Chapter 248: The Test Begins
On January 7, Year 2786 on Earth, the highly anticipated public assessment of Star Cloud Academy officially began.
Among all the branch examinations, the most popular one was undoubtedly the entrance examination of the Martial Arts Branch.
Unlike the tests that the other branches of Star Cloud Academy carried out in their respective branch venues, there was only one test in the martial arts branch, and that was actual combat.
It was also because it was an actual battle that it received special attention.
After all, compared to those genteel written tests and other subjects that most people could not understand, the battles of martial artists were undoubtedly more exciting and hotblooded.
This year’s Star Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch Entrance Examination was far more eye-catching than every previous entrance examination.
The reason was very simple. In this year’s entrance examination, there were actually two young martial artists who were directly related to Star-Grade Martial Artists!
One was the grandson of Supremacy Feng Nanshan. He was reputed to be the most talented but most rebellious member of the third generation of the Feng family.
The other was the most special disciple under one of the 11 Star-Grade Martial Artists of the Earth Federation, the only disciple of “Saint Hand Heaven’s Heart” Supremacy Oville, Angie Prairie!
Feng Mingxi had just turned 18 this year, but he had already successfully broken through to the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm two years ago. It was said that he had already begun to face the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.
With his talent and accumulation, coupled with the deep foundation of the Feng family, it should not be a problem for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. It was only a matter of time.
There were even many people who predicted that Feng Mingxi would definitely successfully break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate before he was 20 years old.
If he really did it, he would become the youngest Void Break Martial Artist in the history of the Earth Alliance in the past 50 years!
In fact, in the entire Orion Arm, other than some super geniuses with special inheritances in the Declan Empire, this would still be a rather outstanding performance.
However, Angie Prairie was not inferior to him at all.
Although she had only broken through to the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm last year and was a year later than Feng Mingxi, she was only 16 years old this year and was two years younger than him!
In terms of breaking through to the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm, she was a year younger than Feng Mingxi!
Although many people felt that if Feng Mingxi obediently cultivated the Feng family’s secret technique and did not find some messy martial techniques to cultivate outside, with his talent, his speed of improvement would definitely be faster. He could probably break through to the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm at the age of 15 and was not inferior to Angie Prairie.
However, Angie Prairie’s talent had truly shocked the entire Earth Federation. She was reputed to be the most outstanding martial arts genius in the Earth Federation in the past hundred years.
There were even many people who felt that it was very likely that she would catch up from behind and break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate before Feng Mingxi and become the youngest Void Break Martial Artist.
If she could break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate before she was 18 years old, she would even become the youngest Void Break Martial Artist in the history of the Earth Federation. In the future, she would almost definitely become the strongest Star-Grade Martial Artist.
With two extremely eye-catching young martial artists participating, how could this entrance examination not receive special attention?
Moreover, other than Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie, there were also many famous young martial artists from the Earth Federation among the other applicants. They could also attract the attention of many people.
In the special program broadcast by the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel, they even called this batch of examinees the most talented and “starlit” batch in the history of Star Cloud Academy.
In the program, Martial Artist Rengal, who was the guest, specially mentioned Chu Nan’s name.
He expressed that although Chu Nan had been judged by the two Star-Grade Martial Artists to be almost impossible to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future, his talent was indeed extremely good. When he was only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, he could cross a huge gap of a few levels and defeat the third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, Maruk.
According to the latest news he had received, in the half a year after the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition ended, not only had Chu Nan’s injuries healed, his strength had also greatly increased. He had already broken through to the Internal Breath Realm not long ago, so it was also worth looking forward to his performance in the entrance examination.
However, such an evaluation was immediately refuted by many people.
No matter how talented Chu Nan was, he was only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
Although he had the ability to defeat enemies above his level, he had also won miserably when he defeated Maruk back then. Now that his strength had increased, it was already not bad that he could at most fight a third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist to a draw. Could he compare to fourth-stage and fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artists?
As for comparing him to super geniuses like Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie? Stop joking!
In the end, although the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition half a year ago had attracted a lot of attention, it was mostly because they had specially invited the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, Mu Yutong and Norman, to participate. They were not very attractive to the martial artists of the federation, so many truly powerful martial artists, especially super geniuses like Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie, had never thought of participating. Their standards were not high at all.
Otherwise, although a third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Maruk who was not even 20 years old was not bad, it was impossible for him to suppress the young geniuses of the Earth Federation alone and make Chu Nan stand out in the end.
No matter how good Chu Nan’s performance was, it was only good in that small competition. His strength was only ordinary.
Now, as the number one academy in the federation, Star Cloud Academy had extremely precious S-rank cultivation methods. It could be said that it had attracted almost all the young geniuses of the Earth Federation and even attracted special super geniuses like Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie.
In such an environment where experts were everywhere, how could Chu Nan still stand out like he did in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition?
Of course, Chu Nan had supporters.
Many people felt that Chu Nan’s talent could obtain the approval of Supremacy Mu Yutong and his strength had increased. Even if he could not compare to Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie, he could still compete with the other geniuses of the federation. Perhaps he could perform well in the end.
Therefore, in the few days before the official start of the Star Cloud Academy’s entrance test, the various media outlets of the federation and the Milky Way Network were filled with all kinds of relevant topics and debates.
However, on the day of the Star Cloud Academy’s entrance test, after they officially announced the content of the test at 8 AM, all the hot topics and arguments instantly disappeared and turned into an uproar.
…
“Heh, Chu Nan, look. This guy said that you’re not worthy of comparison to me and Feng Mingxi.”
“There’s also this. Look, he said that not only can you not be compared to the two of us now, but you can’t even compare to us in the future, because you definitely won’t be able to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, and Feng Mingxi and I will have no problem.”
“Haha, this is even more fun. He actually said that you must have given Rengal some benefits in private to make him publicize you so hard. Haha, I’m dying of laughter…”
Chu Nan helplessly looked at the laughing Angie Prairie who did not care about her image.
“I say, do you really want to see me make a fool of myself?”
“Hmm? Watch you make a fool of yourself? No, I just think it’s fun.” Angie Prairie pointed at the virtual screen of her personal terminal and could not help but laugh, “I never used to watch these things. Now, I realize that it’s still very fun. No wonder so many people like to watch it.”
“Then can’t you read your own reports? Why did you specially read those that are related to me?” Chu Nan was even more helpless.
“Because it’s fun.” The smile on Angie Prairie’s face was extremely brilliant. “Hey, tell me, they look down on you so much. Have you ever thought of fighting for honor in the entrance test and slapping their faces? I like this kind of story the most.”
Chu Nan could only look at Angie Prairie speechlessly.
This fellow really had a beautiful face like a goddess. Why was her personality so bad?
However, it was very necessary to perform better in the entrance examination.
It was not to slap the faces of those who looked down on him, but to obtain a high enough evaluation so that he would be qualified to come into contact with the precious S-rank cultivation method of Star Cloud Academy after entering it.
If it was like previous years, holding a head-on test like that, he was probably really inferior to Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie.
However, this year, Star Cloud Academy had changed their test method.
