185: Welcome to Pengcheng University for those who have "abandoned darkness and embraced light"!

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, surrounded by a sinister aura.

Clatter—

Pengcheng University covered an area of about 38,000 hectares, comparable in scale to a small city.

At this moment, Pengcheng University was incredibly crowded, packed densely with Skeleton Monsters.

There were Skeleton Warrior wielding bone blades, Skeleton Shield Soldier clad in pitch-black heavy armor, and Skeleton Generals exuding a savage aura!

Roar—

Several Skeleton Dragons soared through the sky, claws bared, letting out deafening dragon roars incessantly.

Lao Qiyuan and the three Vice Principals silently stared at the leading Dark Attribute Professionals.

"Are they all here to join Lu Yuan?" Vice Principal Zhan Shou-zheng smacked his lips.

News that Lu Yuan could make Dark Attribute Professionals return to their youth had spread.

The whole country was shocked!

People could not believe it was true, yet this was an announcement released on the official website of Pengcheng University.

Not long after it was posted, the official blog of the Seven Alliances and One Hall reposted it, instantly surging to the hot search list and sparking discussion!

People might not believe Pengcheng University, but they absolutely trusted The Authorities!

"Xiang Xianrong, Cang Mingqian, Zhuo Hongfeng..." Lao Qiyuan recited one name after another.

These people were much younger than him, none over sixty, yet they were decrepit and gray-haired.

Especially the Dark Attribute Professional, the Saint Realm Expert Xiang Xianrong, who was at the sixth star.

The several Skeleton Dragons above his head were summoned by him.

At this moment, Xiang Xianrong leaned on his cane, coughing incessantly, his cloudy eyes flickering as he looked toward the school gate.

"Saint Realm Expert at the sixth star!" Vice Principal Zhan Shou-zheng felt a complex mix of emotions.

Due to the gap between attributes, he, despite being at the Peak of the Saint Entry Realm, could not guarantee a sure victory against Xiang Xianrong.

Only by breaking through to the God Emperor Realm could he be certain!

This was the power of the Dark Attribute, and also what Vice Principal Zhan Shou-zheng envied.

But on second thought, the higher the realm of the Dark Attribute, the faster one died, so Vice Principal Zhan Shou-zheng felt it was quite good that he had awakened the Earth Attribute.

"Hasn't Lu Yuan returned yet?"

Xiang Xianrong's voice was hoarse, and even breathing was extremely difficult.

"It is said he went to the Imperial Capital headquarters," a person beside him replied.

What is going on?

Lu Yuan, who had just walked into the school, was surprised.

Skeleton Monsters, everything that met his eyes were Skeleton Monsters!

First, he could be certain that these Skeleton Monsters were not here to cause trouble, otherwise, they wouldn't be arranged so neatly.

It was just like a military parade!

Stepping on Feng Shi, Lu Yuan flew into the air and locked eyes on the Saint Realm Expert, Xiang Xianrong, who was at the sixth star.

Clatter—

The 20,000-strong Guie Army appeared, standing opposite the Skeleton Army.

Lao Qiyuan moved his lips slightly to transmit his voice to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan, having learned what happened, kept a calm expression.

"Lu Yuan is here!"

The Dark Attribute Professionals, who had been waiting for a long time, perked up.

"We follow Lu Yuan's lead!"

"We follow Lu Yuan's lead!!", "We follow Lu Yuan's lead!!!"

Under the control of the Dark Attribute Professionals, hundreds of thousands of Skeleton Monsters raised their weapons high.

The dragon roars and battle cries resounded through the sky!

This scene was extremely shocking, leaving the instructors and students unable to calm their hearts for a long time.

"That's kind of cool!"

"Kind of? Damn, that's incredibly cool!"

Lu Yuan looked down at the Dark Attribute Professionals kneeling on one knee.

There were about five or six hundred of them, and their realms varied.

The highest was the Saint Realm, and the lowest was the Qi Refining Realm.

"Let's go to the gymnasium to talk." Lu Yuan snapped his fingers, thinking about how to arrange them.

The group headed toward the gymnasium in a mighty procession.

Considering that the Dark Attribute Professionals had poor physical fitness and the gymnasium's air conditioning would take time to start, several Fire Attribute instructors manually raised the temperature.

"Lu Yuan, this is a massive force, and they are absolutely loyal to you!" Lao Qiyuan said in a deep voice.

In his view, there were only two types of leaders: one with superior martial strength, and one with great charisma.

The latter was rare; after all, charismatic leaders were too uncommon.

Lu Yuan was a special case.

The reason these Dark Attribute Professionals were loyal to Lu Yuan was that Lu Yuan could allow them to reverse their aging.

Who didn't crave to live longer?

If they wanted to live longer, they had to be loyal to Lu Yuan and follow his lead!

"From now on, you are their leader," Tang Jinghui stepped forward and said.

As for how to arrange these Dark Attribute Professionals, that was a problem Lu Yuan needed to consider.

"Principal Lu."

The gymnasium was warm, and the five or six hundred people sat down one after another.

Leaning on his cane, Xiang Xianrong, as the representative, stood before Lu Yuan.

He was gray-haired, with dense wrinkles on his face, giving one the impression that he could die at any moment.

However, Xiang Xianrong was only fifty-eight years old this year.

As a Saint Realm Expert, he should have been in his prime!

"Is it you talking to me now, or all the Dark Attribute Professionals talking to me?" Lu Yuan motioned for Xiang Xianrong to sit down and talk.

There was no choice.

Xiang Xianrong was struggling just to stand, his legs trembling incessantly, and his complexion was like that of a dead person.

"Naturally, it is all the Practitioners who have come to join you!" Xiang Xianrong said.

Upon learning that Lu Yuan could allow Dark Attribute Professionals to reverse their aging, they spontaneously gathered together.

Among them, Xiang Xianrong had the highest realm, so everyone asked him to talk to Lu Yuan.

With five or six hundred people in the gymnasium, Lu Yuan couldn't talk to them one by one; by the time he finished, it would probably be three or four days later.

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Xiang Xianrong's expression was complex, his eyes shimmering with tears.

"I am about to break through to the seventh star of the Saint Realm, but I dare not. You should be able to understand my pain," Xiang Xianrong sighed.

He was afraid that if he broke through, he would be close to death.

The Dark Attribute Professionals in the gymnasium clenched their fists, lowering their heads in silence.

They faced the same situation as Xiang Xianrong; the higher the realm, the shorter the lifespan!

The atmosphere was oppressive, and some cursed the heavens for being unfair.

Why did Practitioners of other attributes live younger as they aged, and their physical fitness allowed them to practice close combat?

The Dark Attribute was the exact opposite; upon breaking through to the Law Realm, they lost their fertility and were constantly suffering from colds and fevers!

Lu Yuan scanned the crowd, who were cursing and filled with anger.

"You can pledge allegiance to me, but I will state this in advance: when you cultivate and absorb demon crystals and monster cores, I will receive one percent of the energy!"

One percent was the conclusion Tang Jinghui had reached after research.

"Forget one percent, what about ten percent?!"

"That's right, as long as we can live like normal Practitioners, this cost is completely negligible!"

"From now on, whatever Principal Lu tells us to do, we will do!"

The crowd in the gymnasium looked at Lu Yuan with burning gazes.

Lu Yuan already had a plan for these Dark Attribute Professionals.

Those at the Domain Realm or above would serve as instructors at Pengcheng University, and those below would be assigned other work at the school.

Lao Qiyuan had no objections.

Even if Lu Yuan stepped down as principal in the future, they would still take orders from Lu Yuan, not from any leader in the school!

"With so many Dark Attribute Professionals cultivating together, your breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm is just around the corner!" Tang Jinghui said with an envious tone.

He had worked himself to death to cultivate to the Saint Realm, whereas Lu Yuan didn't have to do anything, having others help him cultivate.

Not to mention Tang Jinghui, even Lao Qiyuan was very envious!

Surprises came one after another!

"Principal, the other Four Great Top Academies have agreed to let students transfer to our Pengcheng University," Vice Principal Zhan Shou-zheng said.

He was, of course, referring to the Dark Attribute students.

"We will refuse no one!" Lu Yuan was not surprised.

The founding purpose of the Five Great Top Academies was clear: to cultivate pillars of talent for Huaxia.

Sending the Dark Attribute students to Pengcheng University was for the good of these students.

The students would, of course, agree; this was entirely beneficial and harmless to them!

Having arranged for the people in the gymnasium, Lu Yuan, as principal, came to the playground.

Looking at the Dark Attribute students wearing four different colors of school uniforms, their expressions full of anticipation, Lu Yuan cleared his throat.

"Welcome, welcome to 'Switching to the Light' at Pengcheng University!"
