Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The First Trial
This time, the road was very calm. Almost everyone kept silent and walked to their place of residence. This was a large bamboo house. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was built by the mountains. However, it was at the edge of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy. It was much better than resting in the plaza.

One person was assigned to a room, and he could cultivate here peacefully for the next two days.

Soon, night fell. Even at night, the Heavenly Spiritual Academy was still brightly lit. Countless disciples shuttled through it. There were even people who went out late at night. There were also people who returned to the sect. It was a prosperous scene. Many outer court disciples yearned for it.

“Dong dong dong!” Someone knocked on Ye Feng’s door.

Ye Feng put on his shoes and went down to the ground. He reached out and opened the bamboo door. He discovered that there were two mentors standing outside the door.

Looking at Teacher Li who was frowning, Ye Feng seemed to have seen the bad news. He hurriedly got up and let the two teachers in.

“What happened? Let the two mentors descend late at night.” Ye Feng hurriedly asked.

“Not good news!” Teacher Li frowned, and the teacher beside him sighed.

“Could it be that the examination has been cancelled?” Ye Feng asked doubtfully.

‘”Is that so? I’ve already received news that, not to mention strictly this time’s examination, there might be people secretly harming us. They will probably do something to the examiner. This will be very disadvantageous to us.” Teacher Li said helplessly.

“There’s still such a thing. Is the inner court examination unfair?” Ye Feng was angry.

“There is no justice in this world. As long as it is not too obvious, no one will interfere. One of the examiners this time is Meng Zhonghai’s older brother, Meng Zhongliang. We received the news immediately, so we came over.” Teacher Li said helplessly.

“This is outrageous. Do you want us to give up the exam?” A trace of killing intent flashed in Ye Feng’s eyes. If he slapped Meng Zhonghai in the face during the day, causing everyone to be unable to participate in the examination, Ye Feng would definitely kill him. At the very least, he would kill Meng Zhonghai.

“That’s not the case. I came here to discuss this matter with you. They don’t have the right to deprive us of the right to participate in the exam. They will only make it harder for us or obstruct us during the exam. However, they don’t dare to be too obvious. After all, there is more than one examiner.” Teacher Li saw that Ye Feng was emitting killing intent and continued.

“The other disciples have no enmity with him. They probably won’t deliberately make things difficult for him. What we are most worried about is you. I hope that you will be well prepared to avoid being overly aggressive during the assessment. With your ability, there will be no problem at all. Don’t be interfered with by external forces.”

This time, another mentor said. In fact, the purpose of coming was to inform Ye Feng in advance, so that he could be prepared, so as not to have any resistance during the examination.

“Don’t worry, this disciple knows what to do.” Ye Feng thought to himself and said.

“That’s good. As long as you join the inner court, no one will dare to do anything to you in the future. Your strength is generally at the Xiantian realm, so you don’t need to worry for the time being. Take the time to increase your strength and strive to become an inner sect disciple as soon as possible.”

Teacher Li was very pleased to see that Ye Feng’s eyes were firm and there was no emotion fluctuation. It seemed that nothing could shake Ye Feng’s temperament. His age was completely different from his style of handling things.

“Disciple will definitely work hard and will not disappoint everyone’s expectations!” Ye Feng understood the feelings of Teacher Li and the others very well. Every year, they would be ridiculed by others. This kind of feeling made Ye Feng understand what it meant to respect the strong and eat the weak. In the Divine Martial Continent, what they believed in was the laws of the jungle. Otherwise, you would only be able to live in the cracks.

“That’s all we can do. These are twenty True Spirit Pills. Take them first. When the exam starts, you might be able to use the key points.” Teacher Li took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Ye Feng.

“How can this be?” Ye Feng did not take it. Ye Feng had also heard of this True Spirit Pill. When one was in the Xiantian Realm, they would all condense it. Only the Immortal Martial Realm could condense it. They could absorb spiritual energy from the void and concentrate it. There weren’t many people who used magic tools to absorb spiritual energy. In the end, they condensed out True Spirit Pills. Each one was extremely precious.

“Take these True Spirit Pills as you wish. I hope that you can shine brightly in the examination. This way, we will have a bright future. In the future, the status of the Inner Court will also rise by leaps and bounds.” Teacher Li stuffed the True Spirit Pill into Ye Feng’s hand.

The two mentors even told Ye Feng a lot of information about the inner court, what they needed to avoid in the future, who they needed to pay attention to, the division of realms, and so on.

Ye Feng also understood some of the realm divisions. They were all vague generalizations. Now that Mentor Li had explained them, Ye Feng felt as if a huge door was slowly opening in front of him.

It turned out that above the Xiantian realm was the Earth realm, above the Heavenly realm was the Heavenly realm, and above the Heavenly realm was the Immortal realm. And above the Heavenly realm, Immortal realm was extremely rare in the Southern Divine Continent. That was the Divine realm. Only the academy master and some Supreme Elders could reach this level.

The difference between them and Ye Feng was not very great. However, Mentor Li had given many explanations on the details. It was not as general as Ye Feng had first understood. In fact, every realm change was described one by one. Although they had not reached that level, they had gathered a lot of information for Ye Feng. It could be said that they had done it with good intentions.

The two of them left Ye Feng’s bamboo room until the fish-white color appeared in the east, giving Ye Feng time to cultivate and adjusting his state to the best possible state.

The day was very calm. No one came to disturb them. When the time came, a special servant disciple brought them food. Everyone was cultivating. The three dragons and one phoenix came here once to exchange experiences. Ye Feng also benefited a lot.

Two days passed in a flash. Soon, it was time for the assessment. Early in the morning, Teacher Li began to gather everyone and gather at the assessment square.

Looking at the crowd on the plaza, there were about 10,000 people participating in the exam. The outer court disciples accounted for about half of them. In addition, there were some people who came to join the academy, and some who had connections. The previous generation had joined the academy, and they hoped that the next generation would continue to enter the academy.

Ye Feng and the others found a relatively spacious place. In any case, it would be their turn. As for where it was, it didn’t matter.

Time passed quickly. After an incense stick, a group of more than ten people actually flew into the air, flying from a very far place to a high platform in the plaza. Amazing cries could be heard from all around.

“Look, the examiner is here!” The crowd let out a scream. When they passed the annual examination, they would have a chance to join the Heavenly Spiritual Academy. From now on, regardless of whether it was their clan or status, they would rise.

A surging aura descended from the sky. More than a dozen people emitted an aura that soared into the sky, causing everyone present to feel suffocated. This was the Heavenly Martial Realm, one that could instantly kill enemies with just one realm.

The Xiantian Realm couldn’t even raise their heads in the face of this imposing aura. Not to mention these Houtian disciples, some people felt that their legs weren’t at their beck and call, and they felt like they were about to kneel down.

Ye Feng felt a strong pressure pressing down on his body, his body reflecting a power of stars, dispelling this pressure, completely useless.

Ye Feng had already cultivated the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of God and Demon to a small success. Many small stars had already formed in his body. Even though he could not hold all things, he could still absorb the aura that was coming from the cover.

This aura quickly disappeared and the scene returned to calm. Many people felt that their backs were wet and their faces were flushed red. Only the Xiantian realm was slightly stronger. As for the Houtian 8th layer, their entire bodies were already wet.

“The examination will begin now. The first trial, the strength trial, will not be able to reach the strength of a flying dragon. It will be eliminated!”

The sound didn’t seem to be loud, but it actually spread to every corner of the square. The first stage was actually very simple. It was strength. If one didn’t reach the strength of a flying dragon, they would be eliminated.

According to normal circumstances, the ninth level of the Houtian realm would not be able to achieve the strength of a flying dragon. However, the Heavenly Spirit Academy had chosen genius disciples, dragons and phoenixes amongst humans. Otherwise, there was no need to take the exam. It would be eliminating those disciples with small potential and eliminating them.

A huge stone tablet suddenly appeared in the middle of the square. It was ten meters tall and three meters wide. There were also scales on it. It seemed to be used to calculate strength. The highest was the strength of ten flying dragons, and the lowest was the strength of fifty bulls.

Quite a few people began to be eager to try, preparing to go up to the test, and strive to get past the first test as soon as possible.

Although the first round looked very simple, it was estimated that one third of the people could be eliminated. Not everyone could reach the strength of a flying dragon, and it also had a lot to do with the display of strength on the spot. Once they were nervous, they might not be able to display half of their strength.

‘”Ye Feng, I know that you’ve been hiding your strength, but I’m telling you, don’t hide your strength during the examination. The stronger you show, the more chances you’ll get the attention of the inner court and receive more attention. In the future, you’ll even be able to get the key training. Those who harbor bad intentions towards you will have some misgivings.”

Teacher Li was afraid that Ye Feng would not be willing to step forward and control his strength at the mid-term level. That would be even more detrimental to Ye Feng’s development. In the inner court, the most important thing was to pay attention to geniuses. The stronger you displayed, the more the academy would pay attention to you.

If Teacher Li did not mention it, Ye Feng could at most control himself to pass the examination. He would not purposely pursue heights. He would wait until his strength grew. Since Li Dao had mentioned it, Ye Feng would have to change.

“Iron plate, the power of a flying dragon, pass!”

Following Ye Feng’s conversation, someone had already begun to take the test. The first man happened to be a flying dragon and successfully passed the test.

“Deyang Sheng, the power of a flying dragon, pass!” Individual figures appeared in front of the stone stele. Soon, more than ten people went up. Only one person could not reach the strength of a flying dragon and was eliminated. Basically, they were all around the strength of a flying dragon.

“Mu Feng, ninety-nine bulls, eliminated, Hua Yun, ninety bulls, eliminated, Dong Yan, three flying dragons, cleared … Cui Jian’s four flying dragons, Ouyang Palace, five flying dragons …”

Half an hour later, about half of them went up.

“Yi Bu Qiu, the power of seven flying dragons!” The square suddenly boiled. There was actually a Xiantian realm attack that broke the five dragons’ power of Ouyang Palace.

In front of Ye Feng, there was a large empty space. Those eliminated disciples had already left. Ye Feng and the others began to go up. Looking at the huge stone tablet in front of them, Ye Feng took a deep breath and gently pushed out his fist!
