On the way out of the village, Duan Chenfeng hired a carriage and brought the four of them to the city gate of World City. When they looked out from the carriage, they realized that the city wall was much higher than Tianfeng City. There were also some soldiers standing at the city gate and on the city wall. They were all armed and looked around vigilantly.
When Duan Chenfeng and the others passed through the city gate, they were only allowed to enter after being questioned in detail by the soldiers. The capital was indeed the capital. It was indeed much stricter than other cities.
The carriage took them to the entrance of the Royal Academy. Big Fatty Chen was the first to get out and quickly paid the fare. He then said to Duan Chenfeng,"Big Brother Duan, where are we going now?”
Duan Chenfeng pointed at the Royal Academy and said to the three of them,"From today onwards, the Royal Academy has already started to register. We will first register, then take the test. If we pass, we will go to school. If we don't pass, we will go home.”As he spoke, he smiled at Big Fatty Chen.
Duan Chenfeng's smile caused Big Fatty Chen to lose his confidence. Everyone knew that the Royal Academy was a place where one had to rely on strength to enter. If one didn't have a certain foundation in cultivation, even the daughter of an emperor wouldn't be able to enter. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. With his True Core Strength, it was still unknown whether he could pass the first level.
As it was the first day of registration, there were many people who came to register. Duan Chenfeng and the other three were almost squeezed by the crowd. The Royal Academy only recruited 1,000 students every year. They were selected based on their merits, so everyone wanted to test their abilities in advance. If they could pass the test, they would stay. If they couldn't pass, they had to go back obediently and wait for the next year's enrollment. There were also some who came to take a look at the situation and casually admire the beautiful girls.
Duan Chenfeng looked at the crowd and said,""Let's go and eat something first. We'll go when there are fewer people.”
Liu Ke and Li Yun had no objections. Big Fatty Chen wanted to go in, but when he saw that no one was talking, he shut his mouth and followed Duan Chenfeng obediently. Along the way, he looked around carefully, looking for beautiful women. He was afraid that he would miss one by accident.
Duan Chenfeng led the three of them into the store and ordered a few simple dishes. When he saw Big Fatty Chen drooling, he couldn't help but say,"Fatty, are you here to go to school or are you looking for someone?”
Big Fatty Chen's eyes were still wandering around as he replied,"I'm using my school time to look for someone.”
Li Yun laughed and said,"Wow, you really know how to use your time."”
Big Fatty Chen smiled at Li Yun and said proudly,"Of course. I'm not like some people who only know how to wait for food. This is called taking the initiative.”
"You." Li Yun wanted to say something but was stopped by Duan Chenfeng. Duan Chenfeng shook his head and signaled him to shut up.
"What are you attacking?" Liu Ke asked curiously, not understanding what Big Fatty Chen meant.
"This is not something you people can understand," said Big Fatty Chen casually.”
"I asked because I don't understand." Liu Ke continued.
At this moment, the dishes were served. Duan Chenfeng said,""Liu Ke, Li Yun, it's time to eat." As he spoke, he began to eat. Liuke and Li Yun were already hungry, so they didn't have time to bicker with Big Fatty Chen.
When everyone was halfway through their meal, Big Fatty Chen asked in bewilderment,"When did you eat? Why didn't you call me?”
" I thought you were practicing taking the initiative, so I didn't call you," Duan Chenfeng said with a smile." You don't look hungry, do you?"”
"Who says I'm not hungry?" Big Fatty Chen didn't say anything else. He picked up the remaining food with his chopsticks and began to eat. After everyone finished eating, Duan Chenfeng brought them to the Royal Academy. There weren't many people around, so they quickly arrived at the registration area. First, everyone received a registration form, and then they went to the test area to line up.
There were five judges in the testing area, and they looked to be around 14 years old. When the judge in the middle saw Duan Chenfeng and the other three walking over, he nodded in satisfaction. His gaze was as if he had seen a proud disciple. There was also a young archer standing in the middle of the test field, testing the students who had entered the school.
The referee beside him asked curiously,""What happened? What did you see?"
The judge in the middle smiled and said," The students who came today are all very talented. Earlier, the True Core Strength of a man and a woman had already surprised me. I didn't expect that there would be another expert who had reached the condensed force stage.”
"What? People at the Condensing Force stage are coming here to learn?”As he spoke, he looked at the other party's eyes and saw four young men standing in line. Three of them could be seen through at a glance, but the one in the middle couldn't be seen through no matter how he looked at it. He sighed and said,"He is indeed an expert. I didn't expect him to be so young. I really don't know how he cultivated to such a realm.”Then, he said meaningfully,"No wonder the dean asked you to be the chief judge every year. If you weren't here, there really wouldn't be anyone who could beat him.”
The chief judge said," The four of you have higher cultivation levels than him, but your Refined Qi is not as strong as his. That's why you can't see through his cultivation. There's nothing impossible in the world. His cultivation method seems to be different from ours.”
As the two of them spoke, Duan Chenfeng and the other three had already arrived in front of them. Duan Chenfeng handed the four forms to the chief judge and said,""Senior, this is the form for the four of us. Can we take the test together?”
The chief judge shook his head and said seriously,""No, according to the academy's rules, we have to test them one by one.”
After Duan Chenfeng heard this, he politely said,""Then let's start with my friend!”He pointed at Big Fatty Chen. Duan Chenfeng had a reason for allowing Big Fatty Chen to start first. Big Fatty Chen was the weakest of the four, and if he could pass, then the three of them would definitely pass. If Big Fatty Chen couldn't pass, then they would be able to gain more experience from the test.
Duan Chenfeng already knew how to test everyone. It was nothing more than strength, speed, judgment, attack, and defense. He only used his entire body's Refined Qi to lift a stone that was more than a meter tall in the middle of the test field. Speed and judgment were the factors that determined how long it would take for an archer to retrieve an arrow that was shot at the empty space on the sidelines. For attack and defense, any one of the five judges would go up and exchange blows with you. Anyone who could last ten moves would pass with full marks. If you could pass all three with full marks, then you would definitely be admitted.
Duan Chenfeng knew that the last round was the most difficult. When he was lining up, he noticed that the people in front of him had easily passed the first two rounds. However, none of them could withstand ten moves from the judge. At most, they could only withstand five moves. Then, they would be graded according to their overall score. The full score here was 100 points. No matter how good they were at the beginning, they would only get 50 points. The later rounds were obviously a little abnormal. Passing one move would give them an additional five points.
Duan Chenfeng knew that he could easily pass the test. Many of the young men who had been there earlier were more powerful than Big Fatty Chen, but they had only managed to survive one blow from the judge. He couldn't help but worry for Big Fatty Chen. By this time, Big Fatty Chen had barely completed the first two matches. It was time for the showdown.
One of the judges approached Big Fatty Chen, and said,"Begin!" Then he attacked. He struck out with a palm strike, but Big Fatty Chen dodged it, and then struck out with another palm strike, which was also dodged. After two attempts at dodging, Big Fatty Chen had no more true qi left. Just as the palm strike was about to hit him, he stopped. The judge smiled and said,"That's right, 15 points. You're the first one to dodge.”He nodded at Big Fatty Chen, then left the arena.
Li Yun and Liu Ke were clearly having a harder time than Big Fatty Chen. Duan Chenfeng could also see that the amount of True Core Strength the referee used was based on the contestant's own True Core Strength. The higher the level of True Core Strength, the more powerful the referee's attack. The less True Core Strength, the less powerful the referee's attack. The two of them had performed well in the beginning, and in the end, they had also exchanged three moves. The result could only be considered average.
At this moment, the chief judge said to Duan Chenfeng,""Little brother, it's your turn."
Duan Chenfeng leaped up and landed next to the huge rock. His speed was so fast that it caused the people around him to exclaim in surprise. Hearing the surprised voice, he couldn't help but frown. At the critical moment, he actually forgot to hide his strength. Forget it. Since they were already here, they would find out sooner or later. So, they looked at the rock in front of them. It was just like any other rock, except that there were many patterns on it, like a defensive formation. Unfortunately, Duan Chenfeng knew nothing about formations, so he had no idea what those patterns meant.
Duan Chenfeng instantly gathered his inner energy and lifted the rock. At this moment, he realized that the rock was a formation that increased its weight. Unfortunately, the person who set up this formation did not use much True Core Strength. Otherwise, this rock would not have been lifted so easily. Duan Chenfeng easily lifted the stone. When he saw the five judges nodding at him in satisfaction, he put the stone down.
The reason Duan Chenfeng could lift it so easily was because his internal strength was extremely high. How could such an expert feel the pain of those ordinary students? When they lifted the stone, they used all their True Core Strength.
When they arrived at the shooting area, Duan Chenfeng nodded at the archer, indicating that he was ready. The archer pulled out a full bow and shot an arrow. After shooting, the archer was confused. Where did the arrow go? Why couldn't he find it? When he turned around and saw Duan Chenfeng, he almost fainted because Duan Chenfeng was holding the arrow he had just shot.
He was an archer, so of course he knew how fast the speed of an arrow was. However, the speed of the person in front of him not only exceeded the speed of an arrow, but also exceeded the speed of the naked eye. Did such an expert still need to come here to learn the cultivation method?
