Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"They slaughtered their entire clan just to practice their skills?"

"This list of villains is truly full of ruthless individuals!"

After learning about Shen Tianzhong's past experiences, Lu Feng felt not only shocked but also somewhat wary.

After all, even a ruthless character as strong as Shen Tianzhong is only ranked third on the list of villains, and above him are two even more powerful beings!

Lu Feng was well aware of his own limitations in this regard.

With his current strength and cultivation level, he can still protect himself against Shen Tianzhong, but if he encounters the top two masters on the villain list, he will most likely die!

Central square, above the high platform

"Please calm down, everyone, and listen to what I have to say!"

Yin Baili leaped onto the platform again, then glanced around at the chaotic crowd. "Although a villain from the Evil List caused trouble earlier, he fled in fear after being intimidated by me and another academy elder. So please do not worry."

"The preliminary examination for Falling Star Academy will continue!"

Yin Baili's tone remained calm and composed, as if he had not actually fought with Shen Tian, ​​and that it was just a minor accident.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers, who had been in chaos and scattering in all directions, gradually calmed down and looked at Yin Baili on the platform, while whispering among themselves.

"Look, it seems that 'Shen Tianzhong, the Mad Blade of Judgment', has really disappeared?!"

"Fleeing without a fight? Could it be that this person was truly frightened away by Elder Yin of Falling Star Academy...."

"It's highly likely! Not only Elder Yin, but also the lady Liu who just wielded the crimson spear is one of the elders of Falling Star Academy. No matter how strong Shen Tianzhong is, he absolutely cannot withstand the combined strength of two elders. It's normal for him to be afraid and run away!"

"Damn it! So that guy surnamed Shen ran away a long time ago, what am I afraid of now!"

In the central square, a great deal of discussion arose, and soon the previous liveliness was restored, and the number of onlookers not only did not decrease but increased!

After all, humans are naturally inclined to enjoy watching a spectacle; it's a biological instinct that's largely unchangeable.

"By the way, Brother Lu, I remember you didn't participate in the preliminary round either, did you?"

Upon hearing Yin Baili's announcement, Wang Wu also turned around and looked at Lu Feng beside him.

Although Lu Feng's time to clear the Hell Universe Diagram was as long as six seconds, which was not as long as that of Yun Haoxuan and Lu Xiaoxiang, who were from prominent families, and he was not a prodigy like Wu Yunran who possessed an innate spiritual body, Lu Feng's performance was not bad compared to the other applicants.

Therefore, in Wang Wu's opinion, Lu Feng would most likely pass the preliminary test, at most his physical aptitude and talent would be a little lacking.

"That is exactly what I was thinking."

In response to Wang Wu's reminder, Lu Feng nodded and then leaped to the front of the Transformation Stone.

He originally wanted to finish the preliminary test as soon as possible and then enter the final round of the retest, but Shen Tianzhong suddenly appeared halfway through, which directly disrupted Lu Feng's plan.

"Strange, why does this kid's aura seem somewhat familiar..."

Looking at Lu Feng's back not far away, Old Song's nose suddenly twitched slightly, and then he looked surprised, as if he had noticed something.

"Mr. Song, what's wrong?"

Noticing the unusual behavior of Old Master Song beside her, Lu Xiaoxiang turned around, a look of confusion on her pretty face.

"Hmm, it's nothing, this old servant thanks you for your concern, young lady..."

Coming to his senses again, Old Song grinned somewhat awkwardly, indicating that he was alright.

"It must just be my imagination..."

His gaze returned to Lu Feng not far away, and Old Song's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were thinking about something. "It seems I really am getting old; my mind and nose aren't as sharp as they used to be. I can actually sense demonic energy on a human martial artist..."

"Not to mention that Yuan Power and Demon Power are two different forces, even a half-demon body, a hybrid of a human and a demon beast, would hardly produce such a rich aura of demon power unless its bloodline is extremely pure. Let alone a mere nobody..."

Central Square, in front of the Transformation Stone

"Another blond kid?"

"This child is so young; he's probably just a country bumpkin who's recently embarked on the path of martial arts immortality. His cultivation level is unlikely to be very high, at most only at the fifth or sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm!"

"I bet ten taels of silver that this kid won't even pass the first test of the Transformation Stone!"

"Hahahaha! Brother, you're being too unfair. I'll add another ten taels of silver. I bet this kid won't make it past the second level. After all, the second level, the Spirit Bone Pillar, tests a martial artist's innate talent and is undoubtedly more difficult."

"What's the point of gambling? If we're going to gamble, let's bet big! If this kid passes the preliminary test, I'll eat shit upside down, and it'll be runny shit!"

Lu Feng stood quietly, while the crowd of onlookers all turned their attention to him. However, most of them were just there to watch the spectacle, and there were quite a few contemptuous glances. Laughter and jeers filled the air.

After all, Lu Feng looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his demeanor and clothing were very ordinary, like an unremarkable country boy, not a member of a prominent family like Yun Haoxuan or Lu Xiaoxiang.

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, Lu Feng is unlikely to pass the preliminary test, and his chances of advancing to the final round of the retest are less than 10%!

Swish!

Ignoring the jeers of the crowd around him, Lu Feng gently extended his right palm and slowly pressed it into the center of the Transformation Stone.

"Lu Feng, eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, age seventeen!"

With a flash of pure white light, a line of clear characters slowly appeared on the Transformation Stone, like a super bomb, instantly detonating the entire scene and attracting countless shocked gazes.

"Eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm! And this child is only seventeen years old?!"

"How... is this possible?!"

"What the hell? Am I seeing things? This can't be real, I must be dreaming!"

"At the tender age of seventeen, his cultivation has already reached the eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm. Even Yun Haoxuan and Lu Xiaoxiang, along with other scions of powerful families, are no match for him. Just who is this young man...!"

"I never expected this kid's strength and cultivation to be so formidable. Let alone the preliminary assessment, he could probably pass the final round with his eyes closed!"

Upon seeing Lu Feng reveal his true cultivation level, a chorus of exclamations erupted throughout the central square, like a tidal wave that lingered for a long time. At this moment, the gazes of the crowd towards the former man were filled with envy and apprehension, no longer showing the previous contempt and mockery.

As for the onlookers who had bet that Lu Feng's cultivation level was too low to pass the preliminary test, they all lowered their heads, looking embarrassed, as if they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

"Oh right, I remember a guy just saying he was going to eat shit while standing upside down, and not the dry kind?"

In the crowd, someone suddenly mentioned it, and the next moment everyone's eyes turned to a bald, burly man with a fierce face in the corner, as if they wanted to witness him fulfill his vow.

"Damn it! Who said that?! Which bastard dares to slander me? I'll twist his head off right here and now!"

Seeing everyone looking at him, the bald, burly man panicked for a moment, then pointed at Lu Feng not far away, "Only you bunch of lackeys are blind to recognize a great man. I've long seen that this Lu Feng is a dragon among men, a prodigy!"

"With this person's talent and strength, let alone applying to Falling Star Academy, even taking on the position of an elder of Falling Star Academy in the future would be a piece of cake!"

Seemingly to avoid the tragedy of eating excrement while standing upside down, the bald, burly man tried his best to distance himself from the situation while fawning over Lu Feng as if the latter were his biological father, and at the same time changed his previous contemptuous attitude.

"Eighth level of pulse opening realm?"

"This child's cultivation level is incredibly profound...!"

From the high platform, seeing Lu Feng's meteoric rise to fame, Yin Baili also cast a surprised glance, his aged face now filled with intense curiosity.

After all, there aren't many promising young talents among this year's admissions assessment. Apart from Yun Haoxuan, Lu Xiaoxiang, and Wu Yunran, there are only a handful left, no more than a few dozen.

The Lu Feng before them not only surpassed Yun Haoxuan and the others in cultivation and strength, but was also only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even among the students of Falling Star Academy, he was extremely rare and could be called a once-in-a-century genius!
