The entire hall fell into dead silence…
Nine stars!
At only seventeen years old, Ling Jun had already reached the cultivation level of nine stars!
Such talent in cultivation could only be described as monstrous!
Even in the Martial Academy, he would definitely have the strength to put up a fight.
Many teachers also revealed shocked expressions and stood up one after another.
“Nine stars?”
“He… has already reached nine stars?”
“A genius, a true genius!”
Even Dantai Ming nodded in recognition, “Not bad.”
He then took out a jade pendant in emerald green, with the character ‘Earth’ engraved on it.
“This is the Earth Sect jade pendant, symbolizing one’s identity. Regardless of strength, anyone who sees the Earth Sect jade pendant will give face.”
“Thank you!”
Ling Jun took the jade pendant. Under the dumbfounded gazes of countless students, he slowly walked down.
As he passed by Qin Wuyi, he suddenly opened his folding fan with his right hand, carrying a provocative tone, “Senior Brother Qin, after entering the Earth Sect, I will take good care of the princess!”
“She probably doesn’t need your care.”
Qin Wuyi didn’t give an inch, speaking indifferently.
In response, Ling Jun only gave a contemptuous smile and left with flair.
A few more students successfully passed the assessment. The next name once again drew cheers from all the students present.
“Next, Princess Mi.”
Even Dantai Ming, one of the Seventy-two Sages of Confucianism, didn’t dare to directly address Mi Xue by name.
“Brother Wuyi, we must enter the Earth Sect together!”
Mi Xue’s eyes carried certainty as she spoke softly. Seeing Qin Wuyi nod, she then lifted the hem of her dress and slowly walked onto the wooden stage.
Many teachers stood up, looking at the charming figure of the young lady before them with exceptional anticipation.
Qin Wuyi hadn’t participated in the assessment for ten years, and Mi Xue hadn’t participated for ten years either.
Over the years, even though she had been suppressing her own cultivation, she was of the direct bloodline of the Chu royal family. How could her talent be lacking?
Her long black hair was tied up with a light blue ribbon, hanging down to her waist.
Two strands of hair fell in front of her chest, with a strange red talisman dotting her brow.
Her graceful and enchanting figure was untainted by the mortal world.
Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting.
Mi Xue slowly raised her hand, the sleeve sliding down to reveal her snow-white and slender arm like a lotus root.
Her delicate jade-like hand made a hollow cupping gesture. As spiritual power surged, one after another, bright stars leaped out.
One star!
Two stars!
…
Nine stars!
“Nine stars!”
Gao Wenhai was so excited that his face flushed red. Finally, he could give Chu Wang an explanation…
If Mi Xue had failed in her studies and lost face in this test, Chu Wang would have lost all dignity and would definitely be furious!
Dantai Ming frowned slightly. He could sense that it seemed to be more than just that!
Accompanied by a dazzling light blue glow, all the students exclaimed in surprise.
“No! Princess Mi is no longer at the Star Mastery stage. She… she has already reached the Heavenly Connection realm and possesses divine powers!”
“Heavenly Connection!”
“Princess Mi is also only seventeen years old this year, yet she has already reached the Heavenly Connection realm?”
“It’s too unbelievable!”
Ling Jun felt a bit humiliated. At the same age of seventeen, Mi Xue had already reached the Heavenly Connection realm, while he was merely at nine stars.
However, he didn’t pay too much attention to it.
After all, Mi Xue was born into the royal family, so it was understandable.
A star emitting a rich blue light seemed to have a life of its own, constantly revolving around Mi Xue.
Thunderous applause continuously erupted, but Mi Xue’s eyes remained unmoved, always gazing at Qin Wuyi from afar.
She was able to reach the Heavenly Connection realm all thanks to Qin Wuyi.
“Princess Mi’s talent is exceptional, her elegance is peerless. She is also promoted to an Earth Sect disciple.”
Even in the Martial Academy, those who could reach the Heavenly Connection realm were few and far between.
Mi Xue took the Earth Sect jade pendant and gracefully walked down from the stage with light steps.
The students on both sides constantly let out gasps of admiration, each and every one of them astonished.
Gao Wenhai stood up and respectfully inquired, “Princess Mi, I remember not long ago you were still at nine stars. How could you advance to the Heavenly Connection realm in such a short time?”
It wasn’t easy to make a breakthrough in cultivation to a higher realm.
If luck wasn’t on one’s side, it could take one or two years and still fail to make a breakthrough!
Mi Xue turned around and stood beside Qin Wuyi, with a charming smile, “Because I took a medicinal pill, that’s why my cultivation could improve so quickly.”
“So that’s how it is…”
“No wonder the cultivation would improve so quickly…”
Su Wensheng was also an alchemist. Hearing this, he immediately became interested and stood up, “Then what kind of medicinal pill did Princess Mi take?”
“It seems to be a first-grade medicinal pill, the Inquiring Star Pill.”
“What?”
Su Wensheng had an incredulous look on his face, “You said the Inquiring Star Pill?”
Not to mention the students below, many teachers also looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why the Zither Sage was so surprised.
It was just a first-grade medicinal pill, what was so shocking about it?
They naturally didn’t know that the Inquiring Star Pill was Su Wensheng’s unique specialty. Only he knew how to refine it.
It simply couldn’t be bought outside!
Despite being a first-grade medicinal pill, its medicinal effects were even more powerful than some second-grade medicinal pills.
Just three days ago, Su Wensheng had given one to Qin Wuyi.
Could it be…
Su Wensheng immediately held his breath and asked in surprise, “Princess Mi, where did you get this Inquiring Star Pill from?”
“This…”
Mi Xue turned around and gazed at Qin Wuyi, softly saying, “It was him who gave it to me a few days ago.”
“…”
Su Wensheng instantly collapsed into his chair, his eyes lost, “It’s over!”
“It’s all over!”
Even Qin Fei had a look of despair. He didn’t expect that Qin Wuyi would actually give the Inquiring Star Pill to Mi Xue.
Seeing them like this, Mi Xue was at a loss, not knowing what was going on.
“What… happened to you?”
Qin Fei stood up and could only explain, “This Inquiring Star Pill was made by Elder Su. Three days ago, he gave it to Qin Wuyi, hoping that he could meet the assessment requirements and advance to the Earth Sect.”
“And he… gave it to you instead…”
“What?”
Mi Xue’s eyes instantly widened, “Why did you give it to me? This… this was the medicinal pill for you to advance to the Earth Sect!”
From beginning to end, Qin Wuyi hadn’t expressed much, “It’s possible even without this medicinal pill.”
Ling Jun on the side immediately laughed sinisterly, opening his folding fan and speaking leisurely, “Senior Brother Qin is really interesting. For Princess Mi’s sake, he has gone to great lengths. Even… not hesitating to sacrifice his own opportunity to advance to the Earth Sect.”
“Indeed, Senior Brother Qin is really amazing.”
Originally, Mi Xue didn’t think much of it. But when she learned that this medicinal pill was the key for Qin Wuyi to advance to the Earth Sect, the heartstring in her heart was strummed by Qin Wuyi.
“Alright, everyone quiet down.”
With a light shout from Dantai Ming, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
“Last one, Qin Wuyi.”

Thank you again for your thoughtful response and for creating such a captivating story. I look forward to following Qin Wuyi’s journey and seeing where the story takes us next.
With gratitude and admiration
Ling Jun is such an arrogant and despicable character. I can’t stand his constant provocations towards Qin Wuyi. I hope Qin Wuyi puts him in his place soon!
The chemistry between Qin Wuyi and Princess Mi is electric! I ship them so hard. Qin Wuyi giving her that precious medicinal pill was the ultimate romantic gesture. Swoon!
I’m curious to see how Qin Wuyi will perform in the assessment without the Inquiring Star Pill. Will he still manage to advance to the Earth Sect? The suspense is killing me!
I can’t wait to see how Qin Wuyi’s relationship with his teachers, like Su Wensheng and Qin Fei, will evolve after this incident. Will they be disappointed in him or understand his actions?
The author has a real talent for creating vivid and memorable characters. Each one, from the protagonists to the minor players, feels distinct and well-developed. Bravo!
I have a theory that Qin Wuyi is actually some sort of reincarnated ancient cultivator. How else could he be so talented and wise beyond his years? Just a wild guess, but it would be a cool twist!
This novel keeps me on the edge of my seat with every chapter. The plot twists, the character dynamics, the martial arts action – it’s all so expertly crafted. I’m completely hooked!
I’m getting a bit tired of the constant focus on romance and relationships. I want to see more hardcore cultivation and martial arts battles! Less talking, more fighting!
The pacing of this novel is actually quite good. The author knows when to slow down and focus on character development, and when to ramp up the action and excitement. It’s a delicate balance.
I have a feeling that Ling Jun is going to be a major antagonist in the future. He seems like the type who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means resorting to underhanded tactics.
The descriptions of the various cultivation techniques and spiritual powers are so intricate and imaginative. It’s clear that the author has put a lot of thought into creating this unique cultivation system.
I’m hoping we get to see more of the wider world in future chapters. What other sects and factions exist out there? What kind of political intrigues and power struggles are going on behind the scenes?
The way Qin Wuyi handles himself in the face of adversity and challenges is really admirable. He’s not just a powerful cultivator, but also a man of integrity and principle.
I’m predicting that Princess Mi will play a crucial role in the upcoming story arcs. Her royal lineage and mysterious background suggest that she has hidden depths and secrets waiting to be revealed.
The author has a gift for creating vivid and atmospheric settings. From the majestic halls of the Martial Academy to the tranquil gardens of the royal palace, each location feels rich and fully realized.
I can’t help but wonder about Qin Wuyi’s family background and upbringing. What kind of experiences and training shaped him into the prodigious cultivator he is today? I hope we get some flashbacks or backstory reveals soon.
The dialogue in this novel is so witty and engaging. The verbal sparring between characters like Qin Wuyi and Ling Jun is a real highlight, and adds an extra layer of entertainment to the story.
I appreciate how the author takes the time to explain the intricacies of the cultivation world without resorting to heavy-handed info-dumps. The world-building is woven seamlessly into the narrative.
The cliffhanger endings of each chapter are both frustrating and exhilarating. They always leave me wanting more, and I find myself counting down the days until the next update.
I have a crazy fan theory that Qin Wuyi and Ling Jun are actually long-lost brothers, separated at birth. It would explain their intense rivalry and add an extra layer of drama to their interactions. Probably not true, but fun to speculate about!
The themes of loyalty, friendship, and sacrifice that run through this novel are really heartwarming. It’s not just about gaining power and status, but also about the bonds between people and the lengths they will go to protect each other.
I can already tell that this novel is going to be an epic journey with tons of twists, turns, and revelations. I’m buckled up and ready for the ride, no matter how long it takes to reach the destination!
