Three days after the battle, it was the day of the Limitless Courtyard's annual Central Courtyard disciple exam.
The Central Courtyard was a place that all the disciples of the supermonastery yearned for. Being able to enter the Central Courtyard was equivalent to reaching the heavens in a single step. As such, there was a huge wave of excitement within the supermonastery.
Furthermore, many disciples who were in secluded cultivation also came out at this time, preparing to show off their skills during the exam.
However, just as the supermonastery disciples were undergoing a strict exam to enter the Central Courtyard, Xing Jue was feeling melancholy over the fact that he had used up all the Rank 4 Body Refining Essence.
"Ai, without the Body Refining Essence, my cultivation speed is greatly reduced."
"Originally, I could have broken through to the middle stage Asura Martial Master realm very quickly. But if this continues, won't it be forever?"
"It's just that the Rank 4 Immortal Grass is so rare. This is really vexing."
At this moment, Xing Jue was sitting in the courtyard of the Dragon Group, looking at the grass plate in his hand as he muttered to himself and sighed. He had used one drop of the Rank 4 Body Refining Essence every day. After eight months, he had finally used it all up.
Because today was the day that Zhang Xing and the others were taking the exam, almost all the members of the Dragon Group had gone to join in the fun. Only Xing Jue was left. He sat alone in the courtyard, sighing to himself. He felt somewhat miserable.
The reason why Xing Jue did not go was because Xing Jue, who had already reached the initial stage Asura Martial Master realm, had already obtained the right to be exempted from the exam. After today, he would be able to enter the Central Courtyard.
"Brother Xing Jue, we are back!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the courtyard of the Dragon Group. Zhang Meng was the first to run into the courtyard excitedly.
"Brother Zhang, did you succeed?" At this moment, not only was Zhang Meng excited, even Zhang Xing, who was following closely behind her, was filled with joy. As such, Xing Jue was certain that Zhang Xing had passed the exam.
"How could it be so simple? I failed!" However, what surprised Xing Jue was that Zhang Xing shook his head.
"Eh … failed? Was the exam really that difficult? "
Xing Jue couldn't help but be shocked. Logically speaking, as long as one's strength reached the high level of Asura Realm, they would be exempted from the test and directly become a disciple of the Central Academy.
The so-called test was only for the disciples of the Intermediate Asura Realm. Zhang Xingnai was one of the most outstanding Intermediate Asura Realm cultivators in the surrounding branches. Xing Jue felt that it would not be a problem for him to pass the test with his strength.
"Brother Xing Jue, there were hundreds of participants in today's test, but only a dozen or so passed."
"Come to think of it, there are less than 20 of you who were exempted from the exam this year." Zhang Meng suddenly said.
"A few hundred? There are actually so many mid-stage Asura warriors in the branch? "
Xing Jue could not help but be surprised, because in the east courtyard, including Zhang Xing, there were only three Asura warriors, and the other two were two old men who did not care about worldly affairs.
"Yes, it goes without saying that the south courtyard is very strong. The majority of the participants this time came from the south courtyard." Zhang Meng sighed emotionally.
"The south courtyard's foundation is deep, but my east courtyard is not lacking either. With these outstanding members of the Dragon group, the east courtyard will definitely be the main force in next year's test," said Xing Jue confidently. He even patted Zhang Xing's shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Xing Jue. In truth, I feel like not being able to pass the test is a good thing. After all, there are countless experts in the Central Academy. If you don't have enough strength, even if you go, you'll only be bullied," said Zhang Xing.
Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Xing Jue finally realized that Zhang Xing had already thought things through. It was no wonder he had been so happy after failing the test.
The next morning, under the warm send-off of the members of the Dragon group, Xing Jue and the other disciples who had passed the test left for the Central Academy.
Before Xing Jue left, Zhang Xing, who was his best friend ever since he had come to the Everlasting Academy, seriously told Xing Jue, "Xing Jue, when you get to the Central Academy, you have to keep a low profile. That place is not like the supermonastery."
"Keep a low profile? Is that really possible? "
On the way there, Xing Jue had been thinking about this. In truth, Xing Jue really wanted to keep a low profile, but sometimes no one would give him the chance to do so.
So it was extremely difficult for Xing Jue to keep a low profile, especially when he already had a powerful enemy in the Central Academy.
As he thought about this, Xing Jue and the others finally arrived at the Everlasting Academy's holy land, the Central Academy.
Although Xing Jue had already changed the supermonastery's badge to the Central Academy, Xing Jue still had the Dragon group's badge on his chest. That was because as long as he was still in the Everlasting Academy, Xing Jue would only be the leader of the Dragon group. He wouldn't be a member of any other faction.
Looking at the different gazes of the Central Academy's disciples, Xing Jue knew that the Central Academy's disciples already knew that they were the new disciples who had entered the Central Academy this year.
Xing Jue lowered his head to look at the badge in his hand. There was a number carved on it. That was where Xing Jue would be staying in the Central Academy.
When Xing Jue and the others entered the Central Academy, they weren't personally led in by the Elders. Instead, they were given the Central Academy's badge and allowed to enter the Central Academy on their own and find their own place of residence.
"The Central Academy's treatment is indeed better than the supermonastery's. The living environment should be much better as well."
Looking at the rows of majestic palaces that stretched as far as the eye could see, Xing Jue knew that residences similar to the Dragon group's wouldn't appear in the Central Academy. Clearly, each of them had their own designated palace to stay in. Their living conditions were much better than before.
At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly recalled the scene when he entered the main pavilion of the Yufeng Pavilion in the Mortal Realm. At that time, he had two reasons for entering the main pavilion.
Although one reason was for power, the other reason was to be able to match up to the woman in his heart, Li Xiaohan.
"Xiaohan, how are you doing now?"
Every time he thought of Li Xiaohan, Xing Jue felt a stabbing pain in his heart. In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed, but Xing Jue was still at the bottom of the hierarchy here. Returning to the Mortal Realm was still a long way off, but his longing for his lover was becoming more and more clear.
This time, other than the middle-aged man, the people who entered the Central Academy with Xing Jue were his grandparents who were over fifty years old. Standing among them, Xing Jue stood out.
So after entering the Central Academy and sighing, Xing Jue quickly separated himself from the group of new disciples. Holding the medallion in his hand, he wanted to ask the disciples of the Central Academy for directions. Right now, what he wanted to do the most was to know where his nest in the Central Academy was.
"Looks like you really have some guts. You actually dare to enter the Central Academy!" But just as Xing Jue arrived in front of a disciple, before he could even ask for directions, a man's voice suddenly rang out from behind Xing Jue.
Looking over, he saw over thirty people walking towards Xing Jue. These people's strength couldn't be underestimated. Furthermore, there were a few familiar faces among them. It was Zhou Peng, as well as the two men and one woman who had caused trouble for the Dragon group.
However, at this moment, the person who spoke to Xing Jue was a tall and mighty young man. He was also the only person whose strength was above Xing Jue's.
Looking at the group of people beside him who were extremely respectful to him, without needing to think too much, Xing Jue already guessed that the person in front of him should be the person ranked tenth on the Power Ranking, Wan Duan.
Facing the obstruction of Wan Duan and the others, Xing Jue also frowned slightly. This Wan Duan's strength was already at the level of a Medial Asura Martial Master. At this level, he could already use Medial Battle Techniques proficiently.
If Xing Jue were to fight with him, his chances of victory were very small. Furthermore, he had so many helpers by his side. Although he already knew that this Wan Duan would find trouble with him, he never expected it to be so soon.
At this moment, Xing Jue silently took out the Communication Talisman that Elder Ouyang had given him. Xing Jue held it in his hand, but he did not crush it quickly. This was because Xing Jue felt that asking for help from an elder the moment he entered the Central Academy was somewhat embarrassing.
"What's going on? Who is this brat? From the looks of it, he should be a disciple who has just entered the Central Academy this year. "
"He has just entered the Central Academy and he has already offended a fellow like Wan Duan. This brat is dead for sure!"
This sudden scene also attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples. After all, Wan Duan was a person on the Central Academy's Power Ranking. He was also a famous person in the Central Academy. At this moment, he had personally come to stop a new disciple who had just entered the Central Academy. Naturally, this attracted the curiosity of the surrounding disciples.
Just as Xing Jue was hesitating, Wan Duan and the others had already approached and surrounded Xing Jue, "Xing Jue, don't say that I, Wan Duan, bullied you. Kneel in front of me and kowtow to my brothers and I will let you go."
At such a close distance, Xing Jue could clearly feel how powerful the pressure that Wan Duan was emitting was. Although there was only a layer of distance between them, his strength was far above Xing Jue's.
Facing such a powerful Wan Duan, Xing Jue knew that he was definitely not a match for him in a direct confrontation. At this moment, Xing Jue decided to crush the Communication Talisman.
However, just as Xing Jue made up his mind, a little girl's voice suddenly rang out from outside the crowd, "Big brother Xing Jue!"
Then, a little girl who was only about 10 years old, wearing the robes of the Everlasting Academy, skipped into the crowd and jumped into Xing Jue's arms.
"Han Xiang, why are you still in the Central Academy?"
Looking at the sweet smile on the girl's face, Xing Jue immediately recognized that this was the little beggar he had saved, Han Xiang.
Seeing Han Xiang, Xing Jue was overjoyed. However, at this moment, he was puzzled by the Everlasting Academy's robes and the Central Academy's badge on her chest.
"Heh, that long-bearded grandpa said that my aptitude was not bad and wanted to keep me in the Everlasting Academy to train me. Now I am also a disciple of the Central Academy." Han Xiang squinted her eyes and pouted as she said proudly.
"Phew ~"
After hearing Han Xiang's words, before Xing Jue could say anything, the few new disciples nearby sucked in a breath of cold air. Moreover, their expressions became extremely ugly.
Among them, apart from a few middle-aged men, the rest were old men over 50 years old. They had cultivated for many years before entering the Central Academy.
Han Xiang was so young, and her strength had not even reached the Shura Realm. Yet, the Everlasting Academy made an exception and accepted her as a disciple of the Central Academy. How could they accept this? They had the urge to kill themselves with a piece of tofu.
Although Xing Jue was also shocked that Han Xiang had become a disciple of the Central Academy, Xing Jue was also shocked to discover that in just a year, Han Xiang had gone from a Battle-Sage to a high-level wargod.
This kind of cultivation speed was undeniably terrifying. Although the Everlasting Academy's nurturing couldn't be ruled out, it also proved Han Xiang's talent. With such talent, it was completely reasonable for the Everlasting Academy to focus on nurturing her.
In reality, many disciples of the Central Academy entered the Central Academy at a young age and began to be nurtured.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation where most of the disciples who entered the Central Academy were old while the disciples of the Central Academy were mostly young.
It was just that there were too few people like Han Xiang who became a disciple of the Central Academy at such a young age. It could be said that she was the first in history.
"All of you, why are you surrounding Big Brother Xing Jue? Get out of the way!" However, at this moment, Han Xiang's large eyes suddenly became fierce. She pointed at Wan Duan and the others and loudly scolded them.
"This …"
At this moment, not only were the surrounding people shocked, even Wan Duan had an ugly expression on his face.
The sudden appearance of a little girl in the Central Academy naturally became the center of attention.
Therefore, in the Central Academy, Han Xiang's name was known by everyone. She was a little ancestor that no one dared to provoke.
Although part of the reason was because she was the last disciple chosen by an elder, the main reason was because she had an amazing genius sister.
"Hmph, little girl, you dare to speak to me like this? Even in another ten years, you still won't be qualified! "
Although he knew that Han Xiang wasn't someone to be trifled with, as the tenth on the Power Ranking, how could Wan Duan be shouted at by a little girl in front of so many Central Academy disciples?
"Then, do you think I'm qualified?"
However, just as Wan Duan finished speaking, a feminine voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, two beautiful figures landed in the crowd. When the crowd saw these two figures, they were even more shocked!
