Chapter 86

Facing Si Jizhao's warning, almost everyone nodded heavily.

"By the way, Senior Brother Si, which division is this viper from?" Someone in the crowd immediately asked with concern.

"Such a treacherous person, do you think he could be from any division other than the Hellfire West Division!" Si Jizhao answered matter-of-factly.

"Another person from the Hellfire West Division!" Zhu Lubin felt that Lin Yiming and Ouyang Aoting were all looking at him, but this wasn't his fault.

Sensing the resentment in their gazes, Zhu Lubin quickly changed the subject, running to Si Jizhao's side with a fawning expression: "Senior Brother Si, I really have to thank you for telling us so much. In the future, please take good care of us in the academy."

As soon as his voice fell, a new student nearby looked at him with disdain, thinking he was a sycophant. He had been flattering people all the way, with no limits. He really wondered how such a person could enter the academy.

"Where, where." Si Jizhao's eyes swept past the booster pump and looked at Lin Yiming, raising his hand: "It's Yiming, in the future, when we meet in the academy, you all must hold back."

"Huh? Senior Brother, what do you mean? How can we be your match!" Zhu Lubin immediately flattered him.

"No, I don't mean when we fight each other, but the battles between the different divisions." Si Jizhao's serious expression showed he wasn't joking.

"Although we are all in the same academy, the five divisions often have conflicts. I have some influence and reputation in our Ironblood East Division, so I must participate in these battles. When the time comes, we might end up fighting each other. You should know, among the five divisions, the Hellfire West Division has the most large-scale divisional battles. In a year, the Hellfire West Division will initiate at least twenty battles."

"Only twenty times, that doesn't seem like a lot." Zhu Lubin was a bit puzzled, thinking it would be more than a hundred.

"Twenty times is not a lot?" Si Jizhao opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhu Lubin: "This is a battle between two divisions, not just a few or a dozen people. Twenty battles a year, on average, that's about two large-scale battles a month. You have to think, before the battle, you need to integrate your division first.

Your entire division is a bunch of crazy people who don't get along. Just to unify, you might need to fight for days. Last year, there were several times when just the internal integration of your division took more than a week. After you finally integrate, you need to rest and recover, which takes time.

Once you are all integrated and recovered, the battle begins. But the battle isn't over just like that. After the battle, everyone will be injured and need to recover, which takes more time. Back and forth, how much time does that take? Besides, don't you need to practice? You also need to train. Considering all this, do you still think twenty times is a small number?" Si Jizhao smiled at Zhu Lubin.

"Not small, not small, really not small." Zhu Lubin's large head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Twenty times is not a small number, but at its peak, your division can have over forty large-scale battles in a year. The people of the Hellfire West Division are all crazy." Si Jizhao seemed to recall the situation when he fought the Hellfire West Division, and his face showed a hint of lingering fear.

As they talked, they had already reached the foot of the mountain.

Just like when they first saw it from the outside, the mountain didn't look very big, but once they entered, they realized how vast it truly was!

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Yiming discovered that this place was a hidden paradise. They were not at the bottom of the mountain, but on the peak!

But they had just come down from the mountain, how could it be like this?

"Surprised, right? When I first saw this, I was just like you." Si Jizhao smiled and pointed below: "Below, everything you see is our academy. Actually, this is just an illusion to prevent too many outsiders from entering our academy and disturbing our practice."

Lin Yiming was already stunned by the world before him. He was standing on the mountain, but looking down, he couldn't see the end of the area below.

This place was so vast, it was terrifyingly large. The largest place he had been to, whether it was Shuiyao Gate or Maple Bridge Town, was much smaller compared to the Lihuo Academy.

Shuiyao Gate was just a sect occupying a mountain. But the Lihuo Academy had a mountain range larger than the mountain where Shuiyao Gate was located, and this mountain range was just a small part of the academy.

This place was more like a large city than an academy!

In the entire academy, besides a winding mountain range, there was also a mighty river flowing through it. Additionally, there were lakes, deserts, swamps, and dense forests.

The academy had various complex terrains, and it was clear that these natural features divided the academy into five parts: East, West, South, North, and Central.

It was evident that the five major divisions were divided based on these natural terrains.

The group, led by Si Jizhao and the many registered disciples, along with some ordinary staff members of the academy, continued walking.

As they walked, four or five men and women of about the same age as them approached. Despite their youthful energy, they walked together without any interaction, all silent.

As the group saw them, these men and women also noticed Si Jizhao and his group, and immediately ran over quickly.

"Senior Brother!" The men and women greeted Si Jizhao with respect.

The person in the middle, with a proud look, glanced at Lin Yiming and the others behind Si Jizhao, then looked at Si Jizhao respectfully: "Senior Brother, are you personally leading these people to report to the academy?"

Si Jizhao nodded slightly at their enthusiasm and looked at the mature and steady man in the middle: "Junior Brother Li, I have been in Lihuo City for the past few days and just returned to the academy today. The registration for the academy has been going on for some time. Have we recruited any outstanding individuals while I was away?"

"Indeed, there is an outstanding new student, and his story has spread throughout the five divisions. On his first day in the academy, he challenged the Martial Spirit Heart List and even made it to the top ten. And he is only sixteen years old." Junior Brother Li sighed, looking somewhat resentful: "This time, it really benefited the Free North Division. I don't understand why he was assigned to the Free North Division."

"Oh? He joined the Free North Division? They had good luck this time, but compared to our Ironblood East Division, they are still far behind." Si Jizhao laughed heartily, patted Junior Brother Li's shoulder, and pointed to Pan Wuheng with pride: "This person, Pan Wuheng, is only seventeen years old but is already a Body Dominance Realm expert!"

"What!"

Junior Brother Li and the others were shocked. This person was already a Body Dominance Realm expert before entering the academy! Among them, only Junior Brother Li himself was a Body Dominance Realm expert, and even in the entire academy, many senior students had been there for years and were still only at the Blood Soul Transformation and Iron Bone Transformation stages.

This person had already reached the Body Dominance Realm before entering the academy, clearly making him a world-class genius.

The Body Dominance Realm was a completely different level from the Blood Soul Transformation and Iron Bone Transformation, a true powerhouse!

For a moment, the gazes of Junior Brother Li and the others no longer held the initial disdain and superiority.

"Pan Wuheng has already confirmed that he will join our Ironblood East Division. You can consider this an early introduction to your junior brother." Si Jizhao's smile couldn't be hidden.

Although Lin Yiming was a master appraiser, in terms of martial arts cultivation, potential, and strength, Pan Wuheng was undoubtedly the most outstanding among them.

"Joining our Ironblood Academy!" Junior Brother Li and the others immediately showed surprise on their faces.

"These past few days, the Free North Division has been boasting about their new genius. Now, with the addition of Junior Brother Pan, we'll see how they can remain so carefree!"

"The gap between the Martial Spirit Heart and the Body Dominance Realm is enormous, and it's not something that can be bridged in a short year. It's clear who is more outstanding."

Junior Brother Li and the others decided to join Si Jizhao and the group, walking together.
