Vast Heaven Domain.
As the most well-known Great Domain in the Northern Spiritual Realm, the Vast Heaven Domain was filled with countless academies, schools, or even martial halls.
Among them, the most famous was the Haotian Academy!
Most clans or sects raised their juniors to treat them as their inheritors. After spending countless efforts and using countless cultivation resources to help the younger generation grow up, it was natural for them to take over the sect or clan, become the sect master, clan leader, elder, etc., and lead the entire sect or clan to glory.
But Haotian Academy was different. Haotian Academy only provided the most basic cultivation environment, not providing any cultivation resources or painstaking efforts to cultivate students.
Haotian Academy prioritized learning all kinds of knowledge.
The knowledge of cultivation, the knowledge of medicinal pills, the knowledge of identification, and even some ancient history and biography.
As a result, even commoners without any qualifications, as long as they worked hard enough and studied hard, would still be able to pass the exam and enter Haotian Academy!
Within Haotian Academy, all external forces were restricted to interfere with students. All the methods that students could use were limited to the knowledge and abilities that Haotian Academy had.
This meant that even if a descendant of a super clan entered Haotian Academy, they wouldn’t be able to use their clan’s foundation during their four years of study. They wouldn’t be able to use any powerful spiritual tools, talismans, or life-saving techniques given by their elders.
But even so, in the history of Haotian Academy for over a thousand years, when they graduated every year, the ten most outstanding people were also known as the top ten of the Heaven Ranking. Without exception, they were all disciples of large clans, large sects, and large powers.
The best achievements achieved by civilian students were barely in the top 100. However, this thousand-year tradition had been broken by one person!
That was the top of the previous Heavenly Ranking, He Yiming!
Within Haotian Academy, all of the super monastery’s classes were suspended, and thousands of students were rushing towards one place.
They were all going to Haotian Academy’s plaza, because today, the previous top ten of Heavenly Ranking was here!
“Quick, today’s the first round of the exam!”
“Tell me, will Senior Brother He really come?”
“Senior Brother He will come! He was a true genius and a god of us, commoner students!”
Many students from Haotian Academy were discussing it excitedly.
“But I heard that after Senior Brother He Yiming graduated, he established a sect from scratch, and the academy only gave it a first rank sect seal*?
“He … can he beat the others?” a new student who had just entered Haotian Academy asked curiously.
The other civilian students fell silent.
Yeah. Can he defeat them? How could he win?
Many students knew that Gu Changfeng, who was second on the Heaven Ranking, had become the head of the Zhen Yuan Sect upon graduation.
That was a second rank sect. It had more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders, hundreds of disciples, and there was no lack of genius disciples.
The Zhen Yuan Sect had at least a hundred disciples whose cultivation and attainments far surpassed He Yiming.
He Yiming couldn’t even compare to the disciples, let alone the personal disciples?
At this moment, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the plaza of Haotian Academy. Many students had heard the news. Regardless of whether they were training from far away, or many of them who were on the same level as He Yiming, or even more senior than He Yiming, all of them were rushing towards the plaza.
Everyone wanted to watch this test with their own eyes.
This was because He Yiming would participate in the exam.
“Hmph! These civilians are crouching ants! Their mythical He Yiming will soon be destroyed!”
“That’s right. In the academy, if you rely on hard work and perseverance, you might be able to obtain a small number of results! But after leaving the academy, what can they rely on? Of course, it’s the clan, the background, the sect, the power!”
“These civilians will soon understand the cruelty of the cultivation world! He Yiming’s defeat would make them understand that they are nothing after leaving the academy! Not to mention delusion to stand on the same level as us!”
In the audience, there were also many students from large clans, large sects, and large factions waiting to watch a good show.
After being able to use their background and power, wouldn’t the civilian He Yiming, who had no background or backstage, be doomed immediately?
At this moment, the crowd suddenly fell silent. It was because the headmaster, vice headmaster, and other great figures of Haotian Academy all stood on the high platform.
“Today, we have the sects of the previous top ten of the Heaven Ranking! It’s only through this round of examination that I have the qualifications to continue to become a sect master and control a sect’s power!
“Because of some reasons, it was held twenty days ahead of time!
“Now, please enter!”
Several dozen figures slowly walked out under the gazes of countless students. The first to appear was Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng, who was wearing the robes of the head of the Zheng Yuan Sect, was extremely dashing and handsome. He strode out with absolute confidence.
He had just graduated and had become the head of the Zhen Yuan Sect, a second rank sect. He was completely different from the other students of Haotian Academy.
Many ordinary students from Haotian Academy would be extremely lucky if they were able to enter a small sect or household and become a deacon or an outer sect elder after graduation.
Perhaps, they could go to some pill refining halls and become a receptionist in the forging pavilion, or the manager of the main hall.
However, Gu Changfeng was already the Sect Master of over a thousand disciples.
There were over a dozen Foundation Establishment experts under him.
“Hmph, does He Yiming dare to come?” Gu Changfeng’s eyes turned, but he didn’t see He Yiming.
“Sect Master, don’t worry. That trash will definitely come. After all, the only reason he’s alive until now is that he’s going to be trampled under our feet!” one of the four disciples behind Gu Changfeng said eagerly.
“Yes, that’s right!” Gu Changfeng was extremely pleased with these words. He nodded in satisfaction and strode out.
Next, the top ten of the other Heaven Rankings all took out their carefully selected four disciples.
Without exception … All of them had entered the Spirit Vein Realm!
Moreover, all of them possessed special talents or constitutions. When all the students saw this scene, they were immediately filled with worry.
“I heard that when Senior Brother He graduated, he was only at the tenth level of the Body Refining Realm!”
“That’s right, and Senior Brother He is just like us. He’s from a commoner background and doesn’t have any special abilities or special constitution …”
“In the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, any of their disciples, regardless of their aptitude or strength, are far superior to Senior Brother He … Senior Brother He will lose!”
The ordinary students were all extremely worried.
There were even a few civilian students who were thinking. Senior Brother He might as well not come!
He will lose if he comes.
“Look!” Suddenly, many people cried out in alarm.
The students of Haotian Academy all looked over and immediately revealed a look of shock.
A hundred-meter-tall silver-blue flying crane slowly landed on the side of the square.
“It’s Icefeather Crane! Peak Seal Wheel Realm spirit beast! Heavens!” Many of Haotian Academy’s instructors have changed greatly.
One of his mounts had reached the peak of the Sea Wheel Realm, and it was a spirit beast that was ten times rarer than a demon beast.
The entire Haotian Academy didn’t have any Sea-Wheel spirit beasts, let alone peak Sea-Wheel spirit beasts!
“Only she is qualified to possess such a terrifying mount!” The Vice President of Haotian Academy, Gu Hang, spoke with extreme fear.
Soon after, the five figures on the back of the Icefeather Crane lightly leaped and landed.
Shockingly, the leader was one of the leaders of the previous Heavenly Ranking of Haotian Academy! Nangong Li!
Behind her were four peerlessly beautiful young girls. They were also disciples of the Ice Palace controlled by Nangong Li.
“It’s Nangong Li! “
“Nangong Li, who was one of the top leaders of the previous year of Haotian Academy?”
“Heavens! Senior Nangong Li’s disciples are all this powerful?”
Many students didn’t know Icefeather Crane, but they were shocked to see the four disciples Nangong Li had brought along!
That was because the four female disciples behind Nangong Li had the same cultivation bases. The weakest was at mid-stage Spirit Vein Realm!
Too scary!
After many students graduated from Haotian Academy, they would not be able to reach the mid-stage of the Spiritual Vein Realm with all their efforts. However, the weakest of Nangong Li’s disciples was at mid-stage Spirit Vein Realm.
This gap was too great!
Nangong Li’s identity was clearly extraordinary, and she was invited into an independent seat by a few of the higher-ups of Haotian Academy. She was very close and could watch the trials from a close distance. At the same time, she wouldn’t be affected by others …
Gu Changfeng and the other Heavenly Ranking geniuses could only sit on the temporary seats on the side of the competition.
Everyone saw this scene.
If it was said that between the commoner students of Haotian Academy and Gu Changfeng was the difference between them. Then Gu Changfeng and Nangong Li were completely different from each other. They were almost from two different worlds.
“Damn it!” Gu Changfeng gnashed his teeth, wanting to step forward several times.
However, Gu Changfeng still held back. Because Gu Changfeng didn’t have the courage.
Nangong Li’s background was too terrifying. Gu Changfeng knew that even if he only stepped forward to strike up a conversation, perhaps … they would bring disaster to his family!
“Is He Yiming the only one left?” The Headmaster of Haotian Academy’s gaze was calm as he asked indifferently.
“Yes, he’s the only one missing!” Vice Principal Gu Hang nodded.
“Hmph, did you think that you’d become the chief? You’re so arrogant?”
“That’s right, how could a junior allow so many of us to wait for him?”
“Why don’t we just deprive him of his qualifications!”
At this moment, several instructors from Haotian Academy spoke coldly. After saying that, the instructors of Haotian Academy all looked at the vice headmaster, Gu Hang. It was clearly under Gu Hang’s orders.
“That won’t do!” However, a graceful voice rang out.
“!” All the higher-ups of Haotian Academy turned their heads.
A beautiful figure dressed in a long purple dress and wearing a veil slowly walked over. One step at a time, the crowd of higher-ups couldn’t help but gulp.
“Yes, so it’s Guest Elder Wang Yue!” Vice Principal Gu Hang suppressed the desire in his heart and bowed slowly.
Wang Yue, Haotian Academy’s most respected chief guest elder, was also in charge of teaching students alchemy knowledge.
As such, she was a Rank 5 Alchemist Master!
Haotian Academy had also spent a great price to invite Wang Yue from the Northern Spiritual Realm’s most powerful Alchemist Organization Pill Tower.
Vice Principal Gu Hang did not even have the qualifications to speak to Wang Yue. Seeing Wang Yue, Gu Hang’s expression sank, and he was rather unhappy. Because Wang Yue had once said that only He Yiming and Nangong Li were qualified to become alchemists! The rest?
They were all trash!
Naturally, it included Gu Hang’s most beloved grandson, Gu Changfeng.
“Yiming’s sect is in the Extremely Desolate Land. That place is an extremely remote place. It naturally takes more time to return to the Academy!” Wang Yue had a sweet smile. As soon as she spoke, she stood directly at He Yiming’s side.
“Mm, then let’s wait!” Haotian Academy’s headmaster nodded. Wang Yue’s position was extraordinary. Since she had spoken, he naturally had to give her face.
“Look at the sky! At this moment” a student cried out in alarm!
Many people looked over. One could only see a huge bird flying through the air. After a few breaths, it flew into the sky above the Haotian Academy Square.
He Yiming, Wang Lufei, and the others were landing. At this moment, in the distant Yan Huang Sect, the players also saw the situation in Haotian Academy through the screen of the Martial Arts Hall.
“Hold the grass, so many NPCs?”
“F*ck, so many people, this is all real-time calculations? Not CG?”
“F*ck, this game is simply tearing through the sky!”
The players were shocked. They had never expected that there would actually be so many NPCs gathered in this new map of Haotian Academy.
This scene was even bigger than the Sea Race’s attack.
“You three, are you ready?” At this moment, Wang Lufei suddenly smiled.
“Of course!” the three of them nodded.
“Brother Ming, are you coming with us?” Beef Noodle turned to look at He Yiming.
He Yiming was stunned, but he immediately understood.
Couldn’t these four guys be more honest?
“All of you, I’ll be there soon!” He Yiming sighed and replied casually.
“What are these people trying to do?” Old man Wang Ping was dumbfounded.
But then …
Wang Lufei and the others leaped into the air and jumped down.
