Haotian Academy, in the Tianyan Empire, one of the four major empires on the continent, is almost unknown to everyone, and as one of the four high-level puppet masters on the continent, it is also a symbol in this Tianyan City, and it is also the academy that the empire relies on the most, there is no one.

Every year, the Tianyan Empire will select a part of the elite disciples from Haotian Academy to enter the management of the empire, and among this part of the people, there are many people who will grow into the banner of the empire in the future, and even if Haotian Academy is called half of the Tianyan Empire, it is not an exaggeration.

However, one of the top universities in the continent, Haotian Academy's elimination rate is also extremely high, even the geniuses who can enter the academy at the beginning will be eliminated a considerable number of them every year, and even these eliminated candidates are still hot among the major nobles.

Because of this, Haotian Academy has also become the object of competition among the members of the royal family, but since a hundred years ago, Haotian Academy has clarified its position that it will never fall into the dispute of power, and only concentrate on cultivating outstanding talents in the ancient continent, so as to maintain neutrality for life.

But even so, no one dares to underestimate this force, although there is a Tianyan Imperial Family in the current Tianyan Empire, but if something happens to this Haotian Academy, the entire empire will be shocked.

Tianyan City, south of the city.

Gu Chen has been walking in this direction since he came out of the Lu family, and Tianyan City is so big, he also has a deep understanding from this time.

Walking from Xicheng to Nancheng, this seems to be a short distance, but it took him several hours, not counting that he almost never stopped along the way, and even the surrounding qiē, he didn't have time to appreciate it.

Standing outside the high wall, Gu Chen looked at the endless courtyard wall that could not be seen at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was more appropriate to call this place a city within a city than an academy.

The courtyard wall with a height of several meters stretches across the entire southern city, and the dark and vicissitudes of life on the wall reveal an incomparable mixture and heritage everywhere.

He stood quietly under the courtyard wall, but he felt that he was as small as an ant in front of this academy.

With a sigh, he walked slowly to a huge courtyard gate. This towering courtyard gate is made entirely of unknown spars, and the entire gate is unified, revealing a layer of brilliant lapis and gold.

And in the most eye-catching position on the top of the gate of this courtyard, there are two bright gold characters like dragon blood, "Haotian". The two big golden characters are the same as the courtyard gates, both of which have a layer of lapis radiance, but compared with the huge courtyard gates, this lapis glow is more condensed.

Seeing those two terrifying Juanxiu characters, Gu Chen seemed to feel that his heart seemed to be frozen at this moment, and he was shocked by the terrifying breath contained in the golden characters.

"What a terrifying momentum. He muttered dumbly, if he could compare the aura on the gold with the puppeteer, maybe even the high-level puppeteer of the spirit puppet master would have to avoid its edge.

"Stop, little one, this is not for you. ”

In front of the courtyard gate, just as Gu Chen was about to step forward and knock on the door, an old voice suddenly came from behind the door, and immediately, in his stunned gaze, an old man in a crumpled gray robe and an obvious scar at the corner of his eye slowly emerged from the courtyard door.

This old man wanted to blend in with the courtyard gate, and the moment he went out, there were ripples like water waves flashing on the courtyard door.

Gu Chen looked at this old man who suddenly appeared, and knew that this must be the gatekeeper of Haotian Academy, and then bowed deeply to the old man, and said respectfully: "Senior, I am Gu Chen from Dicang Academy, recommended by my family teacher, I came to Haotian Academy for further study, and I hope that my predecessors will be accommodating and let the kid enter the academy." ”

He bent down deeply, a look of deference on his face. Although he could feel that the aura on this old man's body was not very strong, in that blandness, there was an extremely mysterious hidden power, and it seemed that every time he breathed, his heart would involuntarily skip a beat.

Just an old man guarding the door had such a strange strength, and Gu Chen's evaluation of this academy couldn't help but rise a lot.

"Let's leave, this is not the place you should be, the academy has no enrollment now, and when that time comes, it's not too late to come here again. The old man said coldly as if he had not heard him at all, and did not even look at him.

When Gu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly said: "Senior, I was really recommended by Dicang Academy, and I also know that now is not the enrollment time of the academy, but there is a reason for it, and I hope that my seniors will be accommodating." ”

"Let's go, even if you break the sky today, this courtyard door will not be opened for you. The old man at the doorkeeper still had that extremely cold tone, and refused again.

And when he just finished saying this, he only glanced at Gu Chen faintly, and at this moment, there seemed to be a flash of surprise in those old eyes, but they quickly disappeared. Then, in Gu Chen's anxious eyes, the old man slowly turned around, and pointed at the door with his hand, and ripples like water ripples appeared on his fingers.

He lifted his left foot lightly and wanted to leave.

"Senior, wait, I'm really ...... I, I'm looking for an old-timer called an alcoholic, and I have a letter here to give him. ”

Seeing that the old man was about to disappear, Gu Chen couldn't help but yell at the courtyard gate that was gradually calming down.

Kiss!

The words fell, and the ripples on the courtyard gate also dissipated at the same time, leaving only the courtyard gate covered in blue gold, which still blocked him out like an iron tower.

He let out a long sigh, although he had thought that this would be the case before he came, but when he really faced it, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.

However, he also knew that this place was no better than the Lu family, if he did not ask for consent, he would definitely not be able to enter by force, and before he came, the second elder also specially instructed him to be honest before he entered the academy, as for entering the academy, even if he pierced the sky here, no one could control him.

He looked at the courtyard gate again, which was not moving, and sat down cross-legged against the courtyard door.

Although the old man guarding the door did not let himself in, he was not sure that he was really lucky to meet the drunkard senior. If you hand over the letter when the time comes, you may be able to enter the academy yourself.

"Little one, do you really have a letter to Lao Jiu?"

At this moment, not long after he sat down cross-legged, the familiar old voice slowly sounded again.

And this voice also made him suddenly shake up.
