Hu Jia

"Brother Zhuo, you must be joking!

I don't have such confidence. After all, even Brother Zhuowen can't guarantee that he will be able to enter Jia Shen Academy. Naturally, I can't guarantee it either, "Mo Lingtian said with a smile.

"We only need to do our best. Whether or not we can enter the academy isn't something we can do just because we want to." After Zhuowen finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and entered a meditative state.

Mo Lingtian's eyes flickered. Now, he couldn't see through Zhuowen. Whether it was the rumor about the Qing Xuan Empire's Zhuowen that the Flame Emperor had mentioned, or the fact that Zhuowen had chopped off one of Yuansheng's arms on the deck of the Boundless Sailboat, or the shattering of the blood crystal during Zhuowen's test.

All of these revealed that the young man in front of him wasn't simple and was even more mysterious. However, it was precisely because of Zhuowen's mysteriousness that made Mo Lingtian want to remove the fog that was covering Zhuowen's body and see the truth.

Jia Nan and Gatha sat silently beside Zhuowen and also sat cross-legged on the ground. The two of them were now following Zhuowen's lead. Regardless of whether it was Zhuowen's strength or Zhuowen's attitude towards them, they felt at ease and even a little dependent on him.

Time flew by like a white steed flitting by a crack. Four days passed very quickly. During these four days, the testing square was filled with a sea of people. There was an endless stream of young warriors who came to take the test. So much so that the huge square almost couldn't fit them all.

Although there were more and more warriors who came to take the test, there were fewer and fewer warriors who could pass. Most of them were people who took advantage of the situation.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the clouds in the morning, a cool morning breeze blew past, bringing a refreshing feeling.

The seven days of foundational testing had finally come to an end. The originally noisy testing plaza had finally become much quieter than before.

Those warriors who didn't pass the test were basically brought out of the main city by the people of Divine Academy. They were prepared to send them back. Even if those warriors who didn't pass were unwilling, it was useless. Under the strict orders of Divine Academy, they could only leave the main city unwillingly.

In the open space, Zhuowen and the other cultivators opened their eyes one after another, revealing a wisp of light. They slowly stood up, and then their gazes all fell on the other side of the square, where a figure was slowly walking over.

"Senior Cheng Dong!" Everyone stared at this figure excitedly. This person was the gentle-looking Cheng Dong.

Everyone knew that Cheng Dong's arrival was very likely to bring them to participate in the second stage of the test, so everyone's eyes were filled with hope.

The corners of Cheng Dong's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "There are more than ten thousand of you here. Come with me!

I'll bring you to the location of the second stage of the test. There are two other batches of geniuses waiting there. "

"Two other batches?" Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

It seemed that this batch of warriors wasn't the only batch participating in the test. There were actually two batches of people. One batch had close to ten thousand people. Then wouldn't three batches of people be thirty thousand? This was a terrifying number!

"You don't have to be so puzzled. There isn't only one testing plaza. There are two other testing plazas in the main city. It's just that I'm in charge of this one."

Cheng Dong explained with a faint smile. Only then did everyone feel relieved. Back then, they were directly brought to this plaza by Cheng Dong. They hadn't wandered around the main city, so they naturally didn't know that there were two other testing plazas in the main city.

"Now, you can summon those who are related to you and follow me to the location of the second stage of the test."

After Cheng Dong finished speaking, the nearly ten thousand warriors in the open space brought their respective people to their sides. The Flame Emperor, Ziyang Tianzun, and the rest also came to the side of Zhuowen, Mo Lingtian, and the other geniuses from the Yanxuan Empire.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Everyone brought their respective people. Nearly ten thousand people followed behind Cheng Dong in a mighty manner.

"I wonder what the second stage of the test will be like?" Jia Nan clenched his fists and said excitedly.

Not only Jia Nan, but the expressions of the nearly ten thousand people were similar. Whether they were snakes or dragons, whether they could enter the Outer Yard depended on the remaining two stages of the test.

However, Zui Qingfeng was a little worried. "This time, there are peerless geniuses from the Xuanzun Realm, the Sovereign Realm, the Golden Sovereign Realm, and even the Heavenly Sovereign Realm participating in the test. If they are all tested together, wouldn't those with lower cultivation be at a disadvantage?"

As soon as he said that, Zhuowen, Mo Lingtian, and the rest nodded their heads. Zui Qingfeng was right. The cultivation of these geniuses was different. It would be fine if they met those with lower cultivation, but if they met those with higher cultivation, it would be disastrous.

The Flame Emperor frowned and shook his head. "I'm not sure, but the Divine Academy doesn't focus on cultivation. Instead, they focus on talent and potential. I don't think their test will be unfair."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon, the nearly ten thousand people under Cheng Dong's lead arrived at a huge cliff. The cliff was nearly ten thousand feet high and its surface was as smooth as a mirror.

This huge cliff was located in the northwest region of the main city. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a large open space. At this moment, there was already a group of figures standing on the open space. This group of figures was faintly divided into two groups. If one were to count them carefully, there were at least twenty thousand of them.

This group of figures should be the geniuses that Cheng Dong had mentioned. They should be the geniuses that had been selected from the other two test grounds in the main city.

The sound of something breaking through the air resounded, attracting the attention of the nearly twenty thousand cultivators on the open space. Soon after, Cheng Dong led the nearly ten thousand people behind him and landed in an open space in the open space.

"Cheng Dong!

You're a little late. We've been waiting here for half an incense stick's time. "

As soon as Cheng Dong landed, a beautiful figure slowly walked over from one of the groups in the open space and spoke in a somewhat reproachful tone.

This beautiful figure was a woman dressed in sexy clothes. Her slender waist swayed gently, and as she walked, there was a seductive and enchanting feeling. Her plump breasts were slightly opened, revealing an alluring curve.

Many people in the open space looked at the enchanting woman who was walking over, their eyes filled with intoxication. Although the woman in front of them was not a peerless beauty, she was definitely worth looking at, especially the faintly discernible charm that she revealed, which was always able to firmly attract everyone's attention.

This woman knew how to display her charm. It could be said that she was definitely a stunner.

Seeing the enchanting woman walking over, Cheng Dong's gaze froze, and he immediately said gloomily: "Hu Jia!

There's still half an incense stick of time before the second stage of the test begins.

You guys came so early, didn't you have to wait?

Now you're blaming me for being late. "

"Humph!"

If you're late, then you're late. Why are you still looking for excuses?

"Hu Jia curled her lips, her rosy cherry lips pouting. It actually had a different kind of seduction, leaving many geniuses behind Cheng Dong dumbstruck with amazement.

But Cheng Dong was somewhat speechless. But Hu Jia was this kind of personality, so Cheng Dong did not care about this either. Instead, his gaze was placed on the open space. Hu Jia's group said, "Looking at your appearance, your mood is pretty good. Could it be that the testing plaza you guys are in has a few good seedlings?"

The corners of Hu Jia's mouth curled up slightly, both eyes curved into crescent moons, and he said, "There are indeed a few pretty good seedlings. The top genius disciples of the three major sects outside all came to the testing plaza that I'm in to take the test. Especially the Myriad Sword Sect's monstrous Palm Tree, he actually reached the initial-stage Empyrean Realm, and his age is merely 78 years old."

"There's also Cold Moon Palace's Xi Que and Yellow Mystic Sect's Huang Xuan, both at the peak of the Golden Exalt Realm. These three people are considered the strongest in my group."

"Initial-stage Empyrean Realm?"

Cheng Dong's face slightly stiffened. He also did not expect that in the testing plaza where Hu Jia was, there would actually be a peerless monster in the early stage of the Empyrean Realm.

"Looks like your group is comparable to Qi Ji's group?" Cheng Dong's gaze landed on another group of people without leaving a trace.

The leader of that group of people had delicate features, slender limbs, and carried an ancient sword on his back. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and stood there like a sharp sword. This person was the person in charge of the other plaza, Qi Ji.

"Sword cultivator?"

Zhuowen, who was standing in the middle of the group, focused his gaze on Qi Ji, who was standing on the other side of the open space without saying a word.

The aura on Qi Ji's body was very sharp, his entire person was like an unsheathed sharp sword. He had seen this aura from Jian Mu in the Desolate Ancient City, but Qi Ji's sharp aura was completely inferior to Jian Mu's.

A person was like a sword, and a sword was like a person. His entire body emitted a sharp sword-like aura. This was a realm that only sword cultivators could reach.

On the other hand, sword cultivators were good at attacking. They were able to defeat the strong as the weak and challenge the strong. Although they were not as terrifying as devil cultivators, they were much stronger than ordinary warriors.

This Qi Ji's aura was even stronger than Hu Jia and Cheng Dong's. His strength was probably even above Cheng Dong and Hu Jia's.

Hu Jia curled his lips and said somewhat unhappily, "It can only be said that Qi Ji's luck is too good. The Blue Whale Holy Dynasty's Crown Prince Yun Zhongyang and the Alkaid Holy Dynasty's Yuan Zhao and Yuan Kong, these three monstrous geniuses, have all gone to the testing plaza where he is."

Cheng Dong nodded, a trace of gloominess in his eyes. Among the two groups of people that Qi Ji and Hu Jia were in charge of, there were peerless geniuses. Only the plaza that he was in charge of didn't have a single one. The strongest ones were the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty's Blue Smoke and Burning Flame Holy Dynasty's Fen Ji, who were both in the late stage of Golden Venerable Realm.

It could be said that the quality of the people he was in charge of was far inferior to the geniuses that Hu Jia and Qi Ji were in charge of. Thinking of this, the corner of Cheng Dong's mouth was filled with a bitter smile.

"Cheng Dong!

Among the people you're in charge of, there should also be peerless geniuses, right?

Introduce them to me. "

Hu Jia's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and immediately landed on the people behind Cheng Dong, and asked curiously.

Qi Ji, who was standing on the other side of the open space, also cast his gaze towards Cheng Dong. He was also somewhat curious about the lineup of people that Cheng Dong was in charge of, and whether or not they could surpass the quality of his group.

Cheng Dong's face stiffened, his eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Let's be honest!

The quality of the people I'm in charge of is completely incomparable to you and Qi Ji. "

"In the group I'm in charge of, the strongest and most talented should be Blue Smoke of the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty and Fen Ji of the Burning Flame Holy Dynasty. These two people's cultivations are in the late stage of Golden Venerable Realm."
