The academy.
Inside Lei Meng Sha's private courtyard.
Bai Li Dong Jun was still lying in the house, sleeping soundly. The ten-hour long entrance exam had truly exhausted him, and no matter how much Lei Meng Sha called him from outside, he wouldn't wake up.
Xiao Ru Feng came to the courtyard and saw Lei Meng Sha sitting outside, he asked in a low voice, "He's still not awake?"
"He woke up a few times, but then fell asleep like a pig again."
Lei Meng Sha shrugged and said, "It's just an initial test, is it necessary to be like this?"
"The most important thing in the initial test is to observe your opponent..."
Xiao Ru Feng said faintly, "The martial arts exam sign-up sheet will be sent over soon, and we will know who his opponent is."
"Who is it?"
Bai Li Dong Jun pushed open the door and came out.
"Who do you hope it is? Or who do you not hope it is?"
Xiao Ru Feng asked.
"I don't want to fight Ye Ding Zhi..."
Bai Li Dong Jun thought for a moment: "And there's that Zhu Ge Yun who knows Qi Men Dun Jia. This guy is pretty darn shady..."
"Seems like you've seriously observed your opponents..."
Xiao Ru Feng laughed, "Luo Xuan thinks that these two candidates are the hardest to deal with."
"The others aren't easy to deal with either."
Bai Li Dong Jun shook his head and asked, "How exactly does the martial arts exam work?"
"In literature, there is no first, in martial arts, there is no second. The martial arts exam is the most direct way to compete. A total of 32 of you will fight one-on-one, judged by three experts from the academy. The top 16 will advance to the final exam..."
Lei Meng Sha explained, "This is the simplest part of the academy's entrance exam, and it's also the hardest to manipulate. Old Seven, who did the master decide to be the judge this time?"
"You, Liu Yue..."
Xiao Ru Feng turned around, watching as the courtyard door was slowly pushed open, "One more possibility might be Little Brother Ye..."
"Little Brother Ye?"
Lei Meng Sha subconsciously rubbed his knees upon hearing Ye Feng's name...
He turned to see Bai Li Dong Jun slowly pulling out a stack of silver notes from his bosom, "Big Brother Lei, are you going to pull some strings again?"
"Scram!"
Bai Li Dong Jun: "(⊙x⊙)"
……………………
Tianqi City, a certain inn.
Wang Yi Xing had changed into a clean Daoist robe. As he walked out of the room, he still had a lazy posture, but when he saw the person sitting in the pavilion ahead, he immediately revealed a fawning smile, "Brother Ye, we meet again."
"Zhao Yu Jia?"
Ye Feng raised his sword brows, trying to trigger the system again, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
！！！
"No, no..."
Wang Yi Xing immediately widened his eyes and stammered, "I just changed my name to participate in the academy's entrance exam, the academy wouldn't take lives, would they?"
"Hm?"
Ye Feng saw that the system had no reaction, so he could basically be sure it was passively triggered.
"It wouldn't."
Ye Feng coughed lightly, smiling, "Since you have no unfulfilled wishes, then Ye shall take his leave."
With that, Ye Feng got up and left.
Seeing Ye Feng's graceful departing back, Wang Yi Xing stood there for a long time, confused, "Could it be that Brother Ye is going to ask for a duel with Master Li?"
"He knows he has the risk of falling, so he specially came to find me, this old friend..."
"See if he can do something for me in the end?"
"Hm?"
"That's it!"
"It must be!"
"To think that in Brother Ye's heart, I, Wang Yi Xing, already have such a status!"
The more Wang Yi Xing thought about it, the more he felt this must be the case.
Fortunately, Ye Feng didn't deploy his divine senses, otherwise, there was a real chance of causing a death!
【Ding, Wish Collection triggered. Wang Yi Xing doesn't want you to ask for a duel with Li Chang Sheng, Wish Value: 300.】
"Whoa?"
"Why would I ask for a duel with Li Chang Sheng?"
Returning to Feng Liu Men, Ye Feng suddenly received a prompt from the system and was utterly dumbfounded.
It's true he's at the Half-Step Shen You stage, but Li Chang Sheng is a bona fide Shen You Xuan Jing, and even a Da Shen You...
While asking for a duel wouldn't pose any danger to his life, Ye Feng has to say that he didn't have a masochistic tendency!
"Who on earth has so many strange and bizarre ideas?"
Ye Feng shook his head.
【Ding, Host has no intention of asking for a duel, received Wish Value 300.】
"Even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small..."
Ye Feng sighed lightly. The advantage of passive triggering is that he doesn't have to worry about it.
The disadvantage is that worrying won't do any good.
"Brother Ye."
As soon as he returned to Feng Liu Men, Liu Yue came forward, "Are you still interested in being an examiner for the upcoming martial arts exam?"
"Hm?"
Ye Feng raised his sword brows and said, "Just so happens, I'd like to take on a junior sister."
"Take on a junior sister?"
Liu Yue was first taken aback, then her pupils widened, and she curiously asked, "May I ask what Brother Ye's sect is..."
"Qing Bei Academy!"
Liu Yue: "？？？!"
…………………
The academy's second round exam location was Jin Wu Field.
This was normally where the Jin Wu Guards practiced, but during the academy's entrance exam days, even the Jin Wu Guards had to vacate this place, for their martial arts exam.
After all, besides Jin Wu Schoolyard, there were very few places in the entire Tianqi City that could accommodate their martial arts exam.
There was still an hour until the official start, and the schoolyard was already filled with guards.
On the judging platform.
Ye Feng was still seated in the center, with Liu Yue and Ling Su wearing hoods on either side, while Lei Meng Sha was leading Bai Li Dong Jun slowly onto the stage.
"Hey, Big Brother Lei, who do you think will shock everyone here in the martial arts exam?"
Bai Li Dong Jun watched the candidates warming up, curious and asked, "That Zhu Ge Yun, or Ye Ding Zhi?"
"Are you not among the choices?"
Lei Meng Sha asked seriously.
Hearing this.
Bai Li Dong Jun's eyes lit up, he was secretly delighted. His own brother thought highly of him!
"Hm? So, me, Zhu Ge Yun, and Ye Ding Zhi, who will shock everyone?"
"I estimate..."
Lei Meng Sha grinned, pointing a finger at the judging platform, "It has to be Little Brother Ye!"
Bai Li Dong Jun: "(⊙▽⊙)?!"
"Don't doubt it, believe it."
Lei Meng Sha patted Bai Li Dong Jun's shoulder, leaped up, and landed firmly on the judging platform. He bowed to Ye Feng and Liu Yue, saying, "You two are really early..."
"Brother Ye said to start early, finish early..."
Liu Yue glanced at Lei Meng Sha, calmly saying, "After it's over, he's treating us to Wan Hua Lou."
！！！
Lei Meng Sha's feet instantly went weak, almost kneeling before Ye Feng.
【Ding, Wish Collection triggered, Lei Meng Sha intensely dislikes Wan Hua Lou, please show mercy, Wish Value: 500.】
"Whoa?"
"This is possible?!"
Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
"What are you talking about?"
Ye Feng raised his sword brows, looking righteous and indignant, "With that silver, it would be better to buy candied hawthorn for my little sister Han Yi..."
"Yes, yes."
Lei Meng Sha nodded repeatedly, "My Little Brother Ye is not someone who would be infatuated with beauty!"
【Ding, Lei Meng Sha is overjoyed, received Wish Value 500.】
"Ahem, ahem."
Ye Feng coughed twice and said seriously, "Old Lei, I am."
！！！
Lei Meng Sha's pupils contracted slightly, feeling something wasn't quite right. But thinking back to the situation during the initial test, he revealed a fawning smile, "Little Brother Ye, don't worry, we'll keep an eye on things when that Yin Luo Xia gets on stage!"
