Chapter 45 The Participants of the Assessment

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 The Participants of the Assessment Chapter 45: Chapter 45 The Participants of the Assessment “Ha!”

Just when Su Yuan was about to give up, a scolding sound suddenly echoed in his ears.

In an instant, the oppressive force from the Dragon Bone suddenly dissipated.

Su Yuan only felt his Sea of Consciousness relax, and he regained his clarity.

But immediately after, Su Yuan’s mind went into a daze, and he almost stumbled and fell.

This was the side effect of excessive spiritual power consumption.

Su Yuan opened his eyes.

Standing in front of him, though he didn’t know when he arrived, was a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a handsome face, with blue hair.

At this moment, the blue-haired young man frowned and looked at Su Yuan with a serious expression.

“Only at Star Apprentice Level, you actually dared to directly gaze at the Head of Demon Dragon!” the blue-haired young man scolded.

Su Yuan didn’t mind the other party’s harsh tone.

Instead, he said, “Thank you, Senior, for your help.”

Su Yuan knew very well that without the other’s help, in just a few more seconds, he would have been in big trouble today.

Seeing Su Yuan’s attitude, the blue-haired young man’s expression softened a bit.

After a slight pause, the blue-haired young man said to Su Yuan, “Direct gazing at the Head of Demon Dragon requires at least Bronze Level spiritual power and someone to assist by the side.

Otherwise, once you get trapped and can’t pull out, at best, you might faint on the spot due to excessive spiritual power consumption; at worst, you’d be overdrawn and would need to lie down for ten days or half a month!

Seeing you’re only at Star Apprentice Ninth Rank but still daring to do such a dangerously mysterious thing, it’s really…

I don’t know how to describe you!

Luckily, your spiritual talent seems decent, being able to withstand it for so long.

A regular Star Apprentice would have collapsed already!”

“Senior is right.

It was my carelessness.”

After apologizing again, Su Yuan glanced sideways.

Seeing Xiang Dingqian standing with his arms crossed and a mocking smile, Su Yuan’s eyes turned colder.

The blue-haired young man also noticed Xiang Dingqian and asked, “Are you Xiang Dingqian?”

Xiang Dingqian responded casually, “I am.”

The blue-haired young man glanced at Xiang Dingqian, then at Su Yuan, and seemed to guess something.

He frowned slightly.

However, he said nothing and spoke up, “My name is Qi Tian.

Director Tan instructed me to pick you up.”

Qi Tian?

Suz Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Indeed, quite a bold name!

Xiang Dingqian stepped forward, “Then I trouble you, Senior Qi.”

Qi Tian didn’t say more and turned to Su Yuan, “Are you also here for the special recruitment?”

“I am.” Su Yuan thought of Teacher Wang Haiping and added, “My name is Su Yuan, recommended by Teacher Yang Yifeng.”

“Teacher Yang?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes.

He then nodded and said, “Then come with me.

We’re going to the assessment site now.”

“Thank you, Senior Qi.”

Qi Tian nodded and then led Su Yuan and Xiang Dingqian beyond the Dragon Bone Gate, heading inside.

Demon Capital Academy was vast.

The entire academy was designed in a “forest series” style, with ancient trees and rugged rocks everywhere.

The three walked for a long time and finally arrived at a secluded dark green forest within the academy.

At this time, there stood a teacher from Demon Capital Academy, with a thin face, dressed in brown brocade, looking about forty years old.

There were also a few young students around Su Yuan’s age, seemingly also here for the special recruitment.

But the most eye-catching was the two-meter-high black Mysterious Stele standing beside the Demon Capital Academy teacher!

Accompanied by waves of mysterious fluctuations, lines of different Golden Seal Secret Symbols intermittently appeared and disappeared on the Mysterious Stele, making it extraordinarily mysterious.

“Director Tan, I’ve brought them.” Qi Tian, with Su Yuan and Xiang Dingqian, stood at a clearing in front of the black Mysterious Stele.

“Thank you, Qi Tian.” Tan Songlin, dressed in black brocade, smiled.

“No trouble at all.”

Tan Songlin nodded, looked at Xiang Dingqian, and said, “Xiang Dingqian, how is your father?

Haven’t seen him for four or five years?”

Xiang Dingqian, upon hearing this, knew this might be his father’s friend in Demon Capital Academy.

Now, he seemed to be the person in charge of this assessment.

Xiang Dingqian hurriedly made a bow, “He’s good.

He asked me to send his regards.”

“Good, that’s good.” Tan Songlin nodded with a smile, then focused on Su Yuan, “Qi Tian, who is this student?”

Su Yuan replied, “Hello, Teacher Tan, I am Su Yuan.”

“Su Yuan?” Tan Songlin looked puzzled as if Su Yuan’s name wasn’t on the special recruitment list.

Qi Tian added, “Director Tan, he was recommended by Teacher Yang Yifeng.”

“Oh?” Tan Songlin’s eyes showed surprise as he carefully observed Su Yuan, “So you are the student Teacher Yang mentioned?”

“That’s me,” Su Yuan replied.

Su Yuan muttered inwardly.

Director Wang’s teacher seemed to hold a rather extraordinary position in Demon Capital Academy.

But as Wang Haiping didn’t mention it, Su Yuan didn’t ask further.

Qi Tian said, “Director Tan, since I’ve brought them, I’ll take my leave.”

“Alright, you may go.”

After Qi Tian left, Tan Songlin spoke to the others, “Wait a little longer.

There’s one more hour before we begin.”

Saying this, he closed his eyes to rest.

Su Yuan observed the other students in the clearing.

Three men and two women, all extraordinary.

From their realms, they were at least at Ninth Stage Limit.

Among them, a young man with a cold face and yellow hair drew the most attention, even though he tried to suppress it.

The strong Star Power fluctuation around him couldn’t be entirely concealed, clearly at the Bronze Level!

Although Zhuang Xun also broke through to Bronze Level, it didn’t mean Bronze Level wasn’t significant.

Those who reached the Bronze Level at this time had immense talent and significant opportunity.

As time passed, another hour quickly went by.

Since Su Yuan and Xiang Dingqian entered the forest, other recommended teachers had brought in three more people, including twin siblings and a somewhat thin boy.

Now it was already 2 PM, and the assessment should have started, but Tan Songlin stood quietly without initiating anything.

Seeing Tan Songlin occasionally glance outside, Su Yuan had a vague guess.

Tan Songlin seemed to be waiting for someone, and Director Wang previously mentioned, this special recruitment seemed mainly for one person…

As Su Yuan was pondering, two people suddenly walked in from a distance.

Leading was a strikingly handsome young man with long hair, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, his demeanor refined, gentle as jade.

Behind him was a petite girl.

Silver short hair, ice-blue eyes, walking behind the long-haired man, emitting a chilly aura.

As soon as the two appeared, they captivated everyone’s attention, their stunning looks and aura making them seem like they walked out of a painting, pleasing to the eyes.

Su Yuan also looked at the silver-haired girl, but what attracted him was a faint, familiar yet strange aura from her.

“She seems, different from us…”

Staring at the silver-haired girl, Su Yuan frowned, pondering deeply.

At this moment, sensing Su Yuan’s gaze, the silver-haired girl slightly raised her head towards him.

Her ice-blue crystalline eyes were devoid of any emotion, resembling non-human entities.

“She’s not human!” Su Yuan’s pupils contracted.

Recalling the rumors about Demon Capital Academy, Su Yuan immediately realized this cold-looking girl was likely a Star Beast!

The familiarity of her aura possibly came from his vast experience of hunting Star Beasts after his Awakening, making him more attuned to their presence.

So, there are Star Beasts in this recruitment!

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Yuan was deeply astonished.
