"Qiankun College, here I come …" Chen Jiu shouted happily and flew down the mountain without a care for anything else.
It seemed very close, but it was also a thousand miles away. When Chen Jiu landed again, he could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here was even denser.
At the outer edge of Qiankun College, there was an eternal stone wall. The empires within its borders had changed generation after generation, but this stone wall had never been damaged.
The stone wall was about a hundred meters tall and there was a formation above it. Other than the college's disciples, even Grandmasters could not enter.
The Cosmos Academy was vast and boundless. There were many different gates around it that were specially guarded by people. They were in charge of receiving disciples and handling miscellaneous matters.
At this moment, Chen Jiu landed in front of a gate called Qianqing Gate. Following the endless stream of people at the gate, he walked straight in.
"Hey, kid, are you here for the entrance exam or the entrance exam?" At the gate, a person who looked like a senior stared at Chen Jiu.
"Oh, it's here." Chen Jiu quickly took out the qualification form his aunt had sent and handed it over.
"Mm, Chen Jiu, grade seven warrior. Not bad. Go in." Looking at the form, the youth gave Chen Jiu a token with the word "exam" written on it and sent him in.
Once he entered Qiankun College, the spiritual energy that greeted him was so dense that it made his body feel invigorated. Nourished by this spiritual energy, even an ordinary person could become a child prodigy.
While feeling comfortable, Chen Jiu could not help but complain, "I'm a grade seven warrior after all. How can I be sent away like this? There's not even someone to guide me? "
"Be content, brother. Qiankun College welcomes over a thousand grade eight warriors every day. No one cares about them." A youth behind him kindly reminded him, "If you want to stand out in Qiankun College, you have to rely on your own skills. Otherwise, you'll always be an exam disciple."
"Then what should we do now?" Chen Jiu turned around and looked at the young man. He was tall and sturdy, and his face was delicate and pretty. It was a little out of place.
"Forget it. Since you don't know anything, just follow me. But where you end up will depend on your luck," said the robust youth as if he was being generous.
"Thank you." Chen Jiu didn't mind and started to chat with him.
The young man's name was Zhang Kuang, and he was a warrior of the eighth rank. Just now, when he kindly reminded them, he was just complaining.
In the Qiankun Academy, as long as one wasn't at Zongshi realm, one could only enter as an examinee. If one wished to be promoted to an outer or inner disciple, one had to rely on one's contribution points and true talent.
In this place, it was obvious that getting in through connections would not work. Even if a prince came here, the same rule would apply.
"Let's go. Follow me into the village and register your identity." Zhang Kuang clearly had some understanding of the inner workings of the academy. He led Chen Jiu through the crowd and into one transportation formation after another.
After a flash of light, Chen Jiu didn't know where he had been transported to. He only saw an ordinary village appear in front of him.
When they entered the village, an old man came out to welcome them. "Children, welcome home. From now on, all of your honors will be passed down in the village …"
Next, they naturally had to register their identities one by one. There were thirty-five people in this batch.
After registering their identities, their medallions lit up. Holding it, Chen Jiu followed Zhang Kuang out of the village.
On a wide road, two figures quickly walked. After a hundred miles, they arrived in front of another gate. This gate was even more noble and dignified than the one before.
"Let's go. This is just an outer disciple test. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for you and me." Zhang Kuang reminded them as they walked up to the gate and handed over their medallions.
"That's the passage for outer disciples. If you walk through it, you'll pass." The youth guarding the gate coldly reminded them as he pointed at a long tunnel.
Taking back their medallions, Chen Jiu and Zhang Kuang walked in front of the tunnel and directly walked in. What greeted them was only a gust of cold wind.
The cold wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing against their limbs and freezing their minds. Even steel would be blown to pieces if it came here.
"Is that all?" Chen Jiu naturally didn't care about this.
"We're just outer disciples. What else do you want?" Zhang Kuang rolled his eyes. Accompanied by a fierce wave of fire, the two of them smoothly passed the outer disciple test.
Next, just like before, they went to the inner disciple's courtyard and requested to take the test.
This time, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. Wind, lightning, water, and fire alternated attacks, and the tunnel was extremely long. If one wasn't a warrior of the fifth rank and couldn't open their acupuncture points, it would be very difficult to endure.
"What happens if we fail?" Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask.
"Do you see the white dust under your feet? It's not sand, it's human bone powder. "Zhang Kuang's cold voice made Chen Jiu shiver.
The automatic test wasn't controlled by anyone. Even though it was fair, it was difficult to guarantee everyone's safety. Every day, hundreds of disciples died during the test.
In order to become strong, humans had sacrificed far too much.
"Ahhh!" With a miserable cry, a youth fell to the lightning, never to stand again. He was only a step away from the exit.
"Ai …" Sighing, Chen Jiu couldn't bear it and walked out with Zhang Kuang.
"You can stay here. Once you become an eighth rank warrior, you can come find me in the elite courtyard," Zhang Kuang kindly reminded Chen Jiu.
"Oh? You mean I can't enter the elite circle unless I become an eighth rank warrior? "Chen Jiu didn't understand.
"Of course not." Shaking his head, Zhang Kuang said, "The academy focuses on strength. However, the difference between the Core Opening realm and the Nascent Soul realm is too great. There's no way you'll be able to pass. So forget it. You're still young. Live a little longer and you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
"What if I insist on going?" Chen Jiu was very determined. With his current strength, he wasn't even afraid of Grand Masters. Naturally, he wouldn't be afraid of a mere elite test.
Furthermore, his goal this time was to see Mu Lan. She was an eighth rank warrior, so she should also be in the elite circle. If he didn't go, how would he be able to see her?
"You … you better think this through. When the time comes, don't blame me for not saving you." Zhang Kuang glared at Chen Jiu and warned him fiercely.
"If I need you to save me, then I won't go," Chen Jiu said very arrogantly.
"Good brat, it's good that you have this kind of heroic spirit. Come with me. Don't cry when the time comes." Zhang Kuang didn't say anything else. He just led Chen Jiu to the elite courtyard.
The elite disciple test was completely different from the previous two tests. It was even more dangerous here. If you weren't careful, you'd die without a corpse.
