2581 Side Story 85: His

Ling Xiao Academy was the top academy in the God Residence Realm, but countless talents rushed over from all directions every year, hoping to cross that doorstep and become a student of the academy.

As the only stronghold for Ling Xiao Academy’s assessment, Fangzhou City was bustling with people all year round.

Early in the morning, a long queue had already formed somewhere in the city.

Elder Hua Feng from the peak sat behind the table and was long used to this scene. He methodically tested these young men and women who rushed over from all over.

“21 years old, stage-seven warrior, eliminated.” He glanced at the test results and shook his head.

The young man standing in front of him was stunned. Then, his face turned red and white.

He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable regret and disappointment.

He struggled for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Elder, I’ll be able to break through to become a stage-eight warrior very soon. Can you give me a chance?”

Elder Hua Feng from the peak smiled, but his tone was very determined. “Come back when you break through then.”

Once they heard this, the crowd immediately understood that there was no hope at all.

That young man clenched his teeth and still bowed in the end as he turned to leave, looking rather defeated.

When the people who were still queuing behind saw this scene, they were speechless.

“A 21-year-old stage-seven warrior! He’s quite talented, yet he was eliminated just like that?”

“As expected of Ling Xiao Academy. Its standards are really strict…”

“There’s quite a big difference between geniuses. Those who can enter Ling Xiao Academy naturally have to be the top few! I heard that this place is recruiting students every day, but there might not be many candidates in a month…”

Elder Hua Feng didn’t even look up. “Next.”

The young man behind hurriedly went forward.

…

Time slowly trickled past. It was only when the golden sun sank to the west and the sky gradually darkened that there were fewer people standing around here.

The long queue in the day had almost ended.

After Elder Hua Feng finished testing the last one, it was finally quieter. He rubbed his aching shoulders and neck and leaned against the chair.

At this point, there were only 15 minutes left until his shift ended.

Elder Xi, who was in charge of the next shift, walked over from behind and glanced at him happily. “What, did you not meet any good seedlings today?”

Elder Hua Feng snorted lightly. “Isn’t this very normal?”

Those who dared to come here were more or less talented.

Those people might be rare talents in their own territory, but they might not be able to catch their eye.

What Ling Xiao Academy didn’t lack the most was top talents.

The elders in the academy had always had high standards and wouldn’t easily take a fancy to anyone.

Elder Hua Feng clapped his hands and stood up. “Alright, since you’re already here, I’ll leave this to you.”

Elder Xi glanced at him in dissatisfaction.

But before he could reject, he suddenly heard a clear and melodious voice. “Elders, may I know if this is Ling Xiao Academy’s recruitment point?”

This voice was extremely good, like jade hitting each other. In an instant, it seemed to make the hot evening more refreshing.

Elder Wen Xi looked up.

Even Elder Hua Feng, who planned to leave in advance, half-turned around and took a look.

This glance caused the two elders to be slightly stunned.

Standing there were a young man and a young girl who looked to be no more than 17 or 18 years old.

As Ling Xiao Academy’s elders, they saw youngsters of such age the most. But at this moment, the two elders were still stunned when they saw the two people standing side by side. That was because these two people were really too good-looking.

That young girl was wearing a red outfit, and her thin waist was easily outlined by a black jade belt. Her black hair was simply tied up, revealing an extremely beautiful face.

Even though she still looked young, it wasn’t hard to see how beautiful she would be in the future.

She stood there with a smile, and it seemed to make everything in the surroundings lose its color.

No, this didn’t include the young man in snow-white clothes standing beside her.

He was extremely tall, and his five features were impeccable. There was a faint coldness in his eyes, making him look noble and indifferent.

When the two of them stood together, they were simply like a pair of beauties, causing one to only admire and envy them.

Even the experienced two elders couldn’t help but be amazed by their appearances.

The person talking was that young girl.

Her lips curled up. “Are we too late?”

The two elders glanced at each other.

Actually, under such circumstances, they would usually get them to go back first and wait for the next day. However, the two of them were really pretty, and when this lady smiled, it made people unable to reject her.

Anyway, there were only two of them, so the test should be over soon.

Elder Hua Feng waved his hands. “If you were any later, you’d have to wait for tomorrow. Come, who will go first?”

That young girl didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she looked at the young man beside her and smiled. “You first?”

That young man’s originally cold expression instantly softened. He glanced at that young girl and lightly shook his head. “You go first.”

That young girl didn’t seem surprised as she raised her brows and suddenly leaned in. She softly asked, “You can’t be testing your results just because you want to see mine, right?”

After interacting with him on the way, she realized that this young man was good at everything, but… he was too mysterious.

When he took action, it was as if he was suppressing something. Even in a life-and-death situation, he was still calm and composed.

She guessed that this person had purposely hidden his abilities.

Originally, she wanted to take this chance to test his foundation, but she didn’t expect—

She suddenly leaned in.

That young man didn’t seem to expect this, and he was dazed when he felt the warm and sweet aura.

At random, his thin scarlet lips curled up slightly. “Since you want it, I’ll go first.”

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

At the side, the two elders heard the duo’s conversation clearly and were speechless. Young children nowadays are too confident in themselves. He actually said that he can control the test results? Which person who comes here doesn’t try their best to show off all their talents? Although the two of them were born well, their tone is too arrogant. They might not even be able to get in, yet they are thinking of hiding their abilities?

They had seen too many young and frivolous people without much ability. At this moment, they couldn’t help but be disappointed. They felt that the two of them were just children from aristocratic families who had come out to cause trouble.

That young man had already placed his hand on the jade in charge of testing.

He circulated the force in his body and inserted it.

Whir!

A shocking fluctuation spread from the jade! Right on the heels of that, an extremely bright line of words slowly appeared under the extremely shocked gazes of the two elders!

Nineteen years old, demigod!

Demigod?

A demigod who isn’t even 20?!

Elder Hua Feng’s hands were trembling. “Wh-what’s your name?”

That young man lightly said, “Rong Xiu.”

He didn’t seem surprised by this outcome. He quickly retracted his hand and looked at the young girl standing behind.

That young girl tilted her head to take a look and was also shocked for a moment, but she quickly understood.

“As expected…” She muttered softly as she went forward and placed her hand on it.

She wrinkled her nose and lightly grunted, “I can’t compare to you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, another line of dazzling words appeared on it: Eighteen years old, advanced stage-nine warrior!

This indeed couldn’t be compared to that young man, but she was definitely considered outstanding in Ling Xiao Academy!

Elder Wen Xi widened his eyes. “Y-your name—”

That young girl let out a soft ‘Ah.’

It doesn’t seem appropriate to use my original name.

Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled. “My name is Yue. As for my last name…”

She stretched out her hand and pointed her slender and fair finger at the young man at the side, smiling with ill intentions. “Rong. The same Rong.”
