Xiaoyao Academy.

Although it is in the name of the academy, in fact, it is a super force that shocks all directions, and in terms of status, it is probably similar to the Tianyu Gate that Xiao Zhan has come into contact with.

No one can say clearly how many years Xiaoyao Academy has existed in this world.

It is rumored that Xiaoyao Academy was founded by a certain realm lord himself.

Some people also say that Xiaoyao Academy was founded by an unknown top powerhouse.

In short, for a long time, these have been nowhere to verify.

But it is undeniable that today's Xiaoyao Academy is still one of the most powerful forces in the world.

In addition, Xiaoyao Academy is very open, no matter which sect, family, or casual cultivation you come from, you have the opportunity to enter Xiaoyao Academy to study.

Xiaoyao Academy not only has the best instructors, but also the most exercises.

The disciples who graduate from Xiaoyao Academy every year are all famous.

Teaching without class is the purpose of Xiaoyao Academy.

In addition, Xiaoyao Academy does not specifically recruit disciples.

At any time, as long as you want, you can go to Xiaoyao Academy to participate in the assessment, and as long as you pass, you can become a disciple of the academy.

And the content of the assessment is also very special.

It's not about talent and strength, it's not about background and identity.

It took Xiao Zhan a full year to come to Xiaoyao Academy.

In this year, Xiao Zhan has raised his strength to the ninth layer of the Tongqi Realm.

After opening the source aperture, you will automatically enter the opening aperture realm.

When you can flexibly use the energy stored in the source orifice, so that all the source orifice perfectly cooperate with the output energy, you can be regarded as reaching the realm of the aperture.

In just one year, Xiao Zhan was able to reach the realm of enlightenment, entirely because of his own experience accumulation.

Moreover, Xiao Zhan's current situation is very special.

The space in his body is still in a sealed state, and all his original strength has also been sealed.

In other words, Xiao Zhan now has two states.

Open the seal, and he will be a powerhouse at the level of the realm master.

If he doesn't open the seal, he is just a minor monk of the ninth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

Moreover, Xiao Zhan is already trying to use the energy of this world to operate and improve those exercises in the past.

Xiao Zhan can switch between the two states freely.

Xiaoyao Academy, located between the mountains and mountains, is quiet and peaceful.

The area of the academy is huge, with a range of more than 100 miles from east to west, and more than 50 miles from north to south, shrouded in a huge formation.

In the four directions of the formation, there are four entrances for entry and exit.

Three of the entrances are not open very often, except for the east entrance, which remains open all year round.

Xiao Zhan climbed the steps to the platform of a peak, only to see one figure after another.

Xiao Zhan looked back at the steps that were engulfed in clouds and mist, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Just these 99,999 stone stairs, and they can't use their source power, they can only climb up with physical fitness and willpower, which is enough to make ninety percent of people daunted, and those who can climb up smoothly are even more intimidating.

At least on the way up to Xiao Zhan, almost all of the thousands of people he saw gave up.

At this time, there were probably less than 500 people on the summit platform.

These five hundred people, sitting cross-legged everywhere at this time, did not waste time, but were cultivating and adjusting their state.

On the edge of the side of the peak, there stood a stone pillar, more than a hundred meters high and more than ten meters in diameter, carved with runes.

And, on the stone pillar, a pitch-black chain was fastened, spreading all the way to the clouds and mist ahead, and there was no end in sight.

Xiao Zhan was not in a hurry, and near the edge, he found an open space and sat down cross-legged, and then activated part of the source aperture in his body and began to absorb the source power that filled the air.

About half an hour later, a man reached the summit.

His face was calm, and his eyes were shining

With a faint smile, after looking around, his eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Zhan.

He walked next to Xiao Zhan, then sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate as well.

Feeling the energy fluctuations in his body, Xiao Zhan slowly opened his eyes.

The man also stopped cultivating, looked at Xiao Zhan and said with a smile:

"Hello, fellow Daoist."

Xiao Zhan looked at the man for a few seconds before he nodded:

"Hello."

The man smiled and nodded:

"My name is Dikang, what about you?"

Xiao Zhan slowly spoke:

"Xiao Zhan."

"Xiao Daoyou, well, good name," Di Kang nodded, looked up at the chain that stretched into the mist, and muttered:

"Why hasn't the person in charge come yet?"

As soon as Di Kang's words fell, he saw a white-haired old man emerge from the clouds, looking a little anxious.

He smiled and spoke:

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

The people present clasped their fists and saluted.

This is the tutor of Xiaoyao Academy, at least a master of the open source realm.

"Everyone, my surname is Hao, just call me Mentor Hao."

"Wow, Master Hao is so good."

"Yes, Master Hao is so gentle."

Xiao Zhan smiled and didn't speak.

Mentor Hao smiled and looked around at this time, "Everyone come with me."

With that, he jumped and landed on the chain.

Everyone also jumped on the chains and continued to walk forward with this Mentor Hao.

Xiao Zhan and Di Kang are at the back.

Looking at the sea of clouds surging below him, Xiao Zhan felt that the name of this Xiaoyao Academy was really appropriate.

Cultivating here, there is indeed a feeling of leisure.

Di Kang smiled at this time and said:

"Xiao Daoyou, do you think how many of these hundreds of people can successfully enter Xiaoyao Academy to study?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at the people in front of him, shook his head slowly, and said:

"I don't know."

Dikang smiled:

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"I said, fifty of these people will be able to enter the academy without any problems."

Xiao Zhan thought about it, nodded and said:

"I think it's going to be fifty, too."

Dikang's laughs:

"Interesting."

"Then I say, among these fifty people, there must be one of them, what do you think, Xiao Daoyou?"

Xiao Zhan nodded:

"I'm sure I'm the one too."

Dikang nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The crowd walked for about half an hour, and then came to another peak shrouded in mist.

Around the summit, there are four stairs leading to the bottom of the mountain.

Di Kang led the people down one of the stairs, and after a short time, they came to the front of a large hall on the mountainside.

In front of the main hall, there is a square with a length and width of more than 100 meters, and the ground is paved with flat bluestone, which looks simple and heavy.

Tutor Hao stood in front of the door of the main hall and laughed loudly:

"Next, we will evaluate everyone according to the management of our Xiaoyao Academy."

"I hope everyone can do well and then enter our college for 10 years of study."

"Without further ado, let's enter the main hall."

The crowd's faces were full of doubt.

Because Tutor Hao only said that everyone should enter the hall, but did not say what the specific assessment content was.

Someone asked:

"Tutor Hao, what is the content of the assessment?"

Tutor Hao smiled and shook his head:

"You'll know this once you go in

。」

Hearing this, everyone didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the main hall one after another.

Xiao Zhan and Di Kang are still at the rear.

The two of them stood at the door and saw that the hall was empty, and even the figures of those who had just entered were gone, so they knew that there was a formation in the hall.

Di Kang looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile:

"Xiao Daoyou, why don't we compare and see who passes first?"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, stepped into the main hall, and the figure disappeared immediately.

Di Kang also stepped into the main hall with a smile.

Tutor Hao stood at the door of the main hall and waited quietly.

At the same time, after Xiao Zhan entered the formation, he immediately came to a completely different space.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea ahead.

Countless warships covered the sea.

In the sea, there are stumps and severed arms everywhere.

The sea water has been completely stained red with blood.

On the sea, in the air, everywhere there are people who are fighting.

At the same time, an unfamiliar memory suddenly poured into Xiao Zhan's mind.

There is no good or evil between the two sides of the war, but because of hundreds of thousands of years of grievances, the two kingdoms have never stopped fighting.

The two sides of the battle, one is called Wu Guo and the other is called Wei Guo.

And Xiao Zhan's identity at this time is the crown prince of Wuguo.

This is all the information that Xiao Zhan got at this moment.

He was not asked to do anything, but was given a background and identity.

At the same time, the others who entered the main hall also appeared in the same scene.

Most people are stunned.

Became a prince yourself?

Could it be that the task of the assessment is to lead the warriors of the martial country to win this war?

Probably everyone's first thought was this, and most of them, began to fight.

Only a few remained unmoved.

Xiao Zhan stood in the air about 100 meters away from the sea at this time, his gaze sweeping over the entire battlefield.

He knew that this was an open test at all.

Everyone in such a scenario will have different choices and will achieve different results.

And some of these results are acceptable to Xiaoyao Academy and happy to see.

Some, they don't.

Moreover, this scene is extremely real, the screams, explosions, and the sounds of fighting make it impossible not to believe that this is a real war.

And the memories that poured into their minds just now are extremely demagogic, and many people have forgotten their original identity and firmly believe that they are the prince of Wuguo.

There are not many people who can stay awake.

Xiao Zhan shook his head.

He has been through countless wars.

But what he hates most is war.

Those who started the war may be wrong, but the warriors on both sides of the war who fought to the death were right.

None of the people fighting in front of him were Xiao Zhan's enemies.

He looked at a black-armored guard standing dozens of meters away, glanced at the horn in his hand, and said softly:

"Order, retreat."

The black-armored guard was stunned, but he still didn't question Xiao Zhan's decision, and immediately raised the horn and blew it rhythmically.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the martial arts who were still fighting bloodily were obviously stunned, and the next moment they quickly left the battlefield towards the rear.

And those warriors of Weiguo did not retreat, but pursued and killed again.

Xiao Zhan stepped out in one step, and his voice resounded throughout the battlefield:

"Why fight!"

This question, with a very strong momentum, instantly made countless enemy fighters stop.

They all frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan, not understanding what kind of conspiracy Xiao Zhan was playing.
