Soul Devouring Sword Master

On the other side, Xu Yan was still in a state of confusion. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with joy, "Lin Xiao, have you really decided to join my Fire Academy?"

"Yes, Lin Xiao pays homage to the dean." Then, Lin Xiao smiled and bowed.

"Haha..." Xu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, ecstatic, walked in front of Lin Xiao, patted his shoulder, his eyes shining, "Lin Xiao, on behalf of the entire Fire Academy, I would like to express my gratitude to you. From now on, if you have any needs, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

It has to be said that Lin Xiao's willingness to join the Fire Academy really surprised Xu Yan, but he was more moved. With Lin Xiao's qualifications, it would be better for him to join any academy than the Fire Academy, but he still resolutely chose the Fire Academy. Although he didn't know whether it was because of his words, he still thanked Lin Dan from the bottom of his heart

"Thank you, dean." Lin Xiao smiled faintly.

In fact, there are two main reasons why Lin Xiao chose the Fire Academy. The first is that Xue Yang is the instructor of the Fire Academy. On that day in Dark Star City, Xue Yang risked his life to save him and helped him resist Nangong Jie. Lin Xiao must repay his life-saving grace. Secondly, when Dugu Hong was making things difficult for him, Xu Yan helped him a lot, and Lin Xiao had a good impression of him, so Lin Xiao joined the Fire Academy.

Lin Xiao did not care much about cultivation resources. He had hands and feet and could fight for them on his own. Moreover, he had a lot of resources at hand now.

Xu Yan patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't call me Dean in the future, just call me Uncle Xu."

"Uncle Xu." Lin Xiao said without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Xiao's generous personality, Xu Yan was even more happy, and the more he looked at Lin Xiao, the more he liked him.

The other deans saw this, although they were a little disappointed, but they still sincerely congratulated Xu Yan.

"Lin Xiao, you are gifted, you will shine wherever you go. Practice hard and bring honor to our entire Sword-Wen Academy in the future." The three deans said with a smile.

Lin Xiao nodded, "Thank you, deans. I will."

Then the deans left, and Xu Yan took Lin Xiao back to the enrollment point.

Somewhere, a pair of eyes stared at Lin Xiao's back, full of cold murderous intent. This person was naturally Dugu Hong.

"Humph, Lin Xiao, you are really stupid. Among the four colleges, you chose the worst one. But it doesn't matter. No matter which college you enter, I will not let you have an easy time!" Dugu Hong's eyes were stern, and he turned around and left.

Soon, a period of time passed, and the enrollment came to an end.

Basically, all the disciples were assigned to the branch.

Among the one thousand freshmen, four hundred were assigned to the Vajra Academy, two hundred were assigned to the Qingmu Academy, Binglian Academy and Diling Academy each recruited one hundred and fifty, and the Fire Academy had only one hundred freshmen.

The news that Lin Xiao joined the Fire Academy sparked a heated discussion among the freshmen. Many people couldn't understand why Lin Xiao did this. With his qualifications, every branch would definitely want him, but he chose to go to the Fire Academy, which had always been at the bottom.

However, as time went by, this matter soon faded away.

After joining the Fire Academy, Lin Xiao, led by a senior brother, came to a pavilion area, and the two came to one of the pavilions.

The pavilion has two floors, and the interior is gorgeously decorated, spacious and comfortable, but many places are covered with dust, and even spider webs, which seems to have been uninhabited for a long time.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was a little confused, the senior brother explained, "In fact, the original Fire Academy was not as desolate as it is now. A few decades ago, the Fire Academy was the leader of the five academies, and it was even stronger than the current Vajra Academy. More than 70% of the freshmen were scrambling to get into the Fire Academy. At that time, the Fire Academy was really unparalleled and extremely glorious."

"Why is it like this now?" Lin Xiao asked puzzledly.

The senior brother sighed and continued, "More than a decade ago, the Fire Dean Fenmie colluded with the Royal Academy and stole the unique skills of the sect. Fortunately, the elders discovered it in time and stopped it. Fenmie was also severely punished, his cultivation was abolished, and he was expelled from the sect. As for the Fire Academy, it also suffered. The chief dean was furious and disbanded the Fire Academy. The Fire Academy disciples were incorporated into the other four academies, and the Fire Academy existed in name only."

"Later, with the change of the chief dean, the elders proposed to rebuild the Fire Academy. Unfortunately, the rebuilt Fire Academy could no longer reproduce its former glory. More than a decade later, it has been ranked last among the five academies and it is difficult to turn over. These pavilions have been left, but there have been few students in recent years, so many places have been uninhabited all year round."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It turned out that the Fire Academy had such a tortuous history. It can't be considered Xu Yan's fault.

The Fire Academy is newly built now, and the foundation is too weak. Many things have to start from scratch. The other four academies have been passed down for nearly a hundred years. In comparison, the Fire Academy is naturally much worse in terms of foundation.

"Junior Brother Lin, you will live here in the future. I will find someone to help you clean up." The senior brother said.

"No need, senior brother, I can clean it by myself. Please take me here. Thank you for your hard work."

The senior brother smiled and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder. "You are welcome, Junior Brother Lin, you are the first freshman. It is really a waste of talent to come to our Fire Academy. When we heard that you were here, many people in the academy were very happy. Everyone is waiting for you to grow up quickly and lead us to return the Fire Academy to the peak. Junior Brother Lin, come on!"

"I'll try my best." Lin Xiao smiled and touched his nose. He was unable to adapt to such a heavy responsibility that he was suddenly pressed down.

"Well, Senior Brother will leave first. Come to me anytime if you have any trouble in the future."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

After seeing his senior brother off, Lin Xiao began to clean up. Two hours later, the entire building was brand new.

Then, Lin Xiao came to the second floor, opened the window, and leaned out to look down at the surroundings.
