Swish~

Numerous rays of light shot up into the air.

There was a total of nine rays that were illuminating the area like nine resplendent stars.

His strength had actually reached 9,000 jin.

“Impossible!”

Bai Yifei roared with disbelief.

“How can this be possible? This doesn’t make any sense. Didn’t he already become a cripple? How can he still be so monstrous?”

At the side, Su Yuexi’s eyes were wide open. She had no way to believe what she was seeing was real. Su Yuexi betrayed Lin Feng and leaped into Bai Yifei’s embrace purely because of Bai Yifei’s talent.

Bai Yifei was destined to be an expert in the future while Lin Feng was nothing but a cripple.

But now, the reality was so cruel.

Bai Yifei had always been proud because of his talent. However, in front of Lin Feng, his level of talent seemed so ridiculous and trashy.

For the first time, deep regret surfaced in Su Yuexi’s heart.

“9,000 jin!”

Countless people roared in shock.

The four vice headmasters were included among the shocked people. Even the overall vice headmaster of the academy, Wang Lin, also lost his cool and shouted in excitement.

“Genius, a supreme genius. Who said that Lin Feng’s body had a problem? He, a cultivator at the sixth-level of the Martial Student Realm, could channel 9,000 jin worth of strength with a single punch. Is this something someone with a damaged body can achieve?”

Shen Guji, the vice headmaster of the Falling Moon Branch Court exclaimed in shock, staring at Lin Feng in wonder. He felt increasingly satisfied the more he observed Lin Feng.

The eyes of the other three vice headmasters were gleaming as well.

Even the overall vice headmaster, Wang Lin, revealed a look of joyful surprise. He then spoke, “A ten-star talent with the strength of 9,000 jin…Out of the three examinations to join the inner court, Lin Feng has completed the first two examinations perfectly. Only the last test of willpower remains. For those walking on the martial path, they have to experience countless difficulties. Only those with powerful wills can continue to push through and reign triumph over all difficulties. I wonder how strong Lin Feng’s willpower is?”

The four vice headmasters nodded hurriedly. Their eyes were filled with incomparable anticipation and their gazes could no longer be shifted away from Lin Feng.

At this moment, an uproar sprang in the public square of the Jialan Academy.

“Damn, how did this Lin Feng achieve 9,000 jin of strength?”

Bai Yifei’s eyes gleamed with hatred, and all sorts of negative emotions surfaced in his heart. Shock, unwillingness, jealousy, and even killing intent brewed in it. These emotions were forcibly suppressed, but they caused Bai Yifei’s face to convulse.

In the surroundings, many students unconsciously distanced themselves from Bai Yifei.

And many students began to inch closer to Lin Feng, smiling as they greeted him.

When had Bai Yifei ever experienced such a pitiful scene of being ignored before? His expression grew more sinister with every passing second.

Time quickly passed and the second exam soon came to an end.

There was a total of 1,127 people who had passed the second exam.

Deacon Song Canghai then spoke, “This deacon shall first congratulate everyone who managed to pass the second examination. Next, the last examination has got to do with one’s willpower. The exam’s location will be before the Great Emptiness Cliff, inside the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.”

The martial path was a path filled with thorns. Only those with powerful will could slice the thorns and be unafraid of difficulties, continuing to walk down the path.

Hence, the third examination was extremely important.

The overall vice headmaster took out a jade talisman and activated it.

The jade talisman then soared into the air and flew toward the depths of the Great Emptiness Cliff.

“Bzz~”

Next, a beam of divine light shot out from the depths of the Great Emptiness Cliff.

The divine light enveloped the area, turning the space into a mysterious world of illusions.

“The third exam shall begin.” Deacon Song Canghai called out loudly.

The students then began entering the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.

The Great Emptiness Illusory Realm could cause those who came in to enter a world of illusion where they would find it hard to extricate themselves.

The shorter the time one took to exit the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm, the stronger their willpower would be.

“Li Yun, five minutes and thirty seconds. Eliminated.”

“Sun Wei, five minutes and ten seconds. Eliminated.”

“Zhang Xiaoya, four minutes and thirty-two seconds. Eliminated.”

“Sun Nan, two minutes and fifty-four seconds. Passed!”

The students entered the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm one by one, but the vast majority failed. Only very few people could pass the third test.

If they couldn’t exit it within three minutes, they would be considered to have failed.

“Su Yuexi also came out. She took a total of two minutes and forty seconds,” commented someone with an envious look on his face while staring at Su Yuexi who had just exited the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.

After Su Yuexi, Bai Yifei began to walk toward the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.

Time flowed by.

Only a total of one minute and thirty seconds passed before Bai Yifei exited the trial.

“How swift!” exclaimed a lot of people in admiration.

The eyes of the overall vice headmaster and the four vice masters all lit up.

Exiting the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm within two minutes was a feat that hadn’t been accomplished for quite a few years.

Bai Yifei only used a total of ‘one minute and thirty seconds’. From this, one could see that Bai Yifei’s willpower was pretty strong.

At this moment, Lin Feng also walked toward the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.

He drew in a deep breath and took a step into it.

BOOM!

In an instant, Lin Feng felt the heavens and earth spinning.

It felt like he had stepped across space and time and had entered another world.

“Gods and devils are immortal, the myriad of spirits will kneel in worship.”

All of a sudden, a low roar sounded out.

Lin Feng could see a fiendgod with three-heads and six-arms standing in the distance.

“Mhm? This is a fiendgod? He actually wants me to kneel in submission? What nonsense is this? I’ve inherited the will of the Immemorial Dragon Elephant. How dare a mere fiendgod wants me to kneel?”

A cold smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face.

The Immemorial Dragon Elephant trampled the earth and its head pushed against the dome of the sky. The force of a single shout from it would cause even the stars to shatter and fall.

Only that, was a heaven-defying existence that surpassed space and time.

Lin Feng circulated the Immemorial Dragon Elephant Art.

“RUMBLE~”

A terrifying will radiated from Lin Feng.

Above Lin Feng, the faint image of an ancient Dragon Elephant took form.

At this moment, the Dragon Elephant suddenly roared. The intensity of the roar immediately caused the images of the summoned fiendgods to crumble apart.

“Dong, dong, dong…”

At this moment, from the depths of the Great Emptiness Cliff, the melodious sound of an ancient bell began to ring.

The last time this mysterious ancient bell that represented the luck and destiny of the Jialan Academy rang out was eight hundred years ago.

“The bell chimes of the Great Emptiness Dao Bell… It has been eight hundred years. An emperor star must have descended.”

In a secret location of the Jialan Academy, an old man in closed-door cultivation had been awoken by the bell chimes.

His expression was filled with incomparable shock.

Swish~

The old man’s figure flashed, vanishing from sight.

BOOM!

Everyone could hear the melodious bell chimes echoing throughout the entire public square.

“Great Emptiness Dao Bell! The Great Emptiness Dao Bell has rung again. But why would it ring now?”

“The last time the Great Emptiness Dao Bell rang was eight hundred years ago, during the test of the fifth-generation headmaster.”

“That’s right. The talent of the fifth-generation headmaster was extraordinary. He was a nine-star talent and only took 30 seconds to pass the third test, exiting the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm. It was precisely because of this that the Great Emptiness Dao Bell rang. Now, the Great Emptiness Dao Bell rang again. Could this have something to do with Lin Feng?”

“Could it be that Lin Feng spent an even shorter amount of time to exit the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm?”

The eyes of the four branch vice headmasters shone as they stared in the direction of the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm.

The overall vice headmaster also turned his gaze over, his face filled with anticipation.

However, Lin Feng didn’t exit.

Lin Feng initially wanted to leave the Great Emptiness Illusory Realm, but at this moment, an old man silently appeared within the realm as well.
