Chapter Sixteen Entering the Inner Court

  When Ye Ming arrived at the square, the young men had already waited impatiently. These young men had all passed the assessment, but when they saw Ye Ming, they rarely opened their mouths.

  If it were in the past, Ye Ming would be the last to arrive, and these disciples who passed the assessment would inevitably make things difficult for him. However, it's different now. He was first in the assessment and defeated Chen Guo...

  To put it bluntly, they want to make things difficult, but they can't beat Ye Ming!

  "Are you all here? Follow me!"

  In a moment, Wu Zhuo arrived, took a glance around and walked forward with big strides.

  On the edge of the square, a winding dragon-like staircase extends upwards, its endpoint being the inner courtyard of Gan Tang Academy. If the outer courtyard is said to be on the halfway up the mountain, then the inner courtyard is at the summit.

  The crowd of young people were excited and emotional, after a long time, when they finally reached the top of the stairs, they all stood there with their mouths agape in astonishment.

  All around, buildings stood tall and people bustled about, the vast square shimmering with a dazzling array of colors. Many young men clad in green shirts were practicing their spiritual techniques.

  There were men and women, each with an air of refinement, profound and unfathomable.

  In the past, when assessing disciples, none of them were qualified to enter the inner courtyard. Now that I take a look, this inner courtyard indeed has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. At least any young man on the square is absolutely stronger than myself.

  "The assessment is just the beginning, representing that you have been recognized by Ganting Academy, the true path of the strong, now it's just starting!"

  Wu Zhuo's eyes swept lightly: "In the inner courtyard, those with extraordinary talents are not uncommon. The rise and fall of geniuses is a common occurrence, and being ranked first in the assessment is also unavoidable!"

  His words were obviously directed at Ye Ming, but at this moment Ye Ming seemed to have not heard them, still looking around.

  There were some who really looked the part, causing Wu Zuo to hum softly and continue: "In the inner courtyard, there are four classes of Tian Di Xuan Huang. You will be assigned to one of these four classes. Follow me!"

  With his disciples continuing on, they soon arrived at an ancient grand hall. The disciples entered one after another, reported their names, exchanged for their disciple identity jade cards, and were also assigned to different classes.

  Ye Ming followed the crowd and walked out of the grand hall. In his hand, he had an additional green jade plaque with the character "Huang" engraved on the front side, while the back side had his own name.

  "I heard that Gan Ting Academy has three great elders, all of whom were assigned by the Baiyue State's Ding Tian Palace. They are Wu Zhuo Elder, Gu Le Elder, and Zhang Rou Elder. These three elders are in charge of teaching classes."

  There were young people who had already inquired clearly and talked about it immediately.

  Suddenly many young men curiously gathered around, one of whom said: "Brother Chen, which classes are taught by the three senior elders?"

  That young man smiled: "The teacher of the Tianzi class is Wu Zhuo, this class is the best. As long as you are a disciple of the Tianzi class, you can get ten low-grade yuan stones per month, which is issued by the academy."

  "The teacher of the Earth Character Class is Elder Gu Le, who is a Dan Xiu cultivator. Although he usually doesn't interfere with worldly affairs, he often refines and gives out dan medicines to his disciples. In this class, one can obtain seven pieces of low-grade yuan stones per month."

  "The head of the Xuanzi class is Zhang Rou. This elder is quite ordinary, but I've heard he's very fierce. This class can get five low-grade yuan stones per month."

  As soon as the voice fell, all the young men looked at the jade cards in their hands, and some were delighted while others sighed.

  It's obvious that in the four classes of Tiandi Xuanhuang, everyone wants to go to the Tian class. After all, apart from the 10 low-grade yuan stones for a month, Mr. Wu Er is particularly generous with his dan medicines and spiritual plants. The only thing you need to do is listen to Mr. Wu Er's words.

  As for the land-based class, although there isn't a wealthy young master like Wu Er, at least the teacher is a Dan Xuan Xiu Da Zong Shi. Normally, he refines too many elixirs and giving some to you as rewards wouldn't be unusual.

  The Xuanzi class is just ordinary now.

  "Huh, why isn't there a Huangzi class? Who is the teacher of the Huangzi class?"

  Suddenly someone shouted, and Ye Ming also perked up his ears to listen, after all he was from Huang's class.

  "Haha, Huang Zibang? This is the worst class in the academy, with only three low-grade yuan stones per month. As for the teacher, I heard he's a guy who spouts nothing but theories." The young man chuckled and said.

  As soon as the voice fell, various whispers spread among the group of young people. No wonder Huang's class was at the bottom. The teacher not only didn't have a senior identity but also lacked real ability. Does he qualify to be a teacher?

  Ye Ming furrowed his brow, never expecting to be assigned to a class like this.

  "Haha, I'm in Tianzi class, that's great! Ye Ming, which class are you in?"

  By his side, Cang Fei was overjoyed and said that he had only passed the assessment with average results, but he didn't expect to receive such good treatment. Of course, he also knew that this was Wu Yuan's secret favoritism.

  At the same time, he also saw that Ye Ming was assigned to the top class, which made him extremely pleased.

  "Tsang Fei, no matter which class I'm in, but now beating you up should be a piece of cake."

  Ye Ming's icy eyes swept across Cang Fei.

  Those eyes startled Cang Fei to jump, previously too proud, and actually forgot that the current self is still not a match for Ye Ming. Now sprinkling salt on his wound, obviously looking for abuse!

  "Haha, I spoke too quickly, sorry, sorry, don't mind me, even if you're in the worst class, it can't drown out your brilliance..."

  Cang Fei nodded and bowed, while several young men nearby looked at him with disdain on their faces, but they also knew his character, so it wasn't surprising.

  "Alright, cut the crap!"

  Ye Ming waved his hand and thought that when dealing with this temporarily arrogant little person, he had to be strong, but now he was too lazy to care about Cang Fei.

  Cang Fei didn't dare to speak, his eyes flickering, secretly thinking: I'm in the Tianzi class, just give me some more time and I'll definitely surpass Ye Ming. Today's humiliation will be avenged tomorrow.

  "Yè Míng, why don't you go and report to the principal? You're the top scorer in the assessment, how can you be assigned to the worst class?"

  At this time, a young man beside him whispered, and he also felt sympathetic to Ye Ming's experience.

  Ye Ming smiled and said: "Whatever, let Yellow Character Class be Yellow Character Class then!"

  He knew in his heart that going to the Tianzi class would mean being in the same class as Wu Yuan, and it would be better not to go. Moreover, Dean had witnessed countless geniuses rise and fall, and he was just evaluating him first, so it would be strange if Dean valued himself!

  After a while of chatting, the examinees also dispersed and went back to their respective classes.

  At this moment, in the main hall, three figures sat quietly, who were the three senior elders of the academy.

  "I say, Old Wu, this batch of disciples has over 50 people, and your Tianzi class occupies more than 20 of them. Moreover, they are all quite talented. Are you not being too biased by giving the leftovers to us?"

  One of them, a woman in red, said sharply that she was Zhang Rou, an elder of the Xuanzi class.

  "Haha, this is the rule!"

  Wu Zhuo Lao smiled faintly: "My Tianzi class is a top-notch class, and every time the academy's task is the champion. Moreover, many top-notch inner courtyard disciples have been trained, and the academy has long had rules. Top-notch classes have priority selection rights, and the number of disciples is also more than other classes."

  "Zhang Changlao, you should be content with what you have. At least your Xuanzi class has over a dozen people, which is comparable to Gu Changlao's Dizibang class. The other party's class is above yours, but he didn't hold it against you. Do you have the nerve to speak up?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Rou's eyes changed slightly as he glanced at another elder, Gu Le, who had always remained uninvolved in worldly affairs, and ultimately fell silent.

  These three great elders all know the importance of their disciples, apart from being able to bring themselves honor, in the future at some point, if these disciples are lucky enough to become strong, they will also take care of them afterwards.

  The more disciples you have, the more help you get, and if you are a talented person, it will be even better for your reputation.

  Gu Le Chang didn't mind, as a Dan Fu Xiu, he valued more the disciples with excellent alchemy talent. He shook his head and said: "This time Huang Zi Ban only has two people, it seems a bit less, but the first place in the assessment actually went to Huang Zi Ban, this is quite unexpected for me. I remember that the Dean highly valued that disciple."

  "Two people? That's enough, does that crazy old man Feng Ge have the qualifications to teach his disciples? Hmph, he's just a useless person who only spouts theories, this will only mislead his disciples." Zhang Rou sneered immediately.

  Wu Zuo Lao smiled: "This can't be helped, sometimes it's not up to us to assign, those disciples don't want to go to the Huang character class either. As for being first in the assessment? Hehe, he is a famous martial artist, we three are not martial artists, who can teach him? That can only be assigned to the Huang character class!"

  Upon hearing this, the other two elder shook their heads.
