Dragon Phoenix Academy.

The new disciples had all settled down. Clear cliques had also formed among the regular disciples, core disciples, and personal disciples. A new ranking of strength for them had also been released. Apart from the eight freaks that had been completely hidden by the academy, a few other new disciples had also displayed their talent and shocked the entire academy.

These people were all personal disciples of the academy elders, becoming a target of admiration for many disciples. Apart from that, some of the academy elders' children, who were also personal disciples and were considered part of the academy's local factions, had started recruiting from the new disciples and became part of the strongest factions in the academy.

The same would happen during each recruitment. Some would become leaders and some would become followers. Numerous small factions would sprout, and they would then start fighting over the cultivation resources supplied by the academy.

Xiang Shaoyun, who had shocked the academy with a single brilliant feat, also had a hope of becoming one of the strongest faction leaders. Unfortunately, he had completely vanished after the academy had brought him away.

Some claimed that he had been hidden, becoming a personal disciple of a previous generation elder. Some claimed that he had become the princ.i.p.al's personal disciple. Some even claimed that he had been placed on house arrest due to his disobedience.

Initially, many people were inclined to believe the first two rumors, but eventually, someone confirmed that Xiang Shaoyun had indeed been locked somewhere. Moreover, it seemed like he was in serious trouble, as there was a possibility that he wouldn't appear anymore.

After news of that spread, some were worried while some were happy. People like Di Lin, Di Tong, and Di Shang were celebrating, while people like Tang Longfei and company were anxious.

Fortunately, the academy had still settled down the Han Clan sisters, whom Xiang Shaoyun had brought. They were both cla.s.sified as Xiang Shaoyun's followers and were accorded the treatment of regular disciples.

However, they were somewhat lacking in strength and were having a hard time keeping up with the other disciples. But due to their exceptional looks, they weren't really prejudiced against. Some people were also starting to set their eyes on the two.

These people knew the sisters had joined with Xiang Shaoyun, but when they learned of Xiang Shaoyun's imprisonment, their courage grew. Naturally, they were beaten off by Tang Longfei and Lady Shura.

However, they were no pushovers either. They declared that a day would come when Tang Longfei and company were taught a lesson. The Han Clan sisters were greatly saddened, and they vowed to grow their strength as best as they could. Thus, they became two of the most hardworking followers in the academy, eventually advancing from the sixth-stage to the seventh-stage.

Of course, that was not enough. They would continue working hard. After all, this was a place filled with geniuses, and they were among those with the weakest talents in the academy.

...

Xiang Shaoyun was naturally unaware of all that was happening outside. He was still cultivating steadily. For him, since even the evil spirits that were the biggest danger in the Back Graveyard were no longer a threat to him, he no longer feared anything there.
