The newcomers had come so quickly the people in the area did not even notice them arriving. There were four of them, three men and one woman. Two old men, one middle-aged man, and one adult woman.
One of the old men had snow-white hair and a rosy complexion, his temperament ethereal, his poise divine, his features like a sage's. The other old man was dressed in a robe with nine palaces embroidered on it. His eyes would occasionally lit up with vitality, completely unlike the eyes a man his age would usually have.
The middle-aged man had a robust build, and his veins were visible on his explosive, muscular arms. He also had a pair of bright,imposing eyes. As for the woman, she was about 30 years old and was dignified and dainty. She had an hourgla.s.s figure, and there seemed to be a halo around her at all times, further highlighting her beauty.
”You are?” Xiang Shaoyun asked. The four were staring at him with glistening eyes, causing his hairs to stand on end.
He did not think that these were Yang Shuo's people as well. After all, it was quite clear they were no ordinary individuals. At this time, Du Xuanhao and Han Pojun arrived beside Xiang Shaoyun. None of them dared to take any rash actions, as they couldn't even begin to see the cultivation levels of the four before them. That could only mean that these four were much stronger than them.
”Kid, are you willing to join the True Martial Academy?” asked the white-haired old man.
”Kid, are you willing to join the Nine Palace Academy?” asked the old man in the robe embroidered with nine palaces.
”Kid, are you willing to join the Dragon Phoenix Academy?” asked the robust middle-aged man.
”Kid, are you willing to join the Sacred Deer Academy?” asked the beautiful woman.
The four questions seemed similar, yet they were also very different at the same time. When the people in the surroundings heard them, their faces were covered with respect, and when they looked at the young man standing before the four, their hearts were filled with envy.
Xiang Shaoyun was completely stunned. He had not expected that a single battle would attract the attention of all four ancient academies.
”Young Master Xiang is indeed a giant among men,” whispered Han Pojun to Du Xuanhao, his eyes filled with envy.
Du Xuanhao replied joyfully, ”Of course. I wouldn't have remained so loyal to him otherwise.”
Xiang Shaoyun quickly recovered his calm. While scratching his head, he smiled and said, ”Thank you for showing me this favor, lords. But I have already gotten an entrance test quota for the Dragon Phoenix Academy using contribution points.”
The robust middle-aged man was overjoyed. ”Excellent choice, young man! Our Dragon Phoenix Academy is—”
Just as he was about to start praising his academy, the white-haired old man interrupted him, ”Young man, you have only gotten a qualification to take the test. Come to the True Martial Academy. You don't even need to take the test. I will take you in as a special-recruit disciple. Come with me!”
He then reached for Xiang Shaoyun's hand, attempting to drag him away. But before the old man could grab Xiang Shaoyun's hand, a different hand swept in and stopped him.
”This young man is more suited for my Nine Palace Academy. I am taking him in as a special-recruit disciple as well!” said the old man in a robe. Evidently, he was not going to back out of this.
”Why are you two old men bickering in front of a young man?” said the beautiful woman. She then flashed Xiang Shaoyun an enchanting smile. ”Young man, I am also offering to take you in as a special-recruit disciple of the Sacred Deer Academy. You might not know this, but the Sacred Deer Academy is filled with beauties. All of them are as talented as you with powerful backgrounds to boot. With your great looks and talent, you will definitely be able to earn the favors of those beauties! Think of how beautiful your life would be!”
