Rumble rumble rumble!

With a blinding flash, the nine nine dragon stone columns simultaneously began to emit shocking light.

"This... "This …"

The elders of the four academies were all stunned. Wang Bao's mouth was trembling, and he was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

When a martial artist tested their martial spirit's potential, it was usually when a beam of light completely lit up, but only after that did the other nine dragon pillar begin to glow.

They had never seen a martial artist test their martial spirit's potential, and all nine pillars of light would shine at the same time.

The moment Chu Xingyu arrived, she immediately lit up the nine dragon stone pillars. How glorious and dazzling was this!

"This is bad!"

At this moment, the expressions of all four elders changed.

The nine beams of light on the nine dragon stone pillar suddenly broke through the clouds, seeming to pierce through the void.

​

In the middle of the thick pillar of light, the dragon carved on the nine stone pillars let out an ear-splitting growl at the same time.

"Nine dragons rising to the Heavens! Nine dragons rising to the Heavens!"

Wang Bo's eyes widened to the size of bells.

The nine divine dragons broke through the stone pillars and rose up into the sky.

He had only seen a dragon roar.

He had only seen nine dragons roaring in unison in books.

However, he had never seen nine dragons that could break through the stone pillar's shackles and soar into the sky.

There were no records in the annals of history.

Wang Bao had finally seen it today.

However, this was far from over …

The clouds of fire in the distance were like the apocalypse. They were like boiling bubbles as they surged towards Lu Ming City with astonishing momentum.

Under the cover of the burning clouds, the whole of Lu Ming City seemed like the end of the world.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Rumble rumble rumble!

Rumble rumble rumble!

"..."

In the clear sky, accompanied by the clouds of fire, countless lightning bolts came crashing down.

"Dodge!"

Tens of thousands of martial artists were panicking in the selection field. They were like ants that were fleeing for their lives, avoiding the thunder.

The entire crowd was panicking, only Chu Xingyu still looked as if she was an old student meditating.

He closed his eyes tightly and placed his right hand on the nine dragon stone pillar. His position hadn't changed at all.

Apparently, none of what was happening in the outside world had anything to do with him.

The myriad of golden lightning bolts moved around him as if they had eyes of their own, hacking away at other places.

"..."

In the dark river, Chu Xingyu seemed to feel the shadow behind her change again.

This time, it was not him, but the figure that he had seen in the Kunlun Spirit Liquid.

The silhouette stood behind him, gazing at him curiously, but he did not say a word.

"Who are you?"

The figure continued to remain silent.

"Just who are you?"

Just as Chu Xingyu asked, the silhouette behind her suddenly disappeared.

Thick clouds tore open cracks in the sky, as if a giant had opened its eyes. A world-shocking roar came from within.

However, only Chu Xingyu alone could hear it.

"Heaven Defying Martial Spirit!"

With that, the nine dragon stone pillar in front of Chu Xingyu exploded with a boom.

Shrapnel sputtered out from ten miles away...

At the same time, within the borders of the country of fire.

All the nine dragon stone pillars that tested the martial spirit's potential were shattered at this moment without exception.

On this day, the entire country was in an uproar, but no one knew what was going on.

After the stone pillar exploded, the strange phenomenon in the sky stopped.

The selection field regained its calm once more.

The originally grand and imposing selection field was now in a complete mess. A stench of burnt flesh from the lightning strikes pervaded the entire selection field.

Silence!

The entire venue was deathly silent!

This was especially true for Lin Polang. His face was pale as he sat on the ground.

At this moment, his heart was dead. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was that he would never be able to compare to Chu Xingyu.

"Grade nine martial spirit, it turned out to be a grade nine martial spirit!"

On the high platform, the gaze Wang Bao used to look at Chu Xingyu was no longer as if he was looking at an ant.

Love, envy, jealousy, and fear spread across Wang Bao's face.

But most of all, it was respect, respect that he had never felt before!

Today, he had met such a genius, a peerless genius, in the inconspicuous fifth level city of the small city of New Deer City.

A grade nine potential martial spirit. Since the founding of the Fire Dance Country, there had never been a martial artist who had the potential to reach such a level.

As long as they could cultivate this martial artist well, it was extremely likely that the situation of the four great academies of the Fire Dance Country would change.

It could even be said that whoever possessed Chu Xingyu would be able to rule over the entire Fire Dance Empire.

"Chu Xingyu, Weiyang Academy welcomes you!"

"Chu Xingyu, if you come to my Tranquil East Academy, you will definitely be able to accomplish a great feat."

"Chu Xingyu, Illusory Night Academy needs a genius like you."

The Elders of the three academies, who had originally only come to pay a visit, could no longer sit still. Even if they knew that this was against the academy's rules of not recruiting students from the other academies, they still had to recruit Chu Xingyu.

"Chu Xingyu is the genius of my Fengtong Academy. He wants to enter the most, but our Fengtong Academy, how could we go with you?"

Wang Bao made a gesture of hugging Chu Xingyu before saying, "Chu Xingyu, my school, Fengtong Academy, officially welcomes you to join us!"

"..."

"No …" This is not true! "

Chu Xingyu's grade nine martial spirit talent had already made Lin Pao's face ashen, and the recruitment for the four academies had ruthlessly slapped his face.

The academy's reputation was limited. Now that Wang Bao had recruited Chu Xingyu, it meant that he had given up on himself.

"Elder Wang Bao, you were certain that Lin Polang was the one who was chosen. Furthermore, you promised me that you would allow Lin Polang to enter the academy."

The head of the Lin Clan had promised his son that he would be able to get a placing in the academy.

But now that the only spot had been given to Chu Xingyu by Wang Bao, Lin Tong's expression was extremely ugly.

"Whoever I say is who it is. If you dare to say more, scram back to the academy!"

Wang Bao's harsh treatment was the answer to Lin Tong.

"Elder Wang Bao …" "I …"

"Get lost!"

Lin Tong had never been scolded like this by Wang Bao before.

His face alternated between green and white before he could only dejectedly stand behind Wang Bao.

However, the gaze he used to look at Chu Xingyu was laced with venom.

The reason he wasn't able to do anything was all because of him.

Lin Tong was a direct descendant of the Imperial City's Lin Clan. His background was formidable, and he was even the outer court's top student.

Normally, Wang Bao would treat him leniently because of his ability.

But now, compared to Chu Xingyu, Lin Tong's potential was only slightly weaker.

Just like the light emitted from a grain of rice, how could it compete with Haoyue?

In the world of martial dao, the strong were respected.

At this moment, in Wang Bao's eyes, Lin Tong's position had already been ranked under Chu Xingyu.

It could even be said that as long as he could recruit Chu Xingyu, Lin Tong would be able to kick him away like a dead dog.

"Elder Wang Bao, did you promise me before that I could fight Chu Xingyu to the death!"

"I want to fight Chu Xingyu to the death right now!"

Knowing that he had lost his right to enter the academy, the despairing Lin Tong pleaded.

"When did I ever say that a life-and-death battle can occur?"

"Besides, who do you think you are? You think you're qualified to compete with the genius Chu Xingyu? "

Wang Bao mercilessly refused Lin Polang's request.

His face turned cold as he scanned the crowd.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you ants, especially the people from the Lin family. If anyone dares to be rude to Chu Xingyu, don't blame me for being merciless."

Wang Bao had automatically forgotten that he had taken the initiative to make things difficult for Chu Xingyu.

Chu Xingyu had the strength to become an expert, and the current Wang Bao was incomparably gentle.

"Chu Xingyu, you don't have to care about an ant like Lin Polang. If you come with me to Fengtong Academy, I will guarantee that you can enter the inner courtyard within two years."

However, Chu Xingyu refused Wang Bao's good intentions. His eyes were ice-cold as he slowly spat out a few words.

"Right now, I'm going to have a life-and-death battle with Lin Polang."
