The opening ceremony of Donghai Martial Arts Academy was much simpler compared to the opening ceremonies of prestigious universities in the secular world.
The opening ceremony of Donghai Martial Arts Academy was held at the martial arts field.
Besides the new cohort of students, only the Dean, Ren Xiaoyao, attended the opening ceremony.
The new students, including Su Qiang, stood in a line on the martial arts field. Ren Xiaoyao, standing at the entrance of the martial arts field with his back to Jiang Zhan's statue, began his opening ceremony speech.
"Children, I am very happy that you can become new members of the Donghai Martial Arts Academy family, and I am honored to be your dean. Welcome!"
Ren Xiaoyao started his speech, then gestured with his hand to stop Su Qiang and the other new students from applauding him, and continued speaking.
"Perhaps when you chose to become martial artists, you did not know the meaning of martial artists in this era—you embarked on the path of martial arts for various reasons. Da Feng Novel Network.
But after you passed the admission tests of Donghai Martial Arts Academy, institutions from all over the Ministry of Martial Arts sent people to talk to you, informing you of the hidden crises in this world, and telling you that by joining Donghai Martial Arts Academy, you are destined to join the Ministry of Martial Arts in the future and shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Dragon Country.
After careful consideration, you made your choice and came here. I am happy for your choice.
As I said just now, you already know the hidden crises in this world, but you may not know that extraterrestrial martial artists have not descended upon this planet for twelve years."
"Ah—"
This time, as Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, the new students, including Su Qiang, exclaimed in surprise.
As Ren Xiaoyao said, they did not know this.
This was a secret of the Ministry of Martial Arts, and also a secret of the God of War Hall. Not to mention them, even many martial arts powers were unaware of this.
"Dean, why?"
After the exclamation, someone asked the question that was in everyone's mind.
"That's a good question, and it's what I'm going to tell you next."
Ren Xiaoyao spoke again, then turned and pointed to Jiang Zhan's statue, "You should have paid respects to this statue, and you are not unfamiliar with the deeds of the owner of this statue.
His name is Jiang Zhan, the most outstanding student and teacher since the establishment of Donghai Martial Arts Academy, the hero of Dragon Country's Ministry of Martial Arts, and the pride of Dragon Country's martial arts community!
He led the soldiers and guarded Loulan Ancient City for eight years, killing countless enemies. He is the person who has killed the most extraterrestrial enemies on this planet!
Twelve years ago, extraterrestrial enemies launched their largest invasion in history.
Jiang Zhan led three thousand Loulan soldiers and fought bravely.
In that battle, all the Loulan warriors, including Jiang Zhan, died on the battlefield, none surviving.
In that battle, Jiang Zhan perished along with the leader of the extraterrestrial enemy army.
After that battle, extraterrestrial martial artists were no longer found in the major landing sites of extraterrestrial martial artists globally, including Loulan Ancient City!"
Ren Xiaoyao paused here and said, "Although countries worldwide, including Dragon Country's Ministry of Martial Arts, have not yet clarified the reasons, they all believe that this outcome was caused by the great battle twelve years ago.
Jiang Zhan and the three thousand Loulan soldiers protected this country and this world with their blood and lives, winning a rare and temporary peace!
Well, you heard me correctly.
Peace is only temporary!
Countries around the world believe that extraterrestrial enemies will return!
We cannot predict when the extraterrestrial enemies will appear next time, but when they do, Dragon Country and this world will face greater crises and more brutal wars! Da Feng Novel.
Children, be ready at all times!
This is what countries around the world are doing, and it is the last thing I have to say to you at the opening ceremony!"
Silence.
After hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, almost all the new students of Donghai Martial Arts Academy, including Su Qiang, fell silent.
They were shocked and moved by the deeds of Jiang Zhan and the three thousand Loulan soldiers, and felt a lump in their throats.
Similarly, they deeply felt the heavy responsibility on their shoulders—future wars would be even more brutal!
Only Wang Zhisheng was an exception.
There was no solemnity or emotion on his face, only sarcasm.
As a member of the Wang family, entering Donghai Martial Arts Academy was merely a stepping stone for him. He never thought of going to the battlefield to protect his country.
Even, as an extreme egoist, Wang Zhisheng believed that those who fought desperately on the battlefield, like Jiang Zhan, were cannon fodder, even brainless fools!
"Alright, the opening ceremony is now concluded. Next, you will have your first class at Donghai Martial Arts Academy."
Amidst the silence of Su Qiang and the others, Ren Xiaoyao ended his speech at the opening ceremony and cast his gaze towards a corner outside the martial arts field.
In the corner, Jiang Wuming had just finished listening to Ren Xiaoyao's speech. Seeing Ren Xiaoyao's gaze, he immediately stepped towards the martial arts field.
Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao left directly without waiting for Jiang Wuming to approach.
He did not intend to introduce Jiang Wuming to Su Qiang and the other new students. Instead, he left the time and space to Jiang Wuming, letting Jiang Wuming handle it himself.
"Wow, is that Jiang Zhan's son, Jiang Wuming?"
"It is Jiang Wuming. What is he doing here?"
"Is he also a new student in this cohort?"
"I heard that guy is an eight-star martial artist. If he's in the same class as us, won't he crush us?"
…
On the martial arts field, the new students looked in Ren Xiaoyao's direction, saw Jiang Wuming approaching, and clearly recognized his appearance. A stir erupted.
Not long ago, the battle between the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall and Liu Xin had shaken the martial arts world of Dragon Country and even the entire world!
All the new students had paid attention to that battle and knew its cause—the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall specifically challenged Liu Xin to a death match to stand up for Jiang Wuming, and crushed and killed Liu Xin across realms with the cultivation of a one-star God of War!
Afterward, Jiang Wuming's background was revealed, and he was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.
The new students knew his background, and had even looked at his photos specifically. At this moment, they recognized him at a glance.
Amidst the discussions and curious gazes of the numerous new students, Jiang Wuming walked step by step onto the martial arts field, standing in the position Ren Xiaoyao had just occupied, with his back to his father Jiang Zhan's statue!
At this moment, Jiang Wuming felt an inexplicable pressure.
He did not know if the pressure came from Ren Xiaoyao's previous words or from the statue of his father behind him.
At the same time, including Su Qiang, all the new students quieted down, looking at Jiang Wuming with confusion.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Wuming, and I am a visiting professor at Donghai Martial Arts Academy. Next, I will be giving you your first class."
Jiang Wuming steadied himself, cast aside his chaotic thoughts, and spoke slowly.
Visiting professor?
He's going to teach us?
As Jiang Wuming's words fell, almost all the new students were stunned.
They had just discussed the reason for Jiang Wuming's appearance, speculated that Jiang Wuming might be a new student in this cohort like them, and never imagined that Jiang Wuming would become their teacher and give them a class!
"What qualifications do you have to be our teacher?"
Just then, a voice broke the silence of the martial arts field.
Wang Zhisheng questioned Jiang Wuming with a mocking expression!
…
