Academies didn't just wait for students to come sign up. They also went out recruiting, and when they found someone suitable, they would reveal their identity and try to bring them aboard.
This was the most ordinary way to recruit.
As for the Hall of Heroes, in addition to normal recruitment, when they came across promising talent, they would show off their strength in front of them. That could even include beating them up.
No wonder they'd think that.
"No. They wouldn't join any academy. The only reason I asked you to beat them up was that I couldn't stand the sight of them," Li Pu said.
"Ah—why?" They were completely baffled.
"Let me explain."
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward at just the right moment. "They're a bunch of brainless lunatics who cause trouble at the drop of a hat. They think anyone who avoids trouble is a good-for-nothing, and they look down on their peers. If one of their little friends suffers even the slightest injury, they'll beat the other person half to death and refuse to stop. And among them, there's a scumbag who's a womanizer, as well as a lecher who can't live without women.
"In short, there aren't many decent people among them. If you try to save them, using force won't make them submit. They'll just lie low, grow stronger, and then strike you with a fatal blow."

"So that's why you wanted us to beat them up. Put that way, they really do deserve a beating," one of the girls said, understanding.
"Being a womanizer is one thing, but someone who can't live without women? What use is a person like that? Just beating them up is far
