The sudden shout caused a commotion in the crowd. The shout did not come from the area where the Everlasting Institute was located, but from outside the crowd.
When he looked over, he saw that the crowd had begun to give way to a small path, and in this small path, a man and a woman with beautiful faces and dressed in white Taoist robes were walking in the direction of the high platform with their heads held high.
"Xing Jue, it's Xing Jue and Senior Sister Yao Di. This is great, this is great!"
Compared to the other factions, the disciples of the Everlasting Institute were extremely excited. The two were Xing Jue and Yao Di.
Yao Di was ranked second on the Power Ranking in the past and was publicly recognized as the strongest female disciple of the Everlasting Institute.
As for Xing Jue's current reputation in the Limitless Academy, no one could match up to him. That palm strike from a distance back then had already become a legend in the Limitless Academy. His prestige in the hearts of the disciples was even greater than Fang Lianyi, who was ranked first on the Strong Ranking.
They had been humiliated before, and Fang Lianyi and Han Xue had only passed the test. Their only hope to wash away the humiliation was on Xing Jue.
Xing Jue and Yao Di did not enter the area where the Everlasting Institute was located. Instead, they exchanged a glance with the crowd and smiled. After informing them that they were safe, they went up the platform.
"Are the two of you disciples of the Everlasting Institute?" Elder Yan Cheng, who was on the platform, looked at Xing Jue and Yao Di with a pout. He seemed to want to make things difficult for them.
"Is there a need to ask? Can't you see for yourself? " However, in response to the elder's question, Xing Jue pointed at the Everlasting Institute's robe he was wearing.
"You …" Xing Jue's words caused the old man to choke. One must know that Xing Jue was the first person on the examination platform to speak to him in such a manner.
"What about me? I'm only here to participate in the Reincarnation Peak's test. What? Are you still going to make things difficult for me? "
Seeing this, Xing Jue pretended to be wronged, but in reality, he was just using Reincarnation Peak as a shield. This elder was only a high-level Shura Master. In Xing Jue's eyes, he was nothing, so Xing Jue was not afraid of him at all.
"Humph, a disciple of the Everlasting Institute. How arrogant. Aren't you afraid of losing enough face?"
"You actually want to embarrass yourselves so much? Why would I stop you? Come on, just place your hands on this stone tablet."
Elder Yan Cheng's face contorted in anger when he heard Xing Jue's words. However, when he thought about the average strength of the Everlasting Institution and realized that Xing Jue and Yao Di's aptitude wasn't that great, he decided to make things difficult for them.
After all, he was only a representative of the Reincarnation Peak. He did not have the right to stop any disciples from participating in the test. Therefore, he could only mock Xing Jue and Yao Di after they failed.
"Senior Yao Di, you go first!" Seeing this, Xing Jue did not stand on ceremony and gave Yao Di a look.
"En." Yao Di nodded slightly and walked to the front of the stone tablet with light steps. She placed her fair hand on the stone tablet.
"Buzz!"
The moment her hands came into contact with the stone tablet, a dazzling light burst out from it. When the light dissipated, everyone could clearly see the word "Two" written on it.
"It's Level Two aptitude …"
"I didn't expect someone from the Everlasting Institution to pass the test …"
When the crowd saw the words on the stone tablet, there was an uproar. Level Two aptitude was only a symbol of passing the test.
They wouldn't have been surprised if this had happened to the disciples of the other sects. However, they were surprised that the Everlasting Academy had failed six times.
"Alright, it's your turn."
Seeing that Yao Di had actually passed the test, the old man was very disappointed. However, his target was Xing Jue. This was because he could feel that Xing Jue was only a middle stage Asura Martial Master.
The disciples who had failed the test were all at his level. Therefore, the elder was sure that Xing Jue would not be able to pass the test.
"Hiss!"
However, Xing Jue had already seen through the Elder's thoughts. He did not panic or panic as he took small, leisurely steps and walked to the front of the stone tablet.
The moment he raised his hand, he became the center of attention. However, other than the disciples of the Everlasting Institution who had high hopes for Xing Jue's results, most people just wanted to see the Everlasting Institution make a fool of themselves.
After all, those who dared to step onto the stage rarely failed. Those who had failed multiple times like the Everlasting Institution were also the center of attention.
"Buzz."
However, the moment Xing Jue's hand came into contact with the stone tablet, a ray of light shot out from the stone tablet. It was as if a bright sun had fallen on the stage. The light was so dazzling that the crowd could not open their eyes.
"No way? Did the Everlasting Institution really have a disciple like that? "
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
The change in front of them shocked everyone. This strange scene had appeared a few days ago when a disciple from Yan City was taking the test. It was a very bad omen.
However, everyone could feel that Xing Jue was only an Intermediate Asura Martial Master. His strength was worlds apart from that person. Naturally, they did not believe that Xing Jue could also reach that level.
"Oh my god, he … he really obtained Level One aptitude?"
However, when the light faded and a simple and unadorned word appeared on the stone tablet, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Because the truth in front of them told them that Xing Jue was the second person who had obtained Level One aptitude in the past few days.
Level One aptitude not only meant that the disciple had outstanding strength, but it also meant that he was extremely talented. He was a genius that only appeared once in a hundred years.
At that moment, the crowd was filled with complicated emotions. If such a person had appeared in other forces, they would not have felt this way. However, it was difficult for them to accept that it had appeared in the Everlasting Institution, which was considered to be the weakest force in this competition.
"How could such a kid obtain Level One aptitude? Is there something wrong with the Testing Stone?"
However, while the crowd was still in shock, outside the square, in a tall palace, there were two figures, a man and a woman, quietly observing the square.
The two of them were wearing red robes with the word "Reincarnation" written in black on the back of their robes. Furthermore, their auras were extremely powerful. They were Asura Martial Arts Grandmasters. They were the disciples of the Reincarnation Peak and the organizers of the event.
"The Testing Stone was brought from the Reincarnation Peak. How could there be something wrong with it?" retorted the female disciple.
"That kid from Yan City, did I say anything when he obtained Level One aptitude? But this kid is only an Intermediate Asura Martial Master. This is too suspicious. "The man snorted coldly, as if he was very sure that there was something wrong with the Testing Stone.
"The Assessment Stone tests your aptitude, not your strength. Even with your current strength, you'll only get a Grade 2 aptitude test." The woman corrected him once again. Her words touched the man's sore spot.
"Hmph, whether it's a mistake or not, we will know after the competition." The man's face darkened. He snorted coldly and walked away, no longer observing the test in the square.
The woman seemed to have expected the man's reaction. She didn't pay it any mind. Instead, she turned her attention back to the stage.
"Xing Jue? What a gutsy kid. I wonder if your performance will be as dazzling as today. "
When he saw the name signed by Xing Jue on the register from ten thousand meters away, an expectant smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, Xing Jue, you are amazing. You did not disappoint us!"
When Xing Jue and Yao Di walked down the stage, the people of the Everlasting Institute rushed forward and surrounded them. They cheered loudly, ignoring the reactions of the people around them.
Today, they had truly suffered a lot of vexation. As for the execution, it allowed them to fiercely vent their anger.
Because Xing Jue had not only made the people who looked down on the Everlasting Institute shut their mouths, but also made them look at the Everlasting Institute in a new light.
However, Xing Jue didn't know why he had caused such a commotion, because he didn't know what the first-grade aptitude meant.
However, when he walked down the stage, he could tell from the reactions of the elders and disciples that he had accidentally caused a commotion.
"Oh? I can actually avoid the first round and proceed to the finals? If that's the case, the first-grade aptitude is really good stuff. "
At that moment, Xing Jue and the others had already returned to the place where the people of the Everlasting Institute were staying. Sect Master Hong Qiang even personally explained the benefits of the first-grade aptitude to Xing Jue.
"Xing Jue, don't be too happy. I only realized that there are many strong people in the East Region after coming here. I have to admit that the disciples of the other forces are all very outstanding."
"During the finals, there will definitely be only the strongest remaining after layers of filtering. This means that when you enter the arena, the opponent you will face will be the strongest disciple in the entire Eastern Region." Seeing Xing Jue's relaxed face, Headmaster Hong Qiang reminded in an extremely serious manner.
"Heh, don't worry, Sect Master. I'm definitely going to get the right to enter the Reincarnation Peak."
Xing Qing had a confident smile on his face because he had already made up his mind. He had to enter the Reincarnation Peak. Only there would he be able to obtain better cultivation conditions and increase his strength even faster.
Although he had promised the Soul Elder that he would wait for him at the Everlasting Institute, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to enter the Reincarnation Peak. Furthermore, he believed that with the contract between him and the Soul Elder, even if he was in the Everlasting Institute, the Soul Elder would still be able to find him.
Today, the people of the Everlasting Institute were really happy. Whether it was those who had conflicts with Xing Jue or those who thought highly of Xing Jue, they all surrounded Xing Jue and kept praising him. It wasn't until after dinner that Xing Jue escaped from the crowd.
After walking out of the palace, Xing Jue wandered around for a long time before he finally saw Lin Shishi on a tree. "Girl, I was wondering why I didn't see you. So you're here to find some peace and quiet."
This was the first time he had spoken to Lin Shishi since he had appeared. Furthermore, he knew that Lin Shishi had been very worried about him. Thus, when he saw Lin Shishi, he smiled and moved closer to her.
"Right now, you're getting more and more dazzling. The distance between us is also getting further and further apart. You're my best friend. I really don't know who else can make me speak my mind to after you leave." At this moment, Lin Shishi's expression wasn't too good. She seemed to be very worried about Xing Jue's departure.
"Silly girl, all good things must come to an end. Besides, didn't you reunite with your father? You can talk to him in the future."
"Furthermore, Senior Sister Yao Di, Senior Sister Liu Bing, and Zhang Xing and Zhang Meng from the Dragon Group are all very loyal and trustworthy people."
"Don't isolate yourself. Actually, there are still many good people in the Limitless Institute. However, if you don't interact with them, you won't be able to get closer to them."
Xing Jue knew what Lin Shishi was thinking. He was actually very worried about her. He didn't want to see her return to her lonely world in the future. Thus, he could only try his best to guide her. At least after he left, Lin Shishi wouldn't have to live alone.
"Heh … Maybe!"
Lin Shishi forced a faint smile at Xing Jue's words. Because of her different experiences, she was a loner. It was really difficult for her to get along well with everyone like Xing Jue.
"Oh right, Shishi, I've prepared a gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it." Seeing Lin Shishi like this, Xing Jue quickly changed the topic. With a flick of his wrist, the fourth-rank immortal herb seed appeared in front of Lin Shishi.
