Chapter 8 Finally Arriving at the Divine Academy
Chapter 8 Finally Arriving at the Divine Academy
"You think you can stop me? You think you can?"
Raising his hand to remove his hairband, revealing a third eye on his forehead, Yang Zichen declared arrogantly, "I am the son of Erlang Shen!"
"Tch! So you're just a spoiled brat who only knows how to call someone 'Daddy' when you go out?"
Yang Zichen was known as the king of setbacks in the early stages of the entire Divine Spirit Ranking. He was legendary for never winning. Despite his considerable strength, he always encountered various situations that led to him being thoroughly defeated, and he basically never won.
"Come on, I'll give you a handicap with one hand!"
Seeing Fang Xiu with one hand behind his back and only one hand pointing at him, Yang Zichen, whose face was already flushed, completely lost his composure. He immediately used his magic to strengthen himself and lunged at Fang Xiu.
"Weak forehand, poor backhand, loose footwork, and slow reactions—you're that weak? Are you really the son of Erlang Shen?"
To Yang Zichen, Fang Xiu's questioning sounded like the most vicious mockery.
"Raikiri!"
Yang Zichen channeled his magical power into his right hand, where lightning flashed like a thousand birds singing.
Fang Xiu's interest was piqued by the move that seemed to break the deadlock, and he beckoned to Yang Zichen, signaling him to attack.
Yang Zichen was at a disadvantage, but Ju Yunfeng was in an even worse situation, completely overwhelmed by Xiao Hu and unable to find any chance to fight back.
Although she hadn't cultivated yet and had no magical power in her body, Xiao Hu's monstrous strength was in no way inferior to Ju Yunfeng's. In fact, as the battle progressed, Xiao Hu's strength continued to grow, making Ju Yunfeng suffer greatly.
Of the trio, only Meng Buping had the advantage. Although Cui Shao also knew mental magic, he was no match for Meng Buping. If Yan Xiaoqi hadn't occasionally pulled out a magical artifact to distract him, he might have been defeated long ago.
Yan Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with tears. His goddess Meng Buping, he really didn't want to help, but he was a man of honor and couldn't do something like betraying his teammates!
Seeing that Yang Zichen and Ju Yunfeng were already at a disadvantage and might be defeated at any moment, Meng Buping immediately took off her mask and went all out.
Fang Xiu, who had been distracted by his surroundings, was not about to give them the chance. The moment Yang Zichen rushed over, he dodged to the side, grabbed the other's wrist with one hand, and swung him around, throwing him toward Meng Buping.
When her companion flew over, Meng Buping couldn't just leave him alone. She caught Yang Zichen, but then Ju Yunfeng on the other side was also defeated and was thrown over by Xiao Hu, who followed suit.
In an instant, of the three descendants of the gods, only Meng Buping remained.
Can we still fight? Yes, we can!
Meng Buping is proud and unwilling to admit defeat; she will not give up just because she is the only one left.
Just then, the Zexiantai (Immortal Selection Platform) not far away suddenly glowed, and a calm, middle-aged man's voice came from it.
The person who spoke was Bao Zheng, the headmaster of the academy, who was far away!
With so many students heading to the academy, the academy naturally had to pay attention to those who came to register. From the moment Fang Xiu and his group started their conflict at the Selection Platform, everything was already under Bao Zheng's watchful eye. However, seeing that the conflict might escalate if it continued, he spoke up to stop it.
The head of the teaching department, being the head of the teaching department he is, immediately launches into a long-winded speech.
"Raising a hand on Zexiantai violates Article 99 of the school rules... Fighting with classmates violates Article 11 of the school rules... Ahem, in conclusion, when you arrive at Shenxiang, come to my office!"
After Bao Zheng's long-winded speech, Fang Xiu and the others were drowsy. Yang Zichen and the others, who had just recovered, had already fallen asleep again. Bao Zheng's lecturing finally came to an end.
"Huh! No way?" XN
Upon hearing that they would have to go to the Divine Academy to find Bao Zheng, and thinking about having to go through this situation again, all seven of Fang Xiu's companions put on masks of pain. Even someone as easygoing as Xiao Hu couldn't bear it; Bao Zheng was too eloquent.
Leaving behind his final words, Bao Zheng fell silent. The light at the Selection Platform gradually faded, leaving the seven people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even after Bao Zheng's voice disappeared, none of them had any interest in making a move, and they stood together on the Selection Platform, clearly separated from each other.
At the altar of choosing immortals, there was an incantation. Fang Xiu glanced at it and found that he did not recognize it. There were four people in the group, two of whom were illiterate. When Cui Shao recited the incantation, auspicious clouds appeared beneath him and carried him up.
Fang Xiu and Xiao Hu followed suit, and the same auspicious clouds appeared beneath them. In the end, only Yan Xiaoqi remained. His unique talent made it useless no matter how loudly he shouted.
"ha!"
Seeing Yan Xiaoqi's performance, Yang Zichen couldn't help but let out a sneer, which attracted the attention of Fang Xiu and the other two, and Yang Zichen immediately stopped laughing.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Yang Zichen knew in his heart that he was far from being a match for Fang Xiu. He couldn't even beat one of them, let alone three.
Just wait! After the formal training begins...
Yang Zichen's three eyes were ablaze with fighting spirit; a single defeat could not break him!
Yan Xiaoqi tried twice, but Yang Zichen and the others had already flown far away after trying behind Fang Xiu and the others. Yan Xiaoqi still failed, so he simply gave up. Looking at the auspicious cloud under Fang Xiu and the others, his eyes rolled and he suddenly had an idea.
Ahead, Fang Xiu and his two companions were seen rapidly advancing on auspicious clouds, with a rope hanging behind each cloud. The three ropes converged and were held by Yan Xiaoqi, who was standing on a thin board, moving forward in a surfing motion.
"Wuhu! Go for it!!"
As Fang Xiu and his companions finally set off for the Divine Academy, in the academy's director of studies office, Bao Zheng finished lecturing Fang Xiu and the others and took a sip of tea.
"Lord Bao Zheng, it seems there are quite a few promising talents this year."
"They're really good. Although they're still quite inexperienced, they're all excellent kids."
Every year, the school recruits a number of exceptionally talented students who are far beyond the average person. This year's class is the strongest ever.
Among the descendants of the ancient dragon race, the ancient wind god race, the sons of the gods, and those selected from the human realm, there are also students who are no less talented than those mentioned above, such as Fang Xiu and his two companions.
Bao Zheng was looking forward to their future growth, provided, of course, that the children first came to him to receive punishment for violating school rules.
Although they had one more person on board, Fang Xiu and his companions still moved very fast on Xiangyun. The four of them took turns experiencing what it was like to be an aerial version of a flying man.
At this moment, several floating islands could be seen floating high in the sky on the distant sea, with auspicious clouds constantly descending on the islands from all directions.
"Look, we've arrived at the Divine Academy!"
"Wow! An island floating in the sky!"
"We've finally arrived!"
Following Yan Xiaoqi's pointing finger, the group saw a cluster of islands floating in the air. In addition to them, there were also a steady stream of new students riding auspicious clouds towards the Divine Academy.
Fang Xiu and his group looked at the freshmen, and the freshmen were also looking at Fang Xiu and his group. After all, Fang Xiu and his group came as a group, with one person trailing behind them, which made them look a bit special.
However, none of them paid attention to this minor issue. Soon, the auspicious cloud landed on one of the largest islands, and the four of them landed.
"Concentrate! That's it, this is the Divine Academy!" Yan Xiaoqi looked at the four large characters on the plaque above the gate, appearing quite excited.
The four of them walked through the gate and headed towards a place that read "Freshman Registration Office of the Department of Celestial Immortals".
According to the initial selection of immortals, the new students of the Divine Academy are divided into three categories: Celestial Immortals, Earthly Immortals, and Human Immortals. The Celestial Immortal category is the one with the strongest overall talent among the new students. Of course, some students with insufficient talent but with a strong enough background can also enter the Celestial Immortal category.
However, this does not mean that there are no experts in other departments. This is just the initial allocation. There are some students with outstanding talents but specializations in certain subjects. Although they are not in the Celestial Immortal Department, they are not necessarily weaker than the students in the Celestial Immortal Department.
The four arrived at the reporting area, where a woman who looked young was in charge of reporting. The reason she was described as looking young was because her true abilities were not yet apparent.
"Hello everyone, could you please give me my admission notice?"
Fang Xiu and the other two handed over their admission notices. As for Yan Xiaoqi, he was a special admission student and didn't need this thing, since he was definitely a celestial being anyway.
"The three of you have all been assigned to Class 1 of the Celestial Realm, and you'll all be in the same dormitory. Later, the divine messenger will show you around the environment, to the classroom, dormitory, cafeteria..."
"No class today, classes will officially begin tomorrow."
After the young woman finished speaking, she looked at Yan Xiaoqi and said, "Yan Xiaoqi, you have also been assigned to Class 1 of the Celestial Immortals. You can choose your own dormitory."
Yan Xiaoqi naturally chose to go with Fang Xiu and the others. Just as Yan Xiaoqi was about to show off his wealth and treat Fang Xiu and the others to a good meal, he was stopped by a young woman. "By the way, Lord Bao Zheng said that when you arrive, you should go see him first."
Oh, I forgot about that.
The group looked at each other, unsure what to do. They could only let it go.
