The meeting hall of the Dragon Phoenix Academy was located at the central location of the academy. It was a place with an excellent environment, surrounded by ancient trees on all sides. The s.p.a.ce in between the hall and the trees were decorated with rock gardens, bonsai trees, and flowing streams populated by numerous carps. As a whole, the location was tranquil and peaceful.
The hall was grand and imposing, with the ancient architectural design of its curved roof and grated windows. The walls were decorated with the paintings of dragons and phoenixes, exuding a majestic and ancient ambiance. There were no guards present, yet this place was akin to a forbidden zone where people with no business here would not approach. Dragged by Xiao Wei, Xiang Shaoyun moved as fast as lightning and arrived in a short period of time.
”We're here. Tidy yourself up and enter with me,” said Xiao Wei.
The current Xiang Shaoyun looked incomparably sorry. His clothes were in rags, revealing the broken armor he wore inside, which looked even worse. His image as a pretty boy was greatly discounted in such get-up. If this was any other time, he would most definitely get changed before doing anything else. But this time, he was unwilling to do so.
”I need to ask for compensation from the academy. How can I remove the proof? Let's enter like this. I believe the elders will be fair,” said Xiang Shaoyun, still stubbornly insisting to be repaid for the damage his soul and body had suffered.
Xiao Wei shook his head helplessly. ”This is an important location of the academy. You best watch your mouth when you talk. Don't create trouble for yourself.”
He then brought Xiang Shaoyun into the main hall.
The inside of the hall was akin to an entirely independent s.p.a.ce. It was incomparably expansive, with a unique aura drifting about in the air as if actual dragons and phoenixes were flying around the hall. On the beam at the very top of the hall were the statues of a dragon and a phoenix. The two looked exceedingly lifelike and exuded a ma.s.sive pressure on everyone in the hall.
Numerous jade chairs were lined within the hall. These chairs were actually made of top-quality star congregation jades. Even Xiang Shaoyun was astonished by this display of wealth. One ought to know that top-quality star congregation jades were emperor-grade items. Just a tiny piece was enough to increase one's energy gathering speed by about 10 times.
There were 99 such chairs in the hall. One ought to acknowledge how luxurious this was. This was especially true for the jade tree at the very middle of the room. It was more of a couch than a chair, and it looked incomparably majestic and luxurious.
The 12 pillars in the hall decorated by carvings of dragons and phoenixes also looked extraordinary. Xiang Shaoyun was confident these pillars were made of materials of a sovereign, or even higher, grade. Even if he attacked with all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to damage any of the pillars. There were also various other ornaments in the hall, and not a single one of them was ordinary.
Oh heavens, they are really rich! Xiang Shaoyun thought as his eyes lit up. He had the urge to take everything in the hall for himself.
Xiao Wei had a helpless look on his face as he said, ”What are you looking at? Quickly greet the princ.i.p.al and the elders!”
Only then did Xiang Shaoyun reluctantly move his gaze away from the expensive decorations and focused on the old man seated on a chair and the elders surrounding him. With a salute, Xiang Shaoyun said, ”Xiang Shaoyun greets the princ.i.p.al and the elders.”
”H-he resembles that kid greatly!” someone said immediately.
That remark seemed completely random, yet someone else replied, ”To be precise, he looks completely the same. If it wasn't not for his age of only 19 years old, I would have suspected that the other fellow is still alive.”
”Stop guessing. He is probably not that fellow. Although that fellow also has a primary-grade nine-star innate elemental physique, this kid has an even scarier physique. This kid is probably his descendant,” said a different person.
