Heavenly Tyrant Earth Conqueror

  Entering the grand admission hall, inside it's as lively as a vegetable market, with people signing up everywhere.

  "King Shao, here! Here!" Wang Yu's several iron rods suddenly appeared in a row.

  "Oh, you guys have arrived too!"

  "Can't you come? If you don't, the old man at home will skin us alive!" complained Qian Runming, who was slightly on the plump side.

  "It's like this, if I don't get into Longxiang Academy this time, my old man said he'll give me a physical beating every day." Hu Ran chimed in from the side.

  "Uh... is admission very difficult?"

  "Difficult? It's more than just difficult, it's like banging your head against a wall and still can't get in!" Zhou Haoyi said indignantly.

  "Is it that exaggerated?" Wang Yu muttered.

  "Exaggerated? No, not at all. Let me calculate it for you! Longxiang Academy recruits 1,000 students every year, and Guodu alone occupies 100 places. With a permanent population of over 10 million in Guodu, the remaining 900 places are scattered across 450 cities nationwide. Even if each city gets two places, it's still a matter of selecting one place from among millions of people, and then competing with other cities again. Finally, there's also the academy's examination to pass. You say it's not difficult? Fortunately, we don't have to participate in the selection process but can directly take the exam."

  "Come on, let's go test in District 8." He said, leading the way to a crowded testing point.

  "Make way, make way." Hu Ran shouted domineeringly.

  "Who is this? So arrogant, don't you even look at where we are?" Someone next to him immediately complained.

  "Keep your voice down, don't want to get mixed up in this. They're the Tian brothers, you know? See that fat guy over there? Yeah, him. He's Qian Shao, heard he once killed someone with his money."

  "Really! Hmm, this kind of person can't be messed with."

  ……

  Wang Yu and his group seemed to have heard their discussion, and a faint smile involuntarily hung on the corner of their mouths.

  Wang Yu and others walked towards the assessment point, the crowd unconsciously made way for a path to let them pass through. Zhou Hao laughed and said to Wang Yu: "Wang Shao, is this the legendary aura of a king? Hahaha!"

  "Zhou Hao, be more reserved. There are only a few who can come here, either they are extraordinary or have a deep background. So don't stir up trouble." Wang Yu said with a slight frown.

  "Haha, got it." Zhou Hao rubbed his head and said.

  Walk up to the testing crystal, the mage in charge of the test said emotionlessly: "The tester steps forward, the rest step back."

  Hearing the examiner's words, the four of them exchanged a glance. Finally, Wang Yu said: "Qian Runming goes first."

  Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, Qian Runming walked up without hesitation. The examiner said emotionlessly: "Examinee, please place your hand on the elemental crystal and input your elemental power with all your might. Hmm, not bad. Seventh-level peak of the earth element, next one."

  "Hurry up, Fire-type level 7, next one."

  "Zhou Hao, dual water and wood ninth grade!" The examiner exclaimed in shock.

  "Next... next... next one."

  It was finally Wang Yu's turn, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Wang Yu took a deep breath, his gaze firm as he walked towards the testing platform. He stretched out his right hand, gathering dense spiritual energy on the elemental crystal, and for a moment, the testing platform was filled with a kaleidoscope of colors, the spiritual energy bursting forth in a loud "Boom!" The elemental crystal actually exploded.

  The examiner exclaimed in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can it be?! The entire set of Eight Trigrams is fully present from birth!!! Is this human?"

  "Did I pass?" Wang Yu said lightly.

  "It's over... it's all over."

  ……

  "Next."

  "Zhou Xinyi is a seventh-grade student in the water system, next one."

  ……

  Everyone had participated in the assessment and was preparing to go back and wait for the start of school, but Wang Yu suddenly walked towards the warrior assessment point. Everyone was shocked, "Wang Shao, you're going the wrong way! That's the warrior assessment point."

  "I'm going to take part in the warrior assessment." He said, and then walked towards the nearest assessment point.

  I want to take part in the assessment.

  "You? Were you just applying for the Department of Law? Are you going to take the Warrior exam as well?" The examiner from the Warrior Department said uncertainly.

  "Right."

  "Several levels of examination halls."

  "Sixth gear."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Come on."

  "You just need to leave a mark on this Mysterious Iron Stake and you'll pass the assessment."

  "Is it that simple?"

  "Easy? Haha! You little kid, do you know what this Mysterious Iron Stake is? Its hardness can reach the top grade of the Mysterious Stage. Even an ordinary treasure sword would find it hard to cut through it. Humph, no need for idle chatter. You didn't think much of the Mysterious Iron Stake, did you? Try cutting it yourself."

  Only to see Wang Yu standing in the testing arena, his eyes fixed intently on the front, gathering power in his right hand, the small sword that had appeared in the quiet room reappeared, but the light sword was several times larger. It's now, a sword suddenly swung down, and the examiner next to him was stunned.

  That mysterious iron stake was actually broken into two pieces, and the onlookers outside the testing arena were also shocked.

  "Hmph, is it that hard? It's nothing but a piece of trash that can't be cut off." With that, he turned and left without looking back.

  Wang Yu's words made the examiner's face turn red and he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal for half a day. "This..."

  Wang Yu and others returned to their residence to await the results of the assessment. In a flash, seven days had passed, and the assessment was over. The new semester at Longxiang Academy was about to begin, but another problem arose - before the start of school, there was still a trial, which was a test of the students' willpower.

  This assessment is simple, it's just to independently walk into Longxiang Academy. However, this walk is climbing a 999-story staircase, with each story being one meter high and one hundred meters wide. An ordinary person would likely take at least a day or two to climb it. But the academy requires that you reach the main gate within twelve hours, which is considered passing the trial, and formally become a member of Longxiang Academy; otherwise, you will be rejected.

  The sun was shining brightly, and the fierce sun was in the sky. Wang Yu and others, along with some other participants, gathered at the foot of the mountain where Longxiang Academy was located. After waiting for half a day without seeing anyone to lead them into school, and the scorching sun being extremely intense, they couldn't help but feel restless after standing for a while.

  "Why didn't anyone come down to pick us up?"

  "What about the people from Longxiang Academy?"

  ……

  Finally, when everyone was getting impatient, someone from Longxiang College came down. He was an old man with white hair, although he looked very old, but his spirit was very vigorous and his face was full of energy.

  "The trial rules are as follows: Those who do not reach the top within twelve hours will be eliminated, those who quit halfway will be eliminated, and those who ask for help from others will be eliminated... I hope everyone does not violate these points, otherwise all your efforts in coming to Longxiang Academy will be in vain. I declare, the trial begins."

  The old man's words were like a death knell, and the participants below rushed towards the heavenly ladder in a flurry. Wang Yu and others also refused to fall behind and climbed up the heavenly ladder with all their might.

  But as soon as Wang Yu stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, he felt a difference. A mysterious power that was hard to describe cut off Wang Yu's connection with his own spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to exert his strength. However, this did not deter Wang Yu. The power that had been sealed by the mysterious force was broken under the effect of the Cang Tian Jue. Suddenly, Wang Yu burst forth with vitality like a withered millet seedling. In an instant, he accelerated and ran from over twenty layers to over one hundred layers. It could be said that his speed was currently the fastest. The second place was still struggling in the nineties.

  Wang Yu also felt like he was showing off too much and slowed down a bit.
