Translator: Yixiaolan Editor: Yixiaolan

Time flied. Zhang Yan had cultivated very hard for half a month and he achieved the peak of a Xiantian Warrior. He failed to break through to the sixth level of Xiantian Stage twice, but his strength was improved a lot. He had enough confidence to defeat Long Yu.

Moreover, Asura Change offered him the Ultimate Capacity which he would take as a last resort. It was his trump card.

In the morning, Zhang Yan just got up and Fatty came to him happily, Big brother, why did you get up so late? Wash yourself and lets go. Fatty had holed up cultivating until yesterday after taking the Cloud Spirit Grasses from Zhang Yan last time and he also broke through to the third level of Xiantian Stage.

Zhang Yan asked confusedly, Why did you get up so early today?

Early? Do you know what day it is? asked Fatty.

Zhang Yan said indifferently, Is it not the day of entry exam of inner disciples? Why are you so anxious? It will be beginning one hour later. No hurry. You are just at the third level of Xiantian Stage, do you want to join in it? Arent you afraid of losing your life?

Fatty smiled, Participation matters. I should become familiar with the exam this year and I will be more likely to succeed next time. Maybe I could get a first.

This time my main task is to cheer for you. The school is so generous that it plans to reward the champion with a book, Superior Martial Skill of Human Level. It is more precious than any other prize of the past exams. Dont you want it? asked Tatty.

Zhang Yan also turned the issue over in his mind. He didnt want to be too much of a show-off. He would be content to just pass the exam, but Fattys words interested him because he dreamed to get the superior martial skill of human level. He would have defeated Long Yu last time but for Long Yus cultivation in martial skill. If he also cultivated it, he could have fought against opponents like Long Yu with ease.

In Qingyuan School, the entry exam of inter court disciples was held every year on just one day.

The exam location was in a large underground palace which was a huge mountain. It didnt looked different from an ordinary one, but the mountain inside was transformed into an exam location by Qingyuan school. The eight-storeyed structure was installed with lots of traps and some storeys even had demonic beasts of Xiantian Stage. It was dangerous inside the mountain.

Anyone who fought his way through the sixth storey successfully could be an inter court disciple of Qingyuan School, after which his status would be improved a lot. However, the last two storeys were very tough to break through. For thousands of years, only several disciples passed the seventh storey and no one passed the last storey since it had been built.

Nobody knew what was in the eighth storey.

There were tens of thousands of people in the hall of underground palace.

Most of them were at the fourth level of Xiantian Stage, because all people knew that being at such level was the minimum requirement to pass the exam.

Some disciples including Fatty were at the third level of Xiantian Stage and came hoping they would pass in a troubled situation. It was impossible for them to pass but a few were lucky enough to succeed.

There were also a small portion of fifth levels here. They were geniuses in outer court and they aimed to get a first rather than pass the exam because the reward was so tempting.

So many people come earlier. The exam seems to attract many disciples, Fatty looked at the large crowd and sighed, and it seems that they come for martial skill.

Zhang Yan said nothing but stood with Fatty in the crowd, waiting for the exam calmly.

Look! Is that Long Yu, the leader of Green Gang?

Wow, its him! Unexpectedly, he comes so early!

Yes, he is the chief disciple of outer court. He must be the champion.

Zhang Yan followed their eyes, watching Long Yu walking to the hall arrogantly with some disciples. When the crowd recognized Long Yu, they all made way for him. He walked through the crowd, straight to the front of the palace hall. He looked around and shook his head disappointedly, Does Zhang Yan not come?
