The former two are public institutions that have existed prior to this year, but in response to the Alliance's call, both academies expanded several times over in size, adding numerous new campuses and Miracle Buildings, including the affiliate first-class junior college of Lakehaven Lake.
This month, Tianze City Academy has welcomed more and more people.
There are exceptional 'Greenhand Professionals' from various places; there are professionals who wish to participate in the independent recruitment of Lakehaven Academy and Great Lake Academy; and then there are some students sent by the Lords, ready to further their study and training here.
There were also some people who were different from the previous three groups; this batch of people looked extraordinary and each of them appeared to be an expert.
They are strong contenders from various territories and cities who wish to apply for teaching positions at Lakehaven Academy.
The treatment of instructors here is first-class.
Officials provided quite attractive benefits to lure the experts sent by the Lords, and the Tianze City officials further increased these incentives.
For this reason, the strong contenders applying for teaching positions at Lakehaven Academy are endless.
In the past half a month, the number has reached its peak.
"It's said that it's because the Red Mist tide in Nanyong began to recede, and the frontline battles have essentially ended, so the Lords' subordinates have the time to come here to apply for instructor positions and train," Irene said.
She and Sophia are best friends, so she naturally knows more about some non-secret information.
Hong Yi waves her hand, indicating that she doesn't care about these things; she's only concerned about when the recruitment exam will start so that she can get it over with and rest sooner.
Irene said, "In the past, the instructor recruitment exam at Lakehaven Academy took place once every seven days, but due to the increase in people this time, it's held every three days. Since I have some free time today, I'll take the others to the junior college to register and handle the procedure first."
Hong Yi: "Whatever works."
Hong Yi, Irene, and their group consisted of dozens of people, but the vast majority of these individuals were just ordinary students coming here to learn and further their education.
They were talented individuals with sharp minds and excellent past performance, diligently selected by Great Lord Shepherd from the citizens of Tianyuan City.
Such 'study abroad' opportunities were quite rare.
Once they return from their studies, they will become the first batch of core technical experts of Tianyuan City.
The ones who were truly preparing to apply for instructor positions were only Irene, Hong Yi, Zhou Yi, and Sanghun—just four people.
There's no need to say more about Irene; although she's not very competent in combat, she's at least stronger than Daisy, and her theoretical experience is exceptionally rich. Besides, being a Fourth-order Peak, Epic One Star strongwoman, she couldn't be considered weak.
Hong Yi was the strongest of the four, only half a step away from stepping into the Legendary Realm.
In fact, upon coming here, Hong Yi planned to break through to the Legendary Realm in Tianze City.
The ceremonial venues in Tianze City were very high-end, and it's even rumored that there were Epic Grade cultivation buildings. Most importantly, as an instructor at Tianze Advanced College, one could use the Legendary breakthrough venues for free and buy materials at a hugely discounted price.
This was how Tianze City attracted the strong.
Breaking through to the Legendary Realm would naturally be a breeze for Hong Yi here. Where else to break through if not here? However, she needed to be incredibly cautious about evolving, but with Hong Yi having reached the Epic Three Stars rank, she couldn't evolve further in the short term.
Zhou Yi was the second-strongest in the Arrow of Polar Star, a late Four-order, Epic Two Stars adept.
He did not possess the same level of mental talents as Seventeen but was a notch above her in archery skills.
Sanghun, on the other hand, was a strong contender among the Ghost Leaders series, holding the rank of Epic One Star, albeit his path was different from Rakshasa's or Hong Yi's.
Sanghun was neither proficient in Evil Spirits power nor in Illusion Technique.
During his Evil Spirits and Ghost General phases, he was at best just a somewhat prominent figure. Later, Sanghun encountered his own fortune and experienced mutations during his evolution.
He still was a Ghost Leader but acquired a special Epic Skill.
"Description: Sanghun can lock onto and link with a certain individual and return the damage received to that target with several times the force when he is injured."
But Shared Fate was not just about synchronizing damage; it could also sync some profound experiences.
Sanghun, thus, leveraged this to gain a powerful learning ability, and he has now become a formidable figure among the Ghost Leaders, just behind Big Brother Rakshasa and Sister Hong Yi as the self-proclaimed Third Ghost.
Irene, Hong Yi, and the four of them came to Lakehaven Academy and were led straight to the venue for the application assessment—a Miracle Building of the Excellence rank—by the staff.
There were already quite a few people gathered here.
There were instructors who had already passed the assessment; powerful figures who responded to lucrative recruitment; candidates preparing for the application; and even spectators who were simply there for the curiosity of it;
However, to be among the spectators within Lakehaven Academy, one had to at least have some connections or ways in.
In the distance, a Fourth-order Peak Strongman was announcing the rules.
"The rules for the instructor assessment are quite simple," he said.
"First, strong contenders who are named on the Dragon Gate Ranking will be recruited by our Lakehaven Academy unconditionally, without any assessment required. The higher the ranking on the list, the more benefits and treatments one can enjoy," he explained.
"Second, one must last at last sixty seconds within our Lakehaven Academy's self-developed 'Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation'."
"Third, one must have a specialist-level certification of proficiency recognized by the Alliance."
Needless to say, Hong Yi and the rest didn't have that.
Certifications required examination, besides, Tianyuan City was in dire need of technical talents, and what they mainly wanted to obtain for free here was precisely those skills.
On the Dragon Gate Ranking, their names did not appear either.
