Chapter 198: Autumn Water

On the massive deck,

Shang Tianji, wearing brocade robes, heard this and also had a solemn expression.

Although he had made friends with Jiang Jian, he didn't feel that Jiang Jian's foundation was truly stronger than his own.

After all,

during the entrance assessment, the cultivation foundation evaluation of the top 10 freshmen was all 100 points, showing no difference.

But at this moment,

Shen Xi actually opened his mouth to praise Jiang Jian.

This made Shang Tianji's thoughts turn; he narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Jian again.

It wasn't just him.

Many arrogant geniuses were pupils-contracting at this moment, revealing shock.

"Thank you, gatekeeper."

Jiang Jian returned a polite smile.

Shen Xi nodded and said: "You are the 1st place in the assessment; official position allocation starts with you."

As he spoke,

the massive warship descended.

In just a few seconds, it stopped beneath the crystal giant palace.

Here, it was the main palace of Li Hai Dragon Palace!

It was majestic and towering, a thousand zhang high!

Icy crystal steps stretched upward, reaching the feet of two hundred-zhang giant doors.

As the strange realm lost its characteristics, the guide messenger had already died, transforming back into the Dragon Palace's rules.

The current Li Hai Dragon Palace, although retaining some rules, was no longer a strange realm.

Instead, it was a building existing in reality and was also a part of Li Hai.

Around the icy crystal steps, many turtle-snake sea demons and shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood there.

More than a dozen humans walked down the steps, full of confusion, looking toward the warship.

"Li Hai Zhen Gong has seven palaces, nineteen halls, and three hundred and sixty pavilions."

Shen Xi said, "Jiang Jian, step forward to receive your title."

He held the world origin seal in his left hand and a dragon seal in his right!

This dragon seal was exactly what the guide messenger had transformed into after death.

Holding this object, one could change the Dragon Palace's rules!

Jiang Jian walked off the warship and said: "Present."

Shen Xi's gaze was calm; spiritual energy surged in his right hand, directly activating the dragon seal!

A clear dragon roar spread across Li Hai!

Countless creatures in the sea area felt their hearts tremble and bowed respectfully!

"With the Li Hai Dragon Seal, I appoint you as the head of the seven palaces!"

"Autumn Water Palace, Palace Master of the Seal!"

"Commanding ten great demon generals and three hundred water soldiers!"

The dragon seal manifested a phantom form, light shining brightly!

It split into a stream of light, transforming into a treasure seal, casting down streaks of light that circled Jiang Jian once.

Finally, it hovered before Jiang Jian, trembling lightly.

Jiang Jian stepped forward and took the Palace Master treasure seal into his hand.

As soon as the treasure seal was in his hand, it dissipated instantly.

It transformed into Autumn Water patterns, drawn into his palm, and hid away.

At the same time,

Jiang Jian clearly sensed

that deep within the Li Hai Dragon Palace, a palace had already established a connection with him!

Head of the seven palaces, Autumn Water Palace!

Shen Xi continued: "2nd place, Wei Yang."

Wei Yang stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Gatekeeper."

Shen Xi glanced at him, nodded, and said: "With the Li Hai Dragon Seal, I appoint you as the second of the seven palaces!"

"Winter Storage Palace, Palace Master of the Seal!"

"Commanding ten great demon generals and three hundred water soldiers!"

Boom!

The dragon seal shook, blooming with fierce light again!

Shen Xi continued to distribute official positions based on assessment results.

All 202 Earth-Moon Academy freshmen had their own places.

Wei Yang, Winter Storage Palace Master.

Shang Tianji, Ming Chan Palace Master.

Xu Zhaolu, Spring Dawn Palace Master.

Among the seven palace masters with the highest status, except for Jiang Jian, the other six were all 5-level talents from Tier Jiangcheng!

Qin Yingying was assigned to the fifty-third pavilion.

Li Zhao was assigned to the seventy-sixth pavilion.

The distribution was completed.

All 202 freshmen had their own treasure seals.

Shen Xi held the dragon seal and threw it toward the main hall of the Dragon Palace.

The treasure seal twisted and changed, condensing a dragon phantom in mid-air, roaring as it merged into the main hall of the Dragon Palace and dissipated.

"According to academy regulations, for the next year, you must cultivate here."

Shen Xi said calmly, "After one year, the academy will no longer have restrictions, and you can leave the Dragon Palace to find your own way."

"But my suggestion to you is to stay here."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the warship, "Li Hai Dragon Palace is, after all, transformed from a strange realm; some of the resources within even make me feel tempted."

"After the Dragon Palace lands, a new set of rules will be born."

"You can explore them yourselves."

"If you are about to break through to the Divine Palace, go to the Saint Mountain to find me; after review, you can apply to leave the academy world."

The warship rose into the air, Shen Xi standing at the edge of the deck with his hands behind his back.

In just a few seconds,

the warship soared into the sky, tore through the horizon, and left everyone's sight.

Those dozen or so Li Hai humans had originally been watching from afar.

But hearing about the distribution of Dragon Palace resources, they were all filled with resentment, but because Shen Xi was there, they didn't dare to make any moves.

After Shen Xi left,

these dozen or so people all surged over.

"Where did you come from? How dare you rob our Li Hai's blessed land!"

Someone stepped forward, his eyes red.

Behind him, another person with sharp eyes grabbed his sleeve and whispered: "They are all Saint Selections!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the dozen or so local creatures stopped in their tracks, stunned in place.

"Let's attack together and kill them all."

Wei Yang stood in front, his gaze icy.

When the official positions were distributed just now, the seven palaces were ranked first.

Beside Wei Yang stood Jiang Jian, Shang Tianji, and other palace masters like Xu Zhaolu.

Xu Zhaolu spread her hands, looking indifferent: "I have no opinion."

Most of the other academy freshmen frowned, holding their treasure seals and carefully observing the Dragon Palace rules.

The Dragon Palace's new rules involved the allocation of spiritual resources and the promotion of official positions in the Dragon Palace, which were extremely complex.

Wei Yang sneered, flipped his palm, and a long halberd appeared!

"Wait a moment!"

A voice came from high in the firmament.

The mysterious black-robed youth had a pale face, descended through the air, and landed outside the light screen of Li Hai Dragon Palace.

Behind him followed more than a hundred local creatures, stepping on the water.

These local creatures landed, looked around, their faces full of longing and anticipation.

Their cultivation was all in the Spring Realm!

Wei Yang held his long halberd, frowned, and looked back.

The mysterious black-robed youth stood outside the light screen and said loudly: "With the special permission of the Saint Palace, Li Hai creatures can also be appointed to official positions!"

He raised his robe sleeve, and a broken dragon seal appeared!

Below the main hall, the academy freshmen talked to each other, their expressions different.

"This must have been left by Shen Xi specifically for him to distribute."

Qin Yingying sneered, "It seems these local creatures are going to occupy the remaining pavilions."

Li Zhao looked bright-eyed and said: "I don't think it matters; after all, they can't compete with us for official positions, so giving them some leftovers isn't a problem."

Qin Yingying glanced at him and said: "How do you know they can't compete with you?"

Li Zhao said: "Their resource preparation, talent arts, and God-Bestowed Weapons are all much worse than ours; what can they use to compete?"

"Not to mention anything else."

"Just talking about God-Bestowed Weapons."

"The seventy prefectures of the Earth surface have accumulated for hundreds of years to have so many God-Bestowed Weapons."

"In this academy world, who can use God-Bestowed Weapons?"

"Even if they have weapon talent and luckily get a God-Bestowed Weapon,"

"there is no Prayer Palace here!"

"Before they die, there is no place to hold a separation ceremony."

"Their own God-Bestowed Weapons cannot be transferred to others and will only turn into scrap iron after they die!"

Hearing this,

Qin Yingying disagreed and said: "My view is different from yours."

"These local creatures who can get the opportunity to cultivate have all gone through a cruel screening of one in ten thousand."

"Maybe one or two monsters will appear."

"Regardless, we must not be careless!"
