Translator: 549690339
After the victory feast, Wang Yuhao ordered Bu Fan to re-arrange the accommodations for Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, treating them as VIPs.
Moreover, announcements were posted throughout the city, including details about the recruitment of disciples for the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, such as the time, location, and rules.
Also, in the form of a booklet, it was sent to all the towns and mountain villages within the jurisdiction of East Field County.
Within a few days, the news of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy’s disciple recruitment had spread throughout East Field County, causing a great stir.
The Flying Spirit Martial Academy was seen as a sacred place for martial arts training by the martial artists and commoners of the Spirit Martial Prefecture, everyone aspired to go there.
Unfortunately, such a sacred place held recruitment examinations once every five years in the border counties, and there were age and innate talent limitations, so most people had no chance to enter, so they had to choose to join the army or other paths.
Now, with the once-in-five-years examination starting, it inevitably stirred the hearts of everyone.
“Yi, I absolutely cannot let you follow my footsteps and be stuck in the True Qi Realm for the rest of your life, unable to see the path ahead. No matter what, I will help you enter the Flying Spirit Martial Academy.”
On the way to East Field City, a bearded martial artist gazed at the rising sun on the horizon with hope in his eyes.
Behind him followed a young boy.
The young boy had bright eyes and a determined expression. His legs were each tied with a heavy sandbag, and his back was carrying a heavy bundle. Every step he took left a deep imprint on the road.
Woodstone Village, a poor and backward village, was located deep in the mountains. It had always been self-sufficient and had little contact with the outside world.
But today, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village to see off a young boy dressed in animal skin.
“Little Gu Yuan, be careful on the journey, don’t meddle in other people’s affairs, and don’t overexert yourself. The most important thing is to protect yourself.” The villagers urged him with heartfelt affection for the child who had grown up eating from different families.
“My child, don’t force yourself. If you can’t enter the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, you must come back. Woodstone Village will always be your home.” An old man, leaning on a cane, said in an ancient voice.
“Village Chief Grandpa, it’s the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, not the Spirit Flying Martial Academy.” The young boy, Gu Yuan, dressed in animal skin, corrected him.
“Oh, so it’s the Spirit Flying Martial Academy. I guess I’m really old now. Back in my day…”
“Village Chief Grandpa, uncles, and aunties, I’m leaving!”
Gu Yuan waved his hand and quickly left, his figure slowly disappearing from everyone’s view.
“This damned kid, he runs really fast.”
The old man shook his head helplessly, his vicissitudes-filled eyes momentarily shining, then sighing deeply.
Those who wanted to leave could not be stopped, only after going out to experience difficulties and setbacks would they remember the good of their small village.
In East Field City.
Once a white-haired old man who had lost an arm in a battle with demon beasts outside the city, he now looked at the two teenagers in front of him and said solemnly, “You two were born in East Field and have been protected by the East Field Army.
Originally, I wanted to wait for a few more years before allowing you to join the East Field Army and continue to garrison the East Field Giant City.
However, after the last battle, I have a new understanding. To better protect the people of East Field County and guard the East Field Giant City, we need extraordinary martial strength. If our strength is too weak, we can’t even protect ourselves…
You two, go take the examination for the Flying Spirit Martial Academy!”
At the same time, the muscular man whom Lu Yun and Xiao Chen had saved outside the city also instructed his own child, “If you can’t pass the examination and become a disciple of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, you’re not my seed. You’re on your own!”
Time flowed like water, passing in a blink of an eye.
Half a month later.
East Field Giant City.
The sun had risen, and the morning light squeezed through the gaps in the windows, leaving a white trace on the ground.
Lu Yun finished his daily morning routine and opened his panel with a thought.

Compared to half a month ago, Lu Yun’s strength had improved considerably, especially his Pure Yang aggressive aura, which had undergone four refinements and was now even more powerful.
A smile flickered across his lips as he stood up.
As he opened the door, he saw Xiao Chen standing outside with his hands clasping his sword.
“Good morning.”
Lu Yun greeted him with a smile.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, then moved, leaving an afterimage in place.
With a “whoosh,” Lu Yun turned into a ray of golden light and quickly followed.
Orchid Square, located east of the East Field Giant City, covered a vast area, with a distance of 300 feet in both length and width, and had always been one of the conscription venues.
Today, however, it was not the time for conscription, yet many people had gathered.
Among them, the number of young boys and girls was the largest, amounting to about ten thousand.
Most of the other onlookers were martial artists, with quite a few in the True Qi Realm.
Such a border fortress city was unlike Cloud Water County, which lacked powerful martial artists.
There were soldiers maintaining order outside the venue, and the captain in charge of maintaining order was Bu Fan..
