15 Combat Examinations

*Booom* *Booom* *Booom* *Booom*

Suddenly a loud gong filled the air, silencing the massive courtyard and entrance that spilled into the streets. Because about 10,000 women graduate each year, many girls showed up to join the academy. Many sponsors and Great Families also showed up to scout for talented graduates.

A loud voice backed by strong cultivation boomed out.

"Welcome to the Frozen Fairy Academy. I am Dean Xuiying, and I will be overseeing todays procedures. I ask that the families of our potential students please walk to the field and take a seat while each girl gets registered. You may follow our top student: Senior Sister Jian." Gesturing towards a pretty girl to her left.

Senior Sister Jian bowed slightly and left the podium to lead the collective of parents and sisters towards the colosseum.

Lolita let go of Da long and her sisters hand, and ran after the crowd while waving towards them. "Good luck Big Sis Leng'er and Big Sis Long'er!" she shouted from afar.

Tian Leng frowned slightly hearing her little sister calling a girl she had just met, 'Sis.' Be as that may, she remained standing silently at Da long's side.

Dean Xuiying clapped her hands, causing several of their soon to be senior sisters to line up ahead, with scrolls and brushes.

"Everybody line up. Once you reach the scroll, sign your name and age. The examinations will begin after every girl has signed in."

And with that, several hours passed before all the girls had signed in.

By now, roughly 17,300 girls had signed up to join their empire's premier academy. The academy had a special policy, where they would only accept half the number of students who applied. As such, each girl only had to win one fight to be accepted. For the girls that lost, they would have to hope for better luck next year.

Each girl was given a color and number related to their position to fight. There were twelve separate platforms surrounded by several thousand anxious mothers in their seats.

Looking at Tian Leng, he read her number as: Red 03004. His own was Green 1336. He was relatively pleased. 'Seems like there's no need for me to have to beat her.' He was disappointed slightly, because since she was such a cultivation freak, she would only be able to respect and follow him if he beat her.

Tian Leng on the other hand was busy studying the surrounding strong looking opponents. She was highly disappointed and let da long know with a sigh. 'Seems like I will only be able to find a good fight with the senior sisters...'

Blue 10033, Blue 00756, arena one. Red 15503, Red 03563, arena two...

The announcer for the combat examinations began announcing the battles for each arena, causing a wave of excitement and nervousness for the fights. For a trial such as this, it was fully expected for it to take up to a week, but for cultivators that was nothing. The girls however, still needed to sleep even if they could go without food.

As such, both he and Tian Leng watched the examinations unfold for several hours in complete silence.

For the first day he took note of several talented girls he should consider taking as his own. Tai Xue was a beautiful girl roughly the age of 18 that apparently came from a rich merchant family. She easily wiped out her competition, and Da long estimated her strength at the 'high' mortal realm, very close to breaking into the Body Realm.

Another was named Su Ai, and was at the same cultivation level as Tai Xue, but had already begun to develop her own martial techniques, showing that she must be from a predominately military family.

There were several other girls he took note of, plus several that he had to simply shake his head at. Several haughty girls had actually started the fight by viciously insulting their opponent, before attempting to disfigure their opponent.

By the end of the day, he had made a list of 62 girls ranging from 15 to 17 years old that he we would definitely make his.

Only the girls that had won their matches and had been accepted were allowed to sleep in dorm rooms.

The rest, like Da long and Tian Leng had to sleep on the hard ground of the colosseum. Surprisingly, Tian Leng's appearance became much soft as she slept, and even began hugging Da long's body unconsciously.

The second and third day were similar to the first. So far Da long had a list of 331 girls he was definitely interested in.

Each day, he held Tian Leng in her sleep, and released her before waking her up. Unknownst to Tian Leng, she had become much closer to Da long. Although she didn't talk, the distance between the two became closer.

It wasn't until the fourth day that his number was called.

"Green 01336, Green 07777, arena six."

Tian Leng who was currently beside him, moved aside nodding sharply, giving her blessings.

Giving as dazzling a smile as he could, he turned and walked towards arena six.

Tian Leng was shocked momentarily before adjusting her composure. 'I must be careful; I could really end up falling for her. Then my calm Dou heart would be broken.'

Waiting for him was a girl roughly 19 years old at the high mortal realm. Her eyes went wide as she took in Da long's beauty. She was another girl made to feel inferior by Da long's looks.

Da long in fact, didn't even realize that his celestial- feminine like appearance made others feel inferior unconsciously.

Meeting his oceaning blue eyes, she immediately looked away and moved her head down.

Hearing permission to start, he stood still and waited for her actions.

Closing her eyes and breathing deeply, she started to steel her body. After several seconds of not moving, she opened her eyes with determination in them.

Moving into a fighting stance, she faced an open palm towards Da long and another near her waist. "Thanks for waiting. Good luck."

Da long simply nodded with a kind smile as he adopted what he thought was a cool fighting position. With one arm behind his back, the other pointed towards the girl in a similar fashion.

Seeing that she was a good sport, Da long decided to not embarrass her, and wanted to make her look at least a little good.

Slamming her heel onto the ground with a *pah*, she shot forwards while thrusting a palm at him.

Making his dodge look close, he swayed to the side and replied with a weak palm of his own. She managed to block his palm before replying with a kick. Once again, her kick was very close to hitting him, and he replied with a flick to her shoulder.

While it hit its mark, he pulled enough weight to make sure she'd only be bruised. With a grunt, the girl pulled back slightly and replied with a kick to his neck.

Without her even realizing it, the girl was unconsciously avoiding his face; afraid to damage something so perfect.

After several more rounds, Da long took two intentional hits to make it look real.

Finally tiring of this game, he dodged one of her palms and kicked out lightly at her gut. He infused some divinity to ensure she would be stunned but not harmed.

Taking his kick, she fell back onto her butt, and stared at him with a fervent look in her eyes. Because she stayed sat for so long, it was called as her loss.

Walking over to her, Da long helped lift her up to her feet. Dusting some dirt of her butt, he gave her a smile and began walking away.

"Uh umm," the girl reached out with a slight blush. "B-big sister, can I have your name?"

"Hm?" Da long gave her a pretty smile. "I'm Da long."

She stared at him for a moment. 'Big Dragon? Why would anyone name such a perfect girl that?'

Biting her bottom lip and swaying slightly, she moved forward.

"This little one is Xinyi, no surname. She wishes for master to take her as a disciple!" Dropping to her knees and touching the floor with her forehead, she shouted towards Da long.

'Oh? Did she realize I was holding back? Or was it my divinity she felt?'

Chuckling, Da long waved a sleeve and brought the girl up. "Ok."

With his simply reply, he grabbed her hand and began leading her along.

Walking off the platform, one girl sneered at him. "Reaaal good fight up there. The talent here just keeps getting better and better doesn't it," she said elbowing her friend. Nodding, her friend glared at Da long. Jealousy was written all over both's face.

Rather than looking at their faces, Da long was focused on holding Xinyi who just tried to attack her two seniors.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unbeknownst to anyone, a woman dressed in all white, including a veil was laughing. It sounded like the tinkling of bells.

"Ahh, my little Long'er is such a gentleman."

She was of course his mother, who was unable to part with him for even an hour. Although she said she would go home, she chose to follow him the whole time.

Shaking her head, she smiled.

Feeling a disturbance, Dean Xuiying looked towards an empty section in the bleachers. Knitting her brows she muttered, "Eh? I could've sworn..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still holding onto Xinyi's arm, he led her to where Tian Leng was waiting for him.

Once again without saying a word, Tian Leng gave him a sharp nod. She seemed to have a little bit more respect for him in her gaze. She had in fact noticed him pulling his strength with the girl, and was also confused with the odd force she felt when he kicked his opponents stomach. It was almost as if there was no force, yet the opponent was stunned.

She was also impressed his how kind he was to his defeated opponent.

"Nice to meet you," Xinyi said with a bow. "My name is Xinyi."

Tian Leng nodded slightly and looked away.

She was in no way rude to Xinyi, but she was severely lacking in social situations.

Very shortly, Tian Leng and Xinyi had accepted each other's presence. By this, I mean they were willing to share Da long as both latched on to one side of him as they slept.

"Mmm *smack* *smack* smells sh-o good..." Xinyi, in her drowsed state settled her head beneath Da long's chin where she began smelling him.

Tian Leng wrapped his leg with both of hers, and curled her upper body onto his belly before falling asleep.
