Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Du Shaofu frowned. After pondering for a moment, an emblem appeared in his hand. It was the Tianwu Academy emblem that Ouyang Shuang had dropped from the back of the King Scaled Demonic Tiger when he parted ways with her.
"Everyone, it is said that with this emblem, you will be able to seek the help of the seniors in Tianwu Academy. Is that true?" Du Shaofu said as he passed the emblem to the leading gray-robed young man.
The gray-robed young man took the emblem and the seven of them stared at the emblem. The elegant lady raised her head to look at Du Shaofu and asked, "You are holding the emblem of our Tianwu Academy. I wonder who gave it to you. If it is true, we will naturally bring you to Tianwu Academy."
"The person who gave me the emblem is called Ouyang Shuang. Do you know her?" Du Shaofu asked the seven of them.
As Du Shaofu spoke, the gazes of the seven changed simultaneously. The gray-robed young man, the plump young man, and the yellow-robed young man's expressions changed greatly. The gray-robed young man immediately asked Du Shaofu, "What is your relationship with Senior Ouyang?"
"This..."
Du Shaofu's eyebrows twitched. In the end, he could only say, "She is my elder sister."
Hearing this, the six of them looked much better for some reason. Even their gazes toward Du Shaofu became much friendlier.
The plump young man's gaze flickered, seemingly puzzled. He asked softly, "Are you really Senior Ouyang's younger brother? What is your name?"
Du Shaofu nodded. "I am Du Shaofu, her cousin. We met with some trouble when we were in the Dark Forest, so we parted ways."
Even though he was her cousin, Du Shaofu smiled bitterly in his heart. He did have an elder sister in Tianwu Academy, but this emblem was given to him by Ouyang Shuang.
"So you are Senior Ouyang's cousin. You should have said so earlier. Don't worry, there is no danger here. We will bring you to Tianwu Academy to look for Senior Ouyang." Hearing this, the plump young man immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Thank you very much." Du Shaofu was surprised. He didn't expect the title of tomboy to be so useful in Tianwu Academy.
"The freshmen's tempering assessment is already over. Anyway, we're going back to the Academy. So, come with us," the elegant woman said to Du Shaofu. Her gaze had become much gentler.
"Then let's return to the academy first." The grey-clothed youth nodded, and then he whistled sharply towards the sky.
"Hula …"
Along with the whistling sound, the air in the sky whistled. An extremely huge demonic beast flapped its wings and flew over. The collapsed treetops continued to rise and fall. An extremely huge flying demonic beast immediately fell through the gaps in the trees, flapping its wings and causing the dense forest to howl.
"A Wind Feather Demonic Condor at the early stage of the Pulsation Realm."
The Demonic Beast was covered in bluish-white feathers, and its aura was not weak. It was at the Pulse Realm, which surprised Du Shaofu a little.
Following which, Du Shaofu and the other seven leaped onto the Wind Feather Demonic Eagle and charged out of the dense forest, heading towards Tianwu Academy.
The bluish-blue sky seemed to have been cleansed by clear water, clean and gentle. Only a few drifting clouds could be seen in the clear blue sky.
"Hualala."
Suddenly, a loud whistling sound came from the sky. It was as though a hurricane was approaching, causing the entire sky to tremble.
Then, a large group of flying demonic beasts appeared in the distant sky. There were more than a hundred of them, and most of them were Wind Feather Demonic Eagles. On the back of each Wind Feather Demonic Eagle, there were many young men and women.
On a mountain peak in the distance, the mountain was so tall that it pierced through the clouds.
Several elders and burly men stood there with their clothes fluttering in the wind. Even though their auras were concealed, they still had an extraordinary disposition.
"There are quite a few good seedlings among this batch of new students. A few of them have rare talents. On average, they seem to be slightly stronger than the new students from the previous three years."
A long-robed elder who looked to be in his sixties spoke to the crowd on the mountain peak. His face was extremely rosy, and his body seemed to be filled with strength. "In this year's training exam, the top fifty new students have pretty good talents. Ninety percent of them are cultivators. It seems that our Martial Academy will be able to accept quite a few disciples with potential. However, there don't seem to be many Spirit Symbol Masters who can enter the top fifty. It seems that the Talisman Academy will not be able to fill up with much fresh blood this time. "
Hearing that, a woman in her fifties immediately glared at the old man in his sixties and unhappily said, "He Hu, what do you mean by that? Our Talisman Institute has never had many disciples. Do you think us Spirit Talisman Masters are the same as you cultivators and can be found everywhere?"
"Elder Sun is right. Spirit Symbol Masters are rare. Therefore, among the hundred people on the Martial Roll, there are only two students from the Talisman Institute." The long-robed elder called He Hu smiled faintly, but his tone was clearly extremely sarcastic.
"You …"
The long-robed woman called Elder Sun's face instantly flushed red from anger. However, she could not find any words to refute him. There were indeed only two students from the Talisman Academy among the hundred names on the Martial Ranking.
"The Martial Roll is a ranking of battle strength. Naturally, it is difficult for a Spirit Talisman Master to have an advantage. So, Elder Sun, you don't have to worry about it. At least, we Martial Cultivators are unable to refine the elixirs and Spirit Weapons refined by Spirit Talisman Masters."
When he saw Elder Sun's flushed face, the robust long-robed elder once again smiled and said, "What I mean is that Spirit Symbol Masters are not important. Instead, our Talisman Academy is becoming worse and worse. If this continues, we will probably not see any students from the Talisman Academy on the Martial Ranking.
"Hmph!"
Elder Sun snorted deeply. However, she had nothing to say. There were indeed only two students from the Talisman Academy on the Martial Ranking.
"Haha …"
He Hu laughed heartily when he saw Elder Sun suffer a setback. As one of the elders of the Martial Academy, he was naturally happy that the students from the Martial Academy suppressed the students from the Talisman Academy. He then looked at the surrounding crowd and said, "Why is vice principal Zhuge not here this time? According to our Tianwu Academy's tradition, the people in charge of the various academies should be present during the freshmen assessment. Vice principal Zhuge is in charge of the Weapon Academy, so why isn't he here this time?"
"It seems that no one from the Weapon Academy has entered the Martial Ranking for more than a decade. Currently, the two students on the Martial Ranking are from the Array Academy. Some time ago, there were still students from the Medicine Academy on the Martial Ranking, but they were kicked down recently. However, no one from the Weapon Academy has entered the Martial Ranking for more than a decade." Another purple-clothed woman on the back of the flying Demonic Beast said.
"Let's not talk about vice principal Zhuge anymore. After so many years, I reckon that he has not had a good time. If not for that incident, the Weapon Academy would not have collapsed and vice principal Zhuge would not have suffered such a heavy blow." The long-robed Elder Sun said.
"Sigh …"
Hearing her words, everyone sighed softly. After a brief moment, they leaped up and left …
Du Shaofu and the others sat cross-legged on the back of the Wind Feather Demonic Eagle. From their conversation, he found out that the seven of them were from the same batch as Ouyang Shuang. Ouyang Shuang was even on the Martial Ranking and there was no one in Tianwu Academy who didn't know of her.
As for the Martial Ranking, it was a ranking within Tianwu Academy and represented the strength of all the students in Tianwu Academy.
Out of the hundred students on the Martial Ranking, any student who entered the Martial Ranking was definitely a powerful existence.
Along the way, Du Shaofu asked the seven of them if Ouyang Shuang had returned to Tianwu Academy. However, the seven of them shook their heads and expressed that they didn't know. Recently, the freshmen examination had been held and many seniors had been sent out to patrol the area. Coincidentally, the seven of them were part of this group and thus, they hadn't returned to the academy for many days.
Without any news of Ouyang Shuang, Du Shaofu felt a little worried. However, he could only wait until they reached Tianwu Academy before asking around.
"Little brother, you have already missed the registration date for Tianwu Academy. All we can do now is to reach the academy first before thinking of a solution," the plump young man said to Du Shaofu. He was extremely enthusiastic towards Du Shaofu.
"Then, I'll have to thank Senior Zhang Yue." Du Shaofu nodded his head. From their conversation along the way, he found out that the plump young man was called Zhang Yue and that the leader was Liang Dong, Jiao Zuping.
The elegant lady was called Lv Jiaxue. Before Ouyang Shuang entered the Martial Ranking, she lived in the same dormitory as Ouyang Shuang. Thus, when she heard that Du Shaofu was Ouyang Shuang's cousin, she was exceptionally enthusiastic towards him.
"We're here. Tianwu Academy's campus is just ahead," Liang Dong suddenly said to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu lifted his head and a majestic mountain range appeared before his eyes. It was currently noon and under the illumination of the sun, the mountain range was covered in a golden glow, making it seem exceptionally majestic.
Amidst the mountain range, a lone peak stood tall. The cliffs were steep, the rivers were flowing, and the trees were lush. There were quite a few buildings that stretched far into the distance, creating a majestic sight.
At this moment, sunlight was pouring down through the thin layer of clouds, illuminating the mountain range. The countless buildings reflected a silvery glow, dazzling one's eyes.
As they got closer, the mountain range was pulled apart like a curtain. A vast mountain city gradually appeared before Du Shaofu's eyes. It was simple and unadorned, yet majestic at the same time.
"Is this the legendary Tianwu Academy?"
Du Shaofu looked down from the back of the Wind Feather Demonic Eagle. Rivers flowed through the mountain range, winding along the river. Even the mountains on both sides were jade-green in color. Numerous mountain peaks rose from the ground, but they weren't connected to one another.
This was the cradle of experts. Countless experts had once walked out of this place, shocking the entire empire. Even now, there were still countless experts who walked out of this place. Each of them was conferred the title of King, and their prestige spread far and wide!
Looking at the simple land below, Du Shaofu was filled with anticipation. After all, he was still a young man, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling. He would be staying in this cradle of experts for a period of time.
