Time passed.
Since parting ways at the Wan Hua Tower, Ye Feng had never seen Lei Meng Sha again.
“Under normal circumstances, Lei Er should be able to kneel for three days…”
Luo Xuan, understanding the situation, couldn't help but feel pity for Lei Meng Sha: “However, this time, Heart Moon Elder Sister might have gotten really angry…”
“Even Mr. couldn’t persuade her.”
Liu Yue shook her head and smiled: “It's understandable, after all, Lei Er even hired a Sword Immortal to deal with himself…”
“You can only say Lei Er met the wrong people!”
The two exchanged words, chatting outside Ye Feng’s room.
Ye Feng: “…”
“Let's go!”
After finishing his cultivation, Ye Feng pushed open the door and stepped out.
His true qi had now been completely transformed, making him absolutely invincible within the Great 逍遥天境. Even a pseudo-half-step Shen You wouldn't be his match.
“Examiner Ye, please.”
Luo Xuan and Liu Yue gestured with a welcoming hand, and they followed Ye Feng onto the carriage.
Although it was the academy's grand exam, the location of the preliminary test was chosen at a very special place: the Thousand Gold Terrace, the first gambling house in Tianqi City.
According to Liu Yue.
The so-called exam, isn't much different from gambling.
The Wind Flow Gate was not far from the Thousand Gold Terrace, and the carriage arrived after a quarter of an hour.
Outside the Thousand Gold Terrace, it seemed like half of Tianqi City had come to watch, squeezing the area beyond capacity.
Three teams of the City Defense Camp were dispatched to barely clear a path for those actually participating in the exam.
“That's the Crown Prince of the He Jun Hou Mansion!”
“The Third Young Master of the Ministry of Rites Shang Shu?”
“The eldest son of General Luo City!”
“The Young Master of the Southern Ridge Xiao Family?”
“…”
Just the identities of these exam participants were worth dispatching ten more teams of the City Defense Camp…
But Liu Yue only requested three teams, and the City Defense Camp didn't dare to give more, because they knew that the real guard force was hidden within the crowd of spectators - those were the academy's people, the true protectors of this exam's safety.
“Move aside!”
Bai Li Dong Jun roared, riding his Fiery Wind Horse and rushing forward. He looked at the crowded people in front of him, feeling rather annoyed.
“Crazy! These are all people from the City Defense Camp, you want to go to jail without taking the exam?”
Lei Meng Sha, finally released, stepped onto the horse’s back, grabbed Bai Li Dong Jun's collar, and tossed him out.
Bai Li Dong Jun flew into the air, soaring over the sea of spectators…
In full view of everyone, he landed with a thud.
“Brother, we just met, there's no need to be so courteous, is there?”
A voice with a hint of laughter sounded.
“You're here to take the exam too?”
Bai Li Dong Jun asked as he got up.
“This one is Ye Ding Zhi, I'm indeed here to take the exam.”
Ye Ding Zhi smiled.
Bai Li Dong Jun extended his right finger, spat on it, then swiped it across Ye Ding Zhi's face. The skin under the dust was as white and tender as jade. He blew off the dust on his hand, smiled, and said: “With your face, you still dare to mock me?”
Ye Ding Zhi touched his face, smiled, and said: “Then let’s go in together, what's your name?”
“Even I don't know, I'm Bai Li Dong Jun.”
Bai Li Dong Jun turned and walked forward: “Look at them, they all know me.”
“I can see that, but the look in their eyes doesn’t seem particularly friendly.”
Ye Ding Zhi raised an eyebrow.
“That's because they're jealous of me!”
Bai Li Dong Jun handed his exam badge to the academy instructor and then walked into the Thousand Gold Terrace.
Ye Ding Zhi followed suit.
Inside the Thousand Gold Terrace, this year’s eighty candidates seemed to be mostly present, standing neatly in front of their exam desks.
The space allocated to each candidate in this preliminary test was surprisingly large. With the academy's examiners present, the spacious Thousand Gold Terrace barely had enough space.
“Little Brother Ye!”
Bai Li Dong Jun saw Ye Feng sitting on the high platform and shouted.
Accompanying Bai Li Dong Jun's shout, the eyes of countless candidates turned towards the high platform, with many showing a look of doubt and uncertainty.
“So young?”
“Isn't he the examiner?”
“Wasn't it said that the examiner is an instructor from the outer academy? It's said to be a Sword Immortal!”
“Looking at him, he's only a teenager, how could he be a Sword Immortal?”
“Rumors in the world, cannot be entirely believed!”
“…”
Ye Feng sat in the center, with Luo Xuan and the owner of the Thousand Gold Terrace, Butcher Da Ye, on his left.
On his right were Liu Yue and his young apprentice, Ling Su.
“Mr. Ye, all the candidates are present.”
Ling Su scanned the eighty candidates in the hall, then smiled at Ye Feng: “I wonder what Mr. Ye's exam questions are?”
“My exam questions are simple.”
Ye Feng hooked his finger, whispered a sentence in Ling Su's ear, and the latter instantly showed a strange expression: “Is this allowed?”
Then, she glanced at Liu Yue.
“Since Little Brother Ye is the examiner, naturally, we listen to him.”
Liu Yue bowed his head.
Ling Su nodded, took three steps forward: “Academy Grand Exam, Begin!”
“The Grand Exam question is…”
Ling Su paused, took a deep breath, and said: “Those who are good-looking can directly pass the preliminary test and participate in the final round.”
!!!
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, followed by a commotion.
【Ding! Received +100 emotion points from Liu Yue.】
【Ding! Received +100 emotion points from Luo Xuan.】
【Ding! Received from…】
Listening to the continuous system prompts, Ye Feng flashed a satisfied smile, signaling Ling Su to continue.
“Quiet!”
Ling Su shouted loudly, then said: “If you're not good-looking, then take the second exam: Beyond Literature and Martial Arts!”
“The so-called Beyond Literature and Martial Arts means demonstrating an amazing talent outside of literature and martial arts…”
Ling Su said clearly: “You have ten hours. Within these ten hours, if you feel ready to submit, raise your hand to tell us what you want to demonstrate, and we will send a corresponding examiner to test you.”
“If you pass the test, you will enter the final round!”
“Any objections?”
Another silence fell upon the hall.
“May I ask, what is considered good-looking?”
Ye Ding Zhi looked up at the high platform and raised his hand to ask.
“I think it's good-looking if I think it's good-looking…”
Ye Feng smiled faintly, pointed with his hand: “For example, that candidate, you can pass the preliminary test directly…”
Following Ye Feng’s finger, everyone looked towards her, subconsciously lowering their heads.
Since she entered the hall, countless eyes had been on her, but she returned the gaze every time. There was an indescribable domineering aura in her eyes, making those who were secretly looking at her feel a sense of self-deprecation…
Moreover, her attire was too unique.
She was wearing a long white robe, cleverly hiding her graceful figure…
And on the back of her white robe was a large character: “赌 (Gambling).”
“Me?”
The woman was taken aback.
“Yes.”
Ye Feng nodded: “I think you're good-looking, so you're through.”
!!!
【Ding! Received +100 emotion points from Yue Yao!】
【Ding! Received from…】
“What's your name?”
Ling Su asked.
“Yin Luo Xia.” Yue Yao replied using an alias.
Ling Su took a step forward: “Candidate Yin Luo Xia, passes the preliminary test.”
Hearing this, there was another uproar in the hall.
The Academy Grand Exam, could it really be so casual?!
“Brother Ye, Brother Ye, what about me?!”
Bai Li Dong Jun, who prided himself on being a handsome young man, was quite confident about his looks.
“Ahem.”
Ye Feng coughed twice and said solemnly: “Sorry, I'm not interested in men.”
!!!
Bai Li Dong Jun: “╥﹏╥...”
【Ding! Received +100 emotion points from Bai Li Dong Jun!】
【Ding! Received from…】
