Chapter 1264: Master-level Performance (2in1)

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning.

The assessment grounds were already packed with people.

Compared to yesterday, there were even more people today.

The primary division of Misty Cloud Academy was open to the public, allowing families of all sizes from Misty Cloud City to enter.

“The quotation list has changed again.”

“Wow, Hai Xiao’s offer has already risen to 2.5 million. It went up by over 700,000 xuan coins overnight, and there are two major families fighting for him. Are they trying to curry favor with the Hai family?”

“Huang Tianyu’s offer has also increased significantly, reaching two million.”

“Look at Huangfu Ya’s; the offer has risen to thirty million. Is her Spacetime bloodline really that powerful?”

“Eh?”

Someone suddenly noticed that at the very bottom of the quotation list, two names appeared.

“Everyone, come and look! Quickly!”

“The lowest quotation in history has appeared!”

“Let me see… How much?!”

“Hahaha… Hahaha…”

There was a roar of laughter in front of the stone tablet filled with quotes.

Seeing how happily they were laughing, Liu Zhan said, “Boss, I’m going to go see what fun thing has happened.”

Luo Tian didn’t stop him.

He had absolutely no interest in the offers from the various forces.

Liu Zhan squeezed into the crowd and looked carefully. When he saw his name, his face immediately broke into a joyful smile as he said arrogantly, “I knew it! How could there be no one bidding for this Young Master? Someone still…”

When he saw the number behind his name, Liu Zhan became instantly furious and scolded, “Motherfucker, screw eighteen generations of their ancestors! My offer is actually two xuan coins?! Which family made that bid?! Step out if you have the guts, and I promise I won’t beat you to death! This is too infuriating!”

Two xuan coins?

It wasn’t just him. Luo Tian’s valuation was even lower, at only one xuan coin.

The lowest quote in history.

This made the anger in Fatty Liu’s heart erupt like a volcano. How was this a quote? This was basically an insult!

“Hahaha… so it’s him!”

“An offer of two xuan coins? That’s way too much, hahaha…”

“Doesn’t he have a companion? That should be the one with the one xuan coin quote, right? Hahaha… the price given is too high!”

“Yesterday, he wasn’t on the list. At least today he made it. That counts as some sort of affirmation, right? If he passes the assessment today, maybe tomorrow it will increase to three xuan coins, hahaha…” ℞₳ΝƟꞖĚ𝙨

“You think they can even pass the assessment today?”

Mocking voices rang out all around.

Liu Zhan’s gaze darkened. He swept a cold look across the crowd and harrumphed, “Fuck! If anyone dares to laugh one more time, I’ll kill him right here today!”

Fatty Liu was enraged.

But his words only silenced the immediate surroundings for a brief moment.

A short distance away, several loud bursts of laughter drifted over.

“Hahaha… Hahaha…”

“Hahaha… Hahaha…”

Disciples from both the Hai and Huang families walked over.

Leading them were Hai Xiao and Huang Tianyu.

Hai Xiao laughed unscrupulously and said, “Is my laughter loud enough? Come on, come on, I’d really like to see how you’re going to kill me, you little piece of trash!”

Huang Tianyu laughed exaggeratedly and said, “My god, what am I seeing? A quote of one xuan coin? That is just too high! Scared the hell out of me! Hahaha… Brother Hai, have you ever seen such a high price?”

Hai Xiao looked at Luo Tian with disdain and sneered, “How could I have ever seen such a high price? It’s unprecedented and unrepeatable. This guy named Luo Tian is simply too awesome! Hahaha… I’m about to die from laughing so hard!”

Liu Zhan’s expression shook, his fists clenched, making cracking sounds. He wished he could smash Hai Xiao’s disdainful face with a single punch.

His patience has never been good.

Worried that Fatty Liu couldn’t hold back, Luo Tian stepped forward to grab his arm. He then glanced at Hai Xiao and said with a cold smile, “If we were outside, you would already be a dead man.”

After saying that, Luo Tian didn’t spare Hai Xiao another glance.

He pulled Liu Zhan along and walked out of the crowd.

Hai Xiao’s gaze turned gloomy, his eyes filled with killing intent as he pointed at Luo Tian’s back and shouted, “Luo Tian, just you wait! Watch how I crush you on stage until you’re crawling on the ground calling me father!”

Huang Tianyu patted Hai Xiao’s shoulder and said, “He won’t be arrogant for much longer.”

Not long after, the third round of the assessment began.

In the area for judges, there was no sign of Dean Tian Long or Huangfu Jue. The absence of both deans made Luo Tian wonder, “Where did those two go off to?”

Moreover, Ren Xiaoyao told him yesterday that two experts from the Azure Dragon Clan had infiltrated the Misty Cloud Academy.

Others may not know, but Luo Tian knew very clearly that they definitely came because of the Earth Dragon King’s death, and even more so for the Dragon God’s Forbidden Technique. He just didn’t know if those two Azure Dragon experts suspected him yet.

Luo Tian glanced at the people around him because it felt as if everyone was watching him.

An inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart.

“If I die, I die. If I live, then I shall live forever!”

“Since I’ve made it this far, what the hell do I have to be afraid of?” Luo Tian steadied himself inwardly.

He scanned the matches on the stages, trying to spot Bai Lingling and the others. He knew the techniques they cultivated, so if they were on the list for this assessment, they would definitely appear.

Luo Tian firmly believed they would be here!

“Such a fast sword! Too strong! From the first round to the third, he hasn’t used more than three moves to defeat his opponent. Yet his cultivation is only at the Martial Void 4th rank. With that cultivation, having such an ability is too extraordinary, isn’t it?”

“He has to be the biggest dark horse, right?”

“His offer has already squeezed into the top ten, reaching one million xuan coins. Some families have already offered terms stating that as long as he nods his head, he can immediately become an honorary elder of their family.”

“…”

The crowd was constantly discussing the fights.

Luo Tian noticed that person as well.

He had memorized that person’s number, thinking to himself, “If my guess isn’t wrong, he must be Lin Dong!”

“No matter what happens, you will still be my brother!” Luo Tian muttered to himself as he watched the man walking down from the stage.

Not long after, it was Liu Zhan’s turn to go up on stage.

His opponent was a martial artist at the Great Diffusion 3rd rank, someone not of the Hai and Huang family.

It was fortunate that Liu Zhan was a bloodline awakener. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly lost this match due to the massive gap in their cultivation realms.

Luo Tian went up again.

He was facing an opponent at the Great Diffusion 8th rank, a disciple from a family that opposed the Hai family.

Among the martial artists in this assessment, someone at the Great Diffusion 8th rank was strong enough to rank in the top twenty.

While on stage, Luo Tian remained calm and composed. Even though he knew perfectly well that Hai Fengtian was deliberately using him to clear obstacles for the Hai family disciples, he simply said, “Brother, you should surrender.”

Chen Yijian replied, “Luo Tian, I really wanted to face you to see just how strong you actually are. I know I’m not your match since you were able to withstand even the Huang family ancestor’s Annihilation Fist. I, Chen Yijian, know my limits. However, I still want to try. Brother Luo, please give it your all.”

From the moment he heard the match list, he knew he was not Luo Tian’s opponent.

Luo Tian thought Chen Yijian was a decent guy and said, “Alright!”

“Divine Explosion!”

“Boom~!”

Luo Tian held nothing back and directly unleashed Divine Explosion. However, it was just Divine Explosion. He did not use God Flame, nor did he use a transformation card. Luo Tian wanted to test just how strong his strength was without those trump cards of his.

During the battle, he kept the Four Divine Beasts bloodline sealed as well.

Holding Heaven Sword, Luo Tian used his skillful positioning and skill linking combos. Add on a few well-timed rushes, and it allowed him to showcase his almost-perfect fighting skills.

It took nearly half an hour for the two to fight before a winner was determined.

Chen Yijian said excitedly, “Thank you! I know you were holding back and didn’t use your full strength, not even half of your power. But I still want to thank you, Luo Tian. I have high hopes for you!”

After that, Chen Yijian clasped his hands and walked to Luo Tian’s side, and suddenly whispered, “Be careful of the number 18 barrier stage!”

After speaking, he crushed his wooden identity tablet.

“Luo Tian wins, advances to the next round!”

Chen Yijian laughed loudly, “That felt great!”

On the judges’ seats, Ren Xiaoyao and Yu Tianhai couldn’t stop smiling, “Hahaha… What a good kid! His superb fighting skills surpass the grandmaster level. The linking of skills and the mastery of combos are simply higher than the academy’s experienced combat masters. Watching his competition is simply a pleasure!” Ren Xiaoyao didn’t hold back his praise.

Undeniably, Luo Tian’s fight just now was amazing.

But the stronger Luo Tian showed himself to be, the stronger the killing intent in Hai Fengtian’s heart became. Watching Luo Tian walk down from the stage, he said coldly in his heart, “Luo Tian, tomorrow will be the date of your death. You just wait, hahaha…”

The third and fourth rounds of fighting were underway.

In another area, Tian Long and Huangfu Jue looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Sitting in front of them was a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.

Fine sweat oozed from their foreheads.

Their palms were sweating.

Especially Dean Tian Long, who was extremely nervous.

Tian Long said cautiously, “Do you want to be in the primary class or the advanced class? No… with your current cultivation, even the special class would be appropriate.”

“No need!”

The girl continued saying coldly, “I’ll just be in the primary class.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Tianlong said, “I’ll go arrange it for you right away. You can start class with the martial artists who passed this assessment tomorrow.”

The girl still had a cold look as she replied, “Thank you.”

The two words thank you felt different coming from her mouth, like there was no sense of gratitude in it at all.

However, Tian Long immediately said, “This is what we should do.”

After saying that, she got up and left.

Tian Long and Huangfu Jue also got up to see her off.

Seeing the girl walk away, Tian Long was so excited that he almost jumped up in joy. He then said excitedly, “A Holy Saintess! Someone from the holy land, Phoenix Sky Mountain, came down! Hahaha… Misty Cloud Academy will definitely cause a sensation in the world! Brother Huangfu, we’ve hit the jackpot this time!”

Huangfu Jue wasn’t very happy. He stared at the girl’s disappearing back and said doubtfully, “What is someone from Phoenix Sky Mountain doing at our Misty Cloud Academy?”
