The small incident that occurred outside the city caused all the various factions and rogue cultivators to discuss curiously.

Even the older generation members of the various powers didn't seem to know much about Ye Xinghan, and it was only limited to the period of time that the former was in Black Lake City.

Everyone's conclusion was about the same.

Ye Xinghan was a monster, but he was also a dead man.

If Ye Xinghan was still alive, the Ye Clan definitely wouldn't be reduced to the bottom of the three great clans.

With regards to a dead person, even if his reputation was great in the past, after everyone discussed a little, they tossed it to the back of their minds and no longer cared about it. They continued to excitedly discuss today's Tianxuan Academy examination.

At the front of the crowd, Sun Juyuan did not say a word. It was unknown what he was thinking, but Qin Yang, who was at the side, also tactfully silently led the way.

"Ning Xue, the one that you have an engagement with, is a member of the Ye Clan?" Sun Juyuan suddenly called out to the young girl behind him, his voice slightly lowered.

Bai Ningxue nodded with a puzzled look on her face. Bai Zhentian added, "That's the only son of Ye Xinghan, but …" A tiger, a dog, and a son. It's nothing special. "

In fact, when he chose to marry the Ye family, he placed importance on Ye Jinghan. However, when he confirmed the news that the Ye family had died a few years ago, they gradually weakened, especially after finding out that Ye Hao had been unable to cultivate for many years.

It was precisely because of this that he agreed to let Ning Xue go to the Ye Clan to end the engagement.

Sun Juyuan's expression changed slightly. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, "Forget it, this is good as well."

"..."

After a moment of silence, they soon arrived at the center of Black Abyss City, led by Qin Yang.

In front of them, three gigantic platforms appeared.

The arena was extremely wide, and it was constructed from pieces of heavy bluestone. The entire platform was filled with the marks of swords and sabers, and waves of killing intent could be felt coming straight at one's face.

"Senior Sun, this is my Black Lake City's combat arena. All of Tianxuan Academy's years of examinations are taking place here." Qin Yang introduced the old man to a spectator stand.

After Sun Ji Yuan sat down at the head seat, the members of the Bai, Chen, and Ye Families also ascended their respective viewing platforms.

The empty space below was quickly filled with a black mass of people. Everyone had fiery expressions as they looked at the three battle platforms, their hearts filled with anticipation.

The Tianxuan Academy student recruitment test could be said to be the biggest event in Black Lake City.

That was because this was a wind vane. As long as one could be accepted as a disciple by the Tianxuan Academy, the status of their clan in Black Lake City would definitely skyrocket. In fact, even the appearance of the fourth clan would not be impossible.

Of course, although the chances of getting a placing was the highest among the three great clans and the City Lord Palace, but throughout the years, there had never been a lack of unexpected dark horses rushing out.

"..."

At this moment, after the Ye Family's viewing platform was seated, Tang Yun suddenly frowned and said, "Uncle Ye, what happened to your injury?"

Considering the level of her cultivation base, along the way, she could sense that Ye Yunfeng's physique was constantly on the decline. Considering the level of his Dao Soul cultivation base, unless he was seriously injured, he would not be in such a state.

Ye Yunfeng's expression darkened, he bitterly smiled and waved his hand, "It's fine if you don't say anything."

Tang Yun ignored him and lightly tapped her back with her jade finger. She frowned as she felt around, but as she did, the expression on her face gradually grew more and more unsightly.

Upon closer inspection, Tang Yun discovered that within Ye Yunfeng's body, there was an extremely sinister energy that seemed to have existed for a long time that continuously devoured his life force. As the two went on, the old man's body was currently in a precarious situation.

"Uncle Ye, who did this?"

Tang Yun's face was ice-cold. She could completely imagine how the sinister power within the old man must have caused him to suffer inhumane torture all these years.

After her rage, she couldn't help but become serious in the bottom of her heart. That sinister energy was too powerful. Even with her cultivation at the Burning Fire Realm, she still felt a wave of fear, and it was difficult to contend against it.

The person who left behind this surge of energy was definitely a terrifying expert that surpassed the Spirit Evolution realm and stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

If such an existence wanted to kill Ye Yunfeng, it could be said to be a piece of cake. However, for some reason, that person deliberately used such a sinister method to torture the old man to this day.

"Ah, Tang Yun, there's no need to trouble yourself." Ye Yunfeng seemed to have already known the result, as he consoled her.

"Uncle Ye, could it be …" Did you go there to look for the cold? " Suddenly, Tang Yun seemed to have thought of something as his expression changed.

Ye Yunfeng bitterly nodded and did not say anything more.

"Those bastards!"

Tang Yun's face was ashen, her chest heaved up and down. At the same time, she finally understood why the old man would provoke a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant to kill him.

However, even though she was angry, Tang Yun still felt a sense of helplessness. Unless there were other Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, or unless they used the life force of a Grade 4 Elixir, there was no way to heal the old man's injuries.

The current her was only at the middle stage of the Burning Fire Realm. Even breaking through to the Spirit Evolution realm was still far away, not to mention stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Furthermore, to request the help of an expert of this realm was not something she could do.

As for Tier 4 spiritual herbs, they were extremely precious. Even though she was from the Tianxuan Academy, she couldn't simply take them out.

"Uncle Ye, follow me to Tianxuan Academy. No matter what means you have, I will definitely treat you." Tang Yun gritted her teeth. No matter how difficult it was, she would never sit idly by and do nothing when she thought of Ye Xinghan.

Ye Yunfeng's expression slightly changed, he immediately shook his head and bitterly laughed, "Tang Yun, I know how rare a Grade 4 Elixir is, you don't have to worry, if it is possible …" I have a presumptuous request. "

"Please speak."

"I hope that you can make Hao'er … Bring me to Tianxuan Academy. " After a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Yunfeng looked at Tang Yun with incomparable hope.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Ye Yunfeng understood that Ye Tianlin would definitely be able to win one of the three places in Tianxuan Academy.

Once he entered the Tianxuan Academy, the Great Elder's faction would be afraid of Tang Yun and would remain dormant for the time being. However, once he leaves, the Ye family would definitely experience an earth-shattering turmoil.

The only person he couldn't stop worrying about was Ye Hao.

Thus, when he saw Tang Yun, he thought to himself, send Ye Hao out of the Ye Clan, away from this whirlpool that was about to happen.

Hearing that, Tang Yun's expression became awkward. She had already known about Ye Hao's identity and strength along the way.

In her opinion, although the former was so young, his strength was only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage. Compared to her father, he was simply too weak.

Furthermore, this level of strength had yet to even reach the minimum requirement to enter Tianxuan Academy.

If she were to reach the Spirit Evolution realm, perhaps she might be able to have some authority. However, right now, she was only at the Burning Fire Realm …

"Uncle Ye, I'll do my best." Tang Yun let out a faint sigh. She did not want the old man to be too disappointed, so she decided to use all of her contacts to go back and see if she could recruit Ye Hao into the academy.

As for Ye Yunfeng, he naturally could see that this was going to be difficult. Although he was prepared, he was still disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "No problem, just do your best."

At this time, three rays of light shot through the sky from another spectating platform and landed beside the three green stone platforms. Amidst the rumbling sounds, three shining stone pillars appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At the same time, Sun Juyuan's authoritative voice rang out, "This time, our Tianxuan Academy will accept students with a total of three spots. Those who participate must have bones under twenty, and have yet to open their Lifeline, so those who are at the ninth level of Body Tempering Stage are qualified to enter the stage."

"As for those three spirit pillars, they are called the Spirit Measuring Pillars. Those who go onstage only need to channel their Qi and blood into them. If they meet the qualifications, then the Spirit Measuring Pillar will have its own phenomena."

"Those who participate in the examination, once you ascend the stage, unless you lose, you are not allowed to leave again. Only those who persevere to the very end will be able to obtain a placing and become a student of the Tianxuan Academy."

"Now... The examination begins! "

As the voice of Sun Juyuan fell, the crowd abruptly erupted in cheers, causing the crowd to instantly clamor.

"Tsk tsk, it's really difficult to enter Tianxuan Academy. You even need to enter the ninth level of the Body Tempering realm to participate in the examination."

"Otherwise, why do you think that you can enter Tianxuan Academy just like a cat or dog?"

"..."

As the crowd discussed amongst themselves, all of them turned their gazes onto the young geniuses from the various major powers. None of them chose to be the first to ascend the platform.

According to the rules of the exam, if one entered the stage, unless they lost, they could not leave. That meant that the first person on the stage could face the following battles, and the one who suffered the most would be at a disadvantage.

Of course, this kind of assessment rule might seem unfair, but it was something that the Tianxuan Academy had intentionally set out to accomplish. This was because if one were to be undefeated under the continuous challenges from the crowd, he would undoubtedly be one of the top participants.

The students that Tianxuan Academy was willing to accept were precisely those who were favored by the heavens.

Seeing the gazes that were directed at him from below, Ye Tianlin calmly stood up from the spectator stand and nodded towards the Great Elder. His body floated to the side of the pillar and he gently pressed on it with his palm.

In an instant, a burst of resplendent light erupted from the circulating Spiritual Testing Pillar.

After the strange phenomenon of the Spirit Measuring Pillar appeared, Ye Tianlin calmly ascended the platform. His gaze swept across the crowd below, as though he was waiting for his opponent to ascend the stage.

"It's the Ye Family's Kirin!"

"It is said that he has long since reached the great perfection stage of Body Tempering. After accumulating so much energy, he has been waiting for today."

"..."

Looking at the reverence on the faces of the crowd below, Ye Tianlin's lips curled up in a proud smile. How could the others know that his current cultivation level had long broken the shackles of the human body?

It was because of this that he was the first to enter the stage without fear. Even a peak late stage Body Tempering cultivator would only be completely crushed in front of him.

After Ye Tianlin had ascended onto the stage, at the Chen family's location, a white-robed Chen Xuantong slowly walked out with a gentle smile on his face as he placed his palm against the second pillar.

At the same time, a resplendent light flashed as Chen Xuantong ascended the second bluestone platform, grinning at Ye Tianlin.

Seeing Chen Xuantong ascend the other stage, the crowd below sighed in disappointment, but they took it for granted.

After all, the two people on the stage were from the Ye Clan and the Chen Clan. If they were to fight against each other, a fierce battle would definitely break out. Regardless of who won, there would be one less terrifying opponent for the spectators.

However, it was clear that Ye Tianlin and Chen Xuantong were not idiots. They would never choose the most difficult opponent in such an important exam.

While everyone was sighing, behind Qin Yang, a skinny silent youth carrying a sword on his back disappeared like a ghost.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the third bluestone platform. He didn't even notice a single movement as the third spirit testing pillar exploded into brilliance.

"Young City Lord, Qin Chixiao!"

"Sigh, I originally thought that the third spot would be a bit easier. I didn't expect it to be Young Master Qin."

"How can we compete? The three people on the stage … I can't beat anyone! "

"..."

Looking at the young man on the third platform, whose entire body was emitting a sharp sword intent, the people who were planning to fight for the placings all sighed.

Ye Tianlin, Chen Xuantong, and Qin Chixiao.

These three people could be said to be the pinnacle existences among the younger generation in Black Lake City. For this year's three spots in the Tianxuan Academy, if these three were to make a move, it would be almost impossible for others to fight for them.

However, the temptation to enter Tianxuan Academy was simply too great.

Therefore, even though they knew how powerful the three of them were, they still went silent. Three ninth level Body Tempering cultivators went up onto the platform to challenge the three of them.

In an instant, the spirit energy on the stage began to boil as a powerful energy filled the air. However, the three Tempered Body 9th Layer cultivators were not even able to last ten breaths before they were easily blown off the stage, causing the crowd below the stage to be filled with shock.

One must know that this man was a 9th layer Body Tempering cultivator, just a hair away from the peak of the Body Tempering stage. However, in front of Ye Tianlin and the other two, how could he be so weak?

"Qin Yang, I didn't expect that although this Black Lake City of yours is located in a remote area, you do have a few pretty good seedlings." On the spectating platform, Sun Ji gazed at the three people on the stage and couldn't help but express his approval.

"Senior Sun is too kind."

Qin Yang chuckled as he glanced at Qin Chixiao, who was standing on the stage, with a gratified expression on his face.

Following the defeat of the three Tempered Body 9th Layer cultivators, the crowd grew even more shocked, and three more people went up on stage. Two of them were at the 9th Layer of Body Tempering, and one of them was at the peak of the peak of the Body Tempering stage.

The Tianxuan Academy entrance examination had left nearly ten thousand people in Black Yuan City empty.

Therefore, no one noticed that outside of Black Abyss City, a young man covered in blood, who looked like he had just crawled back from hell, was staggering as he entered the city.
