Secret Investigation! The Great Wall Spectacle, Ning Rongrong's Shock!

It was not only Spirit Hall that had sent people to Jixia Academy to gather information.

After learning that Jixia Academy had opened its doors, the major Soul Master Academies across the continent

also began to stir.

"Jixia Academy, a Soul Master Academy funded by the Chang'an Empire?"

"As a powerful nation capable of resisting the Tian Dou Empire's invasion, the Chang'an Empire must have some special teaching methods to secretly cultivate so many Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo!"

"Could those powerful Soul Masters be connected to Jixia Academy?"

"Should we go take a look? Even if we don't enroll, we should at least see what their Soul Master Academy is like!"

"That sounds good!"

Shrek Academy.

Inside the shabby dean's office.

The tall, thin middle-aged man wearing glasses sat in a rocking chair, pondering for a moment before waving over Master Yu Xiaogang, who was bent over writing something.

"Jixia Academy has opened. Although the continent's Soul Masters have largely been divided among the various factions, the Chang'an Empire may still be hiding something. We can send someone to investigate."

Master Yu Xiaogang set down his pen and paper, immediately understanding. "You mean the secret behind cultivating powerful figures like Li Xin?"

Flender nodded gravely.

The Chang'an Empire always seemed to produce extraordinarily powerful Soul Masters out of nowhere.

The entire continent was talking about the Chang'an Empire.

Even he had been shocked by the succession of powerful figures appearing there!

The situation on the continent was tense now. When the nest was overturned, how could any egg remain intact? They could be caught up in it at any time.

They needed to make preparations as well.

Now that Jixia Academy had opened, he had to send people to investigate it.

Perhaps they might uncover some clues.

"I understand. I'm also extremely curious about the Chang'an Empire's rise."

"I'll have Tang San and the others sneak into Chang'an and secretly investigate Jixia Academy from within."

Master Yu Xiaogang immediately nodded and left.

Ever since Jixia Academy had opened.

The already bustling Chang'an Empire had become even livelier.

At the Great Wall's gates along the main roads, long lines formed as people entered and exited. Even at some rarely used gates, figures could now be seen.

Outside the Great Wall in the direction of West City.

On a sparsely populated path.

Seven young boys and girls, led by a burly man, chatted and laughed as they made their way to the Great Wall's gate.

"Wow! Is this the Great Wall? It's really so long! I've never seen a structure like this before!"

Ma Hongjun, the chubby red-haired boy, stared at the endless wall and cried out in amazement!

"As expected of the Chang'an Empire! They really know how to make an impression!" Oscar, the refined short-haired youth beside him, was equally awestruck.

From afar, it resembled a silver-white Sleeping Dragon, using its body as a border to encircle the lands of Chang'an.

Both of them came from commoner backgrounds and had seen little of the world.

Faced with such a magnificent structure, they could not stop marveling!

"I can't imagine how safe it must feel to live inside there!" Ma Hongjun gazed at the wall with deep envy.

"It truly is magnificent. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is famed across the land for its wealth, yet even they have never undertaken anything on this scale!"

Ning Rongrong, dressed in a flowing pink gown, was also filled with admiration.

She had seen far more than the other two, but the Great Wall still left her utterly amazed!

Xiao Wu, with her two braided pigtails, had been exclaiming in wonder ever since she first saw it from afar!

Even Zhu Zhuqing, who usually wore a cold expression, was slightly moved.

"Although it looks majestic and grand, there isn't much point in building a Great Wall like this." Dai Mubai, the tall, broad-shouldered captain with blond hair and mismatched eyes, spread his hands.

Born into royalty, he had a more discerning eye than the others!

"Boss Dai has a point." Tang San, dressed in ancient-style blue robes, agreed. "Such a massive project drains both the people and the treasury. It will surely damage the nation's foundation. For a newly risen empire with an unstable foundation to act so recklessly... in my view, the Chang'an Empire is already on the path to destruction!"

As they chatted, they passed the checkpoint inspection and entered.

Then they headed southeast, arriving in South City, where Jixia Academy had been built.

"There are so many people. It's so lively—far livelier than Suotuo City."

They curiously looked around.

The Chang'an Empire was renowned far and wide.

Jixia Academy's opening had also shaken the continent!

Besides the many Soul Masters coming and going, there were also students sent by other academies to observe.

Among them was a group they knew very well.

Canghui Academy!

When Ye Zhi Qiu, Canghui Academy's mustached lead teacher, saw the Shrek group, a clear flash of fear crossed his eyes.

It seemed Zhao Wuji had frightened him badly before!

Zhao Wuji smugly crossed his arms and raised his brows at Canghui Academy's lead teacher.

Ye Zhi Qiu immediately led his students into the crowd and slipped away.

Suddenly.

An exceptionally eye-catching group appeared amid the flow of people.

Every Soul Master in this group had bright green hair, and their clothes also leaned toward emerald green.

Their appearance drew the attention of quite a few passersby.

"Plant Academy? Looks like this has stirred up quite a few academies!" Zhao Wuji smiled teasingly.

"Why haven't those famous Element Academies come?" Ning Rongrong looked around with her lovely pink eyes.

Yet she did not see the Five Elements Academy's group.

"They fought the Chang'an Empire before. Sending people here now would be asking for death, wouldn't it?" Zhao Wuji shrugged.

The battle between the sects behind the Five Elements Academy and the Chang'an Empire had been truly earth-shaking!

The Elephant Armor Sect's leader had died, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader had retreated!

That battle had completely established the Chang'an Empire's formidable status!

It ranked below only one hall and two empires.

Its strength and reputation were already on par with the reclusive number one sect, the Clear Sky Sect, with even signs of surpassing it!

"That's true!" Ning Rongrong nodded thoughtfully.

They had heard about that as well.

"Wait! Why are they here?" Dai Mubai's mismatched eyes seemed to notice something, and his breathing stalled!

His gaze fixed on another equally ostentatious group.

The leading youth in that group had blond hair, green eyes, and a tall, broad frame.

He possessed a handsome face strikingly similar to Dai Mubai's!

Led by a Chang'an Empire diplomat, they were heading toward Jixia Academy.

"The Xing Luo Empire's eldest prince, Dai Weisi!" Zhu Zhuqing's cold brows furrowed, and every nerve in her body tightened to the extreme.

Dai Weisi also seemed to notice Dai Mubai and the others, following their gazes to look over.

However, this was the Chang'an Empire.

A place guarded by several powerful Titled Douluo. He did not dare act recklessly. He merely smiled faintly before walking away on his own.

His purpose in coming this time was to visit and inspect Jixia Academy.

He had no desire to waste more time on Dai Mubai.

"What's going on?" Zhao Wuji watched Dai Weisi and his group leave, utterly confused.

"It's nothing." Dai Mubai shook his head.

Following the flow of people, they headed toward Jixia Academy.
