Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Just Like Young Students Together!

”The boy, Ling Feng, is that his name?”

The square-faced tutor’s gaze lingered on Ling Feng, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he turned to ask a past student beside him.

”Yes, Tutor Muu Ren.”

”Good,” Tutor Muu Ren spoke in a hushed voice, ”When the time comes to record the scores, list Ling Feng and that other boy who persisted until the end as joint first.”

”Understood, sir!”

The senior student nodded promptly. Tutor Muu Ren was a Heavenly Level Nine Star Tutor; aside from the Dean and Scholars of that rank, he wielded the greatest authority—and he was a candidate for those senior roles.

”This year indeed has a good number of promising seeds,” Tutor Muu Ren said with a light smile, ”Perhaps, we’ll see a few individuals who could influence the Empire’s fate.”

The moment Ling Feng stepped out of the Array, Ouyang Jing rushed over, giving him a thumbs up, ”Brother, you’re really a good man!”

Beside him, Lio Yunfei couldn’t help but say, ”Brother Ling, ever since that time in the Heavenly Vein Forest, I knew you were no ordinary person. I admire you greatly!”

”Brother Lio jests,” Ling Feng replied with a calm smile. He had only done a trivial thing, yet it could change Jiang Xiaofan’s entire destiny; why wouldn’t he be happy to do it?

”Brother Ling, my name is Su Mu, a descendant of the Yunzhou Su Family. To witness how effortlessly and righteously you were in the Sword Array, how you graciously handed over the first place, I am truly awed.”

The young man who followed Lio Yunfei out of the Sword Stele also stepped forward to greet Ling Feng with a bow.

Barring any surprises, they would be classmates in the same cohort.

”Brother Su!” Ling Feng also returned the greeting; they were all talented and promising youths of the same cohort.

Indeed, to be students together at such an age, in their prime and spirit in harmony—how delightful!

...

As the day turned to dusk, the entrance examination finally came to a close.

Out of nearly ten thousand youths who participated in the entrance examination that day, less than eight hundred were ultimately accepted, showing the severity and cruelty of the selection process.

The eliminated young martial artists could only leave with their heads down, their spirits crushed. Some younger ones might still have a chance to join the Heavenly Position Academy if they returned to hone their skills.

Finally, as the sun set, the academy’s announcement area posted the final results.

Initially ranked ninth, Ling Feng’s placement dropped to thirty-fifth in the end. The top ten spots had been erased.

According to Ouyang Jing, each year, ten peerless geniuses are selected to be directly sent to a secret team for a year of clandestine training; only after a year would they emerge. These peerless geniuses are the real ”secret weapons” of the Heavenly Position Academy.

Having been identified as a Saint Level True Qi talent, Ling Feng had a great chance to be among those ten, but since his Physique was only that of a Human Spirit Body, he was ultimately excluded.

However, Ling Feng wasn’t bothered by this.

As the sky grew darker, he went to the place he had previously arranged to meet with Mu Qianxue, but unfortunately, she did not return as promised.

”Could she have been eliminated and left early?” Ling Feng sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of emptiness, ”She must be very disappointed.”

”Big brother, we both got accepted!” Ouyang Jing came running over cheerfully, his face lit with excitement. ”I ranked just over six hundred and managed to stay on. Oh, and that guy named Jiang Xiaofan, because he set a new record in the willpower assessment, he got specially accepted too!”

”Not bad.” Ling Feng smiled faintly, thinking to himself that if Mu Qianxue could also get accepted, it would be even more perfect.

In his mind, Mu Qianxue’s willpower definitely wouldn’t be inferior to Jiang Xiaofan’s.

Little did he know, Mu Qianxue wasn’t eliminated, but rather because she was too exceptional, she had been secretly taken away...

”Oh right, big brother, during the True Qi talent test, that Qin Wanwan who had the Twelve Stars talent, her results were pretty amazing. She ranked just a few places behind you, thirty-eighth!”

”Thirty-eight, huh... that does have a ring to it...”

Ling Feng touched his nose. Earlier, he had glanced over and already noticed a few familiar names.

Lio Yunfei, overall ranking twenty-seventh, a bit higher than himself. Mainly because his Physique turned out to be a Nine-star Earth Spirit Body, which was quite an advantage.

There was also Su Mu, who had always been silently competing with Lio Yunfei, with an overall ranking of thirty-three, both very close.

...

At the outskirts of the Martial Arts Square inside the Heavenly Position Academy, after dealing with various matters overnight, the next morning, apart from the top ten unparalleled geniuses who were secretly sent for special training, the newly accepted seven hundred-plus ”Yellow Character Disciples” were, under the guidance of the old students, first sent to the Internal Affairs Department to collect their Yellow Character Sect clothing, Tokens, and a copy of the ”Academic Rules” before they were each allocated a dormitory to live in.

The over seven hundred Yellow Character Disciples were, according to certain standards, divided into the East, South, West, North, and Central Five Academies.

The allocation of living areas according to the partitioning of the academies was somewhat akin to the Outer Disciples of the Wenxian Sect.

Coincidentally, Ling Feng and Ouyang Jing were both assigned to the East Courtyard. When it came time to allocate the dormitories, Ouyang Jing spent a few Crystal Coins and managed to share a courtyard house with Ling Feng.

”Tianshu East Courtyard.”

Looking up at where he would live for at least half a year, Ouyang Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Big brother, the conditions here aren’t bad at all!”

Ling Feng pursed his lips. Indeed, the Heavenly Position Academy was the Heavenly Position Academy; to think that even the Yellow Character Disciples each got their own individual bedroom.

Taking big strides into the courtyard, he saw a quadrangle setup with a loft on the left, middle, and right side, and a spacious courtyard in the center planted with lush, verdant pines.

The courtyard was paved with green stone floor tiles, marked with various scars from swords, spears, sabers, and halberds, evidently used as a place for morning practice.

Near the right loft was an ancient well, with several old wooden buckets beside it.

A very simple and clean place.

”My room is number four, and big brother, you are next to me, number five.” Ouyang Jing busied himself showing Ling Feng into his room. Since they both had Spirit Storage Rings, there was no need to carry any luggage themselves, making it quite convenient.

Just then, another youth walked into the courtyard, carrying behind him a massive backpack taller than an adult, tightly packed, and holding big and small packages in his hands. He stepped into the courtyard, each step heavy and firm.

”Thud! Thud! Thud!...”

As the dark and sturdy youth set down his baggage, the ground shook violently several times.

Ling Feng and Ouyang Jing couldn’t help but turn around to look. When they saw the young man’s face, they were both taken aback and exclaimed, ”Eh, it’s you?”
