Chapter 55: The day of the Tests (2)
Huang Feifei was very excited today.
She was nervous at first and thought that the academy entrance exams would be difficult.
In fact, she even thought that she might make it into the top 10 in the first test, but she would not make it to the first position. After all, there are many hidden genius cultivators every year trying to enter the imperial academies.
But...
That didn't seem to be the case.
'I really have obtained the first place. I've become so strong and I didn't even realize it... Hehe, this is thanks to my love, but I feel proud of myself right now.' She thought at that moment with a big smile as she went up to the other stage where she would do the second test.
'I would have liked him to see me in these tests... As I understand, I must fight a student, if he saw me, he would surely be proud of me.' She thought pitifully as she looked around for him, but, as she already knew, Tang Yin was not there.
It's normal to maintain the honor of all the students who fought, they would not show the battles to the general public. That's why, after he saw the first test, he had to leave.
But Huang Feifei was still determined to give her all in this test.
So, she went up to her fighting arena.
The person going against her was a woman just like her, of the same cultivation as her.
'...Fifth Level, huh... Her aura is very unstable, I think could win in just a few moves.' She thought as she looked at the woman in front of her.
"The rules are simple, Miss Huang Feifei, you must hold 10 minutes in a fight against Miss Student present. She is within the top 25 students of the academy, so be careful. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can throw her out of the arena and you will win." Said the master who was sponsoring this confrontation.
Huang Feifei nodded.
When a student reaches the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Master Realm, they have the chance to challenge the top 100 Students in the Academic Ranking. These are all Central Students and each of them has one of the Central Elders as their teacher.
The top 100 students are the most respected for this, they are the greatest geniuses of the academy.
And the person in front of her...
Is one of the top 25 students!
A Top student...
A dangerous student.
But...
'She doesn't look as intimidating as big sister Xilei...' Huang Feifei thought at that moment with a calm smile.
"Please... START!" the teacher shouted at that moment and stepped aside.
The student who had been staring at Huang Feifei earlier quickly pulled out her spiritual weapon, which was a sword, and immediately ran over to where Huang Feifei, who had not yet pulled out her spiritual scepter, was standing.
'No defense?' thought the student in shock, but she didn't care, 'Hmph, if you give up as soon as you start, you're no good to be a student here.' She thought mockingly at that moment and made a horizontal movement with her sword to hit her in the side.
Huang Feifei then smiled, and just before the sword hit her, immediately summoned her royal scepter to intercept the sword strike.
*CLANK*
The loud clang of sword and scepter clashing sounded throughout the arena as everyone watched this match expectantly.
They wanted to know how talented this genius person was who had appeared this time.
Could she win? Or would it be close? Could She hold her own? Or would she lose?
Many questions were going through the minds of everyone present as they wondered what could happen.
Huang Feifei smiled calmly, and as soon as she managed to intercept the sword strike, she quickly used beautiful footwork to move to where the student was and gave her a strong blow to the chest with her free hand, which pushed her back.
Leaving her no time to rest, Huang Feifei quickly ran to where she was and swung her scepter forcefully to strike this student's sword, and the blow was so strong that she could not help but scream as her sword fell away from her hand.
Huang Feifei then knew she had won, moved her scepter horizontally until placed it under the neck of the student who had fallen backward from the impact.
She did not even give her time to use spiritual energy.
Tang Yin taught her many times that if she could knock her enemy out before her enemy could use spiritual energy, then she had won.
Because even if her enemy managed to get up, he would have a strong mental pressure of knowing that was knocked out in a very short time, and this would cause him to make mistakes.
So, Huang Feifei did just that.
The blow she gave her on the sword rather than remove her sword, she gave it to her with the intention that this would leave damage to her wrist.
Since she caught her off guard by pulling out her spiritual weapon until the last second, it would naturally work her attack, and she could beat her in just a few moves.
"Do you want to continue, miss?" Huang Feifei asked at that moment with a smile while looking at the student.
But...
How could she go on?
She was caught off guard, and her wrist was now in severe pain that wouldn't heal until a while later.
Still...
"I give up..." The student said with a sheepish smile as she looked at the teacher.
She is not a brainless girl and knows how to admit her mistakes and defeat.
Huang Feifei then smiled as the stunned teacher announced her victory.
She then walked over to the lady on the ground and held out her hand to help her up.
"Nice to meet you, senior. My name is Huang Feifei, I hope we get along well from now on." She said with a friendly smile.
The girl was a little surprised by this, but after her initial surprise, she smiled back at her and got up with Huang Feifei's help.
"Thank you very much, Miss Huang, I also hope you will take care of me in the future. I think I will be relegated to nothing in front of you before long. You really surprised me this time, I couldn't even understand how I lost." She replied with a smile.
Huang Feifei nodded.
Inwardly she was very happy because for the first time, she put what Tang Yin had taught her before to the test, AND it worked out perfectly!
She was able to play with the opponent's mind and beat her in just 2 or 3 moves.
The training was a success!
What she did not know was that Tang Yin had already considered the training a success the moment he saw that she managed to understand the first level of such a cultivation technique for the scepter in just one month.
The rest didn't matter to him, the fact that she understood that in such a short time is something worthy of praise.
"Haha, senior..." Huang Feifei said, but before she could continue speaking, she felt someone walking towards where was, and it was very powerful, so she raised alarms quickly, but seeing that it was one of the elders, she relaxed.
"Tenth Elder." Greeted the lady student standing beside Huang Feifei as she bowed to the person who arrived.
He simply nodded.
"Huang Feifei is your name, right? Hahaha, I heard about you from Miss Jun a month ago, I didn't expect to see you in this city, let alone expect you to be so talented." Said the elder with a smile, and those who heard this were surprised.
'Does that girl know Miss Jun?' thought many, but after thinking about how strong and talented she is, they understood.
Huang Feifei, although she was surprised, still nodded.
''It's a pleasure to greet you, tenth elder. Yes, I'm Huang Feifei. I didn't expect elder sister Xilei to mention it to you about me... And I'm sorry for introducing myself this way." She replied a little nervously, not knowing how to introduce herself.
But the elder didn't mind.
"Hahaha, okay, the lady is talented enough to skip the next test, so could I ask her to come with me? I have some things to talk to you about, of course, you are already approved for the academy." Said the elder, surprising Huang Feifei, who was in a little dilemma.
She wanted to participate in the tryouts, but...
Rejecting the Tenth Elder was a bad thing.
If he was called that, it meant that he was a Head Elder, of which there are only 12 in the academy, and they have power on the level of headmasters.
In the end, Huang Feifei simply nodded and followed him.
She was satisfied with her presentation today and wanted to get out of here to see Tang Yin, so she thought that way she could make it sooner.
So, they both left for another side of the academy while the rest of the tests continued without any delay. Neither of them was like Huang Feifei to skip the tests.
