Chapter Fifty-two: Winning Over

  On the small island, eight people had already won at this time. There were originally two more people fighting, but when they heard the voice of Tianqi, they immediately stopped as well.

  The two of them simultaneously had a smile on their faces, unexpectedly after fighting for so long they were able to advance at the same time, it was really great.

  Ten people stood still, and several instructors simultaneously released their powerful auras, infusing them into the stone slabs beneath their feet.

  One after another, the mysterious array of light beams lit up, and with a loud rumbling sound, the small island beneath his feet began to move once again. It was as if they were pieces of a puzzle, all the separate islands recombining into one entity.

  The floating ground fell back to the ground, and the stone slab that had been battered by the battle suddenly recovered as soon as it landed on the ground.

  This scene left all the new students in awe, while the old students didn't have any expression, after all they had at least seen it once before.

  In the sky, the nine great masters and the principal also slowly floated down.

  Ten huge tables and chairs fell to the ground, all instructors stood neatly on both sides.

  The Dean stood up and said: "Those who passed the first round, please stand on one side and wait for the instructor to select. The top 100, take ten steps forward, write down which academy you want to join, and hand it over to the instructor. The top 20, take twenty steps forward, can choose an instructor to join, become a named disciple of the instructor. The top 10, take one hundred steps forward, come and get acquainted with each of the branch instructors."

  All newborns heard the words and immediately began to take action.

  Those who made it into the top 100 are just winners of two matches. Those who didn't make it into the top 100 are all secretly resentful, thinking that if they had a bit more luck, their opponents were weaker, or their own strength was a bit greater, they could have chosen their academy instead of waiting for the instructor to choose them.

  Of course, they are much better than those new students who didn't even pass the first round and went to Xiangxiang Pavilion. Those people have to wait until this side is completely finished before it's their turn, pitifully without even having a chance to watch.

  The top fifty students were all excited, took over the pen and ink handed over by several instructors, and began to write down the academy they wanted to enter.

  This is a difficult problem. If we select inferior students, they can make progress, but in that case, the top 50 who have worked hard to get there will lose their significance.

  What if there are too many other competitors and it's hard to get in?

  These people are thinking about which college to enter, and the top thirty students are thinking about which teacher to choose.

  Some people have a clear understanding of the college and have already made up their minds, while others are completely clueless and can only choose based on who seems stronger.

  The first ten people in front were almost all excited.

  They had the opportunity to meet the nine great masters. If they could be favored by the nine great masters this time and get a chance to receive personal guidance, it would be even better.

  Lu Fan was also among them, but unfortunately he wasn't that excited. The only thing he wanted to see was which one of them was the master of Yuan Yuan Academy.

  Ten people stepped forward, and the eyes of all the other old students also gathered on them.

  For those who might become their junior, they don't really care. Instead, the top ten people are more interested in which academy they will enter. Because these people may be their opponents in the future.

  Taking a hundred steps forward, he stopped right in front of the nine great masters and the principal.

  The dean's gaze swept over the ten people, and he saw excitement, agitation, and other emotions. This was normal human nature, and the dean didn't pay attention to it. Instead, it was Lu Fan's calm and composed expression that made him take a few more glances. This kid was indeed different from others in every way.

  "Welcome to Wudao Academy. You can now report your names to the various branch deans."

  As soon as the principal's voice fell, a swordsman standing on the far left was the first to shout out.

  "My name is Mu Shuo, I can wield a sword, and I'm skilled in the Autumn Water Sword Technique. I want to join the Green Sword Institute, and I aim to master the most profound sword techniques."

  Mu Shuo looked very excited, his face flushed red. Qingjian Institute's Xuanzhen Master smiled, it had been a long time since he saw such a lively young man.

  Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, you can enter my Qingjian Institute. After two years, come to the top of Duanjian Peak, I'll show you a profound sword technique. But whether or not you can learn it is up to you."

  Mù Suì directly knelt down on both knees, facing Xuán Zhēn and said: "Master is above, receiving a bow from his disciple."

  Xuan Zhen was taken aback, he didn't say he would accept a disciple, this kid really knows how to take advantage of the situation.

  Shaking his head, Xuan Zhen waved his hand to let Mu Shuo get up and said: "For now, don't mention becoming a disciple. If you can master my swordsmanship, I'll take you as my apprentice."

  Mushuo said loudly: "I must be able to learn it."

  Xuan Zhen nodded, indicating that Mu Shao could step aside for now.

  Other old students saw Mu Shao's performance and secretly discussed: "Really shameless. But this move is really awesome."

  "Sigh, I wish I hadn't lost face like this from the very beginning."

  "You? Did you make it into the top ten initially?"

  。。。。。

  Mù Suō stood quietly to one side, and then the others began introducing themselves one by one. As if influenced by Mù Suō, these people's voices grew louder and more shameless, with a muscular man even showing off his muscles on the spot, causing several of the masters to burst into laughter.

  Finally, this guy was taken away by Shentu Shi's sentence "You come to Hengshan Institute, I will make your body as strong as a rock".

  However, not all masters are good-tempered, such as Master Xingyuan of the Yin Yang Academy, who has been cold-faced from start to finish.

  Ten people had four who wanted to join the Yin Yang Institute. Upon hearing their words, Master Xingyuan replied uniformly: "You may."

  His voice was devoid of any emotion, and Star Abyss Master's gaze was like a knife, making these few people dare not say anything more.

  Very soon, all eight people in front were selected. Two from Qingjian Academy, four from Yinyang Academy, and two from Hengshan Academy. All of them are from academies with good rankings. Those academies with poor rankings had no one chosen.

  Only two people were left, and Lu Fan was about to speak when he saw the principal slightly narrow his eyes at him. The glint in his eyes clearly meant "don't speak yet."

  Lu Fan remained silent and waited for the girl beside him to speak first.

  The girl's face was red from head to toe, and it was unclear whether she was excited or for some other reason. She was slightly shorter than Lu Fan, but her figure was slender and delicate, with a pair of big eyes that seemed to speak.

  "And you, which college do you want to go to?"

  Meng Yun Zhenzun spoke up, "Until now, not a single person has chosen the Floating Cloud Pavilion. This made Meng Yun Zhenzun very depressed. The Floating Cloud Pavilion was ranked third, even higher than the Hengshan Pavilion. As a result, Shen Tu laughed loudly and took away two people, but she still hadn't found a good seedling.

  This girl looks soft and weak, but Dreamy has just taken a look at her fighting skills, which are not bad, and can be carved out, so she asks aloud.

  The girl pinched her hem and said softly: "My name is Ling Yao, I want to enter...I want to enter Ming Xin Yuan."

  As soon as these words came out, Meng Yun was shocked and stunned.

  Wu You Master of Ming Xin Temple had always been watching the play with narrowed eyes. At this moment, when she heard that Ling Yao wanted to enter Ming Xin Temple, Wu You Master's eyes suddenly emitted a sharp light, like two flashes of lightning.

  Mu Yu's gaze was fixed on Ling Yao, and Wu Xie Zun asked, "Oh, you want to enter the Ming Xin Academy? Why?"

  Ling Yao seemed to not expect Wu Xiu Shizun to ask her why, and after a moment of contemplation, she said softly: "Because I want to practice the Quiet Mind martial path. I used to know an old man who said I was most suitable for practicing the Quiet Mind martial path. She also left this for me."

  Ling Yao said as she stretched out her hand to urge the strong wind. Everyone saw a shallow Taoist character appear in the center of her palm, which was almost invisible if not looked at carefully.

  Wu Chou Shizun suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Dao Xin Wu Ji."

  Li Ma, without a care, Master Shu Zun reached out and grabbed Ling Yao's hand, saying: "From today on, you will be my official disciple. Now, follow me back to the Ming Xin Academy."

  Without another word, Wu Xun directly pulled Ling Yao away. Their figures shot up into the sky and flew far away.

  A group of old disciples saw this scene and were completely at a loss. The other masters also slightly furrowed their brows. They didn't understand what "Dao Xin Wu Ji" was either, but seeing Wu Xiong's excited appearance, it must be an extraordinary martial skill.

  Meng Yun shook her head, got it! Another one was taken away.

  Only Lu Fan was left standing in front of the nine masters, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

  The other eight masters looked at Lu Fan with an unusual light in their eyes.

  Lu Fan cleared his throat and said: "My name is Lu Fan, I want to enter..."

  The words had just been spoken when suddenly Shizu Sensei spoke up, "Hold on a minute, young one. I have something to say to you first, listen carefully before making your decision."

  The other masters looked at Shen Tu with disdain, this guy is here again.

  Shen Tu naturally wouldn't care about the gazes of other Shifu, and if one were to talk about being thick-skinned, there wasn't a single person in the entire Wudao Academy who could compare with him.

  Face is also skin!

  "Hey, kiddo, listen up! If you come to my Hengshan Institute, you'll be my official disciple. Not only that, I'll also give you a set of Earth-level martial skills directly. That's just how generous I am - I'm all about taking care of my disciples. Becoming my apprentice is the right choice."

  Shen Tu smiled as he spoke, his eyes shining with intense light.

  Lu Fan's heart thumped wildly, a Ground-level martial skill!

  Damn it, he really wants to agree now.

  Unfortunately, Wu Chen's words still had to be listened to.

  Shaking his head, Lu Fan bowed and cupped his hands in respect to Shen Tu: "Thank you, Master, for your appreciation. However, I've already made up my mind, and I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

  Shen Tu was stunned for a moment, such temptation, this kid didn't even respond, he hadn't misheard, had he?

  When Shen Tu ate the dumplings, Xuan Zhen and Meng Yun both burst out laughing. Xing Yuan's mouth also slightly curved upwards, this little guy is interesting. Such temptation, not just anyone can resist it.

  "Alright, I suppose you're going to enter the Yin Yang Institute again. Xingyuan, this title of being the first among the nine major branches is really useful for you. Talents are flocking to your side."

  Xing Yuan said calmly: "You can come and fight for it too."

  Shen Tuo was stunned at the time, his eyes were blind and he thought it was clean, so he closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit.

  The dean said to Lu Fan: "Alright, go on, which branch do you want to enter?"

  Lu Fan's firm words: "I want to enter the First Yuan Institute!"
