C236 Set up an Academy

Qingtian stayed at home and rested for a few days, spending a sweet honeymoon with his three wives. Then he got back into the tense situation. The academy that he had calculated for a long time was about to open!

When he just returned, Qingtian had already chosen a place. It was on the outskirts of the capital, on Mount Lantis. The environment there was not bad. There were mountains and water, and it was also a place where Qingtian had conducted inhumane training when he was young. In addition, his family members rarely went there. As long as he built a few small buildings and an arena in the mountains, it should be enough. It had been more than ten days since he returned home, and the project was almost going on at the same time. Yat V specially found the best architects in the empire for the construction of Sky Bearing City, and the progress was very fast.

A few days later, a piece of news came from the capital: Marquess of Yat Empire, the number one Devil Swordsman in the continent, Ashlow Fernandez, was going to open an academy. The content of the news was: ___ of ___, the number one ___ in the continent, ___ - ___, is going to open an academy. The following: - Today, Ashlow Fernandez will open an academy to teach martial arts and magic. He needs to graduate from the Royal Magic Academy, return from military service, and other nobles. He wanted to join the civilians who had not passed the Royal Magic Academy. At the end of the announcement, there was also an encouraging sentence: "Do you want to be the hero of the empire of the continent? Do you want to be the same person as Ashlow? Hope is right in front of you. Don't miss it. As long as you pass the selection, there's a chance to get his personal guidance. Even if you can't pass, don't be discouraged. As a civilian, Lord Ashlow will provide you with travel expenses. Next year... You still have a chance to come back!

Such a slogan immediately caused a sensation on the continent. Moreover, the Sky High School also recruited foreign nobles. Although the number was limited. This was also understood by Yat V, even though the Sky High School was present. But many years later, what if he wasn't here anymore? Would the other empires make a comeback? Those peace agreements were just a piece of scrap paper, only the strength of a country could be exchanged for peace.

The academy's buildings were very unique. In his previous life, Atlas, who studied design and design, was very fond of ancient China's buildings. When the architect saw his design plans, he was amazed. Not only did Lord Ashlow have a peerless genius in martial arts, but even his architectural design was so magical.

Due to the warmth of winter and summer in the Lance Mountains, almost all of Qingtian's houses were made of wood. This also made the progress of the project much faster. However, those "strange" patterns made things difficult for everyone for a while. But after all, he was Art's best architect, and it didn't take long for him to imitate almost everything. After more than a month of waiting, the Sky High School was basically completed.

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the academy's test. As the president of the Magic Union, Prios, could be considered half of Sky High's master, he was very polite in lending him a few Magisters to help teach. On the day of the test, as the dean, Atlas wore his Han Lan Battle Armor. Carrying the Taiyi Divine Sword diagonally on his back, he stood gracefully on the high platform. Looking at the dense crowd of students below, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

A few years ago when he had just gone to the Royal Magic Academy to register, he had been like them, standing below with great ambition. Although at that time his strength was already outstanding, even he himself didn't think that he would stand above everyone with this kind of status. This world really changed so quickly. When he first came to this world, he never would have thought that he would have such achievements. Moreover, the difficulties that he would face next would be beyond everyone's imagination.

There were almost two thousand people who signed up this time. All the students were here for Ashlow's name. Moreover, they also wanted to see just what kind of difference there was between this place and the old Royal Magic Academy. Of course, only the nobles occupied more than half of the enrollment. All the nobles in the entire Yat Empire who met the requirements participated in the enrollment. Including the quotas for the other three empires, there were already over a thousand people. The remaining people were the civilians who had not been selected to the Royal Magic Academy or had already graduated.

However, the tuition fees for the aristocrats here were quite expensive. It was far more expensive than the Royal Magic Academy. Atlas had once intentionally or unintentionally revealed in the banquet that some commoners would enter by relying on their own talent and strength. However, since the nobles had paid the expensive tuition fees, the things they had learned would naturally be different. Hearing his words, all the nobles were very willing to pay out of their own pockets. Send their own children over. It was for the sake of having the chance to become someone like Ashlow in the future.

These nobles had already graduated from the academy, or had served in the military. Thus, their abilities were naturally higher than ordinary people. Moreover, many of them had martial arts or magic that were passed down in their family. However, although the foundations of the children of the commoners were not good enough, their diligence was not something that these aristocrats could compare with. This also perfectly met the requirements of Atlas.

When the time was up, Atlas was the first to stand out. He looked at the faces full of hope below and said, "Hello everyone, I am Ashlow Fernandez. Perhaps some of the people here already know me, but most of them have only heard of my reputation. I was once a student of the Royal Magic Academy. A large portion of you people are older than me. I can tell you in a very person-in-charge that coming here... It's not for your reputation to be tarnished. On the contrary, the difficulty here is far higher than the academy's." As he spoke, Qingtian tore off his clothes, revealing the crisscrossing scars on his body.

Under the disbelieving gazes of the people below, he continued, "This is the result of my training when I was young. A few years ago, I was in this mountain range. Accept this hard training that you would never have thought of, and lay the foundation for my entire life. That's why I have my current achievements. If you shrink back now, you can just leave immediately. I'll say thirty times, and I'll give you time to leave." After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited quietly above.

After a while, not a single one of the nearly two thousand people left.

"Good, your confidence makes me very satisfied. Remember, as long as you have confidence, you also have to pay the same price. Many years from now, there will be one of you standing here. Remember, you will have to suffer under me. You better not try to use your parents' face to move me and relax, that way I won't be merciful. Get the hell out of here!" Atlas's words were very firm. Although these nobles already had a certain level of strength, however, because they graduated from an academy, some of them had served in the military. It was inevitable that they would have some pride. He would first give them a warning to avoid causing trouble for himself in the future.

"Now, according to what you are good at and the serial number in your hands, I will personally host this test. In other words, everyone here has a chance to fight me! "Tian Qingtian's words caused the people below to discuss animatedly.

"What? Do we really have a chance to fight Marquess one-on-one? " "Of course. When did Marquess lie?" "But we can't beat him. What if something happens?" Everyone had different reactions. Some were eager to try, while others lacked confidence.

Looking at the restless crowd below, Atlas smiled again and said, "Everyone, be quiet. I mean to fight me. Of course, I will definitely not injure any of you seriously. After all, you will very likely become my students in the future. However, since it is a spar, injuries are unavoidable. But think about it, when you return with a body full of pain... Tell your family that this was left behind during the battle with Ashlow. There aren't many opportunities like this! " Atlas, who came from the modern era, was very good at grasping people's hearts. Just a few words from him made everyone want to give it a try.

Those who had served in the army felt their blood boil after hearing this. They burned Xigang Mountain. During the night raid in Gruul, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three empires were talking and laughing. They raised their hands to slaughter hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Such a general had never appeared on the continent, but now they had the chance to confront him face to face. How could they not be excited? Everyone maintained the habit of the army and stood straight. They made an Art military salute to Atlas.

"Considering that you have too many people, you might not be able to finish it in a day's time. So, according to the arranged order, the teams at the back can go back today. However, those who want to watch the battle can stand by the side. Now, our test officially begins! " After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the arena behind him.

How could the people behind give up such an opportunity to watch the battle? Not a single one of them left. Everyone followed Qingtian and walked towards the arena!
