The following morning, the Shura College officially announced to the public that a big meeting would be held three days later. All the forces who were interested in talking to Zachary were invited to attend the meeting.
The Shura College had always been proud of their primary principle, that of being fair and equal to all. In order to avoid unfairness in such a situation, Imperial Level warriors from the Shura College who also wanted to attend the meeting were equally permitted to do so. Thus, they too had the opportunity of possibly being recruited into the Devil Kingdom's clans or forces for a better and more promising future. The college wouldn't prevent them from pursuing a better chance at changing their fates.
In general, this kind of grand meeting was only held once every three years in the Shura College, which offered Imperial Level warriors from the college the opportunity to enter other forces. On the one hand, it could strengthen these forces' power, as well as balance the strength among them. On the other hand, it also provided an opportunity for all the forces to interact with each other and share their most important experiences and insights. Certain warriors from such forces wanted to concentrate solely on cultivation, and the Shura College was undoubtedly the best place for doing so. Overall, these individuals could leave their forces and enter the college in order to restart the cultivation. This grand meeting would offer them a one of a kind opportunity.
That explained why the four martial colleges were so important to the four kingdoms. In addition to keeping the balance among all the forces, the four martial colleges also took charge of training talents for all the forces. That said, even the warriors of Imperial Level would be trained in one of the four martial colleges.
Last year, the Shura College had held one of these grand meetings. Theoretically, a meeting of such size and importance wasn't supposed to take place for at least another two years. In other words, it was clear that this meeting was deliberately held just for Zachary. The college had made a one-of-a-kind exception for him. Furthermore, everyone was well aware of this particular situation.
Without a doubt, nearly every force would come for Zachary in the first place. What they didn't know was that the Shura College would specially allow Imperial Level warriors who wanted to attend the meeting to do so, for the sake of fairness. In many ways, the meeting was something great for all the forces involved.
For this reason, Zachary wasn't as eye-catching as he had been when other Imperial Level warriors weren't attending. After all, the truth remained that he was still a new Imperial Level warrior himself. Although he was very talented and capable, he was inexperienced. Even if he chose to join a force, taking over certain important affairs would still be difficult for him. In comp
ster didn't show up. However, they should still have sent a representative here, at the bare minimum. I just don't see anyone from the Xuanyuan Clan. Is he really not interested whatsoever? I'm surprised," Corbin, who was sitting next to Marvin, asked, his voice curious. He obviously didn't understand how the clan master could miss out on such an opportunity.
"The Xuanyuan Clan's leader has always been a person out of the ordinary. Perhaps, in his opinion, this meeting is only to make others happy and won't bring him any personal benefits," Marvin answered with a straight face, his voice flat. Of course, he too, could only presume.
"In fact, I also don't really think that Harley is that powerful. And yet, he's so popular. That's all because those forces think highly of him," Corbin said in a displeased tone. He seemed to dislike Zachary very much. He had personally supervised and guided Brandon before the weapon refining contest's final battle. He had never expected Brandon to be defeated by Zachary though, and that left a bitter taste in his mouth. In other words, it was equivalent to humiliating him.
"Harley is indeed a rare talent in all aspects. I've never seen or heard of such a genius in the past one hundred years, or more. But there is one thing I'm curious about. Why did he suddenly burst out his strength out of nowhere when he arrived at our Shura College? He wasn't so outstanding in the Celestial College before, and I had never even heard of such a person either. It's impossible for a genius like him to have made such great achievements in just half a year. And we've all witnessed the incredibly astonishing progress he has made in just six months. This is just way too shocking and I can't wrap my mind our it all," Marvin commented with a puzzled expression as his features wrinkled in confusion. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't figure it out and it was really starting to bother him.
