Chapter 33: Zhenwu Academy

  Shinmu Academy

  At dawn, the two of them woke up from their cultivation, exchanged a glance, and found that each other's strength had slightly improved. They couldn't help but smile lightly. Feng Ao Xue took the initiative to grab Zhou Yuan's hand and headed north towards Fawang City, which was about to arrive.

  At last, after half a day's journey, they saw in the far distance to the north a gigantic city, this city was much more magnificent than all the cities Zhou Yuan had ever seen.

  Majestic, vast and solemn, this was Zhou Yuan's first impression of the Law King City.

  "This is indeed the imperial city of the Great Dahan Empire, Fahwang City, it's truly magnificent!!" Zhou Yuan said with utmost shock.

  Feng Ao Xue laughed and said, "Not bad, when I first saw it with my own eyes, my expression was also as shocked as yours. Even so, now that I look at it again, I'm still just as shocked!!"

  Zhou Yuan smiled wryly and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have been cultivating in the Zhou family without going out. How could I have seen such a magnificent city!! This time, I really gained some experience!"

  The two suppressed the shock in their hearts and continued to walk towards the City of Law, soon arriving before the city. After a strict inspection, they finally entered the City of Law.

  After entering, Zhou Yuan was shocked again. The outside of the Imperial City looked magnificent, but after entering, it still amazed people. The streets inside were numerous and not messy, all open and spacious, crisscrossing each other, yet not showing any signs of disorder. On the streets, vehicles and horses flowed like water, in an orderly manner, revealing that the Great Dry Country's governance of the Imperial City was well-regulated.

  "Move... Get out of the way!!" A noisy voice suddenly came from a short distance away.

  Zhou Yuan and Feng Ao Xue immediately looked up to see a man wearing silver-white armor, riding a crimson war horse, galloping wildly on the main street, knocking over many fruit and grocery vendors, causing them to fall over, and many passersby were also seriously injured after being trampled.

  "What a presumptuous person! I really don't know what kind of person this is, to be so arrogant and lawless in the imperial city. Doesn't he have any regard for the law at all?" Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

  By the side happened to have a road passing by, hearing Zhou Yuan say this, immediately sneered and said, "You're not from Fawang City, right? You don't even recognize people from Luowang Fu?"

  Zhou Yuan didn't understand, "Lu Wang Fu? I came to Fa Wang City for the first time today and really don't know what Lu Wang Fu is. Please enlighten me, brother!!"

  A passerby said, "Since you've come to this Law King City, you should know the distribution of power here. Otherwise, you'll offend someone you shouldn't have offended and die without even knowing how!!"

  Zhou Yuan's attentive expression made the pedestrian feel very pleased, and he continued, "The greatest power in Fawang City can be summed up in one sentence: One room, two courts, three royal mansions!"

  "One room naturally refers to the Daqian Imperial Palace, which is also the strongest power in the entire Daqian Empire. The two institutes refer to the two universities, Zhenwu University and Fawang University. The three royal mansions are Luowang Mansion, Chenwang Mansion, and Bingwang Mansion. Not counting the imperial palace's power, these two universities and three royal mansions are the five strongest forces in Fawang City. Of course, the power of the two universities must surpass that of the three royal mansions."

  Zhou Yuan nodded, "Thanks for the advice, brother! You can take this silver and use it first!!"

  The bystander was overjoyed when Zhou Yuan took out ten taels of silver and repeatedly bowed his head in gratitude.

  Zhou Yuan inquired about some matters related to applying to the two colleges and then bid farewell to this passerby.

  "Zhou Yuan, it seems that we need to keep a low profile in Fawang City. The powers here are complex and not something we can afford to provoke. At the very least, our current strength is far from enough. Once we're targeted, we'll be in danger!" Feng Ao Xue said with some concern.

  "Not bad, maybe the magical boundary in Tianyuan City is very powerful, but in the Imperial City, it's really ordinary. Just that arrogant Luo Wangfu person, I'm afraid they're not just at the Yuanyuan boundary cultivation level, but may have already reached the Shizheng boundary cultivation level. But such a master can only be an ordinary servant of the Luo Wangfu, which can imagine how many masters the entire Luo family has and how strong their overall strength is. Moreover, the two academies' strength surpasses that of the three major royal families, let alone the even more powerful imperial family?"

  Feng Ao Xue said, "That's right, it's exactly like that, and there's more to it. These are the most powerful forces in Fawang City. Just now, I heard a passerby say that there seem to be other powers within Fawang City, including religious powers. The Haoran Holy Sect, the largest sect in the Great Dry Country, also has an extremely large influence here. In addition, some other major and minor religions have their own spheres of influence here!!"

  "A royal city, yet it hides such a vast array of powers, truly turbulent undercurrents. We must be cautious here, or else we'll easily fall into danger."

  Two people chatted while walking west towards the city of Fawang, and from what that passerby just said, there are only two ways to quickly gain a foothold in Fawang City.

  One is to enter the Imperial Academy as a student, and the other is to go to one of the three major royal palaces as a guard.

  However, in the academy, one can be relatively freer and have a slightly higher status. In contrast, the guards of the three major palaces had to do some miscellaneous tasks when they first started, with a lower status, and also had to frequently carry out tasks, with a low degree of freedom.

  Like that royal guard of Luofu who just rushed past, he seemed to be on a mission to carry out something.

  However, although the college is good, the conditions for entering are a bit higher. Generally, you need to reach the peak of physical cultivation and form a refined aura like the sun and moon rising from the sea before you can enter.

  The three major palaces are a bit lower, as long as they can enter the realm of inspiration, they can enter.

  However, with Zhou Yuan and Feng Xiao's current strength, entering the academy is not a difficult task. Under Zhou Yuan's guidance, Feng Xiao has already reached the peak of the Flesh Realm, with his spiritual energy resembling the ebb and flow of the tides, only one step away from breaking free from the shackles of the flesh and reaching the Magical Realm.

  Zhou Yuan doesn't need to be mentioned, he has already thoroughly stabilized in the Gathering Yuan Realm. As time passes, his yuan power will become even more majestic and condensed, mastering spells and reaching the realm of spellcasting is only a matter of time.

  The two of them walked along the street, admiring the prosperity of Fawang City while asking for directions, and soon arrived at their destination - Zhenwu Academy.

  Zhenwu Academy stood like a huge palace. It occupied a vast area, stretching for tens of miles, surrounded by walls on all sides, with countless large and small buildings inside. At the main entrance, several dozen-meter-high carvings stood quietly.

  These statues are all dressed in powerful armor, holding precious swords and long knives, standing with their feet on the ground and pointing to the sky, giving people a sense of invincibility under the heavens, sacred and inviolable.

  Zhou Yuan took a closer look and found that there were eight statues here, arranged in two rows in front of the main gate of Zhenwu Academy, forming a path leading to Zhenwu Academy.

  Wow!!

  In the sky, a figure suddenly descended, unexpectedly at the fifth level of the Magic Boundary, the Lingkong Virtual Degree. After arriving at the Zhenwu Academy, he no longer flew and walked through the eight statue-formed passageway to the main gate of the Zhenwu Academy.

  Those who come from the void and walk on the ground are showing respect to the Zhen Wu Academy, which is also a rule of the Zhen Wu Academy. No one dares to break it.

  Zhou Yuan noticed once again that the entrance of Zhenwu Academy was bustling with people coming and going. The place was filled with experts, and just in a short period of time, Zhou Yuan saw dozens of Void Tunneling Realm cultivators who had arrived by stepping on air. As for those who were not as powerful as the Void Tunneling Realm, such as the Magic Technique Realm, Golden Core Realm, and Killing Life Realm, there were even more of them.

  And even more are the pinnacle of physical cultivation, like Feng Ao Xue and other young people who have come to seek fame and fortune, wanting to enter the Zhen Wu Academy.
