“Let’s go!”
As everyone stabilized their footing, the black boat slowly ascended, piercing through the clouds and flying towards the distance.
“All, 1 wonder how many of these people can become powerful warriors. Cloud Water County hasn’t seen a strong cultivator in the True Qi Realm or above for a long time, and the only one who appeared became an evil cultist.”
On a high platform in the central square, Jiang Hongji stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the gradually disappearing black boat.
“However, now that Cloud Water County doesn’t have a County Warden, my responsibilities are even greater…” Thinking of this, Jiang Hongji became worried: “If another beast tide breaks out in Cloud Dream Mountain, it’ll be troublesome. I’d better report to my superiors soon.”
Boom!
In midair, the black boat broke through the airwaves and sped forward, while the mountains and rivers below constantly receded.
On the boat, young boys and girls from various counties in Spirit Martial Prefecture kept to themselves, while also carefully sizing each other up.
Lu Yun noticed that there were always a few individuals who stood out in each group.
These people exuded an indescribable aura, and those around them seemed to play supporting roles to them.
“There are no fewer than ten people in the Meridian Passage Realm like Xiao Chen on this black boat. 1 just don’t know about their innate talents, whether any of them have a Level 6 talent,” Lu Yun whispered to himself, pondering.
Cloud Water County had so many people, yet the most outstanding ones had only a peak Level 5 innate talent, which showed how rare Level 6 talents were.
“Regardless, with the control panel, my cultivation speed and potential can’t be simply measured by innate talent, so 1 don’t need to care too much.”
After observing for a while, Lu Yun gave up and began to cultivate while sitting cross-legged.
After these days of cultivation, his Mix Origin Technique had advanced even further, and its progress had reached 57%.
At this rate, he figured it would take only two more months for the Mix Origin Technique to reach great accomplishment and advance to the late Enter Martial Realm.
Of course, that was the slowest progression speed.
If he used energy points, that time would be significantly reduced.
The black boat soon left Cloud Water County’s territory and flew rapidly towards the distance. As Lu Yun immersed himself in cultivation, time flew by.
Boom!
Suddenly, Lu Yun felt a jolt in his body and withdrew from his cultivation state.
“We have arrived at the Martial Academy, everyone prepare to disembark.” A loud and clear voice rang out, and everyone on the black boat got moving.
Lu Yun opened his eyes, stood up, and looked ahead.
A range of endless mountains appeared in his sight, like flood dragons coiling on the ground.
Among the mountains and forests, clusters of buildings were faintly visible, and wisps of clouds drifted about, giving it the appearance of a fairyland on earth.
“This is the Flying Spirit Martial Academy? It’s actually situated in a mountain range,” Lu Yun marveled inwardly. He had thought that the Flying Spirit Martial Academy would be built in the city of Spirit Martial Prefecture, but to his surprise, it was located in the mountains far away from the city.
Under the leadership of Lin Chen and the others, the new disciples of the Martial Academy, including Lu Yun, jumped off the black boat and landed on a square.
On the square, elders were already waiting to receive them.
“Gu Qingfeng, Yun Bufan, Lin Chen, why are you guys so late? This old man has been waiting for you for more than two hours!” The rugged-looking, loud-mouthed Song Gaojun bellowed.
“You better not blame me for making you wait if you haven’t brought any good seeds.”
As he spoke, he scrutinized the new academy disciples. When he saw that more than ten of them, including Xiao Chen, had already reached the Meridian Passage Realm, he nodded slightly before urging them on.
“Not bad. It seems there should be quite a few good seeds. Hurry up and show me the information so I can see just what kind of talent these new disciples have.”
Gu Qingfeng handed over the registry and pretended to be pitiful: “Elder Song, please don’t blame me. White Mountain County is so remote that there aren’t many good seeds. I only found two with Level 5 ordinary talent.”
Upon hearing this, Song Gaojun’s eyes brightened. He rudely snatched the registry from Gu Qingfeng and began flipping through it.
“Hehe, there are actually still two Level 5 talents in that hellhole of White Mountain County. You’re pretty lucky, kid. You deserve a reward!”
“Ahem, Elder Song, what do you want to reward me with?” Gu Qingfeng’s eyes darted around, and he spoke ingratiatingly.
“Go claim your reward at the Internal Affairs Hall yourself. This old man can’t afford to reward you!”
After saying that, Song Gaojun didn’t bother with Gu Qingfeng anymore, and snatched up the registry from Yun Bufan.
“Wow, Flowing Wind County is doing pretty well. Not only are there three Level 5 talents, but one of them is even a peak Level 5 talent!”
Song Gaojun closed the register, looked at the new disciples of the Martial Academy, and said loudly, “Who is Ma Yunfei?”
As the words fell, the gazes of the new martial academy disciples from Flowing Wind County converged on one place.
Lu Yun also followed the direction of their gazes and saw a young man standing proudly. He was handsome, with an extraordinary aura and bright, spirited eyes that seemed to hold a splendid galaxy.
He slightly bowed to Song Gaojun and said, “Greetings to Elder Song, 1 am Ma Yunfei from Flowing Wind County.”
Ma Yunfei’s voice was steady, his expression calm, and his demeanor impressive.
“Level 5 pinnacle innate talent, not bad!” Song Gaojun nodded slightly.
From this moment on, the name Ma Yunfei would be deeply engraved in everyone’s hearts.
Level 5 pinnacle innate talent was definitely an insurmountable mountain for the new Martial Academy disciples present.
“Ma Yunfei, perhaps he will be a worthy opponent!” Within the ranks of Cloud Water County’s martial arts new disciples, Xiao Chen muttered softly.
At the same time, in the ranks of other counties, a sense of fighting spirit rose.
Apparently, these talents with Level 5 innate talent were very interested in Ma Yunfei, who had a Level 5 pinnacle innate talent.
Feeling the strong fighting intent, Ma Yunfei just smiled faintly and didn’t take it seriously.
“It looks like a bunch of kids who can’t help themselves!” Lu Yun smiled slightly, completely forgetting that he seemed to be among the youngest in this group of people.
It seemed like the opening show was pretty good. Song Gaojun didn’t bother to check the registration books of each county’s test takers again. Instead, he directly asked, “Have any of you recruited those with Level 6 innate talent or higher?”
Lin Chen and the others were silent. It was already quite difficult to recruit people with Level 5 innate talent. Level 6 innate talent could only be found with exceptionally good luck.
After a brief silence, an indifferent-looking man approached.
“Reporting to Elder Song, 1 have recruited a Level 6 innate talent in Dashen County,” the indifferent man said.
What?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was astonished and looked at the indifferent man with envy.
A Level 6 innate talent was rare. They’d be fortunate to recruit one in several years. Even the current Flying Spirit Martial Academy had only eight Level 6 innate talents.
Lu Yun was also slightly surprised. Among the new martial academy disciples in their batch, there was actually someone with a Level 6 innate talent.
“Could it be him?” Song Gaojun pondered for a moment before slowly looking at a young man.
The young man stood in the crowd, surrounded by others as if they were stars around the moon. When he realized that Song Gaojun was looking at him, he raised his head and smiled faintly.
“This young man is Bai Haoxuan, a Level 6 innate talent, currently in the middle stage of the Meridian Passage Realm,” the indifferent man introduced.
Hisss…
All of the new martial academy disciples suddenly drew in a breath of cold air, staring intently at the smiling Bai Haoxuan.
Six-star innate talent?
Mid-stage Meridian Passage Realm?
Either one of these attributes would have been enough to make him famous among the new martial academy disciples.
Moreover, he possessed both of them.
“Bai Haoxuan?” Lu Yun glanced at the young man and found him somewhat special.
Heavenly Prides like Xiao Chen, with Level 5 innate talent, stood alone in a corner, with no one approaching them. However, it was different for Bai Haoxuan, who had many people around him, as if they were his followers.
Starting to form factions even before entering the Martial Academy was a sign of deep scheming, and it was worth paying attention to.
With the presence of Bai Haoxuan, a Level 6 innate talent genius, the overall quality of the new generation of martial academy disciples had improved. As the guiding elder, Song Gaojun was naturally pleased and no longer inquired about other Level 5 innate talents, so he began his speech.
“First of all, congratulations on passing the examination and becoming a member of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy. However, keep in mind that being a disciple of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy doesn’t mean you will suddenly transform into someone extraordinary. To achieve a true transformation, you must constantly improve and break through…”
The sound of Song Gaojun’s voice echoed across the square.
“Apart from the new disciples with Level 5 innate talent, everyone else will be treated as ordinary disciples of the academy starting from today,” he continued.
“Take them away!” With a wave of Song Gaojun’s hand, several martial academy teachers came over and took more than a thousand new disciples away.
Lu Yun scanned the area, and there were still twenty-three people left, including himself..
