The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 33: Coalition of Nine Academies

After Mo Qingcheng left, Qin Wentian and the rest continued their journey, walking through the Arch Gate and arriving at the other side. It was very lively; most of the crowd was around 15-16 years old, and the energy of the young people excitedly permeated the atmosphere.

"Today is the registration day for all the academies, which is why there are so many people," Mountain explained. Qin Wentian also found that in this vast area, people were gathered into nine lines as they queued up to register and take the required exams.

“See the area in the middle. That area was assigned to our Star Emperor Academy. Wow, there are so many people queuing up to sign up. ”Mountain pointed to a large area somewhere in front, where there were many people with nervous expressions on their faces. Moreover, there were some who left with sad expressions; clearly, they failed to meet the target.

"Why is he the one assigned today?" The Mountain Eyebrow slightly furrowed as he looked towards the elder who was assigned by the Star Emperor Academy.

Qin Wentian glanced towards the Mountain with a questioning look in his eyes before Mountain explained, "The elder in charge of this examination is named Janus, and within the Star Emperor Academy, there are two schools of thought. I, Master Mustang, belong to one of the factions that underestimated the interaction with the aristocratic clans and the Royal Family, while Janus, who belonged to the second faction, had a viewpoint that was opposite to mine. He supports forging closer relationships with those with authority and power. "

"And, earlier, regarding the matter of your family, the Star Emperor Academy rejected the request for help precisely because of the second faction."

After understanding, Qin Wentian's skin returned to normal. If the Star Emperor Academy had agreed to a request for help, the Mustang and the others would not have handled matters on their own.

"Let's go. Since you're already here, what else can he do? "Luo Huan's eyes narrowed slightly as he felt a feeling of anxiety in his heart. The assigned elder should not be Janus.

Some of them moved forward and soon arrived at the place reserved for the Star Emperor Academy. As the most famous academy in the entire Chu Country, there were many people who wanted to try to enter. Not only were there citizens of the State of Chu, there were even people from neighboring countries. As for Emperor Star Academy, talent was the only criterion. As long as you are talented enough, you will be accepted regardless of nationality.

However, the level of rejection for the Star Emperor Academy was also the highest.

There were so many young people in line that its length resembled a long dragon. Upon seeing Luo Huan's voluptuous figure approaching nearby, the hot-blooded youths all began to get lost in their fantasies.

As Luo Huan led Qin Wentian forward, a figure dressed in white robes blocked their path. Exuding a sharp aura, this person had a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows and was 18 years old.

"Young junior brother Qin, this person is named Orchon. His cultivation level was at level 8 of the Circulation Arterial Realm, and he had been cultivating in Emperor Star Academy for two years. He is very strong, so you have to be careful around him, ”Mountain whispered softly.

"Senior Orchon." Luo Huan smiled as he approached Orchon, "I'm here to collect the Jade Medal from Elder Janus."

Orchon calmly glanced at Luo Huan, and as he turned his gaze to Qin Wentian, the look in his eyes became sharp like the tip of a long spear. He coldly stated, "Join the queue."

"Orchon, he has passed the Master Mustang examination before in Sky Harmony City." Luo Huan's face turned cold as well.

Orchon indifferently stared back at Luo Huan as he indifferently replied, "So what?"

"Hmm." Luo Huan let out a cold snort as he turned to Janus, who was in front of him. He stated, "Older Janus, under the orders of my teacher, I'm here to obtain the Jade Emperor's Star Medal."

It was as if Janus had not heard his words. Without looking at him, he immediately replied, "Join in the queue."

"Older Janus, Junior Brother Qin Wentian has passed the test set by Master Mustang." Luo Huan, upon realizing that Janus did not even glance at him, had a rather unsightly expression on his face. It seems like Janus is determined to use his official authority to achieve personal retaliation. In the academy, this was the first time Luo Huan had been in direct disagreement with Orchon; their confrontation reflected that of Mustang and Janus.

Only now did Janus turn his gaze to Luo Huan and Qin Wentian. The highlight of his eyes reflected Orchon's sharp and cold gaze as he replied. “What he passed through was the Mustang examination, not mine. In any case, we have reached an agreement with another academy: today is the last day of the exam, he said, and those who passed the initial examination would join the coalition of the nine academies and enter the Dark Forest to participate in the demon beast hunting as training. This practice was considered a second test; only those who passed could enter into one of the nine martial academies. "

"Therefore, it was the same for him; even if he passed the Mustang examination, if he wanted to obtain the Emperor Star Jade Medallion, he would first have to survive the practice training. "

"How long is the exercise?" Luo Huan coldly asked.

"Anneu." Answer Janus.

"If you don't want to participate, you can choose to surrender and return to Sky Harmony City." At this moment, another young man appeared beside Orchon, staring coldly at Qin Wentian.

At this moment, Qin Wentian could feel many gazes focused on his body. His sense ability was always strong, and following his senses, he shifted his gaze and found that in the area designated for the Royal Academy, there were many pairs of eyes staring at him. One of them, wearing a green robe and emitting cold air, was none other than Bai Autumn Snow.

The Bai Clan had already moved to the Royal Capital. The Fall of Snow, it seems, has also planned to join the exercise approved by the Nine Academies Coalition.

Qin Wentian's heart was as calm as a mirror. He had not expected that the moment he stepped into the Royal Capital, there would be a trap set up for him by the others, preparing to devour him in a mouthful.

Naturally, the majority of the applicants did not know that this expedition, other than being an exercise, contained a secondary purpose: to deal with Qin Wentian. The majority of the suitors did not know who Qin Wentian was; they only knew that this exercise was extremely dangerous. Not too long ago, the nine martial academies had told everyone that they could retreat if they were worried for their safety.

Luo Huan glared at Janus as he asked, "How do we determine the fairness of this examination?"

“According to the Nine Academies Coalition, all applicants must enter the Dark Forest without exception. Moreover, each of the nine martial academies, would send two elders as well as four seniors to supervise the operation and to prevent any accidents from happening. What are you trying to ask? ”Janus coldly replied.

"Then who is the representative of our Star Emperor Academy?" Luo Huan continued asking.

“As for the elders, they are Mustangs and I. The seniors will be my students and his students. Mustang knew about this matter, which he had agreed to. ”Janus coldly laughed.

After hearing the answer, Luo Huan turned his gaze to Qin Wentian, only to find Qin Wentian smiling lightly as he replied, "i am willing to participate in the practice exercise."

Upon his approval, Qin Wentian noticed that the young man beside Orchon was curled up with a cold and disturbing smile.

"Let's go to the side and rest." Luo Huan brought Qin Wentian aside.

"Junior Brother Qin, this time, there seems to be a lot of forces working actively against you. You must be careful in everything you do. Not only that, the Dark Forest is already dangerous enough to deal with without you having to concentrate on defending against dangerous people. "The mountain grimly reminded Qin Wentian.

“I will respect Master Mustang's decision. As for the rest of the suitors who plan to make a move against me, as well as the demonic beasts, I will definitely be careful, " replied Qin Wentian.

"Remember this: do not underestimate or underestimate any of the suitors, especially the applicants from aristocratic clans who apply for the Star Emperor Academy and the Royal Academy. Some of them might be young, but without a doubt, their talents could all be considered monstrous. "

"Very good. Let's wait for the training to begin. "Qin Wentian tilted her head, and her gaze unintentionally glanced towards Autumn Snow. There, Autumn Snow was surrounded by many young men and women, similar to the stars clustered around the cold and beautiful moon. The reason for this attention, other than his own innate talent, also had something to do with the marriage engagement between him and Ye WuQue.

"Master, why not let me look for some good rest spots available in the Royal Capital?" Francis respectfully suggested to Qin Wentian.

"Okay, please do that." Qin Wentian did not mind.

"I'll wait for you to show up unscathed." Francis smiled and left. He believed that with his abilities, Qin Wentian would be able to turn this real danger into luck. He was still waiting for Qin Wentian to become the master weaponry expert to look down on Murin.

The first phase of the exam, approved by the Coalition of Nine Martial Academies, began. It evaluates the applicant's long line at the speed of fire. However, this had nothing to do with Qin Wentian, who was casually chatting with Luo Huan and Mountain.

Above the air, far from the examination site, there was an enormous demonic beast hovering in the air. The animal looks similar to a lion but has wings growing on its back. From the pressure it emitted, it was a terrifying level 8 demon beast — griffin sea lion. Standing on top of the griffin were two silhouettes — Mustang and an old man.

"Teacher, when Janus approved the Royal Academy's proposal, why don't you mind?" Mustang asked, his face showing a lack of understanding.

"Mustang, do you consider the young man highly?" Smiling, the old man replied with another question.

“Yes.I will not hide anything from my esteemed teacher.I really like the character of this young man. If I don't do it, then when they propose this 'training exercise', I won't invite my esteemed teacher to help me stop this training expedition to the Dark Forest. "

"Since you held him in high regard, why don't you prevent him from joining the expedition?" The old man smiled as he looked at the vast area where the applicants were currently undergoing the examination. “There really is some good seeding among these applicants. I look forward to the training expedition. "

Mustang smiled bitterly as he recited in his heart, “Little boy, I've tried. I can only wish him good luck. "

"Grandfather, are you looking for me?" At this moment, a white-colored demon stork flew into the sky, and standing on top of the demon stork, was actually the number one beauty of the Chu Country – Mo Qingcheng.

"good. This time, I want you to follow the Mustang and take a walk in the Dark Forest. It's no use to you to stay home. ”The old man smiled kindly then turned his gaze towards the Mustang. “Mustang, for a while I will lend you this level 8 griffin. Help me by taking care of Qingcheng. ”

Mustangs freeze. He did not fully understand the meaning behind the actions of his esteemed teacher. After a while, he slightly nodded his head towards Mo Qingcheng, but he was a bit surprised. Even someone at her level would still be affected by Mo Qingcheng's beauty. Regarding his teacher's esteemed grandson, he didn't interact with him often, but even so, the Mustang knew enough that the ten prodigies in the Royal Capital all fought over him. But now, his esteemed teacher really wanted him to act as a bodyguard for his precious grandson? For a walk in the Dark Forest? He couldn't help but wonder. Is there any specific purpose behind this action?
