Qin Wuyi nodded, glancing around at the mocking, anticipating gazes fixed upon him like needles.
He stepped up onto the platform, his brow revealing only indifference.
Su Wensheng shook his head and sighed. “He’s an excellent seedling with exceptional literary talent. If properly cultivated, he will surely become the pride of the Qufu Academy. In the future, he may even attain scholarly honors and govern as an official.”
“He appears quite confident. I suspect he has assurance of passing the assessment.”
“How could that be possible?” Su Wensheng shook his head. “Just three days ago, he was only at the Six Star level! Unless… he advanced another star in three days without external aid?”
Beside him, Gao Wenhai hurriedly inquired, “Wait, Teacher Su means he was at Six Stars three days ago?”
“Yes, what of it?”
“This… this…”
Consider that ten days prior, Qin Wuyi had only been at the Five Star level.
His cultivation speed was a bit too rapid!
Below the stage, Mi Xue stood with palms pressed together, looking exceptionally nervous.
The former Crown Prince Zheng had been the unrivaled Dominating Star of the world!
Reaching Nine Stars at age seven had shocked the Spring and Autumn era!
She did not know why Qin Wuyi’s cultivation had regressed, but she believed he would absolutely succeed!
Ling Jun sneered disdainfully. “I refuse to believe his cultivation could progress this quickly! Unable to enter the Earth Sect, he’ll be expelled from the academy. How will he compete with me for Princess Mi then?”
In truth, he failed to realize that even without Qin Wuyi present, he still had no chance in pursuing Mi Xue.
On the empty ground, everyone fixed burning gazes upon Qin Wuyi, wanting to know if he could truly create a miracle…
“Begin,” Antai Ming said. He had initially paid special attention to Qin Wuyi due to his astonishing entrance exam.
Qin Wuyi had mastered everything taught by the Literature Department, greatly surprising the instructors there.
But who could have imagined he would seem as if cursed, his cultivation not advancing in the slightest all these years.
Many Literature teachers felt it a great pity. Some even used their own funds to invite alchemists to examine Qin Wuyi’s condition.
However, not even Rank 4 alchemists, or even Antai Ming himself, could determine the reason.
Nevertheless, over the years, Antai Ming never gave up his focus on Qin Wuyi.
If Qin Wuyi still could not meet the assessment requirements this time, he would be directly expelled from the Qufu Academy.
This was a rule set by the Academy Head that not even Antai Ming could violate…
Qin Wuyi nodded and extended his right hand.
As spiritual energy surged, star after star emerged, floating in the air.
In the blink of an eye, they reached five stars.
Ling Jun stared intently. When the sixth Kaiyang Star appeared, he grew even more nervous than Qin Wuyi on stage.
Six Stars?
Many students revealed looks of astonishment. In ten days, he had advanced another star. This could already be called stunning talent.
Moreover, this was without the aid of any external forces!
But in the next instant, the entire arena fell into dead silence…
The seventh Yaoguang Star emerged, flickering with an enchanting light, exceptionally dazzling.
“Seven Stars?!” Su Wensheng spat out a mouthful of tea, his face full of disbelief. “How is this possible?”
Without relying on any elixirs, Qin Wuyi had increased his cultivation by two stars in ten days!
Furthermore, he had advanced an entire star just in the last three days!
“Ten days… two stars?”
“He passed!”
Mi Xue bit her red lips, her eyes even misting over slightly.
Ling Jun’s face turned incomparably unsightly. “How can this be? Why, why?!”
Advancing two stars in ten days could be called world-shaking!
His cultivation was indeed not strong, only at the Seven Star level.
But in terms of astonishment, it was even more exaggerated than Mi Xue reaching the Tiantong Realm.
Mi Xue attaining the Tiantong Realm was due to her having endless resources supporting her!
She was also a monstrous genius in terms of cultivation talent, possessing the direct bloodline of the Chu royal family.
But Qin Wuyi was different…
He did not have a powerful background. Ten days ago, he had merely been at the Five Star level.
Without the aid of any external forces, not even accepting Su Wensheng’s elixirs, relying only on himself, he reached Seven Stars!
Passing the Earth Sect assessment, he formally became an Earth Sect disciple!
As if he had done something completely natural and expected, Qin Wuyi recalled the seven stars and turned around.
Even Antai Ming was somewhat dazed, his voice revealing disbelief, “How did you reach Seven Stars?”
“This…”
Qin Wuyi hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands. “It’s a personal secret. I don’t need to say it, right?”
“Ahem!” Antai Ming nodded. “Of course not.”
Su Wensheng couldn’t help but laugh. “He really is quite interesting, actually refusing to give face even to the Vice-President.”
“In all these years, when have you seen the Vice-President so awkwardly snubbed?”
“This truly is a miracle… two stars in ten days…”
Gao Wenhai was also quite excited, praising non-stop.
“Truly like the Chu King – not flying for ten years, but once he flies, he will pierce the heavens! After ten years of silence, he has finally awakened!”
“Now that this youth has awakened, his future prospects will be limitless.”
“If given the chance, he may be able to enter the imperial court as an official, leaving his name in the annals of history!”
“The Literature Department has produced another genius!”
Reaching Seven Stars at age eighteen was not considered very impressive, and could only be said to reveal ordinary talent.
But Qin Wuyi was different. He had only used ten days to increase his cultivation by two stars!
His cultivation speed could be considered number one in both the Literature and Martial Departments!
Antai Ming took out the Earth Sect jade token symbolizing his new identity and handed it to Qin Wuyi. “This is your token. You will need it for your future life in the Earth Sect.”
Qin Wuyi slowly walked down. Mi Xue, all smiles, hurriedly asked, “How did your cultivation increase so quickly?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Hmph…”
Antai Ming did not dismiss them right then. Sweeping his gaze across everyone, he continued, “Also, in a few days it will be Lord Chunshen’s 500th birthday celebration, where he will host a Thousand Elders Banquet. Our Qufu Academy is able to send one student representative.”
“In order to give all students a chance, those who advanced to the Earth Sect from both the Literature and Martial Departments will be able to take a written examination. The champion will be able to represent our academy in attending Lord Chunshen’s banquet!”
As his voice fell, the entire arena burst into clamor.
Many began discussing spiritedly, appearing exceptionally excited.
A cold light flashed through Ling Jun’s eyes as he stared at Qin Wuyi. “Senior Brother Qin, while you got lucky this time in entering the Earth Sect, you better not lose before facing me in the competition three days from now!”
Qin Wuyi nodded. “Mm, don’t worry. I will try my best!”
“Heh!”
Ling Jun just smiled coldly before leaving with a flourish.
With his status, he could enter Lord Chunshen’s Thousand Elders Banquet directly.
