The next morning, Qinchuan had yet to wake up when he was shaken awake by Lü Zi.
"Little Chuan, how's your body?"
Lü Zi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Qinchuan who was still in a daze. She said to Qinchuan, "Yesterday, my grandfather came to find me, so I left first. I wasn't able to stay by your side the entire time."
Qinchuan sat up and stretched. He said to Lü Zi, "I'm fine. I'm fine."
Ever since he had woken up yesterday, other than being a little unhappy that Ning Ya had forced him to become her disciple, everything else was fine.
"I heard on the way here that you've already been accepted as Teacher Ning's direct disciple."
Lü Zi saw that Qinchuan's body was fine and smiled, "My grandfather once told me that Teacher Ning is a very powerful person."
Qinchuan was a little speechless, "Is she very powerful?
I don't think so. "
"You don't know how lucky you are. Do you know how many people have wanted to become Teacher Ning's disciple, but they were all rejected by her?
You are the only disciple she has accepted. "
The only one?
Qinchuan was stunned for a moment. Didn't she say that there was also an unlucky senior who had died?
However, after thinking about it, Qinchuan understood that the so-called unlucky senior who had died from studying was probably something that Ning Ya had made up to deceive him. He had been deceived by Ning Ya once again!
"I'm still too naive."
Qinchuan sighed. Compared to a demoness like Ning Ya, his little bit of ability was clearly not enough.
"Hurry up and get up. We only have one day to familiarize ourselves with the environment. Tomorrow, we will officially enter the academy."
Lü Zi urged Qinchuan to get up. Although her grandfather was one of the academy's instructors, this was her first time in the Blackmoon Combat Academy, so she was very curious about everything here.
Today, she and Qinchuan would take a good look around the academy.
…
The Azure Ancient City had a history of ten thousand years since its establishment. The exact time could no longer be verified. Although the Azure Ancient City had been renovated several times, it still maintained the appearance of ten thousand years ago to a large extent. Everywhere was filled with an ancient and desolate aura.
In the beginning, the Black Moon Combat Academy was a rather famous Talisman Array Master organization in the Azure Ancient City. After a thousand years of development, it evolved into the Black Moon Combat Academy and became a university that specialized in cultivating Talisman Array Masters in the Azure Ancient City.
After that, the fame of the Black Moon Combat Academy gradually spread throughout the Federation. Countless geniuses of the Dao of Talisman Arrays came to study at the Black Moon Combat Academy. As time passed, more and more Talisman Array Masters were nurtured by the Black Moon Combat Academy, and their influence in the Federation grew. Today, the Black Moon Combat Academy was one of the Six Great Academies of the Federation and had become a paradise for Talisman Array Masters.
Gradually, no one mentioned the name of the Azure Ancient City anymore.
Now, the Azure Ancient City was the Blackmoon Combat Academy, and the Blackmoon Combat Academy was the Azure Ancient City.
"The Azure Ancient City is located in the center of the Blackmoon Mountain Range and is almost isolated from the rest of the world. It's normal for outsiders to not know about it."
Walking on the bluestone street, Qinchuan's eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at the ground beneath his feet. Ever since he was young, this was the first time he had seen a street that was purely made of bluestone.
"Fifty years ago, the Black Moon Combat Academy's reputation in the Federation could even surpass that of Star Dragon's Number One Academy. But now, the Black Moon Combat Academy is getting worse and worse." Lü Zi sighed and said to Qinchuan, "Do you know why?"
Qinchuan did not understand this, so he shook his head and asked, "Why?"
"In the past, the Black Moon Combat Academy had always taken the responsibility of nurturing array masters. No matter if it was a battle formation master or an auxiliary array master, the Black Moon Combat Academy would nurture them wholeheartedly. At that time, the Black Moon Combat Academy had about a thousand official students every year. But fifty years ago, the Black Moon Combat Academy suddenly changed its original teaching objective. It no longer nurtured auxiliary array masters, but instead focused on nurturing battle formation masters. This change surprised many people and caused many people to object to it. However, the dean and the many elders of the council used their absolute strength to suppress the voices of dissatisfaction and opposition, and started to implement the new policy.
"That year, more than ten thousand students applied for the Black Moon Combat Academy, but only sixty-two were accepted as official students.
Every year after that, fewer and fewer people were accepted as official students. Today, the total number of official students in the Black Moon Combat Academy is less than a hundred! "
Lü Zi faintly looked ahead and whispered, "Twenty years ago, the Black Moon Combat Academy gradually declined. In order to maintain the academy's popularity and continue to recruit talisman array geniuses, the dean and the council had no choice but to change their teaching strategy and begin to recruit audit students.
But even so, the Black Moon Combat Academy's situation did not improve much. Back then, I chose to give up on applying for the Black Moon Combat Academy because I could not see the academy's future. I also could not see my own future. "
After hearing Lü Zi speak so much, Qinchuan finally understood the Black Moon Combat Academy's current situation.
He was very curious as to why the Black Moon Combat Academy had suddenly changed their teaching policy fifty years ago and began to focus on nurturing battle formation masters. This change was a little too sudden.
"Even your grandfather doesn't know the inside story?"
"My grandfather is only an ordinary teacher. If there's anyone who knows the inside story, then it's definitely the dean and the elders in the council. But with your teacher's position in the academy, she might know some inside stories."
"Even if she knows the inside story, she might not tell me."
Qinchuan curled his lips and suddenly thought of something. He turned to Lü Zi and asked, "Did your grandfather ask you anything about us in the Cursed Lands?"
"No, my grandfather did not mention anything about the Cursed Lands at all."
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan with a subtle expression and said, "He didn't seem to be surprised that we could enter the Cursed Lands and come out."
Qinchuan was slightly stunned when he heard this. It seemed that Lü Zi's grandfather was not as ignorant as Lü Zi had said.
"That's right, do you plan on running for class monitor?"
Lü Zi suddenly smiled and said, "With your greedy behavior in the special training camp, I don't think you'll let go of the class monitor's benefits."
Qinchuan awkwardly coughed and said, "I just feel that the class monitor is such an important position. It's better to let someone with ability take it."
Lü Zi chuckled and lightly tapped Qinchuan's shoulder. She said, "Is it that hard to admit that you're greedy and lecherous?"
"Who said I'm lecherous?"
Qinchuan felt that he had been greatly wronged!
"Don't tell me you don't know?"
Lü Zi seemed to be surprised. "The greedy and lecherous Qin Xiaochuan's name has already spread among the freshmen."
Qinchuan was dumbfounded. Was this the reason why she had called him Xiaochuan this morning?
I've been wronged!
