Chapter Eleven: The Mysterious Number Nine

  As time passed, the assessment was nearing its end, and one after another, the disciples' figures flashed out, each with a tired expression, but with an excited smile on their faces.

  After all, I passed the assessment!

  On the high platform, Chi Yue Shan obviously enjoyed rubbing salt in the wound and jokingly said: "Out of thousands of people who took the assessment, only fifty passed, this probability is too low! I remember that last month's assessment at Ru Feng Academy had two hundred people pass!"

  Upon hearing this, You Yan couldn't help but smile wryly.

  "Director, it's not fifty people, you see there are still six people in the Luansheng Valley." said Wu Zhuo elder with a smile.

  Under his reminder, both Chi Yue and You Yan looked at the Starry Sky Chart, only to see that amidst the flashing light, there were still six blue lights flickering, apparently there were still six disciples being tested in the Luansheng Valley.

  Dean You Yan's eyes lit up: 'Being able to hold on for an hour later, the talents of these six disciples are not bad!'

  "Hmm, then the six disciples should have reached the Spiritual Qi Four Realms, indeed not bad. The Red Moon Mountain rarely gave out words of praise, and even after holding on for an hour, it was extremely rare in the Confucian Wind Academy."

  On the square, whether it was the disciples being tested, the inner door disciples, or the cultivators of Wangyue City, they were all quietly looking at the Star Map, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

  Six paths of blue light, who supported it for a longer time?

  A moment later, three more young men walked out, under the gaze of the crowd. The three young men were somewhat surprised and delighted, but soon puffed out their chests, feeling extremely proud in their hearts.

  "Tan Fu and Xiu are two names, while Shu Xiu is one name. Not bad!" You Yan praised.

  Chi Yue Shan's gaze flashed: 'That little guy who cultivates the Dao is not bad, as for Dan Fu... it's common knowledge that with a Ling symbol, the assessment is actually extremely simple. So if those two little guys have money at home, it's not impossible to hold on for two hours!'

  You Yan nodded and continued to look at the starry sky map: 'Thirty-sixth, ninth and fifty-fourth, let's take a look at their strength!'

  After a while, the fourth young man flashed out of the rock wall again. However, he was only three incense sticks away from the two-hour mark. The young man regretfully waved his fist.

  But seeing the astonished eyes around him, the young man still proudly puffed out his chest.

  Along with this, the Luansheng Valley was left with only two people, who were exactly the 36th and 9th disciples of the assessment.

  "Thirty-sixth, Director, if we're wrong, it must be Chen Guo. That little guy is a first-rate cultivator and has probably reached the peak of the fourth realm of spiritual energy. He's likely to be the strongest among this batch of disciples being assessed." Elder Wu Zhuo suddenly said with a smile.

  "Is this the peak of the four realms of spiritual energy?" Yu Yanha laughed and asked, "Finally met a good seedling in this assessment of disciples. What about number nine?"

  "This is not clear at all!"

  Wu Zhuo shook his head, he was also puzzled by No. 9's sudden emergence as a dark horse.

  At this moment, the starlight above flashed, and on the 36th small path, the blue starlight simultaneously faced three red starlights. After a brief confrontation, all three red starlights retreated in defeat.

  What does this represent?

  This is a one-on-three battle, simultaneously challenging three explosive monkeys!

  In an instant, the entire square was in an uproar!

  On the high platform, You Yan also burst out laughing, while Chi Yue Shan, rarely speechless, simply stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming.

  The spiritual energy of the four realms has reached its peak, and with one battle, three can be defeated. This is extremely rare, after all, the opponent is not a cultivator, but a demon beast. The nature of the demon beast is violent and crazy, unless your strength surpasses many others, otherwise the demon beast will generally not retreat, but instead launch a crazy attack!

  After the No. 36 won the first three, everyone's attention turned to No. 9. However, compared to No. 36 Chen Guo, No. 9 was much more low-key. At least when he stayed in the Chaotic Evil Canyon, he didn't encounter the red light.

  That's right, the ninth assessment disciple still hasn't encountered the explosive monkey!

  This bizarre scene immediately made many people suspicious.

  To know that the assessment is calculated by time, if No. 9 can escape or hide for a while, it can avoid the explosive monkey and delay the time.

  For a moment, some of his disciples' eyes turned red with anger, never expecting that No. 9 could last for two hours by resorting to such despicable means.

  Among the countless people who were puzzled, only a white-clothed girl sneered and said in a soft voice: 'Number 9, that's our way, hum, that's Ye Ming Shixiong, he can take down two with one move.'

  Of course she was very strong in Ye Ming, but why Ye Ming didn't encounter Huo Bao Hou later, she wasn't clear about it either.

  Whoosh!

  Two hours later, a light flashed in front of the rock wall, and the figure of the young man appeared. It was Chen Guo. After persisting in the battle for two hours, although he was still unscathed, his spiritual power had been exhausted.

  "Not bad, two hours, slightly better than I expected!"

  Muttering to himself, Chen Guo looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him. The crowd of disciples even erupted in a wave of cheers, which made him smile proudly.

  At this time, a faint voice came from the platform.

  "You're Chen Guo? You can last for two hours, that's rare!"

  The voice was indeed from You Yan, and at this moment, he had a faint smile on his face, with a strong sense of appreciation in his eyes!

  Upon hearing this, Chen Guo's heart was stirred beyond compare. To receive the Dean's personal praise was an unparalleled honor, and today's assessment had also made a big name for himself.

  At the moment of surprise, his eyes swept across the starry sky map in the air, and suddenly his face changed, and he was stunned.

  Is there still someone in Luanling Valley? Am I not the first one?

  In the midst of astonishment, Chen Guo returned to the assessment group of disciples. In his heart, he was neither happy nor puzzled. What made him unhappy was that someone had taken the first place, making himself only second. What puzzled him was that in the assessment group of disciples, his strength was actually the strongest, and those who persisted longer than him, how could it be possible?

  "Elder Chen, don't worry, that disciple is not as strong as you. So far, we haven't seen him encounter the Fire Explosion Monkey, probably using some underhanded method to hide and drag out time!" said Cang Fei disdainfully.

  The rest of the disciples also strongly agreed, if that mysterious No. 9 can persist with real strength, they have nothing to say, but now it's obvious that he is relying on unconventional means, how can they convince themselves?

  On the high platform, You Yan and others were also puzzled and furrowed their brows. Until now, that No. 9 still hadn't encountered the Fire Explosion Monkey. This strange thing was completely unprecedented since the Gan Ting Academy's assessment began!

  "Lao Chi, have you ever encountered something like this before?" Yu Yan asked, looking at him sideways.

  Chi Yue Shan shook his head and said, "Fireworks Monkey is a hot-tempered guy. If he encounters humans, they will definitely fight. Since the mysterious little guy No. 9 didn't encounter Fireworks Monkey, there's only one possibility left - that is, relying on unconventional skills to hide his figure and avoid Fireworks Monkey!"

  Upon hearing this, You Yan nodded his head, and indeed it was possible. Then he straightened his face, originally thinking that No. 9 was a dark horse, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a side door, which clearly broke the rules of the assessment.

  At this moment when countless people were in a state of confusion, Ye Ming was sprinting wildly through the forest.

  During this period, his actual combat ability has been greatly improved. Since the last time he won with one war and two, he has even tried to win with one war and three, and even with one war and four. However, one war and four is Ye Ming's limit, and he does not dare to fight head-on, but instead chooses to fight in a flexible manner!

  Of course, if he uses his trump card, Hundred Violent Fists, Ye Ming believes that defeating five at once is not impossible!

  Yan Xiaoye didn't intend to leave, but instead grabbed Huobao Hou to practice his skills!

  "Damn beast, don't run!"

  "Wait for me, it's just a fight!"

  Ye Ming darted between the dense branches, while in front of him, a massive Fire Blast Monkey fled in panic, its face revealing an expression as if it had seen a ghost. The feeling was as if what was chasing it wasn't a youth, but a powerful demon beast!

  Chirp! Chirp!

  In the blink of an eye, that explosive monkey vanished!

  Ye Mingren was on the branch, but with a glance, he saw another big tree nearby, and another Fire Explosive Monkey came out. However, when that Fire Explosive Monkey saw Ye Mingren, its mouth opened wide, and its monkey face actually broke out in cold sweat!

  Chirp! Chirp!

  That explosive monkey fled like a startled rabbit, vanishing in the blink of an eye!

  "This..."

  Ye Ming was stunned again. Isn't Huo Bao a violent and cruel person? He ran away without even fighting? What's going on here?

  He didn't know that during this period of time, he had completely intimidated the Fire Monkey, and now in the forest, the Fire Monkey group has spread the word: a perverted teenager has appeared in the forest, with infinite strength and agility. If you encounter the teenager, immediately escape and avoid his edge, otherwise it will be a tragic ending!

  The Fire Monkey may be a demon beast, but its intelligence is by no means low!

  Buddy, can you throw your recommendation to Da Ling Wang? Xian Yu no longer needs recommendation votes, thank you!
