Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat!
But this ripple lasted for only one moment. Before Chu Liuyue could react, everything had ended!
If it weren’t because Chu Liuyue could still feel the force in her dantian circulating, she would’ve thought that it was just an illusion.
“Hey! Are you going in? If you’re not, hurriedly make way. Don’t stand in our way!” An arrogant holler came from behind.
Chu Liuyue tured and glanced.
It was three youngsters—one female and two males. They seemed like they were in their early twenties. They all wore lavish clothes, and their appearances were above average.
They had an elegant aura throughout. They were clearly descendants of aristocratic families.
The person talking was the skinny and tall person within.
At the side, that woman said strangely, “Brother Sheng, have you forgotten what the clan leader told you when we left? You must remember to be more discreet when we’re out.”
The tall and skinny one seemed to heed her advice very well as he scratched his head and chuckled. “I’m just scared that we’ll be delayed, right? After all, Fourth Brother and the rest have been waiting for us in the academy for a very long time!”
That woman smiled and said rather embarrassingly, “Actually, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t because I cultivated too slowly and only broke through to become a stage-nine warrior now, you two wouldn’t have to wait for me until this moment.”
The two youngsters hurriedly shook their heads. “You’re just a little young, but you definitely have amazing talent! When you enter Ling Xiao Academy later on, you can definitely break through rapidly to reach the Apotheosis Realm and become a legendary warrior!”
Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled slightly as she sensibly took a step back and made way for them.
The few of them brushed past each other’s shoulders.
That woman nodded slightly toward Chu Liuyue to express her apology.
Chu Liuyue suddenly yelled, “Please hold on.”
That woman—who had already turned around and walked forward—turned back to look at her when she heard this. “Young Master, what’s the matter?”
Chu Liuyue cupped her fists and smiled. “There’s something I would like to ask the few of you.”
The face she had on now wasn’t considered demonic-like handsome, but she was still rather good-looking, In addition to her pair of clear eyes, it was easy to cause one to have a good impression of her.
She smiled slightly, and her eyes curved up a little in a dazzling manner, seemingly able to attract other people’s gazes automatically.
For some reason, that woman’s cheeks became slightly warm. “Young Master, go ahead.”
Chu Liuyue asked, “The students that Ling Xiao Academy recruits have to at least be stage-nine warriors?”
Once she said this, Chu Liuyue saw that the few people’s faces became strange in unison. They looked at her as if they were looking at something weird.
“Which hole did you come out from? You don’t even know this?” The youngster who hollered at the start couldn’t help but speak.
Originally, he wanted to say more, but the woman at the side glared at him.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not the case,” explained that woman gently. “Normally, cultivators who become stage-nine warriors before they’re 25 will have the right to enter Ling Xiao Academy. But if one is exceptionally talented, there is a chance that they’ll make an exception. The eventual results depend on
the academy’s teachers and elders.”
Chu Liuyue kept quiet for a moment. “Then… do they have the same requests for heavenly doctors and Xuan Masters?”
“Pfft.” That woman couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. For these two, they just require the candidate to reach the eighth-grade before they’re 25.”
Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. “Thank you, Missy.”
That woman smiled slightly and nodded. She didn’t take the initiative to report her name, nor did she ask about Chu Liuyue’s as she quickly left with the two youngsters.
In Fangzhou, there were countless people who tried to enter Ling Xiao Academy every day, but only a few of them could make it. If they had to exchange pleasantries and names every time they causally saw a person, it would be too tiring and unnecessary.
Chu Liuyue didn’t mind it either. After seeing the few of them leave, she kept quiet and walked inside.
This time, her dantian was completely calm.
The moment Chu Liuyue entered the city, a white-haired elder suddenly jumped up from his bed in an isolated courtyard. He surveyed his surroundings in a panic as if he were afraid of something and hurriedly rushed out!
At this point, there was a long queue outside the courtyard’s entrance.
Most of the people standing here were young men and women. Their faces were filled with unconcealable excitement and expectations as they kept glancing at the elder in white sitting on a chair at the front from time to time.
There was a table in front of him, and the table had three booklets.
Different-colored stones were placed in front of the booklets.
At this moment, a youngster placed his hand on the middle white crystal and gathered all his focus to insert his force! His face flushed red, and it could be seen that he was trying his best.
The people behind didn’t speak at all as they clearly all became nervous.
The reason why they behaved in such a manner was that this test was Ling Xiao Academy’s examination!
The ordinary-looking elder sitting behind was one of the Ling Xiao Academy teachers stationed at Fangzhou—Elder Wen Xi.
The surroundings were completely silent.
Elder Wen Xi squinted his eyes and looked like he was about to fall asleep at any time.
A moment later, a line of words appeared on the white crystal: “23 years old. Peak stage-cight.”
Elder Wen Xi glanced at it and closed his eyes. “Out. Next.”
That youngster’s face immediately flashed white from its initial red!
But at this moment, Elder Wen Xi suddenly widened his eyes! He suddenly stood up and looked toward the city gate in shock.
At the same time, another elder rushed out from the courtyard.
The two of them exchanged glances and could see each other’s gazes.
Elder Wen Xi’s eyelids harshly twitched as he said with a trembling voice, “T-that troublemaker is here again?!”
