Chapter 97: Joining Shenfeng Academy

  Before long, the middle-aged man who had taken down Ning City's Qingyun Order was brought to the grand stage. At this time, his face was pale and his whole body was trembling, where was the majesty of taking down Ning City's Qingyun Order?

  If he knew that Ning City's written test would result in a first-place score, it would be equivalent to ruining him, and he wouldn't dare do such a thing.

  "Hmph, Ming Fu Shi, Qing Yun Academy is indeed a mixed bag... with people like this existing, it's ultimately... *sigh*..." A woman from Lei Feng Academy intentionally let out a sigh, clearly trying to kick them while they're down. The implication being that Qing Yun Academy having people like this isn't exactly a good choice.

  Ming Hao's face turned iron-green as he stared at the man with a cultivation base of nine layers, "First hand over the Qingyun Order. The fact that our Qingyun Academy has a loser like you is already embarrassing."

  The middle-aged man who was cultivating his aura had just handed over the Qingyun Order, and before he could even defend himself, he was slapped into a meat pie by Ming Hao.

  After killing the Qi-gathering cultivator, Ming Hao's anger on his face instantly disappeared, as if nothing had happened. He smiled and returned the Qingyun Order to Ning Cheng, saying, "It's inevitable that there are some rotten apples in the Academy. Fortunately, this person was an outer sect disciple. The inner sect disciples of my Qingyun Academy are absolutely the elite among elites. In fact, you could have found him to reason with him at the time. If he dared to take away your Qingyun Order, you can directly tell any executive of the Qingyun Academy, and they will be able to solve this problem."

  Ning Cheng didn't mince words, the Qingyun Order was originally his to begin with. After thanking him, he took over the Qingyun Order and let out a sigh, saying, "Alas, I was explaining things at the time, but then Qingyun Academy's Zhu Yuan came, someone called Jing Shu Shu, who didn't want to listen to anything I had to say. He directly told me to get lost, saying this is Wuxing Academy and doesn't allow me to be long-winded. When I left, my heart was still very hurt. Qingyun Academy was a place I dreamed of going to in my sleep, but after this incident, the dreams in my heart were shattered."

  After hearing Ning Cheng's words, Ming Hao's face was no longer just pale with anger, he couldn't believe that the six-star academy had been kicked out by Qingyun Academy for a single point.

  At this time, he also didn't have the face to continue inviting Ning Cheng to join Qing Yun Academy. He directly said to Ning Cheng, "Ning Xiao Cheng, I'll go find that bastard now. If you want to join my Qing Yun Academy, you can come at any time, and absolutely don't need the Qing Yun Token."

  Ming Hao stepped out, and the only ones competing with Ning City were the other four colleges.

  "Ning Xiao Cheng, this time the number of pure spiritual root cultivators in our Meteorite Academy is the most. Why don't you join our Meteorite Academy?" A thin and weak man with a profound liquid cultivation base from the Meteorite Academy said to Ning Cheng and Yan, his tone as if a big grey wolf had spotted a small white rabbit.

  Ning Cheng hastily cupped his hands and replied, "Actually, before I decided to join Qing Yun Academy, I was planning to join Xian Xing Academy. I have a pure spirit root cousin who has already joined Xian Xing Academy, and I thought that if I could go to the same academy as my cousin, it would be even better..."

  "Your cousin is in Meteorite Academy, or is it Pure Spirit Root? What are you hesitating about, come join me at Meteorite Five-Star Academy too." The man with the mysterious liquid cultivation on his face revealed an excited emotion, what he saw was not Ning City, but a pile of scores.

  Ning Cheng sighed again, "My qualifications aren't as good as my cousin's, so I was rejected by Blue Yinyue of the Mingxin Academy. I didn't mind it much, as long as my cousin joined the Meteorite Academy. What I didn't expect was that Blue Yinyue started chasing me down everywhere, using the excuse that I would hinder my cousin's cultivation. With nowhere to escape, I could only flee into the Great Ancestor Forest.

  Fortunately, I coincidentally encountered a spiritual spring in the Da'an Forest, where I cultivated for nearly a year and unexpectedly reached the 9th layer of Qi gathering. Later, on Yuanzhou, I obtained a Condensing Pill from Master Sangda, and to my surprise, I successfully condensed my true self. Alas, if it weren't for this matter, my cousin and I would still be at the Stellar Academy, but now, I no longer have that thought.

  Ning Cheng said this to dig a hole for Lan Yue, and also to explain why his spiritual roots were inferior, yet he was able to cultivate so quickly. He didn't want to wait until others asked him about it later.

  The man who was cultivating the Xuan liquid heard Ning Cheng's words and suddenly became furious. A condensed true cultivator from Ming Xin Academy actually dared to obstruct the recruitment of the first place in the preliminary round of Yun Xing Academy. He didn't care that Ning Cheng wasn't the first at that time, as long as the consequences were caused by Lan Yue, he would make Lan Yue pay.

  Seeing Qingyun Academy and Meteorite Academy being rejected by Ning City at the same time, an elderly man from Shenfeng Academy who had been wanting to speak up stood up, "Ning Xiaocheng, I think Shenfeng Academy is the most suitable for you.

  "The Wind God Academy can not only provide you with a separate cave, but also let you enjoy the treatment of a core disciple. If your spiritual roots are somewhat lacking, you can come and go freely." The old man from the Wind God Academy said enthusiastically.

  Ning Cheng's heart moved, he understood the old man's meaning. Since he joined the Wuxing Academy through the preliminary written test, his spiritual root shouldn't be too good. In the Wuxing Academy, core disciples with good spiritual roots were all protected and restricted from going to certain places until they reached a certain level.

  Because among the top ten in the preliminary round, only one seventh place is in Shenfeng Academy, it can be said that Shenfeng Academy is the weakest in recruiting the top ten. Because of this, Ning Cheng had already wanted to go to Shenfeng Academy, after all, a rare object is precious. Now the old man from Shenfeng Academy's words made him even more satisfied.

  Just as the other two colleges were about to speak, Ning Cheng hastily stepped forward and bowed his fist, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I was thinking of going to Shenfeng College anyway. Because my spiritual root is a miscellaneous spiritual root, I can only advance to the Condensed Reality stage under fortunate circumstances. Shenfeng College doesn't care about the strength or weakness of one's spiritual root, which is perfect for me. However, I have a small request."

  The old man of Shenfeng Academy had invited Ning Cheng, but in his heart, he didn't have the slightest confidence. Among all the five-star academies on Huazhou, Shenfeng Academy was the weakest and worst. So when competing for a six-star academy, it was also the most unconfident, to the point where it could be said that they were just accompanying the prince in reading books. Now that Ning Cheng had joined, at least in the written test, he could get some pretty good scores, even if they lost in the end, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

  Because he also got a rumor that once one of the five five-star academies is promoted to six-star, Huazhou will have four-star academies promoted to five-star. If Shenfeng Academy's performance is too poor, it may even be squeezed out of the five-star list.

  "What requirements do you have, just say it." The old man from Shenfeng Academy became even more excited as he spoke. As for Ning Cheng saying that he was a multi-elemental spiritual root, he ignored it directly. Previously, Ning Cheng had said that he had obtained a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool and had only advanced to the Condensed True First Layer, which showed that Ning Xiaocheng's qualifications were indeed not good.

  "I have two friends who also want to join Shenfeng Academy with me, I don't know..." Ning Cheng got a hint from Zhu Muer, and at this time, he had to bring up conditions.

  These two friends, apart from Ji Lu Fei, naturally included Zhu Mu Er. After understanding Zhu Mu Er's personality, Ning Cheng knew that she was straightforward and didn't have any ulterior motives. Moreover, he had benefited from her before, so giving a spot to Zhu Mu Er now was only right. As for whether Zhu Mu Er wanted it or not, that was her own affair.

  He must join the Wuxing Academy, not only to seek an opportunity to go to the middle continent, but also to learn from the Wuxing Academy. Without systematic learning, he feels that compared to fellow cultivators of the same rank, there are many basic things he doesn't understand.

  "Of course, as long as those two friends of yours have decent spiritual roots and talent, they can enter the inner courtyard of my Shenfeng Academy." The elder of Shenfeng Academy agreed to Ning Cheng's request without hesitation.

  The old man seemed to think he should introduce himself, and hurriedly added, "I'm Liu Xian, in charge of foreign affairs at Shenfeng Academy. If you have any difficulties when you come to Shenfeng Academy, just look for me directly."

  Ning Cheng has already decided to join Shen Feng Academy. The other two five-star academies were disappointed, but they could do nothing about it.

  ……

  "Luó Fēi?" Ning City took Jiǎo Luó Fēi and Zhū Mù ér with him as they followed the people from Shén Fēng Academy, leaving behind Jiǎo Yáo Hé who had a clear view of them. When she recognized Jiǎo Luó Fēi, she almost cried out.

  Fortunately, she still knew not to call out Jiluofei's name. Jiluofei was someone the Shui family had taken a liking to, and if they found out that Jiluofei had returned to Mozecastle and was mixed up with Ningcheng again, it would be absolutely detrimental to her. Whether Ningcheng lived or died didn't matter to her; after all, Jiluofei was still her niece. She wanted Jiluofei to marry into the Shui family, not just for her own benefit, but also with the intention of helping Jiluofei a little.

  Ning Cheng was just a disciple of Shen Feng Academy and could not yet contend with a behemoth like the Shui family.

  At this point, Ji Yahe decided not to look for Ji Luofei for the time being.

  ……

  "That's Luofei, it must be Luofei, Luofei really came to Huazhou..." In the corner of Mozecity's large square, a middle-aged beautiful woman stared at Ji Luofei in the same way, but her tone was trembling and her expression was excited. As soon as she saw the girl with a veil on her face beside Ningcheng, she knew it was her daughter Ji Luofei.

  This middle-aged beauty is Xiong Qihua, after being recognized by Ning City, she can no longer stay in Da'an Forest for a day, and she must come out to find her daughter Ji Luofei.

  The man beside her was Zhu Hongwen, who also had a bitter heart. In fact, Zhu Hongwen did not want Xiong Qihua to meet Ji Luofei so soon. So when Xiong Qihua was about to go to Pingzhou, he volunteered to ask Xiong Qihua to first find her daughter Ji Luofei in Yuanzhou. The reason was that since Ningcheng had an unusual relationship with Ji Luofei, if Ningcheng went to Yuanzhou, then Ji Luofei would definitely be there too.

  Jing Qi Hua measured others by her own standard, and wherever she went, following the people she liked was never wrong. So she thought Zhu Hongwen was right, and left Da'an Forest for Yuan Zhou. After arriving in Yuan Zhou, the two of them learned that Huazhou's Muzi City was holding a joint recruitment ceremony for the Five-Star Academy. Zhu Hongwen said that Ji Luo Fei would definitely go to Huazhou Muzi City with many others. Ji Luo Fei might have been chosen by the Five-Star Academy because of her good qualifications.

  Ji Luo Fei is Xiong Qi Hua's daughter, and Xiong Qi Hua would not think that her own daughter has poor qualifications, so the two of them rushed from Yuan Zhou to Hua Zhou again.

  If it weren't for Zhu Hongwen's experience of walking in the desert and having a safe route map, the two would have fallen in the desert.

  What Zhu Hongwen did not expect was that they arrived at Huazhou Mozecity and really saw Ji Luofei. Moreover, his guess was correct, Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei were together. Not only that, but this guy named Ning Xiaocheng was also the first place in the preliminary written test.
