Chapter 54: Ning City's Hook Girl

  Ning Cheng didn't bother with this guy who was testing his spiritual roots, distinguishing himself from such people was simply a waste of saliva.

  This person who tested the Ling Root obviously didn't give up, and continued to chatter behind Ning Cheng's back, "Still thinks she's one of the Yue siblings, pfft!"

  "With two geniuses like Yuan Hua and Yue Ying already being against the heavens, how can there possibly be a third? This comparison is not appropriate." Someone immediately retorted beside him.

  Ning Cheng didn't have the mood to listen to this person's nonsense and quickly walked out of the Spiritual Roots Testing Hall.

  More and more people are gathering at Mingpu Square, and more people have already entered the Mingxin Academy. Ningcheng followed the crowd to the entrance of the Mingxin Academy, but found that these people were just holding wooden plaques in their hands, and no one was checking them. He thought that entering the Mingxin Academy didn't require a wooden plaque at all, when he saw several people being bounced out directly at the gate.

  "You dare to enter Mingxin Academy without a wooden plaque? Get out!" A guard at the entrance of the academy sneered and shouted.

  Ning Cheng suddenly understood that there was an array formation at the entrance of the academy. He took out the wooden sign in his hand and looked at it, and indeed it was a simple entry array flag. The simple array flag had four fine lines carved on it, presumably indicating that he had four spiritual roots.

  Mingxin Academy doesn't seem to be much bigger than Cangqin Academy, but as soon as Ning entered the academy, he immediately felt a difference between this place and Cangqin Academy. The spiritual energy here is much denser than Cangqin Academy, it seems that there should be a spirit gathering array outside Mingxin Academy. A large area of spiritual energy around Nan yuan city has been absorbed into Mingxin Academy.

  This kind of student selection activity is often seen in any college, it's just that the scale of this time's Mingxin College is relatively large. Ning Cheng had an experience of participating once and squeezed into a corner early on. He just wanted to see if An Yi was good or not. In this occasion, with An Yi's spiritual root, he must have the qualifications to appear.

  So many people crowded in the vast square that Ning Cheng didn't need to hide himself, and absolutely no one would notice him.

  At the same time, Ning Cheng also noticed that in front of the main stage of Ming Xin Academy Square, there were three empty spaces. These three empty spaces were divided by three different colored lines. Everyone who came to the square stood outside these three colored lines, and no one dared to stand within the colored lines in front of the main stage.

  Ning Cheng estimated that this was another rule he didn't know about, fortunately, like many others, he wasn't here to participate in the selection. Following the majority and standing with them wouldn't be a problem.

  After waiting for more than half a time, people finally started going up to the podium one after another. Ning Cheng soon saw Lan Yueyue, who was walking in the middle position, indicating that her status at Ming Xin Academy was only mediocre.

  The one walking in the front was a man with gray clothes and a square face, who looked rough and seemed to be very reckless. Ning City knew that this must be just a superficial phenomenon. This person could walk in the front, perhaps he was the principal of Ming Xin Academy. Beside him was an extremely elegant middle-aged man, in Ning City's view, the cultivation of these two people far surpassed Lan Yin Yue.

  When the seats on the main stage were all filled, Ning Cheng furrowed his brow. He hadn't seen An Yi anywhere. However, Ning Cheng wasn't anxious yet either. Because he also hadn't seen any of the other students, nor had he seen that student from last time, Jin Linggen.

  After everyone sat down, the one who stood up to speak was actually Lan Yinyue. Lan Yinyue walked to the front of the stage and swept a glance over the densely packed crowd before speaking in a crisp voice, "I believe that the best people from all over Pingzhou are gathered here today. I'm sure many of you already know that this isn't just Ming Xin Academy's individual recruitment. That's right, this time our Ming Xin Academy is recruiting for the five-star academies of Huazhou..."

  Even though many people who came here already knew that it was Huazhou's Five-Star Academy recruiting, when they heard Lan Yinyue confirm it again, the crowd still became enthusiastic and excited, as if they were about to be selected to go to Huazhou immediately.

  After the noise below subsided a bit, Lan Yueyue continued to say, "Because the Five-Star Academy is extremely strict in recruiting disciples, it not only requires excellent spiritual roots but also strong strength. Although all those who come here are the best of my Pingzhou, there are only fifty people who can go to Huazhou. Those who can really be selected by the Five-Star Academy are less than ten."

  Everyone knows this is reality, if Wuzhou's five-star academy was that easy to get into, it wouldn't be called a five-star academy.

  "But don't be discouraged, I'm from Pingzhou, a land of talented people. Top-notch excellent disciples aren't unheard of either. In Pingzhou, there are several three-star academies, but I can guarantee that none of them are as strong as our Mingxin Academy. We've already found four pure spiritual root disciples, including two main spiritual root disciples. Even the five-star academy in Huazhou wouldn't dare say they have two main spiritual root disciples..."

  Lan Yin Yue's words caused another stir, with all sorts of emotions, envy, jealousy...

  "Then when selecting for Ming Xin Academy, isn't it enough to choose just forty-six people?"

  "Forty-six names? You must be dreaming. Ming Xin Academy has, apart from these few pure spiritual root disciples, ten core disciples, and aside from the ten core disciples, there are also some disciples with very high qualifications. We being able to have thirty spots for selection is already not bad."

  All sorts of discussions arose, and no one thought that with so many people competing for the 50 places, even if there were no pure spiritual roots, whether they would be able to get a place.

  "Everyone quiet down, this time apart from selecting fifty people to go to Huazhou, our Mingxin College also needs to recruit students. We are recruiting one thousand students this time, so everyone has a chance."

  The square was quiet again, and everyone in their hearts thought that even if they didn't have the opportunity to go to Wuzhou's five-star college, it would be good to stay at Mingxin Three-Star College.

  "Please have the main spirit root and no more than three branch spirit roots step inside the first colored line."

  Lan Yinyue finished speaking, and immediately nearly three thousand people entered the first colored line. Ning Cheng only then understood what the colored lines were for - they were used to select students.

  "Don't worry if you didn't get into the first colored line, there will be a supplementary selection later. Now please ask the main spirit root that is yellow and has reached five feet to enter inside the second colored line."

  Lan Yin Yue did not forget to comfort the majority of students who came to Ming Xin College for the election, some of whom have been away from home for nearly half a year. If they don't even have the opportunity to be selected, they will definitely be very unhappy.

  The first colored line had more than 3,000 students, but only a little over 100 people entered the second colored line. Ning Cheng let out a breath of relief, although he didn't have a main spiritual root, his four branch spiritual roots were all over four feet long.

  The selection behind Ning City was no longer of interest to him, he knew that this selection still had a process, at this time most people in Mingxin Academy were watching the selected disciples, it was when he went to find An Yi.

  Ning Cheng carefully squeezed out of the crowd and slowly left the selection square.

  ……

  Most people from Mingxin Academy have indeed gone to the academy square, and Ning Cheng is far away from the academy square, but unexpectedly, not a single person has been met.

  Ning Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was just thinking about which direction to find An Yi in when a faint gaze swept past him. This gaze carried a hint of cold-blooded killing intent, causing Ning Cheng's body to stiffen slightly.

  It only took a moment for Ning Cheng to understand what was going on, and at the same time, he silently cursed himself for being foolish. This wasn't just a gaze, it was divine sense. This was the Ming Heart Three Stars Academy, and obviously there were Yuan Building Masters here. A Yuan Building Master's divine sense could be released externally, but this person was alone and hadn't gone to the academy's plaza, instead appearing in this place, which was already suspicious.

  At first, it was not because of luck that Ji Luofei's aunt was able to find him and Ji Luofei, but because her aunt was a Zhuzhuan cultivator, whose divine sense could extend over very long distances.

  Just as Ning Cheng was getting anxious, a girl wearing a pink dress and with a cultivation at the sixth layer of Qi Gathering appeared from afar. Ning Cheng didn't hesitate for even half a moment before rushing over to her, his face filled with surprise as he exclaimed, "Sister, I really didn't expect to find you here."

  The girl obviously didn't expect someone to suddenly stop her, and she stared at Ning Cheng, whom she didn't recognize, in a daze.

  Ning Cheng hastily said, "Sister, I am Ning Xiao Cheng from the Medicine Refining Department. Last time, I saw you from afar and couldn't forget it. This time, our Ming Xin Academy is taking students with excellent qualifications to Huazhou, but I didn't see Sister in the square. So I'm afraid that Sister will be going to Huazhou, and afterwards, I won't even have a chance to speak with her, so I've come to find Sister with a thick face."

  After Ning Cheng finished saying these words without batting an eyelid, he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him wasn't unattractive at all. Not only was she not unattractive, her face was flushed with a rosy glow, and even her eyes had a hint of spring in them.

  "Ah……" The red-dressed girl seemed to have never thought that she was also secretly admired by a handsome guy. Although she didn't know Ning Cheng, his words made her feel a sense of satisfaction. Most importantly, this very good-looking guy was from the pharmaceutical department.

  "I actually don't even know what Shifu's name is." Ning Cheng said this as he felt the divine sense behind him still lingering around his body.

  Ning Cheng secretly thought that he was lucky. If it wasn't for the help of the Xuan Huang Pearl, or if he hadn't been able to sense someone scanning him with their divine consciousness.

  "My name is Su Zhu, are you really from the Medicine Refining Department?" The red color on the face of the woman in the red skirt faded a bit, but the spring-like intention at the corner of her eyes was still there. However, the tone of this sentence already carried some surprise, making one listen and know that the Medicine Refining Department is very popular.

  At the Ming Xin Academy, Ning Cheng only knew of one Alchemy Department. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have said that he was from the Alchemy Department. Now that Su Zhu asked, he hastily nodded and said, "Of course, I'm on very good terms with Instructor Yin Wen Guang, and I've received a lot of guidance from Instructor Wen Guang."

  "Are you really close to Wen Guang?" At this time, Su Zhu's expression was no longer just surprise, but also with a hint of being flattered. Ning Cheng, such a person, actually had a crush on her.

  Ning Cheng immediately said, "Yes, my qualifications are ordinary, I'm afraid you'll leave the Ming Xin Academy, so I came to find you in a hurry. It's really fate that brought us together, I didn't expect to see you here."

  Su Zhu looked around and suddenly whispered to Ning Cheng, "My qualifications can't be selected either, why don't we go to my place to talk?"

  After finishing speaking, Su Zhu surprisingly took the initiative to hold Ning Cheng's hand.

  Ning Cheng didn't expect there to be such an proactive girl, this was also too easy. Fortunately, what made him let out a sigh of relief was that the faint divine sense behind him had finally disappeared.

  The second update is sent out, and the gate of creation continues to request support.
