Canglan College!

Ye Xuan took a look at the man’s body in front of him. He sighed with emotion in his heart. “In Qing City, the means used in those aristocratic families to compete for benefits are extremely cruel already. I have never thought that the competitions between those great forces are even more cruel and merciless.”

Lu Xiaoran suddenly pointed to a round platform not far from the path and asked, “Little friend, do you know what is this?”

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at it. Near them, there was a round platform which was about 120 meters wide. On the round platform, there were nine statues of wooden people holding long wooden swords.

Nine statues of wood people stood in a neat row!

“What’s these?” Ye Xuan was curious and asked.

Lu Xiaoran replied, “This is the famous Nine-grid Formation of Cangmu College which is said to have been created by the founder of Cangmu College. Every Cangmu College in the one hundred countries in Qing Continent has the same formation. They said that the formation was designed for an assessment. It’s a special assessment that the Dean of Cangmu College must accept anyone who can break this formation under the age of 20 as his self-passing on the student which is equivalent to be his closest disciple.”

After he said that, he shook his head and smiled. “Unfortunately, for nearly 50 years, no one can break this formation.”

Nine-grid Formation!

Ye Xuan measured that nine statues of wooden people with his eyes. “Is this formation very powerful?”

Lu Xiaoran smiled bitterly. “It’s unusually powerful. Once there was a strong person in the Ascending Realm wanted to try it. But that person was killed before the tenth mission. It was quite a pity because people who can achieve the Ascending Realm before 20 are rarely rare!”

Speaking of which he paused and said, “There was rumored that Cangmu College had invited National Warrior An to break this formation. However, whether she had come or not, no one knows.”

When Ye Xuan was going to speak, an old voice suddenly sounded from the air, “The assessment begins!”

As the voice fell, people gathered in front of the path all rushed out…

Ye Xuan turned to touch Ye Ling’s little head, and then he looked at Lu Xiaoran, “Predecessor Lu, please take care of my sister!”

Lu Xiaoran promised with a smile, “Certainly!”

Ye Ling gently hugged Ye Xuan, “Brother, come on!”

Ye Xuan smirked and then turned to join the crowd.

Looking at Ye Xuan disappeared into the crowd, Ye Ling smiled softly. But soon, her body unexpectedly trembled and then she fell like falling into an ice cellar. Her body was overflowing with a chill, like an ice block.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoran was greatly shocked. He hurriedly said, “Go, let’s go back first!”

But Ye Ling shook her head. “Uncle Lu. It’s okay, I…”

When she said that, she took out the Heaven Fire Warm Jade. “I have this. I, I am fine!”

Lu Xiaoran still wanted to say something, but Ye Ling looked up to the distance. She murmured, “Only when I see my brother join the Cangmu College can I, I, I rest assured!”

Lu Xiaoran sighed in a low voice. He patted Lu Ming lightly. “Go to get your sister Ling two pieces of velvet long furs. Be quick!”

Little fat boy Lu Ming nodded instantly and then turned and ran.

In the distance, Ye Xuan had already disappeared into the crowd. Like everyone else, Ye Xuan was also somewhat excited and thrilled because Cangmu College was just before his eyes. Once he joined Cangmu College, his sister might be cured!

In the crowd, Ye Xuan looked up at the mountainside. He took a deep breath and said to himself, “Fight! For my sister and for myself!”

After that, he speeded up.

In the beginning, everyone rushed very quickly. But after about 5000 meters, almost ninety percent of the people slowed down, and they were getting slower and slower!

Because as they walked, an invisible pressure appeared on them without warning. Each step upward they took, the pressure would increase one more point. Therefore, when the person who led walked almost 10,000 meters, gradually some people were eliminated already!

However, several people who were out in the front still at their fast speed!

Obviously, there were very weak ones, but there were very powerful ones as well.

Ye Xuan walked neither in a hurry nor very slow. As for the invisible pressure, it had no effect on him at all!

With his current muscles and bones as well as his physical body, even the strongest person in the Ascending Realm might not match him.

The Hidden Realm!

This time, the advantages and strengths of his Hidden Realm could reflect.

As time passed little by little, the further they went up, the fewer the people. After two hours, the people who kept going were only less than one hundred! And most of them walked with extreme difficulty!

However, there were still a few distinctive ones. Among them, the person at the most front was a man in brocade clothes who took the lead from the very beginning and pulled away from the others for dozens of meters. At the very start, everyone thought that he would slow down later. But to everyone’s surprise, even now he still walked exceedingly fast!

Not far behind the man in brocade clothes, followed a man in a splendid robe and a man with a long knife on his waist.

The two men were about dozens of meters from the man in brocade clothes. Both of their eyes were fixed on the man in brocade clothes in the distance. Though they were a little slower than before, they still walked steadily without feeling tired.

Behind the two men, there were less than a hundred people left, most of whom were exhausted and walked in extreme difficulty.

As for Ye Xuan, he was still not too fast or too slow. The pressure on him really didn’t make any difference. After a certain distance, the pressure on him was not getting stronger. On the contrary, he nearly could not feel it now!

As for why he didn’t go fast, he had never thought about it. He just simply walked. It was okay for him to go fast or slow, as long as he could walk to the end.

In short, he didn’t choose his speed deliberately. He walked in whatever way he liked!

After an hour, those people who were still walking on the path were left less than forty people. The leading man had reached the endpoint already, followed by the man in a splendid robe and then the man wearing a long knife.

When Ye Xuan was about to reach the end, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a wooden stake next to the path. A man was nailed on the stake. From the appearance, he was about twenty years old. The man was in miserable. His body had no hands, no feet, or even no eyes where there were only two empty black holes.

Needless to say, he must also be a student of Canglan College. Moreover, judging from the body, it might not be long after he died.

Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed. It went without saying that Canglan College and Cangmu College should have some blood feuds.

No longer lingering there, Ye Xuan quickly came to an end.

When forty-two people reached the end, a red-crowned crane flew above the heads of the crowd. Above the red-crowned crane, Cang Zhong looked down at the crowd. Finally, his eyes fell on Ye Xuan. When he saw Ye Xuan, his eyes became ice cold.

Seeing his eyes, Ye Xuan’s brows wrinkled because he had already felt the hostility of the other.

What he didn’t understand was that he hadn’t had any problems with the other, and he even hadn’t even seen him before. Why did the other have enmity against him?

“You, come out!”

On the back of the red-crowned crane, Cang Zhong looked down upon Ye Xuan. His voice was ice cold, and there was no trace of affection.

Ye Xuan glanced at Cang Zhong and then walked out of the crowd.

Cang Zhong overlooked Ye Xuan, “The minimum enrollment requirement of Cangmu College is that the candidate should have achieved at least the Qi Harnessing Realm before 18. But you have not achieved the Qi Harnessing Realm, right?”

“He hasn’t achieved the Qi Harnessing Realm!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the spot was astounded. Almost immediately, all eyes were on Ye Xuan.

It should be known that the minimum enrollment requirement of Cangmu College was that the student should achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm before 18. However, Ye Xuan hadn’t reached the Qi Harnessing Realm. If considered it more seriously, it was deceiving.

Ye Xuan said in a low voice, “Elder Cang, even if I haven’t reached the Qi Harnessing Realm, I have passed the first stage! I…”

“So what?”

On the back of the red-crowned crane, Cang Zhong announced emotionlessly, “The rule of Cangmu College is that one shouldn’t participate in the assessment if one cannot achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm before 18. Hence, even if you have passed the first stage, it doesn’t make any sense. So, I announced that you have no qualification for the assessment. According to the rules, you should be heavily beaten up for a hundred times with a stick and be kicked down the Cangshan Mountain immediately.”

As Cang Zhong’s voice fell, two strong persons in the Ascending Realm already came up to Ye Xuan.

Just then, Ye Xuan abruptly looked straight at Cang Zhong, “Elder Cang, you and I have not seen each other before. But you are against me like this the first time you and I meet. Have I offended you before?”

He was not stupid so he naturally knew that the elder before was against him personally!

Cang Zhong’s mouth corners showed a hint of sarcasm. “Against you? Hum, if you knew it would happen, why did you still participate in this assessment?”

Cang Zhong!

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed because he suddenly recalled one thing. At the banquet last night, he hit a man named Cang Qi. Now when he looked closely he found that there was a printed badge on the chest of Elder Cang Zhong, and Cang Qi had the same one at the same place.

This kind of badge was generally a family badge and it was also a symbol of status. Undoubtedly, the person before him must be an elder of Cang Qi!

Ye Xuan was going to speak. But a man stood up out of the blue. “Ye Xuan, you are hopelessly stupid!”

Ye Xuan turned to glance at the man who looked quite familiar. Soon, he remembered. This person was the man who stood up and volunteered to back up Mo Suiqing in the banquet before, and his name was Li Feng.

Li Feng sneered. “Do you think that you can treat anyone in the way you please when you have National Warrior An backing you up?” “Today, let me show you the power of us!”

With this, he slightly saluted at Cang Zhong who was in the air, “Elder Cang, this person has not yet achieved the Qi Harnessing Realm, but he still came to the assessment. Obviously, this move of him proved that he didn’t care about Cangmu College. To regain the prestige of the college, please give him severe punishment, Elder Cang.”

As Li Feng’s voice fell, there were seven or eight men stood out beside Ye Xuan. They gave a deep salute and said with one voice, “Please punish this person severely, Elder Cang!”

Cang Zhong smiled coldly. “Right, I almost forgot this. Someone come. Drag this person down and blow him to death with sticks. He should be punished as a warning to others.”

The two strong persons in the Ascending Realm were about to take their moves, but Ye Xuan suddenly took out a jade pendant. He stared right at Cang Zhong. “This is National Warrior An’s jade pendant. She introduced me to Cangmu College!”

Hearing what he said, all the people there were shocked!

National Warrior An introduced him!

This carried a large weight!

Even the man in brocade clothes who rushed forward in front of others all the way in previous couldn’t help but give Ye Xuan a sidelong sidewise glance, his eyes were full of curiosity.

National Warrior An was the idol of all the young generation in Jiang Country!

In the air, Cang Zhong’s face was also extremely ugly because he did not think that Ye Xuan actually had a jade pendant of An Lanxiu.

He must show his respect to National Warrior An!

Seeing Cang Zhong fell in silence, Li Feng felt anxious in his heart. Without thinking, he angrily pointed at Ye Xuan, “How dare you! You little jerk in the Qi Varying Realm, how is it possible that you can get National Warrior An’s recommendation? This jade pendant must be a fake one. You…”

Right then, Ye Xuan disappeared all in a sudden. When he was seen again, he was already before Li Feng. In the eyes of the crowds, Ye Xuan slapped Li Feng in the face. “You take too much fucking bullshit…”

“Pa!”

Li Feng’s whole body was directly blown away by his slap.

Everybody was stunned.
