In Henry Clark’s memory, the Cangqin Two-Star Academy was enormous. Because the original Henry Clark didn’t come here often and even felt some aversion toward the Cangqin Two-Star Academy, the memories Henry Clark now possessed were rather vague. Only after following Julia Foster to the Cangqin Two-Star Academy did he realize why this academy was the number one power in the Cangqin Kingdom.

The Cangqin Two-Star Academy somewhat resembled Western castle architecture, and its grounds were indeed vast beyond measure. Expanses of woods and spell technique fields looked extremely grand from afar. Henry Clark was quite familiar with the imperial city of Cangqin Kingdom, and he was certain that the imperial city was not as impressive as this Two-Star Academy.

Standing at the academy’s entrance, Henry Clark could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here was much denser than elsewhere.

In front of the academy’s main gate was a massive square spanning several hundred zhang in all directions, and in the center of the square stood an enormous arena.

Seeing Henry Clark staring at the gigantic arena, Julia Foster said calmly, “That’s the dueling platform. If cultivators at the academy have grudges, disputes, or want to gamble, they can settle it on the dueling platform, even to the death. There wasn’t a dueling platform here before, but since all academies above three stars have such platforms, the Cangqin Two-Star Academy built this one to strive for three-star status.”

After speaking, Julia Foster turned back and reminded Henry Clark, “In the future, when you’re helping out in the cultivation room, try not to come out, and don’t make enemies or cause trouble. Otherwise, once you get on the dueling platform, it’s very hard to get off.”

Henry Clark asked in confusion, “If someone challenges me to a duel, can’t I just refuse?”

“No, you can’t.” Julia Foster’s answer was even more succinct this time. After speaking, she didn’t wait for Henry Clark to ask further and had already entered the academy’s main gate.

Henry Clark had just followed Julia Foster into the academy when a clear voice sounded in his ears, “…Cangqin Two-Star Academy will select ten disciples to participate in the selection for Huazhou Meteor Star Five-Star Academy…”

Julia Foster acted as if she hadn’t heard it, but Henry Clark nearly stumbled. It was the sound of a broadcast—he was certain he hadn’t misheard. This was definitely a broadcast.

“What are you standing there for?” Julia Foster saw Henry Clark standing there in a daze and turned to ask.

“Is that a broadcast?” Henry Clark stood rooted to the spot, muttering to himself. It felt as if he had returned to the place he once lived. If this wasn’t Earth, where would a broadcast come from?

This was a magical place, where one could cultivate and perform all sorts of spells. But if Henry Clark had to choose, he’d rather still be on Earth. At least there, he had his younger sister—a family member was there.

“Of course it’s a broadcast…” Julia Foster saw Henry Clark muttering to himself and couldn’t help but reply helplessly. The broadcast formation at Cangqin Two-Star Academy hadn’t been introduced for long. Since the academy was applying to join the ranks of three-star academies, not only did their strength need to improve, but their facilities as well.

The dueling platform outside the academy was built for this reason, and the broadcast formation was also established at great expense by inviting a formation master from Huazhou. Not only that, but the academy also sold sound jades. The sound jades of Cangqin Two-Star Academy could broadcast news from most of Pingzhou, and the transmission of sound from these jades was also constructed through various sound transmission formations.

“Where did this bumpkin come from? Doesn’t even know about sound domain formations.” A long-haired male student walked past Henry Clark and Julia Foster, and after overhearing their conversation, sneered with disdain.

Henry Clark now understood that the broadcasts here weren’t transmitted by electricity, but by other means. Just as he was about to respond to the mockery, Julia Foster tugged his hand and said, “Ignore them, let’s go.”

“So it’s you—turns out it’s ugly Ji.” The male student had already recognized Julia Foster and continued to mock her without restraint.

Julia Foster’s expression remained calm, not showing the slightest ripple, as if the ridicule wasn’t directed at her at all. Henry Clark suppressed his inner anger and let Julia Foster pull him away. He knew that with his current cultivation, if a conflict broke out, he’d almost certainly be instantly defeated.

“William Carter really is useless, can’t even beat such an ugly freak.” After Julia Foster and Henry Clark left, the person behind them still sneered. His intention was obvious—to provoke Julia Foster.

Henry Clark could sense that Julia Foster was forcibly suppressing her anger. At that moment, Henry Clark almost couldn’t resist turning back to give that mocking guy a beating.

“His name is David Miller, third level of Qi Gathering, his cultivation is even higher than mine.” Julia Foster explained in a calm voice.

Henry Clark said nothing. He knew that with insufficient strength, any words were pointless, and Julia Foster’s words were a reminder. If he became strong enough, then David Miller wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant in front of him. He kept wondering who this William Carter was. From David Miller’s words, it seemed Julia Foster had fought William Carter before. He wondered if the injuries Julia Foster had before were because of this.

The Cangqin Two-Star Academy covered a vast area. Henry Clark knew that Julia Foster brought him here for the sake of his life. So he thought Julia Foster would surely find a secluded place for him to stay, but unexpectedly, Julia Foster brought him to an ancient, solid, tower-shaped building.
