Chapter Thirty-Five: Passing the Test

  Through testing

  "Next, number seventeen!!" The female instructor shouted loudly.

  Number Seventeen immediately struck out with a punch at the female instructor, but Number Seventeen's strength was clearly much higher than Number Sixteen's. After the female instructor dissolved his attack, she smiled and said, "Not bad, your spirit is stirring, just like the daily ebb and flow of the tides. Your strength has reached the peak of the Flesh Realm, you can enter the Academy to cultivate. A servant will take you to the assigned section soon!!"

  Number seventeen got excited and went underground. Soon a servant came to receive him, apparently to arrange his admission procedures.

  Luo Shui Tian explained to Zhou Yuan, "After entering the academy, it is divided into segments, according to time, two years advance one segment, a total of nine segments. The longest study period is eighteen years, and after eighteen years, you can leave the academy and graduate!!"

  Zhou Yuan was shocked, "What, eighteen years? It's going to take so long?"

  "Of course, if you reach the seventh level of the Magic Realm, where you can move heaven and earth, you can graduate from the academy at any time. If after eighteen years, you still cannot break through to this realm, you will also be expelled from the academy. At that time, your reputation will be ruined, and you will lose face to the extreme! However, this is nothing, most people who spend eighteen years in the academy are not able to reach the realm of moving heaven and earth, they can at most only reach the fifth level of the Magic Realm, Ling Kong Xū Du's realm!!"

  Zhou Yuan's mind was shocked, "Eighteen years old and already able to reach the state of Lingkong Xuvu? It seems that entering the academy to cultivate really speeds up progress. The one who slaughtered my entire Zhou family was only at this level!"

  "How many people in the history of the Academy have reached the state of moving heaven and earth before they were eighteen years old? Can we graduate early?" asked Feng Ao Xue.

  "The Emperor's College and Tongtian College I don't know, but the Zhenwu College has only appeared three times. One is the Holy Son of Haoran Holy Teachings, Xuyuan, one is the eldest son of Chen Wangfu, Chen Shanming, and the other is the first genius outside the domain, Shentu Sha. However, they have long since left the Zhenwu College, as for their whereabouts, no one knows."

  "What's outside the domain? What is outside the domain?" Zhou Yuan said in confusion.

  "In the Central Continent, there isn't just one Great Yan Empire. There are many smaller empires as well. These small empires, we collectively refer to as the 'Outer Realms'. However, their powers aren't even worth mentioning when compared to the Great Yan."

  "Next, number twenty-five!!!"

  The test is still ongoing, Zhou Yuan was startled awake by the female instructor's voice, he took a look at the token that had just been handed to him, thirty-eight!!

  Time flies quickly, and after a short while, it was Zhou Yuan's turn. Before him, the majority of the testers were at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, with their Qi refinement reaching an extent similar to the ebb and flow of the sun and moon. All these people passed the test and entered the school. There was also a small portion of people who had achieved the Spiritual Sensation Realm, but only a limited number of them were exceptionally gifted, able to exhibit abilities comparable to those at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, and they too were allowed to enter the school despite not meeting the usual criteria.

  "Next, number thirty-eight!!"

  Zhou Yuan was shocked, then took a step forward, coming to the front of the female instructor. He moved his mind, and his breath was released without any concealment, which made all three instructors feel a shock.

  "You are a cultivation of the Magical Boundary, and can already be considered a magician!" The female instructor said, they three were also cultivations of the first gathering yuan boundary of the Magical Boundary, but she could feel the power bursting out from Zhou Yuan, which was even stronger than hers, with a hint of being slightly suppressed.

  Zhou Yuan nodded, "As expected, first rank of Law Phase, cultivation of Gathering Yuan Realm!"

  At this time, the male instructor standing beside him stood up and said to the female instructor, "You step aside, I'll test her. Her strength is even stronger than yours!!"

  The female instructor nodded and stepped aside.

  At this time, the other examiners were shocked. It was not uncommon for a cultivator of the Yuan realm to come and take the test, but it was rare to see someone stronger than the instructor.

  And this male instructor is the strongest among the three instructors, only one step away from entering the second heavy casting realm.

  Zhou Yuan also saw that the male instructor's strength was very powerful, stronger than the female instructor by at least three times. However, Zhou Yuan didn't mind at all, because he could feel that this male instructor's strength still wasn't a match for his own.

  "Kid, you're incredibly powerful! Make your move!! Let me see how well you've cultivated!"

  Zhou Yuan didn't hold back either, gathering his Thunderbolt Force in his right arm. With a single step forward, his body arched like a bow, and he threw a fierce punch at the male instructor.

  Delicious...

  Seeing the electric arc flashing on Zhou Yuan's right arm, the male instructor was shocked and exclaimed, "The power of thunder, my god, you are actually a Thunder Element mage, this is unbelievable!!"

  However, he didn't slow down and countered with a fierce punch towards Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan could see that the instructor's fist was rapidly forming layers of solid ice, clearly indicating that he was a water-elemental mage.

  Rumble...

  Mmmmmm...

  A large amount of electric arcs burst out from Zhou Yuan's hands, transmitting to the instructor's body. Immediately, the instructor felt a severe shock throughout his entire body and was paralyzed by the electricity, continuously retreating in succession.

  After one move, it was clear who was superior and inferior, and the instructor was completely defeated by Zhou Yuan after just one exchange.

  "What incredible power! This young man has actually defeated the strongest of the three instructors with just one blow, how awesome!!"

  All the testers were shocked, they knew the instructor's strength. In the past, those who had gathered their energy and wanted to enter the True Martial Academy were defeated by this male instructor with one move. Now, the wind and water have turned around, and surprisingly, this instructor was defeated by a young man with just one punch.

  Zhou Yuan's strength is really shocking.

  However, only Zhou Yuan himself knew that he defeated the instructor not because his yuan power was stronger than the opponent's, but because the thunder element he cultivated restrained all elements and was the strongest elemental force.

  The male instructor steadied himself, took a deep breath, and slowly stabilized the turbulent elemental energy within his body. The opponent's strength was slightly higher than his own in this one move, but what truly shocked him was that the opponent was actually a Thunder Element mage, which was simply astonishing.

  "Awesome, I didn't expect it, someone actually dares to cultivate the Thunderbolt Element, it's truly a rare sight in a thousand years. My loss isn't unjustified, you passed the assessment directly!!" The male instructor said with admiration.

  Zhou Yuan nodded, "Then thank you, Instructor! These two are my friends, can you also test them?"

  "No need to test anymore, this woman is at the peak of physical realm, and this one, is even the third young master of Luo Wang Fu, their strength has all reached the standard, no need to test, you have all passed, servant, come over and take the three down to handle the admission procedures."

  Three attendants immediately walked over and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yuan and the others, after which several people left the martial arts arena and headed deep into the academy.
