Naga The Demon Beast

Just before when the discussions was happening back at the academy, the next slot of 400-800 was announced to take their test, however as soon as Yama stepped on the staircase, the staircase started shaking violently, cracks could be seen everywhere until the whole staircase crumbled into dust.

The cultivators were startled and shocked by this scene and they hurriedly jumped of the staircase as they did not know what caused this to happen.

"Everyone please wait for a few minutes we are currently discussing what happened to the Steps of Death!" the voice anxiously resounded after witnessing the scene.

Back at the academy where the people where watching the scene.

"Just what in the world happened to the Steps of Death. How can it crumble into dust?" Hui Ran was mind boggled by the scene, the Steps of Death which has never ever been scratched before crumbled to dust.

"They can only be two reasons why the Steps of Death crumbled into dust.. One is because a cultivator has more killing intent than the Steps of Death or the Steps of Death has malfunctioned somehow and crumbled." One of the elders replied

"Your saying someone has a killing intent that surpasses the 500th step? How ridiculous is that, you know the 500th step is equal to massacring a planet.. That is very absurd only the later can be the reason! The only answer is that the Steps of Death has malfunctioned and crumbled, it is now tpo late to do anything, We have to get the 400-800 slots to do their test otherwise they will say we have treated them unfair!" Hui Ran explained to the elders.

All the elders could agree to what Hui Ran was saying because it is totally impossible for someone to have that dense of a killing intent otherwise everyone would have known who that person was, wouldn't he be famous by now and also a legend?, however how could these people know that the person who was responsible for all this was Yama.

Yama, the Lord of Hell is also known as the God of Death, so how can the Steps of Death used to evaluate the mighty lord who is the sole proprietor of death.

"Hmm...Bring the Demon Beasts out!" Hui Ran shouted to the elder after contemplating for a bit on what to do.

"This....elder the demon beasts are currently out of control, Light Void is currently trying to bring them to their senses but is still no use the demons beasts look as if their scared witless" one of the elder hurriedly explained the issue about the demon beasts.

"What? How is that possible? The demon beasts are part of the second test if none of them are there then what would happened to all the tests!...." after thinking for few more seconds.

"Go and tell the elders of the beast hall to bring out Naga!"

"This...elder this is not suitable...Naga is a demon beast locked up securely even experts at the spirit realm will find it hard to tame it, and if we let them challenge Naga, all the cultivators won't be able to tame it!"

"That's the whole point we already have 5 qualified cultivators from slots 1- 400! We can just let them join the academy and it looks like we have already found the genius in a very long time. The reason why I suggested to bring out Naga is because we would have to provide them with a test just to make sure that everyone thinks we gave them fair treatment so is better for the cultivators with slots 400-800 to take the demon beast test." Hui Ran explained.

All the elders currently in the room could not deny Hui Ran's words because for them Fen Juechan is a genius that has achieved the impossible so chances of seeing a new genius is very unlikely however there was one person amongst the people who was in disagreement and this was none other than Ying Yue.

Ying Yue firmly believes that Yama can achieve the impossible even though that the Steps of Death has broken she was confident in Yama taming a demon beast as he has dealt with a real demon before so she was hundred percent sure that he can easily tame a beast but when she heard that they were going bring out Naga she couldn't help but frown.

The only person in the academy that can handle that beast is Light Void otherwise there is a high chance that the cultivators who is going to be taking up the challenge to be harmed by the beast.

"Elder by any chance, someone is able to tame the beast what will happen?" Ying Yue asked she still hoped that Yama can somehow show her a miracle.

"Hmph! even experts at the spirit realm will find it a hard time taming that beast do you really think anyone will be able to tame that beast?" Hui Ran replied coldly, he previously heard the conversation between her and Fen Heng so he can easily tell that Ying Yue was talking about the person before who thinks will beat the record but regardless is highly impossible for that person to tame Naga.

"This...but I am saying elder 'if' someone is able too then what will happen" Ying Yue didn't feel like giving up at all even though Hui Ran is the third elder in the academy, Ying Yue's uncle is also one of the elders of the academy therefore she will not need to care about offending him.

"Ying Yue! Hmph! Alright if someone is capable of taming that beast, he wouldn't need to do the other tests, He can join the academy." Hui Ran coldly said with contempt, regardless he firmly believed that no one is able to tame that beast therefore he didn't care giving this word.

Ying Yue was satisfied with the answer from Hui Ran, so everything else now solely depended on Yama.

At the trial grounds..

"Everyone! There has been an issue withe Steps of Death so we are moving onto the next test, but do not worry as long as you pass the next test. You don't need to do the third test and you will be directly appointed as a student of the academy.

For the second test you will have to tame a demon beast, the only problem is that the demon beast's current cultivation level is at tenth stage of the Elementary Realm." The voice resounded once again across the field.

"What isn't that just asking us to fail this test? How is this even fair!"

"noone here is at the first stage of the spirit realm, only some are at the tenth stage and even if you are, it will still be hard to tame it! Demon beasts are usually stronger than their cultivation level, This is absurd!"

When the cultivators heard the announcement, they were vexed because not all the cultivators here are at the tenth stage of the elementary realm, only a few are while the rest are at the seventh or the eighth stage obviously the only person who was here with the lowest cultivation level is none other than Yama.

"Do not worry if you cannot pass this test, as long as you can get a good result on the third test you will be able to enter the academy"

The voice resounded after hearing the discussions of the cultivators, it was true that even though Naga has been called up for the demon beast challenge, it is not possible for even an expert at the Spirit Realm to tame that beast because of its innate talents, however as he heard the instructions from the higher ups he had no other choice to follow the orders.

As soon as the voice ended, a person was moving a black box surrounded by a golden glow, if anyone from the academy saw the person they will instantly recognise this as none other than the eccentric teacher Light Void.

"Alright brats! I have no time for you lot.. so each one of your quickly get your ass here and star the challenge. Let me introduce you to my friend Naga!" Light void said as he opened the black box.

As soon as the cultivators saw what came out of the box they couldn't help shudder in fear, the scene in front of them revealed the demon it was a 25 feet seven headed cobra, it looked like it was ready to devour every single cultivator in front of it, but because of Light Void next to it some of its senses were cut off.

"Hiss...." as the snake started hissing it started emitting its aura around the cultivators, instantly cultivators who were at and under the seventh stage of the Elementary Realm fainted, apart from one person and that was none other than Yama, all of a sudden only two hundred cultivators were left from this slot.
