The lights were red and the wine was green. The singing and dancing were even.

The jade fence was carved, and Zhu Yan was changed!

This was an extremely bustling capital, with power, influence, and Yan Yu … The place was covered in gold, and underneath this land was buried the bones of a city that n.o.body knew about.

After leaving the Di Feng Martial Palace, Chu Hen found an inn to stay in alone.

The bright candlelight illuminated the simple, quiet chamber.

Chu Hen sat on the bed, his heart full of confusion.

"Why did this happen? Could it be that Li Gu deceived me …. "

Chu Hen shook his head, and quickly rejected the idea. If Li Gu had lied to him on purpose, he would not have gifted him 30 primeval stone s.

It seemed that there was some unknown problem.

Thinking about the registration officer from Di Feng Martial Palace, it seemed like he had set his sights on Chu Hen.'s goal seemed to be to prevent him from entering the Martial House.

"I wonder when Instructor Li Gu will return?"

Chu Hen's eyes congealed as he muttered to himself.

After some thought, Chu Hen raised his eyebrows. He had made up his mind, with so many High Martial House in the capital, there was no need for him to be so stubborn about this family.

Not to mention, when Di Feng rejected him, it was not because he abandoned Di Feng.

As for Li Gu, if there's a chance in the future, we can just return the middle ranked primeval stone to his.

"We'll do it that way!" Chu Hen took a deep breath, as his eyes flashed with bright light.

… ….

The next day!

Mighty Elephant Martial Palace!

The bustling morning was full of vitality.

Before the sky brightened, hundreds of young men and women had already gathered at the main gate of Mighty Elephant Martial Palace.

These people were all here to register for the advanced academy's a.s.sessment. As one of the five great high level students of the imperial city, there was no need to explain how attractive Mighty Elephant Martial Palace was.

Amongst the crowd, Chu Hen was right there.

Elder Brother Long Qingyang was a student of the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace, so to Chu Hen, the Giant Elephant was naturally his first priority.

The bustling scene seemed rather noisy.

Faint signs of antic.i.p.ation could be seen on the faces of the young prodigies. However, even more people revealed worried and uneasy expressions. No one knew what Mighty Elephant Martial Palace's examination was going to be held today. How difficult would it be?

Chi chi …

Just then, the two tall and solemn bronze doors of the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace opened.

The atmosphere became quiet in an instant as everyone turned to look at the same spot.

Under the anxious and expectant gazes of the crowd, a few people from the Martial House wearing long gowns walked out. The middle-aged man in the lead had an extraordinary bearing. His pair of calm eyes swept across the many young men and women in front of him.

"I'm the teacher in charge of your a.s.sessment, Lu Su."

As soon as he said this, the audience was in a slight uproar.

"I won't speak any more nonsense. I'll start registering the basic information about the partic.i.p.ants. After I'm done, I'll begin preparing for the examination." Lu Su's words were very direct.

However, most of the people in the audience felt even more uneasy.

"You're taking the examination so quickly? Aren't we supposed to wait until tomorrow? "

"I'm not even ready!"

"Enough nonsense, hurry up and queue up to register!"

… ….

The efficiency of the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace was very fast, there were no delays at all. The person in charge of registration wrote down the basic information on personnel.

The information contained three simple registrations: name, age, and place of residence.

After all, this was only an entrance examination. Only after pa.s.sing would one be considered an official giant elephant student, and only then would one be able to get a complete picture of the situation.

Roughly an hour later, over two hundred young men and women who had partic.i.p.ated in the exam had finished registering.

Immediately after, under the lead of Lu Su and the others, everyone entered the courtyard of Mighty Elephant Martial Palace and was brought to a vast grounds.

In the center of the arena, there was a high stage. The length and width of the stage were all over a hundred. Standing on the stage were a dozen or so internal members of Mighty Elephant Martial Palace.

Lu Su and a few others walked up to the stage.

Many young men and women in the audience couldn't help but be affected by the faint nervous atmosphere.

Chu Hen, who was standing at the side of the crowd, swept his eyes across the surroundings with interest. From afar, the buildings of the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace were all extremely grand and tall, emitting a majestic aura.

Chu Hen was secretly surprised. The two of them were practically like the heaven and the earth.

After a brief exchange of words with the few people on the platform, they turned to face the crowd.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk too much nonsense. The examination is about to begin!"

"Roar …"

As his voice faded, a demonic beast's roar filled with deterrence abruptly swept out. Immediately after, even the ground began to faintly tremble.

Everyone's expression changed as they heard this. Turning around, they saw over twenty people pulling a huge cart over. On top of the cart was a thirty meter tall iron cage. The black iron cage was encircled by a gigantic demon beast that was over twenty meters tall.

The body of the demon beast was similar to that of a Savage Bear. Its abdomen had a white fur and its entire body was covered in dark brown scales. Under the rays of the sun, the scales shone with a dazzling l.u.s.ter.

"d.a.m.n, is that a 'Angry Scale Bear'? This is a great demon! " An exclamation came from the crowd.

"He wouldn't be giving us this great demon for the a.s.sessment, right?"

"Then why are we still playing with Eggy? Forget about pa.s.sing the examination, I probably won't even be able to keep my little life. "

… ….

Angry Scale Bear, a level one greater demon.

Its strength was equivalent to a level one The stage of the Natal Opening Realm cultivator. In addition to its enormous physique and astonis.h.i.+ng defensive power, even a level two The stage of the Natal Opening Realm martial cultivator would not dare to rashly provoke it.

The world was big and all living things grew.

Since ancient times, humans and demon beasts had coexisted in this world.

Due to the astonis.h.i.+ng appearance and power possessed by the Goblin Beasts, the Saint Star Dynasty was extremely vast. It connected the various Goblin Beasts in the vast forest and the forbidden mountain region … There was no shortage of young demonic beasts that some forces had hunted down and raised for their own use. There were also many forces that trained their demon beasts to increase their combat ability.

The cla.s.sification of demonic beasts corresponded to the cla.s.sification of human cultivators.

The lowest level was for young beasts, which had a similar initial stage of martial arts training as humans during the body tempering period.

Then there were the Little Demons, the Little Demons, and the martial artists equivalent to the Pulse Opening Realm. To ordinary people, they were extremely dangerous. A Greater Demon corresponds to a The stage of the Natal Opening Realm rank martial pract.i.tioner … There were also spirit beasts, beast kings, beast emperors, and other beasts with immense power behind them …

However, Mighty Elephant Martial Palace using the first level Spirit Demon Beast 'Angry Scale Bear', which was equivalent to a first level The stage of the Natal Opening Realm, as a test for admissions made countless people present powerless and furious.

Isn't this playing with people?

Amongst the partic.i.p.ants of this year's a.s.sessment, someone at the seventh level of the Pulse Opening Realm could be called an outstanding genius.

The Angry Scale Bear, on the other hand, could swallow a genius at the seventh level of the Invigorated Meridian realm in one gulp.

Everyone had long thought that the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace's a.s.sessment would be very difficult, but they never expected it to be this difficult.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards. Don't come if you're afraid of death …"

The crisp female voice was mixed with a faint hint of disdain.

Not far away, Chu Hen was astonished. He raised his head to look, only to see that the one who spoke was a slim and graceful girl wearing a white flowery dress.

The young girl had delicate facial features and was quite a beautiful woman.

In her slender jade-like hand, she held a gorgeous sword. The sword was sheathed, and there was a resplendent gemstone embedded into its sheath. Obviously, this was most likely a young miss from a n.o.ble family.

As if sensing that someone was looking at her, the young lady turned her head, and could not help but look into Chu Hen's eyes.

Seeing that it was someone she didn't recognize, the young girl couldn't help but lightly frown. Chu Hen, on the other hand, did not have much expression on his face.

"Bang …"

The ground shook, and under everyone's cautious gaze, the iron cage containing the Angry Scale Bear landed heavily on the stage. The angry bear opened its brown eyes and bared its fangs, which were as sharp as knives.

"Instructor Lu Su, the content of the a.s.sessment couldn't be to let me deal with this angry bear, right?" A question sounded in the crowd.

Lu Su smiled indifferently, replying in a clear voice, "You're only half right."

"Hmm?"

Everyone in the audience was startled. It looked like things weren't as difficult as they had imagined. There was still a turning point. However, what Lu Su said next almost made everyone spit out two mouthfuls of blood.

"The content of the test is to accept the challenge. This Angry Scale Bear is not bad, but it is not the same with all of you. The a.s.sessment was divided into several rounds. Only fifty people could partic.i.p.ate in each round. What you need to do is to endure the crazy attacks of the Angry Scale Bear as long as you can until the moment when we think you can pa.s.s … "

"Boom!"

Hearing Lu Su's words, the entire audience suddenly 'mourned'. The students who had been slightly relieved immediately called out to their parents, scolding Mighty Elephant Martial Palace and their mentor Lu Sheng in their hearts a dozen times.

Fifty Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists against a Level 1 Demon Lord.

If they were all students at the seventh level of the Invigorated Meridian realm or above, there was still hope. However, the students that came to take the examination were all different. Most of them were at the fifth and sixth stage of the Invigorated Meridian realm, and only a small portion of them were above the seventh stage.

"Instructor, can you form your own team?" An inquiring voice came from below the stage.

By forming their own team, they could gather the strongest fifty people to defeat the Angry Scale Bear. However, this way, those who were weaker wouldn't need to take the exam.

Lu Su's eyebrows rose, and he indifferently replied, "No, we can't. We will randomly choose partic.i.p.ants from each group."

The entire arena was once again in chaos.

"If there are no questions, then the a.s.sessment will begin."

Lu Su exchanged a glance with another young man not too far away from him. The latter tacitly understood and nodded his head, before flipping through the book that he had just registered.

"Next up is the contestants in the first group. Those who have read the names, please come forward."

"Windstorm City, Yang Feng."

"Yangzhou City, Liu Guang."

"Capital City, Li Gu."

… ….

One by one, the young men and women who had been called out stood up from the crowd and walked to the front of the martial arts stage. Soon, thirty to forty people stood in front of them.

The young man flipped through the pages, his throat moving slightly as he spat out two words in a loud voice.

"Lin Yan City, Chu Hen."
