Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Today, as you join the Xiaoshanhe Institute and become disciples under me, this is a momentous occasion!"

Xiao Yi slowly began, his voice clear and resonant like a thunderclap on a sunny day, the reverberating thunder striking every ear.

It echoed over the vast Imperial Dragon Mountain.

All eyes fixed intently on Xiao Yi, unblinking, carefully listening to every word he spoke.

Xiao Yi's voice became ever more tranquil, yet the authority in his words grew increasingly powerful, "I believe that many of you must have heard of the Xiaoshanhe Institute before this."

The crowd nodded.

"Go on, tell me, what is the Xiaoshanhe Institute like in your minds?" Xiao Yi asked.

The crowd exchanged glances, at a loss for words.

Amidst the people,

Jin Feiyan, always the lively one and rather brazen, blurted out, "Trash! What I've heard the most is that if you don't make an effort, you'll end up in the Xiaoshanhe Institute..."

The crowd: "..."

Ye Heng glared fiercely at her.

Jin Feiyan had a aggrieved look on her face, "Brother, I'm not wrong!"

"Hahaha, Fei Yan is correct. Once, in the eyes of everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Xiaoshanhe Institute was nothing more than a trash bin. Only those who were rejected by the top ten sects and the four major families would come to the Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

Xiao Yi was frank, and his words made the faces of those who had already been in the Xiaoshanhe Institute grow somewhat solemn.

Just as Xiao Yi had said…@@novelbin@@

When they first entered the Xiaoshanhe Institute, there were not any tests to speak of.

Anyone who came to sign up could join straight away.

There were even some ordinary people who had not reached the Physical Body Realm; as long as they paid a certain amount of money, they could enter the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

Bearing the identity of a disciple from the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

That was a disgrace!

During that shameful period, everyone was reluctant to admit they were disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute out in the world.

Xiao Yi's tone shifted, his voice growing more uplifting, "Those days are gone!"

"Hmm?"

The crowd suddenly looked up.

With each word he spoke, it was as if he could strike the deepest chord in their souls, "From now on, being a disciple of the Xiaoshanhe Institute will no longer be a mark of disgrace. You can stand tall and proud, you can tell anyone loudly that you are from the Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

The crowd's breathing began to grow rapid.

"From now on, the identity of a disciple of the Xiaoshanhe Institute will be a glory, will be the highest radiance. When everyone knows your identity, they will no longer scorn and mock but envy and look up to you. The identity of a Xiaoshanhe Institute disciple will also become synonymous with the strong, with genius!"

Xiao Yi's voice was high-spirited, his gaze cutting through the crowd like a knife edge, thunderous and resounding, he asked like a thunderclap from a clear sky, "Do you want to be trash?"

"No... we don't!"

The crowd's response was somewhat intermittent, somewhat disordered.

"Do you wish to become a disgrace?"

"We do not!"

The crowd's voice became much more unified.

"Do you want to become stronger?"

"We do!"

This time nearly seventy percent of the people started shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Do you want to stand equal with, or even surpass, the disciples of the top ten sects?"

"We do!"

"I dream of it!"

Almost all the disciples were screaming hysterically.

Among them were former disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute and also those commoners who had hit walls at the top ten sects, without money or influence, until the opportunity from Xiaoshanhe Institute finally gave them a path to rise.

In this moment...

The fighting spirit that had been dormant within them for years, their edges worn down by reality,

Were simultaneously ignited by Xiao Yi!

"Xiaoshanhe Institute once experienced glory, and it also fell into decline..."

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly deepened, then rose high, like a person's heartbeat, causing everyone's breathing to become rapid at times and deep at others, "I will lead you, lead Xiaoshanhe Institute to a new era of splendor, to surpass the past. Would you trust me?"

Boom!

The faces of the crowd turned red, even those strong individuals from the Beast Emperor City stretched their necks at that moment, their veins pulsing: "Believe! Believe! Believe!"

Roars shook the heavens.

Echoing through the sky!

The rolling sound waves surged like pillars, rushing towards the heavens, forcefully scattering the clouds above the sky.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yi's lips, revealing a look of satisfaction.

Before this...

Their sense of belonging to Xiaoshanhe Institute wasn't strong, but now, Xiao Yi had planted a seed in everyone's heart.

As long as this seed took root and sprouted, grew strong.

It would surely become a towering tree in the future!

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Xiao Yi looked towards Shadow Demon, Li Youruo, Yu Huaxian, and others, and said solemnly, "Effective immediately, our Xiaoshanhe Institute will no longer be just about instructors and students. All instructors will be divided into Elders and Deacons based on strength and contributions, and all students will be collectively known as disciples, also divided into levels based on your cultivation and contributions!"

"What? Divided into levels?"

"Elders and Deacons? How is that to be divided?"

"Disciples are also based on cultivation and contributions? What exactly does that mean?"

Everyone's hearts were filled with both anticipation and hesitation.

Before this...

The amount of resources every disciple at Xiaoshanhe Institute received was completely up to the instructors.

If you were in good terms with your instructor, you naturally received more resources.

If you were someone without backing, like Ye Heng previously, and not favored by your instructor, you might not even receive a single silver.

"From the first to the third realm of the Golden Core Realm, you will be One-Star Deacons, from the fourth to the sixth you are Two-Star, and from the seventh to the ninth, you are Three-Star Deacons. The Tao Tribulation Realm will be Elders, also divided into three stars. Those strong in the Dharma Manifestation Realm will be Hall Masters, entitled to a throne!"

Xiao Yi continued, "As for the disciples, those below the Shentong Realm will be up to Three-Star, Golden Core Realm from four to six stars, Tao Tribulation Realm from Seven to Nine-Star disciples. Dharma Manifestation Realm disciples will be True Disciples, and the top-ranking True Disciple will be the Saint Heir! Whether instructors or disciples, from this moment on, you will enjoy the appropriate level of benefits. Those who join Xiaoshanhe Institute in the future, in addition to cultivation requirements, will also need to accumulate points in order to rise in level!"

Hiss!

All the strong ones looked at each other for a moment.

The instructors present were almost all above the Golden Core Realm, meaning they were at least One-Star Deacons.

If they were to join Xiaoshanhe Institute in the future, in addition to fulfilling the requirements of cultivation, they would also need to accumulate points. This clearly favored those currently present, and everyone accepted this without objections.

After all...

Those still here could rightly be called the veterans!

Ye Heng stepped forward and said solemnly, "Master, what is meant by 'Hall Master'?"

All eyes turned to Xiao Yi.

This 'Hall Master' he just mentioned was someone who could enjoy the honor of a throne!

Their gazes fell upon the ten silver thrones shimmering beside Xiao Yi, their eyes turning envious for a moment.

To be able to sit upon a silver throne at Xiao Yi's side.

That would be a supreme honor!

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth curved slightly as he said, "From this moment on, our Xiaoshanhe Institute will be divided into five halls. These five halls will be the Punishment Hall, in charge of law enforcement; the Skill Transmission Hall, in charge of cultivation technique inheritance and the management of the scripture vaults; the All Things Hall managing resource distribution; the War Hall in charge of external campaigns; and the Task Hall responsible for the distribution of disciples' tasks and point tallying."

The Punishment Hall was the internal law enforcement system.

The Skill Transmission Hall was responsible for teaching cultivation techniques and secret manuals, and the strong individuals in this hall must be skilled in guiding cultivation.

The All Things Hall was essentially the previous accounting office.

The War Hall would inevitably be the location of the strongest military force in the future.

The Task Hall was for points and task coordination; in Xiao Yi's vision for the reformed Xiaoshanhe Institute to function smoothly, this Task Hall was crucial.

For a moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi, awaiting the announcement of the chosen masters for each hall...
