In the dim old forest, lightning arcs flashed from time to time, crackling and crackling. Lin Tian held the Broken Sword in one hand, motionless, running the specific true energy circulation route of Cang Lei Sword Technique with his eyes closed.
"Chi!"
"Chi!"
"Chi!"
Electric sparks flashed outside his body, like thunder intertwining, making him look like a thunder god.
Suddenly, Lin Tian moved, and with a sword, it swept the world like thunder.
With a clang, an old tree in the distance exploded, and the fracture was scorched black, as if it had been struck by lightning.
Lin Tian opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.
Although he only struck out with a sword, looking ahead, he showed a smile and was very satisfied.
"continue."
With a low groan, Lin Tian's sword showed its power and moved like thunder.
Thunder light intertwined with him outside his body. Every time he struck out with his sword, the dim space would light up slightly, like a comet piercing the sky. The momentum was vast and majestic.
"cut!"
Holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, he pressed the sword down, and the entire old forest seemed to shake.
Being in this rotten forest, Lin Tian didn't have any scruples and practiced wantonly.
When he was full of energy, he kept using the Cang Lei sword technique. When you are hungry, there are many corpses of monsters and beasts in the old forest, so it is not difficult to make some barbecue with local materials. When you are tired, you can forget about it and don't even need to worry about monsters attacking you.
In this way, half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
…
It was early in the morning, and new students were walking out one after another from the edge of Beast Demon Ridge.
The middle-aged man in charge of the assessment in Beiyan Emperor's Academy had his hands behind his back, and behind him stood Leng Feng and other five old disciples.
"It's all pretty good."
The middle-aged man smiled.
This middle-aged man's name is Han He, an elder of the Northern Yan Emperor's Courtyard.
At this moment, a lot of people gathered at the edge of Beast Demon Ridge. Except for Han He and Leng Feng, five other old disciples of the Imperial Academy, most of the others were just here to watch the excitement. At this time, on the other side of the edge, a soft sedan stopped there. Ji Yu stared at the edge of the Beast Demon Ridge for a moment, his eyes calm, as if waiting for something.
"Leng Feng, your brother is out."
said a person next to Leng Feng.
Leng Feng had no expression on his face, looking ahead and nodded to Leng Yitong who came out.
Leng Yitong smiled, and suddenly saw the soft sedan at the edge, and immediately rushed towards it.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?"
Leng Yitong said softly.
"Waiting for someone."
Ji Yu said.
"Who is it?" Leng Yitong felt cold in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Are you waiting for me? I'm so honored."
Ji Yu said nothing and leaned against the soft sedan, staring at the edge of the Beast Demon Ridge for a moment.
Someone noticed this and everyone looked over.
"What a nice view!"
"That first proud girl is here specially to wait for the young master of the Leng family?"
"I'm so happy. It would be great if I was born into a big family."
"Please God, let me change with that Leng Shao, even if I lose twenty years of my life."
"Get out of here."
Many people stared directly in the direction of the soft sedan.
Gradually, no one stepped out of the Beast Demon Ridge.
Of the 239 freshmen, a total of 221 came out alive.
"It's pretty good, much better than in previous years."
Han He said.
Ji Yu kept looking at the edge of Beast Demon Ridge, but until another hour passed, Lin Tian never appeared.
"What about him?"
Ji Yu asked Leng Yitong.
"who?"
Leng Yitong pretended to be confused.
"Lin Tian, you know him."
Leng Yitong was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said casually: "A bumpkin from the countryside probably died in the mouth of a monster."
"He is stronger than you. If you come out alive, there is no way he will die."
Ji Yu's expression was dull.
A flash of cold light quickly flashed across Leng Yitong's eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly, but finally relaxed it.
"Who knows, maybe we encountered some extremely terrifying monsters."
With that said, Leng Yitong turned and left.
Over there, Han He was greeting 221 people to return to the Imperial Courtyard. As a new student, Leng Yitong naturally had to obey orders.
"Congratulations on officially becoming a member of our Northern Yandi Academy. Next, there will be an eight-day ranking competition for new disciples. I wish you a good ranking, because this is related to the training resources you can get in the future."
Han He looked at the freshmen who walked out alive and said.
Most of the more than two hundred freshmen clenched their fists, just like when they first entered Beast Demon Ridge, and they were all ready to try.
"Now, run back to the Imperial Courtyard!"
Han He shouted.
"yes!"
All the freshmen came together, and suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a thick cloud of smoke and dust was rolled up.
"These young people are the real pillars of the empire's future!"
"Two hundred and twenty-one, they are all geniuses. I really envy them."
"Who says it isn't?"
Staring at the two hundred freshmen, many of them had sparkles in their eyes.
Gradually, the crowd surrounding this place began to disperse, and soon the surroundings became much quieter.
At this time, only Ji Yu was still staring at the edge of the Beast Demon Ridge, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
"Miss, are you back?"
asked the groom.
The groom is a powerful old man named Liu Wen. His cultivation is at the seventh level of the Divine Vein. He is an old slave of the General's Mansion.
"Uncle Liu, please go back first."
Ji Yu shook her head.
…
In the Beast Demon Ridge, Lin Tian still stayed in the Corrupt Forest, wielding the Cang Lei Sword Technique wantonly.
"Keng!"
The sword whistled and thundered, rolling around, and the ground of the Corrupt Forest was slashed and burned.
Devoting himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, Lin Tian had forgotten the passage of time.
In half a month, he controlled 55% of the Cang Lei Sword Technique, and its power was much stronger than before. Every sword strike could bring out a wild thunder, as if he were the master of thunder.
"I'm still a little short of being able to fully control 60% of the Cang Lei Sword Technique."
Lin Tian said to himself.
With a shake of his right hand, thunder resounded in all directions, making it even more harsh.
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Tian finally stopped practicing and fully controlled 60% of the Cang Lei Sword Technique. Moreover, these days, he has been cultivating himself from time to time, and is only one step away from constructing the fourth divine vein.
Putting away the broken sword, Lin Tian looked outside the forest.
"time to go."
After muttering to himself, Lin Tian stepped out.
After walking out of the Corrupted Poison Forest and walking along the familiar road, Lin Tian found that the forest was almost filled with the roars of monsters, and after walking for a long time, he could not see a single figure.
"Roar!"
A level four peak monster rushed towards Lin Tian, which was three feet tall and opened its huge mouth to bite Lin Tian.
Lin Tian tilted his head and punched out.
This level four peak monster screamed and flew away immediately.
"It just so happens that the assessment requires killing a level four peak monster and obtaining its beast core as proof."
Lin Tian dodged over.
After ten breaths, the level four monster was killed. Lin Tian took the beast core and walked towards the edge of the Beast Demon Ridge.
Not long after, Lin Tian walked out of Beast Demon Ridge and saw an empty space.
"I missed the time to come out."
Lin Tian secretly said.
Lin Tian is not stupid, and he will not think that he came out early.
After thinking about it, Lin Tian didn't care. The Imperial Academy only said that it was enough to survive in the Beast Demon Ridge for more than half a month, but it never said that exceeding the time of coming out would be considered unqualified.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian walked towards the imperial city.
"Lin Tian."
A familiar voice sounded.
Lin Tian was stunned and turned his head to look, only to see a young girl sitting on a piece of bluestone not far away.
It was Ji Yu.
"you… "
Looking at Ji Yu, Lin Tian looked a little surprised.
However, the next moment he thought of something and felt a little moved.
"How long have you been waiting?"
he asked.
"Not long, just seven days."
Ji Yu came over.
Lin Tian smiled bitterly, seven days, isn't it long? If anyone knew that the most prodigious girl in the Imperial City had been waiting for him here for seven days, they would probably swarm him and hack him to death.
After a pause, Lin Tian came to his senses again: "So, the assessment has been over for seven days?"
Ji Yu nodded and asked, "Why did you come out so late?"
Seven days ago, Han He called all the new students of the Imperial Academy to return to the Northern Yan Emperor Academy, but Ji Yu always believed that Lin Tian had never died and had been waiting here. At this moment, I was a little happy to see Lin Tian coming out, but of course, I was also a little confused.
"I encountered some small things, and then I practiced in an old forest. As a result... well, I lost track of time."
Lin Tian said awkwardly.
Ji Yu was slightly stunned and couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How can it be like this? He actually forgot the time while practicing."
Seeing Ji Yu's actions, Lin Tian was stunned. He was also in his prime, and it was obviously impossible not to be tempted by such a lovely and charming girl.
"What are you looking at?"
Ji Yu blinked.
"without."
Lin Tian quickly looked away.
Ji Yu snickered: "Idiot."
Lin Tian had already walked out of the Beast Demon Ridge, and the two of them walked towards the Imperial City together. About two hours later, the two returned to the Imperial City. When passing by the General's Mansion, Ji Yu stopped.
"I won't send you to the Imperial Courtyard. Be careful on the way."
Ji Yu smiled.
As the granddaughter of the Imperial General, Ji Yu has amazing talent. Many elders from the Imperial Court once came to invite Ji Yu to join the Imperial Court to practice, but unfortunately they were all declined because they didn't like the hustle and bustle. However, despite this, Ji Yu's cultivation is not weak at all. In addition, as the most beautiful woman in the imperial city, she ranks sixth on the most popular list.
"Well, thank you."
Lin Tian nodded.
Ji Yu waved gently to Lin Tian before walking into the house.
The two strong men guarding the General's Mansion glanced at their young lady and then at Lin Tian, both with ambiguous expressions on their faces.
"Ahem."
Lin Tian looked slightly embarrassed, coughed twice, and walked towards the Imperial Courtyard.
The General's Mansion was still some distance away from Beiyan Emperor's Courtyard. About half an hour later, Lin Tian appeared outside Beiyan Emperor's Courtyard. At this time, the Beiyan Emperor's Courtyard seemed very lively, because this year's new students of the Emperor's Courtyard were in a ranking battle. Since it was a ranking battle, it would naturally attract many disciples and mentors of the Emperor's Courtyard to watch.
"Beiyan Emperor Courtyard, Leng Feng, Leng Yitong, I, Lin Tian, am back."
Lin Tian smiled coldly.
After taking out the nameplate of the Imperial Court and giving it to the strong man guarding outside the Imperial Court, Lin Tian walked into the Imperial Courtyard with a calm expression. Only his eyes looked particularly cold, as if there was a cold knife conceived in them.
