Chapter 1127: Chapter 1129: Barbaric Ancient Beast
Holy Book Academy, within the Inner Court.
“Sun Wukong, Shen Lang, Nangong Po… they’re all from the Heavenly Bird Star Domain! It seems like the Heavenly Bird Star Domain is very strong this ti, with three geniuses appearing at once!”
Zhao Ritian, responsible for the final assessnt within the Inner Court, looked at the second and third stage assessnt reports sent by the Outer Court teacher Gongsun Yu, stroked his chin, and finally raised his lips in a playful smile.
“Junior Brother Gongsun, from the records of these two stages, it seems the strength of these three doesn’t differ much! Who do you think is most likely to enter the Inner Court?”
Zhao Ritian glanced at Gongsun Yu and asked.
“Sun Wukong! I can’t quite see through this kid!”
Gongsun Yu replied without hesitation,
“If only one of the three can enter the Inner Court, it’s definitely Sun Wukong! But I believe all three of them have the strength to enter the Inner Court, it’s just that…”
“Just what?”
Zhao Ritian raised his eyebrows and asked.
“It’s just that I noticed so friction between Sun Wukong and Nangong Po; they don’t get along!”
“Oh?”
A playful glint flashed in Zhao Ritian’s eyes, “They don’t get along? Do they have a grudge?”
“I’m not too clear on that, but I heard that Sun Wukong explicitly stated he doesn’t want to live under the sa roof as Nangong Po!”
Gongsun Yu pondered, he had only overheard the conversation of Sun Wukong and the others, so he wasn’t fully aware of the situation.
“Interesting! These candidates are interesting this ti!”
Zhao Ritian laughed, “Let them fight, we won’t interfere! Our Holy Book Academy only accepts monsters, not geniuses! To enter the Inner Court, they must be monsters among monsters; we’ll see which of them fits this criterion!”
“Understood, Brother Nine!”
Gongsun Yu nodded, stood up, bowed, and then turned to walk out. After a couple of steps, he stopped, turned back to Zhao Ritian, and asked,
“Brother Nine, will the difficulty of the next two stages remain the sa?”
“Of course, it’ll remain the sa; this was personally set by Brother Zhong, are you saying you dare to alter Brother Zhong’s standards?”
Zhao Ritian’s words made Gongsun Yu shudder all over; change Brother Zhong’s standards?
What a joke!
He wasn’t tired of living yet!
He gave a dry laugh and quickly stepped out.
“Sun Wukong, Nangong Po… heh, interesting! The Holy Book Academy has been dormant for too long, it’s ti to inject a little fresh energy…”
…
The fourth assessnt is the Combat Power Test.
Also conducted within the Divine Refining Tower, but in the space above the third floor of the tower.
“Holy Book Academy only accepts monsters, not geniuses! To beco a disciple of the Holy Book Academy, one must be stronger than a genius! This fourth assessnt is to test the level your strength has reached!”
Gongsun Yu held the Divine Refining Tower in his palm and lectured Sun Wukong and the others,
“In a mont, you’ll be transported to the space on the fourth floor of the Divine Refining Tower. In front of each of you will appear a Barbaric Ancient Beast lower by one minor realm than your current cultivation.”
“As long as you can defeat that Barbaric Ancient Beast, this fourth assessnt will be considered barely passed.”
Gongsun Yu’s words sparked a buzz of discussion among the crowd.
“Barbaric Ancient Beast? Those are fierce beasts with extrely strong combat capabilities! Not to ntion one minor realm lower, even two minor realms lower, their combat power is still formidable!”
“Yeah! Making us fight Barbaric Ancient Beasts, this must be a joke?”
“Defeating a Barbaric Ancient Beast one minor realm lower is barely passing, so what constitutes fully passing?”
…
Gongsun Yu glanced at the murmuring crowd, lightly cleared his throat, and everyone quickly hushed, becoming silent.
“Soone just asked what constitutes fully passing, that’s a good question! I can answer that for you now!”
“There are no specific standards!”
“Not clear what that ans, right? It’s actually very simple: after defeating a Barbaric Ancient Beast one minor realm lower, you can continue to challenge the next level up. Each level up, the Barbaric Ancient Beast’s cultivation will rise by one minor realm!”
“Of course, if you manage to defeat stronger Barbaric Ancient Beasts, the final score will be higher! The greater the cultivation difference between you and the defeated Barbaric Ancient Beast, the higher the score, with the highest cultivation difference being one Great Realm.”
“However, I don’t believe any of you can defeat a Barbaric Ancient Beast with a cultivation difference of over one Great Realm! I hope soone can prove wrong, that I’ve underestimated you!”
“Alright then, is there anything unclear now? If not, get ready for the assessnt!”
Gongsun Yu’s words sparked a new round of discussion among the crowd.
“A Barbaric Ancient Beast exceeding one Great Realm in cultivation? What kind of joke is that? It’s basically impossible to defeat!”
“Not to ntion a Barbaric Ancient Beast exceeding one Great Realm, even defeating one of the sa realm isn’t easy!”
“Being able to defeat a Barbaric Ancient Beast of the sa realm is already the mark of a genius with astonishing combat power; anyone who can defeat one from a minor realm higher is absolutely a genius among geniuses!”
“If soone really manages that, they’re a monster!”
…
“Alright, discussion over, let’s begin!”
With a shout from Gongsun Yu, beams of light shot out from the Divine Refining Tower and struck Sun Wukong and the others. In a flash of brilliance, everyone was transported into the Divine Refining Tower.
“So this is the fourth floor of the Divine Refining Tower? Where is that Barbaric Ancient Beast?”
Sun Wukong looked around; the space on the fourth floor was vast and boundless, with no visible edges, and the sa boundlessness above.
No exit, absolutely no exit!
Can’t even see the passage to the next level!
It seems that the passage to the next level will only appear once the Barbaric Ancient Beast in this space is defeated, right?
“Huh?”
Just as Sun Wukong was contemplating this, a gust of wind suddenly ca from right behind him.
Soone was launching a surprise attack!
Sun Wukong flickered and dodged the attack, drew the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from his ear, shook it in the wind until it beca the size of a bowl and a fathom in length, and swung it hard in the direction of the sensed movent.
Bam!
A muffled sound, like striking tough leather!
A dark shadow rolled away, revealing itself ten ters away.
This was a beast that looked like a giant worm, but its fat body had four claws like those of an eagle.
Its face bore only a massive mouth filled with sharp teeth, with no sign of eyes or nose.
This bizarre big worm, is this the so-called Barbaric Ancient Beast?
