Chapter 4280: Chapter 4280: The Terrifying Assessment (Fourth Update)

Qin Tianyu’s face suddenly turned pale. He had gambled on a duel with Qin Wufeng: the loser was forbidden from taking part in the academy selection. Now that he’d lost, naturally he could no longer go.

"Brother Qin, what do you plan to do?"

Ye Chen asked in a deep voice.

Qin Tianyu let out a bitter smile and said, "My skills are inferior to his, I have nothing to say."

He paused, then took out the jade pendant and handed it to Ye Chen, saying through gritted teeth, "Little Brother Ye, take this jade pendant. With a Heavenly Repairing Realm body you actually managed to repel Qin Wufeng—your Martial Arts Foundation must be extraordinary. You join Yuantian Academy and avenge me!"

"You’re giving the jade pendant to me?"

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Qin Tianyu to be so decisive.

"Yes. You avenge me!"

Qin Tianyu clenched his teeth. In his view, since he’d already lost this chance, he might as well give it to Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen could step into Yuantian Academy, there would still be a chance to take revenge for him.

Ye Chen pondered for a while, then finally nodded heavily, accepted the jade pendant, and said, "Alright, I’ll avenge you."

Qin Tianyu said, "Many thanks!"

Then Ye Chen, Qin Tianyu, and Li Qingmo went together to the selection site of Yuantian Academy.

Qin Tianyu was gravely injured, but under Ye Chen’s Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique treatment, he barely recovered a trace of Origin Qi and was able to walk.

He wanted to see the outcome of the selection, wanted to know Ye Chen’s martial arts potential.

Yuantian Academy had a special Test Stone Tablet to examine a martial artist’s martial arts, spells, divine powers, and all aspects of potential, displaying them as a numerical value.

The higher the number, the better the aptitude it represented!

Soon, the three of them arrived at the test site for the selection, located on the mountaintop behind Yuantian Academy.

In this place, a huge plaza had been built, and at the northern end of the plaza stood a pitch-black Test Stone Tablet.

At this moment, the plaza was already packed with people.

The testing ceremony had begun, and one new student after another, jade pendant in hand, queued up to await their turn.

"Next."

The examiner in charge of the test was a white?haired old man, his voice aged yet powerful.

As his words fell, a young man walked up to him.

"Name."

"Luo Tong."

"Level of cultivation."

"Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven."

"Begin."

After a simple registration, the examiner waved his hand, indicating he could start.

The young man named Luo Tong walked up before the Test Stone Tablet, took a deep breath, and pressed his palm onto the tablet.

Hum!

The pitch?black tablet quivered slightly, then a value floated into view:

Fifty?nine!

The Test Stone Tablet examined martial arts, spells, divine powers, and all?around aptitude. Full marks were one hundred; sixty points counted as passing.

The young man called Luo Tong saw his score, and his expression instantly became extremely unsightly.

"Fifty?nine points, not qualified. Next!"

The examiner mercilessly announced the result and crossed Luo Tong’s name off the registration sheet.

"Sir, I’m just one point short, could you please make an exception?"

Luo Tong’s face was full of bitterness as he pleaded.

"Failing is failing. Even one point short is still failing! These are the rules!"

The examiner’s tone was stern, without a shred of leniency.

Hearing this, Luo Tong could do nothing and could only withdraw.

"Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven and he only got fifty?nine points—this test is too strict."

"No, this selection test looks at all?round aptitude. Having level of cultivation alone isn’t enough; it also evaluates other aspects."

"Getting sixty points isn’t easy at all."

The people waiting for the test discussed in low voices.

Although Yuantian Academy’s entry?level selection test assessed all?around aptitude, the fact that a Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven could only get fifty?nine points showed just how strict it was.

There were a total of one hundred participants in the test; at least sixty points were required to even step over the threshold of Yuantian Academy.

But stepping over the threshold only qualified one as a Registered Disciple, still unable to come into contact with the core cultivation methods of Yuantian Academy.

Only those whose test values ranked in the top three could truly be admitted into Yuantian Academy and gain access to ancient divine powers and many secret histories.

The disciples waiting to be tested didn’t dare hope to soar to the heavens in a single leap. They only wished to pass, become Registered Disciples first, and then slowly seek further opportunities later.

The next person to be tested was a young girl in pink clothes, with a charming and seductive face. She wore a short skirt that revealed a pair of rounded, long legs; she walked with a breezy stride that drew countless gazes.

"That’s the dean’s daughter, Yu Yingxue."

"I heard she’s at Qiankun Realm Peak, a master who has touched Half?step Origin and is already close to reaching Primordial Origin Realm!"

"I heard that in her body, the bloodline of a Green Armored Turtle is sealed!"

"Green Armored Turtle? That’s the Guardian Beast of the Gui Water Talisman, one of the Ten Great Primordial Beasts."

"I wonder what score Yu Yingxue’s aptitude will get."

All eyes fell on the young girl in pink.

The pink?clothed girl named Yu Yingxue had a graceful figure. With light steps she came before the Test Stone Tablet, closed her eyes, and gently laid her palm upon it.

Crash!

Strands of vast water aura spread out from Yu Yingxue’s delicate hand, pouring into the tablet.

Hum hum hum!

The tablet shook violently, then displayed a striking value:

Ninety?five!

Yu Yingxue opened her eyes. Seeing the number on the tablet, she immediately broke into a joyful, excited smile and tightly clenched her delicate fists.

"Ninety?five points!"

"Worthy of being the dean’s daughter!"

"That value is terrifying."

"I’m afraid Lady Yu will be the highest scorer in this year’s test."

The people below the stage saw this astonishing number and cried out in shock one after another.

With full marks being one hundred, Yu Yingxue taking ninety?five proved that her level of cultivation, spells, bloodline, and all other aspects of potential were absolutely first?tier. She was fully qualified to enter Yuantian Academy.

"Yu Yingxue, ninety?five points, extraordinarily high aptitude! You may directly join the academy!"

The examiner loudly announced the result, his voice carrying his own sense of shock.

A number as high as ninety?five hadn’t appeared in who?knew?how?many years.

According to Yuantian Academy’s rules, as long as someone’s score reached ninety points or above, regardless of ranking, they could directly enter the academy.

"Thank you."

Yu Yingxue smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth. She turned and stepped down.

"Lady Yu, congratulations."

In the crowd, a young man cupped his fists toward Yu Yingxue to offer congratulations; it was Qin Wufeng.

Yu Yingxue’s smile faded, a hint of disdain in her eyes. Clearly she didn’t like Qin Wufeng much, but out of courtesy she didn’t show it. She only gave a brief "Mm" and left directly.

"Lady Yu, congratulations."

Qin Tianyu also offered his congratulations to Yu Yingxue, coughing as he spoke, obviously still gravely injured.

"Qin Tianyu, how did you get injured?"

Yu Yingxue looked at Qin Tianyu’s wounds and was slightly surprised. "Who hurt you?"

Qin Tianyu gave a bitter smile and said, "I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Lady Yu."

Yu Yingxue’s pretty face chilled. From Qin Tianyu’s wound she sensed the aura of the Tai Chu Life-taking Sword, and immediately said coldly, "Was it Qin Wufeng who injured you? I’ll stand up for you!"

As she finished speaking, Yu Yingxue drew her Dragonslayer Sword and glared angrily at Qin Wufeng.
