Myth Beyond Heaven

Since Yun Lintian defeated Lan Shu, he had undisputedly become the number one, and no one dared to challenge him again. The royal banquet now became a battle for second place.

A few hours later, the top thirty list was finally determined. Except for the emergence of Yun Lintian, the ranking was within everyone’s expectations.

The second place was Jian Ziqi from the Battle Sword Sect. She managed to defeat Wang Jiacai by a small margin. If it wasn’t because Wang Jiacai suffering an injury, perhaps the result would be the opposite.

The third place was naturally Wang Jiacai. After suffering an utter defeat under Yun Lintian’s hand, he came back even stronger and held nothing back. Except for Jian Ziqi, no one dared to challenge him.

The fourth place was Lan Shu. Her performance against Yun Lintian was strong, so she could have taken second place, but she didn’t seem interested.

The fifth place was the crown prince, Zhou Xianyang. Although Yun Lintian had already expected that Zhou Xianyang was by no means weak, he didn’t expect him to show extraordinary talent. Yun Lintian even suspected that Zhou Xianyang was still hiding his trump card.

The sixth place belonged to Chu Teng, and the seventh place was unexpectedly Shi Nanhua, who magically defeated Yan Huang.

The eighth place was Ye Lianyu. She displayed strong swordsmanship and defeated many potential top-ten winners, including the third prince, Zhou Junyi.

After losing to Ye Lianyu, Zhou Junyi bounced back and managed to secure ninth place.

The tenth place had the most intense competition. It took over two hours to determine the final winner in Zhou Ling’er.

As for the other potential winners like Ximen Xuan from the Ximen Clan, Qin Jun, Chen Lan, and the other top talents, they managed to firmly secure their places in the eleventh to thirtieth place in the end.

“The final outcome has been determined. Thank you, everyone, for participating in this fruitful event. For those who failed this time, you don’t have to feel bad about it because I have great news to announce.” At this moment, Wen Qian got up and said with a satisfied smile on his face.

He felt it was a good decision to hold the event here in the Great Zhou Kingdom. This time, their academy had discovered many top talents in this batch. Especially Yun Lintian, who could be described as a heaven-defying genius.

Wen Qian said further. “From the next year onward, our Heavenhold Divine Academy will recruit more new students. The event will hold here in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Of course, you can also participate in the event that will hold in the Great Xia Dynasty later this year. There’s no restriction… I wish everyone good luck.”

“For the winners today. I’ll give everyone two days to manage your personal matters, and we will leave for the academy afterward.”

“Lastly, I would like to thank the Great Zhou Emperor for providing us a venue. I wish the Great Zhou Kingdom peace and prosperity.”

Everyone in the hall immediately applauded. After hearing the good news, those who were disappointed regained their hope. They would go back and practice hard to participate again next year. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Zhou Xun got up from his throne and said to Wen Qian politely. “It should be us to say this. Thank you for holding the event here, and let us participate in the important event.”

He looked at the group of winners and said. “I wish everyone good luck and hope that all of you can make a contribution to our Heavenhold Realm.”

The crowd gave another round of applause before Zhou Xun announced the end of the event. Everyone began to disperse, leaving Yun Lintian and the other winners behind.

Wen Qian walked over with Hu Wuyou and Ling Han with a bright smile on his face.

He looked at the group of newly recruited students and said. “We will stay in the palace during this period. You can come to me at any time if you have a question.”

Ling Han smiled and said. “Congratulations, everyone. However, this is just the beginning. I hope everyone can still maintain your hardworking attitude after entering the academy.”

Hu Wuyou added. “While all of you are undoubtedly talented, there are others who are several times better than you inside the academy. So, don’t be complacent just because you’ve successfully entered the academy.”

Ling Han turned to Yun Lintian and asked. “I saw you have an extraordinary talent of the water-related profound art. Coincidently, I am proficient in the water-attributed profound arts as well. Do you want to worship me as your teacher?”

Everyone was surprised and subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian, waiting to see his response. Most of them knew how powerful Ling Han was. She was the current head of the academy’s internal affairs department. Once you became her student, it could be said your life in the academy would be stable and convenient.

Hu Wuyou clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and glared at Ling Han. “You don’t talk about ethics at all.”

He turned to Yun Lintian and said. “I don’t dare to say that I am the best in terms of profound knowledge, but I am definitely the best teacher when it comes to battle teachings. Compared to her, I am more suitable to be your teacher. Are you interested in becoming my student?”

Ling Han rolled her eyes annoyingly but didn’t say anything. Regarding seniority, she was considered a younger generation to Hu Wuyou. It was not good to refute him here. She could only look at Yun Lintian, calmly waiting for his decision.

Qin Jun and the others looked at Yun Lintian enviously. If it were them, they would agree directly.

Meanwhile, Wen Qian didn’t say anything. With his position as a head of recruitment, he couldn’t accept anyone as his direct student to prevent committing a partial treatment of students.

Yun Lintian looked at them calmly and wanted to say something. However, Tian Hualing suddenly stepped forward and spoke. “Unfortunately, all of you are not qualified to teach him. Not even your principal.”

As her voice fell, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop significantly.

Hu Wuyou frowned slightly and glanced at Shen Yan in confusion. Tian Hualing was obviously Shen Yan’s maidservant. Although Shen Yan’s status was there, he didn’t think it was appropriate for Tian Hualing to say this.

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Tian Hualing waved her hand, revealing her true appearance…
