The dark room was instantly illuminated by this pillar of light!
The teacher was stunned, her words abruptly cut off. She looked at the beam of light before her in shock, her mind somewhat dazed despite her years of testing people!
How could it be so bright?
It was just a single pillar of light, how could it be so bright?!
Although Starfire Academy wasn't a large academy and couldn't even rank among the top in Ziye Country, it wasn't without its share of astonishing Geniuses! Thirteen years ago, she had personally witnessed a student who lit up six pillars of light, and now that student was renowned in Midnight Pavilion. Yet, even those six pillars of light combined weren't as bright as this single pillar!
Just one beam of light illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime; she even found it a bit dazzling!
However, this was not just one pillar of light; almost without any pause, the second pillar of light lit up!
The pillar of light instantly reached the ceiling, an identical strong light, as if it would break through the roof!
“How could this be?” The teacher even shielded her eyes with her hand, leaving only a small gap to observe the situation ahead, thinking in a panic, “What is going on?”
However, the shocking events for her had only just begun!
The third pillar of light lit up instantly, without any delay!
The fourth…
The fifth…
Five pillars of light shot up into the sky, their powerful radiance instantly engulfing the entire room. The five beams were so strong that even the teacher could no longer keep her eyes open!
She could only shield her eyes with both hands, even turning her head away, not daring to let the beams shine into her eyes!
Five extremely strong pillars of light stood in front of Lu An. Even if the teacher forced her eyes open, she would be blocked by these five pillars and would no longer be able to see Lu An and the pillars of light from the three Divine Beasts behind him. But fortunately, because of this, she would not see Lu An at this moment!
When the first pillar of light lit up, Lu An felt his heart suddenly thump, as if he could even hear the sound himself, and his body instantly froze!
He felt a burning sensation in his heart. He struggled to lower his head and looked down from the collar of his coarse linen shirt, finding that a light had actually lit up on his heart!
It was a very faint golden line, stretching across his heart, emitting a weak glow. And when the second pillar of light lit up, his heart vibrated violently again, and the light instantly became much stronger!
Lu An looked at his heart in surprise. He didn't know why this thing appeared in front of his heart, and he was even a little panicked! But at this moment, he was completely unable to move!
When the third, fourth, and fifth pillars of light lit up, his heart was already pounding wildly! The golden pattern had also become extremely clear. Although the golden pattern did not emit the powerful beams of light like the surroundings, it also emitted a faint glow.
When the sixth pillar of light rose behind Lu An, Lu An's heart suddenly vibrated violently, and this vibration instantly spread throughout his entire body!
“Thump-thump!”
Lu An’s body shook, and in an instant, a familiar sensation swept over him. His eyes widened to their fullest, and in the center of his pupils, a red dot slowly emerged!
When the seventh beam of light lit up, Lu An instantly lost all consciousness, but the red dot in his eyes became increasingly obvious!
The eighth pillar of light shot up into the sky, and Lu An's body was even shaking wildly. The red in his pupils became very clear, even leaving red lines in the air as his body trembled!
Eight pillars of light—not to mention Starfire Academy, this was something that had never happened in the entire Ziye Country! If the teacher had been able to see it, she would probably have been so shocked her jaw would drop!
However, a sudden change occurred! The eight dazzling white pillars of light had just lit up for less than an instant when, in a flash, the eight pillars of light flickered and actually turned into eight red pillars of light!
These eight red pillars of light were extremely bright, instantly transforming the entire room into a sea of red! This red was not crimson, but a very strange red, a soul-stirring red, a red that instilled fear!
However, these eight red pillars of light only lasted for one second before instantly disappearing! All the light in the vast room dissipated, and it instantly reverted to its original dim state!
And Lu An, who was in the Eight Ancient Clans formation, lay on the ground as the pillars of light disappeared. Unconscious, he remained motionless, his face pale, as if he were dead.
After more than ten seconds, the teacher in the room gradually regained her vision and tried to open her eyes to look at the dim room. Having just been exposed to strong light, she couldn't see anything. But with a wave of her hand, a flame instantly flew out, igniting the oil lamp on the distant wall.
The room instantly lit up. She looked at the Eight Ancient Clans formation, now devoid of light, and discovered Lu An lying on the ground within the formation. Her heart trembled, and she quickly got up and rushed over!
After all, someone who could light up five beams was already an absolute Genius of Starfire Academy, and her view of Lu An immediately became more serious. She reached out and touched Lu An's neck, finding that he was still alive, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She placed her hand on Lu An's heart, and Tian Yuan Power instantly flowed through Lu An's heart throughout his entire body. After a short while, Lu An woke up.
Lu An felt his body gradually fill with strength. He slowly opened his eyes and found the teacher in front of him. He quickly struggled to get up from the ground and stand, asking respectfully, “Teacher, how... how did I do?”
The teacher was about to say five pillars of light, but she paused, thought for a moment, and then asked, “Did you see how many pillars of light there were yourself just now?”
Lu An was startled by her words. After thinking for a moment, he remembered only five pillars of light, so he said, “Five.”
“As expected.” The teacher also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said, “That’s right, five pillars of light. You passed the test. From now on, you are a student of Starfire Academy.”
Lu An was stunned, staring blankly at the female teacher in front of him.
The teacher was also surprised to see Lu An suddenly spaced out. Then, she saw that Lu An's eyes were a little red, so she felt relieved and said with a smile, “I know you’re very excited. Don’t worry, Starfire Academy will cultivate you well.”
Lu An forced down the stinging in his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously, saying, “Thank you, Teacher!”
“Go, give your family the good news, and then you’ll need to report to the Academy.” The teacher smiled and said kindly.
“...” Lu An paused, about to say something, then hesitated, and then said with a smile, “I will, Teacher.”
“Go, exit through the front door.” The female teacher pointed to the door ahead.
Lu An was startled, only then realizing that returning the way he came meant failure. He said sincerely, “Thank you, Teacher.”
With that, he strode out through the front door.
“Five beams of light, it seems my Starfire Academy is about to produce another strong practitioner!” The female teacher looked at Lu An’s back and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “I wonder if he can Breakthrough the Fifth Grade barrier and reach Sixth Grade Celestial Master? If he really can, then my Starfire Academy will truly turn things around!”
At this moment, the teacher in the adjacent room heard two thumps on the wall, looked up, and said to the beautiful girl in front of her, “You can go in now.”
The girl was startled and asked with some confusion, “Did that person just now succeed?”
If anyone else had asked this teacher, she would have been very impatient, but this girl was truly too beautiful to refuse. She said with a smile, “Yes.”
The girl frowned, thinking that it was good, she would teach him a good lesson at the Academy. She turned and walked towards the inner room.
The door closed. The girl didn't even need the teacher to speak and walked directly towards the Eight Ancient Clans formation. But the Eight Ancient Clans formation was not a secret, especially since the teacher had not yet recovered from the five pillars of light just now, and she didn't pay much attention to the girl.
However, when she saw all eight pillars of light lit up, she was so shocked her jaw almost dislocated!
She even rubbed her eyes with all her might, looking closely, counting one by one. Indeed, there were eight pillars of light; not a single Divine Beast was dim!
Eight pillars of light!
The legendary eight pillars of light!
The teacher even felt like she was going to faint, because she had never believed she would live to see the eight pillars of light, which were called the 'Chosen of Heaven'!
