Xika and Xingli looked at each other in silence to the point of making many people even more curious about their relationship.

"Well, I guess we've all seen little friend Xing's ability and you'll regret not accepting it, right?"

Elder Bai was the first to break the silence. After Elder Bai spoke, many people who had previously been stunned by Xika and Xingli's fight came to a realization. They returned to discussing with excitement until Xika could hear some of them.

"The young man can fight in balance with our Goddess of War. Wasn't the fight with Han Shan just a joke?"

"Who is this Xika? He can defeat Han Shan who came from the Burning Abyss Clan easily and is on par with our War Goddess? From what great power was he really? Did he hide his identity?"

"Did you see the look of those two? There must be something going on between them. It seems they've met before. Do you think they're lovers?"

The last sentence was successful in making the man who said it beaten many people.

Xingli was basically an ice goddess who had become the idol of many people. His devotees of course hoped that Xingli would not end up with another man other than themselves. But they realized that it was impossible, so they hoped that Xingli remained alone until forever. At least it's better than him being with other men.

Hong Qian and the yellow-robed Elder that Elder Bai stared at simply nodded without being able to say much. If the yellow-robed Elder did not really care whether Xika was accepted or not, but it was different with Hong Qian. Earlier he had said clearly that he would not regret rejecting a hundred Xika.

The ability of Xika that he showed just now already showed how talented Xika was. It was the same as slapping her face hard. But he couldn't do anything with Elder Bai here. He could only hold back his anger and repay it to Xika someday.

Elder Bai smiled seeing the reaction of Hong Qian and the other elder. Then he looked at the crowd of spectators.

"But after all we have to be fair. If little friend Xing can join forces by defeating Han Shan who is one of the three strongest disciples, then you are also welcome to join if you succeed in defeating the other two strongest disciples. Didn't we?" elder Bai asked Hong Qian and the old man next to him who again could only be replied with a nod.

But even though Elder Bai had spoken like that, no one dared to come forward at the moment. The ability that Xika showed was beyond common sense. Although they were eager to join the academy, they were also aware that none of them had the ability equivalent to Xika.

Looking at the crowd who were just silent while sighing miserably, Elder Bai was about to turn away. But a voice stopped his leg.

"Heh. I think it's time we move forward."

A young man in a striking red blue outfit came forward along with another young man wearing an inconspicuous black outfit.

Looking at the two young men who stepped forward, Xika smiled. But he did not realize that his smile did not escape Elder Bai. From a single glance Elder Bai could see that Xika must be related to the two young men.

But he didn't say anything. He just smiled as he waved his hand. Two figures jumped out from behind the group of new disciples. They were the other two strongest disciples. Di Feng of the Di Clan, and Lan Mu of the Divine Array Clan, a distant relative of Shu Mang.

Huo Bing only smiled looking at the two figures. He pushed Heiliao then said,

"You go first."

".........."

Heiliao advanced without speaking. After saluting his opponent, Heiliao instantly disappeared and reappeared with a claw-shaped qi that was not far from his opponent's throat.

"!!!"

"I-I lost......"

His opponent immediately fell down and it took him a while to be able to breathe properly even though Heiliao was no longer pointing at his claws. While Heiliao went and stood next to Xika.

Before the audience could comment, the other young man had advanced.

"Heh. Looks like it's my turn now. Take a good look at how I won." Huo Bing said with a smug smile on his face.

His opponent, who was from the Divine Array Clan was offended by Huo Bing's words as if he would definitely lose.

"Main fire with experts? You kidding?" Huo Bing opened his palm welcoming the dozens of fireballs that came. Then before one of the fireballs hit him, he closed his hand and all the fireballs exploded on the spot.

"It's....."

Many onlookers could not believe the scene before their eyes. Even the three elders watching also widened their eyes. But Huo Bing was not finished yet.

He stepped forward and each step he took made his opponent feel even heavier, as if a heavy weight was being put on his back.

Taps!

Taps!

Taps!

After three steps, Lan Mu admitted defeat. Sweat pours through his head. He was completely defeated decisively in front of Huo Bing. He could barely speak. If Huo Bing stepped foot quickly and reached the fourth step, then he might have already fallen on the floor.

"God."

From start to finish, Huo Bing had never lost her smile. He did not take this entrance test seriously at all. Without saying much, he stepped beside Xika. But everyone could see the arrogant look in his eyes that was no less, even more than a few geniuses.

"Anyone else want to try?" elder Bai asked even though he already knew no one would come forward anymore.

He then turned his body towards Xika, Huo Bing, and Heiliao, after waiting for a while if anyone would try again. In his hand, there are three identity cards.

Xika and the others received an identity card from Elder Bai. After which Elder Hong handed over the uniform reluctantly.

"Tomorrow, come to the main page to receive further instructions." After saying that Elder Bai turned around to leave with the other two elders. Elder Bai still gave his smile to the three of Xika, but somehow his smile felt different even though Xika did not know what was different.

After the elders left, the atmosphere was still silent. No one dared to speak up, especially in the presence of the three new strongest disciples who possessed extraordinary abilities.

"We're accepted. Then what now?" huo Bing asked.

"Eitherway. Does the academy not provide a residence for its students?" XIKA looked at Xingli.

Xingli just stared back at Xika. Then he directed his gaze at Han Shan who was now being treated by the health officer from the academy. And understand Xika that Xingli was curious as to why he was fighting Han Shan. But Xika was half annoyed, instead of answering her question, Xingli instead asked back.

"Him? I fought him to get into the academy. Fortunately you helped me, if you don't know what happened" Xika said slightly teasing Xingli. But the girl was just silent without any expression as usual.

"Well, I think we'll find a place to stay for now. Any suggestions of places?"

Xingli shook his head slowly, but that alone was enough to make a scene for many people. The reason, Xingli never spoke nor did he ever give a reply to anyone but the elders. That's very rare too.

His attitude is by breaking the hearts of many men who pursue him. But right now, in front of everyone Xingli was actually replying to Xika? More and more people are curious about Xika's identity. Why did Xingli reply to Xika's words? He often ignored many elders.

What did Xika do until Xingli replied to her words? Why are they chatting so casually? Though many men whose guts instantly shrieked after getting an icy piercing gaze from Xingli.

"Then I'll go first." Xika walked away while waving her hand that was replied with a nod by Xingli. After that he embraced Heiliao and Huo Bing while exiting the academy.

But he did not know that many people were looking at him with various views. Just now, Xingli replied to Xika's words again. Twice. Xingli replied to Xika's words twice. There were jealous, envious gazes, there were also curious about Xika's identity.

Even so no one was brave enough to follow Xika away because they all came from ordinary families that did not have strong supporters. It was different with the students of the academy that Xika and the others had just defeated. Each of them had a strong backer who immediately sent out a spy after knowing that the three had unusual abilities.

But right now, the spies that followed Xika did not come from three powers, but rather four. Because the academy was also curious about Xika's identity.
