"Let's take a look first."

Tang San glanced at the building and chose to tour the Magic Building first.

The group of eight stepped inside.

Every floor was arranged facing forward with comfortable seats, while the wall ahead had been replaced by transparent floor-to-ceiling glass.

There was no podium in the classrooms. At the very back of the building lay a huge open-air pond, as though it had split the entire teaching building in two.

The open-air pond was visible from every floor!

Many Soul Masters who had arrived early were sitting in their seats, seemingly dozing off?

"What's going on here? Where are the teachers?" Ning Rongrong looked at the terrible teaching environment in disappointment.

There were no teachers in the enormous teaching building.

All the students were napping!

How was this a teaching building? It was clearly a lounge!

"I thought Jixia Academy was supposed to be amazing! But this is it?"

Xiao Wu pursed her lips regretfully.

Before coming here, they had been utterly awestruck by the grandeur of the Great Wall and the formidable strength of the Chang'an Empire.

Yet the Chang'an Empire had opened such a terrible Soul Master Academy!

"The Chang'an Empire is huge. No matter how broke it is, surely it can afford to hire teachers? Opening a school without teachers—what kind of nonsense is that?" Zhao Wuji said speechlessly, patting his forehead.

Many Soul Masters who had just entered the teaching building were similarly confused and disappointed by this teaching environment.

"This is the Soul Master Academy the Chang'an Empire spent a fortune building?"

"What kind of Jixia Academy is this? Isn't this just bullying honest people?"

The local Soul Masters were filled with complaints!

"Good thing I'm not a Soul Master from the Chang'an Empire. Being forced to sleep would be exhausting too!"

The non-local Soul Masters felt immensely relieved instead!

Hu Liena and the other two also entered and stopped beside Tang San's group.

However, they did not know each other at the moment.

Seeing this teaching environment, Hu Liena and the other two were baffled.

"This is far too perfunctory. I thought their teachers would be terrible, but I never expected there wouldn't even be any teachers!"

Yan nearly laughed his mouth crooked!

And they thought they were worthy of forming a Soul Master army?

They even wanted to compete with Spirit Hall for people?

A Soul Master army trained in such an environment probably could not even defeat an ordinary mortal army!

"It feels like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it." Hu Liena's seductive eyes swept around the room.

In her mind, Xue Luochuan had always seemed like an extremely shrewd ruler.

He should not have turned a Soul Master Academy into such a mess!

"Could it be that the people below embezzled the money, leaving Jixia Academy so poor that it can't even afford teachers?"

After pondering for a long time, Hu Liena could only come up with this explanation.

Xie Yue's mouth twitched violently. "I remember Teacher saying that the Chang'an Empire has always cracked down hard on corruption. How could anyone still embezzle such important funding at a time like this?"

"Why not? People die for wealth, birds die for food," Hu Liena said slowly.

Footsteps sounded behind them.

It was the Xing Luo Empire's visiting delegation, along with Shui Bing'er, the Chang'an Empire's diplomatic representative.

Xue Luochuan intended to groom Shui Bing'er and the others, so he had temporarily entrusted many important positions to them as well.

"Hehe." Dai Weisi immediately laughed when he saw this bizarre scene.

He had guessed right after all.

The Chang'an Empire had spent massively on construction and no longer had much money left!

Look at them—so poor now that they could not even afford teachers!

The Soul Masters recruited by Jixia Academy were already of poor quality.

Now the teaching quality was this bad too. The Chang'an Empire was clearly finished!

The Xing Luo Empire delegation looked toward Shui Bing'er as if watching a joke.

Their gazes were filled with pity.

To them, Shui Bing'er was a pitiful person.

She had been sold out by her own academy head and turned into Chang'an's captive.

Now that Emperor of Chang'an had pulled such reckless antics, the fall of his empire probably wasn't far off!

This poor girl was about to suffer another crushing defeat!

Shui Bing'er remained calm.

She had long grown used to this and explained, "Magic Academy's teaching methods are rather special. Everyone may sit down and experience them for yourselves."

"This needs experiencing? Experience what? Sleeping?" Zhu Zhuyun, with her voluptuous figure, thrust out her chest, her tone brimming with mockery.

The other soul masters were also full of ridicule.

"Yes. Magic Academy's teaching method is sleeping!" Shui Bing'er answered with a serious expression.

The moment she said this, another wave of astonishment and mockery erupted throughout the hall!

"Holy shit! Did I hear that right?!"

"Teaching means sleeping? That's seriously impressive?"

"Wow! What kind of novel teaching method is this? It's really innovative!"

"I've never seen anyone grow stronger by sleeping!"

Everyone was stunned by this bizarre teaching method!

Ma Hongjun's ears twitched as he spoke enviously, "Class is just sleeping, and you get a subsidy after sleeping for a month? There's actually something this good? I really want to transfer schools!"

His last four words were extremely quiet!

Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, each seeing deep confusion in the other's eyes.

Aside from Ma Hongjun, who was interested in this teaching method, they had no interest in it at all!

How could wasting one's days possibly make someone stronger?

"What a strange teaching method!"

Zhao Wuji wanted to laugh, but he did not dare.

He was afraid of getting beaten!

But from the looks of it, Jixia Academy was merely riding on the Chang'an Empire's reputation.

It had been established solely to keep the empire's soul masters in line.

It had no real foundation at all; it was just a joke!

Yan bit his lips hard, both hands pinching the flesh of his own body.

I can't laugh!

This was the Chang'an Empire, a place with powerful soul masters stationed here!

If he laughed loudly in someone else's academy, he would be thrown out!

Hu Liena's expression was also quite strange, but her instincts told her that things were probably not so simple!

"Why don't we find a spot and sleep for a while too?"

"Fine." Xie Yue nodded.

They could not just leave in such confusion, could they?

Dai Weisi and the others were quite disdainful of this.

But leaving just like that would be too disrespectful.

They had come as envoys to visit, so they could not embarrass the other side so openly!

"Let's sleep for a while. We've traveled for so long, and I'm a little tired too." Dai Weisi began looking for a seat.

He did not take this sleep seriously at all, treating it merely as a chance to rest.

Zhu Zhuyun and the Star Luo team followed close behind.

"Since we're already here, let's give it a try. There aren't any seats on this floor, so let's go upstairs!" Tang San looked around.

There were quite a few local soul masters from the Chang'an Empire.

The first floor was already completely occupied.

Thus, the Shrek group also went upstairs and found seats.

"Looks like Jixia Academy really is terrible!" Ye Zhi Qiu said quietly.

A soul master academy reflected the depth of a faction's soul master foundation.

If Jixia Academy was this poor, the Chang'an Empire's image would be affected as well!

Yao Zi of Plant Academy shook her head repeatedly.

Many academies had come to visit with the intention of learning.

Yet after arriving, they were told to sleep!

For a time, the various academies and visiting soul masters all felt disappointed.

It was as though they had misjudged the place.

But they still went to find seats.

They were already here!
