"Sixteen years later...!"

Hong Kang stood in the courtyard, facing the gentle breeze.

He promised to cure Yin Zhong's injury in sixteen years in exchange for "Yujian Villa"'s full support for "Blackwater Academy", whether in terms of manpower, material or financial resources.

Although Yin Hao is the owner of "Yujian Villa", Yin Zhong actually has more say.

Because of Yin Hao's benevolent and generous character, and the current status of "Yujian Villa" is mostly due to Yin Zhong.

It was not that Hong Kang was blackmailed by Yin Zhong, but that he himself proposed to heal Yin Zhong's old wounds sixteen years later.

It is one thing to get the support of "Yujian Villa", but more importantly, Hong Kang wants to see Yin Zhong's strength in full condition.

Now Yin Zhong, who is half disabled, can no longer pose a threat to Hong Kang.

Although from the scenes shown in the spiritual mirror five hundred years ago, Yin Zhong's strength in his heyday was somewhat higher than that of Hong Kang now;

If the injury that has troubled Yin Zhong for five hundred years is healed, his strength may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to leap forward again.

but--

"If a person doesn't carry anything, his life will be light."

Hong Kang knew that Yin Zhong had no good intentions toward him, but he still decided to heal Yin Zhong's injury just to create pressure for himself.

In the original trajectory, about ten years later, Yin Zhong was cured of his old injuries by the spiritual mirror; he was sealed under the Hell Rock for more than five years, and took the opportunity to complete the "Zhu Rong Fire Refining", shed his mortal body, and became a real human being

god!!

"Sixteen years, whether it is long or short..."

"My martial arts must take a further step, even a few steps~!"

………………

There is an inn.

It suddenly appeared a few months ago, an inn with a strange and ordinary name. It seemed to have appeared around the same time as "Blackwater Academy".

The food and wine inside are of the highest quality, and the service is good, making people feel at home, so there is an endless stream of customers.

In a room.

Xiao Ting said to Xiao Yanyan: "Jiu Mei, I have decided to stay in the "Blackwater Academy" for one year."

Xiao Yanyan said: "For those four sentences?!"

Xiao Ting said: "It's especially for Hong Kang. This person not only possesses the "Dragon Divine Art", but also has such insights. He is truly a great talent in this world. I am ready to recommend him to my father."

"But I don't know his character. This year of study was also the time for me to observe him."

He learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family.

In Xiao Ting's heart, this is a matter of course.

Xiao Yanyan frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the other brothers will try their best to prevent your recommendation from Qi Ge from getting in front of my father. And... if they know that Hong Kang possesses the "Dragon Divine Art", they may not do anything stupid.

Come on~!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yanyan's eyes showed worry, and she thought of some ancient books she had read.

"Perhaps...they don't know what the nearly ninety-foot-long body of a real dragon really means~!!"

"An ordinary army, even one hundred thousand elite soldiers, will not cause trouble to others!~"

Xiao Ting said proudly: "There is no need for a hundred thousand elite soldiers. As long as you give me three thousand sharp soldiers and form a military formation at that time, I don't believe it..."

"Military spirit formation??"

Xiao Yanyan reminded: "Will they give you a chance to gather military strength?"

Xiao Ting was silent.

………………

An Jiale was very impressive today, wearing the student uniform of "Blackwater Academy" and strutting all the way there.

Even if you are tired and out of breath and sweating profusely.

You know, usually he has to sit in a sedan chair before taking a few steps.

An Jiale was happy because from today on, he and the young owner of "Yujian Villa" were classmates.

Even from his perspective, many of these classmates were either rich or noble.

When he entered the gate of "Blackwater Academy", he immediately saw Yin Tianqi and Yin Tianxue in the crowd.

He quickly puffed up his round belly and ran over with a huff and a puff.

"Young Master, Miss Yin."

Yin Tianqi looked at the fat little man in front of him with a flattering smile.

Said: "Are you...?"

An Jiale tried hard to make his introduction look more formal.

"I'm An Jiale. My father, An Dafu, is the owner of Jinyu Mantang. He has always had business dealings with Guizhuang."

Yin Tianqi smiled gracefully and said: "It turns out that this is the young master's family of "Full of Money"...!"

Then, there is no more.

It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, but Yin Tianqi really has no impression of this "rich man"!

Fortunately, Yin Tianxue saw Yin Tianqi's predicament and came to the rescue: "The quality of the jades in Mr. An's family has always been of high quality, and they are well-known for their reputation."

"Especially mutton-fat jade, its texture is white, delicate and moist, and it is very nourishing."

"Brother, isn't the white jade galloping horse in dad's study a gift from Mr. An's family?"

Yin Tianqi suddenly said: "You mean that white jade galloping horse~!"

He remembered the white jade galloping horse that looked like it was galloping forward. The feathered man on the horse was holding the horse's neck with both hands. The whole thing was exquisitely carved and the shape was vivid and lifelike.

He knew that his father liked this jade statue very much.

An Jiale grinned and narrowed his eyes into a straight line.

"Hehehe...it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

"As soon as I saw you two today, I felt cordial. I have nothing to offer you, but this is just a simple gift. Please don't dislike it~!"

An Jiale immediately took out two jade rings of high quality and handed them to the two of them.

"this………!"

Yin Tianqi wanted to refuse, after all, the two had no friendship before.

Although this jade ring was not very precious in their eyes, Yin Tianqi was not an ignorant person. He saw that it was worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

But before he could refuse, An Jiale thrust two jade rings into his hands.

He also said: "They are all small gifts, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Then, he turned around and walked away without any delay.

Then Yin Tianqi saw the chubby little man named An Jiale, and found a pair of brothers and sisters who looked very aristocratic, and then gave away two jade ornaments.

Watching An Jiale constantly shuttle among the crowd, Yin Tianqi lowered his head to look at the jade ring in his hand, then looked up at him, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"This little fat guy is quite interesting. He's so rich...!"

………………

When all one hundred and eighty students arrived, Hong Kang showed up.

He raised his hand and pressed down, and all the students fell silent.

"First of all, let me tell you about the arrangement of the academy for you. The academic system lasts for six years."

"You have received the textbooks in advance. In the first three years, you will study six subjects: [Literature], [Martial Arts], [Mathematics], [Science], [Agriculture], and [Medicine]."

Xiao Ting listened carefully to Hong Kang's story.

He browsed through the textbooks in advance, and what attracted him most was not the civil and military subjects, but [Agriculture], because it recorded many ways to increase grain production, which he had never heard of.

You know, food is the most important thing for people!!

Eating, or even having enough to eat, is the top priority for people~!

If what is recorded in [Agriculture] is true, it would be nothing short of great gospel to the people of the world.

Hong Kang continued: "Of course, among these six subjects, the two subjects of civil and military subjects are the main subjects, and the other four subjects are electives."

"In the next three years, in addition to continuing to study the two civil and military subjects, students can choose one or two of the other four subjects as their own elective subjects according to their own talents. Of course..."

"If some students think they have enough talent and time, they can practice all of them..."

Hong Kang saw a young man raising his hands high.

"This student, do you have any questions?"

The young man cupped his fists and saluted: "Palace Master Hong..."

Hong Kang waved his hand and said: "There is no palace master here, only the teacher and the taught."

"As the saying goes, 'the master comes first, the teacher is the teacher', in the academy, there are only teachers and students."

The young man nodded and said: "...I understand. Mr. Hong, I would like to ask you, Li Tianchou, what kind of knowledge is this [science]?"

Hong Kang looked at the young man with admiration in his eyes. After all, he was the first person to ask this question.

Moreover, he could sense that this young man's hands and feet were sharp and his breath was long, so he obviously had a good foundation in kung fu.
