Chapter 92: Recruiting Xu Feng

"Up ahead is the academy!" Because of Xu Feng, Zhao Bai's journey had been very safe. After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination!

Xu Feng fixed his gaze ahead, and in his eyes, a magnificent and grand school gate came into view. The school gate was in the shape of a circular fan, with golden characters, complementing its age, giving it a sense of noble and ancient restrained luxury.

"How about it? Not bad, right! As the empire's top academy, it has produced countless talents! Every year, countless seniors from the academy donate to build various structures. Although this academy is said to be under the management of Crane City, it is no less than a medium-sized city."

Xu Feng looked at the school gate, which resembled a city gate, and nodded, saying, "No wonder it's built so far from Crane City. If it were in the center of Crane City, it would create a city within a city."

"Crane City is a special city in the empire. On each of its four sides, there is a city. Apart from the academy to the east, there are three other outer cities. Including the huge main city at the center of Crane City, Crane City is already comparable to a small kingdom." Zhao Bai explained, "It's precisely because of Crane City's complexity that it is constantly in conflict. The empire has a headache over Crane City every year!"

Xu Feng smiled. He knew very little about this world and naturally didn't understand what Zhao Bai was saying. Xu Feng didn't think much about it and continued on to the academy with Zhao Bai.

In front of the school gate, which resembled a city gate, Zhao Bai took out the credentials to enter the academy. Xu Feng, who didn't have such credentials, looked at the guards at the gate and asked Zhao Bai, "You said I can enter as a Spirit Realm cultivator? Do I have to fight my way in?"

Zhao Bai almost fell to the ground. Xu Feng, a Spirit Realm cultivator, fighting his way in? He must be out of his mind. Although the academy is part of Crane City's eastern division, due to its special nature, even the main city's strong cultivators can't compare to the academy. Fighting one's way in is no different from seeking death!

"Prove your strength as a Spirit Realm cultivator, and they won't stop you. You just need to register." Zhao Bai explained.

As Zhao Bai spoke, he showed his credentials to the guard, who immediately let them pass. The guard's gaze turned to Xu Feng, who had nothing in his hands, and his eyes became more alert.

Xu Feng's aura burst forth from his body, pressing down on the guard. The terrifying aura made the Seventh Rank guard break out in cold sweat. Seeing Xu Feng, they quickly bowed and took a piece of paper from the side, "Master! Please register! You can enter!"

Xu Feng nodded, took the pen and paper, and quickly wrote down his information. When it came to the residence, Xu Feng asked Zhao Bai, who was waiting ahead, and then wrote down an inn.

After finishing, Xu Feng casually threw the pen and paper to the guard and walked forward with Zhao Bai.

However, this scene made the passersby stare at Xu Feng. Everyone knew that those who registered to enter the academy were all at the Spirit Realm level or above. Seeing Xu Feng, who was younger than them, everyone felt a great shock.

Similarly, some nobles began to have thoughts. Every Spirit Realm cultivator was a treasure. They didn't know who this young man was, but could they recruit him into their family?

Xu Feng walked through the academy, but the more he walked, the more he realized it was like a bustling city, with people flowing through it and shops everywhere, exuding the grandeur and noise of a city.

"Hehe! You don't need to be surprised. I already told you this is a division of Crane City! Our learning place is at the center of the city, where the real academy is. The inn I told you about is right next to the center. Let's go there first." Zhao Bai explained when he saw Xu Feng's surprise.

Xu Feng nodded, thinking that the influence of this academy was truly vast, capable of giving rise to a city.

"Right! Xu Feng, many people might come to find you!" Zhao Bai suddenly remembered something and said.

"Find me?" Xu Feng frowned and asked.

"The registration form you filled out will soon be seen by many nobles. Then, many noble children in the academy will come to recruit you. Be prepared." Zhao Bai said.

"Why?" Xu Feng was very puzzled.

"Nobles have their channels. Every time a Spirit Realm cultivator enters the academy, many of them will remember it. Regardless of whether they can recruit you, they will always try. So be prepared. This isn't just for you; any Spirit Realm cultivator who enters without a clear affiliation will receive this treatment. It's a characteristic of Crane City!" Zhao Bai explained.

Xu Feng nodded, shrugging indifferently, "If they're not afraid of being rejected, then let them come."

Zhao Bai smiled, already imagining the awkwardness of those nobles. Even with the conditions he and Zhou Yang offered, they couldn't recruit Xu Feng, so it was even less likely for them.

After a brief tour of the city, Xu Feng finally arrived at a location not far from the city center. Zhao Bai brought Xu Feng to the reserved inn and said, "This is my and Zhou Yang's base. We usually hang out here when we're not at the academy. There are a few rooms we've reserved, so you can stay in one of them. As for going to the academy, let's do it tomorrow."

Xu Feng nodded and didn't fuss over it. He directly took the room where Zhao Bai and the others usually stayed.

Of course, Xu Feng taking Zhou Yang's room was unknown to others. If those familiar with Zhou Yang and his group knew, they would be shocked. Zhou Yang and his group's rooms were usually not available to outsiders, even when they weren't staying there. Only the four of them could stay in them. However, Xu Feng was now staying in one, which was a shocking piece of news.

After arranging Xu Feng, Zhao Bai left the inn. For Zhao Bai, it was necessary to discuss the matter of being ambushed by An Yang with Zhou Yang.

Xu Feng didn't mind Zhao Bai's departure. He rested at the inn and took out the remaining materials to make more lightning summoning talismans. However, even if he made all of them, there were only five.

Just as Xu Feng was putting them away, there was a knock on the door. Xu Feng thought it was Zhao Bai returning. However, when he opened the door, he saw a stranger in fine clothing.

Xu Feng couldn't help but remember Zhao Bai's words, saying that noble children would come to recruit him, but this was too quick.

The finely dressed youth outside the door, seeing how young Xu Feng really was, was also slightly stunned. If it weren't for the confirmed information from his family, he would have thought his family was deceiving him. The youth finally understood why his father sent him to recruit Xu Feng. Given Xu Feng's age, he was indeed the most suitable person for him as a peer.

"Xu... Young Master! I am Huang Da from the Huang family. I heard that Young Master Xu has come to Crane City Academy, so I specially came to invite you to visit." Huang Da said with a smile.

"Sorry! I just arrived after a long journey and am quite tired. I want to rest." Xu Feng said indifferently.

"No problem! This is an invitation from my Huang family. If Young Master Xu has time, you can come anytime." Huang Da said with a grin, but he was very eager to recruit Xu Feng. A young man of his age reaching the Spirit Realm, regardless of his potential, just the fact that he was the same age as him made him ecstatic. With the same age, their temperaments and interests would likely be similar. When he acted recklessly, he could drag Xu Feng along, and with a Spirit Realm bodyguard, he wouldn't fear many people at his age. Unlike the old masters in his family, who had completely different interests and personalities.

Xu Feng naturally didn't know what the other person was thinking. Without interest, he directly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have time."

Xu Feng despised the other person, thinking that to recruit someone, one should at least bring a gift. Money and such were too vulgar, but at least something noble like beauty should be used to entice him.

Huang Da didn't give up. It was hard to find a Spirit Realm cultivator of the same age, and he couldn't bear to let go. However, no matter how he tried to entice Xu Feng, he couldn't get Xu Feng interested, which made Huang Da give up and leave.

After Huang Da left, several more nobles quickly came. Like Huang Da, they saw that Xu Feng was the same age as them and showed great interest in him. They began to use various methods to recruit him.

After rejecting them one by one, Xu Feng finally became impatient and simply opened the door, letting the nobles who came to recruit him into the room.

Xu Feng's rejection only made these nobles more eager to recruit him. Xu Feng's name quickly spread among the noble circles. A Spirit Realm cultivator of the same age as them, rejecting offers that would make ordinary people gasp, spread quickly.

Most importantly, these noble youths all had the same thought: recruiting Xu Feng meant they could outdo others and act recklessly. This made them even more interested in Xu Feng.

Xu Feng's fame skyrocketed because these noble youths wanted to act recklessly. After failing once, they came again and again. In the past, if they failed to recruit a Spirit Realm cultivator, they wouldn't try again. However, this time, the noble youths' persistence made Xu Feng's name spread even faster in the noble circles.

Finally, Xu Feng was fed up. Looking at the row of nobles standing before him, he took a deep breath and said to them, "I'm sorry, everyone! I'm going to sleep! Please don't disturb me. I said I'm not interested in joining your families for now. Of course, it's not entirely impossible."

"What method?" The nobles looked at Xu Feng excitedly.

"If you can get Xiao Yilin from the Xiao family to agree, I will naturally go." Xu Feng squinted his eyes and looked at the group of nobles.

"Xiao Yilin?" Some nobles frowned, not understanding what this had to do with Xiao Yilin.

"Because I am a servant of the Xiao family!" Xu Feng said indifferently.

One sentence caused a thousand waves. This young Spirit Realm cultivator was actually a servant of the Xiao family. How could he possibly be
