Long Xiangtian instantly burst out with the power of the Nine Netherworlds, and his cultivation level soared, directly overshadowing Lu Jia's momentum and becoming a sixth-grade Xuan realm cultivator.
"God-killing Finger!"
Long Xiangtian transformed his mysterious power into a finger and faced Lu Jia's blade. The originally extremely sharp blade shattered instantly on Long Xiangtian's finger.
Although Lu Jia's blade was broken, Long Xiangtian's God-Destroying Finger, which contained huge energy, did not dissipate, but instead hit Lu Jia directly.
Lu Jia was completely unprepared and took Long Xiangtian's God-Killing Finger with a look of horror on his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards dozens of meters, and fell to the ground, motionless, his life or death unknown.
Lu Jia was not the only one who was shocked. Everyone who saw Long Xiangtian's aura surge from the third level to the sixth level were shocked by Long Xiangtian's strange cultivation and the powerful finger.
"Brother, this kid..."
"Seventh sister, go check on Lu Jia." The Great Elder interrupted the Second Elder beside him and said a few words to the only woman. After the Seventh Elder went to check on Lu Jia, the Great Elder looked at Long Xiangtian again.
"What is your level of cultivation?" At this time, the Great Elder was extremely interested in Long Xiangtian. He did not expect that a mere outer courtyard student could defeat a student ranked more than 40th in the inner courtyard with just one move. It was really unbelievable.
"Replying to the Great Elder, I have reached the third level and entered the Profound Realm." Long Xiangtian did not pay any attention to the life or death of Lu Jia who was defeated by him, but answered the Great Elder.
"Great Elder, that is evil magic. That body must be a soul. This person kills people and takes their souls to increase his own strength. It must be evil magic."
A weak voice was heard, and Long Xiangtian looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Lv Jia. Lv Jia was hit by Long Xiangtian's finger, but he did not die immediately. After the temporary treatment of the Seventh Elder, he can now speak.
As soon as Lu Jia woke up, he began to complain to the elder about Long Xiangtian. Indeed, Long Xiangtian's Nine Netherworld would produce some ghosts, but those were just illusions. Being disturbed by those things only showed that Lu Jia was not strong enough.
As for the kind of evil magic that Lu Jia mentioned, Long Xiangtian had heard of it. They were all techniques that were harmful to the harmony of nature. Although Long Xiangtian was very eager for strength, he still disdained such despicable means.
"Long Xiangtian, who is your master? I don't believe that the outer courtyard can teach a genius like you. Of course, you don't have to tell me." The elder did not dwell on the evil magic that Lu Jia mentioned. Based on his vision, if Long Xiangtian used any evil magic, it would be impossible to hide it from him.
"I come from a small country and do not have any special status. As for my master, I really have no way to tell you, Great Elder."
Long Xiangtian did not say anything about his identity, and as for Zhan Tian, Long Xiangtian did not give any further explanation.
The Great Elder nodded and did not delve into Long Xiangtian's identity, but it was not certain whether he would investigate secretly.
"Great Elder, we can't let Long Xiangtian go!" Lu Jia shouted unwillingly a few times, and his tone was full of strong hatred towards Long Xiangtian.
"If you want to die, I can satisfy you."
Long Xiangtian originally wanted to kill Lu Jia directly, but the Seventh Elder was still by Lu Jia's side after all. If he killed him now, not only would his mission be in vain, but it would also most likely make the Seventh Elder unhappy. Long Xiangtian could only let Lu Jia live for a while.
However, even if Long Xiangtian could let Lu Jia go temporarily, it did not mean that Long Xiangtian would allow Lu Jia to keep barking there. He then released murderous intent, as if if Lu Jia did not stop talking in the next second, Long Xiangtian would kill him regardless of everything.
"You..." Lu Jia felt as if a killing god was standing in front of him. Coupled with the ghostly shadow on Long Xiangtian's body, Lu Jia felt a chill behind his back and dared not say another word.
"You guys continue with the assessment."
Seeing that Lu Jia stopped talking, the Great Elder put the matter aside and planned to continue the inner courtyard selection that had been interrupted.
"Great Elder, I voluntarily withdraw."
Suddenly, after the great elder finished speaking, one of the remaining seven men directly admitted defeat.
The Great Elder was slightly stunned, but he soon understood. Originally, Long Xiangtian's strength of the third level of the Profound Realm was already considered the top level among them. In addition, Long Xiangtian just used thundering means to defeat Lu Jia, who was in the fifth level of the Profound Realm, with just one move. Naturally, this would make several people want to retreat.
"Great Elder, I voluntarily withdraw."
"..."
As the first voice sounded, voices of voluntary withdrawal came one after another, and in the end, no one was willing to have this final competition with Long Xiangtian.
In fact, it is not their fault for being timid. It is just that Long Xiangtian shocked them too much. He defeated a fifth-grade Xuan realm cultivator with one move, which made it impossible for them to resist.
Not only that, the murderous aura on Long Xiangtian not only frightened Lu Jia, but also made them feel a little nervous. In addition, someone took the initiative to admit defeat, breaking their last line of defense, so they had nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I declare you to be officially a member of the inner court of my martial arts academy. As for the remaining seven people, it is not impossible, but they still need to go through some tests."
It is impossible for the Martial Arts Academy to only recruit one person into the inner courtyard every year, otherwise there would not be so many students. However, the remaining few people who want to join the inner courtyard have to go through more tests than Long Xiangtian.
"Long Xiangtian, you have ten days to report to the inner courtyard. Okay, let's go."
Following the order from the Great Elder, everyone dispersed, but everyone was talking about Long Xiangtian to some extent. Lu Jia was also taken away by the Seventh Elder to heal his injuries.
"Congratulations, Long Xiangtian." Among the ten people, Si Feng was most optimistic about Long Xiangtian, so now that Long Xiangtian had obtained the qualification for the inner courtyard assessment, Si Feng was the first to congratulate Long Xiangtian.
"When I enter the inner courtyard in the future, I will trouble Senior Brother Si Feng to take care of me." Long Xiangtian still had some good feelings towards Si Feng, so his tone was naturally much better.
Si Feng originally wanted to be more humble, but suddenly he saw Bing Hai walking towards him from behind, so he naturally walked aside tactfully.
"congratulations."
"Thanks."
After saying that, Binghai turned around and left. If Long Xiangtian didn't know Binghai's character, he would have doubted whether Binghai came to congratulate him sincerely.
Seeing that Bing Hai left after saying just one sentence, Si Feng was naturally curious and approached Long Xiangtian to ask him questions.
Long Xiangtian didn't say much, but Si Feng became even more curious because of Long Xiangtian's mystery, and still wanted to ask more. Long Xiangtian was also a little headache. He didn't expect that Si Feng, who seemed so serious on the surface, was actually such a curious person.
