Chapter 1994: Geniuses In Droves (1/2)

The quiet academy became lively again due to the new semester with students coming back. Some imperial successors were coming as well. Their arrivals caused quite a stir. After all, they were quite generous and gave many good stuff to their cla.s.smates.

This was another reason for being here - making friends and establis.h.i.+ng connections for their future.

“Buzz.” A pathway abruptly emerged in the sky with a youth walking on top.

He had an archaic yet free style - relaxed yet imposing; something akin to an immovable peak lying in nature.

“Gu Guo is back!” Someone shouted emotionally.

“South Emperor huh? Truly bada.s.s, I heard he had an adventure at an ominous ground.” A powerful student was convinced.

“I think he’s about to graduate. A teacher says that he only need one year to do so. I don’t think anyone else in the world can match his talents.” A female student was infatuated.

South Emperor Gu Guo, perhaps the most famous character at the academy right now, even exceeding an alumni named Ren Sheng!

Few knew of his background. Some believed he was from the Mysterious Bamboo Mountain, a sect with six emperors, while others said otherwise.

All in all, back in the last semester, he directly entered the Mortal School to be the only student there.

The academy was divided into five sections: Mortal School, Emperor Mansion, Sacred Inst.i.tution, Hundred Halls, and Study Room.

Mortal School was the top cla.s.s in the academy. There were generations when no one was qualified to enroll. Just one in each generation was amazing enough.

For example, Ren Sheng. He was quite an amazing fella with incredible talents and a unique bloodline. All of this was not enough for him to enroll in Mortal School.

Rumor has it that this cla.s.sroom only trained potential top emperors and Ancient G.o.ds so naturally, the requirements were stringent.

Whoever graduated from it would certainly have a wonderful future. One example was Six Dao Monarch.

Though the academy has never admitted this, everyone implicitly considered it as the truth. If one could enter Mortal School, their future accomplishments would be incredible even if they couldn’t become an Ancient G.o.d or a top emperor. After graduating, joining these realms was only the beginning.

Thus, his admittance to Mortal School after joining the academy caused quite a stir. Even the retired schoolmaster personally came out to become Gu Guo’s teacher.

Of course, this incited some jealousy as well. Even Ren Sheng didn’t receive this treatment and only learned at Emperor Mansion. Because of this, some speculated that Gu Guo’s achievements would be much greater than Ren Sheng.

After taking all of this into consideration, people accepted his self-proclaimed t.i.tle as “South Emperor”.

In fact, this was a domineering and borderline unreasonable move. People wouldn’t pick a t.i.tle before becoming an emperor but Gu Guo still did it. Just how confident was he?!

Therefore, certain fans of Ren Sheng were antagonistic and jealous of Gu Guo. They were eager to see him make a fool out of himself.

It would be hilarious if he couldn’t become an emperor or fail to match Ren Sheng later on.

By all means, Gu Guo was still very famous and adored. After all, his strength was unquestionable. No students could actually take him on; only the teachers were qualified to do so.

After arriving, Gu Guo didn’t stop at the gate. He entered the academy and disappeared into the rolling hills inside.

“Senior Gu Guo will certainly become a twelve-will Immortal Monarch.” A beautiful female student watched him the whole time and said as if drunk with infatuation.
