"Ge Shimin, that's a bit underhanded, isn't it!"

"You found such a promising student and hid him away tight!"

Battle Academy

Above Mingyuan Building

Seven or eight hundred teachers, none below Disaster rank, stood suspended in the air.

"Ge Shimin, the old rules. Stop hiding and let's have a match!"

"Whichever academy wins gets to take Xin Yang..."

Before he could finish speaking,

A deep, powerful voice rang out from within Mingyuan Building!

"Don't scare the new kids outside."

"Open your Eerie Domains and come in!"

In an instant, the hundreds of teachers opened their own Eerie Domains, shrouding Mingyuan Building of the Battle Academy.

"Dean, can we hold them off?"

"Dean, should we call back some people from the checkpoint worlds?" Qu Chengzhong swallowed nervously.

Because they had never seen anything like this before.

In previous years, when fighting over gifted students, at most a few dozen colleagues from other academies would show up.

But now, teachers from every academy were rushing toward the Battle Academy.

And this month happened to be the Battle Academy's turn to guard the checkpoint worlds.

At present, only a few dozen teachers remained at the Battle Academy.

For something on this scale, aside from Dean Ge Shimin, probably no one had ever seen it before.

The scene reminded Ge Shimin of a day more than a hundred years ago.

Back then, teachers from the entire Glory University had also been fighting over a student.

That student was Glory University's current president.

Hua Guobang...

At the time, Ge Shimin had been an utterly ordinary freshman.

That day, he had sat on the Battle Academy's field as an ordinary student, watching the teachers fight over Hua Guobang.

Today, his role had changed. He had become the dean protecting a promising student.

The four universities of the Eerie Continent had an unwritten rule.

So long as a student had not officially enrolled, teachers could use their strength to win promising students away from other academies.

This was an unspoken rule humanity had established amid the harsh conditions of the early revival of eerie energy, intended to prevent powerful academies from being unable to get good students.

Survival of the fittest!

"Enough nonsense. The old rules: no eerie skills, no curse abilities, no eerie items. Let your fists do the talking."

"Whichever academy has someone who can fucking stay standing until the end gets to take Xin Yang."

Once the many teachers opened their Eerie Domains,

The students outside could no longer see what was happening within them.

Whoosh~

The storm grew increasingly fierce. Gale-force winds swept up the rain, spinning nonstop and forming two enormous vortices.

Outside Mingyuan Building of the Battle Academy, the sun still shone brightly. Yet inside Mingyuan Building, it was as though they had entered another world.

"Dean, what do we do? Looking at the other academies, they won't stop until they've taken Xin Yang."

The Eerie Domain inside Mingyuan Building continued expanding.

By now, more than a thousand teachers of every kind had arrived at the Battle Academy, and more kept coming.

But no one had made a move yet, because the teachers from every academy were waiting for the one person from their academy who could truly make the decisions to arrive.

Lu Hua, who had originally gritted his teeth and steeled himself, now felt like crying. When had he ever encountered something on this scale?

"Dean, how about... we give Xin Yang to another academy?"

"Where's that momentum you had when you argued with Qu Chengzhong just now? We can't give Xin Yang away. Do you know who the last student fought over like this was? That old beast Hua Guobang..."

Within the Eerie Domain, it seemed as if a flood had broken loose, surging with overwhelming force. It was no longer the pleasant, hot-spring-like environment from moments ago.

The Battle Academy's eerie energy was forcibly drawn into the two storms within the Eerie Domain.

Above Mingyuan Building.

Bi Zhenglin immediately grew restless. "Dean, should we start snatching him now?"

"Wait a little longer. There's a time for fighting over students too. Not only can't we damage our relationships, we also need to make them accept the outcome wholeheartedly."

"Dean, our Defense Academy has the most people right now. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid more and more people from the other academies will arrive."

"What are you panicking for? Can't you see the other academies haven't made a move either? One word... wait..."

"Dean, I was rash!"

Suddenly, Bi Zhenglin gritted his teeth. "Dean, I've already notified all our academy's teachers below Calamity Death rank who are stationed in the checkpoint worlds!"

In truth, it was not just the Defense Academy of Glory University calling for reinforcements. Teachers from the other academies were doing the same, their brows furrowed in silence.

At this moment, more than two thousand teachers had gathered at the Battle Academy.

After the freshman assessment, everyone understood one thing.

Xin Yang was no ordinary talent!

A so-called genius was not someone born with the word stamped on their forehead. It meant that with the same effort, what you gained could surpass others by several times over.

Yet there was another kind of person—the genius among geniuses!

Even without doing anything, they might become an existence at the very peak.

Now, every teacher at Glory University believed Xin Yang was the latter...

Another hour passed!

Three people whose entire bodies were brimming with eerie energy arrived above the Battle Academy from several miles away in an instant.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

Everyone was here!

Ten thousand teachers had already gathered within the Eerie Domain of Mingyuan Building at the Battle Academy.

"Start fighting..."

"Defense Academy, take it easy. Whoever dares secretly use eerie skills or curse abilities will have ten years of salary docked."

"Colleagues from the Auxiliary Academy, fight with your fists. Just knock down the people from the other academies."

"Primordial Academy, anyone who uses cultivation techniques or eerie skills will be expelled on the spot!"

The Eerie Domain inside Mingyuan Building had now expanded to the size of an entire checkpoint world.

Yet the students outside Mingyuan Building were completely unaffected.

Inside the Eerie Domain

Lu Hua's hands were wrapped in black eerie energy. Spiritual power surged around him, and even the air surrounding his fists seemed to twist faintly.

Facing him was another man whose left leg was wrapped in blue eerie energy. The eerie energy coiling around his left leg spread through the air in ripples like water, forming a unique field.

The other instructors also had eerie energy wrapped around different parts of their bodies, making for a dazzling sight.

After the fight began, not a single instructor used eerie skills or curse abilities.

They simply traded blows with fists and kicks wrapped in eerie energy.

It looked rather like a chaotic street brawl between hooligans.

Except this brawl was a little larger in scale—there were more than ten thousand instructors.

"Fuck, they're our own people! You're even hitting someone from the same academy?"

"Sorry! Sorry! I couldn't see clearly..."

"Stop apologizing and get over here. Let's beat this Defense Academy guy flat first."

The scene was utter chaos.

Outside Mingyuan Building, the young men and women gradually noticed that something was wrong inside.

"Huh? Are our instructors fighting in there?"

"How could that be? This is Glory University."

"They've even summoned their Eerie Domains!" exclaimed a third-year senior who knew a little about such things.

A counselor who had only started interning a few months ago reassured the students around him. "Don't be afraid, students. Stay calm. These teachers are probably just discussing an academic issue. There's no need to worry."

"Hey! I'm telling you! Some teachers got beaten so badly they're vomiting blood and flying out of there!!!"

"Fuck! Where? Where?!!!"

The students outside Mingyuan Building were shocked and hurriedly rubbed their eyes.

Once again, thank you to every brother who voted and kept reading. Thank you all for your support, and thank you as well to the brothers who helped correct my typos. Hahahaha, I can be a bit careless sometimes, so please forgive me, brothers!
