Sajras continent holds a vast territory.
The Demon Academy occupies almost a tenth of the continent Sajras, this tenth part is called: Desert Region.
It is said that there were birds and beautiful flowers.
But about 3000 years ago in the Catastrophic Era, an unknown demon fell in this area. He was seriously injured and wanted to recover here. But some kind of poison or curse on his body made him fall into madness.
The demon went crazy. He toppled the highest mountains of the Sajras Continent and drained the clearest river on the continent.
Unable to find a target to vent, the demon who fell into extreme rage, in his madness began to beat himself. Of course, ordinary people would not cause too much harm by beating themselves.
But the devil is different!
The mouth was struck, and the subsequent current destroyed a portion of the territory; He cut off his arm with a sword, then the demon power sprung out and caused a storm that lasted for several months.
The earth overturned and the mountains and rivers broke.
Since then, Desert Region has become what it is now.
It is also because of this legend that the Desert Region has the nickname "Demonic Cemetery".
Stain the land of the Desert Region with the blood of the demon!
Every year, countless people believe in legends come to the Sorrows Region in search of treasures. Even if they can't find the demon relics, it is very good at finding different rare plants.
Year after year, the deserted region has gradually become synonymous with evil. Many powerful and demonic people have chosen the Desert Region as a place to live.
Eric knows that this legend is true.
This is not just because Gabriel or the previous owner of the body believe in this legend. But he feels that, in this region, the demonic energy is more intense than outside.
And that can only happen because there is some kind of very strong spiritual plant that influences demonic qi, or because a devil or demon with a high spiritual level has died here, spreading its energy for eons.
Looking at the City of Undefined Paradise in front of him, Eric sighed.
He had to arrive here without any subordinates or Gabriel, as Gabriel's task only extended to China and the drug mission.
Besides, the trip lasted 14 days, because he could not travel to this city by car or take a plane to the city. Since this region is not inhabited by normal people, and there are only cultivators. So he had to travel in a carriage pulled by several horses and then take a boat to cross a large river.
Now you just have to gather a little information about the entrance exam to the Demoniac Academy, and look for some inn where to rest and feed.
…
The end of the year was approaching and the city of Indefinite Paradise was buzzing with activity. Numerous young people came to the city for the entrance exam of the Demoniac Academy.
In the Bloody Blessing inn, there was a group of young people, all of them were people from largeclans and families, some were from the city of Indefinite Paradise. Many outstanding young people had gathered there to drink wine and discuss the upcoming evaluation of the Demoniac Academy.
"I heard that Princess Noir's cultivation was about to break into the third stage of True Qi after she had encountered the inheritance of an immortal in the Eternal Forest and was invited to the Celestial Academy. Ye Xuan, do you think all this is really true? ". Asked a young disciple holding a feather fan. Everyone looked at Ye Xuan with questioning looks.
"All of this is obviously true. When he reached the second stage of True Qi, my father saw his strength increase drastically. For our ceremony, I believe that the Ye Clan will be able to show extraordinary talents."
Ye Xuan had a smile on his face. His father was an acquaintance of the King of the Noir Empire and also aspired to occupy the position of clan chief, so Ye Xuan's status within the family was obviously suitable enough to state his opinions on behalf of the Ye Clan.
"Hahaha. She is about to reach the third stage of True Qi, that is not an achievement. In my family, Gu Yan already broke that layer more than six months ago. The members of the Noir family obviously do not participate in enough battles, they clearly prefer to cultivate within the safety of their kingdom." said the young man wearing a yellow jacket who was sitting opposite Ye Xuan. In the city of Undefined Paradise, the Gu Clan and the Ye Clan were always hostile to each other.
"You are forgetting a detail, Young Master Gu. Princess Noir just turned 21, and Gu Yan is already 25 years old." Another young man commented.
The young man holding the feather fan did not forget to offer his opinion, his clan had very strong ties within the city government, he couldn't help but have a sneer on his face: "Wen Jiang has already broken through to the Core Formation. What a talented cultivator, what an amazing talent."
"Did you invite me here to listen to these stupid and meaningless discussions?" said a voice in the background, it was cold and distant which made everyone stop talking. She was a young girl who was extremely pretty, but she emitted an icy aura.
"Of course not. I invited everyone to come and tell them some news. This year, in the second stage of the exam to the Demon Academy is going to be given in the Blood Forest, in addition to my clan and the members of The Three Great Clans of theIndefinite Paradise, other outstanding people can also join. Nalan Yanran, should you be able to understand what this means?"
Ye Xuan smiled warmly. Everyone had understood. In the past, the city of Indefinite Paradise also had an annual meeting, but it was limited to the descendants of the four strongest clans. They wouldn't have thought that this time they would allow other people to join. It seemed that they wanted to solicit the participation of other young people within the city who might be full of potential. They could use this to recruit young talent early.
It is said that Nalan Yanran is an orphan, but her reputation in the city of Undefined Paradise was already well established. It was because of her stunningly beautiful appearance, as well as her cold temperament and, of course, her natural talent.
Nalan Yanran nodded. He was also eager to find out what kind of skills the descendants of the four strongest clans were capable of.
"Hehe, now the next ceremony will certainly be wonderful. I heard that the Lin Clan's piece of trash, Lin Tian has progressed in his training, and even injured Lin Yun as well. I believe that the piece of garbage will also come to join the annual meeting." the young man of the Gu family said, with a bright smile on his face. I could feel the excitement welling up inside him.
"Gu Song, what do you mean? My Lin Clan has many outstanding disciples coming to join our meeting, why would we need a piece of trash to join? Lin Yu replied, who obviously understood who they were referring to. Hewould be ridiculing the younger generations of his Clan.
"Hehe, you're calling a member of your own family a piece of garbage... That doesn't seem appropriate." Gu Song replied with a smile.
"A piece of garbage is a piece of garbage. Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Moreover, I, who am also a member of the main family by blood, sooner or later will definitely kill him and-". Lin Yu didn't have time to finish his sentence because something had stopped him. He just turned his head and didn't keep talking.
Just then, the door of the restaurant opened, and a young man with a ridiculously large sword who was being carried by one of his hands, so that he would not crawl or break anything from the restaurant walked in. He wore a business suit that stood out inside the restaurant where everyone wore robes. What made him stand out apart from his suit, was his attractive face and crimson red eyes, he looked like a work of art.
After having been traveling for thirteen days, you could barely see the fatigue of the trip on Eric Romano's face. Sitting in the carriage was exhausting, but Eric's facial expression was particularly radiant and did not reveal the slightest slowness.
Eric walked into a restaurant and a voice came from one of the tables. Although the sound of the voice had been faint, Eric's sense of hearing was extremely sharp. Eric shook his head and saw someone looking at him.
Eight people were sitting at the table, all of them were young disciples of powerful clans.
When they saw Eric coming in, no one said a word. Everyone had their respective assumptions of who this young man was. After a few seconds they ignored Eric. Even Nalan Yanran, who had never shown interest in a man, a hint of curiosity could be seen in her eyes for this attractive young man.
The other young people clearly saw Nalan Yanran's interest in this young man, so a little envy burst into their hearts. But no one dared to say anything to this young man, because his simple aura screamed danger.
"It seems that this year's exams will be very interesting, I hope my clan will not have bad blood with that young man's family." Gu Song commented. Although he didn't know if this young man was from a big family or clan, it was better to be cautious and not offend him.
Eric was looking for someunoccupied m so he could take a seat and enjoy a good meal and wine, but all the tables were occupied. Only the table where those 8 young people were was an unoccupied seat.
Eric smiled and took a few steps towards Gu Song.
"Can I sit down?" Eric politely asked Gu Song.
"What makes you think you can sit here?" Wen Shan said impolitely. In the city of Indefinite Paradise, there were five powerful clans. The family belonging to the city lord was the strongest. There was continuous hostility between the other three great clans, there was especially great tension between the Gu Clan and the Ye Clan. The Gu Clan would not miss the opportunity to attack the Ye Clan. The Wen clan also had its own hidden agenda. And the Lin clan had its own internal problems and struggles against the Wen clan.
"Oh, what exactly do you mean?" Eric looked at Wen Shan and asked.
"Don't you understand? Piece of garbage, nothing gives you the right to sit with us." Wen Shan said to Eric disdainfully. Eric really had no idea who these arrogant young people were, but he didn't care much either.
"Ah, I understand," Eric said without losing his temper. It was as calm as before.
"Whatever, get lost." Wen Shan shouted angrily. He had hoped that Eric would shrink and retreat allowing him to show the power of his Wen family to impress Nalan Yanran.
Eric didn't give it much thought, and he was about to turn around to go to another inn, but a male voice stopped him.
"Wait, you can take a seat from any table on the second floor, Young Roman" A man was coming downstairs, wearing a simple bathrobe, and looked about 30 years old.
Everyone stopped talking looked dumbfounded. Obviously, they would never have thought that the innkeeper would personally come down and welcome this young man. The innkeeper only allowed some of the inner disciples of the Demon Academy and teachers of the Academy to go up to the second floor.
The whole crowd was shocked, and continued to watch the scene with interest, especially Lin Yu, who had a resplendent smile on his face. Not only could he see Wen Shan lose face, but he could also see that the Wen clan suffer under the hands of this young man. That wonderful scene was taking place before his eyes, how could he not be happy?
Eric briefly glanced at the innkeeper and nodded soften, and proceeded to go up to the second floor of the inn, not caring about the stunned looks of a few people.
"Hehe, I haven't seen someone in your family around here for a long time, Young Roman" The innkeeper seemed to know a few members of his family, which did not surprise Eric.
"My family is busy with some important matters in the Amantia Continent, so he can only get to see my brother around here" Eric had nothing to hide, and he didn't mind talking to this innkeeper either.
"So they are busy, I hope to see your father soon, I owe him a few favors. Now if you excuse me, I hope you can enjoy your stay here" The innkeeper then went to the third floor of the restaurant, which seemed to be his own room.
Eric ate and drank quite a bit of wine, he has long since been unable to enjoy good wine, the last time he could drink wine quietly was after encountering the Imperial Devil Scripture. Then he had no time to eat, because of the different forces that pursued him to the ends of the earth.
After paying for his food and wine, he went to the room to rest and go to the gates of the Demoniac Academy.
…
In the afternoon, the street near the Demon Academy was full of people. The opening ceremony was to begin soon. All the young people, aged between sixteen and twenty years of all the great families and clans of the City of Indefinite Paradise, were now gathering in the Demon Academy.
The Demon Academy is a powerful sect of demonic practitioners, with over 100,000 cultivators under its command.
Thousands of boys and girls gathered to join the academy. The Grand Training Ground located just after the entrance of the academy was large enough to fit all the students inside. They all seemed excited and nervous about what's to come. It was because this was an opportunity to see the Lord Himself joining the opening ceremony.
"Look! It's the Bloody Guardian!"
"If he is here, the Lord will be here soon."
"I will have the opportunity to see his face for the first time in my life!"
There was a middle-aged man with long red hair coming out of the left side of the giant stage, mocking the children on the ground.
'Garbage. We only have garbage this time. Or it may be the last time. '
The middle-aged man was the Bloody Guardian, Apollo, or the Lord's closest counselor. The Lord had three guardians with him. The Great Guardian, the Bloody Guardian, and the Guardian of Peace only acted at the Lord's command. They ranked in the top ten for fighting prowess within the Demon Cult.
'Mmm. Are those the heirs of the five clans? '
Apollo looked at all the young men. All students entering the academy received a round label with their name and numbers. They were given the numbers according to the order in which they entered.
"I see some familiar faces and some with extraordinary talent. '
All the young men were lined up neatly, waiting for Apollo's orders anxiously.
The sound of the horn echoed throughout the field, and people began to murmur. It was because of the person who had just entered. A thousand children began to chant with shouts. A man with the word 'Heaven' on his black silk clothes stood up and sat on the throne on the stage. He was the Lord and one of the Five Kings of Sajras, Adonis. Even without his title, his presence was overwhelming even in front of a thousandpeople.
"I can't even look at it directly."
The boys had lost the courage to even admire him. Next to the Lord was the Great Guardian, Taranis. He had a special mask on his face so no one would know what he was really like.
And to the right of the throne was a man dressed in rags who seemed to have difficulty standing up as if drunk. He was the Guardian of peace, Ramish. He acted like a bully, but was still ranked among the ten strongest men of the Demoniac Academy.
"Ha, what are you looking at?" Ramish spat out Apollo, who looked at him in disgust and took a sip from his bottle of liquor. Taranis then walked to the stage and shouted:
"QUIET!" It was a voice tied with inner energy that spread to everyone. The training ground was immediately silent.
"The most honorable, you are ready." Taranis turned and spoke softly, and Lord Adonis rose from his throne.
"For everyone who has entered the academy, you will be the future of ourAcademy." And unlike Taranis who cried out, the Lord spoke quietly. However, his voice was crystal clear in the ears of the thousands of young people. It was proof of the absolute power of Adonis.
"I welcome you to join the academy. I hope you can pass the tests and do your part in the Demoniac Academy."
And that was it. Adonis turned and the Great Guardian Taranis spoke to him.
"That was a wonderful speech." Then the Lord left the stage with Taranis guiding him. It was so brief that it silenced the students, but soon they shouted and sang.
"POR THE DEMONIC ACADEMY A!"
Eric Romano wasn't sure how he felt. It's been a long time since you have seen many young people shouting and praising a "demonic cult."
Anyway, he didn't care too much.
"With his speech, we will start now." Hameng's voice pierced the air, and the students fell silent.
"I'll keep it simple. Listen." Hameng began to explain the system of the Demon Academy.
"The academy will last for ten years and four stages."
Everyone knew that the academy lasted ten years. But there were some who had teachers or parents who didn't attend the academy, so they started focusing on testing in each of the four stages.
"You can take all four stages in steps, and you can only take them once."
Students began to murmur about getting only one chance at each stage. Failure meant they would be expelled.
"You seem to understand it pretty quickly. If you don't approve, you will be expelled immediately."
"But if you only pass 2 stages and fail the third, you can stay as a demonic soldier or servant in the Academy."
A demon soldier is the lowest rank of forces in the Academy. Above her are demonic captains, demonic generals, great demons and demonic kings, and at the apex is the Demonic Lord.
There was only one chance to get up. It was then that a handsome boy standing in the front row raised his hand.
"I have a question."
He was the guy with the number 2 on his label. The second to arrive, for the test, was Wen Shan of the Wen Clan of the City of Indefinite Paradise. Apollo was in the middle of his speech, but Wen Shan interrupted him confidently. However-
"Who said you could ask questions?"
"What?"
Wen Shan's handsome face grimaced. He had been treated with respect by everyone around him because he was the future heir of the Wen clan, but it was shocking that he was treated with hostility.
"Wow? So you have a problem with my attitude? 'Young Master'? Do you want to be expelled even before the competition? ". The Bloody Guardian Apollo spat angrily. Wen Shan was angry, but he couldn't say anything. He remembered what his guard warned him the other day.
[Once you are in the academy, all the privileges you had for being the son of the Patriarch will be removed. And whoever is designated as the Jefe of the Academy, never cross its lines.]
He didn't care when he heard it, but now he realized it after experiencing it. He was against one of the strongest of the Demoniac Academy.
"I apologize, sir." Wen Shan bowed, and the other four young masters smiled.
