The Soul Martial Continent had twelve super empires standing tall. Under each super empire, there were countless cities, but within each city, there would be a Soul Suppressing General, and the fastest way to become a Soul Suppressing General was through the Five Great Academies. As long as one graduated from the Five Great Academies, they would have the qualifications to participate in the Twelve Soul Suppressing Orb.

In the eyes of all the factions within the city, the Five Great Academies were a colossus that could not be resisted at all. They were the foundation of the twelve super empires, and they were even unable to know just how terrifying the power and foundation of the Five Great Academies was. All they knew was that the Soul Suppressing Generals, who symbolized their strength in all the cities, walked out of the Five Great Academies.

Because of this, almost everyone tried to send their children into this huge monster. They all knew that as long as they successfully entered the Five Great Academies, their accomplishments and strength would definitely surpass those of ordinary people.

Although the Great Yan Empire was one of the twelve super empires, it was located in a relatively remote area and its resources were far inferior to other super empires. If they wanted to surpass other super empires, sending their outstanding disciples to the five great academies was undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, every time the Great Yan Empire opened the Five Great Academies, the various large cities would be extremely lively. In fact, even the legitimate royal family would personally come to some places, because among these students, there would definitely be a son of heaven.

The current Cloud Sea City was undoubtedly the busiest day in the entire year. Within the enormous city, there was a vast sea of people. All sorts of noisy noises continuously spread out from the city and could be heard within a circumference of a hundred miles.

The annual feast of the year had set up a venue for it. It was located in the Cloud Sea Academy, which was located in the center of the Cloud Sea City. Because the arena of the Cloud Sea Academy was the most spacious, and the audience seating was enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Although there was still half a day before the selection, the vast arena had already been occupied by a sea of people. As far as the eye could see, the black mass of people extended all the way to the outside of the city walls, and even the tall buildings were filled with people.

Within the Cloud Sea Academy, all the students who had not yet reached eighteen years of age, as well as the disciples of the other clans, were gathered here. Their small faces were red because of nervousness or excitement. Some of them had come to participate in the competition in order to observe it in advance, and they could also estimate just how strong the people who were participating this year were.

Right now, these special seats were all filled with figures. The auras of these figures were extremely extraordinary and their soul power was dense, and amongst this group of people, there was a figure that Xia Hun Wu was extremely familiar with. It was the Grand Elder of the Xia clan, Xia He.

”Haha, Brother Tianhe, I heard that Xia Ze has awakened his Destiny Soul Beast. Will he also come to participate this time?”

From among the seats, a deep and loud laughter rang out. Turning around, one would see an extremely burly middle-aged man looking at the Summer River with a face full of smiles.

This burly middle-aged man was a member of the Li Clan, and was known as Li Xuan.

Hearing this, Xia He also cupped his hands together and said with a face full of smiles: ”Brother Li is too courteous. Xia Ze, I don't even know how much you've done for yourself.
