Chapter 1764: Chapter 1764

"So that’s how it is. No wonder the academy doesn’t have an eight-tier. I always found it strange before. But speaking of which, it’s really a miracle the academy hasn’t been obliterated after offending so many people back in the day."

Boss Bai laughed, "Hahaha, what miracle? If we hadn’t protected it secretly back then, do you think the academy could have survived? That place, after all, inherited Lord Wang’s will. Although we don’t agree with Lord Wang’s ideas, we all highly respect his character." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

"So there was such a thing, Old Bai, please share more." Li Mengyao used her advantage as the student council president.

Old Bai didn’t hide anything and spoke directly. "Back then, even though we left, we were all either Lord Wang’s disciples or colleagues. Disagreement in philosophy doesn’t mean we don’t respect his character."

According to Old Bai, back then the scholar’s character was almost saint-like. Perhaps it was for this reason that this scholar never became a high official but continued to lead in teaching work.

His status was extremely noble, a leader among the clean stream, but he had no real power at all.

Those who left kept watch perpetually. The selfless ideology to cultivate the new generation was also immensely respectable. Initially, the National School had many strong figures, so they didn’t intervene.

It must be said, in this respect, the scholar was very capable. Many innovative ideas back then were proposed during that time. Even the constraints set later to prevent professionals from fighting to the death were created by the scholar joining with other strong figures, for the safety of all Earth’s members.

At the same time, this was also to prevent anyone from fighting over Earth and destroying it.

Because these proposals benefited everyone and had Lord Wang’s reputation, they were passed.

However, due to the scholar’s high regard back then, some were worried that if he reached seven-tier with unlimited lifespan, he’d form a huge faction, blocking their chance for eminence.

This was why some plotted against him. As a result, Lord Wang, who was already quite old, never reached beyond tier three in power. Naturally, after his lifespan ended, he passed away, and those with ambitions finally revealed their ambitions.

Later, Capital University consisted of people inheriting the scholar’s will, who fought evil everywhere and hence offended many. Their strength kept declining, making it hard to continue existing under normal circumstances.

But those who split off back then rose their strength to the peak of the world at the time.

Out of respect for the scholar, they didn’t want the scholar’s dying wish to be destroyed, and since the academy could also supply them with strong figures, they stepped in secretly.

Those who aimed against Capital University were wiped out one by one. The then precarious Capital University suddenly found themselves without opponents, thanks to these people’s intervention.

It was also due to them that the Asia Alliance was able to retain so many strong figures and establish such a stable environment back then.

"Later, when the chaos ended, the Asia Alliance emerged. The founding members were also saint-like figures who gained our utmost respect. So we discussed it in secret and jointly pushed them up. It started with the Central Plains, but seeing the good situation here, people from surrounding areas joined in."

"Hmph, initially those guys wanted to exist in the form of vassal states like before. But unfortunately, an alliance is not a country. Either join or the alliance wouldn’t care about them. By the time the royal families were mostly destroyed, the alliance formed."

Even now, some ancient royal lineages continue, but very few people know about them.

"The alliance founders, like the scholar, were so stubborn. They gave everything for humanity without time to improve their own power, ultimately dying of old age."

Reaching this point, Old Bai expressed regret and sighs. Unfortunately, there weren’t many means to extend lifespan back then. Otherwise, they would have been used for such a person. Someone like him being alive would have been a tremendous help to most people.

After the founder’s death, factions emerged within the alliance, engaging in struggles against each other.

This caused the Asia Alliance, though initially the first and strongest, to cease external expansion, remaining at this level due to internal conflicts.

Only when other alliances formed and external pressure arose did these people finally settle down.

As a result, conflicts began between the alliances. "If not for a super-strong figure suddenly appearing back then, suppressing everyone with absolute power and establishing the Professional Alliance, Earth might have turned into chaos."

"Who was that strong figure?" Du You was curious about that figure.

"Unknown, that person rarely appeared, and it’s said not even the few nine-tier lords knew. And then, decades ago, that lord suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where they went."

Old Bai continued, "Because of meritorious service in quelling the chaos, the Asia Alliance has never suppressed Capital University. Even later, they only established an Alliance Comprehensive Academy to compete fairly with Capital University, without any suppression tactics."

Du You thought internally, there must have been your secret help too, right? Despite the academy not having an eight-tier support, its latent power is still strong. In times of life and death, these people would definitely appear.

"Among our old folks back then, not one reached tier nine, how ironic. But five reached tier eight. Later, those trained by the academy, eight reached tier eight, but they all belonged to various great powers, not entirely to the academy. These people might not show up in normal times, but if the academy is in danger, they’d surely appear to help."

Du You himself was the eighth, Old Bai stared firmly at Du You, which could be seen from Du You’s eyes. Although Du You didn’t belong to the academy itself, he would act if it was in danger.

The key thing is, this guy, being of common origin, has a cooperative relationship with the academy and has a very close bond.

Also, Du You is the only one potentially reaching tier nine, and this meeting further affirmed Old Bai’s belief. This was practically the hope for their Capital University lineage. Only with tier nine could they be considered a top-tier forces alliance.
