The young man was very dirty. He slowly walked towards the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy and saw a huge stone erected at the entrance.
The stone was made with top-grade white marble. It was a hundred meters tall and was placed at the entrance of the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy. Everyone who entered and exited could see the huge rock at first glance.
There was a sentence carved onto the white jade.
“Those who offend my Northern Kingdom will be punished no matter how far they are!”
It was signed with the word ‘Li’!
Every word on it was taller than a person. After it was carved, it was even smeared on with a black ore powder, making the words appear even deeper. Even if they were far away, they could see this huge white jade at a glance.
This stone wall had already become a scenery in the Wilderness. It had become a landmark building in the Wilderness.
Although Li Yuanqing was already in his thirties, he still looked like an elegant young man because of his cultivation. Moreover, because of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and his realm, even if Li Yuanqing did not say anything,
Just by standing in the crowd, he could become the most dazzling person.
This was because as long as one was not blind, they would be convinced by his bearing. They saw this young man who was like a legitimate immortal in the crowd at a glance. Therefore, very soon, martial artists walked over to him and signaled that he could sign up for the Martial Arts Academy exam today.
Li Yuanqing shook his head gently and smiled, indicating that he was only here to take a look.
This made the martial artist feel a little regretful, but he quickly felt relieved. This was because he could not see through the strength of someone like Li Yuanqing. It made him believe that he might be a disciple of a large clan. He could also believe if one said that he was a general or the son of a noble clan.
However, he would not believe that this person is a prince because everyone in the Northern Kingdom knew that His Majesty only had two princes left, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince. Both of them had been crown princes before, but they were crippled in the end. The current crown princess was Princess Zhaoyang.
No one would have thought that the person with an unparalleled aura like a legitimate immortal was the former Crown Prince, Li Yuanqing.
“I got in, Father. I was chosen!”
A sudden shout of surprise jolted the crowd who were anxiously queuing. Then, they saw a dark-skinned youth jumping and crying with joy. At his happiest moment, he was pulled towards the boulder by a slightly hunchbacked old man.
The two youths who were still waiting in line to be chosen revealed extremely envious gazes. Meanwhile, the dark-skinned youth and his father knelt down under the huge rock in front of the tens of thousands of people in the Martial Arts Academy.
They kowtowed three times to the huge stone.
As for the envious onlookers, they did not find it strange. In any case, all the prospective martial artists who had been chosen would come here to kowtow to this huge rock. There were also people who knew that this sentence on the huge rock was said by the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom to Princess Zhaoyang and had asked her to establish the Martial Arts Academy. Therefore, the children of ordinary people have the chance to become martial artists in a single bound and be respected.
These people were extremely grateful to the Guardian, so they naturally used the method they approved to express their joy.
Li Yuanqing, who was standing beside the huge rock, looked at the happy father and son in surprise. His originally calm and indifferent state of mind actually had a hint of joy and happiness.
It turned out that secretly helping others and changing the fate of so many people was also a very happy thing.
Zhaoyang did a good job.
The young beggar in tattered clothes was also being selected. The members of the Martial Arts Academy looked more open-minded. They did not deliberately make things difficult for him because of the stench on his body, nor did they pity him for being a beggar.
Instead, he was tested step by step according to the process. It was relatively fair and just.
When Li Yuanqing saw this, he simply walked into the Martial Arts Academy. This was originally a training ground for the Wilderness Barracks. There were already houses and venues here. This place was built after building some railings and planting a large number of trees.
The Martial Arts Academy might look empty and simple. However, Li Yuanqing casually walked around and found a huge library.
Books were good things in the Northern Kingdom. Books were worth more than gold. Ordinary people would not have the chance to see so many books. This meant that the Martial Arts Academy was not perfunctory.
While strolling around the Martial Arts Academy, Li Yuanqing casually saw a few intermediate martial artists wearing green robes. They should be the masters of the Martial Arts Academy.
There were many people who entered the Martial Arts Academy. Most of them were parents who had come today to send their children who were chosen. Most of them were people who had not been chosen and wanted to come in to see what the Martial Arts Academy was like.
However, when this large group of people looked at the training ground in the distance and wanted to go over, they were stopped by someone on guard, indicating that this was an important place of the Martial Arts Academy and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
The large group of people looked extremely disappointed, but looking at the martial artists, they did not dare to say anything. Only Li Yuanqing frowned.
“Those are the most basic training grounds. Some beginner martial artists can also use them. This place used to be as spacious as a military camp. Isn’t it good to let ordinary people train here?”
Actually, many ordinary citizens also had some very beginner martial artists. If they often had training in the training grounds, their chances of advancing would be higher.
That was why Li Yuanqing said that. It was mainly because the Martial Arts Academy’s venue was too big. There were many training grounds in the place that was originally a military camp. Since it was empty, it was better to take it out for ordinary people to use.
Li Yuanqing casually said what everyone was thinking. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, someone applauded and felt that he was right.
Wasn’t the Martial Arts Academy doing quite well in the beginning? Why were they not allowed to enter here?
“Nonsense. We can’t be greedy. The Martial Arts Academy can only be opened for entry on these two days. After those quasi-martial artists start training, you’re not allowed to enter or leave here casually. You’re asking too much…”
The guard blocking these people looked extremely displeased. He felt that these commoners were really too greedy. It was already a great blessing to be able to enter the Martial Arts Academy. They still wanted to enter the training ground?
“Don’t forget that this is the Martial Arts Academy. What kind of place is the Martial Arts Academy? If it weren’t for the order of the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom, the Royal Martial Arts Academy would be the only one in the entire Northern Kingdom. You commoners will never be able to see the entrance of the Royal Martial Arts Academy…”
Many people were speechless by the guard’s words. Only Li Yuanqing sneered. “The Martial Arts Academy will be open to the common people.”
The guard scoffed at Li Yuanqing’s words and looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. However, he heard someone suddenly clap and say something loudly. “Yes, yes. The Martial Arts Academy should be open to the common people. You’re right…”
Everyone was looking around because this person’s voice was especially loud. However, Li Yuanqing looked at this person in surprise!
