Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 765 - Holy Master

The assessment time passed second by second.

Soon, the timer atop the small tower had reached three hundred breaths.

At this point, many cultivators had gone from boiling shock to numbness.

This child could no longer be compared to ordinary people.

Finally, at this time, Ye Shiyi could no longer hold on.

He was ejected by the small tower.

His final result.

Three hundred and seventy-two breaths.

"It's finally over!"

Yun Hongguang let out a long sigh of relief, at this point he had no mind to care about Ye Shiyi's results.

He was eager to finish early so he could go find his Miss Ji.

"Over? There's still one person who hasn't come out yet!"

Zhao Xuanmu, standing to the side, retorted with a sneer.

"There's clearly no one left in the tower, why does Miss Zhao say it's not over yet?"

During Ye Shiyi's assessment, Yun Hongguang had already exchanged names with Zhao Xuanmu, Hu Yangyun, and others.

After all, they were to become fellow disciples in the same academy soon, and should look out for one another.

"That red-clothed immortal entered the heart of the small tower and has not come out yet. I don't know how she managed to move around inside the tower on her own!"

Hu Yangyun detailed to him the events of Ji Huo'er entering the small tower.

"Ah?!"

"She went to the heart of the small tower?"

Yun Hongguang was stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a long while.

"Miss Ji did not just fail the assessment and leave, but went to the heart of the small tower?"

For a time, Yun Hongguang was filled with mixed emotions.

Originally, he was a prodigy with astonishing talent, having endured an impressive one hundred and twenty-five breaths within the small tower.

If Miss Ji had not passed the assessment, it would have been easy for him to pursue a disciple who hadn't been admitted to the academy, confident he could easily win her over.

But now.

He was told that Ji Huo'er not only broke the record but also entered the heart of the small tower.

What level of soul was that?

He simply could not hold a candle to her.

Now, facing Miss Ji, he felt much more pressure, even shaking his confidence.

"However, fortunately, Miss Ji has successfully entered Tianyuan Academy!" Yun Hongguang comforted himself with continuous thoughts: "As long as we're in the same academy, there's always a chance!"

"Why hasn't this immortal come out yet?"

"Could she have encountered something in the heart of the tower?"

As everyone saw Ye Shiyi being spat out, and with no sign of Ji Huo'er,

in the midst of all the geniuses' discussions,

a clear voice rang out in the void.

"Huo'er, stop making trouble, come out quickly!"

Qinchuan spoke.

He naturally understood that Ji Huo'er, often being by his side, had been tainted with his aura. As she entered the small tower, the tower's spirit had recognized her.

The spirit of the tower had guided Ji Huo'er towards the center for fun.

At this moment, Ji Huo'er was still idling in the small tower with the spirit.

After all, this was an assessment venue; as soon as Ye Shiyi emerged from the tower, Qinchuan couldn't let her continue the mischief.

"Ah, big brother is calling me, I can't play with you anymore!"

Ji Huo'er heard this voice, stuck out her tongue, and said to the tower spirit in front of her.

Afterward. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The crowd only saw the girl in red burst out of the small tower, heading straight towards the direction of their Emperor and the esteemed National Preceptor.

Ji Huo'er charged directly to Qinchuan's side and clung onto his arm, swaying it back and forth.

Their relationship was intimate beyond words.

When Yun Hongguang witnessed this scene, he was struck as if by a lightning bolt and stood frozen on the spot.

"What... what is this situation?"

"Miss Ji, how come you and the National Preceptor... "

Yun Hongguang stared blankly, murmuring to himself.

Ye Shiyi teased from the side, "I've warned you long before, but you kept pushing your luck. Are you ready to give up now?"

Not only Yun Hongguang, but all the cultivators in the distance were shocked by this sudden change, their hearts shaken, beyond words.

"Could it be that this Immortal Lady is the wife of the National Preceptor, the one with the Ji surname, from the rumors?"

Everyone thought this to themselves involuntarily.

...

At that moment, the elder in charge of the examination began to announce the results.

"From the first round of the hundred-people examination, seven people have passed! The best result is from Yun Hongguang of the Western Liang Domain, with a score of one hundred and twenty-five breaths."

When the elder announced this, many cultivators, including Yun Hongguang and Zhao Xuanmu, were all momentarily dazed.

"Seven people? How come it's seven people?"

"Even if the score of that lady in red doesn't count, weren't there eight people that passed the examination?

Isn't the best score three hundred and seventy-two breaths? How did it become one hundred and twenty-five again?"

For a moment, everyone was confused.

"Could it be that the young lad truly cheated, and therefore his score was invalidated?"

"Definitely!"

"I knew it, I held on for just over seventy breaths and that was already my limit, how could a kid of just over ten years old possibly last for more than three hundred breaths?"

In an instant, everyone was righteously indignant, convinced that Ye Shiyi had cheated.

All eyes turned to Ye Shiyi.

He just curled his lip, looking quite displeased, and spoke to the elder overseeing the exam, "Elder Xin, I did last over three hundred breaths after all. Aren't you going to count my score?"

"That kid, he dares to speak to an elder like that?"

The crowd's pupils shrank, shocked.

This young man, even if his cheated examination score was cancelled, how could he dare to question the elder?

Just as everyone thought the elder would erupt in anger,

The very next moment, the elder's actions left everyone dumbstruck.

The elder walked up to Ye Shiyi, bowed respectfully, and said, "Holy Master, it's not that I did not count your score, but the National Preceptor instructed me to calculate it this way."

Ye Shiyi understood Qinchuan's intentions; he had taken a large number of Heavenly Treasures Materials, resources incomparable to these talents.

Comparing himself with these others was indeed unfair.

Thereupon, he walked towards Qinchuan to pay respects and greet.

"Holy Master?!"

"The National Preceptor..."

"This lad, he has a connection with the National Preceptor too?!"

A wave of excitement swept through the crowd.

Yun Hongguang had an epiphany: "No wonder this kid… I knew he was already aware of Miss Ji's background!"

"Silence!" The elder glanced at the crowd, his imposing Qi sweeping over them, quieting everyone down before he continued.

"You are the first batch of disciples to pass the examination and enter Tianyuan Academy. Next, our Honorary Dean, the Tianyuan National Preceptor, Young Master Qin, will present you with the admission medallions!"

This part of the ceremony Qinchuan had already known about; it was originally arranged for Ye Xuanji, but now with Qinchuan's presence, naturally, he would take over.

Without further ado, Qinchuan casually took out seven King Fighting Weapons, each bestowed upon one of the seven.

Facing the legendary National Preceptor, individuals such as Yun Hongguang, Zhao Xuanmu, and Hu Yangyun were already too emotionally excited for words.

As for Ji Huo'er, whom Yun Hongguang had longed for, he had thrown that thought out of his mind entirely, not even daring to cast a direct glance at Ji Huo'er any longer.

Later on, whenever Yun Hongguang recalled this experience, he felt a shudder of fear and palpitations: "Thank goodness I didn't do anything excessive, otherwise ten lives wouldn't have been enough to atone!"
