Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "I'm dedicated to Martial Arts Dao. Although I'm very interested in illusions, I can't learn this technique alone. I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir!"
He heard that the old man was quite famous, and he was also a Saint. His qualifications should be equal to Saint of the Green Sky's, so he should be able to protect him. However, he could not give up Martial Arts Dao and spend a lot of energy studying illusory.
Regardless of whether the Saint in front of him was real or not, he did not hold back what he should say. He thought that Martial Arts Dao was his main goal.
It was ideal to learn illusory arts at the same time. But he would never give up Martial Arts Dao for illusory arts.
Saint of Fantasy was slightly regretful, but he immediately said, "That's right. With your Divine Sense, no matter which path you take, your future is limitless. I won't force you. But since you can pass the test of the Illusory Formation, I'll give you this Illusory Technique as a form of good karma!"
As he said this, the old man handed him the Illusory Technique.
Ye Liuyun didn't open it either. It didn't matter if it was real or fake. He would take it back first.
The old man looked him up and down, then pointed to the fourth door next to him, walked into the formation, and disappeared again!
After Ye Liuyun went out, he received the attention of everyone.
Even the way Mr. Yue looked at him changed a lot.
He had been in charge of the enrollment test for many years. It was the first time that he had seen someone walk out of the fourth stone gate.
He himself had entered the stone palace to take the test, but he was only able to pass three trials.
However, he didn't say much. Although Ye Liuyun's performance in these two tests was very amazing, his performance in the bloodline test was too mediocre. Everything depended on whether Ye Liuyun could become an inner disciple or not.
Then, the test continued. Ye Liuyun only relaxed slightly when he saw everyone's expressions. He then looked at the Universal God Token in his Ocean of Consciousness which did not react. Only then did he realize that he had indeed walked out of that Illusory Array.
But he still had a lingering fear. "This Illusory Array is really powerful. If I couldn't get out, I may be trapped and die in it."
It was not until the sun had set that all the teenagers had completed the test. The academy entrance exam was finally over.
Mr. Yue came out to announce the results.
"Number one, Long Yue, eight points. Number two, Ye Liuyun, and Qi Tianyue, seven points, number three..."
Ye Liuyun didn't expect that he would actually obtain the second place. Fortunately, his score on the bloodline test was low, and no one paid much attention to it. Everyone's attention was focused on Long Yue. He had finally passed this test.
Mr. Yue finally announced that those who didn't score more than five points were all eliminated. This time, there were only a total of sixty people being recruited, and only a quarter of them was recruited.
Song Yi and Li Mengxi also successfully entered the branch with a score of five and a half. The rest of them were all eliminated. Those who were young had a chance to come back in three years. But those who were more than seventeen years old were destined to have no fate with the Holy Martial Academy in this life.
Ye Liuyun and the others couldn't help but sigh. These were all geniuses from all over the world! There were actually so many of them eliminated! No wonder Holy Martial Academy was above the empire.
People with strong bloodlines like Xu Ze, Nan Xiner, Long Yue, and Qi Tianyue were all gathered here. It was hard for the Holy Martial Academy to not be powerful.
Ye Liuyun's eyes were bright as he gazed into the horizon, his heart filled with lofty sentiments. At the same time, he thanked Emperor Sky Fortune.
"If you give me a ride, I will definitely repay you in the future. I will fulfill your wish to step on Saint of the Green Sky and reach the peak of this era!"
He had entered the world of the sect. This was a new starting point.
From then on, he would set foot on a different life and challenge geniuses from all over the world. This kind of novel feeling also deeply encouraged him to constantly improve.
Mr. Yue was the manager of the branch of the Comprehensive Hall. He was responsible for the registration, the arrangement of accommodation, and so on.
Mr. Yue gave each of them a token, a booklet with sect rules, and a set of outer disciple clothes.
The 60 disciples held their identity tokens in excitement.
From now on, they were outer disciples of the Northern District Branch of the Holy Martial Academy!
Ye Liuyun, Song Yi, and Li Mengxi also looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Then, the new disciples followed Mr. Yue to the back of the mountain to their residence on the winding mountain road.
"Look, that mountain..."
Suddenly, a teenager screamed.
After they turned around the main hall of the Comprehensive Hall, their vision was much wider.
In the dark night sky, a mountain peak covered with blood-red lightning was particularly prominent.
At this time, the blood-red lightning was particularly strong, emitting an ancient and primitive aura. It made people feel shocked, as if they were in another century.
Ye Liuyun had been restricted by his vision earlier, so he had not seen this mountain peak. Furthermore, there was an array formation protecting this mountain, so his Divine Sense was unable to detect it.
Looking at it from a close distance, he was even more shocked. Lei Ming who was in the Interspatial Ring seemed to have sensed the power of thunder and lightning and wanted to come out.
"Don't worry, I'll let you come out when the time is right!" Ye Liuyun used his Divine Sense to comfort Lei Ming.
Just as Ye Liuyun was deep in thought, he heard a deacon say to Mr. Yue, "Looks like it's about to open again!"
Deacon Yue also nodded. He then turned to the crowd and said, "This mountain peak is the Blood Thunder Peak of the ancient ruins. It is the heritage foundation of our branch and is a forbidden area of the academy. Usually, there are Saint Elders guarding the surroundings. Those who enter within ten miles of the mountain without permission will be killed!"
Mr. Yue only gave them a simple reminder and didn't say much.
Ye Liuyun's heart turned cold when he heard that. It seemed that he had to take things slow if he wanted to approach this place. He couldn't be too hasty. The protection of saints wasn't just for fun!
Hearing this, these teenagers were even more curious about the Blood Thunder Peak, but no one dared to covet it.
As they moved, they finally saw the whole picture of the Blood Thunder Peak between the two peaks.
These people immediately screamed again.
It turned out that the Blood Thunder Peak was suspended in the air, not connected to the earth like the other peaks.
Moreover, Blood Thunder Peak was not just a mountain, but a range of mountains.
This made all the teenagers shocked.
"Such a range of mountains, how did they end up floating there?" Everyone was confused.
Ye Liuyun's Phantom Eyes looked into the distance, but his Phantom Eyes were blocked. He could not see the situation inside the mountains at all.
"This Blood Thunder Peak is really strange. It can even block the Phantom Eyes!" Ye Liuyun was secretly alarmed. He knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to enter the mountains even without the protection of the saints.
Finally, Mr. Yue brought them to the residence of the outer disciples. Everyone had a stone house for themselves.
"In the future, you will cultivate here. There is a ranking list in the Outer School, which only ranks the top two hundred disciples."
"From tomorrow on, you can challenge the disciples on the ranking list. The higher your ranking is, the better treatment you will receive. There are special courtyards for the top 10."
A month later, those ranked within 200 would officially become outer disciples.
Those who didn't challenge or those whose rankings out of 200 would be classified as handymen.
Of course, the handymen disciples could also challenge those in the ranking list in the future. If they succeed, they would replace each other's position and get rid of the identity of the handymen disciples.
There are rules in the college, which are marked in the booklet that I gave you. You'd better remember the booklet well, in case you make mistakes and lose your life."
After he finished speaking, he left with the deacons, leaving behind a group of newcomers for them to move freely.
