Other than them the rest of the older ones have broken through Xiantian Realm, those that walks towards a certain path even managed to be enlightened.

----------

The two have the same level and because of Slicer's ability to strengthen his owner, Shena is much stronger than regular human.

Her stats belongs to beast because her strength clearly does not belong to a newly advanced human expert.

What's more she doesn't train in physical technique and only walk in the path of being a chef and a warrior.

Shadowslash also realised why Slicer was different from the rest of the pets, it is because he had the guidance of his ancestors which was actually a divine beast.

From his speculation after Slicer advances to Xiantian Realm his hidden bloodline was triggered transforming him into what he is right now.

He is quite happy for Shena, she has powerful personal strength and her pet is also a powerful being.

With them on his side his confidence is skyrocketing, what's more Slicer potential is still extremely high.

He has a chance of reaching divine rank, the only thing he lacked right now is time.

The entire night pass by as everyone in Thousand Race Kingdom and Safehaven Paradise were happy and celebrated the festival together with their loved ones.

The festival ended three days later when Shadowslash finally announced that he decided to focus on the academy in the kingdom.

The one elected as the principal of the new and improved Thousand Race Academy was Yshelia and the vice principal was Glasses.

The classes were extremely diverse, there are classes for combat, literature, music, etc.

Parents all over the kingdom immediately started to dream of sending their children at that school.

Because the situation might be chaotic if the academy is put in Hope City, Shadowslash have done something mind blowing.

He built the academy inside a new hidden realm inside Safehaven Paradise.

Basically the academy would become both a sect and a school, you could decide to learn how to cultivate or not.

When this news was released countless people were shocked, immediately everyone starts to become crazy.

But the slots were too few for the entire kingdom, there is 100 slots for those that wanted to cultivate and 100 for those that walks to the path of literature.

These two different paths would have different test and people all over the kingdom immediately started scrambling for the spot.

Fortunately because it was Shadowslash that was facilitating the test most people behaves and dares not to become unruly.

Because the announcement was too abrupt Shadowslash decided to give some time to everyone and put the schedule of the test next month.

Of course he also had an idea of building regular schools throughout his kingdom, to motivate the students he would give them a chance to obtain a slot to enter the Thousand Race Academy.

The first step was already done but the result could only be shown a year from now and the final result would be shown four years from now.

Once the people were taught by diligent teachers and they themselves were diligent enough the foundation of his kingdom would become more solid.

The entire kingdom were bustling with activities those that were 16 and below started to train or study to try and get one of the slots.

The parents also decided to work much harder to help their children.

What they don't realised is that inside Safehaven Paradise, Shadowslash was having a solemn meeting in the most important location inside Safehaven Paradise.

It was near the Luminous Tree of Life, all those that are present on the meeting were important members of Thousand Race Kingdom.

All of them were shocked by what Shadowslash's plan was but all of them agreed that his plan would definitely help quell the chaos in Thousand Forest Continent.

All the generals stood up and answered in unison "Our platoon is ready to serve you my lord!"

They were then stunned before looking at each other with fierce competition, they recognised each other as competitors as of this moment.

Shadowslash nodded feeling gratified with how loyal they are to him.

He then said "I had two other territories that is much larger than Thousand Race Kingdom, the first territory is in Beast Continent I am now worshipped there and just like in this continent I now hold the title of the strongest being in that continent."

Of course he wasn't formally crowned as the strongest being in Beast Continent but he knew for a fact that he is considered as the strongest being there.

The people were shocked when they heard this especially the beastman, then each one of them except for Shadowslash's family started kneeling one after another.

They then shouted "Shadowslash is invincible! Shadowslash is invincible! Shadowslash is invincible!"

"Thousand Race Kingdom will prosper! Thousand Race Kingdom will prosper! Thousand Race Kingdom will prosper!"

Shadowslash nodded he then looks at Lisa and asks "Lisa according to the information you and the entire information department have gathered which location in the continent is considered the most lawless place there is?"

Lisa answered"It is still the Lawless Land even though we had cleaned it before people still continue to go there and establish the so called Lawless Land."

Shadowslash's eyes became cold he then looks at Sans and orders "Sans I want that entire piece of land razed to the ground destroy everything there, I will be building a new place out of that piece of garbage."

Sans stood up "As you wish young master! I will raze everything to the ground no being even insects would be kept in that place!"

He felt extremely happy right now, unlike the others Sans only reason for his existence is Shadowslash.

Now that Shadowslash was walking the path of a ruler he would become the sharpest spear and the toughest shield for him.

Knowing Sans capability Shadowslash wasn't worried he then looks at Allicia and told her "Allicia tell the other department to send a message to Luminous Kingdom, Dragon Kingdom and Archinviel Dukedom and tell them to prepare tell them to defend their territory at all cost!"

"They already have submitted to Thousand Race Kingdom so they might targeted so I want some of the generals to defend them."

Allicia nodded, while the rest of the continent were focus on the academy the soldiers and many high ranking fighters in the kingdom started moving in a strange manner.

The situation started to happen on Luminous Kingdom, Dragon Kingdom and Archinviel Dukedom as if they were preparing to face a powerful opponent.

What was surprising for Shadowslash is that the three vassals wanted to prove themselves and decided to refuse his suggestion in sending a general to protect them.

It seems that Sanctuary is truly a heavenly blessing for them, the amount of experts they had nurtured could potentially make them rulers of the continent.

But they held themselves because they always respected the Thousand Race Kingdom, other than respect they also fear it.

Now when they heard that Shadowslash was finally making a move the three territories immediately wanted to showcase their strength so that they would be look more favorably by Shadowslash.

The three territories were actually competing all this time, they disdained the other territories only those that have Sanctuaries were the ones they respected.

The Archinviel Dukedom and the Dragon Kingdom were rivals, it is because their Sanctuaries seems to be switched.
