The Central Academy was located in the center of the continent.
It was the best and most authoritative cultivation academy in the entire continent. It occupied the area with the most abundant spirit energy. It taught everyone regardless of background and was knowledgeable. Its prestige suppressed many sects, and it almost monopolized the world's most talented young men and women.
In the past few years, those who walked out of the Central Academy were all people with illustrious family backgrounds and outstanding talents.
Its triennial enrollment day was naturally especially lively. In front of the wide gate, there was a long and densely packed line. At a glance, there was a sea of people.
After countless proud young men and women registered, they sat on a flying profound ship supported by Xuan Li and set off for the examination site.
However, not long after the profound airship had taken off, the crowd began to murmur rustling.
"This direction isn't right. Aren't we going to Nanhuai Island?"
"Your information is too outdated. Yes, the examination in the past was held at Nanhuai Island, but this year, the chief invigilator changed. She chose this location — — didn't you know? "
"Damn it! Half of my family's savings were thrown on that island, and they actually changed the location this year?! "
"Shh! You're cheating so loudly, are you tired of living? "
The noisy whispers gradually spread throughout the profound ship. Many people who bet on the wrong treasure looked in the direction they came from, beat their chests and stomped their feet. They hugged their heads and cried. The scene was chaotic.
However, the profound ship was merciless. It quickly flew in the direction of Luo Ridge, drawing a long white line in the sky.
At the front of the profound ship, high up in the sky, stood a cold and elegant figure.
"She" was still wearing an extremely simple white dress with a blooming Ice Spirit Flower on her forehead. Light blue profound energy intertwined with the wind, turning into specks of fluorescent light that floated by her side.
The wind whistled and rolled up the hem of her dress, revealing Yingbai's delicate wrist.
The slender belt of her dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a flying immortal standing in the clouds.
… …
In only half a day, the profound ship arrived at Luo Ridge.
The profound ship was suspended on the highest cliff. It was huge, like a floating immortal island high up in the sky.
Xie Ziyou's white robes fluttered in the wind as she stood in mid-air. With a gentle wave of her hand, a gentle breeze blew over and carried the Yuhuan examinees to various corners of the mountain ridge.
Within a radius of a few thousand miles around the Luo Ridge, there were countless dangerous areas. Even though the Central Academy had the courage to bring weak candidates here for the examination, they only set aside a mountain area as the examination area.
Xie Ziyou had his own plans.
His female disguise was extremely famous in the Academy, and he had the support of the Dean. It didn't take much effort for him to set the location of the examination at Luo Ridge. The designated area just happened to be the mountain where Guan Heng was hiding.
The content of the assessment was simple and straightforward — defeat other candidates and steal their bracelets. The more Yuhuan they had in their hands, the higher their score would be.
Where there were people, there were conflicts and disputes.
These examinees were about the same age as Guan Heng, and they were all inexperienced. They were high-spirited and had the ambition to become famous in one battle. This was the first time they stepped onto the most exciting stage of the continent, and they wanted to compete with other talented youths of the same generation.
Xie Ziyou had deliberately made that bracelet, and its style was very similar to the jade bracelet he was hiding in.
If these guys swarmed into the mountain ridge like a swarm of flies and encountered Guan Heng — there would definitely be a conflict.
"Sigh …"
At this time, summer had just passed, and the air was cool and refreshing. The blue sky was high, and the clouds were like cotton.
Xie Ziyou stood quietly at the top of the cliff, his eyes gazing into the distance at a dense maple forest halfway up the mountain. Layers upon layers of green reflected the gorgeous sunlight, sparkling as far as the eye could see. Every leaf was as bright as colored glass.
Guan Heng was there at this time.
Nearly a quarter of the hundred examinees were specially taken care of by him. He had secretly arranged for them to land near the maple forest.
Everything was going according to plan, but for some reason, Xie Ziyou's gaze drifted into the distance, and she couldn't feel happy.
The whistling wind seemed to blow into her head, turning her consciousness white. All kinds of distracting thoughts came in a rush, squeezing and messing up her thoughts.
Xie Ziyou thought in a daze that the maple forest … was a pity.
After a chaotic battle, everything would probably be destroyed, right?
The sun and the moon were unknown in the mountain, and the vegetation was lush. It was spring all year round, and he only relied on the maple forest to distinguish the seasons.
It was strange. Although they were both in a place full of spiritual aura, the maple leaves still adhered to their own laws of life. When autumn came, the mountains would be crimson, and the forest would be dyed red. When the autumn wind blew, the maple leaves would tremble, and they would be like a dazzling flame.
And Guan Heng …
"Junior Sister!"
A sudden call came from behind, interrupting Xie Ziyou's thoughts.
At the top of the cliff, the "girl"'s eyes gradually turned cold, but she didn't turn around.
A tall young man walked over from behind her. He had a high nose bridge and slender eyebrows. His blue brocade robe was embroidered with delicate embroidery, with dragons soaring and tigers leaping.
Wind blew under his feet. Although he was handsome, his every movement was full of arrogance.
Looking at Xie Ziyou's slender and elegant back, the young man's narrow eyes flashed with eagerness. He laughed loudly and said, "Junior Sister, it's rare that you're interested in the academy's enrollment. With Junior Sister as the chief examiner, this batch of examinees is really lucky! "
Xie Ziyou frowned slightly.
There were many students in the Central Academy, and not everyone was qualified to call her "Junior Sister" or "Senior Sister".
In front of the instructors, most students were just students, not disciples.
This young man's surname was Wu, and his name was Cong. He was of noble birth, and was the legitimate son of a thousand-year-old family in the capital. Now, like Miss Xie, he was a disciple of the dean, which made them seem closer.
Because he had entered the academy earlier, he could indeed be considered Xie Ziyou's senior brother.
Xie Ziyou cleared her throat and said coldly, "Senior Brother, I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to the examinees."
Wu Cong smiled slightly and said, "They're just a bunch of immature brats. At most, they'll be able to climb trees and steal birds. Besides, with Junior Sister, a cultivator of the seventh realm secretly protecting them, how could there be any danger?"
"I'm just looking for an excuse to come out and play as an assistant examiner."
The young man's expression was undisciplined, and his disdain was obvious. He casually called them "brats." None of the talents in the mountains could enter his eyes.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingering on the graceful back view in front of him. Following the "girl's" beautiful figure, his gaze swept across the fluttering, ink-like hair in the air. His eyes overflowed with infatuation.
Before Xie Ziyou appeared, he was also a once-in-a-century prodigy. He was in the limelight, and no one could rival him.
As soon as he entered the academy, he alarmed the dean, who had been in seclusion for a long time, and he was immediately taken in as the last disciple of the strongest cultivator.
Unfortunately, not long after he became the last disciple, Miss Xie appeared out of nowhere. Her aptitude was outstanding, and almost everyone's eyes popped out.
Her entire body was transparent, and all the acupoints were connected.
This meant that she did not need to deliberately cultivate. Eating and drinking could increase her cultivation, and she had no bottlenecks on the path of cultivation.
She was practically the darling of heaven and earth. All the so-called "geniuses" when placed together with her were like stars against the bright moon.
The dean even broke the rules and went against the oath he had made, and opened the door to take in this junior sister.
Wu Cong's thoughts sped up. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dim light flickered in his eyes.
Ever since his junior sister entered the academy, no one had looked at him.
And his junior sister's progress was indeed astonishing. At such a young age, she had already broken through the seventh level. On the other hand, he was still hovering around the sixth level, and it had been difficult for him to advance even an inch in the past few years.
… But it didn't matter.
Wu Cong thought in his heart, he did not mind at all.
Women … After all, they had to rely on men to live.
His junior sister was so talented, and her appearance and temperament were one in a million. When she got married in the future, of course, she could only be matched with such a handsome and outstanding expert like him!
Thinking of this, the young man's eyes blazed, and the corner of his lips curled up.
He stroked his right hand lightly, and touched the storage jade bracelet, and took out a clear jade box.
The jade was sparkling and almost transparent. There was a faint light blue air flowing around the jade box, and it transformed into an incomparably mysterious Dao pattern, which disappeared in an instant, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
"Junior sister worked so hard to invigilate the exam. As your senior brother, I can't not express my gratitude."
"Recently, I heard that you like to eat fish, so I specially sent out the elites in my family to slaughter this sixth level Shark King. I also asked the imperial chef to cook it into a dish, and I hope that junior sister can taste it."
"Oh right, junior sister, the pear blossom wine in Luo County is quite famous. Before coming here, I specially went to get a few jugs. Since we are free today, why don't we drink a few cups on this cliff and rest for a while? "
Sharks hid in the deep sea. They were fierce and ruthless, and they swam quickly. They were the most difficult to catch, let alone a sixth level Shark King.
Luo County had good tea and good wine. Xie Ziyou already knew about it on the day he first met Guan Heng.
But for some reason, when he looked at the moving profound patterns on the jade box, and the mellow fragrance of the good wine floated to his nose, he felt a burst of irritation.
Xie Ziyou's brows furrowed even tighter.
"No need," he said coldly with a straight face, "I still have the heavy responsibility of being an invigilator, so I don't dare to be negligent. Senior brother, enjoy these delicacies yourself."
After saying this, Xie Ziyou lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot.
Suddenly, a strong wind gathered, and wrapped the "young girl" in it. A faint profound current condensed around her body, like a swirling cloud, blowing her black hair like sandalwood, and her skirt like snow.
The Ice Spirit Flower on her temples was tender and glistening. Xie Ziyou leaped, and her feet actually floated in the air, gliding down the mountain.
Elegant and otherworldly, unparalleled in elegance.
"Junior sister!"
Wu Cong's pupils suddenly shrank. He anxiously took two steps forward, and reached out to grab Xie Ziyou's sleeve.
But her deep blue Xuan Li swayed and brushed his hand away.
Left alone on the cliff, Wu Cong looked at the pure white figure in the distance, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Walking on air, only experts of seventh level and above could do it.
He had been stuck at sixth level for many years. Even if he wanted to catch up … there was nothing he could do.
