Chapter 85 The Chaos of the Examination

February 2nd, 12345th year of the new Tianyuan calendar

The sky above Dragon Mountain was cloudless. A large group of young Cultivators were climbing the mountain together; they were the candidates who were going to take the academy’s assessment.

Most of the young cultists climbed the mountain alone, while some elders from the clan or sect followed along, wanting to watch the spectacle together.

At the mountaintop, a huge arena had been set up. On the arena, the teacher Cao Ziwei was the leader, followed by four students from the academy.

Lin Jing, dressed in white with a gourd at her waist; Zi Ling’er, in a fire-patterned red robe, her body exuding the fragrance of cinnabar; Yuan Jing, in a pure black robe, carrying a long sword on her back; and Xu Zhizhi, in a blue robe, with a refined and scholarly appearance.

“That’s Cao Ziwei, the teacher at the academy, who is said to be Nascent Soul.” “Great Perfection cultivation, proficient in the art of eye-gazing! ” An elder introduced Cao Ziwei to his junior:

It is said that once when Mr. Cao returned to his family, a younger member of the family was looking for a husband and asked Mr. Cao to help vet him. He only glanced at the young man before recommending him to an innate among a group of gentlemen. Mortal Body, said to be ” lucky in bringing good fortune to one’s wife,” ultimately led this Junior to reject a suitor with a special physiology and choose this Mortal Body. Guess what? The last two Innates ” The Mortal Body has given birth to an ‘ Innate Thunder Spirit’!” This is the most powerful Innate Spirit ever!

“After that, many female members of cultivation families preferred to pay Mr. Cao a hefty sum to vet potential husbands. If you caught Mr. Cao’s eye, you’d be incredibly lucky. As long as he said you’d bring good fortune to your wife, marrying into any cultivation family wouldn’t be a problem!”

“I see.” The young cultivator looked at Cao Ziwei with fervent eyes, exclaiming, “This ‘wife-enhancing technique’ is truly amazing!”

“Are these four the examiners representing the academy’s students? Two Foundation Establishment Initial Stages, one at level nine and the other at level seven?”

Some of the candidates carefully observed Lin Jing and her three companions, selecting suitable challengers.

“Choosing a Foundation Establishment examiner will definitely be difficult to beat, but if you perform well, even if you fail, your score will be much higher than if you beat that examiner who has reached level seven!” A young Cultivator analyzed, muttering to himself, “If you’re confident in yourself, challenge those two!”

Hearing his analysis, an elder nearby slapped him and telepathically said, “How have I been taught you? No matter what, intelligence should always be your top priority. That Qi level seven cultivator is from the Beast Taming Sect. What’s impressive is his Pet Beast. He just arrived in Hidden Dragon City a few months ago and directly defeated a Foundation Establishment cultivator with his current cultivation level. His strength is extraordinary!”

“The other three were his defeated opponents just six months ago! Of course, back then they were all just practicing Qi, but now that someone has Foundation Establishment, things are definitely different.”

“But regardless, this Beast Taming Cultivator is more famous in Hidden Dragon City than the other three. Defeating him might even result in a higher score.”

After all, Hidden Dragon Academy cultivates luck and reputation!

“Huh???” The young Cultivator who was hit was dumbfounded. What?! This is so fraudulent?! The academy’s assessment is too insidious.

“So you should challenge that Beast Taming Sect! He has the lowest cultivation level but the highest reputation. Who else should you choose? You can better demonstrate your abilities and get a high score!” Seeing that the junior was not up to par, the elder told him the information he knew to prevent him from failing the test.

Most candidates are analyzing information and deciding which examiner is the most suitable for them.

This assessment, though ostensibly a test of strategic skills, is in fact also an intelligence war.

Of course, there are also those who are absolutely confident in their abilities, with calm expressions, like the Wang family’s Heavenly God Body, who stands out as a dragon among men. Phoenix, with exceptional quality.

Wang Xiao crossed his arms, his silver armor gleaming, his gaze fixed on Cao Ziwei as he waited for him to announce the start of the assessment, without even glancing at Lin Jing and the others.

His aura was so strong that most test takers dared not approach him.

“Time’s up!!!” Just then, Cao Ziwei rose into the air, looked at the crowd before him, and said, “I am Cao Ziwei.”

As the chief examiner for this academy’s entrance examination, I welcome all applicants.

“Today we will conduct the first Dao assessment. Regardless of your Dao, your own strength is the foundation of everything. Next, please choose one of the four Academy Cultivators in front of you to challenge. I will score you based on your performance.”

“Alright, enough with the nonsense, which candidate would like to challenge first?” As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy young man at the ninth level of Qi cultivation leaped onto the arena.

“I am Lei Chou from Leiyin Valley in the Dao Domain.” The burly young man introduced himself. Leiyin Valley was not considered a major sect.

This valley does not practice Cultivate lightning magic, but rather Cultivate body-tempering techniques, drawing lightning to temper the body, so there are faint flashes of lightning between his skin.

“I want to challenge him.” He looked at the thin Xu Zhizhi: “I’ve long heard of Master Xu Young’s great name!”

Xu Zhizhi walked confidently onto the stage and looked at the Body Cultivator.

“You are very brave. It seems you must know that I once killed a terrifying Snowfield Body Cultivator in the Cave Heaven! It possessed the Innate Myriad Beast Body and was extremely powerful. You are also a Body Cultivator. Do you want to challenge me to prove that you are more powerful than the Snowfield Body Cultivator who has entered the Cave Heaven?”

When Xu Zhizhi was praising himself, Yuan Jing and Zi Ling’er’s mouths twitched. How could someone be so shameless as to say it without blushing? That Snowfield Body Cultivator was clearly a serious injury to Lin Jing, and you just added insult to injury!

“Yes!!!” Lei Chou’s lips curled up, wanting to prove that he was stronger than the Snowfield Body Cultivator!

“The assessment begins!” Cao Ziwei quickly announced the start of the assessment. Lightning crackled around Lei Chou, and his figure vanished instantly as he attacked Xu Zhizhi with terrifying speed.

But at the same time, people noticed that Xu Zhizhi had somehow acquired a bamboo weapon.

Xu Zhizhi’s bright eyes flashed as he found the right spot, pulled the trigger, and the Mechanical Bamboo Gun instantly fired countless bullets, which landed in the direction the Body Cultivator was moving and around it.

Xu Zhizhi continued firing, unleashing a burst of Spirit Bean Bombs. When the mist cleared, Lei Chou lay unconscious on the ground. He remembered Wen Dao… That’s not how Cultivators fight.

“Your speed is good, but I possess exceptional eyesight, even at the Mortal stage, allowing me to see clearly in the dark. Speed ​​is meaningless against me. Moreover, your physical strength is far inferior to that of the Snowfield Body Cultivator. I fear my abilities might injure you too severely, so I will defeat you with this bamboo spear.” With that, he flicked his sleeve.

He walked back, changing the magazine in his hand.

Cao Ziwei looked at Xu Zhizhi, paused for a moment, and then said, “Next candidate.”

This Body Cultivator was lifted off the ground, and aside from showing decent speed, his performance was, to put it mildly, atrocious.

Many candidates were still staring blankly at the weapon in his hand.

Wait a minute, this thing seems to be more lethal than regular text- based propaganda.

“I’m here! I want to challenge Xu Zhizhi!” Another young man stepped forward, dressed in black with golden tiger stripes embroidered on his clothes.

“The Demon-Slaying Gao Family, Gao Sheng!” After he introduced himself, the scene erupted in an uproar. Was he from that demon-slaying family?

Xu Zhizhi was happy to be challenged again, but when he heard the challenger’s name, he suddenly froze and had a bad feeling.

After Gao Sheng jumped up, to everyone’s astonishment, he pulled out a machine gun exactly like Xu Zhizhi’s and exclaimed, “I have one too, hahaha!”

Xu Zhizhi’s vision went black; oh no.
