Chapter 731 - 731 731 Harsh Conditions

Chapter 731: Chapter 731 Harsh Conditions Chapter 731: Chapter 731 Harsh Conditions Reaching the Tianji Realm by the age of twenty, even within the Holy Soul Academy, there were not many students who could attain such a level.

Although the Holy Soul Academy is said to be the most powerful institution on the Mainland, with each student a genius, there were still only a few who could reach the Tianji Realm before the age of twenty.

Attaining the cultivation of the Tianji Realm before the age of twenty is definitely a sign of a terrifying genius. Across the entire Mainland, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Even if the Holy Soul Academy does have students at the Tianji Realm, the majority of them have already surpassed twenty years of age.

“Such a frightening pace of cultivation could be compared to that of our academy’s freak!”

“Which major power does this Feng Wuchen belong to? With his talent, placed in our academy, he would likely rank second in terms of talent!”

“Could Chairman Lin be talking nonsense?”

Several students were full of shock and disbelief.

“Chairman Lin, what’s the background of this Feng Wuchen that he possesses such defiantly heavenly talent!” Shangguan Yunyun asked in astonishment, her interest piqued once again.

Lin Moyang shook his head slightly, smiling faintly, “I only know he comes from the Feng family of the Yanhuo Empire to the west of the Mainland, the specifics are beyond my knowledge.”

Lin Moyang also did not dare to reveal too much about Feng Wuchen.

“I see,” Shangguan Yunyun nodded and said, “I would really like to meet him if I have the chance.”

Blinking her beautiful eyes, Shangguan Yunyun continued, “Chairman Lin, let them in.”

Lin Moyang nodded, signaling the captain of the guards to act accordingly.

The many younger-generation geniuses who had already been waiting outside the auction house entrance instantly erupted into excitement and exuberance upon seeing the captain of the guards emerge.

The streets outside were crowded beyond capacity, not only with the geniuses coming to sign up and their relatives but also with others who came to catch a glimpse of Shangguan Yunyun’s fairy-like visage.

“Enter if you are at the eighth level of the Tianyuan Realm,” the captain of the guards said sternly.

All the geniuses who had reached the eightfold Tianyuan Realm rushed into the auction house, as if being the first to enter would guarantee a spot in the Holy Soul Academy.

There was no shortage of geniuses coming to sign up; nearly a hundred, and not all of them were at the eightfold Tianyuan Realm level.

Trying your luck? Thinking that being good-looking might sway Shangguan Yunyun?

Daydreaming!

Inside the great hall, the geniuses quickly quieted down, but they could not contain the excitement on their faces.

These hundreds of geniuses all came from various major forces in the Star Realm, including Mo Qingyun from the Tiandao Sect.

Mo Qingyun was the young Sect Master of the Tiandao Sect, the sect’s number one genius. At just eighteen this year, his cultivation had already stepped into the first level of the Heavenly Human Realm, his strength formidable indeed.

Mo Qingyun had a significant reputation in the Star Realm, an utter battle fanatic and one of the Star Realm’s proud heavenly scions.

Shangguan Yunyun’s gaze swept over each genius, nodding with satisfaction, and said with a light laugh, “I believe you already know that besides having a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul, one must also be at the eightfold level of the Tianyuan Realm. Even if you have the talent, without being at the eightfold Tianyuan Realm, you cannot enter the Holy Soul Academy.”

“Instructor Shangguan, is the peak of the seventh level not acceptable? I’m so close to breaking through. If I can’t get into the Holy Soul Academy this time, I’ll have to wait another year,” one person asked anxiously.

“No is no, we cannot change the rules of the academy, you’d better come back next year,” a disciple replied coldly, rejecting him without mercy.

“Instructor Shangguan…” The youth looked at Shangguan Yunyun with pleading eyes.

“Begging is useless, rules are rules! Even instructors can’t help you,” another disciple said strongly, with extreme arrogance.

Just then, the leader’s guard entered the hall and respectfully said to Lin Moyang, “Chairman, Chi Huang’s leader and the other deities request an audience.”

“Let them in,” Lin Moyang said without hesitation.

Since the Holy Soul Academy was recruiting students today, the auction was suspended for one day, and entry required the approval of the chairman and the elders.

In past years, Lin Moyang would have outright refused anyone who wasn’t of special status.

But now that Chi Huang had arrived, Lin Moyang immediately agreed, which surprised Shangguan Yunyun and the seven students.

Who exactly is Chi Huang’s leader, and why does Lin Moyang hold him in such regard?

Noticing Shangguan Yunyun’s astonished expression, Lin Moyang said with a faint smile, “Chi Huang is the commander of the Dragon God Palace soldiers, a subordinate of Feng Wuchen.”

“It seems that Chairman Lin has a good relationship with Feng Wuchen,” Shangguan Yunyun said with a light laugh.

“Chairman Lin, three elders, and Instructor Shangguan, I’m really sorry for the disturbance, we won’t take too long, it will be over quickly,” said Chi Huang as he politely made a fist-and-palm salute.

“You’re too polite, leader Chi Huang,” Lin Moyang said with a smile.

“No worries,” Shangguan Yunyu said with a light laugh, not minding it and assessing Chi Huang’s group along with the students.

“Chairman Lin, the Hall Master needs a batch of medicinal ingredients, as many as possible,” Chi Huang handed Lin Moyang a list, with rows of medicinal ingredients listed on it.

Seeing the names on the list, Lin Moyang was greatly shocked, “The Alchemist Emperor has already broken through to a Seventh-Grade Alchemist!”

“Medicinal ingredients for making Seventh Grade Pills!” Shangguan Yunyun caught a glimpse of the list inadvertently and was secretly astonished.

“Just a moment,” Nie Fengyun volunteered to fetch the ingredients, feeling even more shocked.

“Who exactly is this Feng Wuchen?” Shangguan Yunyu grew increasingly curious, noticing the auction house’s utmost courtesy toward the Dragon God Palace—respectful was hardly an overstatement.

“I heard just now that even someone at the Seventh Level of the Tianyuan Realm can’t enter the Holy Soul Academy—it truly lives up to its reputation as the number one academy on the mainland,” said Nitian with praise.

“Young brother, don’t be discouraged if you can’t enter the Holy Soul Academy. You can join the Dragon God Palace, and who knows, you might break through to the Eightfold of the Tianyuan Realm tomorrow,” Huanyang said with a pat on the young man’s shoulder, smiling.

“Really?” the young man asked with fervent eyes as he looked at Huanyang.

“Absolutely no falsehood! The Holy Soul Academy doesn’t want you, but the Dragon God Palace doesn’t have such high standards. Although it can’t compare to the Holy Soul Academy, it’s at least better than cultivating alone, right?” Huanyang said confidently.

At this point, Huanyang glanced at Shangguan Yunyun and said, “Instructor Shangguan, he was someone you didn’t want; I’m not snatching from you, so I hope Instructor Shangguan doesn’t mind.”

Shangguan Yunyu shook her head slightly without speaking.

“Okay! I’ll join the Dragon God Palace!” the young man agreed without hesitation, his dark eyes filled with determination.

It was just a half-step away, yet he was still ruthlessly rejected by the Holy Soul Academy. The young man secretly resolved to train hard; he wanted to make the Holy Soul Academy regret not accepting him!

Huanyang recruited the young man right in front of the students from the Holy Soul Academy, yet there was no disrespect in his action, as it was the academy that didn’t want him.

“Accepting just anyone, it seems the Dragon God Palace isn’t all that impressive either, and Feng Wuchen might not be as remarkable as Chairman Lin says,” sneered a student.

At the student’s words, the old faces of Lin Moyang and others changed instantly.

The gazes of Chi Huang, Nitian, and the others also couldn’t help but sweep towards that student.
