Chapter 246 Tianding Xingkong Academy! (Seeking monthly tickets!)

Jing Shaoyu and seven others walked out of Tiandou Academy with Li Zhi's farewell.

They had no plans to stay in Tiandou City. After leaving Tiandou Academy, they found a restaurant to replenish their energy and prepared to set off for the next city.

"Squad leader, are we going to challenge the second academy this afternoon?" Mo Hentian asked on the way to Tiandou City train station.

"Time is not that tight," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile, "We will arrive at the next city in the afternoon, rest for a night, and then challenge the second academy tomorrow."

"Then," Mo Hentian heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said hesitantly, "Then can we leave Tiandou City at night and go to the next city?"

"Do you have anything else to do in Tiandou City?" Jing Shaoyu said with a surprised expression.

The others also looked at Mo Hentian, their eyes full of curiosity. It seemed that there was something really important that could make Mo Hentian, a blockhead, take the initiative to ask for something.

Mo Hentian was a little uncomfortable with the stares from the crowd. His face turned slightly red and he said, "In the afternoon, Master Zhenhua will give a lecture at the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association. I want to go and listen."

"Master Craftsman Zhenhua!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Jing Shaoyu nodded and said, "Of course, this is a good thing. After all, it's hard to find a master craftsman to teach you! I have no objection, what about you?"

"I have no objection." Gu Yue and Na'er said in unison.

"The master craftsman's teachings should be able to improve Xiao Mo's forging skills. This is a good thing for us. I support him." Wu Siduo said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I have no objection either. Hehe, it gives me some time to stroll around Tiandou City." Xu Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"Okay." Ye Xinglan just said two short words.

"Thank you everyone." Seeing this, Mo Hentian immediately looked at everyone with gratitude, feeling warm in his heart, and said.

"Okay, then let's go to Tianyun City in the evening." Jing Shaoyu made the final decision and looked at Shen Yi who was following them, and said, "Teacher Shen, we need to change the itinerary. What do you say?"

"You make your own decisions. You don't need to care about me." Shen Yi said with a smile.

So, Jing Shaoyu and his party accompanied Mo Hentian to the Tiandou City Forging Association. Mo Hentian went to attend Zhenhua's lecture, while Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan and Shen Yi rested in the lounge provided by the Forging Association. Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo took Jing Shaoyu to Tiandou City for sightseeing. They decided to meet at the Tiandou City Soul Guide Train Station in the evening.

Time passed quickly, the lights came on, the night faded, and Jing Shaoyu and his seven companions successfully boarded the train from Tiandou City to Tianyun City, continuing their journey for the final exam.

In a blink of an eye, the time for the final exam has passed halfway. Jing Shaoyu and his party have arrived at a city called Tianding City. This is an emerging city with a history of less than three thousand years, but it has developed rapidly due to its special geographical location. It is a transportation hub city for Mingdu and Tiandou City, and is almost two thousand kilometers away from Mingdu. It is the eighth city that the class committee team has arrived at in this assessment, and the Tianding Starry Sky Academy located in the southwest corner of Tianding City will be the sixth advanced soul master academy they will challenge.

Tianding Xingkong Academy is a soul master academy with a military background. Its admission rules are relatively strict and it only recruits soul masters with flying spirits. The history of this academy is the same as that of Tianding City. It was established not long after Tianding City appeared, and it is only more than 2,000 years old.

At the beginning, this was an academy dedicated to training flying soul masters for the federal army. Later, with the rapid development of soul guide technology and mechas, this academy was no longer focused on the training of flying soul masters, but expanded to the training of mecha masters, and transformed from a military academy to an ordinary academy.

However, even so, this academy still has considerable influence within the federal military and is the alma mater of many grassroots officers.

If all the soul master academies on the continent were divided into first-tier and second-tier academies like cities, then Shrek Academy would naturally be the only super first-tier academy. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Tiandou Academy would be first-tier academies, and Tianding Soul Master Academy would undoubtedly be the top-notch among the second-tier academies. At the very least, the East China Sea Academy in Jing Shaoyu's hometown could not catch up with it.

At this time, Jing Shaoyu and his group came to the main gate of Tianding Xingkong Academy. A tall and burly middle-aged man with gray hair was standing in front of the gate. Surrounded by students wearing Tianding Academy uniforms, they looked at him with awe and curiosity. When the middle-aged man saw Jing Shaoyu and his group, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet them and shouted, "Are you the juniors from Shrek Academy? I am the Dean of Tianding Xingkong Academy, Li Zhilong."

"Hello, Senior Li!" Jing Shaoyu smiled and said as soon as he saw the middle-aged man, "I am the first-year class monitor, Jing Shaoyu."

"So you are my junior fellow student Jing Shaoyu. You are indeed a very talented person!" Li Zhilong said with a smile, "Please follow me, everyone. I have already made arrangements and am waiting for your arrival."

"Thank you for your help, senior." Jing Shaoyu said with a smile and followed Li Zhilong into Tiandingxingkong Academy.

Because the colleges that Jing Shaoyu and his team had challenged during this period were all colleges with Shrek graduates, the news of their team and the Shrek Academy's first-year final exams had already spread among the Shrek graduates. Therefore, in the past three challenge matches, Jing Shaoyu had just stated his intentions and received a warm reception from the seniors, just like Li Zhilong's performance just now.

In fact, it is a win-win situation for Jing Shaoyu and his seven companions to exchange and compete with the students of these academies. Jing Shaoyu's team can complete the final examination, the Shrek graduates can improve their status and influence, and these academies can gain fame.

Tianding Xingkong Academy covers a large area. Although it cannot be compared with Shrek Academy, among the academies that Jing Shaoyu and his party have challenged, only Tiandou Academy can surpass it in terms of area. The environment inside the academy is also quite elegant, with many stone sculptures placed on both sides of the road, most of which are related to the sky.

"My fellow students, this should be your first time to visit Tianding City, right?" Li Zhilong introduced to Jing Shaoyu and the others with a smile, "Although our Tianding City has a short history, its future is definitely bright. Among all the cities in the Federation, our Tianding City is definitely the one that attaches the most importance to the exploration of the sky and the sea of ​​stars. We believe that the future of the human race must be in the vast sea of ​​stars!"

"I see." Jing Shaoyu said, "This is also the reason why your academy is called Starry Sky Academy."

"Yes." Li Zhilong said with a little pride, "In our academy, flying is the most basic requirement. One of our daily teaching contents is to look up at the starry sky and absorb the power of the stars."

Hearing Li Zhilong's words, Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan, who were walking behind, couldn't help but look at each other. They saw smiles in each other's eyes. This Tiandingxingkong Academy is really interesting.

Perhaps to make it convenient to look up at the stars, the teaching building of Tianding Starry Sky Academy is very spectacular, nearly 100 meters high. From the outside, you can't tell how many floors it has inside. All you know is that its top is a huge hemisphere, a dome-style building.

"Everyone, this is our teaching building. Our students are ready." Li Zhilong led Jing Shaoyu and his group into the 100-meter-high teaching building and said, "Do you need to rest? Or can we start right away?"

"Senior, let's get started." Jing Shaoyu said with a smile, "We all came here after having a good rest."

"Okay then." Li Zhilong glanced at Jing Shaoyu, then smiled and said, "You guys follow me."

Next, Li Zhilong led a few people to climb the stairs. There was no elevator installed in such a hundred-meter-high teaching building, only a spiral staircase. In Li Zhilong's words, this was so that students could exercise anytime and anywhere.

This explanation made Jing Shaoyu and the others speechless. Could this hardcore training method really not be learned from Shrek Academy?

That is to say, soul masters have physical fitness that is different from that of ordinary people. Otherwise, just climbing these nearly ten thousand steps would probably make people exhausted. How could they have the energy to go to class?
They walked up the stairs to the top floor, and then walked through a long corridor before entering a hall. This hall was an open-air hall without a dome. Standing here, one could see the sky very clearly, as if one could embrace the clouds with just a stretch of the hand or a tiptoe.

"This is the observatory of our Tianding Xingkong Academy, and it is also the most important practical training ground of the academy. Its diameter is 300 meters, and most importantly, its height is unlimited!" Li Zhilong introduced excitedly, "Here, our students can have the most intimate contact with the sky, and it can also help them to comprehend the true meaning of flying spirit masters as quickly as possible!"

"It's really magnificent!" Jing Shaoyu exclaimed, "This place must be very beautiful at night. The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands. I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven!"

"Junior, you understand a lot!" Li Zhilong said with his eyes lighting up.
