Asura Continent

There were two rows of people on the plaza that were preparing to participate in the exam. A small portion of the people that were participating in the College Entrance Examination were standing on the left side, while the majority of the people that were participating in the Martial Arts Academy were standing on the right side. It was not because people did not like reading books, but because the Western Chu Nation was a country that placed emphasis on martial arts. Even though they were equivalent in rank, the status of a general was slightly higher than that of a civil servant.

With a blink, over ten thousand people lined up, and a portion of them already entered the Mortal Life Academy and started the exam.

Lu Yang and Little Fatty Li stood at the back. There were still a few thousand people ahead of them waiting for their assessment. It would take a while for them to reach their turn.

After about half an hour, there weren't many people left. At this speed, it would only take half a cup of tea for them to arrive. Little Fatty Li looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said: "Lu Yang, your cultivation is not high enough, do you want to go to the Arts Academy first? After you enter the academy and become an official student, think of a way to enter the martial academy? "

Lu Yang had thought of this question before, but in the end he still rejected it.

With Lu Yang's outstanding memory, entering the Humanities Academy wasn't difficult. However, if he wanted to abandon his literature and join the martial arts ranks, the Mortal Life Academy might not agree.

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "No need. When I meet the instructor, can he meet with the dean? As long as I deliver the letter to the dean, I might be able to make an exception and enter the Martial Arts Academy."

"A letter?" Little Fatty Li was taken aback. "You even know the principal?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "If I knew the principal, would I still have to stand in line here?"

Fatty Li thought about it, what Lu Yang said made a lot of sense, so he asked again: "Then how did you get the letter?"

"I know a senior. That person had some relations with the headmaster, so he wrote a letter for me." Lu Yang did not want to tell anyone else about Su Erzhong, so he simply told them about it.

Little Fatty Li's eyes lit up as he sighed, "I didn't expect you to know such a senior. If only I had met you a few years ago, I would have broken the rules and entered the academy instead of waiting for three years."

"A few years ago, I was still a poor kid who just escaped from the Lu Manor. At that time, even if you asked me about this matter, I still wouldn't be able to get you the letter!" Lu Yang thought like this in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he just smiled.

In the blink of an eye, half a cup of tea's time had passed. Lu Yang and Little Fatty Li, one in front and one behind, entered the Mortal Life School.

The academy was very large. Upon entering, a straight path could be seen. The continent was paved with stone, and it was abnormally flat. It was around three zhang wide, and it was large enough to accommodate several carriages side by side. After walking for about three hundred meters, two courtyards appeared in front of them. Those who were participating in the College Entrance Test would enter the left side, while those who were participating in the Academy's assessment would enter the right side.

Lu Yang walked into the yard and took a look. The yard was filled with young men and young women. Most of them were men, and there were women as well. There were only a few dozen people in there. Most of these young men and women were dejected and dejected. Obviously, they didn't pass the test. Only a few hundred people were extremely excited, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

The courtyard was very large, even larger than the plaza. Fan Yuanpeng stood in the middle of the courtyard with a huge stone tablet placed in front of him. The stone stele was three meters tall and half a meter wide, and appeared to be ancient. If you looked closely, you would be able to see countless engravings on the stele, and the engravings were very strange.

Little Fatty Li has already been here once and is very familiar with the usage of the stone tablet. He stared at the stone tablet and said: "This stone tablet is very magical, it can determine a person's cultivation level. As long as a punch is thrown on the stone tablet, the stone tablet will emit light." "If it is a yellow light, then it is a Yellow Rank cultivation. The brighter the yellow light, the higher the cultivation. If the entire stone tablet emits a dazzling yellow light, then it will prove that it has reached the peak of the late stage of the Yellow Rank."

At this moment, there were a few people still taking the test in front of Lu Yang. Fan Yuanpeng's expression was solemn as he pointed at the person at the very front and said, "It's your turn. Raise all of the true strength in your body and punch the stone tablet."

"Yes." The youth took a step forward, took a deep breath, and threw a punch towards the stone monument.

With a muffled bang, the stone tablet didn't move at all like a boulder. It was as if the youth's true strength had been absorbed by the stone tablet.

The next moment, the stone tablet began to emit a yellow light. Although the yellow light was not weak, it had not reached the dazzling level of Chengdu.

Fan Yuanpeng's face darkened. He looked unhappily at the youth and said, "Middle Huang Level, disqualified." He paused, then asked, "Do you have any specialties?"

The youngster seemed to know this result and was not nervous. He said, "Instructor Fan, I have been proficient in sword arts since I was young. Is this considered a specialty?"

"Sword Art?" Fan Yuanpeng's brows twitched. He seemed to be interested as he said, "If you were to display a set of sword technique to me, then if you are truly as proficient in it as you say, I can break the rules and allow you to enter the academy. Otherwise, don't come back for the next three years."

The youth nodded and drew out the sword at his waist. He suddenly raised his right hand and attacked Fan Yuanpeng.

The long sword danced in the air, transforming into many sword flowers that arrived in front of Fan Yuanpeng at an astonishing speed.

This young man's swordsmanship was pretty good. Even though he hadn't cultivated it to perfection, it was impossible to reach this level without a few years of hard work. If one did not look at the attack power of the sword and only looked at the fancy stuff, then the appreciation was truly quite good. In a short time, many people in the crowd started clapping and cheering.

The youth didn't really want to attack Fan Yuanpeng. The moment the flower of swords arrived in front of Fan Yuanpeng, he withdrew it and said with some pride, "Instructor Fan, my sword technique is pretty good, right?"

Fan Yuanpeng snorted coldly, saying with disdain, "This is also called swordsmanship. Do you think it can kill people?"

The youth's face became ugly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Fan, why can't I use my sword technique to kill someone? Back in the village, I would often go up the mountain and kill ferocious beasts like wolves, tigers, leopards and so on. "

"This sword technique of yours can even kill ferocious beasts. It's simply a trick." Seeing that the youth still hadn't given up, Fan Yuanpeng snorted coldly. "Attack me. If you can even touch the corner of my clothes, then I'll consider it your victory."

The youth had a face full of confidence as he said, "Instructor Fan, if I win, then let me enter the Mortal Life Academy. How about it?"

"Sure, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance." Fan Yuanpeng was too lazy to waste words, so he changed the subject. "Let's begin!"

The youth gave a low roar and brandished the sword again. This time, his speed was even faster than before. As he swung the sword, hundreds of sword flowers turned into sword shadows that shot towards Fan Yuanpeng's chest. It had to be said that the speed of the sword was extremely fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of Fan Yuanpeng, and just as it was about to touch the corner of Fan Yuanpeng's clothes, an unexpected scene occurred.

Fan Yuanpeng let out a cold snort. He raised his right hand and swiftly passed through the sword shadow. He then opened the sword hilt.

Clang! The sword in the youth's hand was knocked off. He had to take three steps back to stabilize his body.

The youth's expression changed drastically as he looked at Fan Yupeng in astonishment. He shook his head and said, "Impossible, how could you possibly strike down my sword?"

"Like I said, your sword art is indeed fancy, but it doesn't have much offensive power. Could it be that when you face an army in the future, you'll use your sword shadows to scare them away?" Fan Yuanpeng said coldly, "Not qualified. Next."

The teenager was unwilling. He picked up the sword and said, "Give me one more chance."

"I already gave you the chance, you didn't take it." Fan Yuanpeng said harshly, "Get out of the way, or I'll kick you out of here." With these words, his body once again released a tremendous aura.

The youth sighed and walked to the side with his head down. His eyes were filled with regret.

The next candidate to go on stage had also been cruelly eliminated because their cultivation was too low.

Of the first few people, besides one person who had reached the great circle of the late yellow level, the rest were not qualified.

Lu Yang frowned. He didn't expect that the failure rate for the assessment would be so high. He asked in a low voice: "Since they are not qualified, why are they here to participate in the assessment?"

Little Fatty Li understood what was going on and said, "You may not know, but most of these people are at the peak of the late stage of the Yellow Rank. It's just that they haven't stabilized their cultivation not too long ago." "They came here to gamble and see if they could unleash their full strength. But, they didn't expect that each of them would be so nervous that they would only be able to display the strength of a late stage yellow-rank, and would end up miserably eliminated."

Lu Yang nodded his head in understanding. If he had just broken through to the great circle of the late stage of the Yellow Ranked, and the date of the assessment was approaching, he would come to gamble.

Not long after, it was Lu Yang's and Little Fatty Li's turn. Fatty Li moved in a flash to Lu Yang's side and said: "I'll go first, think about how to deal with Instructor Fan later."

Lu Yang nodded his head and patted Little Fatty Li on the shoulder, saying: "Good luck."

"Don't worry!" Little Fatty Li said confidently, "This time, I will definitely succeed."

With a flash, Little Fatty Li appeared in front of Fan Yuanpeng and bowed. He then took a deep breath and punched the stone monument with all his strength. With another muffled bang, the stone tablet released a dazzling yellow light. At this moment, everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

As the yellow light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes. Most of them were looking at Little Fatty Li in envy, because he had succeeded in his test.

Fan Yuanpeng nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Little Fatty Li." Little Fatty Li answered.

Fan Yuanpeng took out a stone medallion from his sleeve and threw it to Little Fatty Li. "Take this and wait over there. After the exam is over, we'll enter the Martial Arts Academy together."

"Yes, Instructor Fan." Lil 'Fatty Li bowed and turned around to walk a short distance away.

The moment he turned around, Little Fatty Li glanced at Lu Yang, his eyes clearly reminding him to give up the assessment if it really didn't work out. It wouldn't be too late to come back next year.

Fan Yuanpeng glanced at Lu Yang and said, "Next."

Lu Yang strode over and bowed as well. Clasping his fists, he said, "Can we begin?"

Fan Yuanpeng could tell with a glance that Lu Yang had not even met the criteria for the assessment. He didn't even have a false realm and waved his hand. "You can leave now. If you give up now, I can let bygones be bygones. On the other hand, if you insist on taking the test, you'll lose the qualification to take the test within three years.

The so-called pseudo realm meant that after breaking through to a new realm, one's cultivation had yet to stabilize.

Lu Yang answered without even thinking, "I want to participate."

"Yet another person who will not give up until he sees the coffin. I would really like to see where you get your confidence from." Fan Yuanpeng was too lazy to waste words with Lu Yang. He believed that Lu Yang was just like those people and had a stubborn personality. He waved his hand and said, "Do you see that stone tablet? If you use all of your strength to do one punch, it will tell you your current cultivation. "
