Chapter 139. The rally of geniuses, Jian Chen‘s talent!
Mingyue Shu didn’t have any comments for what this young man had said.
Although Mingyue Shu was from the Azure Region, which was ranked outside the top one hundred in the South Continent, the Mingyue Family was one of the top ten forces in the Azure Region. So she never lacked suitors.
When this young man approached her initially, she had immediately seen through his intent.
But this young man came from the Saint Region and knew more information about the academy than the students who came from Azure Region, this was also the reason why Mingyue Shu and Jian Chen had let him stay next to them.
“Heihei! For us, to break the record is just a fantasy. No matter how decadent the Middle Saint Academy is, it’s still one of the top five academies in the Southern Continent. For thousands of years, no one knows how many geniuses this stone tablet has recorded.”
The young man looked at the crowd and shook his head slightly as if he thought those present couldn’t break the record.
Mingyue Shu slightly nodded and didn’t refute his view, but she couldn’t help sigh in her mind when she thought of Xuan Yi’s figure.
“That’s not certain, maybe he…!”
Before she could think further, the wind and clouds fiercely changed above the white jade stairs. With a flash of light, the Dean and thirty-six teachers appeared.
The oppressing sensation from these King Realm experts enveloped the spot in an instant and those noisy Students who gathered at the foot of the mountain immediately became silent.
“I am the Dean of this Academy! Kids, I welcome you to the Middle Saint Academy. You should already know the rules of the test. Now, I announce that… the test begins!”
Boom!
Hearing this, how could those students hide their excitement? they immediately rushed towards the white jade stairs like a swarm of bees.
The rules were very simple, the faster the climb, the higher the score! The Middle Saint Academy would only accept the top 1000!
The width of the white jade stairs was not too wide, but it unexpectedly accommodated all the people when tens of thousands of students were swarming in.
With the first step, every student had realized that the white jade stairs were not as simple as they looked. The scene in front of their eyes changed and a lot of illusions appeared.
Suddenly, a student cried out. After he finally stopped crying, the illusion in front of his eyes also disappeared. But when he looked around, he found that many students had already left him behind, as well as some students with glazed expressions frozen behind him.
He dared not delay and hurriedly stepped to the next layer. But as expected, he fell into an endless illusion again with a glazed expression.
At the top end of the white jade stairs was a huge square where the Dean and thirty-six instructors were sitting on the platform and commented on these students who were climbing the stairs.
“Look at that student, He runs so fast! Besides, there is a faint cyan aureole around him, I think he has awakened the Wind-Spirit-Body.”
“He is not bad, but the other is stronger. You look at this one, there is a light of fire hidden in his eyes, he only took a few breaths to overcome each step, moreover, he is now far ahead of others!”
“Wow! That rebellious girl from Yu Family also took part in the test. Look at her indifferent attitude, but her speed is not slow at all, it’s so fast! She is worthy of her family’s reputation!”
All the instructors were familiar with each other. At this time, they were talking and laughing, marking the disciples they liked in mind.
Middle Saint Academy was famous for its open and free style of study. After the students passed the white jade stairs, the next step was for the instructors to choose their favored students. If there was no accident, the relation between them would be basically nailed. Of course, students also had the right to choose their teachers.
Therefore, if someone was not satisfied with their instructor, they could also choose another instructor. As long as this instructor was willing to accept this student, no one could say anything.
On the white jade stairs, some students passed the current layer and sobered from the previous illusory scene. However, when they looked around, they were startled.
In the front, several figures were running as swiftly as hares.
One of these figures seemed to be surrounded by the wind, he was so light-footed, he only spent a few breaths on each step, he then went to the next layer again.
The other was even stronger. With the light of a fire, he swiftly ran ahead and left a hot footprint on each step.
Even a man would sound a thunderclap every step he went forward and no one dared to come within three meters of him.
But among these figures, there was an indifferent girl. She walked on the stairs as if she was dawdling in her back garden. But for some layers, she even needed less a breath of time to cross. This put huge pressure on every student.
After hundreds of breaths of time, several geniuses appeared on the horizon of these instructors, they successfully passed the last layer. However, there were many students still lingering at the twentieth to thirtieth layer at the same time.
Boom! Boom!
The stone tablet shook, and a name list appeared. The same as before, it shone a light and asked the several geniuses to leave their names on it.
That indifferent girl went forward and wrote down her name: Yu Linglong! 132 breaths!
The instructors sighed regretfully.
Because of Yu Linglong’s indifference, although her name was good enough to be recorded on the stone tablet, she still didn’t break the record of the previous rank 1!
Plus the blank name that Xuan Yi occupied, Yu Linglong, who should have had a higher rank, could only rank third now!
“Huh!”
Yu Linglong glanced at the current second, and then looked at the blank name of No.1. She wrinkled her nose and humphed with a discontented expression!
Another one hundred breaths of time passed and the number of students who climbed the mountaintop increased. There were close to a thousand of them.
At this time, Jian Chen had passed the 99th layer, and one of his feet had stepped on the last step.
In front of his eyes, an illusory figure was releasing an endless and heavy pressure on him.
Crunch!
Jian Chen’s leg trembled and his forehead was immediately filled with perspiration.
This figure gave Jian Chen a huge pressure, and even let him tremble all over, his legs were unsteady as if he was about to fall at any time!
At this time, as long as Jian Chen raised a thought of retreat, this kind of pressure would disappear in a blink of an eye, so that Jian Chen could pass the last layer but this also meant, his score of this layer would be invalid!
Above the stairs, all of the instructors’ eyes locked on Jian Chen.
One of them sighed, “I think he will fail, what a pity.”
“The longer he’s stuck on this layer, the lower his score gets!!”
“He’s a swordsman. Have you ever seen any of them retreat? If he can pass this layer, his future is destined to be bright!”
The speaker was an instructor of the Sword Dao. He had black hair and was well-known in Middle Saint Academy, he had taught a lot of geniuses in the Sword Dao. At this moment when he saw Jian Chen who was surrounded by endless Sword Intent, his eyes brightened, but there was pity within them.
If this kid could pass this pressure, he must accept him!
“I can’t give up!”
Jian Chen clenched his teeth and his head felt a little dizzy, he lifted his head in difficulty and looked forward. In the haze, he saw Xuan Yi who was sitting in the position of the instructors.
Xuan Yi also cast his gaze at him.
Boom!
The gaze from Xuan Yi was just like a bright light that thundered into Jian Chen’s dazed heart, dispelling all of the darkness in his mind.
The originally dim eyes of Jian Chen immediately lit up again!
Boom!
The Sword Intent burst forth, and Jian Chen smoothly took the last step. At this time, his eyes shone a vigorous light again, and he finally finished the test of the white jade stairs.
“Very good!”
In the instructor camp, that middle-aged man with black hair suddenly stood up with a twinkle in his eye.
He was a seasoned instructor of the Sword Dao and had taught a lot of great geniuses.
He had always only accepted students who had great talent in the Sword Dao. At first, he had given up hope when he saw Jian Chen’s dim eyes. But beyond his expectation, the originally scattered Sword Core of Jian Chen congealed again in an instant, Jian Chen got an unexpected score!
This instructor was overjoyed in his heart, and blurted out, “This kid’s attainment in the Sword Dao is very outstanding, he should become my disciple!”
