Chapter 255: Condensed in an Instant, Audacious to the Heavens!

The noise from the outside world grew louder and louder.

"What is going on? I haven't condensed even a single one."

"That girl has already condensed seven, wuwuwu."

"What do I do, what do I do? I can't feel anything at all. I'm going to fall behind at the very first step of the college entrance exam, aren't I?"

…………

A series of extremely anxious voices rang out; many examinees opened their eyes, their faces showing urgency.

This was human nature.

But it was also the most useless thing.

The more anxious they were, the more useless it was.

Chen Yan's heart was as still as a lake, trying hard to perceive, but he still couldn't feel anything.

Even opening the Word Realm was useless.

Chen Yan realized suddenly that there had never been any profound knowledge in his mind; that was just a means for the Time Domain Phoenix to test one's comprehension.

Immediately after, a second cyan rice grain appeared in front of Chen Yan.

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one...

Finally, when Chen Yan condensed the seventh one, all sensations dissipated completely.

Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked up.

A golden ranking board had appeared beneath the Golden Light Divine Phoenix at some unknown time.

【First Place, San Jin: Seventeen.】

【Second Place, Zhu Lili: Nine.】

【Third Place, Yu Changsheng: Eight.】

【Fourth Place, Chen Yan: Seven.】

【Fifth Place, Zhang Luobai: Six.】

…………

The first round, the battle for Enlightenment Seeds, is over!

Sounds of shock rang out all around, and everyone looked toward the girl named San Jin.

The second-place Zhu Lili only had nine Enlightenment Seeds, yet this San Jin actually had seventeen.

Of course, all the sounds of shock had nothing to do with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was extremely astonished in his heart.

He was actually in fourth place?

He could actually make it into the top five?

It was unscientific.

After all, Chen Yan had clearly perceived before that opening the Word Realm would not increase the growth speed of the Enlightenment Seeds.

This test of a martial artist's aptitude by the Time Domain Phoenix was the most basic test; there would be no accidents.

Chen Yan had always thought his aptitude was extremely poor.

But looking at it now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

"That's right, too." Chen Yan whispered in his heart:

"Brother Luo said that if I could obtain the qualification for a limit-breaking awakening, it meant I had some talent in the path of Qi and blood."

Stowing the seven cyan rice grains in front of him into his space ring, Chen Yan continued to sit cross-legged.

The various opportunities bestowed by the Time Domain Phoenix could only be used within the college entrance exam secret realm.

Chen Yan did not care how many opportunities others obtained.

…………

"How is this possible!"

A low roar rang out; An Yunan stared blankly at the ranking board.

His rank was eleventh, and he had obtained three Enlightenment Seeds.

Moreover, ninth place through fiftieth place all had three Enlightenment Seeds.

In other words, he, An Yunan, was ninth place, and also fiftieth place!

His face turned deathly pale.

Although he kept looking straight ahead, his peripheral vision was constantly scanning his surroundings, as if he could hear sounds of mockery.

"Brother An, you are a limit-breaking genius..." someone nearby laughed.

An Yunan gave a low shout:

"Are you trying to mock me?!"

That person was frightened pale and hurriedly said:

"I meant your strength lies not in talent, but in willpower..."

An Yunan's expression froze, then he suddenly revealed a trace of a smile:

"Right, my willpower is invincible!"

…………

High in the distance.

Chen Xiyuan looked at the ranking board in astonishment.

To be honest, she thought Chen Yan's ranking would be at least in the top two; she hadn't expected it to be only fourth.

If Chen Yan had been in the top two, she would not have been surprised.

What she cared about was, since Chen Yan's aptitude was only fourth, how could he have cultivated to this level in such a short amount of time?

Was it his own perseverance, or did he have a great fortuitous encounter?

Chen Xiyuan thought to herself, looking at the grim-faced Deacon Hu beside her:

"Deacon Hu, that An Yunan you chose..."

Deacon Hu's face darkened:

"I don't like that kid either, but he is a Boundary-Breaking Prodigy; boundary-breaking, boundary-breaking—willpower is greater than aptitude."

Chen Xiyuan gave a clever smile and said no more.

What Deacon Hu said was, after all, not wrong.

…………

At the same time.

Zhu Lili, with her red hair, opened her eyes; she saw the names on the ranking list, and her gaze trembled.

Following that, when she saw the two characters 'Chen Yan' in fourth place, she frowned slightly.

"Your aptitude is indeed not bad, but compared to me, it is still lacking; I really don't know how the Sect Minister could say the words that your aptitude is stronger than mine?"

Zhu Lili gave a light huff in her heart, and at this moment looked again at the name San Jin.

Looking at this first place who had surpassed her in an almost crushing manner, Zhu Lili could not help but clench her fists.

She followed the gazes of the crowd and found that girl named San Jin, suddenly her expression trembled slightly.

So beautiful.

It's just that, that San Jin seemed to be looking at...

Zhu Lili furrowed her brows, followed San Jin's gaze to look again, and actually saw a handsome young man wearing a pitch-black General Star Uniform.

Chen Yan?

Zhu Lili narrowed her eyes; was San Jin looking at Chen Yan?

An illusion?

…………

"Do... do you want a Dao-Enlightenment Seed?

I... I have... ex-extra ones."

A stuttering voice rang out in Chen Yan's mind; Chen Yan opened his eyes and looked behind him in astonishment.

That girl named San Jin was looking at him without blinking, as if the Dao-Enlightenment Seed that everyone cared about was completely worthless in San Jin's hands.

Chen Yan was speechless; at this moment, a great deal crossed his mind.

"No," Chen Yan said, and turned around.

He was not stupid; San Jin's kindness toward him was very strange, yet very natural, making him think of something.

But he would not take someone else's fortuitous encounter.

Everyone has their own fate.

It was also at this moment.

Boom!

A booming sound suddenly rang out from afar.

Exclamations of alarm arose.

A young man wearing a Fifth-Rank General Star Uniform held a long saber, blood dripping from the tip.

In the space before him, the body and head of a person wearing fine robes were separated, blood spilled out, and they fell from high in the air.

Murder!

That Fifth-Rank General Star had actually drawn his saber and killed someone directly.

"Forcibly seizing the fortuitous encounter of my Military Prodigy, do you really think my Military has no one?"

The saber-wielding youth shouted in a low voice, tossed a Dao-Enlightenment Seed from his hand toward a woman, and then glared at his surroundings.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, sounds of Qi and blood exploding rang out.

One figure after another stood up, glaring at the saber-wielding General Star.

"Li Gu, you dare to kill a genius of my Aristocratic Family Alliance, you have such great guts!"

One person roared, killing intent surging.

Boom!

That youth named Li Gu slashed out directly with his saber; the saber radiance streaked across the high sky and instantly struck that person.

"Pfft!" That person spat blood, a hideous bloodstain appearing on their chest.

Li Gu shouted in a low voice:

"What I kill are exactly you beasts who scrape away the fat and blood of the people!"

He swept his long saber, scanning the surroundings:

"We poor disciples have put in countless efforts to finally stand here, and you lot still dare to snatch it?

I was born in humble circumstances; this General Star Uniform on my body was forged by my own flesh and blood.

If you want to come and kill me, then come and kill!"

Boom!

The long saber pointed to the sky, its radiance piercing the heavens.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Radiance of blood-energy and martial power, like pillars of wolf-smoke, roared instantly from high above.

One by one, the military prodigies unleashed their strength, glaring at their surroundings.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The roars resounded through the air.

They saw first that it was the geniuses of the Aristocratic Family Alliance who had first snatched the Dao-Enlightenment Seed from the military woman, and only then did Li Guo draw his blade to kill.

The Military Guard must not be insulted!

All around, there was shock.

Is a war about to break out?

"Enough!"

A low shout rang out.

Crack!

Thunder light whistled as Zhang Luobai unleashed his blood-energy and looked around:

"The Dao-Severing Seed is about to appear; right now, the opportunity is what matters!"

Boom!!!

A blood storm rose up.

The red-haired woman Zhu Lili stood up and glared at Zhang Luobai:

"Zhang Luobai, you are the grand-disciple of Chief Inspector Lu Xunyang, who exactly are you speaking for!"

Zhang Luobai's expression stiffened:

"What I meant... was that the Dao-Severing Seed is about to appear."

"Hmph!" Zhu Lili let out a cold snort, then looked at Li Guo:

"Li Guo, continue your cultivation; no one can kill you!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

The youth named Li Guo looked up at the sky and laughed:

"A bunch of cowards who only know how to bully the weak, trash!"

He sat down cross-legged.

All around, the prodigies of the Aristocratic Family Alliance all wore expressions of anger, and murderous intent surged in the eyes of many.

Chen Yan's expression was calm; he swept a glance at Li Guo.

Sensing the murderous intent constantly emerging all around, Chen Yan looked toward the direction of Shen Youning, Shao Hengyang, and the others.

Then he spoke:

"Come over to my side."

Shao Hengyang and the others stiffened slightly, then hurriedly stepped through the air and sat down around Chen Yan.

"Chen Yan, is a war going to start?" Li Qingyuan asked, somewhat nervously.

"I don't know." Chen Yan closed his eyes.

To the side, Xu Di was about to speak, but heard Chen Yan continue:

"If a war starts, then we kill."

His voice was flat, as if it contained no murderous intent.

The crowd was stunned, and their eyes suddenly twitched as they looked at Chen Yan.

Especially Xu Di and Shen Youning.

They were well aware.

This person was the Ice Intent who had slaughtered over a thousand living beings of the Gong family.

Screech!

The high-pitched screech of a Divine Phoenix rang out once more.

A sheet of red light descended.

Within this red light, endless murderous intent was contained.

The second trial, the Dao-Severing Seed, a contest of courage!

And at the very moment this red light descended, an illusion appeared in Chen Yan's mind.

It was Chen Xiyuan, only this time Chen Xiyuan was no longer powerful, but instead stared at Chen Yan:

"Kneel."

Boom!

Chen Yan threw a punch, and Chen Xiyuan's head exploded.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Hum!

Outside.

Specks of red light condensed in front of Chen Yan.

A blood-red grain of rice appeared.

"So fast!"

"Holy shit!"

"In an instant, what did Chen Yan do to condense a Dao-Slaying Seed all of a sudden!"

Sounds of astonishment rang out one after another.

These voices traveled upward.

Inside the independent space of the Time Domain Phoenix, the various prodigies who had just closed their eyes opened them instantly.

One by one, they looked toward Chen Yan's side.

Their gazes all trembled.

They hadn't even sensed the energy of the red light yet, and Chen Yan had already condensed the first Dao-Slaying Seed.

"He..."

Zhu Lili's body was somewhat stiff.

This person is daring beyond the heavens!
