40: Chapter 40 Keep your distance from Ye Tian and Yang Hao

At this moment, among the 100 people on the stage, there was one at the Late Stage of the Acquired Realm, 37 at the Middle Stage of the Acquired Realm, and the rest were all at the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm.

"Alright, all of you come down and rest! We will begin the third round shortly. Those who fell off the arena will challenge those of you still standing on the arena, and everyone will have one chance."

"As long as you can hold your ground for ten rounds, you can officially become students of the Zhenwu Academy."

After resting for about half an hour, the third round of the selection officially began.

One hundred people were divided into ten groups, with ten people standing under each arena. Those who had fallen off the arena could choose an opponent they believed they could defeat to challenge.

"I'll go first, I challenge him." A youth at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm walked onto the arena and pointed at a youth in white robes at the second level of the Acquired Realm.

He had been quite unlucky just now; he was surrounded by several people at the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm on the arena and was knocked off.

Among those who had surrounded him was this youth, so naturally, he wanted to settle the score.

The youth who was named looked pale. He had managed to survive the arena match with great difficulty, and he never expected to be targeted by a Martial Artist at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm.

Moreover, this Martial Artist had been knocked off by him in collaboration with others.

The other party was here for revenge. If he went up, he would definitely get beaten up. Thus, he was quite straightforward and let out a soft snort: "Hmph! You win. I can't beat you, I concede!"

"Hmph! You're sensible."

The youth snorted coldly and said, and after speaking, he took the place of the white-robed youth.

With a start, soon others began to issue challenges. However, most were challenging those at the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm. Very few people challenged those at the Middle Stage of the Acquired Realm, not to mention Yang Hao, who had reached the Late Stage of the Acquired Realm.

The challenge match rested for three hours before it came to an end. About thirty-something people were defeated in the challenges, losing their spots to enter the Zhenwu Academy.

Among the 100 spots in the field, those with backgrounds in the Innate Realm accounted for almost half, and the rest were divided among other forces.

The few people brought by Qin Xiao also passed the selection without any surprise, obtaining the qualifications to enter the Zhenwu Academy and becoming students of the Zhenwu Academy.

Of course, the Zhenwu Academy's recruitment selection had not ended yet. Tomorrow, there would still be the Body Refining Realm selection match and the sparring match for those under fifteen who had reached the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm.

However, most people didn't pay much attention to these, because they were just minor affairs, and the main event had already ended.

Those who passed the assessment all received an identity credential for the Zhenwu Academy; this was the student token of the Zhenwu Academy.

...

As night fell, those who had shone brilliantly in the assessment all became the subjects of discussion!

Especially Yang Hao, who, with his cultivation at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, dominated the entire field. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, his reputation soared, making him the object of admiration for thousands of young girls in Xuanfeng City.

"Not bad, not bad. You have all passed the assessment of the Zhenwu Academy and brought glory to our Spiritwind City. I am very gratified."

Qin Xiao looked at the four people below, stroked his beard, and said with a satisfied look. Then he took out four silver notes, each worth ten thousand taels, and handed them to the four people below.

"This is a reward for you. Once you arrive at the Zhenwu Academy, you must Cultivate diligently."

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

"Thank you, Foster Father!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The four people took the silver notes and thanked him one after another.

"Mm! You all go down and rest. You are tired today, and in two days, you will have to set off for this Ji Province City!"

Qin Xiao waved his hand, signaling for the few to go down and rest.

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, two days quickly passed.

The assessment for the Zhenwu Academy also ended, and in the end, 124 students were admitted.

Today, they would all follow their team leader instructor to the Zhenwu Academy's Ji Province Higher Institute to study.

Unless they achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, or for special reasons, they would not return to Xuanfeng City within three years; they would conduct three years of training at the Ji Province Higher Institute.

Of course, this was not the academy forcing students to stay on campus, but rather that Ji Province City was too far from their Xuanfeng City. Just the journey alone would take one or two months, and relying solely on the Acquired Realm to return was very difficult.

They might even die miserably on the road. Only by reaching the Innate Realm would there be a glimmer of security.

"Xiao Tian, after you arrive in Ji Province, you must take good care of yourself, don't cause trouble easily, and be careful in everything."

Ye Suxin said to Ye Tian, her eyes brimming with a hint of moisture. She was very reluctant; her son had grown up and was going to a very distant place to Cultivate. She might not be able to see him for several years.

"Mother, please rest assured. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry, you must also take good care of yourself."

Ye Tian said to Ye Suxin. Actually, he was not worried about Ye Suxin. Although he hated Qin Xiao, he had to admit that Qin Xiao was truly good to his mother. Not to say that he granted every request, but he had never mistreated his mother in the slightest.

He was more worried about Yang Qingwu. With that lecherous nature of the old thief Qin Xiao, once Yang Qingwu grew a bit older, he definitely wouldn't let her go.

Therefore, he had to achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm as soon as possible, and then come back to take Yang Qingwu away, so as to avoid her being ruined by that old thief Qin Xiao.

In two years, he was very confident that he could achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm. Even if he couldn't break through, Yang Hao should be able to. As long as either one of them broke through, they could spare Yang Qingwu from the clutches of the old thief Qin Xiao.

On the other side, Yang Qingwu was also saying goodbye to Yang Hao.

"Brother, when you arrive at the Zhenwu Academy, be careful in everything and take good care of yourself!"

Yang Qingwu was on the side, softly urging him, her eyes filled with concern.

"Mm, Brother knows. You must also take good care of yourself!"

Yang Hao stroked Yang Qingwu's head and said lovingly.

"Qingwu, don't worry. I will soon achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm. At that time, I will take you away from the Qin Family openly and honorably!"

Yang Hao looked at his sensible younger sister and secretly swore in his heart. The huge thorn in his heart was that his sister had originally lowered herself to enter the Qin Family for the sake of their Yang Family.

"After you two enter the Zhenwu Academy, do not cause trouble, and you must Cultivate diligently, do you understand?"

Qin Xiao was also on the side, urging them. After all, that grandson and granddaughter were his Bloodline, so some concern was still necessary.

"Understood."

Qin Tianmei and Qin Zhenyuan nodded at the same time and replied.

"Also, you must remember, when you get there, keep your distance from Ye Tian and Yang Hao. Stay far away from them, and do not get involved in anything related to them, especially do not let others know what kind of relationship you have with them."

This sentence was secretly transmitted by Qin Xiao to them. Both of these two were Children of Luck, and wherever they went, they might be targeted. If they were accidentally implicated, it would be over.

"Yes!"

The two heard the last sentence and were a bit confused.

However, they still obediently agreed. Anyway, whatever their grandfather said, that was what they would do.

The children taught using the old Qin Family's educational methods were all very obedient; those who were disobedient would be beaten until they were obedient.
