ct calmly analyzed."Yes, Master, please don't act impulsively. The situation is unclear right now, we need to be cautious."Now that we've put the half-human, half-spirit card on the table, we just ne..."Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Clang!"
The crisp and melodious chime of the bell rings continuously.
When Yunhao arrived at the plaza, the designated meeting point of Qingfeng Wuyuan, he found that hundreds of young men and women had already gathered there.
At a glance, the majority of cultivators present were from the Huahhai realm, accounting for seven out of ten. Over two tenths were from the Juling realm, and a small percentage had barely perceptible fluctuations in their spiritual energy. These must be cultivators who specialized in alchemy, weapon refinement, or formations.
These people, hailing from all corners of Beihang Prefecture, having already qualified to take the assessment, were essentially a pre-screened group. But this number… it was still far too small!
As for the reason, Yunhao understood clearly. In this region of Beihang County, Cangxing Martial Academy completely overshadowed Qingfeng Martial Academy, with the vast majority of people readily joining Cangxing Martial Academy without hesitation.
In fact, the general environment of the entire Qingfeng Dynasty is about the same.
Even though the Qingsheng Martial Academy was established by the royal family, the Cangxing Martial Academy has more potential!
The square wasn't very spacious. Hundreds of young men and women were almost all in groups of three or five, each forming a distinct little circle.
Yun Hao randomly found an empty space and waited quietly.
Beside him sat a boy with dark skin, dressed in coarse hemp clothing and his long hair haphazardly tied with a grass rope. He sat alone on the ground, his left hand holding a piece of wood while his right hand held a carving knife. With a focused expression, he diligently carved into the wood.
This person's clothing and attire stood out of place compared to the surrounding environment.
With Yunhao's keen eyesight, a mere glance was all it took for him to see through this person's facade.
This person's cultivation realm is not particularly outstanding, it's only at the sixth level of the Huanghai Realm.
But... his physical body contained explosive power. Once it erupted, even ordinary cultivators of the Gathering Spirit Realm, levels two or three, would be no match for him.
However, his physique was ordinary and unremarkable. There was nothing extraordinary about him. The Qi within him was scattered, clearly demonstrating that he practiced a low-level technique. Even the explosive power he possessed, Yun Hao was 100% certain that this person didn't know how to control it.
Most likely, it was a stroke of luck, consuming certain special herbs and treasures that led to this transformation.
As for carving, he obviously wanted to better control the power of his physical body. The carving knife in his hand was wielded with utmost care, each stroke on the wooden sculpture meticulously controlled, aiming to harness every ounce of strength!
Perhaps it felt the gaze of Yun Hao.
The boy stopped carving and looked up at Yun Hao.
His dark face was full of sincerity. He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. In his eyes shone a simple and pure light.
"Hello."
The man took the initiative to greet him.
Yun Hao nodded in response, "Hello."
A touch of awkwardness appeared on the man's face, as if he wasn't very good at socializing. After a moment of thought, he managed to squeeze out a few words: "My name is... My name is Shi Feng, what about you"
"Yunhao."
Shi Feng didn't know what to say anymore.
Yun Hao smiled faintly and said, "What you carved is very good."
Shi Feng, because of the awkwardness caused by his poor social skills, finally eased up a lot. He nodded heavily, looked at the sky as blue as washing, and said in a proud tone: "My father said that I must be the best woodcarver in the village."
Just then.
Teasing laughter arose.
"Is this it Not bad Just a piece of wood!"
"Haha, you can't carve rotten wood, haven't you heard that No matter how well you carve it, what use is it"
"A cultivator of such high stature, yet to focus their mind on such trivial matters! It is simply foolish to the extreme!"
Shi Feng, ridiculed and mocked, flushed red. He clenched his hands tightly around the wooden sculpture and carving knife. He looked at those who mocked him, but did not argue with them.
As for this scene, Yun Hao did not say anything.
It was just a chance encounter.
Shi Feng remained silent, then continued to focus intently on carving the wood in his hands.
Another moment passed.
An elderly man and a young girl arrived at the contact point of Qinfeng Martial Academy.
The old man's face was withered and his expression grave, as if he were always on guard.
The girl had long, braided pigtails, a lovely oval face, delicate features, and bright eyes that sparkled like two stars.
Her figure is petite, but the light yellow dress perfectly accentuates her curvy silhouette.
"Elder Lin, there's no need to be so tense. This is already the territory of Qingfeng Martial Academy, there's no danger here," the girl said.
The old man's face was expressionless: "Princess, we've been out long enough. It's time to go back."
The young girl giggled and said, "No, I'm not going back. This is the territory of Marquis Shenyong, and they say outside that in Beihang County, even imperial edicts are less important than a word from the Murong family. Since that's the case, I'll stay here."
"I'll go back once I've found evidence of General Hou's rebellion!"
The elder's expression grew grave. "Princess," he said, "you must absolutely not..."
"Master Lin, my decision is made. You don't need to persuade me any further. My father has enough worries already, and I just want to help share some of the burden."
I have already said hello to Qifeng Wuyuan, I will participate in their assessment, and then naturally enter Qifeng Wuyuan.
I have already set my plan. Starting with this assessment, I will select some geniuses to recruit, and then enter the Qinfeng Martial Academy to recruit even more.
"Since it's not easy to investigate the Shen Yong Hou Mansion openly, I'll use my own way to find out!"
Having said that.
The girl strode straight into the Qingfeng Martial Academy contact point and arrived at the plaza where everyone had gathered.
With her arrival, a ripple of excitement ran through the crowd.
All eyes in the room were focused on her.
This is the kind of woman who isn't particularly beautiful, but once you glance at her, you absolutely can't forget her.
Her youthful vitality and noble elegance are truly special.
Under the intense gaze of many, the young girl remained calm and composed. She walked gracefully onto the stage and flashed a sweet smile. Her fair and delicate cheeks were...
Two small dimples appeared.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Xin Yue. I'm glad to be able to participate in the assessment of Qingfeng Martial Academy with all of you. This is fate. We will continue to practice and live together at Qingfeng Martial Academy in the future. I hope you will all take care of me."
Saying that, Chu Xin Yue raised her hand and waved it. A long sword flew out from her storage ring.
This is a Xuan-rank lower-grade sword. If anyone can hold this sword, I will give it to them.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Most of the people in the field had their eyes burning with fervor, their blood boiling.
Even non-Kendo practitioners were moved!
Even for the children of wealthy families in a county seat, a Xuanjie low-grade item would be an incredibly precious treasure!
You know, the reward for the first place in this assessment from Qingfeng Martial Academy is only a Xuan-grade lower rank sword!
All eyes were blazing, fixed intently on the sword.
Suddenly, the sword shot out with a jolt and stopped before Yun Hao... Golden Sword Disciple of the Wanjian Gate, enter the Wanjian Space, and seize the Heaven-Ranked top-grade sword discovered within!That's when.Yelin received a voice transmission from an In-path Realm...
