Academy Trial

"Can you show me the 'Devil Heart' assassin's token?" Fu Ziying asked.

"Sure" Ye Xian passed the Masked man's token to her. Like Ye Xian, Fu Ziying also found out the row of information on the token, when she inserted her essence energy into the token.

"This token has many arrays incorporated in it, so if the assassin is dead they will know immediately. I masked the aura of the assassin so that it will show the assassin is still alive." Ye Xian added.

"I, understand", said Fu Ziying, with anxiety and worry lining her face. It's her little brother they are talking about; Of course, she is worried.

She was also astounded by the fact, that the youngster before her was able to discern the hidden array's inside the token which she herself wasn't able to perceive.

Like the youngster, she was also a Numinous Master and well versed in Alchemy, but she couldn't find anything suspicious with her spirit energy.

Fu Ziying was ashamed and embarrassed by the way she treated him before. How could she have known that Ye Xian would be this capable?.

However, things changed when she found out about Ye Xian's skills and knowledge which was above her.

Being able to defeat a soul realm practitioner with mortal realm cultivation, and he was also Numinous master with Array Knowledge!

She has seen many geniuses in her life, but it's the first time for her to witness a genius who was able to defeat an opponent who is many levels higher than oneself.

Even though she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, just a description from her brother is enough to estimate his strength.

She has to recruit this kind of genius into her academy. Lately, her academy wasn't able to contend with other top rate academies because her academy lacks outstanding geniuses and resources.

Unlike the Rising Star Academy, the other two top-rated academies of White Moon Kingdom has powerful backing.

The Royal Crown academy has the royal family behind it and the frozen sea academy has frozen ocean academy.

If the youngster before she was to join the Rising star academy, they will be able to contend with the other top rated academy.

Even though she wanted to recruit Ye Xian to her academy, she doesn't want to force him. 'Let nature take its course', Fu Ziying sighed to herself.

"Little Guang, Don't worry, your sister is here. I will find some way to hinder the assassins from pursuing you." Fu Ziying said to her brother.

"I am not worried about assassins, sis. After joining the academy, I will eventually become stronger; Even if the assassins come after me, I will be able to easily beat them." Fu Guang said in a resolute and carefree manner.

Both Fu Ziying and Ye Xian were surprised by his answer. Ye Xian quietly praised his strong will, if he was frightened by this small problem then he is not worth pursuing the Divine way.

Fu Ziying didn't say anything, but she was inwardly happy that her brother possesses such a strong unwavering heart.

Fu Ziying passed the devil heart token back to Ye Xian. She knows it's safer to leave the token in Ye Xian's hands since he was able to mask the death of the assassin.

"Are you also here you join the academy?" Fu Ziying asked Ye Xian.

"Yes", Ye Xian answered.

"Sister, Big Brother Xian also came to join a top tier academy. It's just he hasn't decided which academy to join." Fu Guang added.

"This year, the trials are bit different compared to the last years. For the first time, the three top tier academies are joined together to organize a common entrance trial."

"If you successfully clear the entrance trail and, show your outstanding skills and strength, You may even be able to get the offer from all three academies."

"Our Rising star academy is the one who's going to administer this year's entrance trail." Fu Ziying explained.

"Wow! Sister, then if we performed well there's a chance that the three top tier academies will favor us, right?." Fu Guang happily exclaimed and asked with an excited face.

"Correct" Fu Ziying said.

"There are also other advantages like if you stood out among the various practitioners and shows you are a genius that's worth nurturing, then you will be given many resources and will be placed in the genius class." Fu Ziying said as she looked at Ye Xian.

Ye Xian was also surprised by the new information. 'Looks like I don't need to gather any information to decide which academy to join.' Ye Xian mused himself.

"Do you know how many and what kind of trials will be held?" Ye Xian asked.

"Yes. It's nothing confidential, many peoples know about the trials."

"The first trial is very simple, where you have to face the aura of the magical beast core of the golden core realm magical beast. You can only be considered pass if you are able to walk a certain distance under the pressure. This trial test's one willpower and determination."

"Don't think this test is very easy, the aura from the magical beast core will be ferocious and untamed. If you don't have a strong foundation and stable essence energy, the pressure alone will be able to crush your bones."

"In the second trial, you will be given a technique. Within an allocated time frame you have to comprehend and understand the true meaning of the technique."

"After that, you have to display your understanding of the technique by battling other practitioners. Your ranks will be based on your performance."

"Sister, what if someone already practiced that technique before the trials?" Fu Guang asked.

"It's not possible, because the technique is personally going to be picked by our dean. He has various techniques under his arsenal, some of which are not even displayed in our academy library."

"Thank you for your information."

"You guys chat. I am going to stroll around the phantom city and we will meet in the academy trial." Ye Xian wanted to look for some array materials. He also wanted to check for any pills or herbs useful for his and little jade's cultivation.

He doesn't want to attract some unwanted attention, so before he entered the restaurant he hid the little jade inside his robe as it's no problem for little jade since it was able to shrink its size.

"Big Brother Xian, Where are you going?. Let's travel together, after that we will look for some inn to stay till the trial starts." Fu Guang whined to Ye Xian.

"I wanted to look for some array related stuff to buy." Ye Xian hesitantly answered.

Fu Ziying thought over it carefully and realized she too had nothing important today. Moreover, Ye Xian had saved her brother's life so she at least wanted to help him in some small matters.

"Anyway, I don't have any works. I will show you guys some important places around the city and where you can buy various kind of materials." Fu Ziying said.

"Ok"

At first, Ye Xian doesn't want to bother the brother and sister duo's reunion, so he wanted to free himself. Since Fu Ziying herself wanted to help him, It won't be polite to reject her kind offer.

"Good! I also wanted to take a look around Phantom City too." Fu Guang exclaimed.

After paying their bill, the trio left the twilight moon restaurant. Both Ye Xian and Fu Guang followed Fu Ziying as she led both of them along the street of Eastern division.

"Sister, where are the guards? I told them to wait here. Did you send them back?" Fu Guang asked.

"Yes"

"Ok"

After walking for over ten minutes, the streets gradually became more lively. Ye Xian could guess this is some important area in the eastern division.

This was probably the most flourishing place, Ye Xian ever seen in his life. He saw a cluster of stores and many high tier buildings around him; various practitioners busily entered and exited the buildings, which showed how bustling this place is.

"This is one of the famous areas in the Eastern division, Black Crow's Dome. This area is famous among the students, here you can see students from every academy around the phantom city." Fu Ziying explained.
