Chapter 958: Chapter 54: Rivers of Blood, the Monsters Trained by Liu Tianning!
The size of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree represents the foundation of a Holy Land.
Because its growth mainly absorbs the Dao Yun of the strong.
Just looking from afar, Zhao Xing is filled with many insights.
Now he sees only the images after the barrier restriction’s seal. Entering, ascending the Dao Tree for comprehension is the true benefit.
...
At the Wandao Plain, the onlookers had lessened.
Those who came to watch were mostly Fifth Grade Ministers of Agriculture and above.
No way around it, here at Shangluo Academy, Fifth Grade can be considered mid-level.
Unlike the other two factions, where from Sixth Grade, one is considered mid-level.
Upon arriving, Xu Xing rested for two hours.
Giving Liu Tianning and those opposing him the last time for communication.
Because both Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing’s true forms were present.
With the true form present, even for Second and First Grades, they could see Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing’s situation clearly.
Like Chu Qianqiu, taking one glance at Liu Tianning, would know he’s unbeatable.
Heavenly Fortune, Fate Palace, both could somewhat see the trajectories of future events, gaining a sense of the unseen.
It wasn’t some kind of mystical divination but a perception based on strength.
In the sky, the wind howled, intertwining and surging.
Clearly, a fierce exchange was taking place.
"We have withdrawn, Heavenly Bamboo Garden obeys Liu Tianning’s command."
"The Dao’s perception is intense, Liu Tianning’s strength is greater than imagined, unbeatable."
"Hmm, it shouldn’t be fought."
"What about Liu’s cultivation plan, how to decide?"
"He is too deeply entangled with the Ji Royal Family, violating the ancient teachings."
"Can be the dean, but his plan is hard to accept."
"Let’s see, look at the quality of his disciples."
"Sigh..."
Zhao Xing occasionally heard fragments from above.
But these had nothing to do with him, he just needed to fight.
An hour passed quickly.
Xu Xing held the staff like a cane, lightly pressing it, he flew into the sky.
He knew why so many people came today, and the others in Shangluo Academy were aware of these distinguished guests’ reasons for coming.
Xu Xing didn’t waste any words, pointing to the Ten Thousand Dao Tree behind him: "Today, I have three things to discuss with you all!"
Swish, swish, swish~
Everyone quieted down, even the sky was without a trace of wind, all eyes on Xu Xing.
The Ten Thousand Dao Tree swayed slightly, appearing to grow larger.
"The first matter." Xu Xing’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, "The former deputy dean of Shuangsheng Institute, Liu Tianning, is appointed as the first deputy dean of Shangluo Academy, acting as dean. Any objections?"
The world was so silent that a needle dropping could be heard.
It was as if collectively silenced by the Silence Technique, no one spoke.
"Any objections?"
"Any objections?"
Xu Xing asked three times, pausing after each for ten breaths.
After the last inquiry passed ten breaths.
Xu Xing shouted: "Where is Liu Tianning!"
"Here!"
Liu Tianning stepped on clouds, flying up to heaven, landing beside Xu Xing, slightly lower by half a meter.
"From today on, you are the first deputy dean of Shangluo Academy, acting as dean!"
Saying this, Xu Xing handed him the emerald green crystal-like staff horizontally.
"Yes, Tianning will not disappoint the expectations of the dean and the academy!" Liu Tianning responded respectfully, holding the Shangluo Jade Stick representing the power of Shangluo Academy in both hands.
There were no celestial phenomena, nor any shouts, everything happened so peacefully.
The transition of power began at this moment.
Aside from still bearing a nominal title, Xu Xing would not be involved in any affairs or decisions of Shangluo Academy thereafter.
Of course, that nominal title was still useful, the court would send a special enfeoffment, bringing some effects like extending lifespan and enhancing fortune.
Normally it would include some rewards and arrangements for a high-ranking official position for the dean of Shangluo Academy.
However, that’s for later.
At least internally in the academy, from this moment, Liu Tianning would be regarded as the de facto dean.
"Second deputy dean, Chu Qianqiu, given the position of dean of Military Envoy Academy!"
"Third deputy dean, Yu Xia, given the position of dean of Shuangsheng Institute!"
"Fourth deputy dean, Zhuang Daren, given the position of dean of Divine Wood Institute!"
"Fifth..."
Seven people flew skyward, standing at the same level as Liu Tianning.
Afterwards were certain deputy deans of the various institutes, Five Classics Doctors, and various departmental position shifts.
The number of people increased, the sky was already filled with over 500 people.
Among them, forty percent were in the Second Grade Realm!
The foundation of Shangluo Academy was revealed at this moment.
Because this was a transition between the old and the new, some older leaders would retreat behind the scenes, those from the same generation as Xu Xing.
However, they weren’t dead, still able to wield tremendous combat power, just that they wouldn’t live too long.
And some were unwilling to take charge of specific affairs, but if Shangluo Academy commanded, they would step forward.
So, even now the people in the sky were just part of Shangluo Academy’s foundation.
Even so, it was enough to astonish the distinguished guests attending the ceremony.
"Zhao Xing!" Xu Xing’s voice rang out again.
Buzz~ Zhao Xing soared up into the clouds.
"You are appointed as the Five Classics Doctor of Shuangsheng Institute, I hope you can showcase your talents in Shuangsheng Institute," Xu Xing hoped.
"Yes." Zhao Xing performed a respectful salute, being a Five Classics Doctor was already the highest position among Doctors of Governance, such individuals were not common in the entire Shuangsheng Institute.
Gu Changqing in Kunyuan Academy was merely a Five Classics Doctor.
Zhao Xing’s name was also the last name.
After announcing, Xu Xing let everyone descend.
Then he spoke again:
"The second matter!"
"Deputy Dean Liu Tianning proposed the ’Green Seed Law.’"
"This law will determine the future talent cultivation direction and resource allocation of Shangluo Academy."
"Any objections?"
Xu Xing asked only once, and someone stood up.
