Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 67
Chapter 67 Do You Dare
Ye Feng rejected Jian Chengfeng first because he had agreed to Teacher Li. Second, Ye Feng did not look down on a person with a high status. That innate sense of superiority was completely useless to Ye Feng.
After registering, the group of 19 people found a remote place and waited for Teacher Li and the others to come over. They were arranging accommodation for a short period of time. About half an hour later, Teacher Li and the other three teachers walked towards Ye Feng and the others. There were also two people accompanying them.
“Have you all signed up?” Teacher Li asked everyone.
“It’s done!”
“Alright then, let me introduce you. These two are Teacher Qi and Teacher He. In the future, I can take care of you in the academy. Come and familiarize myself with them.”
It turned out that Mentor Li and the others had come to find old friends because they hoped to take care of them in the academy in the future so that they wouldn’t be bullied by others. They also had good intentions.
“Greetings, two mentors!” More than a dozen people saluted together. Which of these people wasn’t a human genius? Of course, they knew Mentor Li’s intentions. They were extremely respectful. Being able to link up with an inner court mentor meant that there would be another way out in the future.
“You don’t have to be too courteous. We are just teachers from the outer court. However, there is nothing we can say in the outer court. Since Teacher Li has appeared, the two of us can only do our best. As for whether we can survive in the academy, we still need your own efforts.”
Teacher Qi said. His gaze swept across everyone before finally fixing his gaze on Ye Feng. Teacher Qi’s gaze was extremely vicious.
‘”Alright, since everyone has signed up, come with me to the resting area and wait for two days before becoming an inner court disciple. If you fail, you still have to go back to the manor. You won’t have a chance until next year.” Teacher He didn’t seem to be very talkative and said to everyone at this time.
Under the guidance of the two mentors, the group advanced into the depths of the mountain range. The outer court disciples basically had this kind of advantage in participating in the examination. As long as there were people they knew in the inner court, they would be able to find a place to settle down.
As for those rogue cultivators, or some large clans, they weren’t so lucky to send their disciples to the examination. They could only wait in the plaza for two days.
“This year is not bad. A few good seedlings appeared in the middle. They are much stronger than last year. I estimate that half of them will be able to pass.” Mentor Qi seemed to be very familiar with Mentor Li. He chatted and laughed along the way. He looked at the youths in front of him and said with a faint smile.
“You also discovered it!” Teacher Li smiled mysteriously. “Then which one do you like?” He then asked.
“That kid is not bad. Although he doesn’t seem to be at the highest level, I noticed that he is completely restrained. There seems to be a huge potential lurking in his body, and his future achievements are limitless.” Teacher Qi pointed at Ye Feng and said softly.
“Good eyesight. I also feel that this kid is not simple. It is definitely a miracle that he has grown to such a level in just three months.”
Teacher Li admired Teacher Qi’s eyesight. He could tell that Ye Feng was the most outstanding amongst the crowd. He could even see that Ye Feng’s essence was restrained. This required extraordinary eyesight. Most people only looked at the realm. After all, Ye Feng was only at the ninth level of the Houtian realm. Many people present had reached the half-step Xiantian realm and were still not in the eyes of the two teachers.
Ye Feng and the others were completely unaware of what was going on. Their eyes were already stunned by the scene in front of them. Countless buildings were located in the Black Yan Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of kilometers. The entire building could not be seen at a glance. There were towering mountain peaks, pavilions, tower pavilions built by the mountains, and a large number of small courtyards of bamboo buildings stationed at the mountainside …
Large squares appeared in front of Ye Feng. There were a total of fifteen or sixteen, and there were many disciples cultivating in the squares. More than a dozen giant peaks pierced into the clouds. Countless buildings were built on each mountain peak, and a large number of disciples shuttled through them.
One immortal crane after another rose into the air, and there were actually people sitting on it, flying through the endless mountain ranges towards the depths.
This was a scene of an immortal family. The immortal energy inside was indistinct, and dense spiritual energy pounced on their faces. Ye Feng and the others seemed to have arrived at the Human Immortal Realm and were intoxicated by it. Compared to the inner courtyard, the Heavenly Spiritual Academy of the Open Source Kingdom was simply incomparable. It could be said that the outer courtyard of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy was not as big as a mountain peak of the inner courtyard.
“Oh, isn’t this Lao Li? Where are you going?” At a fork in the road, a group of people also gathered towards Ye Feng. Suddenly, a cold voice sounded towards Ye Feng, and it seemed to have a thorn in it.
Everyone looked to the side. The road was wide enough. There were more than twenty people over there. They quickly gathered together. The one who spoke just now was a Xiantian Realm cultivator. He was probably also a mentor. It seemed that he was very familiar with Mentor Li.
Teacher Li’s face was filled with anger, as if he did not like this person. He coldly snorted and replied.
“Not bad, I can still gather more than ten people this year, but it doesn’t look good! I can’t even cultivate a Xiantian realm cultivator.” It seemed like a compliment, but in fact, it was sarcastic and extremely ironic.
“Meng Zhonghai, don’t get carried away. Don’t think that cultivating a Xiantian realm is amazing. We’ll see what happens when the exam starts.” Teacher Li snorted coldly.
It turned out that Meng Zhonghai was also a mentor from the Heavenly Spiritual Outer Court. However, to the north of the Divine Continent of the Southern Domain, it was freezing cold. Although the conditions were a bit harsh, it was very suitable for cultivation. Because he had to endure the extremely cold energy every day, martial artists had no choice but to cultivate to resist the cold.
The two of them were disciples of the inner court. There had been some unpleasantness in the past, and they had always held it in their hearts. These past ten years, the two of them had met during the end-of-year disciple examination. Because Meng Zhonghai had brought over a head full of disciples every year, this meeting was still mocking and sarcastic.
“Oh, looks like you’re very confident. You don’t even have a Xiantian realm cultivator, yet you’re actually so confident. Looks like you’re really old, or have you lost confidence in yourself, or are you even satisfied with the status quo?” Meng Zhonghai was still full of ridicule, and even the surrounding disciples began to heckle.
“Take care of yourselves first. As for whether or not I’m satisfied with the current situation, that’s my business. It’s not up to you to interfere!” Teacher Li’s face was ashen with anger.
‘”I forgot to tell you some good news. I’ll be back in the inner court in another year. At that time, not only will I be rewarded by the inner court, I’ll even be able to raise my cultivation. Don’t you congratulate me?” Meng Zhonghai was extremely provocative and his tone was extremely unfriendly.
“Who are you? You need another year. Teacher Li will return to the inner courtyard in half a year. You are so arrogant.”
Ye Feng watched as Mentor Li was continuously suppressed by the other party. He really couldn’t bear to watch any longer. If this continued, it wouldn’t be Mentor Li who would be attacked. Instead, it would be all of these disciples. They were all dejected long ago, as if they had lost their fighting spirit. Mentor was bullied, and the disciples’ faces were lifeless.
“Ye Feng can’t!” Teacher Li was about to stop him, but Ye Feng had already finished. With his current points, not to mention half a year, even ten years was not enough. How could he return to the inner court within half a year?
“Lao Li, this is the disciple that you cultivated? I wonder if it’s time for you to say such disobedient words to Elder Ju.” This Meng Zhonghai glanced at Ye Feng with a sidelong gaze. With a questioning tone, he actually asked Ye Feng to slap his lips.
“This junior is not sensible, so don’t be like him!” Teacher Li gave Ye Feng a look to restrain his sharpness. This was the inner courtyard, filled with geniuses to avoid falling into a fight. This was not what Teacher Li hoped for.
“This junior is ignorant. That is the responsibility of the elders. Since you are protecting him, what should you do? He has insulted me. This matter cannot be let go just like that.” Meng Zhonghai actually acted arrogantly, thinking that Ye Feng had insulted him just now. After all, he was a mentor, and his status was one level higher than Ye Feng’s.
“One person does the same thing, one person does the same thing. What do you want? I’ll follow along!” Seeing Mentor Li’s awkward appearance, Ye Feng knew that no matter what Mentor Li did today, these people would not let it go. Since they had encountered him, they would not leave until they humiliated Ye Feng and the others. Ye Feng had already seen through them.
“You have backbone, but people who have backbone since ancient times died earlier. Let alone that I am an elder who didn’t give you a chance, kneel here and kowtow to me three times. I won’t pursue this matter anymore.”
Meng Zhonghai was extremely arrogant. He did not look like a teacher at all. How could he have any manners? He actually wanted Ye Feng to kneel here and kowtow to him.
More and more people passed by. After all, there were many outer courtyards of Heavenly Spirit Academy. It was about this time that they rushed back to the inner courtyard to participate in the exam. Most of them had lively expressions and no one interfered. These outer courtyards were competing with each other. They hoped that they would both lose, so they would get more spots.
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it!” Ye Feng laughed coldly. A murderous aura surged out from his body. He looked straight at Meng Zhonghai. The latter’s heart was actually filled with fear. He was so pierced by Ye Feng’s sharp gaze that he did not dare to face him head-on.
“What an arrogant brat. Our mentor is giving you a chance. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mentor. You should scram back and continue drinking milk.”
Because Ye Feng was not the youngest among the crowd, he definitely belonged to the youngest type. All of the people present were around twenty years old, only Ye Feng was around sixteen or seventeen years old. A young man stood out from the crowd and pointed at Ye Feng angrily.
“Junior apprentice-brother’s guidance is greatly appreciated!” Seeing this disciple standing out, Ye Feng sneered. He was only at the half-step Xiantian realm, yet he actually wanted to teach Ye Feng a lesson.
Meng Zhonghai did not stop him, but instead signaled for the disciples behind him to vacate an empty space. It seemed that he was very satisfied with this disciple’s actions.
“If you can withstand my punch and insult my mentor, we disciples can let bygones be bygones. If you can’t withstand it, you still have to kneel down and kowtow. Do you dare?” This disciple’s eyes were red and furious as he stared at Ye Feng. His figure was very sturdy, one head taller than Ye Feng. Obviously, the two of them were not on the same level.
All the disciples behind Ye Feng wanted to rush out. Teacher Li was ridiculed by others. Just like ridiculing these disciples, he did not want Ye Feng to stand out alone.
“Just stay where you are. It’s just an ant, yet you’re actually bragging.” Ye Feng stopped the disciples behind him. “I can promise you that if I lose, I can kneel down and kowtow. If you lose, all of you must kneel down and apologize to us. Do you dare?” Ye Feng retaliated with a domineering tone.
