As soon as he obtained the last life and death token, he immediately left Life and Death Forest, hoping to be the first person to leave.
The result was just as he had wished. When he appeared in the venue, he was the only student.
However, Han Feng's appearance had broken his fantasy. Han Feng was only a breath later than him, but he had 49 life and death cards, which exceeded the standard of the examination by 13.
"Forty-nine!" Seeing this scene, the eyes of Loong Yi and the others trembled violently. They had seen some parts of Han Feng's performance, but they had never thought that... Han Feng had actually obtained 49 life and death cards, and... It was in such a short period of time.
A bright light flashed across Elder Zi's eyes. This kid's talent was excellent.
"Who is the first?" The man gritted his teeth and said.
Loong Yi frowned. "Did I say that we should rank in this round?"
The man immediately revealed a gloomy expression. Indeed, before the examination, Loong Yi only said that the top three hundred and sixty people would pass the examination, but he didn't say that this round of examination required a ranking.
However, the first person to come out would definitely receive some attention from the higher ups. Perhaps, he would be accepted as a disciple by some elder.
This man had spent so much effort to come out as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that Han Feng would still snatch the limelight away from him.
"It's all your fault!" The man's eyes turned ruthless all of a sudden. He took a step forward, and a long spear appeared in front of him, then he lunged at Han Feng.
"Get lost!" Han Feng shouted. His demonic voice rolled and turned into a sound wave of spiritual energy, rushing towards the man. The man's eardrums felt like they were going to burst from the impact, and he couldn't help but retreat.
Han Feng's cold eyes swept across him, and he didn't even stop for a second. He also looked down on those who couldn't afford to lose.
"Greetings, Dean Long." Han Feng bowed respectfully to Loong Yi.
Loong Yi nodded his head in satisfaction, "You have done well. As for the Iron Sword Mountain, you don't have to worry about it."
Han Feng's heart suddenly shook. Loong Yi actually knew about the Iron Sword Mountain. This indicated that Loong Yi knew what he had done in Life and Death Forest.
Did Loong Yi and the others watch everyone's performance, or did they only pay attention to him?
"Thank you, Dean Long." Although Han Feng didn't know what Loong Yi's intention was, he still thanked him first.
"I will show you some of the 'old monsters' of the academy." Loong Yi said with a smile, which made Han Feng's expression freeze. The only thing that could make Loong Yi call 'old monsters' was probably the Expert of Astral Martial Stage in the academy, right?
It was said that once one broke through to the Celestial Energy Stage, one's lifespan could be extended. The average lifespan was 150 years. If one broke through to the Astral Martial Stage, their lifespan could reach 200 years. Such a person could really be considered an "old monster."
The first person who came out had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had just eaten a few toads alive. His unwilling expression gradually turned into anger. In his opinion, all of this should be his.
Vice Principal Loong Yi's appreciation and meeting with the Expert of Astral Martial Stage, this kind of glory should belong to him.
But he knew that his strength was indeed inferior to Han Feng's. He could only silently walk away and write his name down at the place where he was in charge of registering and passing the list.
Zai Tong.
"You are called Zhuo Mu?" An old man with a smile on his face asked. Han Feng recognized him. This old man had been sitting on the platform, watching the first round of the examination.
"That's right." Han Feng nodded, "Kid, Zhuo Mu greets all the seniors."
"From today onwards, you are a member of the Hongtian Academy." Loong Yi said with a smile, causing Han Feng to be overjoyed, "Thank you, Dean Long."
"Why thank him?" The voice of an old woman in a green robe beside the old man was cold, causing Loong Yi to let out a bitter laugh. This Elder Qing Xuan really did not give him any face.
"What's wrong with thanking my disciple? Shouldn't it be?" Another elder spoke. The elder's hair and beard were all black, and only his eyebrows were white.
This white-browed Elder was actually the master of Vice Academy Master Loong Yi. No one knew how strong he would be.
"Stop fighting." Elder Zi stopped them. These old fogeys would pinch him the moment they saw him, and he didn't know when it would happen.
Loong Yi said to Han Feng, "In the first round of the examination, you knocked twenty-five times. You broke the record of Hongtian Academy, so you should have been the same as the others. You have been exempted from participating in the following examination. However, in order to let the other elders see your performance, he still allowed you to participate in the second round. Fortunately, the talent and combat strength you displayed in Life and Death Forest... Still satisfied us. "
"Right now, you have two choices. You have to listen carefully "
Han Feng listened carefully and his heart skipped a beat. He actually still had to choose?
"The first choice, the elders present are all Astral Martial Stage experts. In the Tianfeng City, you have a very high reputation. You can choose one. As your master, you don't need to participate in the third round of the examination. Follow your master and focus on your cultivation. "
The first choice that Loong Yi spoke of was definitely very tempting. The Expert of Astral Martial Stage as his master's guide in the path of martial arts was the dream of countless young geniuses. Even those super strong geniuses couldn't compare to him. In fact, becoming a disciple of the Expert of Astral Martial Stage was enough for Han Feng to do whatever he wanted in the Tianfeng City. Even the patriarchs of the Wang family and Hai family had to be respectful when they saw him.
However, although such a choice was tempting, it seemed like something was missing to Han Feng. It seemed like he lacked the passion to break into the world of martial arts.
"What's the second choice?" Han Feng asked.
"The second choice, you need to participate in the third round of the examination. By cultivating in the Hongtian Academy, you can rely on your own efforts to fight for resources. Just like the other disciples, what kind of heights can you reach in the end? It all depends on your own hard work and talent. "
At this point, if it were anyone else here, they would choose the first option without hesitation. The former was the open path, while the latter was the thorn.
However, Han Feng still hesitated. The first option was very tempting, but it wasn't enough to tempt him.
The second choice, although it would make him take many more detours, it could also temper his will.
Han Feng favored the latter when it came to smooth sailing and brambles.
"I think I'll choose the second one." After a few breaths, Han Feng replied.
"Oh? You choose, the second one?" Loong Yi was a little surprised. Han Feng actually gave up the chance to become a disciple of the Expert of Astral Martial Stage and chose to cultivate by himself. Could it be that he didn't know what kind of opportunity he had given up?
Regarding the benefits brought by the first choice, Loong Yi was the one who understood it the most. When he entered Hongtian Academy, it was also because of the war drum test. It attracted an Expert of Astral Martial Stage to accept him as a disciple. Because of this, he obtained cultivation resources that surpassed ordinary people. The path of martial arts was extremely smooth, and he became the youngest Vice Dean of Hongtian Academy. Furthermore, Loong Yi was believed to have a chance before he turned 100 years old. He wanted to break through to the High Level of the Astral Martial Stage.
In his heart, he also hoped that Han Feng would become a disciple of a certain Expert of Astral Martial Stage. All the elders present were people who could shake the entire Tianfeng City with their trembling legs, but Han Feng didn't care about them at all.
"Don't you want to think about it?" Loong Yi asked.
Han Feng smiled and shook his head. Although he had received guidance from the Expert of Astral Martial Stage, it makes the path of martial arts easier, but everyone's path of martial arts is different. He cultivated the sword and the devil, amongst the Astral Martial Stage elders present. He might not be able to fully develop his talent.
Furthermore, he had the Devil Sword in his body, which was his biggest reliance. He believed that if the Devil Sword was human, its cultivation base and realm would definitely exceed the Astral Martial Stage.
Therefore, Han Feng shook his head. He hoped that the path of martial arts would follow his heart, and not the old path his master had taken.
Perhaps, in the future, he would choose an expert as his master, but not now.
"It's not that this kid doesn't appreciate it, but that this kid's natural endowment is dull, and he doesn't deserve to be the disciple of all the elders." Han Feng's tone was extremely respectful, and his attitude was very humble. However, a trace of displeasure still flashed across the faces of the few Astral Martial Stage elders. This kid... He really didn't know how to appreciate favors.
"Young man, do you know what kind of opportunity you have given up?" Loong Yi's master, the white-browed elder, asked. He had high hopes for this talented junior, and hoped that he would be worthy of his appreciation.
"I pursue the path of martial arts, but follow my heart. If my heart is unwilling, then... Choosing is only a hindrance. " Han Feng continued to speak respectfully, causing a strange look to appear in Loong Yi's eyes. This kid's understanding and pursuit of the Martial Path was very deep.
Loong Yi had to admit that what Han Feng said made sense. Even if he provided peerless cultivation methods and abundant resources, if it went against the heart of a martial artist, it would instead become a shackle that bound the path of a martial artist.
"Perhaps you are right, but you are not giving us face at all." Elder Zi said snappily. He was the one who discovered Han Feng first. He also invited a few elders of the same level as him to come and watch Han Feng's performance in Life and Death Forest. If Han Feng refused to let them go just like that, it would be a huge loss of face for Elder Zi. Where would he put his face?
"If you offend Senior, please punish me." Han Feng said helplessly. If the other party really took his anger out on him, any one of them would turn him into powder in less than half a move.
"If we really attack you, we will lose all our face if word of this gets out." Although that Elder Qing Xuan was cold, he was extremely arrogant in his bones. With an Astral Martial Stage cultivation base, she couldn't attack a Spiritual Martial Stage junior.
"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy." Han Feng said hastily.
"You brat, you really know how to grasp the opportunity." Elder Zi couldn't help but curse, "How about this, although you don't think I'm your master... I can still give you guidance. If you're confused in the future in terms of martial arts, you can come and find me. "
Han Feng was flattered. This Elder Zi was indeed magnanimous. He was willing to give him guidance even though he had rejected him.
"You are a good old man. You are making us look petty." The white-browed elder said to Han Feng, "If you come, I can give you some pointers as well."
Elder Qing Xuan said indifferently, "Same."
The fact that the three Expert of Astral Martial Stages were willing to give Han Feng pointers caused Han Feng's heart to be filled with wild joy.
