The jade token slowly fell into Shen Ye's hands.
"Hey, thanks!" Shen Ye waved to the flying dragon in midair.
The flying dragon nodded slightly at him then dived into the void, disappearing to parts unknown.
Dead silence.
Complete and utter silence.
Waving the jade token in his hand, Shen Ye scratched his head and chuckled, "I guess I'm going to study at this Chaotic Heaven Gate."
"Right, where is Chaotic Heaven Gate anyway?"
No one answered him.
People just stared at him as if he were an alien creature.
Several breaths later.
A grand electronic voice sounded:
"Citizen Shen Ye, confird to join the Ancient Sect Chaotic Heaven Gate, current personal authority upgraded, level classified."
It was Kunlun!
Its reaction was more direct, having already elevated Shen Ye's personal authority.
This seed like a signal—
The Xirang High School Proctor's figure vibrated with energy as he landed in front of Shen Ye, smiling and saying:
"Xirang High School welcos you, Student Shen Ye."
"Huh?" Shen Ye was bewildered.
The Xirang High School Proctor explained:
"Chaotic Heaven Gate was once one of the four great sects of the Ancient Era, but it has gradually faded into history."
"Therefore, if you are accepted by Chaotic Heaven Gate, you can only enroll in other schools as a guest student."
"Our Breath Soil High School welcos you; we hope you can enroll as a guest student with us, and we will cover all the costs—this offer is within my authority and there will be absolutely no problem," he promised.
"There's no more Chaotic Heaven Gate?" Shen Ye felt sowhat disappointed.
The Xirang High School Proctor's eyes blazed with intensity:
"It has indeed disappeared—however, should one day the remnant of Chaotic Heaven Gate be discovered, then with the jade token bestowed upon you by the Dharma Realm, you may enter without fearing for your safety."
Qian Rushan took over, "Moreover, in various relics around the world, so areas require the identity of an official disciple of an Ancient Sect to be granted entry."
"—Such identities are scarce, and each one is exceedingly precious."
Shen Ye finally caught on.
What was this, he'd gone from being despised to suddenly becoming a hot commodity?
Xiao ngyu could no longer contain herself, rushing forward to tug at his sleeve while speaking hurriedly and anxiously:
"Each of the Three Great High Schools has its own legacy professions, but you can obtain a fourth type of legacy profession—"
"The profession of Chaotic Heaven Gate!"
"Hold on—" Before Shen Ye could speak, the Guixu High School Proctor bellowed, "Whatever treatnt Xirang offers you, Guixu will double it!"
The Azure High School Proctor, putting down his phone, chid in, "Indeed, Azure High School can offer you better conditions. Please give serious consideration to which high school is truly the strongest among the Three Great High Schools."
"Weren't you accusing of cheating just a mont ago?" Shen Ye was astonished.
"That was a misunderstanding, Student Shen Ye," the Azure Proctor said, a hint of embarrassnt crossing his face.
"No, I have already understood the style of Azure High School through you. To tell the truth, I quite dislike Azure High School—"
Shen Ye glanced back at Qian Rushan.
Qian Rushan, however, looked towards Cang Nanyan.
Cang Nanyan burst into laughter, his face aglow with a reddish light, "Choose whichever school you wish to attend, our Human Martial Arts Group is your staunch support!"
That settles it.
With this bigwig's support, Shen Ye had nothing to hesitate about.
The Xirang High School Proctor suddenly shouted:
"Our Xirang had friendly exchanges with Chaotic Heaven Gate during the Ancient Tis, with people travelling between the two!"
"If you join us, perhaps you might trigger so special events in the school—and there is sothing left in our Dharma Realm by the Ancient Disciples of Chaotic Heaven Gate, which we can hand over to you!"
"Are you sure?" Shen Ye asked.
"I swear on our principal's integrity and my own!" assured the Xirang Proctor.
This was a public occasion.
And the speaker was a proctor.
He could be trusted!
"Alright, then I'll go to Xirang," Shen Ye made his decision.
Xiao ngyu also approached, looking at the Xirang High School Proctor, "I was just accepted by Azure High School, but now I want to go to Xirang—may I?"
Shen Ye cut in, "Can you resolve this? I also hope she can join Xirang High School."
"No problem!"
The Xirang High School Proctor imdiately confird, "Xirang can accept you, too!"
A voice rose from the crowd: "Shen Ye, we want to go to Xirang as well!"
It was Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye!
Shen Ye said, "See, I also have two classmates who passed the exam—"
"All accepted!"
The Xirang High School Proctor again gave his assurance.
What a joke!
Everyone able to stand here had passed the exam and were elites!
Even without the matter of Shen Ye, the proctor would welco them with open arms if they were willing!
Suddenly.
A male voice rang out:
"In which case, I too will forsake Azure and join Xirang."
Everyone turned to look and saw it was Nangong Sirui!
He locked eyes with Shen Ye, "I hadn't expected you to acquire the qualification of an Ancient Sect. I actually hope to be your classmate and see just how strong you really are."
Shen Ye was about to modestly remonstrate, but noticed the Azure Proctor's face turning green.
"Nangong Sirui, we at Azure are the strongest! Don't let them lead you astray!" urged the Azure Proctor.
Shen Ye imdiately dropped any pretense of modesty, stepped forward, grasped Nangong Sirui's hand, and shook it vigorously:
"Co on, we're all classmates now. We can spar anyti, learn from each other, and make collective progress."
"Agreed!" Nangong Sirui subtly pulled his hand back and nodded.
He took back his card, handing it over to the Xirang High School Proctor.
The proctor, with lightning-fast action, tapped lightly on the card.
A pale yellow outline imdiately erged along the edges of the card.
It was done!
—This signified that the newcor was now a mber of Xirang High School!
Nangong Sirui's on-the-spot change of intention imdiately influenced a group of students to alter their choices.
Not just the Clan Young Masters—
Those normal students had long noticed Shen Ye's actions, and now they saw him taking the lead, they couldn't help but admire him and began to join Xi Rang High School.
In the end, a total of 136 examinees joined Xi Rang High School.
Guixu High School had 83 people.
Azure High School only had 41 people.
The proctor of Azure High School panicked.
In the past exams, Azure always managed to recruit the most excellent batch of talents.
—Now, these people had all switched allegiances!
How was he going to explain this upon returning?
Suddenly.
The entire hall began to shake slightly.
The voice of Kunlun abruptly resounded:
"Level one alert."
"An explosion occurred at Yunshan Port."
"An unknown level of catastrophe has arrived."
"All examinees, please evacuate imdiately."
"Repeat, all examinees evacuate imdiately!"
"This is the current top-priority matter, please do not spare any resources, academies, organize the student's transport out with the utmost speed!"
"Execute imdiately!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly beca tense.
But apart from the confused students, everyone else remained composed, as if they had faced this situation thousands of tis before.
A group of experts led by Cang Nanyan stepped forward, forming a circle to protect all the students inside.
"Once you are ready, leave imdiately, leave this to us!"
Cang Nanyan's resonant voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Alright!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"We'll take the students and go first!
The three proctors responded solemnly.
An unexpected change occurred—
Everyone suddenly felt their bodies beco heavy.
A series of fine whispers seed to sound by their ears, mixed with infinite malice, bringing a sensation that was cold and damp.
"It's a curse!"
Exclaid the proctor of Azure Academy.
"A group curse—quick, let's go, hurry!" Cang Nanyan roared.
The ordinary candidates were bewildered.
However, the clan young masters all turned pale, apparently caught in fear.
Shen Ye looked towards the void.
His gate power had indeed provided an explanation:
"You are currently hit by a large-scale group curse."
"This curse covers the entire Yunshan Port, affecting a total of 328,761 people."
"It is nad:"
"Soul Weeping Phantom Shadows."
"Effect: You will be attacked by your own illusory phantoms, lasting for one day."
"These phantoms possess all your strength, and if you are killed by them, your soul will beco food for the Master of Weeping Demon Prison."
Just as Shen Ye finished reading, he suddenly felt lighter.
The illusory heaviness disappeared.
Two more lines of luminescent text erged:
"You have won the wager with the Master of Weeping Demon Prison. According to the rules of the bet, the master's curse cannot affect you."
"Current curse immunity granted."
—There's such good fortune too!
Well then, this ans he needn't worry anymore.
A ssage suddenly sounded in his ear:
"Shen Ye, you are the true first place, and the only one who qualified as a True Disciple of an Ancient Sect, the group must reward you heavily."
—Cang Nanyan's voice!
Shen Ye looked across the crowd towards Cang Nanyan, only to see him subtly nodding without leaving a trace.
The voice of Qian Rushan also followed:
"Listen, it's not convenient to talk here, but once you get to the school, the group's rewards will be issued."
"This is recognition and encouragent for you!"
"Work hard, the group is your strong support!"
Shen Ye locked eyes with Qian Rushan.
Both felt a bit emotional.
"Don't worry, Old Qian, I hope one day we can fight side by side."
Shen Ye said silently in his heart.
At this mont, there was another change in the hall.
The proctor of Azure Academy ford a spell seal with both hands and shouted:
"Reverse the Hall!"
The ceiling above the hall instantly flipped over, revealing a spiraling stone staircase ascending into the dark blue night sky, its destination unknown.
"All candidates who passed the Azure tests, follow !"
"—Speed up!"
He called out loudly.
Many candidates suddenly realized.
Indeed, this was Sky Relic; the Azure Academy was located within so relic deep in the sky.
There were secret passageways connecting them!
The candidates hurriedly jumped onto the staircase, rushing upwards one after another.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Urged the Azure Proctor.
Once the last candidate had left the hall, he too jumped onto the staircase, shouting:
"Take care, until we et again!"
With a motion of the hand seal, the entire ceiling flipped back into place.
—They had all left.
The proctors of Guixu and Xirang also sprang into action.
