206: Chapter 206 Desolate Dust Academy, to be a sparring partner?

It was different from what Li Fan had imagined.

He originally thought the Silver Dragon City Lord would be an old man who looked profound and unfathomable.

After all, the other party was a Domain Lord level existence.

Looking across the universe, a Domain Lord level existence could be considered a regional hegemon.

But he hadn't expected this.

Aside from a burly physique, the Silver Dragon City Lord before him actually looked like an ordinary Middle-aged Man and was very approachable.

Immediately, Li Fan politely offered a greeting at the first opportunity.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

The Silver Dragon City Lord waved his hand, smiled, and nodded. “No need to be so formal.”

“I watched your duel with Lan Feng. You are very good!”

“Furthermore, being able to comprehend the third level of the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art so quickly is truly inconceivable. Your combat talent ranks in the top ten among everyone I've ever seen!”

As he spoke, the Silver Dragon City Lord's eyes were filled with a touch of admiration.

Faced with such high praise from the Silver Dragon City Lord,

Li Fan felt a bit embarrassed and immediately responded slowly, “The City Lord overpraises me. This junior still has many shortcomings.”

Next, Li Fan expressed his confusion,

“I wonder why the City Lord wished to see this junior? Is there something the matter?”

Regarding this question,

The Silver Dragon City Lord didn't play any games and got straight to the point.

“Have you heard of Huangchen Academy?”

Li Fan frowned slightly, then shook his head. “This junior's knowledge is shallow; I haven't heard of it.”

Seeing that Li Fan had never heard of it,

The Silver Dragon City Lord then patiently began to explain and introduce it,

“Huangchen Academy is a higher academy jointly founded by nine human Immortal Level existences of the Wushan Seat.

It aims to provide an excellent growth environment for the human geniuses of the Wushan Seat and to replenish fresh blood for the future of the Wushan Seat's human race...”

After hearing the introduction to Huangchen Academy, Li Fan was slightly surprised in his heart.

Jointly founded by nine Immortal Level existences?

That foundation is truly not weak!!

According to the Silver Dragon City Lord's introduction, Huangchen Academy was, simply put, a large-scale academy where the Students came from various star systems in the Wushan Seat, and all were geniuses among geniuses!

It had to be said.

Regarding this Huangchen Academy, Li Fan was already somewhat tempted.

What he lacked most right now were opportunities.

And to find and obtain opportunities, a good platform was exceptionally important.

The opportunities he could currently access on his own were just spending money to buy them from the Interstellar Crawler Organization.

Information on opportunities obtained this way was clearly not as reliable as the information revealed within Huangchen Academy.

As for the reason the Silver Dragon City Lord came looking for him, Li Fan had a faint guess.

“I see. Then, City Lord Senior, did you seek me out because you want me to go to this Huangchen Academy?” Li Fan directly asked his guess.

The Silver Dragon City Lord praised him as a genius the moment they met and then gave him a full introduction to Huangchen Academy.

With such a maneuver, Li Fan couldn't think of any other explanation for a moment besides wanting to recommend him to Huangchen Academy.

However, the Silver Dragon City Lord's next words left Li Fan stunned.

“Indeed, I want you to go to Huangchen Academy!”

“To be honest, I was actually entrusted by someone. A close friend of mine currently holds a position at Huangchen Academy.”

“He wants to find a group of Star-Treading Level geniuses with decent aptitude to serve as Sparring Partners for the Students in the academy.”

“I have already selected a group now, but I'm still short a few, so I want to invite you to join.”

That's right, this answer.

It was clearly something Li Fan hadn't expected.

He thought the Silver Dragon City Lord wanted to lead him to Huangchen Academy to be a Student.

As it turned out, he was being asked to be a Sparring Partner for the Formal Students?!

Asking him to be a Sparring Partner?

Wasn't this a bit too ridiculous?

The Silver Dragon City Lord evidently saw through Li Fan's thoughts and continued,

“I understand. With your talent, you definitely wouldn't be content going as a Sparring Partner.”

“However, there is always someone better, and the universe is vast. There are plenty of geniuses more powerful than you. For you, being a Sparring Partner for those top geniuses isn't a waste of talent, but an opportunity!”

“Although the treatment of a Sparring Partner is far inferior to that of those Formal Students, you can still enjoy some of Huangchen Academy's resources, such as even having the chance to audit classes taught by Realm Master Level instructors.”

“Besides that, once you can maintain your status as a Sparring Partner in the academy, your home planet can also receive some blessings, such as obtaining some high-level Planetary Protection Arrays and the like.”

“Furthermore, if the ability you demonstrate later is strong enough, you can even transition from a Sparring Partner to a Formal Student. Of course, this possibility isn't very high; the requirements in this regard are extremely strict.”

“In short, my suggestion is not to give up such a good opportunity.”

“But ultimately, whether you are willing to go or not is up to you. I can give you three days to consider.”

Listening to the Silver Dragon City Lord's words,

Li Fan couldn't help but nod slightly.

Hearing it this way, it seemed it wasn't unacceptable.

Being able to go to such a place to see the geniuses of the universe and also enjoy some resources—this condition was actually not bad.

Especially the last point.

If he performed well, he could also transition into a Formal Student.

If that was the case,

For Li Fan, it was almost no different from going directly as a Formal Student.

Because Li Fan still had a lot of confidence in his own strength!

Immediately,

Li Fan directly gave his choice,

“City Lord Senior, I've made up my mind. I am willing to go.”

Upon receiving this answer, the Silver Dragon City Lord was truly very satisfied and nodded, saying,

“You won't regret this choice.”

“But before you go, I want to know some specific information about you in reality, such as your name and age.”

“In terms of strength, you definitely pass, but to be a Sparring Partner, your age cannot exceed one hundred years.”

To this,

Li Fan didn't hide anything further and told his basic information truthfully.

Upon hearing that Li Fan's actual age was truly only in his early twenties, the Silver Dragon City Lord couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.

With this talent, he even felt there was a slight chance of him becoming a Formal Student from a Sparring Partner!

However, this thought only existed in his mind for an instant before being dismissed.

If Li Fan's talent were placed in their Tianlan Star Domain, it would indeed be very good.

But if looked at across the entire Wushan Seat, it was still a bit insufficient.

Those who could become Formal Students of Huangchen Academy, besides having great talent themselves, also had extraordinary backgrounds, so their starting point for cultivation was higher than most people's.

“In that case, prepare yourself. In half a month, gather at the City Lord's Manor Square in Silver Dragon Central City. Someone will come to pick you all up then.”

“Understood. Then this junior will take his leave!”
