Zidong Academy is located in the Zichuan Mountains east of the imperial capital. It is also the largest academy in the imperial capital and even the entire Zidong Continent! Zidong Academy can be called a sect, but it can also be said not, because the purpose of the old dean founded it was to cultivate talents for the Zidong Empire. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Zidong Academy is the Royal College of the Zidong Empire, and recruits students from all over the world every year. Those students with excellent grades after graduation will naturally become pillars of the empire.

Zidong Academy not only cultivates excellent liberal arts versatile talents for the empire, but also naturally cultivates martial arts talents for the empire! This time the secret realm was opened, and Mo Shi, Song Yulian, Chen Mu and Xiahou Haotian entered the secret realm, mainly looking for young talents who may become the ninth disciple of the old dean.

For example, the young geniuses from major sects such as Ling Tian, ​​Zhongli, Jian Chi, etc., Mo Shi gave him jade tablets for admission.

Originally, they all thought that the old dean would conduct various assessments of these so-called geniuses, and then select one of them to become the ninth disciple.

But Mo Shi and the others left the secret realm, and the eldest brother Ke Yike appeared and summoned Jiang Chen to meet the old dean. Mo Shi and Song Yulian and the others understood that Jiang Chen would become their ninth junior brother.

At the outer school of Zidong College, which is the entrance gate of the ordinary teaching college, Ke Yige, with Mo Shi and Song Yulian, Chen Mu and Xiahou Haotian, and Jiang Chen, slowly landed in front of the entrance gate.

Originally, Jiang Chen believed that Zidong Academy, as the top sect in the entire Zidong Continent, must have a magnificent architecture, not inferior to the imperial palace in the imperial capital.

However, the gate of Zidong Academy in front of me was just the most ordinary, even worse than Xuandao Palace. Looking at the students of Zidong Academy wearing uniform clothes inside, it seemed like an ordinary teaching academy.

"Jiang Chen, I'll take you in and visit our academy."

Ke Yi's gentle smile gave people a kind feeling of intimacy, and Jiang Chen also sensed a powerful vitality from him! "This is the ordinary teaching academy of our Zidong College. Well, there is a teaching building over there..." Ke Yi'er brought Jiang Chen with him, Mo Shi and Song Yulian, Chen Mu and Xiahou Haotian followed him, and came into the academy and pointed to the surrounding buildings to explain to Jiang Chen.

When they met the students coming and going, they would all bow and bow together, "Mr. Ke, Mr. Mo..." Ke and Mo Shi lowered their heads slightly to these students, and then continued to take Jiang Chen to the academy... "Who is that person? How could Mr. Ke and Mr. Mo bring him in in person?"

"I don't know, it looks very illusory..." Many students around pointed at Jiang Chen who was following Ke Yike and Mo Shi and others, pointed and started to discuss.

For a time, this incident spread outside the college, and many students were curious about who Jiang Chen was... "Jiang Chen, when you go in again, you will be the monastery of our college."

Ke Yike and Mo Shi and others took Jiang Chen to visit the ordinary college of the outer gate. They pointed to the Zichuan Mountains. From a distance, they could only see a few buildings with eaves and monasteries, which were naturally a college dedicated to cultivating monks.

Ke Yike and Mo Shi, Song Yulian, Chen Mu, Xiahou Haotian and others took Jiang Chen slowly to a path in the monastery. Jiang Chen could sense the scenery he encountered on the road, but Jiang Chen could sense that the entire Zichuan Mountains were a huge formation, and there were also many secret spaces, which surprised Jiang Chen.

Such a big deal is worthy of being Zidong Academy.

If there are thousands of students in ordinary academy below, and there are only a few hundred monks in the monastery, and if they can enter Zidong Academy, they are basically the best geniuses in all sects.

Geniuses gathered, and they were all proud of entering Zidong Academy. Once they succeeded in practicing Taoism, they would serve the Zidong Empire, and even become generals, expand their territory for the empire, resist foreign enemies, and achieve supreme glory.

Therefore, the students in the monastery seemed particularly quiet. Even Ke Yike brought Jiang Chen and the others in. Except for a few teachers and students, the rest of the students were basically practicing in their caves.

Some students have been in seclusion for decades, or even hundreds of years, which is normal.

Because the life of the monks is long, time has no concept of them.

?? "It seems that they are all practicing in seclusion."

Seeing that the students in the monastery were not there, Ke Yike turned his head and smiled at Jiang Chen, "Then I will take you to see the teacher."

Jiang Chen nodded without any waves, then followed Ke Yike and Mo Shi, Song Yulian, Chen Mu and Xiahou Haotian headed towards the highest mountain in the Zichuan Mountains, and several buildings were faintly seen above, which were the old dean of Zidong College living.

As Ke Yike took Jiang Chen up the mountain and passed by a magnificent building, Chen Mu said: "This is the residence of Junior Eighth Brother."

Xiahou Haotian nodded slightly to Jiang Chen, knowing that he would soon become his ninth junior brother.

The group continued up the mountain and passed by a bamboo forest. They saw a very simple bamboo house built in the bamboo forest. At the same time, in the yard outside, they saw a man in a green robe and long black hair, who was with several white-haired old men. They all looked respectful and were playing chess with the man who seemed to be in his thirties.

"This is the seventh junior brother Fan Qi, he is the chess saint of our entire Zidong Continent!"

Chen Mu immediately pointed to Fan Qi who was playing chess inside and said to Jiang Chen.

"I lost."

An old man who was playing chess with Fan Qi sighed, then stood up and saluted Fan Qi respectfully, and turned around and left.

Fan Qi put down the chess piece and looked up at Ke Yige and others standing at the gate of the fence in the yard. He stood up and greeted him, bowing and bowing: "Senior Brother Ke, Senior Brother Mo, Senior Sister Song, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Xiahou..." Ke Yige smiled and waved his hand, saying, "They are here to play chess with you again."

Fan Qi looked back at the two old men left in the yard, smiled and nodded, "Let's talk."

The two old men also hurriedly bowed to Ke Yike and the others, knowing that they were the personal disciples of the old dean.

"This is our ninth junior brother!"

Fan Qi looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Junior Brother Ninth, do you know how to play chess?"

This question was a bit sudden. Ke Yike and Mo Shi, Song Yulian, Chen Mu, Xiahou Haotian and others all fell on Jiang Chen, and their eyes were all strange.

Jiang Chen nodded, "I understand a little bit."

Suddenly, Fan Qi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "That's great, Junior Brother Ninth, can you talk to me?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, but he couldn't help but speak, and the enthusiastic Fan Qi grabbed his arm and pulled it into the yard, heading towards the chess table in the bamboo pavilion. This time, Ke Yike and Mo Shi showed a helpless expression on their faces.

Because Fan Qi was obsessed with chess skills and was called the Chess Saint, he was accepted by the old dean. He usually played chess and played chess. No matter who he was talking to, the topics he talked about were all about chess skills, so Ke Yike and Mo Shi were no longer surprised.

"Junior Brother Lai Jiu, you choose the chess piece first."

Fan Qi took Jiang Chen and sat up. With a wave of his hand, the black and white chess pieces in the previous game disappeared instantly, and they all entered the two chess boxes. Jiang Chen pointed at the black chess and said, "Black."

"Yeah, it's very particular."

Fan Qi was surprised that Jiang Chen would choose black chess, and put the black chess box in front of him, and smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ninth, please ask first."

Jiang Chen nodded, and he was not polite. He picked up a black chess piece from the chess box and looked at the chessboard. Finally, he chose to land on the upper left corner of the chessboard, which surprised Fan Qi slightly. He looked up at Jiang Chen with a plain expression. He didn't expect that he would choose this position as the starting point. This was something Fan Qi had never seen before. Someone would start the chess in this position.

"It's interesting."

Fan Qilu smiled and thought to herself that this junior brother Ninth is either a master of chess skills or just pretending to understand if he doesn't know...
