Chapter 85: Chaos of the Assessment

New Tianyuan Calendar 12345, February 2nd.

The sky above Flying Dragon Mountain was cloudless. Many young cultivators climbed the mountain together; they were the candidates participating in the academy assessment this time.

Most young cultivators climbed the mountain alone, and some were accompanied by elders from their families or sects who wanted to watch the excitement together.

At the top of the mountain, a huge arena had already been set up. On the arena, led by the teacher Cao Ziwei, were four academy students behind him.

Lin Jing, in white clothes with a gourd hanging from his waist; Zi Ling'er, in a fire-patterned pill robe with a fragrance of pills; Yuan Jing, in pure black robes with a long sword on his back; and Xu Zhi, in a green long gown, looking elegant.

"That is the academy teacher Cao Ziwei. It is said that he has a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation base and is proficient in the art of looking at qi!" An elder introduced Cao Ziwei to his juniors:

"It is said that once Mr. Cao returned to his family, a junior in the family was recruiting a son-in-law, so he asked Mr. Cao to check. He just took a look and recommended an innate mortal body among a group of geniuses to this junior, calling him 'prosperous to his wife'. In the end, this junior gave up a pursuer with a special constitution and chose this mortal body. Guess what? In the end, the two innate mortal bodies actually gave birth to an 'Innate Lightning Spirit Body'! This is the fiercest Innate Spirit Body!"

"After this, many women from cultivation families like to pay Mr. Cao a lot of money to check when choosing a husband. If you can be favored by Mr. Cao, you will be blessed. As long as he says you are prosperous to your wife, it will not be a problem for you to marry into any cultivation family!"

"So that's how it is." The young cultivator looked at Cao Ziwei with burning eyes and said: "This prosperity-to-wife technique is really powerful!"

"Are these four the examiners representing the academy students this time? Two early Foundation Establishment stages, one ninth level of Qi Refining, and one seventh level of Qi Refining?"

Some candidates for this session also carefully looked at the four people, Lin Jing, and were choosing suitable candidates to challenge.

"Choosing a Foundation Establishment examiner must be very difficult to defeat, but if you perform well, even if you fail, the score will definitely be higher than defeating the seventh-level Qi Refining examiner!" A young cultivator analyzed, whispering in his mouth: "If you have confidence in yourself, challenge those two!"

The elder next to him heard his analysis, slapped him, and transmitted his voice: "How did I teach you on weekdays? No matter what you do, information must be put first. That seventh-level Qi Refining one is from the Beast-Taming Sect. What is powerful is his pet beast. A few months ago, he just came to Hidden Dragon City and directly defeated a Foundation Establishment cultivator with his current cultivation base. His strength is extraordinary!"

"The other three were his defeated opponents half a year ago! Of course, they were all Qi Refining at that time. Now that some have reached Foundation Establishment, it must be different."

"But no matter what, the fame of this beast-taming cultivator is greater than the other three in Hidden Dragon City. Defeating him might get a higher score. After all, the Hidden Dragon Academy cultivates luck and reputation!"

"Ah???" The young cultivator who was slapped was dumbfounded. What?! So deceptive?! The academy's assessment is too insidious.

"So you should challenge that Beast-Taming Sect one! Lowest cultivation base, greatest fame. If you don't choose him, who do you choose? You can better demonstrate yourself and get a high score!" Seeing that the junior was not promising, the elder told him the information he knew so as not to fail the assessment.

Most candidates were analyzing information and judging which examiner was most suitable for them.

This assessment was said to be a test of combat, but wasn't it also a battle of information?

Of course, there were also those who had absolute confidence in their strength, with a calm expression, such as the Heavenly Divine Body of the Wang family. He looked like a dragon and phoenix among people in the crowd, with an extraordinary temperament.

Wang Xiao crossed his arms around his chest, his silver armor flashing. His eyes had been on Cao Ziwei, waiting for him to announce the start of the assessment, and he had never looked directly at Lin Jing and the others.

The aura was so strong that ordinary candidates dared not approach him.

"Time is up!!!" At this moment, Cao Ziwei rose into the air and looked at the crowd in front of him, his eyes sweeping over: "I am Cao Ziwei, the chief examiner for this academy assessment. Welcome everyone to apply for the academy."

"Today is the first assessment. No matter what path you cultivate, your own strength is the foundation. Next, please choose one of the four academy cultivators in front of you to challenge. I will score according to everyone's actual performance."

"Alright, no more nonsense. Which candidate will challenge first?" After he finished speaking, a sturdy teenager at the ninth level of Qi Refining immediately flew onto the arena.

"I am Lei Chou from the Thunder Sound Valley in the Dao Region." This sturdy teenager reported his family background. Thunder Sound Valley could not be considered a large sect.

The valley did not cultivate thunder techniques, but body-tempering techniques, using thunder to temper the body, so thunder and lightning flickered faintly between his skin.

"I want to challenge him." He looked at the thin Xu Zhi: "I have long heard of Young Master Xu's great name!"

Xu Zhi jumped onto the stage freely and looked at the body cultivator.

"You are very courageous. It seems you must know that I once killed a terrifying snowfield body cultivator in the Grotto-Heaven! He was an Innate Ten Thousand Beast Body with powerful strength. You are also a body cultivator. Are you trying to challenge me to prove that you are more powerful than the snowfield body cultivator who entered the Grotto-Heaven?"

When Xu Zhi boasted about himself, Yuan Jing and Zi Ling'er's mouths twitched. How could a person be so thick-skinned? He said it without blushing. That snowfield body cultivator was clearly seriously injured by Lin Jing, and you just added a punch!

"Yes!!!" Lei Chou raised his mouth. He just wanted to prove that he was stronger than the snowfield body cultivator!

"Assessment begins!" Cao Ziwei quickly announced the start of the assessment. Thunder light flashed on Lei Chou's body, his figure disappeared instantly, and he attacked Xu Zhi. His speed was terrifying.

But at the same time, people only saw that Xu Zhi had a bamboo weapon in his hand at some point.

Xu Zhi's bright eyes flickered. He found the position and pulled the trigger. The Mechanism Bamboo Spear instantly shot out countless bullets, falling in the direction of the body cultivator's advance and around him.

This work was compiled and uploaded by...

Xu Zhi continued to shoot, blasting out a shuttle of spirit bean bombs. When the water mist dissipated, Lei Chou was already lying on the ground, unconscious and unwilling to close his eyes. He remembered that literary cultivators didn't fight like this.

"Your speed is good, but I have had night vision since I was a mortal, and my eyesight is extraordinary. Speed has no meaning in front of me. And your physical strength is far worse than that snowfield body cultivator. I'm afraid my ability will hurt you too much, so I'll just defeat you with this bamboo spear." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked back, changing the magazine in his hand.

Cao Ziwei looked at Xu Zhi, fell silent, and then said: "Next candidate."

This body cultivator was carried down. Except for showing good speed, his performance could be said to be miserable.

Many candidates were still looking at the weapon in his hand in a daze.

That's not right. Why does this thing feel more lethal than conventional literary cultivation methods?

"I'm coming. I want to challenge Xu Zhi!" Another young man came up. He was dressed in black with golden tiger patterns embroidered on it.

"Gao family of Demon Extermination, Gao Sheng!" After he introduced himself, there was an uproar at the scene. Is it that Demon Extermination family?

And seeing someone challenge him again, Xu Zhi was also very willing, but hearing the challenger's name, he was stunned for a moment, and had a bad premonition.

After Gao Sheng jumped up, to everyone's astonishment, he also took out a machine gun exactly the same as Xu Zhi's and said: "I have one too, hahahahaha!"

Xu Zhi's vision went dark. Oh no.
