"Hua!"

Sounds of noise came out one after another. This was a very vast area. Countless tall buildings appeared before them. The scene before them was too majestic. Even the God Treading Stone that was 10,000 feet away from Xia Hun Wu still looked small compared to it.

Not far in front of him, the sound of wind breaking continuously rang out in the air. In some training grounds, figures intersected. Immense amounts of soul power collided, causing muffled sounds of metal colliding to ring out.

Yet, the entire Eastern Heavens Holy Man was actually on top of a mountain range. His figure was like a gigantic dragon that was waiting to soar, and his might was extremely magnificent.

"Is this the Eastern Heavens Holy Academy?"

On the Soul Martial Continent, it was the dream of countless clan members to enter the Five Great Academies. However, he had never imagined that he would be able to enter one of the Five Great Academies.

Let's go, follow me to the academy's interior. Outside this mountain range, it can't be considered as the true Eastern Heavens Holy Academy. Xuan Lao slowly said as he appeared in front of Xia Hun Wu and the rest.

After which, he waved his hand and a golden light rushed out from his sleeves. After which, it was thrown into the space in front of him.

"Buzz!"

An enormous light barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, enveloping the entirety of the Eastern Heavens Sacred Academy within the mountain range. As the golden light rushed out, ripples quickly emerged on the light barrier, and the faint undulations emitted by it caused Xia Hun Wu's scalp to turn numb. He was truly unable to imagine just how powerful a person capable of constructing such a defence was.

The power of these Spiritual Arrays is extremely terrifying. If activated, even if it's an expert of the habitat realm, they would be blown to the ground in an instant. Even the soul power generated from breaking through to the Soul Creation stage would not be able to save them. Old Mu's expression was extremely grave as he stared at the light barrier in front of him. Even though it was within Xia Hun Wu's body, he could still feel the terrifying power within the light barrier.

Xia Hun Wu nodded his head. Only the Five Great Academies and Soul Region would have such boldness for a large-scale defensive formation like this.

Ripples continuously surfaced on the light barrier. After waiting for a few minutes, ripples surged out and a small hole was ripped open in front of Xia Hun Wu and the rest. With a flick of his finger, Xia Hun Wu and the rest who were on the Deity Stepping Stone were once again enveloped by a light as they entered the Eastern Heavens Holy Courtyard.

"Buzz!"

The instant they entered the Eastern Heavens Holy Academy, a surge of extremely dense soulforce from the heavens and earth came straight at them. They were immediately shaken by this surge of soulforce and some of those with weaker cultivations were even flipped onto the ground by it.

"The soul power in this place is actually so thick?"

Feeling the extremely viscous Heaven and Earth soul power around him, Xia Hun Wu's face was filled with shock. Under this light barrier, the amount of Heaven and Earth soul power one possessed in this world was probably five times more than in the outside world, perhaps even more. Evidently, this was something that an almighty elder of the Eastern Heavens Sacred Academy must have used to continuously absorb the soul power from the mountain range into the light barrier for the students to cultivate.

Such a gesture was truly terrifying!

"Swoosh!"

While Xia Hun Wu and the rest were lamenting about the Heaven and Earth soul power, dozens of light figures flashed by. The direction in which they were flying towards was in the middle of the Eastern Sky City student.

The huge dragon's hind paw tightly gripped onto the top of the stone pillar while its front paw firmly gripped onto a hundred feet long enormous stone tablet. The giant dragon's hind paw tightly gripped the top of the stone pillar, while its front paw firmly gripped onto a hundred feet long stone tablet.

Xia Hun Wu looked towards the stone tablet and saw three simple golden words on the top of it, which were slowly wiggling.

"Hidden Dragon Rank …" Xia Hwu mumbled to himself. What was this Hidden Dragon Rank?

"This is the Hidden Dragon Ranking of the Five Great Academies." A clear and melodious voice rang out from beside him. Xia Hun Wu turned his head and saw that Ye Qing had slowly walked to his side. There was a prideful look in her eyes.

"What is this Hidden Dragon Rank?" Xia Hun Wu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Each of the five academies have one of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. It is specially created for the potential students of the five academies. It is similar to the division of strength. However, there are only one hundred names on the Hidden Dragon Ranking." Ye Qing slowly said.

"The five Holy Academies' common rankings, and they're still only ranked in the one hundred?" Xia Hun Wu raised his eyebrows. How many people were there in the Five Great Academies? He had to calculate the number of people in tens of thousands, right? And even so, the Hidden Dragon Rank was only in the top 100.

"What's the benefit of getting on the Hidden Dragon Rank?" Since the Hidden Dragon Rank from the Five Great Academies was only in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon Rank, there was naturally some other meaning to it.

"The Hidden Dragon Rankings will be refreshed once a day, and I'll be able to obtain different amounts of soul power points depending on the ranking. I don't think I need to talk about the role of soul power points in the Five Great Academies." Ye Qing said.

So that's how it is. This left a lot of trouble in earning soul power points.

"Then, how many soul power points would the person in the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon Ranking get per day?" Xia Hun Wu continued to ask.

"I don't know the exact number, but I am ranked eighty-ninth in the Hidden Dragon Rank. I can probably get about one thousand soul power points a day." Speaking of this, there was pride on Ye Qing's ice-cold face. It seemed that for her, entering the Hidden Dragon Rank was something to be proud of.

Since you are able to defeat me, then you naturally have the qualifications to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank. The majority of the Hidden Dragon Rank are Spirit Stage powerhouses, and the Hidden Dragon Rank is the highest level of the Five Great Academies. Countless geniuses painstakingly train in order to be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank. Every time the top ten ranks for the Hidden Dragon Rank are changed, it will not be the greatest event for the Five Great Academies.

His pitch-black eyes followed her direction and once again focused on the gigantic stone tablet. He could see that on the stone tablet, there were hundreds of golden lights flashing, and the golden light carved on the tablet represented the supreme glory, receiving the respect and respect of millions of people from the Five Great Academies.

Zhou Yao and the rest, who were standing beside Xia Hengwu, also slowly focused their attention on the Hidden Dragon Rank that represented the Five Great Academies.

"First rank of the Hidden Dragon Rank, Zhou Tong. Feng Tian Holy Courtyard."

"Rank 90 of the Hidden Dragon Rank, Li Ziqing. Profound Heaven Holy Academy."

"..."

"Rank 9 of the Hidden Dragon Rank, Zhou Qing, Green Sky Holy Courtyard!"

"Rank 8 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Su Cai`er, White Spirit Courtyard!"

"..."

"Rank 3 of the Hidden Dragon Rank, Feng Tian'er. Feng Tian Sheng Courtyard."

"Rank 2 of the Hidden Dragon Rank, Bing Xuan, Profound Heaven Holy Palace!"

However, when the golden words slowly entered the eyes of Zhou Yao and the others, they did not notice that Xia Hun Wu's brows were slightly furrowed.

"Who is the champion of the Hidden Dragon Rank?"

Immediately, the crowd's gaze shifted upwards once again as they stared at the name at the very top. At that location, a golden light surged while it carried a strong sense of oppression. An invisible and terrifying pressure swept over from mid-air.

"Rank 1 on the Hidden Dragon Rank, Liu Changan. Eastern Heavens Holy Academy."
