When Ning Cheng brought Ji Luofei to the Divine Wind Academy’s premises, Liu Xian rushed to welcome him. As a deacon with a Xuan Liquid cultivation level, even if Ning Cheng was a core disciple of the Divine Wind Academy, this attitude of Liu Xian towards Ning Cheng was considered polite and courteous.
What was strange to Ning Cheng was that he had not seen Zhu Mu’er. Just when Ning Cheng wanted to ask about Zhu Muer, suddenly a clear and decisive voice rang out from the side, “Deacon Liu, I would like to represent Divine Wind Academy in this Five Star Grand Competition.”
Ning Cheng saw that the person speaking was a female cultivator of the sixth level of True Condensation with a slightly dark complexion. However, her appearance was playful and a little prettier than Zhu Mu’er.
When Liu Xian saw this speaking female cultivator, he said with a bitter smile, “Meng Jingxiu, we have Ning Cheng as a point getter in the first round ……”
Hearing Meng Jingxiu, Ning Cheng immediately knew who the other party was, Meng Jingxiu was the seventh place winner of the preliminary written test and the one with the highest score in Divine Wind Academy before he had joined it.
“Deacon Liu, this competition is not a competition for Spiritual Root. It’s true that my Spiritual Root is slightly inferior, but even in the first round of the written test, I wouldn’t necessarily lose to him. At least, my seventy-one points came entirely from my own memory, and I hadn’t even read any of the basic chapters on talismans before.”
When Meng Jingxiu said this, he even gave Ning Cheng a special glance before continuing, “Even if I don’t score as the first round of the written test, I can still produce good results in the second and third rounds. If it comes to comprehension or in terms of fighting techniques, I am confident that I will not be inferior to anyone. Deacon Liu, you are a Xuan Liquid senior, you should know that my true essence is much stronger than the average sixth level Condensation cultivator.”
Ning Cheng didn’t even bother to interface, he also admired this Meng Jingxiu extremely in his heart, this woman’s purpose for joining the Divine Wind Academy should be similar to his. The Divine Wind Academy was the worst in terms of strength, and if he hadn’t joined, this Meng Jingxiu would definitely have represented the Divine Wind Academy in the great competition between the five-star academies. Now that he had joined, he had directly squeezed out Meng Jingxiu’s spot.
There was definitely only one purpose for Meng Jingxiu to participate in the Great Competition of the Divine Wind Academy, and that was to enter the Angry Axe Valley. This was a very thoughtful yes woman. Moreover, she was less than thirty and was not a pure spirit root, she had cultivated to the sixth level of Condensing Truth, and was definitely not an ordinary person.
Although Ji Luofei was very dissatisfied with Meng Jingxiu saying that Ning Cheng was inferior to her, she did not like to verbally argue with others over such frivolous matters, and only frowned a little before she stopped speaking. In her heart, she was still somewhat worried about the Shui family.
Liu Xian was also in a difficult position, he knew that Meng Jingxiu had joined the Divine Wind Academy just to enter the Angry Axe Valley. If Meng Jingxiu didn’t even qualify for the competition, with her qualifications she definitely wouldn’t get a place in the Raging Axe Valley. Even if the Divine Wind Academy ended up coming first, she would still not get the spot.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came next to Liu Xian and took out a letter and handed it to Liu Xian. After opening the letter and reading it, Liu Xian sighed secretly. He put the letter away and said to Meng Jingxiu, ”Since that’s the case, you can count yourself in. Ning Cheng you have the lowest cultivation level, just participate in the first two rounds, the third round will mainly be scored by Chu Yongxin, Gu Hong and Min Rui, and the second round’s score will be given to Meng Jingxiu.”
Meng Jingxiu just needed to be able to participate, she didn’t care as to who else participated, she believed in her own ability and was definitely not inferior to others. It was hard to get a place in the Angry Axe Valley, even if it was hard, she still had to make an effort.
Ning Cheng was even less likely to say anything more, and only after Liu Xian had identified five people did Ning Cheng pull Liu Xian to the side and say, “Deacon Liu, I had some minor conflicts with the Shui family this morning. While I was in the middle of the match, Deaconess Ji Luofei asked Deaconess Liu to help look after them.”
Liu Xian knew that Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei were not close, if their relationship was average, the two would not be living inside the same room. Now, after hearing Ning Cheng’s words, he immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, Luo Fei is also a disciple of my Divine Wind Academy, although my Divine Wind Academy is at the bottom of the five-star academy, it is not so bad that it fears a clan. By the way, what exactly did you have a conflict about this morning?”
Ning Cheng smiled awkwardly, “I killed a Shui Family disciple in the morning by the way, he dared to bully Concubine Luo, so I struck a little heavier.”
“Ah ……” Liu Xian suddenly felt a little bitter at the corner of his mouth, this was called a minor conflict? He had killed someone from the Shui family, it would be strange if the Shui family could stop.
“Why don’t you tell me what happened, so that I can be prepared.” After knowing that Ning Cheng had killed someone from the Shui Family, Liu Xian was also cautious, in case the Shui Family was looking for trouble, he wouldn’t be pa*sive.
Ning Cheng did not hide anything and told Ji Luofei’s matter completely, after listening to Ning Cheng, Liu Xian was relieved instead, “Since your side is reasonable, then during the Grand Competition, the Shui Family will not come over. After the Grand Competition, we are going back to Divine Wind Academy, so the Shui Family will not even come over. However, you should be careful of people retaliating when you and Luo Fei go out in the future, the Shui Family won’t be so nice.”
“I understand that, don’t worry Deacon Liu, I’m not a nice person to talk to either.” Ning Cheng smiled faintly, he had dared to slap Gu Fei when he faced Gu Yiming, who was much higher in cultivation than him, at the entrance of Cang Qin Academy. Now that his cultivation level had risen countless times, would his guts become smaller?
Liu Xian shook his head speechlessly, “I knew you weren’t a good talker.”
A person who was a good talker would definitely not have borrowed several knives to kill people in the process of choosing the Five Star Academy after coming first in the preliminary round.
The sound kyu suddenly rang out from Mo Ze’s Grand Square, “The first round of the Five Star Academy Grand Competition in the Huazhou Continent is about to begin, please send two representatives from each Five Star Academy to the main altar in the centre of the square, and ask all cultivators watching the competition to stand outside the competition area and wait for the results. Anyone who obstructs the competition will be killed.”
In the middle of the square, there was already a huge main altar, and in the middle of the main altar sat a man. When Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on this man, he immediately felt an inexplicable majesty and did not even dare to continue to look at this man, let alone estimate his cultivation level.
Despite this, Ning Cheng was certain that this man’s cultivation level should be inferior to that white-haired old crone, and he guessed that this man should have come from the middle level continent to preside over this Six Star Academy selection. On either side of the majestic man’s seat in a figure of eight, there were three people sitting on each side. Looking at the tables in front of the six people on each side, they should be the judges of the Grand Competition.
Below these seven men were the resident boards of the five Five Star Academies, with two representatives from each Five Star Academy sitting on them. The two from the Divine Wind Five Star Academy, apart from Deacon Liu Xian, were a woman with a cultivation level of Zhuyuan.
In front of the main altar was an immense square platform, and a glance at the surroundings of this square platform told Ning Cheng that the prohibitions were lined up. The rest of the cultivators who were spectating this Five Star Academy Competition could only be on the periphery of the main altar and the square platform.
On top of that, there were four huge formation projection screens in plain sight for all to see. According to the usual practice, everyone understood that these four formation projection screens should be the results of the first three rounds of the competition and the ranking of the final five Five Star Academies.
Sound Kei’s voice rang out once again, “The twenty-five participants, please enter the square platform and take any of the seats to prepare for the first round of the competition.”
It was only at this point that all the people in the square realised that this first round of the memory competition was taking place in full view of everyone.
As Yingui’s voice rang out, twenty-five more seats suddenly appeared on the square stage, each with a small table in front of it.
Just like the fifth written test Ning Cheng had taken earlier, there were two sheets of white paper and a pen placed on each of the twenty-five tables.
