Not only was Wang Ping stunned, but the tens of thousands of Haotian Academy students gathered in the square were also left in awe!
The giant bird was still over a hundred meters above the ground. For any Spirit Vein cultivator with weaker physical conditioning, falling from this height would either kill them or leave them severely injured!
But these four individuals… they actually jumped down?
“What's the difference between making a grand entrance and being a lazy fish?” Wang Lufei and the others had already decided: they were going to make the most dazzling entrance possible!
So, Wang Lufei shouted and jumped first. His speed was so fast it was almost like a cannonball, slamming into the ground with incredible force!
This impact created a large crater in the ground!
With his body clad in jet-black Armament, Wang Lufei didn't suffer a scratch!
“Frostwing!” The number one ice mage in the country, Bing Yu He, had ice crystal wings appear behind her, greatly slowing her descent before she gently landed.
As the ice crystal wings shattered into countless tiny shards, they floated down, creating a beautiful and elegant scene—graceful, and yet strikingly cool!
Xiong Jianqiang, who was always more straightforward, didn't make a showy move. Just as he was about to land, he suddenly opened a large umbrella—an automatic umbrella made from deep-sea king skin—using its resistance to glide down smoothly.
Simple, yet stylish and effective!
Almost simultaneously…
The fifth figure, He Yiming, dropped straight down, but with the grace of a feather. He landed so lightly that there wasn't even a crack on the ground!
He Yiming had arrived.
“Haotian Academy's Number One!”
“He Yiming!”
“Here to participate in the assessment!”
He Yiming spoke indifferently, his voice calm as he stood in his green robe, his expression serene. Despite the tens of thousands of students and powerful figures from Haotian Academy around him, he remained composed.
“Holy crap, that's so awesome!”
“Damn, this guy is such a big shot, his entrance is totally on point!”
“Wow, I want to do that too!”
“We five big shots aren't afraid of anyone when it comes to showing off!”
“Wait a minute… there's someone missing?”
“Look!”
The players were all excited, but some sharp-eyed individuals noticed something was missing.
“That's right, where's Mian?” Wang Lufei and the others turned around and noticed a large crater in the ground.
Clearly, while Wang Lufei and the others had all made a grand entrance, Beef Noodle had faced-plant directly into the ground…
“Holy crap, Brother Mian's about to die! Hurry up and save him!” The other three rushed over, pulling Beef Noodle out of the hole and quickly forcing a dose of snake blood medicine into him.
“Damn it!!” Beef Noodle gasped for breath, almost crying.
Why did the other three get such a cool entrance while he had to faceplant like that?
Though Wang Lufei and the others' entrances were spectacular, they quickly lost attention from the crowd, as almost everyone's focus turned to He Yiming!
After all, He Yiming was the real star of the show this time.
“He... he's finally here!” Sitting in the prestigious seats, Nan Gongli's eyes flashed with light. Her breath became slightly erratic for a moment, but she soon calmed down, murmuring to herself softly.
“He Yiming!!!”
Gu Changfeng stood up, his eyes locked onto He Yiming with intense jealousy and hatred.
“He Senior Brother!!!”
“He Yiming Senior Brother!”
“Go, Senior Brother He!!!”
As He Yiming appeared, all the students in the stadium—completely from civilian backgrounds—stood up, shouting his name and cheering loudly for him!
This scene made many of the high-ranking figures from Haotian Academy look at each other in surprise.
How could this civilian graduate, He Yiming, command such high prestige?
“Hm? I can't see through his cultivation?” At this moment, the Vice President of Haotian Academy, Gu Hang, suddenly looked startled.
He had just realized that although he could tell that He Yiming had reached the Spirit Vein realm, he couldn't see any further details of his cultivation.
This was strange.
Not only Gu Hang, but the other high-ranking figures of Haotian Academy also couldn't discern He Yiming's exact cultivation level—they only knew he had reached the Spirit Vein realm.
This was unnatural.
What they didn't know was that after He Yiming consumed the supreme Spirit Elevation Pill and entered the Spirit Vein realm, his cultivation was secretly enhanced by the Heavenly Fate Technique's luck-based power!
Thus, He Yiming's cultivation was automatically concealed. Unless someone's cultivation far exceeded his, they wouldn't be able to see through him at all!
“He Yiming, please come with me!” Soon, a Haotian Academy staff member led He Yiming to the seat next to Gu Changfeng and the others.
He Yiming walked over, his expression unchanged.
“He Yiming, don't think that just because you've pulled a few tricks and earned some praise from a bunch of ants, you actually mean anything!”
Because Gu Changfeng was ranked second on the Heavenly Rankings, his seat was right next to He Yiming. The moment he saw He Yiming, he immediately began to mock him.
“You who?” He Yiming turned his head and asked in confusion.
He really couldn't remember who this person was.
After all, over the past four years, He Yiming had been focused on studying all kinds of knowledge, and during exams, he'd only paid attention to those stronger than him!
Naturally, he didn't remember Gu Changfeng.
“Hahaha, you who... You've got me dying of laughter!”
“Brother Ming is totally killing it!”
“This guy actually tried to mock Brother Ming, what a fool!”
The players watching were on the verge of laughing out loud.
“You… He Yiming, you!!!”
Gu Changfeng was livid, practically ready to explode from anger. Just as he was about to retort, He Yiming turned his attention elsewhere.
Because He Yiming couldn't resist, he wanted to see…
Where is she?
Nan Gongli was sitting in the prestigious seats, so she was easy to spot!
In an instant, He Yiming's gaze met Nan Gongli's.
For a moment, everything around them seemed to fade into silence.
In He Yiming's eyes, there was only Nan Gongli.
She still had the familiar silver short hair and the breathtaking beauty. She still wore the same calm and detached expression, like someone who could see through everything.
But this time, her eyes, a stunning shade of water-blue, were full of burning intensity, staring directly at He Yiming.
Neither of them spoke. Their gazes locked, and everything was understood without a word.
“Damn it!!!” Gu Changfeng was about to explode!
This again? Every single time, these two ignored his presence! As if the entire Haotian Academy revolved around them!
Even though the two had never once had any physical contact over the past four years, Gu Changfeng was certain that there was something between He Yiming and Nan Gongli!
Because Nan Gongli had never once looked at him directly!
This scene of silent affection from a distance made Gu Changfeng nearly explode in place!
“Since everyone is here… Gu Hang, please begin!” The president of Haotian Academy spoke and then stepped back a few steps.
“Now that everyone's here... Gu Hang, you may begin!” The principal of Haotian Academy said coolly and stepped back, no longer intervening.
Vice Principal Gu Hang nodded and took his place at the center of the stage to announce the rules of the sect assessment.
“This is the first round of sect evaluation for the eleven students graduating from the Heavenly List!”
“In this round of the sect assessment, the focus will be on the disciples you've trained. As the sect leaders, you will not participate directly in the assessment. Instead, it will be carried out by the four disciples you each selected.”
“There are three parts to the assessment!”
“Each part will be scored!”
“In the end, the total score will be the sum of each part. Anyone whose total score falls below the passing mark, or who ranks last, will be considered unqualified! They will lose their First-Class Sect Seal and the right to establish a sect!”
Gu Hang finished reading the rules in a calm tone before waving his hand.
Soon, several staff members from Haotian Academy brought up various equipment.
Everyone's curiosity piqued as they looked at the devices, eager to find out what the first part of the assessment would be.
