Chapter 35: This Dragon... Is A Bit Strong

After the Five Elements Academies had finished their verbal sparring, the two students from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had also concluded their assessment.

One passed Level 6, the other passed Level 7, and both ended up with Level 3 Soul Hunting Ground qualifications, leaving many teachers from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy shaking their heads incessantly.

The student slots on their side were always difficult to land on the strongest students, so the final results achieved were often worse than those of the Five Elements Academies.

"Next, Elephant Armor Academy!"

At this moment, it was finally Huyan Li's turn; his tiger-headed, bear-waisted appearance easily attracted everyone's gaze.

"Awoo! Watch me take down Level 9 and come back!"

He shouted and hollered as he rushed inside...

Not long after, he walked out looking disheveled and dirty, then let out a roar of grief and indignation: "How is a human supposed to beat that dragon at Level 9!"

"Tch, if your strength isn't up to par, don't push yourself. Just watch me."

The scene of Huyan Li just being brutally crushed didn't scare Huo Wu at all; she walked in with her arms crossed...

After another while, Huo Wu crawled out, looking completely wretched: "Cough, cough... this dragon... this dragon is simply not... cough, cough..."

"Huo Wu, are you alright!"

Feng Xiaotian ran out at the right moment, wanting to express his concern, but was kicked back by a grumpy Huo Wu: "Did you run over specifically to see how wretched I look?!"

"Huo Wu, don't be angry, I'll go avenge you right now!"

Feng Xiaotian strode forward with a majestic gait, intending to leave Huo Wu with a righteous and awe-inspiring back, but Huo Wu didn't even glance at him.

"Bing'er, it's your turn next, don't embarrass our Tianshui Academy..."

The Tianshui Academy teacher was providing psychological preparation for Shui Bing'er: "Don't look at how fierce those Soul Beasts look; they are actually fake. Don't be afraid. As long as you unleash your own strength, there will definitely be no problem."

"Teacher, what if I only enter the Level 3 Soul Hunting Ground? Will the academy be very embarrassed?" Shui Bing'er asked in a low voice with her head bowed.

The teacher originally didn't want to put pressure on her, but thinking of her timid personality, she hardened her heart and said: "Yes, if students from other academies all enter the Level 2 Area and only you are in the Level 3 Area, then the academy's reputation will be completely lost because of you."

Shui Bing'er nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Teacher, I will definitely clear Level 8!"

"Level 8?" The teacher was very puzzled.

Shui Bing'er nodded as if it were a matter of course and said: "Doesn't Level 8 allow one to enter the Level 2 Area?"

"So you don't intend to challenge Level 9, is that it?"

The teacher covered her head...

Meanwhile, Feng Xiaotian finally walked out of the Mimicry Soul Hunting, his clothes torn in half.

"This Level 9 dragon... is indeed a bit hard to fight..." he said, feeling slightly awkward.

At this time, Education Committee Member Meng Shenji suddenly said: "The Soul Beast in the Level 9 assessment has strength 5 levels higher than your own, which is to say it is equivalent to a Level 35 Soul Beast. Although it is difficult, it is not without a chance."

He swept his gaze over the crowd and said: "If you want to enter the Level 1 Area to hunt Soul Beasts, then you must at least fight the Level 9 Divine Dragon to a draw. And if you want to enter the Special Grade Area..."

He paused before pointing at the entrance: "Then go and defeat it!"

"5 levels higher? That's something only a supreme genius would have a hope of tying, right?"

"I wonder if anyone this year can succeed. The rest are Tianshui Academy, Thunder Academy, and Dugu Yan from our academy, right?"

"Didn't they say the personal disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Jian Douluo also came?"

"..."

The discussions rose and fell.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er had already walked in cautiously.

After she cleared Level 8, everyone looked forward to her challenging Level 9, wanting to see if she could be more impressive than the previous three.

However, they waited for quite a while, and no scene of a Level 9 challenge appeared.

Then... they saw Shui Bing'er walk out from the exit... walk out... out...

"Te... Teacher..."

Shui Bing'er quickly hid behind her teacher and asked cautiously: "Why are they all looking at me?"

The Tianshui teacher covered her face and said: "It's nothing, they just think you're pretty..."

She had a premonition that Tianshui Academy's Elite Tournament this year would be impossible to watch. They clearly had a reserve Captain with a top-tier Beast Spirit, but this personality...

It really didn't have any of the aloof temperament of an Ice Phoenix at all!

She didn't know when she would truly be able to grow up and stand on her own...

"Huyan Li, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er have all obtained Level 2 Area qualifications..."

After Education Committee Member Meng Shenji finished announcing, he looked at Yu Tianxin: "Next, Thunder Academy."

If one wanted to tie with the Level 9 Divine Dragon, he felt it still depended on Yu Tianxin. After all, the last success was Yu Tianheng from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and both of them came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

"Hmph! I want to see if this fake dragon can defeat my true dragon!"

Yu Tianxin strode forward and stepped directly into the Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

The first 8 levels were calm and uneventful, and no one outside was surprised.

Until Level 9, a battle far exceeding the previous few broke out inside, which was a feast for the eyes of everyone watching.

This match lasted for a long time, and in the end, both collapsed, successfully ending in a draw!

"Thunder Academy, Yu Tianxin, has obtained Level 1 Area qualifications," Education Committee Member Meng Shenji announced.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Suddenly, many people started applauding.

Because this match was truly brilliant.

"Next, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Dugu Yan."

This name immediately caught Qin Jian's attention. The short-haired girl in dark green clothes walked up and stepped into the cultivation ground, disappearing from sight.

"I wonder what kind of result she will achieve..."

Qin Jian's eyes were bright and piercing.

Unlike Yu Tianxin, none of her battles erupted with much turbulence, because she could rely solely on her Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison to smoothly kill her way to the 9th level.

In this final battle, she did not adopt a head-on tactic, but instead chose to maneuver while continuously eroding the opponent with Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

Finally, after a long time...

She exhausted her soul power, and the mimicry giant dragon was also poisoned to the ground by her...

"Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Dugu Yan, obtains Level 1 Area qualification."

However, there was no applause this time, because her fighting style could not be compared to Yu Tianxin's fist-to-flesh approach, so it was naturally not as easy to gain a sense of approval.

"Next, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong."

At this moment, Education Committee Member Meng Shenji finally called Ning Rongrong's name, but he quickly added another sentence: "Given that Ning Rongrong has a Support System martial soul and lacks combat ability, the academy has decided to grant her Level 2 Area qualification directly."

Once these words were spoken, although no one dared to object, there was no goodwill in those varied gazes either.

After all, everyone else obtained their qualifications through combat, so it was naturally difficult for Ning Rongrong to gain recognition by being parachuted in like this, even though they all knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the top-tier Support System martial soul.

"Wait a moment, I will fight for Rongrong's qualification..."
