Furthermore, Star Academy is located in Tianxing City, which is itself within the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield.

The danger level is very high.

More importantly, Star Academy students, apart from the protection policy in their first year, are required to start completing Star Academy tasks once they reach their second year.

And most of these tasks are related to resisting Otherworldly Demons.

Many Star Academy students might die during these tasks.

This also leads to very few Star Academy students surviving until graduation.

There was even one year when no Star Academy student managed to survive until graduation!

It is clear how special Star Academy is.

It is precisely because of such a special Star Academy that some students, even those who have received an invitation letter, will give up this assessment opportunity.

After all, whether they can join is one thing, but whether they can survive until graduation after joining Star Academy is another problem.

But even so, anyone who can graduate alive from Star Academy will become a high-ranking official of Great Xia in the future, or even a powerful Martial Artist.

They become the mainstays of Great Xia in resisting Otherworldly Demons!

Therefore, in the eyes of all students in Great Xia, Star Academy is a place that is both longed for and feared.

After hearing Kong Xin's words, Lu Sheng also fell into deep thought.

Kong Xin just watched Lu Sheng silently, not rushing to speak.

After a moment, Lu Sheng slowly raised his head, looked at Kong Xin, and softly asked, "Senior Sister means for me to join Star Academy?"

Kong Xin nodded, "If you ask where the most tempering place in all of Great Xia is, then it is undoubtedly Star Academy."

"Among all the Martial Arts Academies in Great Xia, Star Academy has the most luxurious faculty, and enjoys the richest benefits and resources!"

"If you can enter Star Academy, your future prospects are limitless!"

"But at the same time, once you join Star Academy, it means you are no longer a student, but a warrior fighting in Tianxing City!"

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kong Xin's words were correct; Star Academy students, in a sense, really are warriors fighting in Tianxing City.

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. If Little Junior Brother is unwilling, I won't force it."

Kong Xin said softly.

Lan Linglong, beside her, also remained silent, quietly waiting for Lu Sheng's choice.

Indeed, in their eyes, entering Star Academy was the best path, but everyone has their own choices.

If Lu Sheng was unwilling, they would respect his choice.

"Star Academy, huh..."

Lu Sheng murmured, and all that happened in Yun City today couldn't help but surface in his mind.

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that, although Yun City seemed safe and sound within the Great Xia Territory, and usually only Vicious Beasts invading would cause a slight disturbance, he also knew that if tens of thousands of Martial Artists of Great Xia hadn't fought one after another on the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield, Great Xia would definitely not be as it is now.

Regarding Otherworldly Demons, even though Lu Sheng had Transmigrated, in his predecessor's memories, there was a hidden resentment towards them.

Coupled with everything he experienced today... the Demonic Cult mercilessly slaughtered innocent civilians, and they were merely the running dogs of the Otherworldly Demons, yet they had already committed such appalling acts.

If that day came... when the Otherworldly Demons truly tore through Great Xia's defenses and descended upon the Great Xia Territory... Lu Sheng couldn't even imagine what a horrific disaster that would be!

How many of the Human Race would tragically die under the Otherworldly Demons' claws... and resisting Otherworldly Demons, while dangerous, was also a responsibility as a member of the Great Xia Human Clan.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath. As his thoughts gradually became clear, he also found that his mind seemed to gradually clear up.

He looked at Kong Xin and smiled slightly.

"Senior Sister, if possible, I am quite interested in this Star Academy."

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Kong Xin and Lan Linglong exchanged glances, both revealing a smile.

Although they didn't interfere with Lu Sheng's choice, they were happy that he chose Star Academy.

After all, although they were not from Star Academy, their actions, and even their beliefs, were no different from those of Star Academy!

"Since you've made your choice, go back and pack up. Tomorrow, we officially set off!"

Kong Xin said decisively.

Lu Sheng didn't dawdle either. He stood up, bade farewell to the two of them, and walked towards his home.

Watching Lu Sheng's figure gradually disappear into the courtyard, Lan Linglong sighed, "Although Little Junior Brother's choice makes me relieved, that place, Star Academy, is ultimately too dangerous."

Kong Xin was silent for a moment, then said, "If I had a choice, why would I want Little Junior Brother to go to the front lines? It's just that Great Xia seems stable, but that's because there are hundreds of millions of Martial Artists and soldiers on the front lines, resisting the invasion of Otherworldly Demons with their lives."

"If the people in the rear only know how to enjoy themselves, then the blood of those on the front lines would have been shed in vain!"

"As long as the Otherworldly Demons are not eliminated, all of the Human Race in Great Xia will not be at peace!"

"Someone always has to do something. If no one does, then Great Xia will truly be in peril."

Lan Linglong also fell silent.

Immediately, Kong Xin took out her phone, found a number in her contacts, and then dialed it.

Soon, a calm voice came from the other end of the line.

"Warden Kong, what is it?"

Kong Xin didn't waste words: "Give me a spot for your assessment."

Kong Xin's words made the other end of the phone silent for a long time. After a moment, the voice said, "Warden Kong, this doesn't comply with our Star Academy's rules!"

A hint of impatience appeared between Kong Xin's brows: "Stop with the nonsense. It's not like there haven't been high-ranking officials stuffing people into your academy. Why can't I? Or do you people at Star Academy think that I, the Garrison General of Demon Slaughter City, am not qualified?"

The phone fell silent again for a moment, then the faint voice said, "Those people's descendants died in battle, so they won't say anything."

"But if the person you, Warden Kong, put in dies... I'm afraid you'll tear down Star Academy!"

The voice on the phone was loud, and Lan Linglong, who was beside her, also heard it and couldn't help but smile.

Rows of black lines immediately appeared on Kong Xin's forehead.

She gritted her teeth fiercely: "Are you giving it or not? If not, I'll tear down Star Academy right now!"
