The Soul Martial Continent had twelve super empires standing tall. Under each super empire, there were countless cities, but within each city, there would be a Soul Suppressing General, and the fastest way to become a Soul Suppressing General was through the Five Great Academies. As long as one graduated from the Five Great Academies, they would have the qualifications to participate in the Twelve Soul Suppressing Orb.

In the eyes of all the factions within the city, the Five Great Academies were a colossus that could not be resisted at all. They were the foundation of the twelve super empires, and they were even unable to know just how terrifying the power and foundation of the Five Great Academies was. All they knew was that the Soul Suppressing Generals, who symbolized their strength in all the cities, walked out of the Five Great Academies.

Because of this, almost everyone tried to send their children into this huge monster. They all knew that as long as they successfully entered the Five Great Academies, their accomplishments and strength would definitely surpass those of ordinary people.

Although the Great Yan Empire was one of the twelve super empires, it was located in a relatively remote area and its resources were far inferior to other super empires. If they wanted to surpass other super empires, sending their outstanding disciples to the five great academies was undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, every time the Great Yan Empire opened the Five Great Academies, the various large cities would be extremely lively. In fact, even the legitimate royal family would personally come to some places, because among these students, there would definitely be a son of heaven.

The current Cloud Sea City was undoubtedly the busiest day in the entire year. Within the enormous city, there was a vast sea of people. All sorts of noisy noises continuously spread out from the city and could be heard within a circumference of a hundred miles.

The annual feast of the year had set up a venue for it. It was located in the Cloud Sea Academy, which was located in the center of the Cloud Sea City. Because the arena of the Cloud Sea Academy was the most spacious, and the audience seating was enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Although there was still half a day before the selection, the vast arena had already been occupied by a sea of people. As far as the eye could see, the black mass of people extended all the way to the outside of the city walls, and even the tall buildings were filled with people.

Within the Cloud Sea Academy, all the students who had not yet reached eighteen years of age, as well as the disciples of the other clans, were gathered here. Their small faces were red because of nervousness or excitement. Some of them had come to participate in the competition in order to observe it in advance, and they could also estimate just how strong the people who were participating this year were.

Right now, these special seats were all filled with figures. The auras of these figures were extremely extraordinary and their soul power was dense, and amongst this group of people, there was a figure that Xia Hun Wu was extremely familiar with. It was the Grand Elder of the Xia clan, Xia He.

"Haha, Brother Tianhe, I heard that Xia Ze has awakened his Destiny Soul Beast. Will he also come to participate this time?"

From among the seats, a deep and loud laughter rang out. Turning around, one would see an extremely burly middle-aged man looking at the Summer River with a face full of smiles.

This burly middle-aged man was a member of the Li Clan, and was known as Li Xuan.

Hearing this, Xia He also cupped his hands together and said with a face full of smiles: "Brother Li is too courteous. Xia Ze, I don't even know how much you've done for yourself.

The relationship between the Xia clan and the Li clan had always been good. The first few Soul Suppressing Generals in the Cloud Sea City were all chosen from the Xia clan or the Li clan.

"Brother Tianhe, what are you talking about? This child has volunteered to participate in the competition to prove himself. What's the headache? If my Ming'er has half the effort of Xia Ze, I won't have to worry!"

"Hehe, Brother Li, that's a joke. Everyone knows that the talent of the young lord of Yunhai City is in the top ten." Summer River slowly said, obviously enjoying the flattery from the former. He stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Just as Li Xuan was about to speak, a voice that was not gentle suddenly rang out from not too far away: "A person who has even crippled his clan and relatives dares to boast shamelessly. If his character is lacking, then it would be useless no matter how strong he is."

"Zhou Huai, the incident with Xia Hun Wu was originally an accident, not to mention he voluntarily left the Xia family.!" Xia He slowly said as he turned his head and glanced at the angry green clothed old man.

"You are really thick-skinned. Do you think you are worthy of calling Xia Hun Wu by his name?" You should know better than anyone whether or not he voluntarily left the Xia Clan, right? " Zhou Huai glanced at the river in summer.

"You!"

"Alright, Summer River, stop being a whore and having your memorial archway erected again. Before Old Man Yuan died, he passed the position of clan leader to Xia Hun Wu, and to exempt the clan leader, we need the three great elders to discuss together. Other than you, the other two great elders are also in closed door cultivation, I want to see how you explain it to them after they come out of closed door cultivation." Zhou Huai said as if he had gotten the best of the summer river.

"You, an outsider, have no right to interfere in the matters of our Xia clan!" It was true that the Clan Chief needed the three Great Elders, and Zhou Huai had already grasped this point. However, as long as Xia Ze could enter the Five Great Academies today, it would be useless even if the other two Great Elders came out of seclusion. Moreover, among the two Elders, there was one who was Xia Ze's biological grandfather.

Li Xuan saw that the Summer River and Zhou Huai were opposing each other, and he did not want to get involved. What the Summer River did indeed made people speechless, but he could understand from his position in the Summer River, after all, no one wanted a family to be in the hands of a good-for-nothing.

Xia He retracted his gaze from Zhou Huai, and went to fight for right and wrong, obviously it was of no use, all he needed to do was wait for Xia Ze to enter the Five Great Academies, then all these rumors would die down, if he had to blame Xia Hun Wu for being too useless, he had not even awakened his soul veins.

"BOOM!"

The noise continued for a long time before an extremely deep bell sound slowly sounded. After which, it spread out of the Cloud Sea Academy and reverberated throughout the entire Cloud Sea City.

The instant the bell sounded, everyone's eyes immediately looked in the direction of the center of the Cloud Sea Academy. At that spot, three figures slowly appeared, the one in front was naturally the current principal of the Cloud Sea Academy, Xiao Qing He. The other two figures were not people from Yun Hai City.
