Killing Chi Xiao was something that was inevitable, but Chu Chen would definitely not tolerate this person being alive, otherwise, the hidden danger would always be there. If he were to enter Meteorite Academy, Liu Rourou and the others would not be able to continue hiding in there.

When the Violet Thunder Sword was returned to its scabbard, the corner of Chu Chen's mouth revealed a cold smile. This sword was not bad to use, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Chu Chen took it in his hand and looked at it, it was clearly a low grade spirit treasure, but it was filled with sword marks, many of them were left behind during the last fight, so his defense was definitely low.

Now, there were no more troubles. The only ones they were worried about, the Mo Family and Zhou Family, didn't dare come knocking on their doors for the time being due to Myriad Treasures Pavilion. What they needed to do next was to prepare their Meteorite Academy.

Counting the time, it would only be a month or so before the start of the battle.

The next day, the news of Blood Fiend Alliance's Chi Xiao's murder spread like wildfire, causing yet another round of discussion.

Many people guessed that Chu Chen was the most likely culprit for Chi Xiao's death. Back then, when Chu Chen challenged the Blood Evil Alliance alone, many people knew of the grudge between the two parties.

"This Chu Chen is truly a strong force. He waved his sword towards Qingcheng Island, defeated all the heroic elites of Free City, and even killed Chi Xiao, who was using his Spiritual Martial Stage. You have to know, he is only using his Bloody Martial Stage right now, if one day he reaches that level, then …" Thinking of this, countless martial artists looked forward to it more and more. It was as if a martial arts master was slowly rising.

Not long after, this name's owner would probably appear in the Meteorite Academy.

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Meteorite Academy disciple recruitment arrived.

In the past few days, the recommended disciples from the various empires had all rushed over. At this moment, they were gathered at the Meteorite Academy entrance, and looking from afar, there was a sea of people, filling up a large space.

Chu Chen was one of them, with a calm expression. Beside him was Fang Qu, and the two of them, were dressed normally, compared to the geniuses around, if they did not pay attention, they would not even pay attention.

At this time, around a thousand martial artists were majestically standing there. They were the favored sons of heaven of the great empires. The fact that they were recommended to come here meant that their cultivation base was extraordinary.

Chu Chen had thought of many people, but he never expected that there would be a thousand, hence he was slightly surprised.

That was to say, in order to recruit disciples, only the best of the best would need to have a very high threshold. From this, it could be seen that those who could enter the Meteorite Academy, even the weakest of the disciples, were the strongest experts in their own sects.

While the thousand people were waiting, a Spirit Boat flew out from the mountains in the distance. Its entire body was emitting a powerful aura, and on it, a few middle-aged men stood.

Riding on the Spirit Boat and flying, it was an eye-opener, it was also the first time Chu Chen had seen it, he had only heard of true experts in the martial way, flying through the air, casually controlling the energy of heaven and earth, destroying mountains and seas, punching through the nine heavens, and splitting the earth with their feet.

But after all, they'd heard that it was the first time the thousand practitioners present had seen a true warrior fly. Although it wasn't as frightening as the legends said, it was enough to bring about a strong visual impact.

"Meteorite Academy is indeed a good method. On the day of recruitment, perhaps other sects would pay attention to it and use it to display their strength and suppress all the major powers in the West Spirit Domain." Chu Chen analyzed with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Boat had brought everyone to the front of the group. On top of a tall platform, there was a person in black and white robes leading the group.

This was what a true expert should be like. He could control his own Qi and release it like a dragon or a tiger. He could hide it like a calm water.

The rest of the people who followed behind him all obediently stood behind him. It was obvious that he held the greatest authority; he should be the Headmaster.

Following his gaze, all the warriors in the plaza went silent. No matter how much of a genius they were, no matter how talented they were, they were only limited to their own sects. In front of the holder of Meteorite Academy, they did not dare act rashly.

"Everyone, it is my honor to have you all be recommended to come here. This old man is Yuan Cang, Vice Principal of Meteorite Academy, and I will be in charge of all of you take the examination today." When these words were spoken, many people were confused.

"Test? Isn't Meteorite Academy already recommended? Why is there a need to test it? "

"Hehe, I don't even know that. If one can be recommended, they might not even be able to enter, and they'll have to take part in the exam as well. Only those who pass can enter the academy to cultivate, otherwise, you would think that Meteorite Academy would recruit a thousand people every year. Some of the more knowledgeable practitioners mocked him.

"So that's how it is." The Northern Spirit Sect had been destroyed, so he did not have the time to understand this information, to think that he would still have to participate in a test.

The Star Region Academy would recruit disciples every year. If it was just once a thousand, then the number of martial artists in the academy would explode. The number of resources there would be astronomical, so it would be better to eliminate some of the weaker ones.

The survival of the fittest, natural selection, Meteorite Academy doing this, was undeniable.

"Next, I will introduce the test process. The Meteorite Academy is built in the valley, with the Heaven and Earth Arching Mai protecting it, thus the vitality is the densest, and behind me is the ninety-nine floors to the Sky Stairway of the academy. As long as you brave the Sky Stairway within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it will be considered as you have passed."

"An incense stick's worth of time. Ninety-nine stairs. So simple." Many people were astonished and could not believe it.

Chu Chen noticed that there were many people who had mocking expressions on their faces, but did not say anything. They seemed to know something, but deliberately hid it.

"Remember, your speed will be recorded. The top ten will all receive a Rank four Spirit Pill, the Body Penetrating Pellet!" The words of Vice Principal Yuan Cang had undoubtedly raised the competitive atmosphere among the people who were going to participate in the exam.

Hearing the fourth stage Spirit Pill, the plaza immediately became heated up.

"Body penetrating pellet, if I'm not mistaken, this pellet is specially used to help the Bloody Martial Stage break through to the Spiritual Martial Stage. The medicinal properties penetrate the body, nourishing the internal organs, making it easier for the Origin Energy to seep into the muscles and bones."

"Meteorite Academy, so generous. Each of the top ten will be rewarded with a tube body pill."

Chu Chen was also moved. After his Bloody Martial Stage had been completely perfected, he would sooner or later enter the Spiritual Martial Stage.

It was just a test, yet he wanted to create ten Spiritual Martial Stage disciples? If he placed this in any of the empires within the West Spirit Domain, it would be considered a big power.

"Gap!" Chu Chen said with a sigh. He remembered that back in the Barbarian Mountain City, Lin Kaiqing, as the city master, had also just broken through with his Spiritual Martial Stage. But compared to his Meteorite Academy, he, a disciple, could even surpass him.

"Everyone, if you hear me clearly, the test will now begin." Yuan Cang's loud voice travelled throughout the entire plaza, and just as he finished speaking, an elder by the side flicked his finger, releasing a ray of fire that quickly lit the incense placed on the stage.

"Charge!" With the incense lit up, many warriors shouted loudly and ran towards the Heaven Stairway.

The temptation of the Body Penetrating Pill was too great, and no one could avoid it.

"Chu Chen, why are you still not moving, although you can't get the 10 spots, but you have to guarantee to advance." Fang Qu was a little anxious, but in his eyes, all the thousand warriors were geniuses from different nations, so it was impossible for them to fight for the top ten. Even if he knew that Chu Chen was very powerful, he could not believe that he could make it in, so he could only hope to level up.

"No rush, didn't you see that we weren't the only ones who weren't moving?" Chu Chen said calmly. Sweeping his gaze across the plaza, he realized that half of the warriors had not moved.

These people had mocking expressions on their faces. They seemed to know what was going on, yet disdained to say it. Their auras seemed to be a lot higher than those who had already rushed out.

They were not in a rush, why would Chu Chen be? He did not believe that these people would not care about the Body Penetrating Pill, the only possibility was to watch other people taking the test.
