Chapter 35 Passing the Selection
“Oh my god!” “Who is this person?”
“Did he really defeat Stron in just one move?”
“This is simply unimaginable!”
The audience looked like they had seen a ghost as they stared at Arthur. There was someone this strong from outside?
Especially the young transcendent who had been kicked down by Stron. He looked at Arthur and gulped. They were all transcendents, but the difference between them and Arthur was like heaven and earth!
The teacher in charge of tabulating the information also widened his eyes!
He had never seen such a scene in his life. Someone actually defeated a student from the academy so easily!
Just as he was about to walk over and ask for Arthur’s personal information, two clapping sounds resounded from the side. It was Jynx and her father, Viscount Alger.
Jynx was dressed in an exquisitely-made robe. It was smooth, flat, and embroidered with beautiful patterns. Additionally, she wore a gold brooch on her chest and a purple tassel belt around her waist, exuding a noble aura.
“Congratulations, Arthur.” Jynx said as she clapped.
“You’ve done well.” Viscount Alger also nodded in satisfaction. Arthur was much stronger than he had imagined.
On the other hand, the information registrar was astonished when he heard Jynx mention Arthur’s name. The person in front of him was Arthur?
The same person who defeated Grott and Ferguson simultaneously?
He had thought it was just a rumor, but now it seemed true.
Outside the platform, Stron was still groaning in pain. It was obvious that Arthur had injured him.
“Thank you, Sir Alger.” Arthur bowed to Viscount Alger.
“You don’t have to thank me. After all, you were able to enter the academy with your own strength.”
“All I did was help solve some problems that shouldn’t have involved you in the first place.”
As he said that, Viscount Alger glanced at Jynx. That gaze was obviously implying that she caused trouble every day.
Jynx stuck her tongue out and made a face. They immediately burst out laughing.
Then, Viscount Alger said to Arthur, “Go in and wait for a while. After the selection ends in a few hours, we’ll leave Cantero City in the afternoon on a magic spaceship.”
Arthur nodded and walked into the lounge.
He looked at the noisy crowd, and the academy qualifications close at hand as if he was in a dream. A few days ago, he was still weak at energy level one. Now, he had already become a student at one of the empire’s top transcendent academies!
Everything that happened these few days felt fake. Arthur couldn’t believe he had come so far.
He gripped the sword in his hand tightly; all of this happened thanks to Lu Yu.
Outside, after Stron was carried out, another student from the academy replaced him. Seeing Arthur pass the test so easily, many participants were tempted to take the challenge.
However, just as someone went on stage, they were thrown down with a loud bang.
They were defeated one after another. Soon, the restless crowd gradually quieted down.
Arthur rested in the lounge for a long time before he saw a few people walk in with swollen faces. These people had also passed the selection like him. However, they were in a much worse state compared to Arthur. Obviously, they had been beaten up frequently during the assessment.
It wasn’t until they had lunch and rested for a while that the crowd outside slowly dispersed.
While Arthur was meditating, Jynx walked in and said cheekily, “Let’s go. The selection has ended, so let’s go to the ship.”
“Alright,” he said.
Arthur didn’t refuse Jynx’s invitation, and he immediately followed. The other new students behind him also followed behind under the guidance of some other teachers.
After passing through a few buildings, the group of people finally saw light again.
Opening the door, they saw a huge square surrounded by four walls. There was also a huge object inside the square.
Lu Yu looked over. The thing in front of him looked like a ship in his previous life. It was enormous and looked like a ship from the last century, but it seemed to be fused with magic and technology.
On the spaceship was a huge platform that could easily accommodate hundreds of people. At this moment, many people were already seated on the spaceship.
Arthur looked up and saw two familiar figures. It was Grott and Ferguson.
They had recovered and were sitting on the spaceship, looking at Arthur gloomily. Arthur didn’t care about them. Instead, he inspected the ship,
Many lines were drawn on the spaceship’s surface, with gemstones of various colors arranged at the key points of these lines. Moreover, these gemstones flashed with light from time to time. The light would follow the drawn lines and become the power of the entire spaceship.
Arthur, along with the others, curiously observed the view before them. It was the first time they had seen such a huge magic spaceship, and they were excited.
“Let’s get on.” Jynx said to everyone. Then, she stepped up the stairs and got on the spaceship.
Everyone, including Arthur, followed behind her.
“Everyone’s here, we can take off!” After Jynx shouted to one of the rooms in the ship after doing a headcount.
Immediately, all the gems on the spaceship’s body burst out with dazzling light!
The drawn lines also began to shine. After a crunching sound, the huge spaceship rose from the ground!
ose
A few transcendents looked down from the ship’s side with a curious expression.
Soon after, Cantero City quickly shrank, and the entire city’s appearance came into view. The vast feeling of the sky made the students breathe faster, but they quickly calmed down as they were transcendents.
On the spaceship, a group of students from the academy gathered together on one side. On the other hand, the newcomers who passed the selection sat on the other side.
These people unconsciously moved closer to Arthur as if he was their leader. This was because Arthur’s performance on the platform had shocked everyone. Among the newcomers, Arthur was the strongest.
While Arthur was deep in thought, a freckled boy with a swollen face walked over.
“Hello. I’m Victor, and I come from Hisri town. We’ll be studying together in the academy soon, so I hope we can help each other while learning.”
“Hello, I’m Arthur.” Arthur replied indifferently.
