“Not bad, not bad.” Zhang Zhihe modestly said, and after the new disciples from Jade Light County boarded the Black Boat, he called out five young boys and girls and instructed them:
“These two are your Senior Brothers Lu Yun and Xiao Chen. They entered the Martial Academy just one year earlier than you, but they have already reached the True Qi Realm and are considered top Heavenly Prides in the academy. You should get to know them quickly.”
As he spoke, a smug look appeared in Zhang Zhihe’s eyes.
Being able to recruit five disciples with Level 5 Innate Talent in Jade Light County at once was far beyond his expectations, of course, he was feeling very satisfied.
“Greetings to Senior Brothers Lu and Xiao.”
These five new disciples looked cautiously at Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, their hearts shocked.
These two were only Entry-Level for a year, which meant they were about the same age as them, or even slightly younger.
But their strength and status were almost on par with their examiners!
This was indeed unbelievable to them.
Xiao Chen simply nodded at them and closed his eyes again, unchangingly calm and indifferent as always.
Lu Yun’s gaze withdrew from them and laughed, “Senior Brother Zhang, you are really a lucky guy, I am so envious.”
“All, it’s just okay.” Zhang Zhihe’s gaze fell on Baili Yi and over three hundred others, asking, “Junior Brother, how many good talents did you find this time?”
“Just average, only seven or eight.” Lu Yun said casually.
“It’s okay, Junior Brother. Your first task is… Wait, wait…” Zhang Zhihe’s eyes widened in shock. Then he gestured with both hands, saying, “Seven or eight?” “Yes, just seven or eight!”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhihe suddenly went silent, then slowly walked away, his figure appearing somewhat ‘fallen’.
Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn’t help but complain inwardly, “Is it necessary to be like this? I haven’t even revealed all my cards yet.”
The Black Boat slowly rose into the air, pushing the clouds aside, and continued to fly.
The wind was strong and fierce in the high altitude, but there was no breeze at all on the Black Boat, which was very calm under the protection of an energy shield.
However, some people’s hearts were not calm.
Another hour passed, and the Black Boat stopped again and slowly descended.
There were still more than three hundred people boarding the Black Boat here. The Flying Spirit Martial Academy allocated 360 spots for these regions, which were recruited every five years.
Seeing one of the people, Lu Yun’s gaze sunk.
“Li Yilin?”
With a brief glance, Lu Yun withdrew his gaze.
Looking at some people he didn’t like for too long was a torture for himself.
After arranging the new disciples, Li Yilin glanced in the direction of Lu Yun and the others, his gaze lingering on Xiao Chen the longest.
However, Xiao Chen seemed not to notice the other party’s gaze and remained seated on the ground with his eyes closed.
“Pretending.” Li Yilin sneered and looked away.
Upon seeing Zhang Zhihe standing in a corner and remaining silent, he suddenly came up with an idea.
With a bright smile on his face, he strode towards Zhang Zhihe, and loudly said, “Hey, Senior Brother, did you get lucky this time and receive any good talents?”
Giving Li Yilin a cold glance, Zhang Zhihe replied unhappily, “Not many, just five.”
“Five? That’s quite a coincidence; I also just received five Level 5 Innate Talent disciples, two of whom even have top Level 5 Innate Talent.”
Li Yilin deliberately raised his voice while continually glancing at Xiao Chen.
Disappointing him, Xiao Chen remained unmoved, so he changed his target, looking at Lu Yun instead.
Of course, the result was nearly the same.
“Heh heh, congratulations, Junior Brother Li, you are quite lucky.”
Zhang Zhihe managed to respond, then continued to remain silent.
He didn’t feel like talking now, and he didn’t want to bring up the issue of good talents anymore.
Every time he mentioned it, it made him very depressed.
Recalling his earlier ‘modesty’ in front of Lu Yun, he felt his face turning red.
“Ah, it’s just too embarrassing.”
Ten minutes later, the Black Boat ascended again and continued its journey.
Each time the No.5 Mysterious Ship traveled for half an hour, it would make a stop.
Every time the disciples of the Star Palace who boarded the Black Boats thought they were lucky, they would show off to others; those who were unsatisfied with their journey would ask about others’ gains.
In the end, there was always a sigh and exclamation.
After stopping nine times in a row, the night completely falls, and the Black Boat speeds towards the Flying Spirit Martial Academy.
The closer it gets to the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, the stronger the sense of urgency that builds in Lu Yun’s heart.
He can’t wait to earn Contribution Points and convert them into energy points to improve himself.
The battle under East Field Giant City made him understand that he was still weak, so weak that a Level 5 Demon Beast could easily take his life.
If he faced a Sixth Rank Demon Beast, he would not have a chance to resist.
The Golden Body Realm allows one to walk in the air and fight in the sky.
A Sixth Rank Demon Beast can easily kill an assistant general in the Origin Fluid Realm.
All these deeply stimulate Lu Yun.
“I must grow strong and powerful as quickly as possible,” Lu Yun whispers to himself.
Looking at the dark and empty sky, Lu Yun’s anxiety gradually subsides.
Getting stronger quickly is necessary, but he still needs to maintain a low-key development and a steady pace.
At this moment, Lu Yun feels the rapidly flying Black Boat suddenly shake, as if seized by a powerful force, and it begins to tremble.
The other people are also frightened by this sudden change, casting their gazes into the dark night, trying to see what caused it, but in the end, they see nothing.
And the speed of the Black Boat gradually slows down, eventually stopping in mid-air.
“Sister, there won’t be any trouble, right?” Chen Menghan grips Chen Yawei’s sleeve, her expression showing panic.
“Don’t be afraid. With our Senior Brothers here, there won’t be any trouble,” Chen Yawei pretends to reassure them calmly, but her trembling body betrays her.
Feeling the sudden change, Xiao Chen’s eyes snap open, and when he sees the frightened people on the Black Boat, his sword-like eyebrows furrow slightly.
Lu Yun’s voice quietly emerges, “We may be in big trouble. I just hope our opponents aren’t too strong for even someone in the Golden Body Realm to handle.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrow even more deeply, and his right hand grips tightly on the hilt of his sword.
“Hee-hee-hee-hee…” Suddenly, a cold and sinister voice comes from far away and grows nearer.
Soon, this strange laughter echoes continuously in everyone’s ears, making some of the more timid people shudder with fear.
“Little guys, you won’t be able to reach the Flying Spirit Martial Academy. The White Lotus Sect will be your home,” The booming voice echoes, like thunderclaps rumbling in their ears.
“White Lotus Sect?”
Lu Yun and Xiao Chen exchange glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
When did the White Lotus Sect dare to appear so boldly within the territory of Spirit Martial Prefecture, intercepting the Black Boat of Flying Spirit Martial Academy? Wasn’t this a sign of utter boldness?
However, it also proves from another aspect that the visitors are not simple.
Daring to intercept the Black Boat is enough to show the terrifying strength of the visitors.
At least a master in the Golden Body Realm.
And this is definitely a well-prepared ambush; otherwise, how could they stop the rapidly flying Black Boat in mid-air?
Upon realizing this, Lu Yun’s expression becomes even more serious.
“Why would they spend so much effort and take such a big risk, dispatching a powerful master of the Golden Body Realm at the very least?”
“Could it be for me?” Lu Yun can’t help but wonder.
But he quickly dismisses the thought. While his performance is currently impressive, it’s still within tolerance, and not worth the risk for a Golden Body Realm expert.
“If not me, then who?”
At that moment, a youth wearing tiger skin and beast clothes suddenly appears in his mind.
Gu Yuan.
The visitors must have come for Gu Yuan.
Almost instantly, Lu Yun can be sure that the opponents must be targeting Gu Yuan.
Sizzle!
With a violent tremor, a crack suddenly appears in the energy shield around the Black Boat..
