Beastmaster of the Ages

Among the Suzaku Kingdom, Yanhuang Academy is the most sacred and noble academy for beast masters. It is said that its history is older than the capital of the Suzaku Kingdom.

And more often than not, Yanhuang Academy is not just a school, it is more like a symbol. At least Li Tianming knows that, not to mention forces at the level of Lei Zun Mansion and Xingchen Chamber of Commerce, even the Suzaku royal family, which controls the lifeblood of the country, has no influence on Yanhuang. The academy has enough respect. Throughout history, countless princes and princesses have practiced in the Yanhuang Academy.

Li Tianming even heard that the reason why the Yanhuang Academy has existed for thousands of years and has never fallen is because there are background forces behind it that are beyond the imagination of the people of the Suzaku Kingdom.

For example, the 'Tianfu' of the Academy was a mysterious place for Li Tianming. It was said that it was the real core of the Academy.

As the sacred place for beast masters in the Suzaku Kingdom, Yanhuang Academy has trained countless generations of beast masters and has a lofty status. The entire academy is so vast, occupying almost half of the land in the northern district of Yandu. The entire Yanhuang Academy is smaller than Suzaku. The imperial cities of the royal family are even bigger.

Today is the day of the quadrennial academic palace exam. Li Tianming came here early in the morning. Needless to say, he knew that the place was packed with people today.

"Today is just a clearance battle, not a ranking battle, but there are so many people, more than four years ago."

Of course, not all the visitors were young girls who had received the Yanhuang Order, many of them were parents and servants. Looking around, there are countless top experts, and the prosperity and magnificence of Yandu are fully reflected here.

The gate of Yanhuang Academy is not magnificent. It is made of simple boulders and is full of traces of time and aging. Such a simple but heavy layout truly reveals the foundation of the academy's thousands of years of existence. The world's best beast masters I have always dreamed of coming here.

Four years ago, Li Tianming passed the palace examination with excitement and became a disciple of the academy. Today, four years later, when he came to the gate of the academy, his mood seemed completely different.

Because he knew that the two people who ruined everything for him three years ago were now deep in the Yanhuang Academy, enjoying the treatment of the top geniuses. They would never have thought that Li Tianming had returned.

Clearing the customs battle was a very simple step for Li Tianming, not too difficult. He walked inside along with the crowd, holding the Yanhuang Token in his hand. He only needed to complete the registration, and he could step into the Yanhuang Academy again and participate in the customs clearance. Palace exam.

There are a total of five registration locations at the entrance of the Academy. There are now long queues at these five locations. The people queuing up with him are all young boys and girls aged fifteen or sixteen. They are all young and beautiful, with eyes full of hope. young people.

They were nervous and excited, just like Li Tianming four years ago.

Once he is over twenty years old, he is no longer eligible to compete for the Yanhuang Order. Li Tian is very lucky. In more than a month, he will be overage.

Of the five registration locations, Li Tianming chose the registration desk at the 'Phoenix Palace'.

In addition to the core 'Tianfu', the Yanhuang Academy is divided into five halls, namely the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, the Phoenix Hall, the Azure Hall, the Yuanling Hall and the Tianyi Hall.

These five halls recruit companion beast masters of animals, birds, fish, insects and special categories respectively.

Birds respect the legendary phoenix, which is why it is called the Phoenix Palace. The Phoenix Palace has an ancient heritage and is the largest palace in the Yanhuang Academy along with the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace. It has many disciples and talented people.

When he was almost in line, Li Tianming saw to his surprise that the person in charge of registration at the Phoenix Hall registration desk today was actually his 'old classmate' from four years ago.

After losing his companion beast three years ago, he was no longer able to practice, so he dropped out of school on his own and left the Phoenix Palace. The disciples who entered the Yanhuang Academy with him back then are probably now in the 'intermediate class'.

The five major halls of Yanhuang Academy are divided into four-year classes, with each class having a grade. There are a total of three grades, namely junior class, intermediate class and advanced class.

Every four years, a junior class is recruited, and the disciples in the junior class who meet the requirements and meet the standards are promoted to the intermediate class. As for the highest senior class disciples, they have been cultivating in Yanhuang Academy for ten to twelve years. Graduation is allowed.

Of course, if you have high attainments in cultivation and rich experience, the Academy can also invite you to become a Academy teacher. The teachers in Yanhuang Academy have a very high status and are definitely at the top level. Therefore, graduates of advanced classes basically work extremely hard in order to compete to become teachers.

Three years ago, Li Tianming dropped out of the junior class of the Phoenix Palace. However, his classmates in the same period have made great progress after three years of hard training, and at least they have become beast masters in the Spiritual Source Realm.

Being promoted to the intermediate class means that their cultivation has passed the assessment and reached the standards of the intermediate class. If they fail to achieve it, they will be ordered to repeat the grade and stay in the junior class for four more years.

In Yanhuang Academy, repeating a grade is an extremely shameful thing. It not only wastes four years of youth, but also becomes the object of ridicule. What is even more uncomfortable is that everyone only has one chance to repeat a grade. Once the second time still does not meet the standards , then he will be deprived of his status as a disciple of Yanhuang Academy and directly expelled from the academy.

The two people in front of me had studied together with Li Tianming for a year. They must have been promoted to the intermediate class and became senior brothers and senior sisters. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to shoulder such a heavy task here and register thousands of young people who have obtained the Yanhuang Order.

Among the five halls, the Phoenix Hall recruits 500 disciples every year. However, there are more than 1,500 young people who have obtained the Yanhuang Order and want to enter the Phoenix Hall. The passing rate of the hall examination is only one-third.

These two old classmates were a boy and a girl. The boy's name was Fang Zhao and the girl's name was Lin Qingyu. Li Tianming still knew them, but he didn't know if they still knew him.

After waiting in line for about an hour, it was finally Li Tianming's turn. He took out the Yanhuang Order and wrote his origin and name on the list.

Fang Zhao and Lin Qingyu both lowered their heads to collect, one was responsible for checking, and the other collected the Yanhuang Order.

"Li Huo City, Li Tianming." Fang Zhao, a man in black robe, picked up the list. When he saw the name on it, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head. When he saw Li Tianming, his expression was particularly wonderful.

"Li Tianming, why is it you?" Lin Qingyu was wearing an orange dress. Under the scorching sun, her skin was slightly sweaty.

"Fang Zhao, Lin Qingyu, you are well. I have obtained the Yanhuang Order again, and I am ready to make a comeback." The old classmates reunited, and Li Tianming remembered that when he first entered the Phoenix Palace four years ago, everyone was a newcomer from a remote area, and they interacted with each other. Help and grow together, those years were young but touching. I remember that at that time, Fang Zhao was still very timid and his cultivation was not good enough. He was beaten by others, and Li Tianming even helped him to get ahead.

But now, none of their expressions looked right. When they saw Li Tianming, they were not surprised to meet again, only frightened.

Lin Qingyu probably remembered Li Tianming's scandal three years ago, so he asked tentatively: "Tianming, are you serious?"

"Of course, I am not overage yet, and I also relied on hard work to obtain the Yanhuang Order from our Lihuo City again. After all, the academy does not stipulate that I cannot come to take the palace exam for the second time." Li Tianming said with a smile. .

"But your companion beast is already dead!" Fang Zhao raised his head, his face a little ugly, and then said: "Destiny, it has been more than three years. Because of your incident three years ago, our entire class of disciples were imprisoned. People have been laughing at you for a long time, so you better stop messing around here. If you really want to cause trouble, I will kick you out."

"No need, I meet all the procedures, you can just register." Li Tianming said lightly. He was not surprised that Fang Zhao would target him. To this day, he has long stopped lamenting that things are different and people are different. After all, it is commonplace.

"Without the companion beast, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I let you in? Li Tianming, it's not three years ago now. We have already been promoted to the intermediate class. If you really want to cause trouble, don't blame your old classmates for not caring about their original friendship. "Fang Zhao curled his lips, showing malice.

"Oh, it turns out he is already a senior in the intermediate class. That's amazing." Li Tianming gave him a thumbs up.

"Let me ask you again, do you want to go away or not?" Fang Zhao asked with a gloomy face.

"Qing Yu, are you as successful as him?" Li Tianming turned his head and looked at the girl next to him.

Lin Qingyu gritted her teeth, shook her head and said: "Forget it, I don't want to care about you, let's just take care of business. You meet the conditions and you got the Yanhuang Order. I can also check here the information about you getting the Yanhuang Order. You can go in." .”

"Qing Yu, don't let him go in and be embarrassed..." Fang Zhao said anxiously.

"Why are you so anxious? I want to embarrass myself and myself, and it has nothing to do with you." Li Tianming said.

"Li Tianming, you dare to talk to me like this, don't forget the difference in identity between you and me at this moment!" Fang Zhao suddenly stood up.

After three years of hard training and promotion to the intermediate class, his strength has improved greatly compared to back then.

"Awesome, awesome. Let me see it if you have a chance in the future." Li Tianming was too lazy to argue with him. After getting the permission, he turned around and stepped into Yanhuang Academy.

"I have a heavy responsibility today. I'll show you another day how I can crush you, a dirty waste, after three years of training." Fang Zhao couldn't catch up because he had a queue of thousands of people. .

Li Tianming did not look back because of his clamor. He was not afraid of such a tough-looking guy, no matter how high his level or fighting power was.

He just sighed, remembering that when everyone was young and ignorant, it was not like this.

Back then, everyone came from all over the world and entered the same junior class. At that time, everything was new to them. Those scenes of sitting on the floor and chatting all night long can only be sealed in memory.

I just don’t know, will the other students in the same class have the same virtues as Fang Zhao?

Maybe, we'll know soon.

He followed the crowd into the Yanhuang Academy. After walking through the gate, what appeared in front of him was the legendary place of the Academy - the Yanhuang Battlefield!

This is the place where the disciples of the academy compete and practice, and it is also where major competitions are held. The famous ranking battle of Yanhuang Academy is held here.

There are hundreds of huge arenas on the vast flat land in front of you. Each arena is an ancient boulder with countless traces of battles on it.

The entire vast flat land is surrounded by a ring-shaped building. There are tens of thousands of seats in this ring-shaped building, all prepared for spectators. The trials in Yanhuang Academy are all open-ended, and there are many Yandu who have status and status. People from all over the world can come in to watch the battle, and ordinary people can come in and pay their respects to the disciples of the Academy.

In addition to these tens of thousands of open-air seats, there are also hundreds of private rooms. The characters in these private rooms are the real top figures in the Suzaku Kingdom. The private rooms have a better perspective and can see all the arenas.

These arenas, plus the high-altitude audience seats, form the famous Yanhuang battlefield of the Academy. Over the thousands of years of this Yanhuang battlefield, countless young geniuses have become famous here and proven themselves here. This is the excitement of the Academy disciples. place.

Today's customs clearance battle, as well as the more important ranking battle that follows, are all taking place here.

When Li Tianming came in, there were many people sitting in the audience seats, many of them were elders. They could clearly see the performance of their descendants. There should be some distinguished people in the hundreds of private rooms at this time. exist.

For real geniuses, the difficulty of clearing the battle is not high, so today will definitely not be as lively as the day of the ranked battle.

However, Li Tianming never expected that there were two people he was very familiar with in the audience.

The two people were a man and a woman. Although the man was middle-aged, he still looked young. He had a long beard and was very majestic. As he sat here, he felt calm and majestic.

The woman next to her is much younger, about 20 years old. She has enchanting appearance, outstanding figure, and curvaceous curves. She can attract the attention of many others with every move and smile. She is truly a beauty.

They are Li Yanfeng and Liu Qing.
