The owner of the slender fingers was a tall man. Yan Li's height was already considered outstanding, but this man was even taller. He wore a moon-white long gown, and his hair was neatly tied up. He was about thirty years old, and his eyes were as deep as the stars. However, his face was filled with too much indifference. It seemed that he was not an easy person to get close to.
"This is Jixia Academy," the man said coldly.
"I know," Yan Li said.
"Death or life, neither is allowed to happen," the man said coldly.
"Death can be understood," Yan Li said with a smile. "How can you understand life?"
The man's sword fingers suddenly moved, and there was a faint muffled sound. The cyan steel sword in Yan Li's hand immediately disintegrated.
It disintegrated, not shattered. It disintegrated into even more fragmented particles, like sand that could not be held tightly, and quietly scattered in the air.
"I am Li Lingxiu, your instructor," he said.
Yan Li fell silent.
All this while, his opponents had been this type of "monster," and he was already used to it.
The young man's provocation was like a small stone thrown into Condensed Jade Lake. It did not cause too much of a ripple. It did not matter whether he killed or not.
The young man was very unwilling, but he still said these three words with difficulty, "I lost."
He knew that if it was not for Li Lingxiu, he would have been a corpse by now. He did not know whether this person in front of him was a pervert, but he was sure that he had killed many more people than he had. Perhaps even professional assassins were not as straightforward as him.
"You didn't," Yan Li said with a smile.
"I lost!" The young man frowned. "A loss is a loss. There is nothing to hide!"
"You will die if you lose," Yan Li said softly. "You are not dead yet."
The young man could not help but feel his hair stand on end. Cold sweat drenched his back, but he still said firmly, "I am Huang Shaoyu. If you are indignant, you are welcome to take revenge at any time!"
"Quiet," Li Lingxiu said.
Huang Shaoyu retreated guiltily.
Yan Li said with a smile, "Sir, you have not answered my question."
"Problem?" Li Lingxiu looked at him calmly.
"Death is understandable, but what about life?" Yan Li asked.
Li Lingxiu wasn't in a hurry to speak. He just suddenly made a move, and that was to draw his sword.
His sword was too fast and too ruthless. In the blink of an eye, it was aimed at Yan Li's throat. It was only an inch away from Yan Li's throat, as if the previous scene was repeating itself.
"To live is to let you die. You won't be able to live." Li Lingxiu disappeared without a trace after saying that.
His arrival was inexplicable, and his departure was also inexplicable.
Thus, everyone could only wait.
"I know you've always been adventurous." Lien Hae Changjin walked over and said sternly, "But it's best if you don't provoke this person."
Yan Li said innocently, "I'm really curious. Could it be that there were questions that couldn't be asked? Then what's the point of me coming here? "
Lianhai Changjin sighed and said, "Don't tell me you don't have any self-awareness at all? The way you ask questions is like a provocation. If it was someone with a bad temper, they might just kill you."
"That's why I said you've changed in this world." Yan Li said lightly, "I didn't think you'd still be as pedantic as ever. Do you know what freedom is? Freedom means that you can say whatever you want and do whatever you want. If you don't have the ability to realize it, then try your best to satisfy it. You can't be confined in a mold by some 'rules'. Otherwise, you'll be no different from a salted fish that has been dried in the sun. "
"Everyone's way of life is different." Lianhai Changjin smiled and said, "Living itself is a matter of enjoyment. Why should we care about what mold we're made of?"
Yan Li said sourly, "Only a rich young master like you who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth can say something like that."
"I'm actually envious of Brother Yan's luck." Lianhai Changjin said, "That move just now was really amazing. If the artifact wasn't damaged, I think you'd be invincible under the Human Immortal Stage."
"I didn't think you'd also know how to flatter people." Yan Li couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm just expressing my feelings."
…
The waiting time was always extremely long.
Yan Li and Yan Li chatted for a while, then each found a corner to meditate.
But when they finished meditating, not a single person came out to "entertain" them. It was as if they'd arrived at an empty city.
Of course, everyone felt very helpless. But there was nothing they could do. After witnessing the scene of Li Lingxiu crushing the green steel sword, everyone kept their arrogance. No one dared to be impudent in this place.
This wait lasted until the sun turned yellow. Although the school looked like a flowing red river because of the dim yellow sun, the peace and contentment of being in such a beautiful scene was completely worn away by the long wait.
When the sky was about to turn dark, a group of people arrived outside the school. There were about five hundred of them.
Either no one came, or more than five hundred of them came at once, scaring everyone who had been waiting for so long that they were on the verge of impatience.
After some observation, they realized that these people were like them, all students.
It seemed like these were the top students that stood out today.
It was indeed a very difficult task to be one of the ten thousand people.
So although they stood below the stage, they faintly had a kind of arrogance. They were especially full of disdain towards the people who had arrived early on the stage. They casually rolled their eyes as if to say: Look, I got in through the examination. I'm not on the same level as you people who relied on connections.
Although it was inevitable that they would say the grapes were sour because they couldn't eat them.
Yan Li suddenly pulled Lian Hai Changjin down from the stage.
"What's wrong?"
When the two of them got off the stage, Lian Hai Changjin immediately understood. This was because an invisible force had pushed the people who were still on the stage down.
Those with high cultivation levels naturally stood steadily. Those with low cultivation levels would inevitably embarrass themselves in front of the crowd and attract the ridicule of the other candidates.
The scene was chaotic and there was no order to speak of.
"All of you, shut up! Stand in line!"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the stage, attracting everyone's attention. They saw that more than ten people had appeared on the stage. They were divided into two rows. There were more than ten people in the back row. The one who shouted was a strong man like a bear. He was dressed like a craftsman who had just come out of a workshop. Li Lingxiu was also in this row.
"Do you know how to stand in line? Do you want me to correct you one by one? "The strong man stared with his bell-like eyes, full of pressure.
Everyone didn't dare to be negligent and stood in line according to the order.
There were only two people in the front row. One was a woman, and the other was a man.
Yan Li didn't recognize the woman, but he recognized Lian Hai Qingshan.
Lian Hai Qingshan stood a little behind the woman, with her usual smile on her face.
At first glance, the woman seemed to be in her thirties, but at a closer look, she seemed to be in her twenties. She was full of strangeness and contradictions.
She was beautiful and fair-skinned. She wore a black robe with a black checkered pattern, looking somewhat mysterious and dignified. But with her hair down in a bun, she looked like a young girl who had her first awakening of love.
"I am Ye Qinglan. I believe some of you must recognize me."
