337: Scramble

“Fairy Lei, I can’t let you go first.” Zheng Yang stepped forward. He and Little Butcher had always been rivals, and now that Little Butcher had entered the academy, he was naturally unwilling to fall behind.

Jiang Xiyue also stepped forward immediately. She was determined to enter the same academy as her Big Brother. As the highly anticipated pearl of the Jiang Family, she couldn't afford to lose Face. If she couldn't even get into the academy, it would be a great humiliation for her.

Xiao Yan also stepped forward, determined to enter the same academy as his Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Brother, and Junior Sister.

Besides them, Little Phoenix, Lina, Little Fox, and others also refused to be outdone, expressing their intentions.

More than a dozen people with powerful Qi also stepped forward. Qin Tian learned from others' conversations that these individuals were also heirs of God Kings. It seemed that the true foundation of the Eastern Barrens was far more profound than it appeared on the surface.

Several Saints, Saintesses, Young Masters, and Young Misses also stepped forward. For a time, twenty to thirty Prodigies of the trial were eager to compete, unwilling to yield to each other.

“What are they doing? Why are they arguing over the order?” A Cultivator from Destiny Star asked in confusion.

“You don’t understand. These Prodigies from Zhongyuan Star are competing for spots in the academy. It seems whoever passes the Nine Towers trial first will get a spot in the academy,” someone next to them explained.

“Is this academy that powerful? It’s attracting so many people to compete for it.”

“That’s unclear.”

Xia Jiuyue’s eyebrows suddenly raised as she heard this conversation, as if remembering something. She thought that Qin Tian would definitely go to the academy, so she might as well join him. With her talent, entering the academy should be an easy matter.

The Emperor’s Son and Emperor’s Daughter also felt a stir in their hearts. They had heard their father mention that in a distant Star Domain, there were people who had walked the Emperor Road after coming from the academy. If so, they could also use the academy’s platform to realize their dream of ascending the Emperor Road.

However, the Disciples of the Saints and God Kings did not react much to this; they were not very interested in the academy. As Disciples of two powerful organizations, a mere academy was not enough to attract their attention.

The other Prodigies of Destiny Star, however, were happy to see the trial Prodigies competing so fiercely.

“What, you want to compete with me first?” Lei Tingting showed her dominance, fearless in the Face of many Prodigies.

“Let’s compete then. Does Fairy Lei really think she’s invincible?” A man less than 1.5 meters tall spoke. Although he was short, his Qi was profound, and he was not afraid of Lei Tingting at all.

“Tu Xingtian.” Lei Tingting seemed to recognize the person in front of her.

“Is he a Disciple of the Earth God among the Five Elements God Kings?” someone asked in confusion.

Behind Tu Xingtian, there were four more people standing, each with extraordinary Qi.

“All five Disciples of the Five Elements God King are here, how interesting,” someone said with a smile.

“If the five of you team up, you might be able to fight with Miss, but if it’s one-on-one, you don’t have the ability,” Lei Tingting said confidently, sweeping her gaze over everyone.

“Then I’ll compete with Young Miss Lei. Whoever wins goes first, how about it?” Zheng Yang suggested.

“Miss can also have a match with Miss Lei,” Jiang Xiyue also said.

“Oh, actually, I can also join in the fun,” Little Fox said charmingly, no longer hiding her strength.

Little Phoenix ignited with scorching flames, and Sun Goddess also refused to be outdone, showing a ready-to-fight posture.

“How about this, you all compete first, let me go first.” 蠻牛 strode out. He felt that these people arguing back and forth was too time-consuming.

When 蠻牛 stepped forward, the trial Prodigies had no objections, but the special recruits were unhappy.

“Big guy, don’t dream. You want to be the first to pass the trial.” Yao Mengmeng immediately spoke, “If anyone goes first, it’s Miss.”

“Fairy Yao, that’s not right. Why should you be the first?” Little Butcher retorted.

“Exactly. Although Fairy Yao is strong and beautiful, being the first to pass the trial doesn’t seem quite right,” Holy Son of Qiankun echoed.

Yao Mengmeng was about to get angry, but hearing these words, she restrained herself a little.

“If Miss doesn’t go first, do you still want to be the first? Miss doesn’t mind, but I’m afraid my Senior Sister and Junior Brothers will have opinions.” Yao Mengmeng said, gesturing for everyone to look at Phoenix Moon and others beside her.

“However, Miss doesn’t plan to go first. Xiao Yan, you go first.” Yao Mengmeng called him Junior Brother very smoothly, but for her Senior Brother, she directly called Xiao Yan by his name. After all, they were fellow Disciples, so she naturally had to help her own people.

Xiao Yan scratched his head: “Wouldn’t that be bad?” He felt as if he was relying on his Junior Sister’s authority.

“What’s bad about it? We’ll all be in the academy in the future. Qin Tian will most likely go to the academy too. If you’re the only one who doesn’t go, where will our Face be?”

“Go,” Phoenix Moon also nodded in agreement.

“Alright then.” Seeing his Senior Sister nod, Xiao Yan stepped forward. After all, a Junior Brother obeying his Senior Sister’s arrangements was as natural as him always obeying his Senior Brother’s words.

“This place is Destiny Star. It’s only reasonable for my Junior Brother to be the first to pass the trial. Junior Brother Xiao, your sister-in-law supports you going first.” Xia Jiuyue had a good impression of Xiao Yan, after all, he was the first person to call her sister-in-law.

Lei Tingting, Zheng Yang, and a group of God Sons all showed displeased expressions, but did not dare to say much. The people of Qin Tian’s lineage were all too powerful, and none of them could afford to offend them.

Now even the local princess was standing up for Xiao Yan. Anyway, Xiao Yan was only taking one spot, so let him go first. The local Prodigies didn’t care, as long as no one could take the Emperor Sutra. Moreover, they just wanted to see the strength of the Zhongyuan Star Prodigies.

Xiao Yan stepped into the Nine Towers, and a Life Beast instantly appeared.

“Senior, this time I can finally have a good fight.” Xiao Yan had always been eager for battle, but unfortunately, he had never been able to get his wish before.

“That’s right. You Cultivate diligently day and night. Although your cultivation has improved, your combat experience is still lacking. These Nine Towers are a rare opportunity for you to temper yourself.”

Xiao Yan had actively sought out Yao Beasts to fight along the way, accumulating more experience than many others. But to reach a higher Realm, he had to constantly temper himself.

“Qin Tian’s Third Junior Brother, I’ve never seen him go all out. Today is a rare opportunity.”

“Indeed, Qin Tian’s other Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are all extraordinarily strong. In comparison, Xiao Yan seems a bit ordinary.”

Xiao Yan’s actions attracted a lot of attention. Although Qin Tian knew Xiao Yan’s potential was astonishing, he had never seen him go all out. This was a good opportunity to see his Junior Brother’s true strength.

Xiao Yan stared at the Life Beast and did not rush to attack.

“This Life Beast should possess the power of a mirror image, capable of reflecting the techniques used by the challenger,” Senior Yao analyzed.

Being able to detect the challenger’s strength and condense an opponent of corresponding strength, this kind of setup is not too difficult.

Not to mention a Great Emperor, he himself could achieve a similar setup, though the upper limit of his setup was limited. But the opponent’s mirror image ability, he had never achieved, only heard of it, and never expected to see it in this outer Star Domain.

“Xiao Yan, mirror image ability is essentially a kind of reflection. Although I don’t know the specific effect of the Great Emperor’s setup, I presume it can be countered by using illusions. However, in the first few levels, you can simply suppress the opponent with your strength. This is a good opportunity to show your true strength.”

After Senior Yao finished his analysis, he formulated a battle plan for Xiao Yan.
