Iceberg Beauty

  Iceberg Beauty Queen

  Zi Yun Academy, the highest institution of learning within the borders of Zi Yun City, integrates seven major professional educations: alchemy, spiritual plant cultivation, artifact refinement, array techniques, talisman creation, spiritual beast breeding, and yuanqi adjustment. The faculty is robust, with renowned instructors who are even honored as guest professors by various industries in Zi Yun City.

  Innumerable people of the Violet Cloud Empire take pride in being able to attend the Violet Cloud Academy, but the threshold for entering the Violet Cloud Academy is extremely high. Except for geniuses with a spiritual root of 15 points or higher and those who possess five or more segments of professional talent who can directly enroll, one must undergo rigorous entrance exams. Every year, only a few hundred people are able to pass the exam, while the number of applicants is in the tens of thousands.

  Today is the day of registration for the entrance examination of Ziyun Academy, countless flying vehicles are flying to Ziyun Academy from all directions to participate in the registration for the entrance examination.

  Chu Xiao and Bi Yunqing stepped on the flying board, flew over the vast Purple Cloud Lake, and arrived at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Academy.

  The airspace above Ziyun Academy has a powerful defensive ban, as long as it is not the teacher of Ziyun Academy and the people of the academy, they cannot enter at will, and must enter through the corresponding flight channel. Biyun Qing is an apprentice of Ziyun Academy and has a pass, so she directly entered Ziyun Academy from the air without triggering the defensive ban.

  The campus is like a completely different world, giving people a wonderful visual sense, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and various buildings and gardens are harmoniously matched.

  Studying in such a school is indeed a pleasure. Compared with the schools of past dynasties, it's like heaven and earth apart.

  At this moment, Ziyun Academy is extremely popular, with many parents accompanying their children who are taking the exam.

  Outside a building for registration, there were already long queues. Bi Yunqing brought Chu Xiao here to line up.

  "There are really many people"

  Chu Xiao looked at the long queue in front of him and sighed.

  "This is nothing, it was more last year. Brother, which school are you from? Should be the first time applying to Ziyun College, right? I'm Chen Bing from Municipal No. 1 Middle School, this is my third time applying, every time just a little short, this year must get in."

  A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy with a sturdy build suddenly turned his head and said with a pouting mouth.

  "My name is Chu Xiao, I'm from Municipal Second Middle School."

  Chu Xiao smiled and said.

  Chen Bing was quite familiar and started talking non-stop, Chu Xiao had to deal with one sentence after another.

  Chu Xiao was slightly impressed, this young man really knew how to find topics, he talked for almost an hour and still showed no signs of stopping. However, from Chen Bing's mouth, he learned a lot about the exam information, in addition to the basic subjects, they also had to choose one vocational subject.

  The eight basic subjects are: Cultivation, History, Geography, Spiritual Beasts, Spiritual Energy, Runes, Spiritual Medicine, and Minerals.

  Cultivation is naturally the cultivation of Fa power. This fundamental subject is extremely important and is the most crucial part of all subjects.

  History, mainly tells the story of how the human race, under the leadership of Yuexing Xianzun, opened up a bright world in difficulties and dangers before the formation of the Xiuzhen Alliance.

  Geography, mainly the geographical overview of the Tianyuan continent and overseas regions, the land of great calamity, heterodimensional space and so on.

  Spirit beasts, telling various spirit beasts on the Tianyuan continent, including all kinds of powerful fierce beasts and demon beasts.

  Spirit energy, introduces various spirit energies between heaven and earth, as well as their special 'properties' and uses.

  Runes, naturally form a runic system.

  "Spirits" and "medicines", various kinds of spiritual grasses, trees and medicines on the Tianyuan continent.

  Minerals, various metal smelting materials, 'jade' stone minerals and so on.

  These basic subjects are the foundation for future professional subjects. Without the accumulation of these basic subjects, future vocational learning will have a great impact.

  As for the entrance examination, there will be a 'gate' professional subject, which is actually used as a reference for career choices after admission.

  After queuing for more than an hour, it was finally Chu Xiao's turn. After taking out his ID card and paying 1,000 spiritual coins as the registration fee, he successfully obtained a qualification certificate for the exam, which would take place tomorrow.

  As for the exam, Chu Xiao didn't have much to worry about. With the Cultivation System in place, these basic subjects were nothing to be concerned about.

  After reporting for registration, Bi Yunqing accompanied Chu Xiao on a tour around the campus of Ziyun Academy to help him get familiar with the school's environment.

  The Alchemy Institute, the Spiritual Plant Garden, the Refining Tool Institute, the Spiritual Beast Breeding Garden, the Yuanqi Adjustment Institute, the Array Court, and the Talisman Making Institute... These magnificent buildings left Chu Xiao in awe. It was indeed worthy of being the top academy in Ziyun City. The teaching facilities were extremely impressive, far surpassing those of Municipal Second Middle School.

  The day passed by leisurely, and on the second day, Chu Xiao set off early in the morning to the Ziyun Academy, where he had eight basic subjects to take exams, and it was a one-time exam. The total duration of the exam was sixteen hours, from 8 am to 12 pm. It's hard to imagine how massive this exam is. Fortunately, this world is a Cultivation Civilization, and every student has cultivated their body and mind, possessing incredible physical strength and mental power. Otherwise, taking exams for sixteen consecutive hours would be exhausting to death.

  It's not over yet, after the exam is finished, you can't leave, and then rest for a night at Ziyun College, and continue to take the vocational subject exam on the second day.

  Chu Xiao had the examination qualification certificate, so he entered the Ziyun Academy through the flight channel very smoothly. After parking his flying board, he hurried to an examination building and casually found a test stand to sit down.

  It was a coincidence that Chen Bing, whom he had met yesterday, happened to be sitting right in front of him.

  "Chu Xiao, it seems we really have a fate after all."

  Chen Bing's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Chu Xiao, and she began to chatter nonstop.

  More and more candidates came in, by 7:50, all the candidates had basically arrived. At 8 o'clock sharp, a proctor walked in, surprisingly it was an extremely beautiful 'woman'. Suddenly, there were sounds of gulps in the examination room, everyone's eyes were fixed on the beautiful proctor, but this beautiful proctor was very cold and elegant, emitting a chilling aura, wherever her gaze passed, no one dared to look at her directly, she had a strong killing intent.

  Chu Xiao inadvertently exchanged a glance with her, and both of them couldn't help but feel a spark. In their hearts, they secretly admired, indeed an icy beauty.

  On the chest of the beautiful female invigilator in Ice Mountain, there was a name tag with her name written on it - Zhao Yingkong.

  Bingshan Mei, the beautiful female proctor Zhao Yingkong stood on the examination platform, and with a flick of her wrist on the time-space watch, numerous jade slips spewed out from it. Under the constraint of an invisible magical force, they floated in mid-air, with eight jade slips tied together in each bundle. As Zhao Yingkong waved her slender hand, the bundles of jade slips flew towards each examinee like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, creating a spectacular scene.

  Chu Xiao saw Zhao Yingkong's skillful use of his magical powers and couldn't help but feel envious. This was a technique that only those in the Divine Transformation realm possessed. For someone at the Qi Refining stage, their magical powers would lose control once they left their body. This was because the 'jing' spirit intention could not leave the body, and only by reaching the Divine Transformation realm would the 'jing' spirit intention transform into divine consciousness, eliminating this problem.

  A bundle of 'jade' slips fell silently in front of Chu Xiao, who withdrew his gaze and grabbed the 'jade' slips. He immediately infused his spiritual energy into them, and this was an examination jade slip, which recorded a large number of test questions inside. The examinee only needed to use their spiritual energy to answer the questions inside.

  Eight pieces of 'jade' represent eight basic disciplines.

  For Chu Xiao, such basic subjects are almost without any difficulty, but there are just too many questions.

  It took Chu Xiao three hours to complete all the questions, during which he also took a few pills of Jing Shen Dan to recover his consumed mental energy.

  Have to say, this Ziyun Academy entrance exam is really abnormal. Although the questions are relatively simple, there are just too many of them. No wonder it takes sixteen hours.

  Look at the time, it's only 11 o'clock now, and there are still 13 hours before the exam ends. If he continues to stay in the examination room, Chu Xiao estimates that he will go crazy. So, under the gaze of many examinees, he picked up his 'jade' pen and walked towards the icy beauty, invigilator Zhao Xiangkong.

  "Hey, classmate, what's up?"

  Zhao Ying's voice was very cold and gave people a sense of being rejected from afar.

  "After finishing the exam, I want to 'hand in' a simple 'jade'."

  Chu Xiao smiled lightly and said, "After seeing the elegant and unparalleled appearance of Tianyuan Laozu, although Zhao Xing is quite beautiful, he already has a strong immunity."

  "Let it go."

  Zhao Ying accidentally glanced at Chu Xiao, but her expression remained cold and 'beautiful'.

  After Chu Xiao left, Zhao Ying's gaze fell on Chu Xiao's examination paper, and her heart moved. She probed into it with her divine sense, and after a while, a hint of surprise appeared on her face - all the questions were answered correctly.

  However, she discovered a problem - this candidate did not have any identification information recorded.

  According to the enrollment examination regulations of Ziyun College, answer sheets without a recorded ID will be scored as zero.

  Zhao Ying shook her head and didn't go to call back Chu Xiao to correct the mistake, continuing to invigilate.

  In her opinion, Chu Xiao's carelessness was unforgivable, no matter how great his talent was. He must be taught a profound lesson.

  However, at this moment, Chu Xiao had no idea of the mistake he made. He was walking along a small path in the woods, feeling quite relaxed, sensing the spiritual nature of the surrounding trees and grasses, his mind gradually becoming free and easy.

  In the exhausted 'spirit' of the exam, the communication with the natural spirit gradually recovered.

  He walked so carelessly that Chu Xiao didn't even know where he was going, and he had already closed his eyes, walking under the guidance of Cao Mu's 'nature'.

  Suddenly, Chu Xiao sensed a strange spiritual energy, like a magnet, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a kind of strange resonance, and even his soul's thoughts seemed to be drawn in.

  He gradually felt the wonder of this spiritual 'nature', the transmitted 'wave' motion was different from other grass and wood spirits, as if it had its own consciousness. The most peculiar thing was that this spiritual 'nature' could also merge with the 'wave' motions of other grass and wood spirits, gradually growing stronger. At first, it was like a flame, but eventually, it became like a sun, releasing intense 'waves', affecting more and more grass and wood spirits, even giving a feeling of covering heaven and earth. His 'essence' spirit intention had entered this spiritual world constructed by the spiritual 'nature'.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but even Chu Xiao forgot about the passage of time as he carefully sensed the fluctuations in this spiritual world and became fully immersed.

  Suddenly, an old voice rang out beside his ear: "Little friend, since you've arrived at the 'gate', come on in."

  Chu Xiao finally came back to his senses and found himself standing at the entrance of a small courtyard, with lush trees and plants surrounding him, looking extremely elegant and quiet.

  Pushing open the gate of the courtyard, Chu Xiao walked in and saw that the courtyard was clean. An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in gray clothes, stood under a strange spirit tree with his hands behind his back, emitting a natural and simple aura as if he had merged with the spirit tree.

  Chu Xiao's heart moved slightly, and he quickly used the Xiu Zhen system to check.

  "Ding! Target cultivation level exceeds the maximum allowed by the Cultivation System. Unable to view. Strive to improve your cultivation."
