The palm-sized black picture was none other than the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait.
Just as the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait flew into the sky, it began to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had become incomparably huge, almost covering the entire sky above Cloud Sky Mountain.
The enlarged Portrait of Seven Lives and Seven Deaths was no longer black. Instead, it had turned purple. A faint purple light enveloped the entire Cloud Sky Mountain, dyeing everyone and everything on Cloud Sky Mountain purple.
Everyone at the foot of the mountain held their breaths, waiting for the test to begin.
"Go!"
Another Soaring Sky Institution Elder spoke in a low voice. He raised his hand and threw out an object. The object turned into a stream of light in the air and directly entered the purple Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait.
After entering the object, the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait suddenly 'came to life'. Bursts of rumbling sounds came from it, shaking everyone's hearts. Many people present felt their Qi and blood churn, almost vomiting blood.
In the next second!
Thousands upon thousands of purple light pillars shot out from the Portrait of Seven Lives and Seven Deaths. Everyone on Cloud Sky Mountain was enveloped by a purple light pillar.
Everyone who was enveloped by the purple light pillars, including Lin Shan, Lime, Mu Junsu, and Snow Red, felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies trembled, and their pupils lost focus. They began to enter an illusion, losing all contact with the outside world.
The entire Sky Heaven City seemed to have quieted down at this moment. Everyone was watching the performance of the people on Cloud Sky Mountain, waiting for the results of the Soaring Sky Institution's new disciple recruitment.
.....
At the peak of Cloud Sky Mountain!
The silver-clothed youth, Zhao Rong, was happily chatting with the Grand Era Hall disciples of the Soaring Sky Institution. Laughter could be heard from the peak of the mountain. Even some Small Era Hall disciples came over to greet the silver-clothed youth. Even the five or six Soaring Sky Institution Elders turned their heads and said a few words to the silver-clothed youth.
To the outside world, Zhao Wuqing was the number one disciple of the Grand Era Hall. Aside from the fact that this title was shocking, it didn't have any other significance. However, only the members of the Sky Firmament Academy understood the significance and weight of this title.
The Sky Firmament Institution's five main halls were the Small Era Hall, the Grand Era Hall, the Sacred Era Hall, the Sky Era Hall, and the Divine Era Hall. Excluding the Divine Era Hall, the champion of each hall not only had a high status, but also had great authority.
In layman's terms, the top student of each academy was equivalent to the president of the university student union on Earth. However, his actual power was much greater than the president of the university student union on Earth.
For example, Lian Xi, the number one disciple of the Sacred Era Hall, could represent the Sky Firmament Academy and offer all kinds of generous conditions when recruiting Elders.
Since Lian Xi was able to recruit Elders for Sky Firmament Academy, it was enough to show that her status in Sky Firmament Academy was above that of Sky Firmament Academy's Elders.
As the number one disciple of the Grand Era Hall, Zhao Wuqing's status was on equal footing with the Elders of the Sky Firmament Academy. He also had the authority to discipline the Grand Era Hall's disciples.
Therefore, among the Grand Era Hall's disciples, Zhao Wuqing's power was unstoppable. Everyone had to be respectful to him. At this moment, almost all the Grand Era Hall's disciples were laughing and chatting with the silver-clothed youth.
Although the Sky Firmament Academy was aloof and was like a god overlooking the entire Eastern Territory, in the end, it was still an organization. It couldn't escape the ways of the world. Currying favor was human nature, and the Sky Firmament Academy's disciples were no exception.
Moreover!
The reason why the Sky Firmament Academy established the number one disciple of each branch, raised their status, and gave them great authority was because of competition.
According to the Sky Firmament Academy's rules, the number one disciple of each branch only had a term of three months. Once the term was up, the number one disciple would have to accept challenges from other disciples of their branch.
If they were defeated, the price would be very high. Not only would everything belong to the winner, but they would also become the winner's Battle Servant. It would be extremely difficult for them to make a comeback.
Zhao Wuqing had been the number one disciple of the Grand Era Hall for seven years, and no one had been able to shake his position. Moreover, he clearly had the opportunity to rise to the Sacred Era Hall, but he had refused. He had remained in this position that was filled with both opportunities and dangers.
Although the silver-clothed youth was an outsider and wasn't a member of the Sky Firmament Academy, he could make the Elders of the Sky Firmament Academy look at him in a new light.
"Young Master Rong, why do you look a little unhappy?" While chatting, a Grand Era Hall's disciple saw through Zhao Rong's thoughts and asked.
"It's nothing serious!" Zhao Rong immediately replied with an ugly expression and a trace of anger in his voice, "It's just that my elder brother asked me to recruit servants and Battle Servants on his behalf, so I went around and carefully selected talents!"
"Then, when I was in the Quiet Night Pavilion, I saw a few people with good aptitudes, so I sent them an invitation. In the end, I didn't expect that not only would they refuse, but they would also speak rudely, saying that they would make my elder brother Zhao Wuqing their servant!"
"If we weren't in the Quiet Night Pavilion, I would have killed them on the spot!"
Zhao Rong wanted to say that he would kill Xiao Fan and the others, but when the words came to his mouth, he recalled how he had been paralyzed by the Akira Yuki in Xiao Fan's arms and felt a chill run down his spine.
Therefore, he didn't say everything in the end, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes and he hesitated to speak.
"You want to take Eldest Senior Brother as a servant?" Hearing Zhao Rong's words, everyone in the Sky Firmament Academy looked at each other and suddenly quieted down. However, after a few breaths of silence, they all burst into laughter. Some of the female Sky Firmament Academy disciples even laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
What kind of existence was Zhao Wuqing?
Someone actually said that they wanted to take Zhao Wuqing as a disciple? Could it be Shi Lezhi?
"Now I'm interested. Who is the one who said such words? He actually dares to do such a thing. He doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. " A Grand Era Hall disciple said with a smile. His smile was full of mockery towards Xiao Fan and the others mentioned by the silver-clothed youth.
"Young Master Rong, who dares to disrespect Master? Let's go and kill him! " Behind the Sky Firmament Academy's Elders and disciples, two extraordinarily handsome young men suddenly walked out. Their eyes were sharp, as if they were sharp blades, and their auras were surging, causing people to tremble.
Zhao Wuqing had a total of three battle servants, and these two were two of them.
In fact, the Sky Firmament Academy's Elders and disciples weren't the only ones on the Sky Firmament Mountain Peak. Their respective servants and battle servants were also present. However, servants were still servants, so the ones who appeared in everyone's line of sight were only the Elders and Grand Era Hall disciples. The servants and battle servants of the Grand Era Hall disciples were hidden behind, waiting for orders.
At this moment, when they heard Zhao Rong mention Xiao Fan and the others, Zhao Wuqing's two battle servants had always been extremely respectful and loyal to Zhao Wuqing. Therefore, they immediately walked out to kill those who dared to disrespect Zhao Wuqing.
"I don't know those people!" Zhao Rong's face turned ugly as he said, "I don't know where they came from. After they disrespected my brother, I wanted to capture them, but first of all, fighting is not allowed in the Quiet Night Pavilion, and second of all, I have to find suitable servants and battle servants for my brother!"
"Therefore, after they left the Quiet Night Pavilion, I couldn't chase after them and could only watch as they left. In the end, they disappeared without a trace!"
"But if I see them again, I'll definitely be able to recognize them at a glance!"
"I think it's very likely that they appeared in Sky City because of the Sky Firmament Academy's recruitment of new disciples. Young Master Rong, can you take a look at the people on the Sky Firmament Mountain and see if they're there?" A Grand Era Hall disciple suggested.
"I took a look just now, but I didn't see any trace of them!" Zhao Rong shook his head and said, "But I didn't look carefully because the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait enveloped everyone. Everyone's figures and faces were quite blurry, so I couldn't see them clearly. I might have missed them!"
"That's simple. Just adjust the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait!" A Sky Firmament Academy Elder said with a kind smile. He then raised his hand and pointed his finger in the air, drawing mysterious arcs as he began adjusting the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait.
Soon!
The purple light emitted by the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait became slightly thinner, and all the participants of the Heavenly Firmament Institution's new disciple recruitment test could now be clearly seen within the purple light pillar.
Zhao Rong's gaze sharpened as he began to carefully search for Xiao Fan and the others.
However, there were too many people participating in the Sky Firmament Academy's new disciple recruitment test. After a full hundred breaths, Zhao Rong's eyes suddenly lit up as he found Lin Shan, Lime, Snow Red, Mu Junsu, and Little Bastard.
"I found them! It's them!" Zhao Rong pointed at Lin Shan and the others who were trapped in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait's illusory realm and shouted while gnashing his teeth.
"Oh?"
All the Elders and disciples of the Sky Firmament Academy, as well as the many Battle Servants and Battle Servants behind them, turned to look in the direction Zhao Rong was pointing at. Many of them were curious and surprised, wanting to know who this arrogant person who dared to take Zhao Wuqing as a servant was.
"I'll go kill them!" One of Zhao Wu Qing's two Battle Servants looked at Lin Shan and the others with murderous intent in his eyes. He took a step forward and shouted.
"You can't!" A Grand Era Hall disciple immediately stopped him and said, "Now is the time for the academy to recruit new disciples. You can't enter recklessly. Otherwise, even Zhao Wu Qing won't be able to protect you. You will be severely punished by the academy!"
