Chapter 43: Signing Up for the Mountain Institute (Three)

  Li Ran Dao walked towards the instructor under everyone's stunned gaze, and when he reached the side of the wooden carving desk, he asked faintly:

  "Wang instructor, I want to sign up, should I test my skills first?"

  Wang's mouth was agape and he quickly nodded: "Right, right, you go test it first."

  Li Ruo's hand slowly reached out to the stone, and the mountain wolf behind him finally struggled to get up, wiping the blood stain on his forehead with force, and roaring angrily:

  "Where's my sword? Xiao Liu, bring me my sword. I'll have a duel to the death with that kid. Li Ran, you scoundrel, come out and fight me fairly! What kind of man ambushes someone?"

  Shan Lang snatched a long knife from Xiao Liu's hand and prepared to dash over and strike Li Ran in the back.

  Just then, Shan Lang saw a milky white light flashing violently on the stone ganoderma in Li Ran's hand, and a bright light quickly rose along the stone ganoderma, one layer, two layers, three layers, four layers, five layers...

  The milky white color actually rose directly to the fifth level before slowly stopping.

  "Five, Fivefold Essence Energy?"

  That King stared blankly, dazedly looking at the stone ganoderma under Li Ran's knife hand, suddenly bursting into a mad joy, laughing and asking:

  "Li Ruo, you actually have the power of five layers of Jingyuan Qi? Haha, such power is absolutely number one in our mountain school. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that you would have such strength, great, great."

  The king's teacher was so excited that he was almost dancing with joy.

  The several boys around Shan Lang's side turned pale and subconsciously retreated backwards.

  The mountain wolf grasped the long knife in his hand, looking at the stone monument in front of him with a mixture of shock and anger, his face filled with embarrassment and difficulty. Suddenly, he didn't know whether to continue holding the knife or throw it away. The opponent was a five-layered essence energy? What kind of power was that?

  There is a threshold between the second and third levels, and another threshold between the fourth and fifth levels. Once you cross it, your strength will make a qualitative leap, no wonder others can knock him down with one hand, they have that kind of strength.

  Shan Lang's face was covered in cold sweat, and he involuntarily stretched out a hand to wipe his forehead, just as Li Ran Jian slowly turned around to look at him, asking faintly:

  "Mountain wolf, still fighting?"

  "I..."

  The wolf-like face was distorted with a horizontal muscle, and big drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was at a loss for what to do, when suddenly Little Liu slipped up beside him and whispered:

  "Wolf brother, I remember your dad told you to hurry back home after reporting your name, otherwise he'll lock you up again. Let's go quickly."

  "Hmm!"

  The mountain wolf let out a loud hum, suddenly shook his hand and put the long knife behind him, and shouted loudly with muscles on his face: "Let's go!"

  A group of people slunk away with their tails between their legs.

  Wang Xiaohu excitedly hopped over like a rabbit, took a few steps and jumped over, with a surprised look on his face, he gave Li Ran a forceful punch and shouted loudly:

  "Blazing Sword, what's going on? Didn't you just cheat? Your Essence Energy is at the fifth level, how did you achieve that? Did you eat a divine pill or something?"

  Watching his friend scare the mountain wolves away with such vigor, Wang Xiaohu's heart was filled with joy and admiration, yet he couldn't help but feel puzzled by Li Ruo's incredible skill.

  Such a high level of skill, it's probably impossible for him to achieve even if he practices his whole life.

  Wang Xiaohu remembered clearly that the last time he saw Li Ruo Dao, his cultivation was only at the second stage of the Double Heavy Realm. At that time, Li Ruo Dao couldn't even compare to him, but who would have thought that in just a short period of time, Li Ruo Dao would become such a powerful expert?

  Wang Wanxuan beside her covered her mouth tightly, with more surprise in her eyes.

  With such incredible strength, she thought to herself that it would be easy to earn a large sum of money just by going out and doing some odd jobs. She recalled how she had just introduced Li Ran's knife to the blacksmith's workshop earlier, and her face turned red once again.

  To let a fivefold strong man go and hammer iron is just like letting the leader of the hunters go pick up trash.

  Wang Wanyue was shocked, staring blankly as Li Ranno walked up, biting her lip tightly:

  "Flaming Blade, you...you really didn't cheat? It's really fivefold strength?"

  Li Rando smiled and nodded, he could understand his friends' astonishment. In his past life, after meeting Master Baicao Dao Ren, Li Rando's skills had made rapid progress with the help of Master Lingyao's spiritual medicine, and Li Rando had also experienced this kind of astonishment.

  But how can I explain it to them?

  Wang Xiaohu continued to ask: "Ran Jian, what kind of strange encounter did you have? How did your skills increase so quickly?"

  Li Ran shook his head: "Little Tiger, didn't you just say that I met an old man with a white beard?"

  Wang Wanyue couldn't help but burst out laughing at Wang Xiaohu's gloomy face.

  Wang Jiao Xi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly helped Li Ruo Dao register. He handed over an iron token to Li Ruo Dao, which was the identity certificate for participating in the assessment at Xuan Ji Mountain.

  "Alright, our mountain villa will set off together to the Mystic Mountain in a month's time from today. Remember, we'll depart at dawn on the 30th day, don't be late!"

  Li Ruo nodded in agreement, just then, a loud and clear whistle came from afar, the sound was full of energy, like a straight line condensed, from the foot of the mountain to the top, everyone in the mountain courtyard heard it clearly.

  Wang Jiao Xi's face lit up with joy as he squeezed past Li Ran's side and excitedly walked out, then turned his head to beckon.

  "Haha, the Grand Master is back, I wonder who he's fighting with this time. The sound of their battle is so intense, it seems like he's finally met his match. Let's hurry and take a look."

  Li Ran's ears suddenly heard another clear and melodious whistling sound rising at the same time, gently and softly, and it was not inferior to the previous weak one.

  Li Ruo's heart moved, he knew that the head coach Wang Shoudao was a strong man of Jingyuan Jinba, with a bold and impulsive personality. Who was this strong man who climbed the mountain with the head coach at the same time? At Li Ruo's current level, watching the competition between the strong men at the head coach's level was also interesting.

  Li Ruo and the three others quickly ran out after Wang's lesson, many people on the square had already rushed out of the mountain gate, standing at the top of the mountain road steps looking down with their necks stretched.

  Li Ruo and a few others exerted themselves to squeeze through the crowd, and saw two figures at the foot of the mountain like two big birds spreading their wings to fly, extremely fast, straight up to the top of the mountain, all the way not giving in to each other, obviously competing in speed.

  Suddenly, Wang Wanyuan's eyes beside her sparkled brightly, and she excitedly waved her hand and shouted loudly.

  "Oh heavens! It's Feng Chuan, it's Brother Feng Chuan, Burning Sword, Little Tiger, quick look, Brother Feng Chuan is actually competing with the Grand Master and hasn't fallen behind!"

  Many people recognized the figure beside the Grand Master and cheered in unison, their voices thundering.

  Qifeng Chuan, a 16-year-old young cultivator, was a talented genius with astonishing innate abilities. After several years of cultivation at the Wanghe Mountain Institute, his talents were fully revealed, and he made rapid progress in his cultivation. Later, under the recommendation of the Head Instructor, Wang Shoudao, he entered the larger Linfeng City Mountain Institute for further cultivation. After a long time, Qifeng Chuan had actually gained strength comparable to that of the Head Instructor.
