Chapter 5258: The Heaven-Defying Fate Change of Qingyun Academy

"This… we can't refuse any of them." Old Ancestor Qingyun sighed. "How can we refuse now? They are all taking the initiative to show goodwill. If we refuse, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to them?!"

"But… Old Ancestor, when you add it all up, there are over 3,000 people who want to come to our Qingyun Academy to study!" An Elder of Qingyun Academy said in a deep voice. "If we only had to host them, it would actually be fine; if we hustle, we could manage. But there are countless other young people who want to join us, and their backgrounds are not simple either. We… what should we do?!"

Once these words were spoken, the Elders of Qingyun Academy fell silent, their faces becoming increasingly gloomy.

They never dreamed that one day, when Qingyun Academy rose to prominence, they would face such a crisis.

There was no way around it.

Now, the Geniuses and Prodigies who wanted to join Qingyun Academy were practically trampling the threshold to pieces.

Every day, tens of thousands of Geniuses and Prodigies would come, clamoring to join Qingyun Academy.

It wasn't that Qingyun Academy didn't want to accept them, but rather that they simply couldn't accommodate any more.

It wasn't just because Qingyun Academy's territory was small; it was also that these Prodigies who were entering were too powerful. After they joined, what could Qingyun Academy possibly teach them?!

Should they have a Grand Elder at the eighth level of the Emperor Lord Realm teach three Prodigies at the Peak of the Emperor Lord Realm?!

The scariest part was that the total number of Prodigies at the Emperor Lord Realm who wanted to join had already reached the tens of thousands…

The star chart, the Ancient Wolf Immortal Clan, the Ancient Demon God Clan, and other top-tier factions had also reached out to Qingyun Academy, hoping to send people over to study.

These factions were top-tier forces that Qingyun Academy dared not provoke. In the past, they were the types of existences that Old Ancestor Qingyun would have been eager to suck up to.

But now, the Old Ancestors of these factions had all expressed their desire to send some Geniuses and Prodigies into Qingyun Academy to study and exchange ideas.

Did Qingyun Academy dare to refuse?!

Regarding the Ancient Wolf Immortal Clan and the Ancient Demon God Clan, whom they had offended before, if Qingyun Academy refused, wouldn't that mean breaking ties with them?

And how could Qingyun Academy refuse the Star Academy, with whom they had previously established good relations?

As for all the other major top-tier factions, Qingyun Academy dared not offend a single one of them.

But the current situation was that if Qingyun Academy didn't refuse, then Qingyun Academy itself would be the one in trouble.

"Sigh… there's no way to refuse. Let's find a way to open up some more territory; we need to do it as soon as possible." Old Ancestor Qingyun sighed and helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Um, Old Ancestor, should we contact Xiao Fan?" one of the Qingyun Academy Elders asked.

The other Elders of Qingyun Academy all nodded in agreement.

"Why contact Xiao Fan? To say that our Qingyun Academy is too busy and ask him to come back and help?!" Old Ancestor Qingyun shook his head. "For our Qingyun Academy, this is a good thing right now… If we seize the opportunity, our Qingyun Academy will soar to the skies. If we can't seize it, then it's because we are incompetent. Do you understand?!"

The group of Qingyun Academy Elders looked at each other and didn't say anything more.

In fact, they also understood that notifying Xiao Fan wouldn't change the current predicament of Qingyun Academy.

Unless they refused the goodwill of all the top-tier factions, but doing so would undoubtedly create enemies for Qingyun Academy.

It would be fine if Xiao Fan were here, but if one day Xiao Fan were no longer around, wouldn't Qingyun Academy be doomed?!

As for the reason why these people were scrambling to come to Qingyun Academy, everyone knew it in their hearts…

…

Qingyun Academy, Mountain Gate.

The formerly quiet mountain gate was now bustling with an endless stream of visitors. It was no exaggeration to say that the threshold had already been repaired three times.

"Old Ancestor! Where is Old Ancestor Qingyun? I am from Dan Ding Hall! I know Alchemy! Let me join!"

"I am also from Dan Ding Hall! I once had a chance encounter with Lord Xiao's woman! This is fate! Let me join too!"

"I am from the Green Thunder Sword Sect! I am willing to join Qingyun Academy and be loyal to Qingyun Academy!!"

"…"

The Prodigies from various major factions arrived at Qingyun Academy one after another, all fighting and scrambling to join.
