"I am Shen Yi, fifteen years old, and I am a three-star dou spirit."
After speaking, he attacked the pillar in front of him with his pure purple lightning.
Bang!
Immediately the pillar along with the whole examination hall trembled, all the candidates' faces changed, and they backed away.
Meanwhile, the Ruo Ling fell into a daze looking at the purple lightning flickering on the surface of the pillar.
'Three-star dou ling and such dou qi intensity, he is definitely a peerless monster.'
She returned to her senses, and her pupils brightened looking at Shen Yi.
"Congratulations, Shen Yi, you have passed the entrance exam. You are assigned to S class, and also, you are eligible to participate in the upcoming inner sect promotion competition."
Shen Yi nodded calmly, looking at her, retracted his dou qi, and stood aside calmly.
"My name is Zhou Kong. I am seventeen years old and a three-star dou practitioner."
Another candidate walked forward toward the pillar while looking at him deeply and then stroked the pillar with his attack.
"Congratulations, you passed the entrance exam, Zhou Kong. You are assigned to B class."
One by one candidates attacked the pillars; except for three candidates, the rest failed and were sent away.
Ruo Ling glanced at Shen Yi and others two and spoke.
"Shen Yi, you follow me. Both of you wait here; someone will show you the academy, the residence, and your assigned class."
Both of the other candidates nodded, looking at each other, while Shen Yi calmly followed her outside the examination hall.
"Shen Yi, your talent is really unique; this academy hasn't recruited any student with talent rivaling yours before. Can you tell me your true origin… I am now suspecting that you are a descendant of those large clans from the central continent."
Ruo Ling asked, looking at him with a curious and inquiring expression.
Shen Yi raised his brow hearing her question and then shook his head and replied,
"I am just a descendant of a normal businessmanin Yan City of the Jia Ma Empire; my family has no connection to any central continent you suspected. You can easily inquire about that. As for my talent… it's because I have a special physique."
Ruo Ling was startled, and then her expression became strange. 'It's really unbelievable; special physiques and bloodlines are originated and transferable. Even if his family doesn't have any connection with those saintly or noble clans in the central plain, one of his ancestors must have had such talent; that's why he inherited it.'
She thought and nodded in her heart while observing his side profile as they moved forward.
Soon she brought him in front of two old men standing beside the main Outer Branch building; one of them is a little obese old man, while the other is lean and tall, standing in contrast to each other.
Both of these old men immediately noticed Ruoling's arrival, and one of them asked while rubbing his short white goatee, while the other was observing Shen Yi with scrutiny.
"Little Ruo, is this the new student you recruited? Why are you escorting him yourself? Is he your relative?"
Ruo Ling saluted and replied, "Elder Hu, he is indeed the new recruit, but he is extremely talented; he is a three-star dou spirit at the age of fifteen."
Elder Hu and the other old man beside him were startled.
"What? Dou Spirit at the age of fifteen?"
Both of them glanced at Shen Yi in shock with opened mouths, their chins almost dislocated because of surprise.
'It seems I am not the only one with such a reaction; this monster will soon surprise the whole academy.'
Ruo Ling sighed in her heart after seeing the outer branch elders' reaction.
After returning to their senses, they started looking at him up and down with a bright gaze.
After sensing nothing from him, not even strength and dou qi, both of their brows raised, and then Elder Hu commented with praise,
"Little guy, your concealment is not bad; it seems you have a very good disguise technique. Even I can't see through your realm. Now release your dou qi for us to see."
Shen Yi nodded and then released his purple dou qi with pure purple lightning flickering on his whole body surface; dou spirit realm pressure spread around.
'Such pure lightning; he definitely has a special physique, and the quality of his exercise is extremely high.'
Both elders were once again surprised, and their pupils flickered as they looked at each other, while the other elder nodded and said,
"Very well, you are indeed very talented. Ruo Ling, show him the outer branch and let him familiarize himself with the rules of the academy."
"Yes, Old Huo," Ruo Ling nodded and saluted toward both of them and then walked forward gracefully. Shen Yi also nodded toward them and retracted his dou qi while following her calmly.
Meanwhile, both old men glanced at his back, and Elder Hu asked thoughtfully, "What do you think about this little guy's background?"
Old Huo shook his head and replied with a disappointed expression, "I don't know about his background, but this little guy is a very talented lad. It's a pity he doesn't have any wood and flame properties; my alchemy department would do everything to get such a talented disciple."
The elder Hu beside him fell speechless looking at old Huo's disappointed expression and then shook his head.
On the other hand,
Ruo Ling showed him the outer branch and the class he was assigned to. Shen Yi noticed a few familiar figures inside the class.
'I remember their names are Wu Hao, Bai Shen, and Hu Jia. Hi, Jia is the granddaughter of the elder Hu I just met outside. Anyway, these guys are a headache for Xiao Yan; I will just participate in the upcoming promotional competition and advance to the inner branch.'
Shen Yi thought to himself, looking at the three familiar figures and other students, then he silently followed inside, not caring about these side characters.
