After a whole night of operation, Jun Yu successfully pulled Ye Ding Zhi back on track.
At the same time, he also went to spy on the Qing King's movements.
He discovered that he was indeed colluding with Zhuo Qing.
He was even tricked by the Tai An Emperor into wanting to attack Bai Li Dong Jun and the others.
Unfortunately, none of this escaped Jun Yu's eyes.
On the other hand.
After scaring away Ji Ruo Feng, Jun Yu also went to see Bai Li Dong Jun on his behalf.
Little Bai Li was also very happy to see Jun Yu again.
He even asked if he had really been expelled from the academy.
“You guess!”
Jun Yu didn't answer directly, deliberately leaving him hanging.
He then said that he was looking for him to deliver a message from a certain old friend.
“That mysterious person who taught you the Falling Flowers and Flowing Water skill asked me to pass on the final essence of the skill to you. He also told you to know the real name of this skill, which is called Autumn Water Resolution. It is the skill that your master, Gu Chen, was proficient in!”
A few words solved the mystery that lingered in Bai Li Dong Jun's heart.
It turned out that the mysterious person was actually the leader of the Hundred Knowledge Hall.
No wonder he knew such a magical skill.
Therefore, he was also very confused, how did his senior brother know everything?
“You don't need to worry about that. The next assessment will be very troublesome, so listen carefully!”
Jun Yu didn't waste any words and passed on all the essence of Autumn Water Resolution to him.
Of course, he only learned it from Gu Chen.
Just as he had settled Gu Chen, the latter had already woken up.
He also told Jun Yu the complete set of formulas, which he passed on to Bai Li Dong Jun.
Little Bai Li was naturally grateful.
He memorized it firmly and studied it diligently to prepare for tomorrow's exam.
Jun Yu, having accomplished his mission, temporarily retreated behind the scenes.
He went to reunite with Yue Yao.
It was a way to relax before the big battle!
Yue Yao had been waiting for his return.
She was very excited about passing the preliminary exam.
She was even looking forward to what would happen when she took the final exam tomorrow.
“Don't worry, I'll take care of everything behind the scenes. There won't be any problems! Even if you really become a disciple of the academy, it's fine!”
He stroked her hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.
His confidence made Yue Yao curious.
She was even more excited about the upcoming exam.
***
The next day.
Those who passed the preliminary exam gathered at the academy for the final test.
This time, they were required to cooperate with each other and solve riddles set by the academy.
Besides the mysterious Zhu Ge Yun, Bai Li Dong Jun, Ye Ding Zhi, Wang Yi Xing, and Yue Yao formed a team of four.
After receiving the satchels containing the riddles, they quickly began their analysis and, overcoming obstacles, found the Xuan Wu Tower where the famous swords and artifacts were kept.
Unfortunately, the tower was heavily guarded, with a mechanism of coiling dragon silk that prevented them from getting close.
Just as Wang Yi Xing obediently lay down to crawl like a dog.
Bai Li Dong Jun and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Why go through all that trouble?
I'll just break through it with my sword.
Bai Li Dong Jun didn't have a sword, so he tricked Ye Ding Zhi into taking action.
He directly cut through the coiling dragon silk and successfully entered the tower.
However, they encountered a mysterious old man with double pupils who blocked their way and demanded to test their martial arts skills.
It became a tough battle.
They took turns fighting, using their most powerful techniques, but none of them were a match for the old man.
They were very helpless.
Just when they were about to give up, the old man praised their courage.
He told them that this assessment wasn't about winning.
The key was their teamwork, their ability to adapt to the enemy, and their determination.
Therefore, even if they didn't win, they could still pass.
However, just as the four were about to celebrate.
They were told that the exam wasn't over yet.
There were four satchels, and they needed to collect them all to pass the assessment.
You still need to continue working hard!
But no matter what, the four had passed one stage.
It was something to be happy about.
However, the other teams were not so lucky.
***
Tian Qi City.
Slaughter broke out.
Zhu Ge Yun, who was among the candidates, was causing trouble.
He actually killed others during the exam.
He killed the other three teams.
His goal was to disrupt the academy's grand exam.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Ye Ding Zhi, the one with the innate martial vein.
Now, things were almost complete.
Zhu Ge Yun revealed his true identity and was about to intercept Ye Ding Zhi and the others, who had just come out of a battle.
He was actually Wu Zuo Shi, one of the four envoys of Tian Wai Tian.
Having just left the Xuan Wu Tower, Bai Li Dong Jun and the others were exhausted.
Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by a fierce tiger.
Looking at the opponent in front of them, they were stunned.
“You're from Tian Wai Tian?”
“That's right. Ye Ding Zhi, come with us!”
The white-haired fairy who came with Wu Zuo Shi accidentally saw Yue Yao disguised as a man. He didn't want her to be exposed, so he had to act.
He pretended to be unable to defeat Yue Yao, deliberately distracting Wu Zuo Shi, trying to let them go.
But Wu Zuo Shi didn't fall for it.
He had to take Ye Ding Zhi today, no matter who stood in his way.
Wang Yi Xing, the only one who was not injured, stood in their way, but he was struggling.
“Go! I can't hold on anymore!”
“Can't hold on? Then die!”
Wu Zuo Shi, wearing a cloak and with a cold expression, gave his opponent no chance.
Just as he was about to strike a fatal blow.
A merciless sword suddenly forced him back dozens of feet.
He was forced to separate from Wang Yi Xing.
“Who is it?”
Wu Zuo Shi rarely showed a surprised expression.
He saw Jun Yu, the elegant and handsome Wuming Gongzi, descending from the sky and standing on his shoulders.
He pressed down with all his might, forcing Wu Zuo Shi's feet to sink into the ground several inches.
It was none other than Jun Yu!
