X-Dragon Era-Chapter 606 - s The So-Called Honor_4

After leaving the Combat Gorge, Po Kong volunteered to summon the Emperor Sword Dragon, carrying the members of the Fantasy Dream Team towards the direction of the Great Canyon. Although everyone had their own dragons, it had to be said that in terms of riding comfort, none could surpass Po Kong's Emperor Sword Dragon.

Upon entering the Combat Gorge, Xin Yun and his party landed directly on the grandstand. This so-called grandstand was actually the peak of a colossal mountain. From its shape, it was clear the mountain must have been very tall; however, it looked as if it had been chopped off at the midsection, leaving only the lower part, which, after being refurbished, had become the grandstand.

The entire peak was quite spacious, able to accommodate up to three hundred thousand spectators for the competition. The summit was flat and arranged with rows of chairs, and at the VIP section, there were round tables and the like.

In recent times, Xin Yun had been very busy, so he didn't know much about this selection contest. However, in fact, for Mountain Sea City, this event was known a year in advance. The whole Mountain Sea City was abuzz for the academy's internal selection contest, and thus... today's competition was indeed full house.

For such an important event, the lord of Mountain Sea City, the headmaster of the Mountain Sea Academy, and the leader of the Tsunami Gang—the three diamond-tier experts—were, of course, bound to attend. In fact... it wasn't just them. On the massive presidential platform, there were four people seated. Besides the three diamond-tier experts of Mountain Sea City, there was also an extremely fat middle-aged man with half-closed eyes.

Although his identity was not yet known, according to the rules of the Mountain Sea Academy, only diamond-tier experts were entitled to sit on the presidential platform. The academy, as an institution, recognized strength above all else and disregarded other factors. Even with Po Kong's status, without the strength of a diamond-tier, one wouldn't qualify to sit there.

Following tradition, the lord of Mountain Sea City, the leader of the Tsunami Gang, and the headmaster of Mountain Sea Academy took turns speaking. These speeches, in reality, contained no substantive content, but in the final moments, the headmaster announced that the ultimate winner of the selection contest would receive a special honorary award from the Mountain Sea Academy. If one could later achieve a good rank in the World Academy Challenge, they might even receive a lifetime achievement award from the Mountain Sea Academy. If they won the championship, all team members would become Honorary Elders of the Mountain Sea Academy!

The so-called special honorary award didn't hold much practical use; it merely granted certain privileges within the academy. Its status was roughly parallel to that of the Head of the Institute. Wherever one went, except for the Head of the Institute, all others had to make way.

As for the lifetime achievement award, that was a bit more special. Once obtained, one's name would be recorded in the annals of the academy's history. Not only would it command respect from the students, but even the teachers would have to show reverence. It was an existence that transcended above all teachers and students.

The title of Honorary Elder, although honorary, conferred immense power. In some ways, it could be considered on par with the headmaster. It could even influence the headmaster's decisions and change the academy's rules and regulations. The extent of the status and power one held was almost beyond belief.

In his past life, both Po Kong and Yi Luo Xiang had become Honorary Elders. The authority they held was incredibly terrifying; they could even veto the headmaster's proposals. At the time, Yi Luo Xiang had forcefully altered a rule, separating girls from boys.

According to the current rules, if someone of higher status approached a girl, they could persistently engage her, and if of lower status and strength, one would not have the right to make the other leave, unless by force. But not all girls could resolve the situation with force.

For instance, the situation Yi Luo faced that day. If someone intended to give her flowers and refused to let her go, insisting on conversation, there was nothing she could do about it. One couldn't forcibly expel them, but direct challenges were an option. Yi Luo could easily triumph, but for other girls, such a rule was ineffective.

Take the powerhouses like Xin Yun, Po Kong, and Ming Xuan as examples. If they took a fancy to a girl, they could completely block her way, not letting her leave. A challenge would indeed be possible, but within the whole academy, aside from Yi Luo and Yan Qingying, were there any other girls who could stand up to them? Undoubtedly, there were none.

What Yi Luo amended was precisely this rule; girls had special privileges. Although they still had to make way for those of higher status, when faced with harassment, they could invoke the Yi Luo privilege and forcibly order others to let them pass. If anyone dared to persist, they would be violating the rule set by Yi Luo Xiang and would incur her distaste.

Experiencing Yi Luo Xiang's distaste might not seem like a big deal, but don't forget, Yi Luo Xiang was an Honorary Elder. Violating the elder's decree and incurring the dislike of an elder meant the academy would unconditionally expel the offender, a matter in which no mercy was shown.

Moreover, even if the academy did not expel the person, Yi Luo Xiang's millions of admirers and followers would certainly take the opportunity to come forward and punish the individual. Faced with such a significant force, even the Mountain Sea Academy would not dare protect someone.

Eventually, the law that Yi Luo Xiang modified became known as the Yi Luo Rule, which was considered the most terrifying rule. Note... there's no 'one of the' after 'most,' and it was precisely because of this law that all girls in the Mountain Sea Academy, regardless of height, weight, beauty, or ugliness, now had special privileges—the special privileges of women!
