Today was the day of the Hidden Fog Academy's recruitment.
Some ten-star students didn't know about it, while some ten-star students did. However, not many people cared because no one thought that a new ten-star student would join this year. After all, there hadn't been a new ten-star student in the past 30 years.
Besides, the ten-star students who could join the Hidden Fog Academy today could be said to be outsiders.
In terms of outsiders, not counting the nine-star students who passed the exam to become ten-star students, it had been a hundred years since an outsider passed the exam and became a ten-star student.
"In another 50 years, I will graduate and enter the Hidden Fog Sect to become an inner sect disciple."
In the ten-star student dormitory group, two people were sitting at a table in a low-grade dormitory. They were drinking tea and chatting.
"You will be free soon … I still have to wait another 100 years."
The other person sighed.
"The rules set by the academy are too rigid … If you want to graduate early and become an inner sect disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, you have to break the record set by a ten-star student in the past."
"It is said that this rule was set by the Hidden Fog Sect to let the ten-star students cultivate … After all, if you go to the Hidden Fog Sect, the competition will be even greater. That place isn't like the normal students. The oldest student there is no older than 3000 years old. That place is filled with geniuses who are thousands of years old. Even if you have the same talent and perception, they are twice or thrice older than you. What do you have to compete with them?"
"That being said … but as the saying goes, only with competitiveness comes motivation. Although there is competition among us ten-star students, it is more of a competition based on status and background."
…
As the two of them chatted, they subconsciously glanced toward the depths of the 10-star student dormitory with a hint of enmity in their eyes.
The ten-star dormitory was the best of the five high-grade dormitories. Only one of them was able to get in by relying on strength.
The other four were able to get in by relying on their status and background.
Regardless of their status and background, with their strength, they would at most be able to stay in a medium-grade dormitory.
Pa!
Just as the two were drinking cup after cup of tea gloomily, a light sound suddenly came from the entrance of another low-grade dormitory. In this quiet environment, it was particularly harsh.
"Hmm?"
While both of them were still in a daze, a voice resonated from outside. "Ding Yan, our Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star student, Duan Ling Tian, has passed the assessment today. He's here to challenge you. You know the rules, so there's no need to explain them."
"Don't waste too much time, lest you lose without a fight."
After the voice was heard, the two exchanged glances. "This is … the voice of Ten Stars Hall's Teacher Chu Fengyang?"
"I think so."
The next moment, the two of them stood up tacitly and walked out of the courtyard. At a glance, they saw three figures standing in front of the low-rank dormitory.
They recognized two of them.
Teacher Chu Fengyang, who was in the Ten Stars Hall, and Liu Jin, who was at the bottom of the Ten Stars Hall, were present.
Other than the two of them, there was another figure standing proudly at the side.
This was a young man in purple clothes. He had a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and an extraordinary temperament. With just a glance, it made them feel ashamed of their inferiority. "He … is the new 10-star student that was recruited today?"
"Didn't Teacher Chu Fengyang already say that? Moreover, he even put up the challenge card. "
"My God … In our Hidden Fog Academy, it has been hundreds of years since an outsider became a 10-star student, right?"
…
The two of them were shocked. At the same time, they silently remembered the name of this young man in purple clothes. He was Duan Lingtian.
"A new student?"
Not long after Chu Fengyang finished speaking, a creaking sound came from the courtyard. Then, a red figure walked out of the room and arrived in front of the courtyard in the blink of an eye. As soon as he approached, the courtyard door automatically opened to both sides.
Of course, the courtyard door wouldn't open by itself. He used his own strength and aura to open the courtyard door.
After walking out of the courtyard door, he took down the challenge card hanging on the door. "Duan Lingtian?"
At the same time, he looked at the purple figure standing at the side. "Teacher Chu, is he Duan Lingtian?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was also sizing up the person who came out of the courtyard.
He knew that this was Ding Yan, the person that Chu Fengyang chose for him to challenge.
Ding Yan was nearly two meters tall. He wore a red robe and had a resolute face. A pair of tiger-like eyebrows gave off a majestic aura. He stood there like an iron tower, and his body seemed to be constantly emitting a fiery aura.
Ding Yan was an expert in the law of fire.
On the way here, Liu Jin had told Duan Lingtian about this through voice transmission.
"That's right."
Chu Fengyang replied. At the same time, he said straightforwardly, "Ding Yan, you know the rules, so I won't say much. Since you're here, let's set a time. "
"No need."
Ding Yan shook his head. "Since you're here, Teacher Chu, you don't have to make a trip in the future. Let's do it now."
"It's good that I haven't had a chance to relax in a long time."
Ding Yan looked deeply at Duan Lingtian as he spoke. However, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. "New student, you're quite strong to be able to pass the ten-star assessment. However, you've just entered and you're already thinking of seizing my low-grade dorm room. I can only say that you've picked the wrong person.
Today, let me, your senior brother, teach you how to behave properly. Young man, don't dream of reaching the heavens in a single step. "
Ding Yan's tone was lecturing.
"Of course, if you need time to prepare, I can give you …"
Just as Ding Yan was about to speak again, Duan Lingtian finally spoke. However, his tone was extremely calm. It was as though he was not affected by Ding Yan's mockery at all. "There's no need. If you think you can do it now, then let's do it now.
Since Teacher Chu is here, he can help me write a new challenge plaque and hang it in the high-grade dorm room. "
The moment Duan Ling Tian's words left his mouth, apart from Chu Feng Yang who had a wry smile on his face, Liu Jin who was standing next to him looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
Ding Yan, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh. "Boy, do you mean … you can defeat me?"
"Teacher Chu, do I need to go to a specific location to challenge him?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Chu Fengyang. He no longer paid attention to Ding Yan.
Chu Fengyang nodded. "You need to go to the challenge platform behind the Ten Stars Hall."
"Okay."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Then, he glanced at Ding Yan and said indifferently, "If you're unwilling to admit defeat, then bring me to the challenge platform now."
Ding Yan's eyes gleamed coldly. "Since you want to embarrass yourself, I'll fulfill your wish!"
After he finished speaking, he led the way in front.
Duan Lingtian followed closely behind him.
As for Chu Fengyang and Liu Jin, they followed suit.
From the beginning until the end, many people from the low-grade dorm nearby had come out to watch. In the beginning, they did not know what was going on. However, they finally realized what was going on in the end.
"Ding Yan is being challenged?"
"The new student who challenged him is called Duan Lingtian? Is he a ten-star student who passed the recruitment test today? "
"He just came in, and he wants to stay in the low-grade dorm room?"
"Even if he wants to stay in the low-grade dorm room, there's no need for him to challenge Ding Yan, right? Ding Yan is one of the strongest 10-star students in our Lower Tier Dormitory. There are only a few others who are on par with him. However, at most, they'll be on par with him. "
"That's right … Ding Yan specializes in the law of fire. In terms of combat strength, even those who are on par with him are slightly inferior to him to a certain extent."
"I still don't understand … Why would that new student choose Ding Yan as his opponent?"
…
A group of Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star students walked out of the low-grade dorm. They were all curious, but in the end, they still followed to watch the fun.
It had been a long time since any of the ten-star students took the initiative to challenge another person.
Even if there were occasional challenges, it was just a small matter.
Moreover, they all had a certain understanding of each other's strength.
As for today's two protagonists, although they knew one of them, the other person was completely unfamiliar to them. The other person was a ten-star student who had just entered today's recruitment test!
"Let's go! Let's watch the fun! "
"I have to send a voice transmission to Wang Dong and ask him to join in the fun."
…
At first, only the ten-star students followed Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan to watch the fun. However, gradually, more and more ten-star students walked out of the low-grade dorm room. There were even some who walked out of the middle-grade dorm room.
After coming out, they all walked in the same direction.
Ten Stars Hall.
To be precise, it was the challenge stage behind the Ten Stars Hall.
The existence of the Ten Stars Palace was to serve the 10-star students. Other than the Ten Stars Palace being able to handle the various procedures of the 10-star students, there were also many challenge platforms set up behind the Ten Stars Palace for the 10-star students to challenge each other.
Today's challenge stage was originally empty.
However, as time passed, more and more people came.
Of course, the people who came were mainly here to watch the fun.
…
Under everyone's gaze, Duan Lingtian stood in the air above the challenge stage, facing Ding Yan.
"He's Duan Lingtian? The new student who just arrived today? "
"I didn't expect that after a hundred years, our Hidden Fog Academy would recruit another ten-star student. Being able to pass the ten-star assessment means that his strength is not bad. He's not inferior to the weaker ones among us."
"He just entered and he already challenged Ding Yan, one of the strongest ten-star students in the low-grade dorm room. He's really a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger!"
"I heard that he challenged Ding Yan because Teacher Chu Fengyang suggested it."
…
More and more people came. In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty people had gathered. That was half of the ten-star students.
Clearly, it was human nature to watch the fun.
Whether it was humans or gods, it was the same.
