Chapter 4, Tiandu Academy

The day has already brightened, so I first went to the stable to feed the black dragon. Who knows how long this exam will take this time

I asked curiously, "How did you manage to get the invigilator to agree to let you take the test again"

With this dark barrier, my defense has become even stronger. I slowly retracted the dark magic, and a wave of dizziness hit me, causing my body to sway involuntarily. The backlash from the dark magic is truly formidable; even with my robust physique, I found it somewhat unbearable. I quickly activated the Celestial Demon Technique, and the feeling of dizziness gradually faded away.

The guard was momentarily at a loss for words. I pulled the black dragon and walked inside, faintly hearing the guard behind us mutter in dissatisfaction, "It's just a freshman, what's so impressive about that."

"Alright, thank you, Director. I will bring it tomorrow. I will take my leave now." The Director watched my departing figure with a shadowy smile, muttering to himself, "It seems I can make some extra money again."

I stopped him once again, and he said displeased, "What else is there?"

On the road, Zhang Feng admired, "This horse of yours is quite impressive, but it is a bit too spirited. It seems I really need to find you a separate stable. Be careful in the future; the academy allows fair competitions to enhance the enthusiasm of the students for their training." I never expected that the self-important director would also show concern for me. Hearing his words, I finally sensed a hint of elderliness in him.

"Is it Lei Xiang?" The head teacher flipped through the roster, then looked at me and said: "The tuition fee for one semester is 20 gold coins, the accommodation fee is 5 gold coins, the meal fee is 5 gold coins, the book fee is 1 gold coin, and the miscellaneous fee is 2 gold coins. You also have a horse, right? I will collect half a year's fee from you, which is 18 gold coins. Let me calculate... In total, it amounts to 51 gold coins. Please make the payment."

The payment has been taken care of; Director Zhang had completely forgotten about this matter. He smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "I will take you there now; you all wait here for a moment."

Alright, the content of the exam is to leave a mark in your numbered square on the iron plate of the table, the deeper the better. Weapons are not allowed, but both magic and fighting spirit are permitted. The time starts now. You have thirty seconds

Returning to the inn, I packed my belongings, then went to the Golden Tower to withdraw 200 gold coins for future use, and finally went to the stable to give the Black Dragon a thorough wash.

He smiled awkwardly and said to me in a low voice: "I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else. I worked as a janitor at the academy for a year last year, which is why I know so much about it."

Alright, I will take note of that, thank you

I glanced at him, and his words made me feel like laughing. I said, "Concentrate your strength a bit." After saying this, I closed my eyes again. Although I only spoke six words, it had a significant impact on him.

I know he must have deceived me, but in order to continue staying at the academy smoothly in the future, I pretended not to know and took out 51 gold coins from my pocket and handed them over

I went to walk the horse

Fengyun thought, your arrogance is not much different from his, yet you replied: "Indeed, the class rule of the Dragon God Empire is quite strong, and the nobility enjoys many advantages. Most of the people who come here are hoping to hone their skills and then join the military to become a noble."

The head of the teaching department cast a dissatisfied glance at the dean's back, clearly displeased with the dean's manner of speaking, and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, everyone be quiet. The dean is absolutely right. In order for everyone to better cultivate in the academy, it is advisable to avoid developing feelings that may affect your studies. We will now begin to divide into classes. Students studying martial arts, please stand on the west side; students studying magic, please stand on the east side; and those studying both martial arts and magic, please stand in the middle"

As I was walking, the new student who was burning the table ran over, panting, and said: "I really found you, your horse has been taken care of."

Director Zhang immediately broke into a broad smile and began counting the gold coins. After a while, he finally came to his senses from the intoxication of the coins. He took out a key and handed it over, saying: "Here you go, this is the key to your dormitory. The room number is on the key, so you can find it yourself. Tomorrow, you will have class in Room 106 on the first floor of the main teaching building." I took the key and replied, "Alright. Where will my horse be settled?" Tomorrow, you will have class in Room 106 on the first floor of the main teaching building." I took the key and replied, "Alright. Where will my horse be settled?"

I said plainly, "My name is Lei Xiang"

I said in a low voice, "Don't speak carelessly." Yet, the lovely face of Zixue appeared before my eyes. The term "院花" (the flower of the academy) felt quite novel to me, so I continued to ask, "Are there other院花 in the academy?"

... ...

My name is Fengyun, what is your name

A shiver ran through me as I said, "I have no home, I wander everywhere."

I was resting with my eyes closed when I suddenly noticed that someone seemed to have appeared beside me. Upon opening my eyes, I saw it was the same person who had just set the table on fire.

The instructor furrowed his brow and said seriously: "You better find a place to deal with it, sell it, or have it fostered elsewhere"

He was instantly enraged and arrogantly declared: "Anyone who dares to bully Zixue is my enemy. I will deal with you." As he spoke, he was about to charge forward

A total of 1,000 individuals gathered at Tiandu College for the re-examination, arranged in 20 rows according to their numbers, forming a rectangular formation on the playground

He was sitting next to me, looking at me. When I opened my eyes, he said, "Hello, big brother. Just now, I saw you penetrate the iron plate. Why can't I do it? I spent a long time and ended up breaking the table, but that iron plate is just fine." As he spoke, his face was filled with a sense of helplessness.

I was the first to reach the front of this row, and the invigilator, holding the attendance sheet, said: "You are number 1, Lei Xiang, right"

What is the background of that girl with purple hair

I looked down and saw that there were 50 squares on the large iron plate, each marked with a number. This is too easy, I thought. The iron plate felt no different from tofu in my hands. A hint of disdainful smile appeared at the corner of my mouth as I extended my right index finger to press on the iron plate, preparing to drill a hole in it. The invigilator, noticing my contemptuous smile, secretly sneered to himself, thinking, just wait and see, kid; this is an iron plate reinforced with a magical barrier.

Taking advantage of Director Zhang's presence, I quickly ran over after the meeting and said: "Director Zhang, can I bring my horse to the academy to keep?" I really want to find a good place for my Black Dragon

The black dragon let out a furious roar, raising its front hooves high, ready to stomp down on the girl. The girl, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, fell to the ground in fear, and just as she was about to become the second victim beneath the black dragon's hooves, I appeared

I said coldly: "I don't know; I only know that it was Director Zhang from the Teaching Office who asked me to bring it."

The girl stood up from the ground; she was a very cute little girl with long purple hair that cascaded down to her waist. Her petite figure was strikingly beautiful, with skin as white as jade. Her large eyes were filled with mist, and her small face was pale with fear as she stammered, "I’m sorry." Tears swirled around her eyes. Annoyed, I waved my hand and said, "Stay away from the Black Dragon in the future."

Your horse is still a pony

I said, "But my horse only eats the food I provide; it is a fine horse. I am willing to pay extra tuition. Could you please make an exception?" For the sake of the Black Dragon, I, who am proud, had no choice but to humble myself.

Once I have settled the Black Dragon, I will go to find the place where I plan to reside long-term. I glanced at the key in my hand, which is engraved with 6 - 3 - 4, and I do not know what it means

Fengyun pointed to the lower bunk on the right and said: "I will sleep here, Lei Xiang, you sleep there"

The preceding remarks, especially the segment about the Dragon Knights, stirred the enthusiasm of most of the students (most, except for me, as the Dragon Clan would never accept non-humans), making them eager to ride a dragon and display their prowess. However, by the end of the speech, everyone was disheartened. At the age of 16 or 17, one is in a vague stage regarding matters of love, filled with fantasies, and upon hearing the dean's words, they could not help but feel some dissatisfaction. Consequently, discussions erupted across the playground.

Consequently, discussions erupted across the playground.

The other students were taken aback, looking at the director of education with astonished expressions as if they wanted to say something. However, Zhang Feng responded with a piercing gaze, intimidating their words back into silence.

Actually, I do not know how big it is; I bought it from the racetrack

Ah, this is easy to recognize. You all have the surname Huo; are you studying fire magic?

Oh! You haven't met my kin yet; they are all over 4 meters tall. However, it's better that you don't meet them, or you might get torn apart. Ugh, why am I inexplicably concerned about this kid I've just met? I shook my head, trying to cast this thought aside.

I slapped away his outstretched hand and coldly said, "Is it any of your business?"

Can the academy still bring horses in

Since I cannot break through the airflow this way, I will exert a bit more effort. I channel a portion of the dark energy within me to my fingers. With a flash of black mist from my fingertips, a sound of "pu" pierced through the airflow. Without the protection of the airflow, the iron plate was easily punctured like paper, and even the table below was not spared.

I scoffed with disdain, "I am always available to accompany you, but let me tell you first, my hands are heavy. If you end up with broken arms or legs, do not blame me."

I pushed the door open and walked into the office of the teaching department. It was indeed spacious, with 8 desks arranged inside, and several teachers were seated. I thought I had arrived quite early, yet there were already 6 or 7 students in the room, clearly new students. Director Zhang evidently remembered me, the student who paid to rent a stable, and greeted me proactively: "You’re here, I’ve been waiting for you for half a day. You can start with your enrollment procedures. What is your name?" The other new students, all boys, turned to look at me. One of them even said, "How can he go first when we arrived earlier?" The director shot him a glare, and he dared not speak again.

The director shot him a glare, and he dared not speak again.

The Huo brothers exchanged smiles, and Huo Xingdao said: "I am the eldest, with a small mole at the corner of my left eye, while my younger brother does not have one"

Warren then left with a few of his subordinates, looking somewhat disgruntled. The candidate who burned the table yesterday also came; he leaned closer to me and whispered, "Take me to find you." I glanced back at him but did not respond.

The boy named Warren saw the dean stepping in, and with a resentful snort, he declared, "You just wait, kid; there will be consequences for you in the future"

I pointed to his upper bunk and said, "I will sleep above you." I chose a cabinet and put all my things inside.

It suddenly dawned on me that he must have put in considerable effort to reach this point in the examination

Mars nodded and said: "We practice both magic and martial arts, combining fire magic with swordsmanship." It turned out that, like me, they appeared to possess considerable strength on the surface.

I took a deep breath, slowly retracted my fingers, and said coldly: "Teacher, is it enough now?"

Are the nobles really that arrogant

The invigilating teacher looked at him helplessly and said, "Go, stand in line first." He shrugged his shoulders and ran to the back.

It is unclear how much time has passed when the broadcast sounded again: "Attention all candidates, please line up according to the original formation. The examination results will now be announced."

I shook my head, unsure whether the invigilator would allow him to retake the exam. I closed my eyes and continued to rest.

He tapped his own head and said, "Right, how did I not think of that? Let me think... I know a fire cone spell, that should work. I'll go try it again." After saying this, he ran off

"There are such good horses for sale at the racetrack; I will go take a look when I have the chance. Alright, we have arrived; this will be our home from now on, let's go inside quickly." He pulled me into the dormitory.

After I bowed and paid my respects, I stood to the side. I did not want to run too far, as I wanted to observe the abilities of the other candidates to determine whether I could qualify.

I am utterly dizzy. Are all the teachers at this school like this? They only care about money

The dormitory conditions are quite good. At the innermost part, there are two sets of bunk beds, each with brand new bedding, indicating that it is meant to accommodate four people. Currently, only Fengyun and I are living here. On one side of the beds, there are two desks, while on the other side, there are four metal cabinets, presumably for storage. In the corner, there are daily necessities such as a broom, a basin, and a mop.

I swiftly darted forward, catching the black dragon's two feet as it landed, just as I had when I conquered it. Due to the urgency of the moment, I was pushed back a step by the dragon's immense force. The black dragon, seeing me, let out a joyful roar, and only then did I release its front claws. I turned to the frightened girl and shouted, "Are you looking for death? What are you touching it for?"

Which dormitory are you in

The invigilating teacher picked up the iron plate and said: "This one is no longer usable, the barrier has been breached. I need to go get another one. You should go to the playground and take a break first. We will announce the results after all the tests are completed."

I have finally gained admission to Tiandu College through my own efforts, taking the first step towards completing my mission. A rare sense of excitement has arisen within me

Fengyun Dao: "The guy who was just about to trouble you has quite the background. He is a third-year student, apparently studying martial arts. His family comes from nobility, and it seems his father is some kind of viscount. It would be better to keep your distance from him in the future"

I coldly said: "I haven't learned magic yet, I will study it later."

Why does he have so much to say, it's almost like Fengyun. I impatiently said: "I like magic, I can just learn it later."

Early in the morning, I got up while they were still asleep. The sky was just beginning to brighten. I went alone to the dormitory entrance and practiced the Thunderous Fist Thirteen Times to stretch my muscles. The cafeteria had not yet opened, so I went to the stable. The black dragon was in good condition. I fed it some feed, then led it out and rode it around the playground for a few laps, returning it only when the sky had fully brightened.

You are a student, aren't you? Don't you know that Tian Du Academy does not allow horses on campus?

Fengyun Dao: "That must be quite impressive, the three of you are all magic warriors, while I am just a magician"

Zixue lowered her head and said, "Yes, Director."

Is that so, hetushu.com? How do you know? Listening to him talk about Heilong, I am somewhat interested

Not long after, the invigilator replaced the iron plate and called the next candidate to perform the test. I observed more than ten individuals, and none could compare to me; at most, they managed to create a dent of about 1 centimeter in the iron plate. One candidate was particularly amusing; he seemed to be studying fire magic, continuously launching fireballs at the iron plate, yet leaving no mark whatsoever. As he noticed time was running out, he chanted: "O omnipresent spirit of fire, grant me endless flames, incinerate all before me—Explosive Flame." This was a mid-level fire magic spell, which appeared quite powerful. The invigilator quickly cast a water-based protective shield for himself. After the Explosive Flame was unleashed, a loud "boom" resonated, drawing the attention of all the candidates, only to find that the table had collapsed while the iron plate remained completely unscathed.

My face felt damp, and as I groggily opened my eyes, I realized it was the black dragon licking me. I smiled and patted its large head, saying, "Good boy, what time is it now?" Only after speaking did I realize it wouldn't answer me. I fed it some food, then returned to the inn to take a shower and have a hearty meal, before going back to my room to continue playing chess with the King of Dreams.

Fengyun exclaimed, "You are truly a wealthy person. Let's go have breakfast, and then we need to attend class. On the first day of class, we must not be late."

I asked curiously, "How do you know so much about the college? Aren't you a freshman as well?"

Director Zhang said impatiently: "Alright, but you will have to pay more, 3 gold coins per month." He is quite greedy; the tuition for half a year is only 20 gold coins, and the stable rent is almost the same. Fortunately, I still have quite a bit of money. Before I left, my father gave me a gold card from the Dragon God Empire, which contains 5,000 gold coins, enough for my needs.

Zhang Feng walked up to Zixue and asked, "Are you alright, Zixue? In the future, please do not be so reckless"

Fengyun Dao: "Oh, then your life must be quite difficult, two fiery brothers. You can stay in the bunk beds here; how do you distinguish between you two since you look so alike?"

Recalling my expensive stable, I said with a wry smile: "I spent 18 gold coins to rent a stable for one semester"

After finishing breakfast, Fengyun parted ways with us at the main teaching building. He has a class in Room 104, while we are in Room 106

I handed him the key, and he said: "6-3-4, great, we are in the same dormitory, it's room 4 on the 3rd floor of building 6, let's go, I just came out from there"

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and Fengyun interjected, "Let's go eat, I'm already hungry."

In front of the playground, there is a row of tables, on which lies a large iron plate approximately three centimeters thick, with the supervising teacher seated behind the tables

He is indeed fierce; it's the first time I've seen someone so fierce towards Zixue

When my finger was just two centimeters away from the iron plate, I felt an invisible airflow preventing me from pressing down any further. Suddenly, I realized that there was more to this than met the eye; it wasn't going to be that simple. I gradually concentrated the energy of the Thunderbolt Disarmament onto my index finger and shouted, "Break!" I pressed down with force. I could feel the intense friction between my finger and the airflow, as my finger pressed down bit by bit. The resilience of the airflow exceeded my expectations, and the iron plate gradually formed an increasingly deep mark due to the inward concavity of the airflow.

Lying on the bed, I looked at the ceiling less than 1 meter away from my face, thinking that the first step of the task had finally been taken. From now on, it would be about learning and practicing more. I calmed my mind and began to cultivate my Heavenly Demon Technique. In order not to be discovered by them, I could only practice while lying down. Although it was somewhat uncomfortable, the results were still quite good.

Yes, the academy has more than 2,000 people, among whom the eight most beautiful women include Zixue, who ranks sixth. I will introduce the others to you when we meet later.

The invigilator was momentarily taken aback before responding, saying: "Alright, I have been supervising exams for so many years, and I have never encountered anyone as powerful as you. What technique did you just use? How did your fingers turn black?" He casually noted his evaluation of me on the roster. Due to my tall stature, I was able to see it clearly; I glanced at it and it seemed to say something about penetrating iron plates, indicating that the candidate possesses immense strength

The proctor's mouth has already formed an O shape, because even he finds it difficult to break through this barrier, yet I, as a freshman, have managed to do so

I sighed and said, "Is there any way? Am I not going to rent it? The Black Dragon cannot do without me, so it doesn't matter."

All the new students gradually separated. I thought to myself, since I am here to learn, it would be better to learn a little bit of everything, so I decided to stand in the middle. The majority were studying martial arts, making up half of the students, while there were over 100 studying magic, and only a little over 40 were dual-cultivating both martial arts and magic. Subsequently, the classes were divided into six groups: three for martial arts, two for magic, and one for dual cultivation.

Twenty candidates stood unevenly on the playground. After about the time it takes to have a meal, a few older teachers arrived, likely holding higher positions.

The one in front said: "Yes, I am of the Fire element, and he is from Mars. We are twins from Kun City."

Is Lei Xiang also proficient in both magic and martial arts? What kind of magic are you studying

One of the teachers, dressed in a magical robe and in his fifties, said: "Alright, everyone quiet down. I am Zhang Feng, the Director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Academy. Congratulations to all of you for being admitted to our institution. Now, let us welcome our esteemed Archmage, Dean Yuehan, to address everyone." From the voice, I recognized that he was the one who made the announcement.

Fengyun主动打招呼说："Do you also live in this dormitory?"

Upon hearing that I needed to pay more, the head of the teaching department's eyes immediately lit up. He thought for a moment and said, "Bring your horse tomorrow, and I will arrange for it to be placed in the teachers' stable." After saying this, he turned to leave. Are all teachers like this nowadays? So interested in money.

Warren's eyes seemed about to pop out as he shouted: "You ... ... "

Many candidates turned around with their heads down and left, while the other groups had mostly completed their announcements. Only three hundred candidates who passed the exam remained on the field

The candidate, upon witnessing this situation, realized there was no hope, and turned away in a mix of laughter and tears. Many other candidates began to laugh as well. Even more absurd was the invigilator, who, while writing comments on the candidates, muttered to himself: "How is it that I encountered such monsters today, one breaking the iron board and another burning the desk, truly..."

As I was about to leave with Ma, several senior students suddenly emerged from the side. The leader, who stood over 1.8 meters tall, was quite handsome, but his eyes revealed a violent nature. He reached out to stop me and said, "Quickly apologize to Miss Zixue; do you think you can just leave after scaring her?"

I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Dark Demon Technique. Dark magic cannot be easily used in the Dragon God Empire; although there are dark magicians here, their numbers are very few. If discovered, I might be accused of being a spy sent by the demon race due to my use of dark magic. After two hours of cultivation, the dark power within me had reached its peak state. I raised my right hand and chanted: "O great God of Darkness, with my soul as a sacrifice, with my life as a bridge, grant me your endless divine power, form a solid barrier, and protect your servant. After two hours of cultivation, the dark power within me had reached its peak state. I raised my right hand and chanted: "O great God of Darkness, with my soul as a sacrifice, with my life as a bridge, grant me your endless divine power, form a solid barrier, and protect your servant. -- Dark Barrier."

Who is this fellow, such great strength

Fengyun said happily: "So from now on we will be roommates. I am Fengyun, from Hailing City. He is Lei Xiang. Ah, right, Lei Xiang, where are you from?"

My horse is quite spirited, so it would be best to arrange a separate stable for it; otherwise, I am afraid it might kick and injure other horses

Upon entering the academy, I headed straight to the teaching building and instructed Black Dragon to wait for me outside. I needed to complete my enrollment procedures first before returning to settle it. I arrived at the administration office and knocked on the door, to which Director Zhang's voice responded, "Come in"

I believe I should have passed, so I stopped observing the other candidates, walked to the side, found a shaded spot under a tree, and sat down, breathing in the fragrance of the plants while waiting for the results to be announced

I let out a sound of "en."

The candidates on the playground erupted into scattered applause. An old wizard, approximately sixty or seventy years old, stepped forward, cleared his throat twice, and said: "I am the dean of this academy. First of all, on behalf of the academy, I welcome you as first-year students. Secondly, I hope that in your future studies, you will not shy away from hard work, strive for progress, and aim to improve yourselves as quickly as possible. The academy has produced over 230 dragon knights and is known as the foremost academy of the Dragon God Empire (later I learned that each of the four academies claims to be the best). I hope that among you, there will be those who can earn this honorable title. Lastly, and this is my requirement for all of you, it is strictly prohibited to engage in romantic relationships at school. Alright, my speech is finished." He then turned and returned to the teaching building.

Ah! We are quite fated to meet, a wind and a thunder. By the way, I haven't thanked you for that day yet. The method you taught me is truly effective; I managed to hammer the iron plate over 1 centimeter deep.

Upon returning to the dormitory, the three of them were already awake. Seeing me back, Fengyun asked, "Lei and Tushuxiang, where did you go so early?"

As the incantation is chanted, a thick black mist begins to envelop me, starting 1 meter in front of me. This is the most powerful dark magic I can currently wield. It resembles the dark barrier of a dark sorcerer, but its defensive capability is significantly stronger, sufficient to withstand attacks from intermediate-level magic.

I led the black dragon to Tiandu Academy, and as soon as we arrived at the entrance, we were stopped by the gatekeeper

She is, after all, the princess in the hearts of many in the academy, a second-year student, and one of the campus beauties, with numerous admirers. However, the academy does not permit dating, so she remains unattached to this day. What, have you taken a liking to her?

I followed him out of the teaching building, and just as we reached the entrance, we were startled by a crowd of dozens of students gathered there, most of whom were whispering to each other

At that moment, two individuals entered from outside. To my surprise, they looked exactly alike. Is this what human twins are like? I pondered silently.

When I woke up, it was already midnight. I stretched my muscles and went to the yard to practice the Thunderstorm Thirteen Fists. After a day of rest, my physical strength had basically recovered. If it weren't for the dark energy of the Heavenly Demon Technique these past two days, I probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed now, even if I managed to hold on. I wonder how the other candidates are doing.

The voice from last time sounded again: "Dear candidates, today is the re-examination. This re-examination will select three hundred individuals from among you 1,000. I hope everyone can demonstrate their true abilities. There will be an invigilator at the front of each line, so please proceed with the test in the order of your numbers."

Hello, Lei Xiang, you are quite tall, such height is rare among humans

I have learned to observe equestrianism, and your horse should be just over 1 year old. Your Black Dragon is the best horse I have ever seen

Feng Yun's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "18 gold coins, the academy is really too greedy."

A clear voice rang out, "Wait a moment, Warren, why are you causing trouble again? Hurry up and leave, I won't hold it against you, otherwise you will have to go to the disciplinary office and stand there as punishment."

Ah? How did you get into the Magic Warrior class without having studied magic?

I used my strong arms to push through the crowd and entered. As I expected, the one surrounded was the Black Dragon. Everyone was commenting on it, and there was a bold girl who wanted to go over and touch it, saying, "Hello, little black horse" (I almost fainted; the Black Dragon is over 2 meters long and 2.4 meters tall, and she calls it a little black horse; how naive can she be?). "Do you have an owner? Can I touch you?" Just as I was about to stop her, I was still a step too late.

Hello, dear readers. I would like to clarify that this book is quite different in style from "Light." At the same time, the protagonist of this book will not remain in the academy for an extended period like the Son of Light. Lei Xiang enters the Tian Du Academy primarily to complete a mission, and he will leave the academy in the second volume. The subsequent content will be even more exciting, and I welcome everyone to read it

Alright, you may leave first, everyone else can disperse as well. Lei Xiang, come with me

His mysterious smile, as he rubbed his thumb and index finger together with a sly grin, said: "Hehe, money is omnipotent. It took me a month's worth of earnings from my job to get this done"

I opened my eyes and realized that everyone had finished the exam, wandering in groups on the playground. I walked to the place where I was supposed to stand, thinking to myself that this time I would surely pass.

Yes

After the class division was completed, the director of education said: "Alright, the class division is finished. Today, everyone should go back and tidy up your belongings. Tomorrow, bring your daily necessities to the academy for registration. From now on, except during holidays, you are not allowed to go home and must stay at the academy. You may disperse now."

Zhang Fengdao: "Alright, stop the noise. If you keep arguing, you will all be put in confinement."

Alright, I hereby announce the list of those who have passed this examination: Lei Xiang, passed. Hua Song, passed. ... ..." He read out more than 10 names in succession. The invigilator closed the register in hand and said: "Those whose names have been called may stay, while those not called may leave. If you are under 18 years old, you may come back to take the exam next year"

I shot a glance at Zixue again, and she was also looking at me. Our eyes met, and Zixue quickly lowered her head, a blush appearing on her face, her expression exuding an indescribable cuteness. I was momentarily stunned, and it was only upon hearing Director Zhang's call that I turned around, took hold of Heilang, and followed him.

I had already prepared my words, saying: "I learned this from an old man; he said it is called Xuantian Finger. I didn't expect it would come in handy today"

Indeed, the invigilator just walked over, accompanied by the candidate who had set the desk on fire. That candidate made a successful gesture towards me.

Lei Xiang
