"Let's meet then. There are some things I need to ask you about."
Du Shaomu nodded and told Xiaohu to wait in the courtyard before leaving with the teaching assistant.
On the way, Du Shaomu heard from the assistant, that his name was Su Yue, and he was also a student of World College. After graduation, he stayed in the academy to become an assistant professor.
The academy was very large. The six great academies and two major subsidiary branches were scattered throughout the academy, and along the way, he could see quite a few students.
"This batch of new students entered the World College just three months ago. There's a total of twenty thousand people, and originally, they were trained in batches, but this time, quite a few new students and instructors, and even quite a few teachers in the academy have lost out."
Su Yue informed Du Shaomu, and his expression turned serious, as he was also furious that someone had actually attacked World College.
"Twenty thousand …" Du Shaomu raised his eyes slightly.
"Back then, it was said that when the academy was at its peak, there would be over a hundred thousand new students per batch. Now, however, there's barely twenty thousand students."
Su Yue exclaimed. Back then, when World College was at its most famous time, there was an endless stream of students seeking knowledge.
At that time, the student recruitment requirement of the academy was far higher than it was now. However, those who could pass the examination numbered over a hundred thousand.
In those years, who knew how many heaven warping youths had entered the World College, and was proud to have done so as well.
As for the World College's freshmen assessment, it could be said that quite a few requirements had been lowered, but the number of people inside was far from what it had been before.
And the freshmen who were able to pass the test, were only close to twenty thousand.
It could be said that regardless of whether it was in terms of numbers or talent, the current freshmen could not be compared with the high fame of the World College back then.
"This should be related to the other forces within the Wild Domain."
Du Shaomu said calmly as he looked around with interest.
"That's right."
Su Yue was a little surprised, but he did not think much of it. He continued to inform Du Shaomu.
The number of new students and talent in the World College was getting lower and lower, and it was indeed related to the other strengths in the Wild Domain.
And the forces that most directly affected the World College were those two families, three sects, three sects, and eight forces.
These eight powers could be said to have robbed quite a few talented youngsters over the years.
A few young people with extraordinary talents would easily come from great powers to begin with.
After all, there was an absolute foundation within a large power. From the time they were born to the time they were born, the children of large families and people from large powers were nurtured. Naturally, ordinary people would not be able to compare with them.
Furthermore, as the reputation of their World College fell short, some young people, after weighing the pros and cons, chose to join two families, three sects, and three sects, these eight great powers.
The World College was a teaching and nurturing method, and never participated in the competition for the Wild Domain. Even though he had some advantages, if he counted them all, it was far inferior to the benefits he would get from joining the eight great forces.
Besides, some young people with decent talent had long since been targeted by the eight great powers, and the benefits promised by them were not ordinary. This was something that World College could not compare with.
With every generation that passed, it was as if there were a chain reaction. Today, the World College was deteriorating.
The two chatted all the way to the great hall of the academy. The huge courtyard was simple and unadorned, with mottled traces of the baptism of time, surrounded by an ancient scent.
The entire academy was filled with the scent of books, giving one the feeling of being able to calm their hearts and minds for no reason.
Su Yue let Du Shaomu into the main hall, saying that the dean was waiting.
As for his identity as an associate master teacher, he wasn't qualified to enter the main hall.1
whoosh whoosh … *
As Du Shaomu walked into the main hall, everyone's gazes were immediately filled with curiosity and astonishment. They all looked at Du Shaomu to size him up.
There was no lack of eyes and obscure aura, as if wanting to see through Du Shaomu.
After all, it was said that he had killed Dai Hu's only son, Dai Shiwan, and even said that he had killed a Bloodknife Sect expert with a Bloodknife Sect. This caused the Academy Expert in the great hall to be extremely curious.
Du Shaomu slowly walked into the hall with a calm expression.
Sweeping his gaze around, Du Shaomu spotted Ni Huanhuan, Yu Tao, Teacher Huang, and Teacher Meng. All four of them were familiar figures. Du Shaomu's gaze then fell on an elderly man sitting at the head seat of the great hall.
From Su Yue's words, Du Shaomu had already guessed the identity of this old man: the current principal of World College Academy, Mo Hongru.
It was said that Mo Hongru had been in control of the World College for over a hundred years. Although his World College was no longer as it used to be, he could still be considered a character who could be considered to be trembling with each stomp of his feet.
Standing in the middle of the hall, pairs of eyes looked around. Du Shaomu was calm and composed, standing with his hands behind his back. He was tall and straight, giving off the feeling of a mature youth.
"Mu Shaodu, this is the Principal of World College."
Ni Huanhuan introduced him and said to Du Shaomu.
"Got it."
Du Shaomu nodded. He was still calm and had no intention of greeting him.
"There really are some …" "It's special."
Many Academy Expert in the hall were muttering, looking extremely interested.
At the start, the experts in the courtyard had heard about how arrogant this youth was.
It is indeed true that I have witnessed it with my own eyes.
Not to mention facing the Principal of the World College, even if it was any of the academy's teachers in the great hall, the experts of the eight forces would have to give them some face.
But now, this kind of young man was completely indifferent when facing the World College's Headmaster, which caused everyone to pay more attention to him.
Almost everyone present was an old man from the academy. What they had done all their lives was to educate and educate people, and their eyes were especially sharp.
Someone's eyes moved. This kind of youth seemed to be filled with arrogance, but to be able to remain so calm and collected while facing a group of World College experts and directors, this was indeed a little special.
Not to mention that although this youth gave off the feeling that he was extremely arrogant and conceited, in truth, he had never displayed any arrogance from the start to the end. Instead, he gave others a deep and majestic feeling of confidence.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Mo Hongru's eyes were secretly surprised. Smiling slightly, he said to Du Shaomu: "I am Mo Hongru, the current principal of World College. I represent World College here and thank this young man for protecting my academy's new students."
"It's just something I've been entrusted with." Du Shaomu said.
Mo Hongru's gaze slightly moved as he continued to ask: "I heard that little friend's name is Mu Shaodu. I heard that little friend's name is Mu Shaodu, and he is very young, and must have an extraordinary background, but there doesn't seem to be anyone with the surname 'Mu' in the Wild Domain. I wonder where little friend comes from?"
"There's no need to investigate my origins. Even if I did, you wouldn't know."
Du Shaomu replied to Mo Hongru calmly.
