Sky Academy?"

Huang Xiaolong practiced Asura Arts and possessed Asura Sword Arts and Asura Ghost Claw battle skills. In Huang Xiaolong's opinion, it didn't matter whether he entered Starry Sky Academy or not. But when Haotian asked, Huang Xiaolong did not deny it.

At that moment, Haotian continued, "If Sect Master joins Starry Sky Academy, it will greatly benefit your cultivation. Starry Sky Academy holds Class Competitions, Grade Competitions, and Academy General Competitions each year.

The winners of each competition have the opportunity to enter Dragon Flame Valley for cultivation. Dragon Flame Valley is a treasure trove that not only strengthens one's physical body but also improves the quality of one's Battle Qi!"

"Dragon Flame Valley can strengthen the body and improve Battle Qi quality!" Huang Xiaolong was startled. It was the first time he had heard of something that could enhance Battle Qi quality.

"That's right, Sect Master. There is a natural dragon vein at the bottom of Dragon Flame Valley. Cultivating there can indeed strengthen the body and improve Battle Qi quality. However, it is only effective for those below Rank 10. After reaching Rank 10, the effect of cultivation in Dragon Flame Valley diminishes," Fei Hou added.

A natural dragon vein!

Starry Sky Academy really had a natural dragon vein!

Huang Xiaolong's eyes shimmered. Although it was only effective for those below Rank 10, it was still extremely powerful. For Huang Xiaolong at his current level, the benefits were considerable.

"In addition, the winners of Grade Competitions and Academy General Competitions are rewarded with Medicinal Pills.

The first-place winner in the First Grade receives a Grade 4 High Rank Spirit Pill, the second-place winner in the Second Grade receives a Grade 5 Low Rank Spirit Pill, and the third-place winner in the Third Grade receives a Grade 5 Middle Rank Spirit Pill. As for the winner of the Academy General Competition, they receive a Grade 5 High Rank Spirit Pill!" Haotian continued.

Grade 4 High Rank Spirit Pill! Grade 5 Low Rank, Middle Rank, and High Rank! Huang Xiaolong's eyes widened. Starry Sky Academy was indeed generous, even offering a Grade 5 High Rank Spirit Pill as a reward.

Rare and precious Spirit Pills like Grade 5 High Rank were priceless in Luo Tong Kingdom. No amount of gold coins could buy them.

"Furthermore, if the winner of the Academy General Competition can represent Starry Sky Academy and participate in the Imperial City's Battle in the Broken Blade Empire!" Fei Hou added.

"Participate in the Imperial City's Battle in the Broken Blade Empire!" Huang Xiaolong was shocked.

"Yes, every year, all the top academy winners from various kingdoms under the Broken Blade Empire compete in the Imperial City's Battle!" Haotian explained. "If one can shine in the Imperial City's Battle and make it into the top 100, they can enter the Broken Blade Empire Academy for cultivation and become a disciple of the Broken Blade Academy.

It is the greatest honor for any family or kingdom!"

"Moreover, those who rank from 11th to 100th in the Imperial City's Battle will be rewarded with a Grade 6 Low Rank Spirit Pill!"

"Second to tenth place will receive a Grade 6 Middle Rank Spirit Pill!"

"And for the first-place winner, a Grade 6 High Rank Spirit Pill will be rewarded!"

As Haotian spoke, excitement filled his face.

That was a Grade 6 High Rank Medicinal Pill!

Even for an Innate Rank 2 powerhouse, a Grade 6 High Rank Spirit Pill was an extremely precious treasure!

Fei Hou's eyes were also filled with longing.

But Huang Xiaolong's throat felt dry, as if it was rumbling.

Mother, a Grade 6 High Rank Spirit Pill!

If a Rank 10 Late Stage Peak cultivator were to consume a Grade 6 High Rank Spirit Pill, they would have a great chance of breaking through to Innate!

Huang Xiaolong gradually calmed himself down.

He then proceeded to ask Haotian about the enrollment process and requirements for Starry Sky Academy.

"The registration for Starry Sky Academy will begin the day after tomorrow. Your age, Sect Master, is not an issue.

However, to be eligible for enrollment, you must be at least 12 years old and possess a Martial Spirit of Level 9 or above," Haotian replied.

"Above Level 9?" Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brow. If they were going to check Martial Spirits, wouldn't it expose his twin Super-level Martial Spirits?

"Actually, Sect Master, if you don't have a Martial Spirit of Level 9 or above, it's not a problem. I can arrange for you to enter Starry Sky Academy," Haotian reassured him.

He had not seen Huang Xiaolong's Martial Spirit and assumed it was below Level 9 since he noticed Huang Xiaolong's expression. As the Kingdom's Marshal, he had the authority to arrange for someone's admission to Starry Sky Academy.
