Not long after, it was time for the new student test. Ye Chen planned to stay in the cultivation room, as he doubted anyone would dare to challenge him in the trial field.
To his surprise, the independent cultivation rooms in Baiyun Intermediate Cultivation Academy were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow. The Heavenly-grade cultivation room had the most abundant elemental energy, but it came at an exorbitant price—5000 crystal elements per day.
Ye Chen swiped his crystal element card at the door and set it for ten days, spending a total of 50,000 crystal elements. As he entered the Heavenly-grade cultivation room, the dense elemental energy enveloped him. Ye Chen sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began absorbing the abundant elemental energy.
After ten days, Ye Chen opened his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face. Muttering to himself, "Three-star warrior."
He now had six elemental seas in his body, four of them filled with majestic elemental energy, and two showing signs of withering. This meant he could now compete with five-star warriors and face a five-tier beast like the Snowy Sky Frog without panicking.
Exiting the cultivation room, Ye Chen noticed the fearful gazes from the other students in the square. He understood that the news of him knocking out Feng Yun and the incident in the trial field had probably spread throughout the New Student Dormitory.
Tomorrow was the day of the new student test.
Returning to his residence, Wind Cang was not there. Ye Chen took a bath, changed into a new school uniform, and prepared to await tomorrow's new student test.
...
The new student test involved students fighting against phantom beasts.
Students could freely set the level of the phantom beast they faced.
The top scorer would get to choose a martial technique freely, while the second and third-place would receive fixed rewards. The test took place in the trial field.
Ye Chen headed to the trial field, which was already filled with students undergoing the test.
Ten phantom beast projection machines were placed on ten trial platforms, all simulating first-tier phantom beasts. The entire test seemed somewhat monotonous.
Feng Yun stepped onto the platform. He set a second-tier phantom beast, the Flying Scorpion.
Due to his intermediate strength talent, Feng Yun defeated the second-tier Flying Scorpion.
He continued to win three more rounds, all against second-tier phantom beasts. However, in the fifth round, due to insufficient elemental energy, he was defeated.
A graceful female student walked slowly toward the trial platform.
All eyes were on her because she was the most talented student among the newcomers—Liu Qianqian with the Ice Talen. She was now a one-star warrior.
Liu Qianqian set a first-tier phantom beast and won five consecutive rounds. Afterward, she chose to face a second-tier phantom beast, the Water Lynx.
The students below couldn't help but widen their eyes. Liu Qianqian, with her Ice Talent, unleashed a Yellow-tier intermediate martial art called Frost Spike.
The Water Lynx, a second-tier phantom beast, suffered under the formidable power of her martial art.
After Liu Qianqian's impressive victory, all the students below couldn't help but gasp. They couldn't believe how powerful she was.
Ye Chen thought that Liu Qianqian was indeed worthy of being a focus of the academy's cultivation.
Next, it was Ye Chen's turn.
He stepped onto the trial platform, attracting the attention of all the students.
Ye Chen, the remarkable figure of the entire academy, had defeated Wu Yun upon arrival, possessed dual-element talent, won ten consecutive matches in the trial field, and knocked out Feng Yun.
It was time for him to shine in the new student test.
