If they didn’t come, Luo Tian would have eventually gone to find them.
He had to participate in the second round of the Misty Cloud Academy’s assessment.
However, he wasn’t even sure if his name was on the second round’s assessment list.
After escaping Towering Cloud City, the examiners sent by the Misty Cloud Academy would first attempt to find him in Towering Cloud City. Whether or not he passed the first round would depend on the review of the spatial scroll. If the reviewer was a member of the Hai family, then he would definitely determine that he had killed too many people and would not allow him to pass.
If that was the case…
This was what Luo Tian was most worried about.
As long as they deemed him to have failed the first round, then he would not be qualified to participate in the second round of assessments.
That meant he would have to wait until next year, and Luo Tian didn’t have time and couldn’t wait that long.
There actually was another way, and that was to obtain a high grade Blood Spirit to unlock the seal of the Four Divine Beasts bloodline in his body. In that way, his talent could be fully displayed, and he believed he definitely would show he had a super grade talent. He could then become a special admissions student of the Misty Cloud Academy and legitimately enter the academy in that way!
But a high grade Blood Spirit was very rare.
When Magic Charm was over, and the Giant Stone Demon betrayed him, it was killed by Luo Tian. What surprised him was that it didn’t explode with a Blood Spirit. Blood Spirit only had a chance of appearing in demonic beasts above rank six. Even then, rank six demonic beasts didn’t have Blood Spirits 100% of the time.
Seeing Chen Dongfeng and the elderly man, Luo Tian directly asked, “If you two have something to say, just say it. As long as I, Luo Tian can do it, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility.”
Hearing Luo Tian say this, Chen Dongfeng’s heart immediately relaxed. He then said to the elderly man beside him, “I told you City Lord Luo isn’t someone difficult to talk to.”
Chen Dongfeng looked at Luo Tian seriously and said, “City Lord Luo, we came to Boundless City to take the disciples who had passed the first round of assessments to Misty Cloud City. They can then participate in the second round of assessments there. Because of this political change, all the disciples who had passed the assessment in Boundless City died. We have been put into a very difficult circumstance after so many people dying at once. Therefore…”
Yin Wuliang had monopolized the slots for the Misty Cloud Academy.
Only his most trusted disciples were qualified to participate, and once they participated, it was a guaranteed pass.
This was what the martial artists in Boundless City hated the most.
It was equivalent to cutting off their only chance to reach the heavens in one step.
Coincidentally, this siege just happened to kill all the disciples who had passed the first round of assessments.
Luo Tian then asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Old Chen, if you have something to say, just say it directly. City Lord Luo isn’t such a petty person. Moreover, this matter is also beneficial to City Lord Luo.”
Luo Tian added, “Yeah, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Chen Dongfeng smiled and said, “During the siege today, I noticed that many of the disciples in your Bai family seem to have very good talents. I’d like to take them to the Misty Cloud Academy for a test. If they reach the super grade talent level, they can join by special admissions. That would be very good for them, for you, and for your Boundless City. Your position would also be further consolidated.” ɽ𝐚Νö𝔟Εs̩
Of course, Chen Dongfeng didn’t mention the benefits they would get for finding talents.
If they could recruit a student with super grade talent, then they would receive 500 contribution points, which was quite generous!
Moreover, their status in the academy would also increase.
Luo Tian was briefly stunned. He had already been prepared for this matter, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly, and it was also somewhat sudden. He put on a shocked expression before saying, “You said that among my Bai family disciples, you think there are talents that have reached the super grade?”
Luo Tian’s expression looked very surprised.
It would definitely arouse their suspicions if he didn’t fake it.
Moreover, the matter of the Bai family members’ talent transfer must not be spread.
It had to be kept in absolute secrecy.
Otherwise, it would disrupt all his arrangements.
Chen Dongfeng couldn’t confirm their talents; he only suspected it. After all, no one knew what a person’s talent was without testing. He then said, “That big guy, the little brother who led us in just now, his talent seems to be quite good. If he could be tested, I believe that even if he can’t become a special admissions student, I guarantee that he can enter a good academy and become a peripheral student of the Misty Cloud Academy.”
“There’s also that little brother named Lin Dong. That little girl named Bai Lingling also doesn’t look too bad.”
He mentioned three people in one breath.
He had paid close attention to these three people. He had seen their movements, strength, and the power of the techniques they used. He felt that the talents of these three people were definitely not low. Even if they didn’t reach the super grade and were allowed direct, special admissions, their talent should have reached the top grade. So, they could also become peripheral students of the Misty Cloud Academy. Even though the contribution points they get from recruiting a top grade talent student wouldn’t be high, they would still get 50 points per person!
Luo Tian still pretended to be surprised and asked, “You think their talent might have reached the super grade?”
Chen Dongfeng immediately corrected Luo Tian and replied, “I said it’s possible. A possibility. That’s why I hope City Lord Luo agrees to let us take them back to the Misty Cloud Academy to be tested.”
“Oh…”
Luo Tian pretended to be in thought.
Chen Dongfeng started to feel anxious as he watched Luo Tian contemplate.
After all, if Luo Tian didn’t let them go, they couldn’t just snatch them. However, if that were the case, not only would they have their contribution points deducted when they returned this time, but they would also be punished. Seeing Luo Tian’s tightly furrowed brows, Chen Dongfeng added, “City Lord Luo, even if they don’t pass, I will give each of them two origin spirit stones. Two origin spirit stones will definitely allow them to make some breakthroughs.”
Luo Tian waved his hand and said, “That’s not what I meant. I’m worried that they’ll embarrass you if they go. As for the origin spirit stones or whatnot, just do what you think is best. However, I still have to ask for their opinions first. If they have no objections, then I have no objections.”
Of course, he was going to take the benefits!
This was all to secure resources for his brothers!
If it was just himself, it would be different.
The value of origin spirit stones was not insignificant, especially for Bai Xiong and the others who had just received their new talents. They needed this powerful cultivation resource pretty badly.
Chen Dongfeng immediately smiled and said, “Then it’s settled.”
The elderly man next to him also smiled and said, “I believe they won’t refuse. In the Central Continent, our Misty Cloud Academy is the best academy. No martial artist pursuing the peak would refuse.”
Indeed, many martial artists dreamed of entering the Misty Cloud Academy.
It was the greatest dream in their hearts!
The Misty Cloud Academy was the dream destination of all martial artists.
A place to ascend to heaven in one step!
As long as they received the guidance of a mentor, coupled with various powerful cultivation resources, they would still greatly improve even if their aptitude was mediocre. Moreover, Bai Lingling and the others’ talents had already changed. Once they entered the Misty Cloud Academy, they could soar into the sky!
Luo Tian looked at their happy expressions and started thinking of himself. He couldn’t help but point to himself, hinting at Chen Dongfeng and the elderly man.
Chen Dongfeng didn’t quite understand the gesture. He looked at his old friend beside him.
The other elderly man also had a bewildered look on his face, not knowing what Luo Tian’s gesture meant.
Luo Tian seemed a little embarrassed and asked, “What about me? Haven’t you thought about letting me get in too?”
Chen Dongfeng and the elderly man were instantly stunned!
