Chapter 1168 Expansion
Upon hearing these words, everyone's eyes involuntarily began to dart around.
Since the number of people was fixed, what method could possibly break this limitation?
In an instant, everyone had an idea.
After all, Chen Yang had hinted at something like this quite some time ago.
However, before Chen Yang could speak, someone stood up, their gaze flicking towards Chen Yang, and said coldly, "Dean Chen Yang, I see everything you have done for the human race."
"Before meeting you, the situation of the human race in the Mortal Realm was far from good. Although we have offended the Demon Capital Mansion now, in my opinion, as long as we humans stand together and work in unison, we will definitely be able to secure an opportunity to survive in the Mortal Realm."
"I deeply respect you, Dean Chen Yang, but regarding certain matters, I still hope Dean Chen Yang will think carefully."
As these words were spoken, everyone's hearts began to pound.
The meaning behind this was quite direct.
They even wished not to hear any news about this matter from Chen Yang's mouth!
However, how could Chen Yang stop this matter simply because of someone's words?
Chen Yang smiled and clapped his hands.
"Clap!"
All eyes fell on Chen Yang. The words spoken were filled with no small amount of hostility. Did Chen Yang not understand the underlying meaning?
Why did he suddenly start clapping?
Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Yang spoke unhurriedly, "It seems everyone has already guessed what I am about to talk about?"
No one responded. Chen Yang held a high position in everyone's hearts. If it were any other matter, giving him some face would be entirely acceptable.
But this matter alone... was digging their own graves!
Just then, an aged voice reached everyone's ears.
"The human race has indeed suffered much grievance in the Mortal Realm over the years. I have experienced all of this. I personally witnessed the peak of the human race in those days."
"After the Sword Sect disappeared, I led several bloodlines to hide everywhere. It was only recently, when I was rescued by Dean Chen Yang in the Sea of Forgetfulness, that I could finally catch my breath."
"Therefore, no matter what decision Dean Chen Yang makes, I will support him unconditionally."
The speaker was not at the Core Formation realm.
Logically, they should not have been qualified to attend this meeting.
But the person held immense prestige among the remaining human bloodlines in the Mortal Realm, so no one questioned the legitimacy of their attendance.
This person was Miao Liuzhi, who had experienced the conflict of the Sword Sect.
Since Miao Liuzhi had crippled his own spiritual power, his body had weakened day by day.
Although he had begun cultivating again, he had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and his face was full of age.
However, no one would underestimate this old man.
Not only had he led the few clan members he had taken with him to survive, but he also helped other clans on a daily basis.
The other human races present had all received his help to varying degrees.
When Miao Liuzhi spoke, everyone fell silent.
If even Miao Liuzhi was willing to support Chen Yang, what more could they say?
Miao Liuzhi gave Chen Yang a reassuring look. Chen Yang nodded slowly and continued, "From today onwards, the academy in the Land of Hope will not only recruit humans but also allow people from various races in the Mortal Realm to come for exchanges and learning."
"For the time being, there will be no requirements for age or strength. Once the scale grows, specific rules will be established."
What Chen Yang wanted to do now was to connect the Land of Hope with other races!
Chaos was not frightening; it was in chaos that one could gain more.
Miao Liuzhi was the first to stand and applaud, followed by Qin Yunlan.
The other human races present exchanged glances, each with a look of bitterness.
After Chen Yang conveyed this matter, he had just left when he inadvertently noticed a few people at the Core Formation realm leaving together.
Miao Liuzhi approached Chen Yang and whispered, "Don't worry, they won't do anything detrimental to you."
Chen Yang gave a wry smile and said, "If that were the case, I wouldn't be worried."
As the academy's recruitment officially began, the entire Land of Hope was in an uproar.
The geniuses of various races in the Mortal Realm were naturally gathered by their respective clans.
But for many clan members without talent, their situation was likely not much better than that of the human race.
These people were not meant to oppress others; it was good enough if they could survive.
What Chen Yang wanted to do was to unite this power.
"Did you hear? Our Land of Hope's academy is recruiting beyond humans!"
"Really? Are you kidding me? This is the human race's trump card? Can they teach people from the Mortal Realm?"
"Look at what you're saying. What's wrong with people from the Mortal Realm? We haven't bullied anyone. For guys like us, who lack strength and talent, where can we go without being bullied? Even if we wanted to do business peacefully, wouldn't it only be in the Land of Hope?"
"No, I have to bring my child over. No matter how many spirit stones it costs, I want my child to go to the academy!"
In just over half an hour, the entrance to the academy's recruitment in the Land of Hope was already crowded with people.
Some came to inquire about the tuition fees, while others directly brought their children.
Xi Bai and Nan Zhu, who were responsible for recruitment, were stunned. No one had expected so many people to come.
"Are we two in charge of admissions?"
As soon as Nan Zhu finished speaking, Xi Bai behind him roared, "Chen Yang gave you too few spirit stones! Only a few!"
The two were hired by Chen Yang to test potential. This task was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment realm cultivator could do.
Xi Bai and Nan Zhu had considerable experience in recruitment work due to their previous handling of the War God Department's recruitment, which was why Chen Yang approached them.
Of course, Chen Yang also paid them accordingly.
But even Chen Yang hadn't expected so many people to sign up in such a short period.
He had thought this would take some time, or even until after the first batch of Mortal Realm students succeeded in their studies, to become this popular.
"No, I need to ask him for a raise tonight!"
Nan Zhu also gritted his teeth. While the consultation outside was not their responsibility, every person's talent had to be personally tested by them.
Until dusk, seeing the ever-lengthening queue, Nan Zhu could no longer hold back.
If this continued, the two of them wouldn't even have time to sleep, let alone eat.
"Quick, quick, tell them to stop letting people queue up!"
Just as Nan Zhu finished speaking, and thought they could rest for the day, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't stop. As long as there are people, this place will remain open."
