Chapter Nineteenth: The Only Trash

  After a few days of relaxation, Nie Li and the other two were with Li Huo during the day, explaining their own experiences when they broke through, hoping that Li Huo could break through to the Soul Emperor Realm within these few days.

  But Li Xiao sighed in his heart, he knew the real reason why he couldn't break through, but he couldn't tell others.

  Only because the true scripture of self-mutilation is the kung fu of the previous earth, and martial arts are also an ancient combat technique on the previous earth, which is completely different from the way of cultivating immortals. Li Xiao didn't want to reveal his own secret either.

  Today is the day of assessment, and on Li Xiao's bamboo bed are three people sleeping soundly. Ni Liang, Chun Yu Xi, and Nan Men Ao, in order to help Li Xiao break through, stayed up all night in these last moments, although Li Xiao still hasn't broken through to Tong Ling first level, but the friendship from the three brothers is deeply felt in his heart.

  Once again, a layer of barbaric cow print was added to his body, and instantly a surge of power was absorbed by the Extreme Spring Hole.

  In Li Xiao's view, unless one breaks through all the meridians in their body and becomes a top-notch martial artist from past lives, they may be able to start cultivating the Spiritual Realm.

  However, in nearly a year's time, Li Xiao had only managed to open up sixteen acupoints throughout his entire body, which was equivalent to eight pairs.

  In this way, by the time all the acupoints in his body are opened up, Li Xiao might have already grown old and entered his grave, which is not a solution at all.

  Sitting quietly on the spot, Li Xiao once again performed the Tongshen Secret Art.

  At this time, Li Xiao's spiritual power had already been able to leave his body for about ten feet, and a large amount of roaming energy was absorbed by Li Xiao's spiritual fire, adding another thread of strength to Li Xiao's soul.

  After a brief period of cultivation, Ni Liang, Chun Yu Xi and Nan Men Ao woke up one after another.

  A few people prepared and left their residence first, entering the dining hall.

  After finishing breakfast, a hurried bell rang from the Central Hall of Guo Xueyuan. Li Xiao and others knew that this was the gathering bell for all students, and it seemed that the year-end assessment had begun.

  Li Xiao and four others rushed to the Central Hall, where many students were heading in the same direction. In fact, this year-end assessment was not mainly testing new students who had just entered school, but rather those old students with extremely strong abilities.

  Even if the new students have strong qualifications, they are limited compared to the current power of Guo Xueyuan. Only those with astonishing qualifications and achievements can break through again and have the hope of being promoted to a high position in Guo Xueyuan, becoming a backbone of the academy.

  The central hall was packed with students, and Li Xiao and Ni Liang blended into the crowd, like a drop of water in the ocean, completely untraceable among the countless students.

  After about two quarters of an hour, several instructors appeared in the center of the main hall.

  It's teatime again, the entire central hall's gate slammed shut with a loud bang, an old man with white hair and a youthful face walked to the front of the stage, his voice was like thunder, making people's ears ache.

  "Hello everyone, I am Elder Jianhan. This time, all the students have gathered in the Central Hall for the annual assessment. First, please welcome this year's freshmen to enter."

  As soon as Lian Han's voice fell, Li Xiao and Ni Liang exchanged a glance and walked towards the center of the main hall.

  This central hall is similar to a football field in the previous life, with several mentors and elders standing on the football field, surrounded by high platforms like stairs, where students stand.

  The grand hall below finally gathered nearly a thousand students, and this number was still somewhat beyond Li Xiao's expectations. The National Academy had so many disciples every year, no wonder the students who came to watch from all sides gathered into a sea of people, and it was impossible to see clearly.

  This batch of new students lined up in ten long rows, undergoing audits by ten instructors to determine their cultivation.

  Soon, a burst of exclamation spread among the disciples.

  Some people have reached the realm of Tongling San Chong, and several instructors nodded and recorded their names. In just one year, they achieved Tongling San Chong, which is absolutely a genius-level student.

  Li Xiao and Ni Liang each lined up a long dragon, Ni Liang glanced at Li Xiao, occasionally revealing the corner of his eye, hinting that if it wasn't going well, he should leave quickly. Li Xiao smiled slightly, not saying a word.

  Not long after, a second exclamation came from among this group of disciples, and another disciple who had achieved triple spiritual enlightenment!

  Li Xiao felt a sharp gaze sweep over him, and when he looked up, it was the young master of the Wang Manor, Wang Qi, who had actually reached the realm of Tongshen San Chong in just one year!

  Li Xiao secretly thought that things were not going well. This young master of the Wang family was initially low-key and didn't show off, but today he suddenly rose to fame, suppressing most of the newcomers and becoming a genius in the academy overnight. The current situation is even more unfavorable for Li Xiao.

  Afterwards, although there were a few cries of surprise among the students, because of the previous three spiritual awakenings of the students, the emotions of the crowd were not as exaggerated as before.

  Li Xiao furrowed his brow, observing the students being assessed for half a day. He discovered that not one of them had broken through to the second level of Tong Ling like him. In fact, there were only a handful of students who had even reached the first level of Tong Shen, and their numbers were roughly equal to those of the geniuses at the third level of Tong Shen.

  Just as Li Xiao was deep in thought, the entire academy began to seethe, and the crowd nearby erupted into a deafening commotion, even drawing Li Xiao's attention!

  A man stands there, with an impressive and majestic appearance, as if he were a tall mountain.

  This newcomer of this generation actually reached the realm of Tongling Fourth Heavy in just one year, and all the students in the entire college couldn't help but boil up!

  Within a year, reaching the Threefold Spiritual Connection can be said to be an absolute genius, with extremely good innate talent for cultivation.

  But within a year to reach the fourth level of Tongling, the Academy has not had such a disciple, but that was already a hundred years ago. Such a person can be said to be a genius among geniuses, possessing an unimaginable cultivation talent. The entire Guo Xueyuan may not have seen such a disciple in hundreds of years!

  Being in the same class as such a person, it can be said that any genius's brilliance will be overshadowed by his radiance. Within a year, he has reached the fourth level of spiritual awakening. This student is likely to become the focus of attention for all mentors!

  At this moment, Lian Han, the elder, couldn't sit still either. He immediately gave an order to let this disciple enter the National Academy's inner court for cultivation and directly become a core disciple, rising to prominence overnight!

  With such a once-in-a-century genius appearing, the attention of the three strongest Spirit Communicators who had reappeared for the assessment undoubtedly decreased significantly.

  Even one of Li Xiao's brothers, Nanmen Ao was detected to be a strong practitioner of Tongling San Chong, and none of the students who were being assessed had any reaction, as if they had already gotten used to it.

  Until Li Xiao stepped onto the stage, a middle-aged instructor first opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Xiao with a hint of incredulity.

  Suddenly, a third eye opened on the forehead of this mentor, as if it was the legendary heavenly eye, which shocked several nearby mentors.

  After scanning Li Xiao's entire body, the instructor shook his head.

  "Not yet entered the spiritual realm."

  This news immediately set the entire college abuzz again! Just like the previous four strong spiritual communicators, someone like Li Xiao who hadn't even reached the first level of spiritual communication was extremely rare in the records of the entire college, with a lower probability than students who reach the fourth level of spiritual communication in just one year.

  Several instructors shook their heads, and a burst of laughter erupted from within the crowd.

  Li Xiao followed in the footsteps of those students and walked out of the Central Hall.

  "Hmph, didn't expect this, in a year's time, you haven't even reached the first level of Tongling, truly a super waste of the academy! Thinking about it, it's only right, someone with your lowly birth, how could you compare to us noble-blooded aristocrats? I wonder who was so arrogant a year ago, saying I wouldn't be able to leave the academy alive... now I'd like to see what makes you say such words..."

  Behind Wang Qi were two martial artists, their cold eyes fixed on Li Xiao, a hint of a smile playing on the corners of their mouths.

  Li Xiao ignored him and walked out of the Central Hall on his own.

  "A waste of a person, I can take him down with just one punch!"

  A slightly robust martial artist sneered coldly, Wang Qi waved his hand:

  "This is a school, don't be reckless. The martial arts arena is up ahead, and once that trash goes in, it'll be a good show."

  Wang Qi's smile faded, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

  Following the students in front, Li Xiao stepped into the martial arts arena. Ni Liang and three others poked their heads out, and soon they shouted and found Li Xiao, and several people gathered together.

  "Li Xiao, brother, this is just a test, don't take it to heart. Let's do it like this later..."

  Ni Liang stuck to Wang Qi's ear and whispered a few words.

  "No, no, the martial arts arena is originally a place to test the actual combat ability of each disciple, how can it be partial and unfair? Brother Ni Liang, I appreciate your kindness, but as for intentionally letting me win in the martial arts arena, I, Li Xiao, cannot do such a thing."

  Li Xiao shook his head, and Ni Liang couldn't help but scold him for being stupid.

  This kind of thing originally requires the cooperation of two people, otherwise if one person intentionally admits defeat, it's fine to be evenly matched, but with Nian Liangtong and Ling'er double teaming up against Li Xiao, who hasn't even set foot in the Tongling realm, anyone with discerning eyes can tell at a glance whether they're exerting themselves or not.

  The entire martial arts arena had ten levels, hundreds of disciples were competing on the arena, distinguishing between victory and defeat, and soon it was Li Xiao's turn.

  Li Xiao went up the stairs, and Ni Liang was about to make a move when someone else quickly jumped up.

  "Heh heh, little brother, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

  A chubby man flipped over and smiled at Li Xiao.

  "Oh? Down below Li Xiao, I don't know why this senior brother is waiting for me?"

  Li Xiao is a bit strange.

  "My name is Zhou Fu. Actually, we can also be considered as having the same illness. It's been a whole year now. I've only just entered the realm of Tongling for the first time. In order to prevent my first battle from ending in defeat, I had no choice but to wait for you, my junior brother."

  Originally this fatty was one of the few waste materials that had only achieved Spiritual One Realm, but in order to not lose, he could only choose to fight against Li Xiao who was at a lower realm than him.

  "No, I am fundamentally different from you! You are just a person who wants to bully students with lower cultivation for the sake of winning, satisfying your pitiful vanity. How could I sympathize with someone like you?"

  Li's gaze was filled with disdain, instantly infuriating the fat man.

  "Damn it! What's a good-for-nothing like you acting so arrogant for? I'll show you what misery is all about later!"
