When Tian heard about this the next day, he was completely amazed with the extent of growth of the Sect's capabilities and the six brothers' management. But on the other hand, his hatred towards Cheng Clan increased even more, it became a blood grudge to him.
The Entrance Examination for the Academies was about to begin in a few days, head master buck wing has already enrolled his name for the examinations. There was no minimum requirement for entering the examination, as they were sure that most of them would drop off like dead leaves once the test begins. This was also a good way for the academies to find one's who have great potential to grow.
The tests are always random each year, no one knows what the tests are going to be. This year, the test was being conducted in one of the top cities in the world, The Twilight City. The journey from Huang city to Twilight city would take around one day.
No artifacts, tools or pills and potions were allowed for the test, as they wanted to make sure that everyone stands on the same level during the test, irrespective of their back grounds. This point alone shows that the Academies want to select true geniuses that can soar high even without any help.
When Heng Fu heard that Tian was participating in the entrance test for the Academies, he immediately left Huang City after intimating the six brothers that he will be gone for a few days.
Tian received the travel information to Twilight city from Head Master Buck Wing. The next day, Tian reassured Grandma Wang that he'll be safe and set off to the boarding point. A flying shuttle that was as large as a football field appeared. Tian boarded it along with others.
The Flying Shuttles were one of the largest transport systems of this world. These look like flying castles and every single facility was provided inside it. For those that come from poor background, this was a sight worth seeing.
There were many people already inside the shuttle, they were looking at those from Huang city with disdain. Tian even felt hostility from those people. It was every man for himself, to overcome the pressure from the entrance test, they started to form groups among themselves.
Many people started knocking Tian's door, asking him to join their group. Tian was getting frustrated with all these guys disturbing him. Once again someone knocked on his door, he took his pillow in his hands and walked towards the door like a sloth.
"Treat this as your lucky day, if you were to join us we will help you clear the test and you may even get the chance to enter the top 20 colleges. Don't waste our time and just agree to it", the young man was wearing fashionable clothes and some of the most costly gadgets on himself. He has heard of Tian as he had topped his college ranking battles, he thought it would be a good deal to have a pawn at his disposal.
Tian was holding his pillow under his arms, he was fed up with all these people, "Stop annoying me and get the hell out, you are disturbing my precious sleep!", he slammed the door and took off directly to sleep. This time, he made sure to use ear plugs, no matter who calls him he wouldn't wake up again.
Time went on as Tian slept ultra-comfortably in his bed, without caring about anything.
One of the Shuttle's crew member tried to open the door to Tian's room, when he realized that it was locked, he inserted the master key and unlocked it. The moment he saw someone was lying on the bed, he was surprised and went ahead to wake him up.
"Hey kid! Who are you? Hey! Wake up!", the crew member kept shaking Tian and tried to wake him up. Tian finally woke up, when he saw the crew member in his room he immediately asked in surprise, "What are you doing in my room? How the hell did you get in?"
"What do you mean your room? Ar- Are you one of those kids who are attending the Entrance Test?!!!", the crew member's face instantly went pale. Tian didn't understand what was happening, "Yes, is there any problem with that?"
"You dumb idiot! How could you be sleeping inside your room? We have already dropped off all the attendees 4 hours ago and are returning to the camp!", Tian was shocked to hear that he was left behind. He immediately rushed outside the room.
"Hey Kid, where are you going!!!", he chased after tian to the outside of shuttle. Tian stepped outside the shuttle and looked at the vast expanse of forest all around him, he wasn't sure which direction he should head out to.
"In which direction is the Twilight city?", Tian looked back towards the crew member and asked in a solemn tone.
"It's toward the North-West. But listen to me kid! You won't be able to make it in time and also, this forest has many dangerously powerful beasts. Even we dare not stop anywhere in the forest, listen to me and come bac-...."
The crew member was looking towards the forest and talking to Tian, by the time he turned back, Tian had completely vanished from that place, "Captain...!!!!!!"
Down on the forest floor, Tian has safely landed there by blasting a energy wave at the ground and pushing himself up just when he was about to hit the ground. He looked towards the North-West and started dashing towards the twilight city.
The Entrance Test will start on tomorrow afternoon, Tian needs to travel back to Twilight city in one day. On his way, Tian has faced many Earth Realm beasts and was able to defeat them easily.
After travelling for a few hours, Tian came across a wild baby pig beast, although it was a baby it's powers were comparable to that of a primary earth realm beast. It started attacking Tian the moment it saw him, Tian didn't want to waste his time and kicked the pig by materializing his spiritual energy.
The pig went flying into the air like a rocket, off into some part of the forest. As it was evening, Tian decided to take a rest for the night and travel again in the morning. He made a campfire and started roasting the beef jerky he had with him, just then he heard some loud noise from the forest. Something was coming in his direction.
Tian quickly got alerted and got ready to face off against the unknown danger coming towards him. When the noises got close, he saw a huge pig beast with tusks as large as few meters and thick like a log. It was the parent of the baby pig beast he kicked away and it was something in Advanced Sky Realm!
Tian immediately started retreating, but he was not able to compare to its speed. He gritted his teeth and took out low grade spirit bombs he made and threw them at the incoming beast.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Loud blasting sounds echoed through the forest, Tian used the Titan shield to protect himself but it was barely able to withstand the blast force. He had to keep injecting his spiritual energy into it.
The smoke began to clear, Tian was expecting this to be the end of battle. But to his surprise, the pig beast was not injured at all, the spirit bombs just gave slight scratch marks on its thick skin surface.
The pig beast immediately gathered its spirit energy into its mouth, Tian felt a chill down his spine, and things are definitely not going the right way. The pig beast launched the energy beam with a wide radius towards Tian. He might not be able to escape today.
pewwwwww....
The Energy beam attack disintegrated everything, the trees the ground even rocks, to a length of 300 meters. There was no sign of Tian anywhere.
