The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 11: The Examination

Autumn Snow descended slowly, step by step, down the stands, as her black hair danced on the wind. That beautiful face exuded an aura of irresistible charm that was able to move the hearts of the crowd

A very voluptuous face, when combined with a talent that shocked the world…. "Unparalleled beauty indeed." The hearts of many in the crowd thought.

"It was said that even before Autumn Snow condensed her Astral Soul, she was already a genius who had broken through to the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm. Now, to think that he could condense an Astral Soul from the constellation of the 3rd Heavenly Layer on his first attempt. If I'm lucky enough to marry her, I can die with no regrets. "

They could only sigh miserably, subconsciously comparing themselves to the rumored party, Ye WuQue, who was looking for a wedding engagement with Autumn Snow. Perhaps, just with the status and talent of people like Ye WuQue, would they be comparable to Fall Snow. The ruler of the Qin Clan, Qin Wentian, clearly had no idea how high the sky was, or how thick the earth was. Such shameless people should indeed be humiliated. However, the Qin Clan this time had actually brought their troops. Who knows what they're planning.

After a while, Autumn Snow had arrived at the center of the training field, and was deliberately standing there at will. It was as if all the grandeur of today was focused on itself. At this moment, in the training grounds, there were already a total of over 30 people.

The eyes of the various representatives, blazing like burning torches, focused only on Autumn Snow. As for the other exams, it was as if the representatives had no interest at all in them. After all, Fall Snow was the main reason they were here.

The only exception to this is the Mustang. His eyes, gleaming incessantly, as he spoke, "Is there still anyone who wants to participate?"

"That's it." Talon answered lightly. He had to earn the Snowfall to enroll in the Royal Academy by all means.

However, at this moment, a shadow figure walked out of the crowd, as he walked towards the training ground. Seeing this person's features, the crowd fell silent in silence.

"Whatis that? Qin Wentian's? "A lot of people in the crowd started muttering softly. Thinking that Qin Wentian was actually coming. Could it be that he did not know the requirements to participate in the examination?

Bai Qingsong obviously did not anticipate Qin Wentian's arrival. He coldly glanced at Qin Wentian, while turning his gaze to Qin Chuan, before thinking in his heart, "Klan Qin sent their men to save Qin Wentian in the middle of the night, and then he could not help but stop, but why would Qin Chuan allow Qin Wentian's appearance today? But it doesn't matter. Since he is here, today's process should be more beneficial to our Bai Clan. ”It looks like Autumn Snow did not speak to Bai Qingsong about the incident that night.

Upon seeing Qin Wentian, the Mustang's eyes shone brilliantly as they narrowed into cracks, filled with laughter. At the critical moment, he could give up on the registration of Autumn Snow. But regardless of the cost, he had to make Qin Wentian to enter the Star Emperor Academy!

The Mustang subconsciously glanced at Talon, only to see that his face was filled with contempt. After that, almost immediately, the Mustang felt as if a flower was blooming in its heart. He imagined the scenario where Qin Wentian finally released his Astral Soul, and how attractive the expression on Talon's face would be.

Above the training ground, Autumn Snow faced Qin Wentian head-on, and when their gazes were locked, Autumn Snow coldly declared, "Qin Wentian, you don't have the qualifications to stand on this stage – get off here."

Qin Wentian's only answer, was to stare at Autumn Snow, as his lips curved up slightly smiling, before turning his head without any intention to answer.

Seeing Qin Wentian's reaction, Autumn Snow involuntarily furrowed her brows, as if dissatisfied about something, before again stating, "Qin Wentian, I know you feel an injustice in your heart, and yet, between you and me, there is a big difference that you will forever not be able to cross. It's impossible for us to be together. Even if your heart still keeps a trail of reluctance, you must stop your nonsense. This training ground is not the right place for you. You better go now. "

"You're really overestimating yourself." Qin Wentian calmly replied, as he stood to the side, with no intention to speak any further with Autumn Snow. This woman – she is only 16 years old – to think that her cunning ability is already at a high level. Qin Wentian felt sorry for his past, spending all his time and effort, sincerely treating him as his relative. Everything was just an illusion, he danced to the woman's intrigue, there was only his stepping stone, a tool to use.

"My niece is good, Wentian."

In the stands, Bai Qingsong's voice floated. Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards the voice, only to see Bai Qingsong wearing a smile on his face as he said, "My good nephew, Wentian, my daughter Autumn Snow, has a heart of gold. He pitied you for not being able to cultivate, and over the past few years, had spent all his efforts in teaching and guiding you, hoping that you could finally cultivate again. Although his efforts were futile, the exhausting effort he put out could not be ignored, yet you are a savage beast in human clothes. ”

“Autumn Snow leads me? A beast in human clothes? ”Qin Wentian's expression turned frozen, and when he saw Bai Qingsong's completely honest actions, he couldn't help but feel an evil coldness enter his heart. To think that the person he greatly respected, was actually a despicable hypocrite.

“Although you have a marriage with Autumn Snow, but still, you are only engaged and unmarried. To think that you want to pollute my precious daughter, Autumn Snow, and even have a design on my younger daughter, Bai Qing. But taking into account our past relationship, I will not blame you in the least, I just hope that after today, you will not appear again in my view. "

Bai Qingsong's voice was calm, yet Qin Wentian had already seen his true color. If Bai Qingsong wanted to break off the engagement, she could have just done it. To think that he would be so despicable, and use such a cheating method … It was the same as the time in the past when he needed the help of – when he had no choice but to look around for the Qin Clan. This man, after he had achieved his goal, would bury all past relationships ruthlessly, changing faces in a second.

After hearing the words spoken by Bai Qingsong, many people in the crowd began to look at Qin Wentian with disdain in their eyes. The majority of the voices among the crowd began to rise furiously, and endlessly, cursed Qin Wentian viciously.

"Junior Brother ..." On the side of Talon, a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor, glanced at Talon. However, Talon quickly interjected, “Senior, this person was born with a crippled meridian. There was no way he could cultivate. She was engaged to the Snowfall Autumn, therefore it must have been difficult for her to last for three years. "

After hearing Talon's words, the elegantly dressed man immediately understood. Talon is trying to get help from Fall Snow – hoping to be able to form a good impression to help their Royal Academy in the Fall Snow registration.

Qin Wentian's expression grew increasingly cold. The Royal Academy was one of the top prestigious academies in the Royal Capital, yet they actually acted in such a way just to shadow the hope that Snow Autumn would join them. Very disappointing.

“i went on stage because the four big academies were doing registration practice, did I do something wrong? Elder, you are from the senior generation, who is also from the prestigious Royal Academy. Even if you like Autumn Snow, you shouldn't be so blind and stupid – humiliates and turns me away without checking my qualifications. It is truly regrettable, if this is how the venerable Royal Academy usually acts. "

"Bad!" Shouted Talon furiously. “I personally checked your meridians beforehand. Did you tell me I made a mistake? "

"If the elder insists that it must be so, Wentian has nothing to say." Qin Wentian straightened his back, as he stood there with dignity and impressiveness.

“The words of this little brother, do have some benefits for them. Talon, don't you think your behavior is a little too embarrassing? '' The Mustang could not help the excitement in his heart when he saw the conflict that arose between Qin Wentian and Talon.

Talon coldly glanced at the Mustang, as he replied, “Think that Brother Mustang actually has the intention to protect this person. If so, of course I will give face to Brother Mustang. However, don't blame me for not holding back when the lack of qualifications is revealed later in the exam. "

"Let the examination begin."

As the representatives of the four great academies spoke, very quickly, two stone mirrors were installed onto the training stage. These two mirrors seem very confusing. For each of the mirrors, from top to bottom, there were 9 balls of dark light located there. Apart from the similar appearance between them, the effects of each of these two mirrors are quite different. The one on the left seemed to be emitting a faint trace of Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy, while the mirror on the right, was emitting a faint trace of Astral Qi fluctuation ..

'' The first round of examination, is to determine your talent level to sense the Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, as well as sense the Astral Qi from the constellations. We'll start by examining each of you individually. "

After which, someone murmured, "This type of stone mirror is known as the Yuan Observation Mirror and the Astral Observation Mirror. One of the advantages it has, is to test the level of talent. "

Every person from the Nine Heavens Province would at least have a 1-star rank regarding talent in sensing both the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Astral Qi of the Star Race. And thus, it will certainly be able to light the placement of the second lowest light ball of the stone mirror. And as long as one had 1-star ranked talent, it would be enough for the person to cultivate as a Martial Cultivator, absorbing Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth. However, if one wished to become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, one's talent must be at the rank of a three-star rank, and ignite at least three light balls of the Astral Observing Mirror, before they could do so.

Hence, it was very easy for the people from the Nine Heavens Province to cultivate as Martial Cultivators. But, to become a Stellar Martial Cultivator? That was very difficult.

As for the reason behind this, many people speculated that since the birth of the human race, the world had already been saturated with Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, the world was already saturated with Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, so it was naturally much easier to absorb Yuan Qi for cultivation purposes. In comparison, the Astral Qi of the constellations only existed far beyond the heavens, in the Astral Rivers galaxy, in the nine layers of Heaven. It would be more difficult for cultivators to be able to sense Qi to be absorbed, for cultivation purposes.

Naturally, no matter the affinity for Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and Astral Qi of the Constellation, one could increase his sensory abilities and affinity for them through Houtian practices such as mediation. The greater your affinity grows, the higher your talent rank. In the Nine Heavens Province, the majority of those with strong ties to the Astral Constellation would delay condensing their Astral Soul as they hoped to raise their sense abilities to the peak with the help of mediation, before trying to form an Innate connecting with the Astral Constellation of the higher heavenly layers.

At this moment, there was already someone walking towards the stone mirror on the left, and putting his palm on a specially designed groove in the form of". After a while, from the bottom up, the light spheres with light, instantly illuminated the three dark balls of light.

“Talent rating for Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, Star 3”

After which, the same person walked to the stone mirror on the right, to the front of the Astral Observation Mirror, and placed his palm on the groove again. However, this time, only two dark light bulbs lit up, causing the representatives of the four great academies to shake their heads. A failure.

"You can go back now." The young man standing on the stage, was rejected by the representative. He could not help feeling a trace of unwillingness in his heart, as depression was evident on his face. The first round of examination had ended for him just like that.

The second person had a 4-star rank for Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, and a 2-star rank for Astral Qi from the constellations. Although this signified that he would easily be able to cultivate as a Martial Cultivator, it was probably his limit. Wanting to break into the ranks of Stellar Martial Cultivators was highly unlikely for him, and as such, he was rejected by the representatives as well.

Quickly, four more people were knocked out of the examination, causing the atmosphere to become tinged with a nervous feeling. The pass rate for the first round examination was extremely low..The four great academies were truly worthy of their name and prestige.
