Chapter 470: A New Journey!

Chapter 470: A New Journey!

Half an hour quickly passed. Due to this second round, sixty percent of the students taking the examination from the five courts had been collectively eliminated.

Including the twenty percent eliminated in the first round, just the first two rounds saw the elimination of about sixty percent of the students!

Sixty percent—this percentage was already quite terrifying.

For someone like Ling Feng, such assessments might not be a big deal, but the difficulty was still significant. Otherwise, Tianwei Academy's annual advancement rate wouldn't be so low.

Soon, the third assessment began.

The instructors of each court led the students to a place similar to a gladiatorial arena, so the content of the third assessment became apparent.

Actual combat!

Only actual combat could be the highest standard to test true battle strength.

The rules for the third round of assessment were also quite clear.

Students had to face a demonic beast equivalent to the tenth level (ten meridian gates) of the Pulse Formation Realm. As long as they could endure the time it took to burn a stick of incense or defeat the demonic beast, they would be considered successful in the challenge.

Passing all three assessments would qualify the students for advancement to mystical-tier students.

Of course, the final decision on advancement would also consider their previous academic assessment scores.

However, generally speaking, given the weight of the martial arts assessments, as long as they passed these, they were likely to succeed in their advancement.

After all, Tianwei Academy was fundamentally an institution based on martial arts education.

As expected, for Ling Feng and his peers, facing a demonic beast at the tenth level of the Pulse Formation Realm was an easy task.

The final results of the advancement assessments would be announced in three days, and the announcement would mark the beginning of a two-month holiday.

Typically, during the holidays, students would return to their respective sects or families, venture out for training, or form teams with classmates.

"You little brat!" Leng Jianfeng pretended to be furious but didn't kick Wang Yishan as he usually did.

Although Wang Yishan often clashed with Leng Jianfeng, and Leng Jianfeng frequently found ways to mess with Wang Yishan, their bond was actually quite strong.

"Hehe, just kidding."

Wang Yishan said, turning serious. "Instructor Leng, even though you were tough on us, we all know you have a kind heart. You truly care about us East Court students."

"Hmph!" Leng Jianfeng, looking proud, slightly lifted his head, though his eyes glistened with unshed tears.

Although he hid it well, Ling Feng noticed. Leng Jianfeng, while seemingly unreliable, had given his all to teach his students.

This cohort of East Court yellow-tier students managed to turn their fortunes around, thanks in no small part to the efforts of their devil instructor.

"I'm not one for sentimental goodbyes. I'm finally free from you lot!"

Leng Jianfeng muttered, and then turned to Su Qingxuan. "Now, let's hear a few words from Mentor Su."

Su Qingxuan smiled gently at the students. "Everyone, although I may no longer be your mentor, I will still be at Tianwei Academy. If you have any questions, you can still come to me. And as for your monster instructor, I'm sure he'll be happy to help as well, right, Instructor Leng?"

"Hmph, helping these little bastards? Forget it!" Leng Jianfeng scoffed, glancing at Ling Feng, Li Bufan, and the others. "And those troublemakers better not drag me into their messes!"

Goodbyes were always brief.

Leng Jianfeng and Su Qingxuan soon left, and the students also dispersed. Ling Feng bid farewell to his close brothers one by one. Finally, in the chilly wind, he saw Qin Wanwan smile at him.

No words were needed; her eyes said it all.

She and Liu Yunfei then set off on their journey home. Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, knowing it was time for him to embark on his own new journey.

With only Ouyang Jing by his side, Ling Feng planned to return to Wenxian Sect first, as it was on the same route.

Of course, according to their agreement, Lin Xian'er, who was suspected to be the daughter of Duanmu Qingshan, would also be traveling with them northward to the Xianzong Mountains.
