Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 66
Chapter 66 Heavenly Spiritual Academy
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was almost a month. Ye Feng’s line of sight became wider and wider. He crossed several large cities. In comparison, it was several tens of times stronger than moving to another city. It was not surprising that the Xiantian Realm was walking on the streets here. There were even people flying across the sky, flying in the sky.
“We will arrive at the inner courtyard in another day. Everyone, rest for one day. We will be on our way tomorrow morning!” Seeing everyone’s excited expressions, Teacher Li led everyone into an inn.
The place where they lived was called Hao City. Even Ye Feng did not know how many people could be accommodated here. The group stayed in the inn and recovered from a month of exhaustion. They waited for them to enter the Heavenly Spiritual Academy tomorrow.
After dawn the next day, more than twenty people were neatly waiting to leave. There was no sign of exhaustion on everyone’s faces. Instead, they were nervous and excited. Only Kou Chenlong was better. After all, he had participated once last year and was eliminated in the end.
“What dense spiritual energy.”
After walking through the city for half a day, a huge mountain range appeared in front of him. A continuous building was occupying this place, and a youth shouted loudly.
Ye Feng also discovered that the entire mountain range in front of him was shrouded in a layer of mist. The immortal energy was faint, giving people the feeling that they had arrived at the Immortal Realm.
“Everyone, quiet down. This is the entrance to our inner courtyard, the Black Yan Mountain Range. We will arrive in another hour.”
A group of people marched towards the Black Yan Mountain Range. At the beginning, there weren’t many people. There were more and more people who walked for a cup of tea. At first glance, they saw that they were all around twenty youths. They were all full of vigor and vitality. Some of them had many guards accompanying them, and some of them were accompanied by three or two.
“Are these people here to participate in the inner sect examination?” Ye Feng asked.
“This should be the case. Every year, thousands of disciples come to take the exam. However, there are only a certain number of spots each year, so the elimination process is quite intense.” Teacher Li explained.
“Coupled with the fact that the academy recruits disciples from other places every year, there aren’t many spots in our outer court.” The outer court’s recruitment of disciples was not the only source. There were also many families that came to participate. There were also some youths with good potential who wanted to come over and give it a try.
“In front of us is the square for this exam.” After walking for about an incense stick of time, a huge plaza appeared in front of the mountain range. It hadn’t reached the depths of the Black Yan Mountain Range yet, so it could only be considered an entrance.
Teacher Li pointed his finger forward. Ye Feng and the others looked ahead together. Ye Feng was shocked. Many people, such a big square, was more than ten times larger than the football field in his previous life. No wonder it could accommodate so many people.
“I’ll take you to register later. After registering, I’ll take you to rest. There are still two days left in the exam.”
Teacher Li brought more than twenty people and walked towards the huge square. A large number of people had already gathered in the square. There were probably thousands of people, and there were also people continuously rushing over.
When they arrived at a registration area, they had already formed a long line. Ye Feng and the others could only stand at the back. Even if they were outer court disciples, there was nothing special about them.
“You guys wait in line first. Let’s go meet our old friends and come back to pick you up later!”
Instructor Li and the others returned to the inner courtyard. It was hard to conceal their excitement. Anyway, it was still early. They planned to meet their friends and let Ye Feng and the others sign up first.
“Greetings, mentor!” More than twenty people had long hoped that the mentor would leave. With the mentor by their side, they still had their misgivings about what to say. Now that the mentor was no longer there, their expressions relaxed a lot. The group of people were chatting and laughing.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, they arrived at Ye Feng’s group.
“Name.”
“Ye Feng!”
“Age!”
“Sixteen!”
After Ye Feng finished speaking, the registrar looked up at Ye Feng.
“Sixteen years old, didn’t you lie about your age? Let me tell you first, if you conceal your age and let the examiner know, you will be deprived of your right to participate in the competition, and you will not be allowed to participate in the examination in the future.” The registrar said coldly.
“There was no concealment.” Ye Feng said truthfully.
After all, there were very few teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old present. Most of them were around twenty years old, and there were also teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old. However, they did not seem to be as powerful as Ye Feng.
“Where did you come from?”
Nor did the registrar continue to argue on the subject. He then asked.
“Open Source Nation, Heavenly Spiritual Academy.”
The registrar’s expression became much better. After all, he was a disciple of the outer court, so he was treated better than those rogue cultivators who came to participate in the examination.
“True Qi level.” The registrar asked again.
“The ninth level of the Houtian realm.”
Ye Feng did not conceal his cultivation. On the way, several mentors had warned Ye Feng and the others not to conceal their cultivation during the examination. If the examiner found out, they would be directly expelled.
When the registrar heard this, he immediately stood up and looked at Ye Feng carefully. Even the young men and women standing behind him turned their heads to look.
“Wang Xu, what’s going on? Didn’t you register properly? Did something happen?”
A youth in his twenties walked over.
“We have been ordered to come down the mountain to supervise this election. Do your job well and don’t make any mistakes. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask.” A young man spoke with a high tone.
“Yes, Senior Brother Chengfeng.”
Registrar Wang Xu said carefully.
“What happened to these people? Do you know their origins?”
Jian Chengfeng asked.
“These people are from the Open Source Country Branch. They are sixteen years old and are at the ninth level of the Houtian realm.”
The young man in front of him was not someone he could provoke, so he could only obediently lower his head and answer truthfully.
The others also walked over at this time. Upon hearing Wang Xu’s words, all their gazes immediately turned towards Ye Feng.
The young man called Jian Chengfeng shot a sharp gaze at Ye Feng.
“Not bad, kid. With your cultivation at the late Houtian ninth layer at the age of sixteen, it’s no problem for you to participate in the assessment. After all, you are outer court disciples, so you will have priority. After participating in the assessment, you can choose our Heavenly Star Academy.” The young man spoke in a tone of contempt.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd.
“Heavenly Star Academy, that’s the second place in the seventeenth hall of Heavenly Spirit Academy. This kid is truly fortunate. He has already attracted the attention of the second Heavenly Star Academy before he could participate.” The crowd said one person at a time.
“You don’t know, right? The young man who spoke just now was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Star Academy, Jian Chengfeng. I heard that the inner disciples of the Heavenly Star Academy have ten great disciples. This Jian Chengfeng is ranked in the top ten. Even if he meets a core disciple, he will have a battle.” A fat youth said.
“I wonder what kind of shit luck this brat has. He’s actually attracted Jian Chengfeng’s attention. In the future, he can walk horizontally at the entrances of various halls. I heard that Jian Chengfeng is exceptionally tyrannical. As long as you offend him, there won’t be a good ending. If you don’t cripple your cultivation, you’ll be killed in the dark.” A youth said softly.
“Brat, you don’t want to live anymore. If he hears this, he will definitely kill you.” The youth who had just finished speaking stuck out his tongue and quickly shut his mouth.
“How is it? Have you considered it?” Hearing the discussions around him, Jian Chengfeng did not care and continued to ask Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was certain that it was impossible for him not to answer. A group of people looked over. If nothing unexpected happened, this kid would be a disciple of the Star Academy. In the future, he had to curry favor with Ye Feng. A youth standing not far behind him muttered to himself.
Ye Feng raised his head and replied without saying anything, “Many thanks for Senior Brother’s love. Whether I can pass this exam or not is still unknown. Even if I pass, I have already promised my mentor to join Xuan Courtyard, but I still thank Senior Brother for his love.” Ye Feng’s words were very tactful, but he still didn’t want to offend Jian Chengfeng head-on.
Ye Feng still didn’t want to offend these people when he first arrived. However, Ye Feng wasn’t afraid of anyone either. He just didn’t want to cause too much trouble.
Jian Chengfeng frowned. In front of so many people, Ye Feng rejected his face and felt embarrassed.
“As long as you are willing to join the Heavenly Star Academy, you don’t need to think about the rest. Moreover, our Heavenly Star Academy’s treatment is definitely more than ten times better than the Xuan Courtyard’s. You should think about it carefully.” Every year, the entrances to the main hall would compete with each other to recruit genius disciples. This time, the Heavenly Star Academy was the same. Jian Chengfeng once again threw out an olive branch.
“A gentleman’s words are irrevocable. Since I have already promised the academy’s mentor, I will not change my mind. I hope Senior Brother will understand my difficulties.” Ye Feng was still not humble and did not say anything.
“Don’t be shameless. No one in Heavenly Spirit Academy has dared to disobey Senior Brother Chengfeng’s decision. I think you’re tired of living.”
A youth stood out from behind Jian Chengfeng and shouted at Ye Feng. The youths around him who were very close to Ye Feng immediately separated from Ye Feng. Only the twenty plus people who came with Ye Feng stood together.
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s heart burst with anger, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
“I’m not afraid of you. You didn’t give me face. As for which entrance I choose, you have no right to interfere, right?” Ye Feng said angrily.
“Little brat, you have the guts. I hope you can continue to be so tough. When you reach the academy, I will make your life worse than death.” The youth who had just spoken continued to speak, carrying a blatant threat.
“Let’s go, remember what you just said!” Jian Chengfeng waved his hand and led everyone to another place. However, Ye Feng could tell that Jian Chengfeng looked at him with a look of death.
Ye Feng smiled self-deprecatingly. He did not expect to offend a strong enemy before joining the academy. However, I do not care. Only when there is pressure can there be motivation. Only in this way can one’s strength be improved faster.
“Ye Feng, why didn’t you agree to him just now?” Kou Chenlong and the others walked up. They did not understand why Ye Feng did not agree. To be able to join the Heavenly Star Academy was the dream of many youths.
“Senior Brother Hui, it’s not that I don’t agree, but I’ve already promised my mentor to join Xuan courtyard. Moreover, as you saw earlier, Jian Chengfeng has a lofty expression, as if everyone is going to submit to his feet. It looks like he’s not a kind person. Men have to stand up to the heavens and earth. Since I’ve promised, I have to do it, so I can’t be beaten to the ground by a little bit of surrender.” Ye Feng was also helpless, but he did not regret it. Nothing could stop Ye Feng from searching for the peak of martial arts.
“I can’t say anything about you. When that Jian Chengfeng left, I saw that there was something wrong with the way he looked at you. You must be careful in the future. I think that as long as you enter the sect, he will definitely find someone to deal with you.” Kou Chenlong said to Ye Feng with a vigilant tone.
