Ye Xing's return with a cultivation of the seventh stage of the Martial Path shook the entire Indigo Mountain Institute.
Even though Ye Xing's strength was heaven-defying, defeating Xiong Qisheng, who was at the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Path, shocking everyone, it couldn't hide the fact that he was a Two-Star Destiny Realm cultivator.
Therefore, everyone believed that Ye Xing's cultivation would be his shortcoming in the future.
It wasn't easy to break through from the sixth stage of the Martial Path to the seventh stage, but no one expected that Ye Xing would become a Martial Dao Master in just two months.
This news shocked everyone and naturally caused a sensation in the entire Indigo Mountain Institute.
"Ye Xing has indeed broken through. I don't know if his cultivation has reached the middle of the seventh stage, but in such a short period of time, it's impossible for him to reach the peak of the seventh stage. He should still be a little weaker than me, hehe …!"
Wei Qingxuan thought happily when she heard that Ye Xing had become a Martial Dao Master.
After she fainted, her cultivation had a period of rapid growth. In the past half a month, her cultivation had increased rapidly and had reached the peak of the seventh stage.
Compared to other warriors, this kind of cultivation speed was simply shocking. However, her Heavenly Fate was indeed very high. Moreover, the academy had provided her with sufficient cultivation resources. Coupled with her miraculous dream, such progress was actually very normal.
Ye Xing didn't point out that his cultivation had reached the middle of the seventh stage. In response to everyone's surprise, he explained, "I obtained some high-grade herbs in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range and obtained the Silver Star Fruit. That's how I broke through to the seventh stage of the Martial Path."
This sentence naturally spread along with the news that Ye Xing had become a Martial Dao Master. Everyone suddenly realized that Ye Xing had obtained a great opportunity. The high-grade herbs were very precious, especially the Silver Star Fruit, which was almost impossible to find.
They attributed Ye Xing's ability to become a Martial Dao Master to luck, and the shock in their hearts lessened by a lot.
The first thing Ye Xing did when he returned to the Purple Mountain Academy was to apply to participate in the advanced class competition.
Ye Xing had already defeated Xiong Qisheng two months ago, proving that he was qualified to compete with the students of the advanced class. Now that his cultivation had reached the seventh stage of the Martial Path, he was naturally more qualified.
However, this was the first time in the history of the Purple Mountain Institute that a new student could participate in the Advanced Class Competition. The Institute's teachers did not directly approve of Ye Xing's participation just because he had the ability, but instead reported it to the three vice-principals.
Ye Xing was already in the limelight in the Purple Mountain Institute. The three vice-deans didn't want him to be in the limelight anymore and wanted to reject Ye Xing's application.
However, Zi Shan Hou, who had never cared about the matters of the academy, received the news and issued an order: "Let Ye Xing participate in the Advanced Class Competition. This time, I, Hou, will personally oversee the competition."
The three vice-principals looked at each other in dismay. Zi Shan Hou actually wanted to personally oversee the competition this time, and Zi Shan Hou had never interfered with the previous three Advanced Class Competitions.
Although they didn't understand, they didn't dare to disobey Zi Shan Hou's orders. Ye Xing was also included in the Advanced Class Competition's list.
… …
On this day, the Purple Mountain Institute was incomparably lively. It was the day of the Advanced Class Competition, and it was even grander than the new student competition.
This was because every Advanced Class Competition was related to the Falling Star Sect's selection of disciples.
Today, the students of the Purple Mountain Institute were especially excited because Zi Shan Hou would personally oversee the competition this time.
Zi Shan Hou was a legend in the Purple Mountain County, the only Martial Saint. The students had only heard of his name, but had never seen him in person.
However, when Zi Shan Hou appeared, the gazes of the majority of the students were filled with astonishment and disappointment.
Zi Shan Hou was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by someone. He looked extraordinary, but his whole person didn't have the slightest bit of an expert's aura. He was just like an ordinary person.
On the other hand, the youth who was pushing Zi Shan Hou's wheelchair shocked the majority of the students.
This was only an eighteen or nineteen year old youth. He looked about the same as the Advanced Class students, but his aura was incomparably powerful, surpassing any Ninth Stage Martial Path teacher in the institute.
Perhaps, only the three vice-principals' aura could compare.
"Who … who is this person? Zi Shan Hou actually has such a powerful junior, and he's a Ninth Stage Martial Master? "
Some students exclaimed in a low voice. The majority of the students didn't recognize Wang Feng.
However, some students from the county city knew and whispered, "This is the county city's Wang Clan's genius junior, Wang Feng, the nephew of vice-principal Wang. He was accepted by Zi Shan Hou as a direct disciple at a young age, and later became his adopted son. I heard that he is Martial Saint Tian Ming, destined to become a Martial Saint in the future."
When this news spread, whether it was the Advanced Class students or the new students, there was a burst of cold gasps.
Martial Saint Tian Ming's peerless genius? Zi Shan Hou's direct disciple, and even his adopted son?
Compared to Wang Feng, the Purple Mountain Academy's Gifted Class students, Ordinary Class students, old students, and new students all paled in comparison.
Ye Xing was also shocked. However, he wasn't shocked by Wang Feng, but rather by Zi Shan Hou. It was as Chu Jingnan had said, that Zi Shan Hou was a cripple.
If his legs weren't crippled, why would he be in a wheelchair and be pushed around by others?
If he was particular about style, he should be carried around by others. There was no style in sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed around by others. Therefore, it could only be Zi Shan Hou's legs that had a problem.
This made Ye Xing feel strange. He had always thought that when he left the Purple Mountain Academy and encountered danger on the way to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, it was Zi Shan Hou who saved him. However, now it seemed that a cripple who even needed to be pushed around by others, how could he save someone in the wild?
If it wasn't Zi Shan Hou, then who was the one who shot the arrow?
…
"Students, in this assessment, only the top ten will be rewarded, and only the top ten will have the opportunity to participate in the Falling Star Sect's disciple selection. Work hard and strive to get a good ranking. Although this assessment only rewards the top ten, the rewards will be doubled!"
After Zi Shan Hou spoke in front of all the students, he was pushed by Wang Feng to the VIP building.
When the advanced class students heard this, some were happy, while some were sad.
In the past, the rewards were the same as the new students' assessment. The top forty would be rewarded, but this time, only the top ten would be rewarded. Naturally, a large number of students would lose the opportunity to obtain the rewards.
As for the eighth stage martial path students who had hopes of getting into the top ten, they were all very excited. The rewards for the top ten were very generous, and if it was doubled, it would be even more exciting.
The assessment soon began. The process was similar to the new students' assessment, but there was a slight difference. After entering the second stage, there would be elimination matches until the first place was decided.
Ye Xing, as a new student, joined the assessment list. Naturally, he was ranked last and was assigned to the twentieth group.
When the assessment began, the twentieth group's matches were without a doubt the most spectators.
A new student participating in the advanced class assessment was something that had never happened before in the Purple Mountain Academy. All the new students felt incomparable glory.
Ye Xing's group naturally attracted the most attention of the new students.
The standard of the Purple Mountain Academy's students was not high. The advanced genius class had a total of thirteen eighth stage martial artists, while the ordinary class had none. Most of the geniuses were seventh stage martial artists, while the ordinary class had sixth stage martial artists.
In the twentieth group, the highest cultivation was a peak seventh stage martial artist, three seventh stage martial artists, and fifteen sixth stage martial artists.
Ye Xing's cultivation was in the middle of the seventh stage, and his martial arts attainments far exceeded theirs. Naturally, he swept through the twenty group. Even the peak seventh stage martial artist could not stop Ye Xing's sweeping path and was defeated in one move.
Ye Xing easily took the first place in the twentieth group and advanced to the second stage of the elimination matches.
There was no doubt that Ye Xing's performance was extremely eye-catching, but he could not be considered the leader. Wei Qingxuan also swept all the way in Group 17, and no one was her match.
Wei Qingxuan was originally a new student, but was specially recruited into the advanced genius class. The new students also had a strong sense of identity with her. Moreover, a young girl was always more attractive than a man. Ye Xing's audience was mostly snatched away by Wei Qingxuan.
"No wonder Wei Qingxuan was specially recruited into the advanced genius class. Her cultivation speed is too fast, not one bit slower than Ye Xing. Her strength is also so strong."
"Of course, she is the only nine-star Destiny student in the academy. How can she not be a genius?"
…
The new students were all shocked.
The competition didn't last long and ended in less than four hours. The top 40 students were determined. The 13 Level Eight Grandmasters naturally advanced. Other than them, there were also Peak Level Seven Grandmasters and Peak Level Seven Grandmasters. Including Ye Xing, there was no one whose cultivation was lower than Middle Level Seven Grandmasters.
After the elimination matches, the academy had to redivide the square and rest for a period of time.
Just as the elimination matches were about to begin, three giant Blue Wind Eagles with wingspan of more than ten zhang flew towards the Purple Mountain Academy, directly entering the academy's airspace.
Not being a member of the academy, directly entering from the sky was an extremely disrespectful act towards the Purple Mountain Academy.
On the back of each Blue Wind Eagle, there was a martial artist, an old man in his sixties, and two middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. Their auras were monstrous, as deep as the sea.
Seeing that there were many people in the academy's square, the three of them controlled the Blue Wind Eagles and directly swooped down. At the same time, the three of them released their cultivation, and a terrifying aura suppressed in all directions.
Many students could not help but tremble under the pressure of the three's aura.
It was the aura of a Martial Saint!
In the Purple Mountain Academy, from the teachers to the students, no one was not shocked.
It was rare to see a Martial Saint, but these three were all Martial Saints!
"Who dares to intrude into my Purple Mountain Academy? Zi Shanhou is here, don't be presumptuous! "
Wang Haiqing's voice came from the highest floor of the VIP building. As the first vice principal of the academy, he naturally stood out.
The three Martial Saints looked at each other. The old man nodded slightly and jumped down from the Blue Wind Eagle. The three of them cupped their fists towards the VIP building to show their respect.
Although they were all Martial Saints, Zi Shanhou was the Lord of the Fallen Star Country, which was also the Lord of the Fallen Star Sect. Naturally, his status was higher than theirs.
