Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 275 Qiankun Academy

"Qiankun Academy has always selected winners for admission to the academy through one-on-one competitions. This year, the rules of the entrance examination will be changed from a one-on-one competition to a free-for-all competition. The final five disciples will be granted special status and directly enter the inner courtyard. Now, please enter the competition venue!"

In the outer square of Qiankun Academy, more than a hundred young men and women who had passed the previous trial and assessment and came here slowly walked into the square. Most of them did not know each other. After hearing the rules of the competition, they looked at each other and were wary of everyone around them.

"Junior Brother Lin Xi, why don't we get some helpers?"

The man called Lin Xi looked around. Everyone had a different expression, but they were all very wary of the others. He then said, "Don't forget that our goal isn't just to enter the academy. Only five people can enter the core inner courtyard at this point. We only have three of us now. If we continue to recruit others for cooperation, we'll inevitably attract envy!"

"Junior brother, are you really planning to bring her into the inner courtyard?"

Lin Xi glanced at Jingshu, who was hugging him with her arms and trembling, and then looked at the hundreds of impressive energy fluctuations in the field. Finally, he shook his head and was not going to give up on Jingshu.

"Brother Lin Chao! I will just hide behind you and won't cause any trouble for you!"

Looking at Jingshu's big, misty eyes, Lin Chao was helpless with her. After all, his junior brother liked such a lovely girl.

"The entrance exam will last for one stick of incense. If there are more than five students still standing on the field after one stick of incense, admission to the inner courtyard will be cancelled. The exam begins now!"

After the old man on the stage finished speaking, he lit a stick of incense, and with a flick of his finger, he inserted it steadily into the incense burner!

But after the exam started, the square was unusually quiet, and no one dared to be the first to take action. Until a stronger person suddenly attacked and kicked several people around him out of the square in an instant, the others felt a sense of crisis and started fighting with those who posed a threat to them.

Only Jingshu and the other two were on the same side, so because there were more people, no one wanted to fight with them.

But as half an incense stick of time passed, more than half of the students on the field were eliminated, and as they fought, they naturally formed groups of three or five and stood together.

As the individual battle gradually evolved into a team battle, the three were forced to join in. With Jingshu, a little girl with no fighting ability, holding them back, the two brothers Lin Chao and Lin Xi were unable to let go and fight with the others with all their strength. They could only hold their ground and fight whoever attacked!

Seeing the number of people on the field decreasing rapidly like dumplings, the intensity of the battle was no longer as fierce as the melee at the beginning, and no one would easily take the initiative to attack others.

"Boss! The incense is almost burnt out. How about we pick the weak one first?"

After hearing what the person behind him said, the leader looked over there and saw that the team that was the weakest in terms of height had managed to survive until now and had not been kicked off the stage. He also found that there were more than one team that wanted to fight with them. Then they looked at each other, and then attacked at the same time in tacit understanding.

Just when Lin Xi wanted to step forward to fight, he was stopped by Lin Chao. These useless senior brothers were enough to deal with him!

"Spiritual-level advanced martial arts: Chaotian stick technique!"

As the eldest brother's tall figure walked forward with a long stick in hand, afterimages and sparks from the collision of weapons flew in the sky.

The scene of a man fighting against seven opponents alone made the people outside the venue excited. Even those who were kicked off the stage and lost their admission qualifications could not help but marvel at the existence of such a person. They failed to be successfully shortlisted, which meant that they were indeed not as skilled as him!

After Lin Chao defeated his opponent, the winners and losers of several other battles were decided one after another. The rest of the people have been fighting alone until now, which shows that their strength is extraordinary!

"Time is almost up, there are only eight people left on the field!"

Just as the last five people looked at each other, gathered together, and wanted to join forces to kick Jingshu and the other two out of the field, a reminder sounded from the stage.

"Junior Brother! The five of them are all quite strong. If we join forces, we can still fight. But if..."

"I understand what you mean. Even if she steps down now, she will be able to enter the outer courtyard of Qiankun Academy!" After Lin Xi finished speaking, he looked at Jingshu who was holding his arm, then shook his arm, and a gentle force in his palm pushed her body out of the field.

But just as Jingshu was about to fall out of the square, suddenly a long sword fell on the edge of the field behind her, blocking her from being eliminated!

Then a man landed beside her, put his arm around Jingshu's slender waist, and protected her in his arms. Then he clenched his palm slightly, and the long sword left the ground by itself and was sucked into his hand!

"Boy! How dare you attack Shu'er? You're looking for death!"

As soon as Ye Qi finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lin Chao and Lin Xi, two fellow apprentice brothers, and the long sword in his hand pierced straight into the air!

Seeing this, Lin Chao swung his long stick suddenly and hit Ye Qi on the head.

But just as the long stick passed by, he found that it was actually just an afterimage, and then Ye Qi's real body appeared behind Lin Xi.

Knowing that this was just the entrance examination for Qiankun Academy, he did not actually kill him. He retracted the Yixi Sword and was about to slap him on the shoulder with his palm.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was no mediocre person. The moment he spotted his figure, he turned around and swung out a series of sword flowers, forcing Ye Qi to temporarily avoid the attack.

"Spiritual level primary martial arts: Golden Platform Demon Suppression Palm!"

As Ye Qi's attack failed, he changed his hand seals while retreating, and a faint golden light flashed in the palm of his hand. Then he rushed forward without any fancy moves, and hit the long sword in Lin Xi's hand that was blocking his chest with one palm.

But the long sword made of ordinary and even inferior material only lasted for a moment before it was shattered by Ye Qi's palm on the chest.

Lin Xi, who flew backwards, finally managed to steady himself with the help of Lin Chao. His chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily. He took the blow without spitting blood, which was enough to show that he was quite strong!

The elders and deacons of the academy on the stage watched the scene below and whispered to each other, "This kid joined the battle at the last moment and got quite an advantage. Logically, he shouldn't be eligible to enroll!"

"I think this guy is pretty good. If he hadn't shown mercy and retracted his sword just now, the outcome would have been decided in one move. Besides, everyone is banding together in groups, so it would be difficult for him to break through the encirclement on his own!"

"Well! I have fought with that kid before, but I didn't expect that his strength has improved so rapidly in just a few months!" The speaker was the deacon who had fought with Ye Qi at the foot of the rain mountain.

At this moment, on the square, Ye Qiluo returned to Jingshu's side, rubbing his palms lightly, as if he was recalling something.

Lin Xi, who was ambushed and at a disadvantage, was so angry that she dropped the sword in her hand. Then a silver spear with a crackling sound of lightning appeared in her hand. As she pulled off her hairband, her black hair fell like a waterfall, fluttering automatically without wind!

"No wonder the palm strike was so soft, it turned out to be a woman!"
