Chapter 91 - Academy's Requirement
Chapter 91 – Academy’s Requirement
Ye Xiaolong began to explain. "To be obliged to participate in the assessment, the participant's age must be below twenty and has strength at Spirit Profound Realm at a minimum. The Sky Throne Profound Academy has always maintained absolute fairness. No matter what your background is, you are allowed to apply for the assessment if you passed the initial requirement."
"The assessment has three parts altogether. The first one is, of course, a knowledge test. From what I heard, this part is not particularly difficult. They are merely testing our fundamental knowledge related to the profound ways."
"The second part is the survival test. You will have to survive in the wilderness for a week. I'm not sure about this one, but my father once told me they allow everyone to kill each other. So if the weak participants don't want to get killed, they could choose to give up at any time."
"As for the last one, it is the test of strength. Everyone who survived until this test will have to fight each other. Only the top five hundred rankings could finally become the student."
Ye Xiaolong looked at Yun Lintian and said further, "With your current strength, you should forget about it." He then turned to Yun Qianxue with a smile, "However, if Miss is willing to work hard in these seven months, I think you will certainly reach the Spirit Profound Realm in time… How about this, why don't you travel with me? I can send you to the Profound Sky Divine City safely."
Yun Qianxue remained silent, wholly ignored Ye Xiaolong's invitation as she turned to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian wanted to laugh. If Ye Xiaolong knew Yun Qianxue's actual age, he wouldn't say this. He then asked, "I wonder what's the benefit of becoming the student there?"
Ye Xiaolong was dissatisfied with how Yun Qianxue seemed to care about Yun Lintian. He said, "The place where you come from must be extremely remote to the point that you don't even know about this. It's simple, your fate would change entirely if you managed to enter the academy. Even my father has to be polite in front of their student. You can imagine about it by yourself."
Yun Lintian touched his chin and pondered. He simply wanted to determine this Sky Throne Profound Academy's status in the Northern Continent. From Ye Xiaolong's words, he understood this academy might rank second under the Frozen Moon Palace.
Certainly, Yun Lintian didn't intend to participate in this assessment. With the Land of Beyond Heaven, he didn't need to enter a fraction to earn resources.
Seeing Yun Lintian pretended to ponder, Ye Xiaolong smiled disdainfully… What's there to think about it? You don't even reach the Essence Profound Realm. He thought.
At this moment, various dishes had been served, and Yun Lintian immediately dug in without caring for Ye Xiaolong's contempt.
Ye Xiaolong looked at the dishes on the table and frowned. He felt these low-class meals were beneath him. He looked at Yun Qianxue and said, "Miss, why don't you come with me to the private room? I can guarantee the foods there are a hundred times better than this."
Yun Qianxue still didn't reply and continued to pick some vegetables for Yun Lintian.
Ye Xiaolong's patience reached its limit. He had tolerated Yun Qianxue many times now, and he didn't want to continue further. His face turned cold. "Miss, have you ever heard this 'to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?' I have given you enough face already, but you didn't appreciate it. Don't blame me then."
Following that, Ye Xiaolong waved his hand, and two strong men in the distance immediately arrived beside Yun Lintian's table. From the aura they had released, their strength should be at least the tent level of Earth Profound Realm.
Yun Lintian wanted to give Ye Xiaolong applause… What a classic! He even said that classic proverb!
"Kill him." Ye Xiaolong pointed at Yun Lintian with a cold smile. He didn't believe Yun Qianxue won't give in with Yun Lintian's life on the line.
The two bodyguards released a powerful aura, enveloping the entire restaurant, causing everyone in the dining hall to suffocate.
Yun Lintian sighed and said, "Now I understand the protagonist a bit. No matter how low-key you are, someone will eventually find you trouble… What a headache."
Ye Xiaolong frowned upon hearing this. He didn't understand what Yun Lintian said but could see Yun Lintian wasn't panicking at all. This caused him to wonder where was Yun Lintian's confidence came from.
Just as the two bodyguards were about to grab Yun Lintian, they suddenly found their arms had been severed in a flash.
"Ugh!" They were stunned for a moment before groaning in pain.
Ye Xiaolong was dumbfounded as he stared at Yun Lintian blankly. His strength had already reached the tenth level of Spirit Profound Realm, but he didn't even notice any movement from Yun Lintian at all!
"H… How?" Ye Xiaolong's expression gradually turned horror. He knew he had kicked an iron plate this time.
Yun Lintian looked at the several dishes on the table that were now stained with blood with a helpless expression. He sighed and turned to Yun Huanxin, "At least, you should protect our food."
Yun Huanxin stuck her tongue out and said, "Sorry, I forgot about it."
Only this time did Ye Xiaolong turn to look at Yun Huanxin. He had always regarded her as a little girl for all this time. Who would have thought she was an expert? What more, she was even stronger than his bodyguards!
Everyone in the dining hall was silent as they were shocked by the sudden turn of events. When they saw Ye Xiaolong approached Yun Lintian's group, they had already deemed Yun Lintian a dead man. But now, it looked like Ye Xiaolong was about to become a dead man instead.
Thinking of this, some of them who had an idea about Yun Qianxue earlier heaved a sigh of relief and felt their luck was too good. They could not imagine what their fate would be if they were to approach Yun Qianxue.
