Godwind Academy

Several days later, a teenage boy stepped down from an ornate carriage.

Looking at the academy gates before him, the boy took a deep breath. "I've finally arrived at Godwind Academy."

This boy was naturally Mo Hui. He had not directly joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but he had accepted its investment.

It couldn't be helped. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had offered too much.

Perhaps because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the sect's core inherited martial soul, was a support-type martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never been stingy when recruiting outside geniuses—especially non-support-type geniuses. The terms they offered were also exceptionally generous.

Not only had they given Mo Hui ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in one lump sum and a half-cubic-meter storage Soul Tool, but from then on, Mo Hui would also receive five thousand Gold Soul Coins in support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect every year.

The price was merely that, after graduating, Mo Hui would need to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with a few tasks within his capabilities.

Only a wealthy and powerful sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would accept such terms. After all, an agreement without any binding force could very easily come to nothing.

"Since we've delivered you here, it's time for us to leave!"

After Mo Hui got down from the carriage, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside as he spoke to Mo Hui.

Mo Hui nodded. "Travel safely, uncles."

After learning that Mo Hui intended to study at Godwind Academy, Ning Fengxu had not only immediately written him a letter of recommendation addressed to the academy's dean, but had also directly dispatched two Soul Ancestors to escort Mo Hui here in a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect carriage. He had been exceedingly thorough.

Thinking of this, Mo Hui could not help but marvel at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's generosity. He also vaguely understood why Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were so loyal to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Though they were already Titled Douluo, they were still willing to obey the orders of Ning Fengzhi, a level 79 Soul Sage.

Perhaps they or their families had once received great kindness from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and so they served the sect in repayment.

Just as Mo Hui was about to enter Godwind Academy, a gatekeeper stopped him.

"Little friend, what are you here for?"

Perhaps because he had clearly seen Mo Hui step out of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect carriage, the gatekeeper did not act the slightest bit arrogant. Instead, he asked gently.

Mo Hui took out the recommendation letter Ning Fengxu had written from the storage pouch at his waist and handed it to the gatekeeper. "I'm here to enroll at Godwind Academy. This is my recommendation letter. Please inform them for me."

Among the Five Elements Academy, only Skywater Academy recruited commoners directly. Mo Hui had originally thought joining Godwind Academy might be somewhat troublesome, but now that he had Ning Fengxu's recommendation letter, it was no longer an issue.

"Enroll?"

Hearing this, the Godwind Academy gatekeeper froze slightly. After taking the recommendation letter Mo Hui handed over, his expression immediately changed. He told Mo Hui to wait a moment before hurrying inside.

Not long after the gatekeeper went in, a teacher in his forties or fifties emerged, dressed in a green robe embroidered with silver thread.

"You're Mo Hui?"

The teacher looked Mo Hui over and asked for confirmation.

Mo Hui nodded. "I'm Mo Hui. Greetings, Teacher!"

"Mo Hui, the dean has already seen your recommendation letter. Come with me."

With that, the teacher led Mo Hui into Godwind Academy.

As they walked, the teacher said to Mo Hui, "My name is Feng Yan. You can call me Teacher Yan. If you encounter any difficulties at Godwind Academy in the future, you can come find me."

As for why he was not called Teacher Feng, it was naturally because most of Godwind Academy's teachers and students had the surname Feng, so they could only be distinguished by their given names.

Feng Yan was highly efficient. Before long, he had completed Mo Hui's enrollment procedures and arranged his accommodations.

"You'll be staying in Wind 1-90 from now on. It's equipped with most of the things you'll need. If there's anything else you require, you can take a look at the shops within the academy."

Feng Yan handed Mo Hui the dormitory key and then left, seemingly having something else to do.

Mo Hui opened the dormitory door. Seeing the furnishings inside and the neatly made bed, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes. It really did have everything.

Godwind Academy's dormitories differed from those of Nuoding Academy. They were single rooms, complete not only with a bedroom, but also a bathroom and kitchen. Most necessities were provided, making Mo Hui feel as though he had come not to a dormitory, but to an inn.

After briefly washing himself, Mo Hui changed into Godwind Academy's uniform and left his dormitory.

Though Mo Hui wanted to immediately begin meditating and cultivating on his bed, it was his first day at the academy, so he still needed to familiarize himself with the place.

Otherwise, it would be rather embarrassing if he got lost on the way to class.

At the same time, Mo Hui also wanted to see what Godwind Academy's Mimicry Cultivation Ground was actually like.

Godwind Academy was located beside a massive canyon. The winds here were extremely strong, and wind elements were exceptionally active. Even the concentration of wind elements within the academy surpassed that of the small mountaintop in Nuoding City.

This made Mo Hui greatly anticipate just how effective Godwind Academy's true Mimicry Cultivation Ground could be.

However, after walking around for a while, Mo Hui saw no sign of the Mimicry Cultivation Ground and could not help frowning.

Just then, a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen happened to walk over. Mo Hui immediately asked, "Senior, may I ask where Godwind Academy's Mimicry Cultivation Ground is?"

"A newly arrived freshman?"

However, instead of answering directly, the young man looked Mo Hui up and down before asking in return.

Mo Hui nodded.

"Then it's no surprise."

As he spoke, the young man pointed outside the academy. "See that canyon outside the academy? It's called Hurricane Canyon. It's Godwind Academy's Mimicry Cultivation Ground—the finest Mimicry Cultivation Ground there is!"

"No matter how well ordinary Mimicry Cultivation Grounds simulate an environment, increasing Soul Power cultivation speed by fifty percent is already quite impressive. But in Hurricane Canyon, as long as you can endure it, doubling your cultivation speed is easy."

"It's that powerful!?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Hui was immediately startled. A doubled cultivation speed—wouldn't that give an ordinary Soul Master the cultivation speed of a genius with Innate Soul Power at levels eight or nine?

"It really is that powerful, but unfortunately, very few can achieve it."

With a cold laugh, the young man continued, "Hurricane Canyon isn't a pleasant place. The living conditions inside are exceptionally harsh. You have to endure the relentless battering of fierce winds at every moment. An ordinary Soul Master who can stay inside for several days is already outstanding, and after coming out, they need several more days to recover. So, achieving a hundred percent increase in Soul Power cultivation speed is extremely difficult.

"The person in our academy who stayed inside the longest was Feng Xiaotian. He once remained there for a month, and when he came out, his Soul Power had directly risen by one level. But unfortunately, now..."

At this point, the young man shook his head and sighed. "Forget it, let's not talk about that. If you want to go to Hurricane Canyon, remember to be careful. Since the academy was founded, quite a few students have died in Hurricane Canyon. Know your limits!"

After saying this, the young man ignored Mo Hui and left directly.

Mo Hui, meanwhile, stroked his chin, his gaze seeming to drift beyond the academy.

"Hurricane Canyon. It sounds pretty good."
