A few days later, in Canglang Royal City.

This is an ancient city at the end of the Flying Cloud Mountains!

The city is vast and filled with the traces of endless years. On the city gate, countless broken divine weapons and sharp blades are embedded, each exuding a formidable aura, said to be remnants from battles fought by powerful warriors in ancient times!

At this moment, a resolute figure carrying a sharp sword emerged from the forest.

He appeared somewhat disheveled, his blue clothes dirty and untidy, but his eyes were profoundly deep. If someone could look within, they would be surprised to find a faint treasure-like glow emanating from his body beneath his clothes.

The young man was Chu Feng.

"Ye Qing, I've arrived!" Chu Feng spoke coldly.

During these days, he had absorbed all the blood of the Earth Dragon through medicinal means, elevating his cultivation to the Seventh Layer of the Hundred Refinements! His body had undergone a significant transformation.

And today.

It was the day of the entrance examination for Destiny Academy!

Destiny Academy.

At this moment, it was packed with people, countless disciples from noble families, young talents, all gathered here.

"The academy has finally opened its doors!"

"Today, I must pass the examination and enter the academy to cultivate! Only by entering the academy can one truly become a powerful warrior!"

"I wonder which senior from the Outer Court will be the examiner today!"

The crowd was buzzing with excitement.

Chu Feng arrived here and paused slightly. With his perception, he didn't need to listen deliberately; he could hear all the conversations around him.

Since refining the spirit essence of the Earth Dragon, a mysterious power had emerged in his mind.

His senses had all improved significantly!

"As expected of Destiny Academy, even on an ordinary examination day, so many young geniuses have gathered!" Chu Feng glanced over the crowd, slightly moved.

Among the young martial artists present, there were quite a few experts who had reached the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, with formidable strength.

There were even body-refining martial artists with robust physiques, exuding a heavy aura!

"They're here!"

"I wonder if it will be a senior ranked in the top hundred of the Outer Court!"

Suddenly, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

The academy's gate opened, and two figures walked out, a man and a woman. The man was very tall, with an ordinary appearance but a strong aura, while the woman was also extraordinary, dressed in white, aloof and proud.

As the two walked out of the academy, the man seemed to subtly defer to the woman.

"It's Senior Brother Yang Gang!"

"Senior Brother Yang Gang, ranked one hundredth on the Earth Ranking of the Outer Court! He's an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements!"

The crowd whispered in awe.

Destiny Academy, being the largest sect in the Canglang Realm, had relatively loose rules, and even the entrance examination was unique.

Those responsible for the examination were mostly experts from the Outer Court of the academy. Anyone ranked in the top hundred of the Earth Ranking had the qualification to become an examiner, while the true experts observed from the shadows!

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"Who is that woman?"

"I see Senior Brother Yang Gang seems to be deferring to her!"

Someone inquired.

Upon seeing the aloof woman, their eyes lit up, "What a beautiful person, she must be an expert in the Outer Court as well! Could she be a top hundred expert too?"

Chu Feng also looked up, his eyes flashing with cold light upon seeing the woman.

"Ye Qing!"

The aloof woman was none other than Ye Qing!

"You don't know?"

Someone beside him spoke loudly, "This woman is extraordinary!"

"She's said to have an Innate Spiritual Root, and with the blessing of an Innate Spirit Vein, once refined, she can instantly step into the Qi Transformation Realm, with limitless potential. It's said she was personally brought back by a senior from the Inner Court!"

"Her name is Ye Qing, and in just over ten days since entering the academy, she has already reached the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, with hopes of breaking through to Qi Transformation and entering the Inner Court within three months!"

"Moreover!"

"In these ten days, upon entering the academy, her ranking has rapidly climbed, already reaching the fiftieth position! She is on par with those senior brothers in the Outer Court who are half a step into Qi Transformation!"

"Most importantly, Ye Qing is one of the newly acclaimed four great beauties of the academy!"

The crowd praised her.

Ye Qing's aloof and cold beauty, combined with her astonishing talent, made her instantly famous throughout Destiny Academy, becoming the most dazzling star!

Unexpectedly, it was her and Yang Gang who came to serve as examiners this time.

"Sister, it seems your charm is indeed extraordinary. In just over ten days, you've already become famous in Canglang Royal City!" Yang Gang looked at Ye Qing with some flattery.

"It's just a false reputation!" Ye Qing replied loftily.

Aloof and coldly beautiful.

She stood there like a celestial being, indifferent to everything.

"Yes!"

"Sister, I'll handle the examination here!"

Yang Gang nodded repeatedly.

"Alright!" Ye Qing responded indifferently.

Hearing her response, Yang Gang was delighted. Being able to please Ye Qing was a great opportunity! Although their realms were not far apart, Ye Qing possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, allowing her cultivation speed to advance by leaps and bounds.

It wouldn't be long before she could advance to the Inner Court.

Becoming an elite disciple of the academy.

In the entire academy, there were many experts at the Ninth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, but only about three hundred had broken through to Qi Transformation and stepped into the Inner Court!

Moreover, Ye Qing's talent was extremely high!

Yang Gang walked to the entrance, waved his hand, and a powerful pressure emanated, "Fellow disciples, I am today's examiner, Yang Gang!"

"You should know that the academy's examination consists of three parts!"

"First! In martial cultivation, the older you are, the more your vitality declines, making it impossible to become a true expert! Therefore, if you haven't reached the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements by the age of twenty, you are directly eliminated!"

"Second!" Yang Gang pointed to the academy's stone gate, "The stone gate of the academy is made of ancient materials, with immense pressure descending. Those who cannot pass are directly eliminated!"

"Third!"

Yang Gang pointed to himself, "The third part is the most important, which is to spar with me. If you have reached the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, you can pass directly without examination and rank among the top!"

"If no one reaches the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements in this examination, then whoever can last the longest against me will prove to be the most outstanding!"

A confident glint flashed in his eyes.

The Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements was among the top hundred in the Outer Court, and even martial artists of the same realm might not be able to defeat him, let alone these young martial artists who were only at the Sixth or Seventh Layer of the Hundred Refinements.

The entrance examination was not only a test for these new disciples but also an evaluation of the academy's own disciples!

"Everyone, those who are twenty years old and have not reached the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, please step back!" Yang Gang announced loudly.

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Several young people, looking dejected, stepped out of the line, sighing heavily.

"Just a little more, sigh! If only my talent were higher, I could have participated in the examination!" This group of people stood aside, full of helplessness.

"Anyone else?" Yang Gang asked loudly.

The crowd stirred again, but no one stepped forward.

At this moment, a cold snort came from the shadows of the academy, and in the next moment, several young people hiding in the crowd were directly sent flying, spitting blood.

Yang Gang's gaze turned cold, "This is the consequence of dishonesty! The Outer Court elder merely gave a slight punishment!"

Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked!

"A snort from a distance, and people are sent flying! This... must be at least a strong expert above the Eighth Layer of Qi Transformation!"

Chu Feng was amazed; Destiny Academy was indeed unfathomable, with even the Outer Court elders possessing such profound cultivation!

"Alright!"

"The remaining ones are all young talents, please proceed to the second part!"

Yang Gang gestured, pointing to the stone gate, and spoke loudly.

Just the first part of the examination had already eliminated nearly half of the participants!

"Please!"

Yang Gang said.

The academy's gate suddenly seemed to awaken, and the ancient stone gate emitted a heavy pressure!
