C3 What happened five years ago

Two hours later, Xiao Fan woke up from his cultivation, only to find out that his father was currently looking at him with a peculiar gaze;

Seeing that Xiao Fan had woken up, Xiao Yongzhan excitedly and curiously grabbed his hand and asked: "Fan'er, how do you feel with the two Astral Soul Imprint?"

"The feeling is very strong. Although I'm still at the first grade Astral Soul, I'm now even stronger than before. My Astral Soul Imprint is even higher ranked." Xiao Fan's tone was passionate, obviously full of confidence.

It had been five years, a whole five years. At this moment, he once again felt that feeling of possessing great strength. That feeling was extremely exciting.

Five years ago, he was an Astral Soul expert, but at that time, his Astral Soul Imprint was the Astral Soul Imprint of the Second Void Star. Furthermore, the Astral Source Body was only a tiny satellite, it was completely incomparable to the current main star body.

"How many stars are there?" Just now, he had already felt just how strong Xiao Fan's Astral Soul Imprint was. Furthermore, Xiao Fan's aura was very strong, and was only a little weaker than his.

So much so that Xiao Yongzhan could feel a kind of innate pressure from Xiao Fan's body, but it was actually a pressure of a higher level energy.

Currently, Xiao Yongzhan was a third stage Astral Soul, while the Astral Soul Imprint was a planet amongst the stars. However, in front of Xiao Fan's current Astral Soul Imprint, the source of energy was much weaker.

"The main star of the six heavenly bodies." Xiao Fan said.

"The main star of the Six Emptiness Realm Stars!" At this moment, Xiao Yongzhan took two steps back in excitement. He never thought that his son's star imprint would be so high level, actually reaching the Heavenly Star of the Six Void, and also the main star body.

"Father, let's get down to business. When Xiao Yueqian returned yesterday, it meant that the joint entrance examination held by the five big academies every three years was about to begin." After Xiao Yongzhan calmed down, Xiao Fan said.

Three years ago, it was also at this time that Xiao Yueqian relied on her outstanding cultivation talent to become the head of the five great academies of the Da Xia Empire, a student of the Royal College.

If nothing had happened to him five years ago, he would have long become a disciple of one of the Five Great Academies.

And now that Xiao Yueqian had returned, at this exact moment, it meant that the triennial student recruitment examination was about to begin again.

"That's right. I took the opportunity to return two days ago. The examiner should be arriving in the next two days. I'll inform the examiner of the exact time of the exam when it's time." Xiao Yongzhan nodded.

The Grand Xia Dynasty's five great academies held their triennial entrance examinations in recent days, and the examiners from the various major academies were almost there as well.

"Alright, I definitely won't let go of this opportunity. This is a good opportunity for me to gain the protection of the five academies." Xiao Fan nodded his head and said with his fists clenched tightly.

"Borrowing the power of the five great academies to seek protection, just what is going on here?" Xiao Yongzhan's expression immediately changed. He could tell how serious the meaning behind Xiao Fan's words were, it seemed like his son was hiding something from him.

It must be known that the Xiao family had a very strong power and position in the Sky City, and was considered one of the three great families of the Sky City along with the Xiao family and the Li family.

As a young master of a noble family, who in the Sky City would dare to offend him? Even if it was a crime against the law and discipline, the Mayor wouldn't dare to punish him carelessly.

But Xiao Fan had to seek the protection of the Five Great Academies. This showed how serious the situation was.

"Father, do you know what Xiao Yueqian did to me four days ago? If not for the fact that I was still a cripple and did not have any power to clash with her, her power would have been enough to destroy me twice! " Xiao Fan's expression was very calm. Even though he knew in his heart that Xiao Yueqian's power was very cruel, his anger was not shown on his face.

"What, Xiao Yueqian is so spicy, what is her goal?" Xiao Yongzhan was immediately furious. With a shake of his legs, a deep crater appeared on the ground.

He didn't think that Xiao Yueqian would behave like that, and wanted to destroy his son a second time.

This was not something that a father could tolerate.

"Hehe!" It was simply to test whether I was really stupid or not, to see if I had any cultivation. Everyone believed that I, Xiao Fan, was struck dumb by the Nine-colored Divine Lightning back then, and did not know that before I was struck by the lightning back then, I had already been assassinated by two groups of people.

"At that time, a nine-coloured lightning struck me from the heavens, instantly crippling my cultivation and making me almost die. After falling down a cliff and being found by the mayor, I was able to escape a calamity. For the past five years, I have been playing the fool to survive until now. Now that the five great academies are here, I should relax now." Xiao Fan closed his eyes, and recalled this scene as the anger and killing intent in his body surged.

Back then, if it wasn't for the nine-colored divine lightning striking him, he might have died that year.

It was precisely because of the Nine Colored Divine Thunder that his cultivation was crippled and he was on the verge of death, which was why those assassins didn't kill him.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan knew very well that the two groups of people who tried to assassinate him must have wanted him dead. Furthermore, because everyone thought that he had been struck by lightning, and lost all his cultivation, Xiao Fan pretended to be a fool in order to deceive the world.

Yesterday, Xiao Yueqian had gone to test him in front of him, causing Xiao Fan to suspect that either Xiao Yueqian or the Xiao family was involved in the assassination attempt that year.

"What? Assassinate? No wonder there were some injuries when we checked your body condition. So there was someone who tried to assassinate you. Who on earth wanted to kill my son? Could it be that the Xiao family also had a part?" Now, Xiao Yongzhan was completely enraged. He did not think that his son being struck by lightning would actually have so many secrets.

"I'm not too sure, but there's a possibility. However, what I'm concerned about is another wave of assassins, the six of them are Astral Soul cultivators, and they've been keeping an eye on me for the past five years. The power backing them is not something our Xiao family can afford to offend." Xiao Fan frowned, and said with a serious expression.

In his days of playing dumb, someone would sneak into his room every once in a while to check on him.

And because of this, he could start cultivating three years ago, but he didn't dare to. This was because there were six assassins in the first wave, and all of them were at least at the first level of Astral Soul.

To be able to send out five Astral Soul experts at once was definitely not something his Xiao Clan could deal with. He had been playing dumb for five years and now that the Five Great Academies' entrance exams had begun, it had given him an opportunity.

The second group of assassins were the ones he met while he was on the run. They were a lot weaker, and there was only one Astral Soul among them. Not long after they exchanged blows, he was struck by the nine-coloured lightning and his cultivation was crippled, on the verge of death.

"So that's how it is. Who in the world sent such a powerful assassin to kill you? That shouldn't be the case." Xiao Yongzhan shook his head. His Xiao Family had always been peaceful and did not offend any major powers, so where did they send six Astral Soul experts to kill his son?

"Father, let's talk about these matters in the future. Once I become a student of one of the Five Great Academies, this problem will be easy to solve." Seeing Xiao Yongzhan s anxious thoughts, Xiao Fan said.

"That's right. This is indeed a very good method. Let's go. It's already dawn. We should return." Xiao Yongzhan said: "Tonight, in the Clan Assembly, there are ten people who decided to take part in the exam. Out of the ten spots, father will leave one for you, remember to come."

"Don't worry, father. I will go. How can a son of such a level be absent?" Xiao Fan laughed, tonight's feast was destined to be a big event, he would not miss such a lively event.
