Although Lin Feng was worried about the Nalan Family's revenge, the Nalan Family had yet to make a move.
Lin Feng was merely on guard.
After all, the Nalan Family had yet to make any moves.
Day after day …
The Jialan Academy became increasingly lively as the day of the Azure Dragon Institute's recruitment drew closer.
The Azure Dragon Institute was the True Martial Country's highest institution, the cradle of True Martial Country's experts.
Most importantly, the Azure Dragon Institute's Principal was a master from the Sun Moon City.
In other words, outstanding students within the Azure Dragon Institute.
In the future, there was a chance they could join one of the 'ancient forces'.
If they wanted to grasp the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground.
If they wanted to live forever like the immortals in the legends, they had to join the ancient forces.
Then, he would need to join an ancient faction. Only an ancient faction would have such a powerful legacy.
For the upcoming recruitment test, the Jialan Academy, Sea of Clouds Academy, and Skywind Academy's disciples who had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Martial Warrior were eligible to enter the Skywind City's Skywind Academy.
Every three years, the Azure Dragon Institute would recruit students, and each time, they would be divided into different districts. Among them, the Jialan Academy, Sea of Clouds Academy, and Skywind Academy were in one district, and these three academies would take turns. Three years ago, the recruitment site was set at the Sea of Clouds Academy, six years ago it was set at the Jialan Academy, and this year it was the Skywind Academy's turn.
Those who could participate in the Azure Dragon Institute's recruitment test were definitely geniuses among geniuses.
Skywind Academy's testing courtyard number one!
More than three hundred students were gathered here, waiting for their turn.
"This one is Skywind Academy's Sun Hai, may I know this brother's name?" While they were waiting, a seventeen to eighteen years old young man cupped his fists at Lin Feng, greeting him with a smile.
"Jialan Academy's Lin Feng."
Lin Feng also cupped his fists in return.
"Haha, nice to meet you ah, looking at Brother Lin's young age, this must be your first time taking the recruitment test, right?"
Sun Hai said with a smile.
Lin Feng nodded, "Yes, this is indeed my first time taking the recruitment test. Could it be that Brother Sun has taken the recruitment test before?"
Sun Hai smiled wryly, "That's right, three years ago, I also participated in the Azure Dragon Institute's assessment. That time, I came in brimming with confidence, but in the end, I returned disappointed. This is already my second time participating in the Azure Dragon Institute's assessment, but I heard that this year's assessment will be more difficult than previous years!"
Lin Feng's interest was piqued. Just as he was about to inquire further, three examiners walked out from the inner courtyard. One of them was an old man, while the other two were middle-aged. These three people were the examiners in charge of Courtyard One's test. They were either Elders or Deacons of the Azure Dragon Institute. The old man in the lead said, "Everyone, please follow us in."
"Creak!!"
The door was opened.
The three examiners took the lead and walked in. Then, the rest of the examiners followed one after another into a large hall. This hall was built like an ancient Roman Colosseum. There were high platforms around it with many seats on them. Below them was a concave building that looked like an Colosseum. It was sealed by an iron cage.
This was where the assessment was held this year.
Among the three of them, the old man was the main examiner. He said, "This year's test is to defeat the Earth Puppet."
"Hiss …"
Hearing the words' Earth Puppet ', many people sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Earth Devil's body was tough, almost impenetrable by swords and spears.
After being refined into a puppet, its defense was greatly increased. Wanting to defeat an Earth Puppet wasn't an easy task.
"Earth Puppet? Looks like these Earth Devils were killed during the demonic beasts' rampage in the Azure Dragon Institute, then refined into puppet beasts to be used in this year's assessment. This Azure Dragon Institute really knows how to make the best use of everything. "
Lin Feng couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
"They really are Earth Puppet beasts, this is going to be troublesome. These Earth Devils can't be chopped with a blade or pierced with a sword. Wanting to defeat them is too difficult."
Sun Hai shook his head with a wry smile.
Lin Feng said, "Since Brother Sun knew about these Earth Puppet beasts in advance, he must have made ample preparations. What's there to worry about?"
Sun Hai reassured, "After all, it's hard to be one hundred percent certain.
"Release the Earth Devils!"
The chief examiner barked.
One of the deputy examiners guarding the cage directly opened the cage.
"Roar!"
In the next second, a low growl sounded from the cage.
A behemoth charged out.
This monster was four to five meters tall and seven to eight meters long. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, giving it a hideous appearance.
This was an 'Earth Devil'.
It was one of the Earth Devils' races. Because its body was covered in scales, its defense was extremely strong, and its strength was boundless.
Sensing the terrifying aura coming from this Earth Devil, everyone was shocked.
Their faces paled.
"Earth Puppet beasts, why are there Earth Puppets this year? In the past years, it was only ordinary beast puppets, why are they using something as terrifying as Earth Puppets this year? This assessment is much more difficult than the previous years. "
"The Azure Dragon Institute changes every year, we don't know what the Azure Dragon Institute will do, we can only abide by the Azure Dragon Institute's rules."
Some of the students were discussing in low voices, many of them had worried expressions on their faces.
The chief examiner looked coldly at the three hundred plus students who were either eager to give it a try or worried. He then turned to his two assistants, smiling, "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, how many of these students do you think will pass the assessment?"
"In the past years, it's considered not bad if there were more than twenty people in a batch, but this year's assessment is made up of Earth Puppets, increasing the difficulty by a large margin. Therefore, if there are more than ten people passing, it's already considered a good result."
One of the examiners said.
"Now that the Azure Dragon Institute has increased the difficulty of the assessment, it's clear that they want to recruit more geniuses to nurture. This action increases the difficulty of the assessment, I hope there will be a few true geniuses in this batch." Another examiner said.
The chief examiner nodded in agreement.
If they could recruit a few geniuses for the Azure Dragon Institute, they would also be rewarded by the Azure Dragon Institute.
"The assessment officially begins! Now, who will be the first to take the assessment? " The chief examiner asked.
The crowd fell silent!
"I'll go …" After a brief moment of silence, someone finally spoke up, taking a step forward.
This person was a young noble, clad in white robes, handsome and confident.
"Yang Qi, son of the Great General of the North, Yang Zhenbei!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
This person's identity was extraordinary.
The Great General of the North was one of the Four Great Marshals of the True Martial Empire. He had a large number of troops under his command, and he guarded the borders and defended the empire. He had an extremely high prestige in the True Martial Empire.
As for the sons of the Great General of the North, each one of them was the son of a general.
Yang Qi was the youngest son of the Great General of the North. He possessed outstanding talent and had been cultivating in the Ocean of Clouds Academy.
At this time, Yang Qi had already jumped into the arena.
"Roar!"
The Earth Demon Puppet roared and charged at Yang Qi.
Swish!
There was a flash of light!
A spear appeared in Yang Qi's hand.
It was his weapon.
Facing the Earth Demon Puppet's attack, Yang Qi stabbed out with his spear three times in a row.
The first spear split the world.
The second spear pierced through mountains and rivers.
The third spear calmed the world.
Yang Qi stabbed the Earth Puppet three times in a row, each spear faster than the last. Everyone watched as Yang Qi forced the Earth Puppet to retreat repeatedly.
Pu!
With the third spear, Yang Qi's spear pierced through the Earth Demon Puppet's chest.
"Hah!"
Yang Qi shouted and actually lifted the Earth Puppet's mountainous body into the air.
