Chapter 28: Holy City_3

The originally bustling city had disappeared, replaced by rolling hills, lush vegetation, and wide roads flanked by crystal clear blue lakes, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. It was as if they had entered an idyllic paradise.

"From here on, it is the Temple Academy's Main College." Na Ye said.

Looking at the beautiful surroundings on both sides of the car window, Long Kongkong couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where's the academy? Are the classes held outdoors?"

"The Temple Academy covers a vast area, it will take a while to get there. The Academy spans twelve hundred hectares, divided into several areas. This part is a natural landscape area formed after the entrance, representing seclusion and peaceful cultivation."

"This is extravagant, too much so!" exclaimed Long Kongkong, but his eyes were filled with admiration.

Long Dangdang asked, "Teacher, is the Spirit Furnace Academy also inside the Temple Academy? Do they attend classes with ordinary Temple Academy students?"

"No."

"In a separate area."

Zi Tianwu and Hai Jifeng chime in almost simultaneously before looking at each other, sparks flying.

Na Ye couldn't help but feel smug as she watched them. No matter what, her Disciple was solely hers. Look at the two cockfighting over a Disciple, isn't that a disgrace?

After seven to eight minutes of driving, they finally saw the location of the Temple Academy's Main College.

"Is this a school or a city?" Long Kongkong said, looking dumbfounded.

Feeling annoyed, Na Ye said, "Stop acting like you've never seen the world before. Don't embarrass me."

The Temple Academy Main College was indeed stunning. The towering walls were about ten meters in height. Passing through the massive archway in the center of the wall, there was a vast square, extending over tens of thousands of square meters, with synonymous castle-like buildings. These buildings connected to form a character-like pattern, all were deep red-colored, simple yet majestic.

Na Ye explained, "This is the Temple Academy Main College. The elite Disciples from the 6 Great Sacred Temples all study here. Usually, the sixth-grade graduates from each branch academy come here to further their studies after passing examinations, for a 6-year course, with examinations every year. Only those who pass all the examinations are allowed to graduate. It can also be considered the cradle of top-genius students. And those who can enter the Spirit Furnace Academy are the best amongst the geniuses."

"The Spirit Furnace Academy only takes in sixty students each year, ten for each profession. So now you understand why even a 9th Rank professionist only has one recommendation exemption every five years. At Dangdang's age and cultivation level, he wouldn't stand out amongst the students in the Spirit Furnace Academy. As for you, if you don't pass the exams..."

The last sentence was clearly meant for Long Kongkong.

Long Kongkong rolled his eyes, "Teacher, you don't have to constantly provoke me. Relax, even if I go against it, I'll get through."

"Slap!"

"Ouch, you hit me again. If I'm dumbered because of these hits, I won't pass the examination."

They crossed through the Main College of the Temple Academy and left through a side gate on the other side. The carriage continued to move on, and after passing through a forest, a white building appeared in front of them.

Compared to the solemnity of the main Temple Academy, the buildings here looked more friendly. Adorned in white, they were outlined with light gold and blue. The buildings sit on a small island encircled by a lake. There was only one straight road leading to the island. Looking out the carriage window, the magnificent architecture had a somewhat surreal feeling to it.

Yes, they had arrived at the Spirit Furnace Academy!
