Chapter 212: The First Cohort of the Cultivation Academy

Conference room.

Zhang Jiangping and a group of senior officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau were already inside, watching the content on the projection screen, presumably having already discussed something.

When Yu Lin arrived, Zhang Jiangping quickly rose and said with a smile:

"General Yu, you're here."

"Hmm." Yu Lin nodded and asked:

"Director Zhang, what business do you have for me?"

"It's like this." Zhang Jiangping went to the computer, operated it briefly, and opened a video.

The video roughly explained that Xia Guo seemed to have identified the cause of the reduction of "Qi", and through the efforts of Ling Dongxuan and a few others of the Grand Void, they successfully raised the concentration of "Qi" considerably.

Although it still cannot be compared with the Han–Tang era, it is still decent; at the very least it increased by about thirty percent, and producing another Grand Void poses no problem.

Therefore, the national server's top priority is to establish a cultivation academy; the first cohort, including newly recruited members of the Civil Affairs Bureau, will secretly enroll 120 people and set up six classes.

They intend to ask Yu Lin to take the new Civil Affairs Bureau members over there, and also serve as honorary principal.

After watching the video.

Zhang Jiangping then asked, "General Yu, that's the situation, so what's your opinion?"

"I don't mind not going."

Yu Lin thought for a moment; after all, the next three months will be idle anyway, so going to take a look isn't bad, to find something to do.

He nodded and said, "Fine."

"I have no objection. When?"

Seeing his agreement, Zhang Jiangping immediately smiled, "In ten days."

"The academy still lacks some basic facilities that haven't been built yet."

"I'll personally inform you then."

"Hmm." Yu Lin nodded, then added, "Understood. Anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"Alright, goodbye."

"Take care."

Yu Lin left the conference room.

Inside, Zhang Jiangping watched his disappearing back and couldn't help but sigh:

"A year ago he was still a raw novice; a year later… unfathomable indeed."

"Indeed, the previous holder of the Miracle has already become the Lord of Heaven in Heaven, as expected."

He shook his head, didn't continue the thought, and turned to the others, saying:

"Regarding the recent rise of evil… quick strike, slow strike, steady strike…"

"Firmly seize, don't miss…"

"Safety first…"

Ten days later.

At the inaugural welcome ceremony of the first cohort of Xia Guo's first cultivation academy.

Yu Lin, as honorary principal, stepped onto the stage, and smiling at the crowd, said:

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Lin, your honorary principal."

"Now, regarding today's enrollment ceremony, I'll briefly mention three points."

"..."

He set down the microphone, turned, and sat down to the side.

He spread his hands at the puzzled gazes of others, indicating he had finished.

He said three points and stuck to three; he's a man of credibility.

In fact, Yu Lin himself didn't know what to say; after all, when he was a student he also despised such long-winded speeches, which made him drowsy, so he could only pull out his Little Notebook and recite the lesson material.

As for the real principal.

It was another Grand Void powerhouse named Huang Qing, who was a ruthless figure in his youth.

In Xia Guo he fought and defeated all peers without equal, and traveled the world seeking talented opponents, fighting from south to north, east to west, sweeping the world.

Later, due to a contest over a Heavenly Grant, he went alone to Europa and fought for three days and three nights.

He didn't blink an eye until no one dared to challenge him any longer, then he returned home with the Heavenly Grant.

Now aged, he cultivates his body and mind, his murderous aura has faded considerably, and with his smiling face he appears rather benevolent.

Seeing Yu Lin step down, he also rose to the podium, without a microphone, and laughed as he spoke:

"Thanks to Principal Yu for delivering such a vigorous, impassioned speech; surely the students have benefited greatly."

"Especially the first point; compared with the second, it aligns more with the third, though the core of the second is similar to the first, and the third…"

"In the future, definitely…"

Yu Lin: ".........."

After waiting more than ten minutes, Huang Qing finally finished speaking, and another person took the stage to continue.

Wait for him to come down.

Yu Lin said, "Mr. Huang, this reading comprehension—were you a language teacher before?"

Huang Qing shook his head, flashing a slightly mischievous smile:

"Back then I went through the same way, letting them also enjoy."

"Now it's my turn to speak; if I speak too fast, wouldn't my past suffering be in vain?"

"That saying—how it came about—once I was drenched, now I must throw away others' umbrellas!"

Hahaha.

Yu Lin: "........."

Mr. Huang's temperament.

They made a polite remark, then asked, "I heard you discovered why the Qi concentration has weakened; what is it?"

Huang Qing didn't hide anything; given Yu Lin's rank, if he wanted to know it wouldn't be difficult, so he said directly, "Nothing."

During the Ming dynasty, wasn't Liu Bowen ordered to cut the dragon vein?

The dragon vein isn't that easy to cut. He gathered Feng Shui masters, formation masters, and talisman masters, using Qi to temporarily seal it; sealing one spot reduces the Qi a bit.........

We gradually unsealed some, and the Qi concentration rose again.

That's how it is.

Yu Lin nodded: "So that's how it is."

Next..............

【Living a prosperous life, thriving, catching the good era............】

Before he finished speaking, a phone ringtone sounded from Huang Qing's pocket.

He took it out, pressed answer, and after listening to the caller, a hint of disdain appeared on his face:

"Let them come, then."

"The fellow I disciplined back then—where does his cheeky barking come from now?"

"Got it. In three months, I'll lead the expedition north myself!"

The call ended.

Seeing Yu Lin's curiosity, he explained:

"Over in Europa, they heard we established the first cultivation academy; they also set up a Joint Academy and want to spar with us."

"In three months they'll hold a competition exchange meeting, using three regional Heavenly Bestowed Artifacts as prizes for the winners."

"Will you go see it together then?"

Three months later, Yu Lin was already on a mission, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"I have something to do."

"But during this period, I can teach them some personal tricks I use."

Huang Qing, seeing his refusal, didn't press, and smiled, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"I heard you're still single?"

"I have a great‑granddaughter at home, just turned eighteen this year, and I've heard she's the school beauty............."
