C175 I like the simple rules

When it was Ye Feng's turn, he looked at the liquid in doubt. Although he knew that the Azure Dragon School wouldn't do anything that would harm its students, Ye Feng had always been very cautious. Or rather, he had too many secrets and didn't dare to easily trust others.

But at this time, there was no time for Ye Feng to doubt. If he wanted to enter the Azure Dragon School, he must drink this liquid.

Ye Feng wasn't the only one who had a trace of doubt. Most of the cultivators hesitated before drinking the liquid.

The taste of the liquid was excellent. It was filled with spirit energy and tasted good. After drinking it, there was a lingering fragrance in his mouth and a fragrant smell filled the entire place.

Moreover, Ye Feng also discovered that as long as the liquid entered his mouth, regardless of whether you wanted to swallow it or not, the liquid would enter through the inner wall of his mouth, thus eliminating the possibility of cheating.

If there were cultivators who wanted to swallow the liquid and then find an opportunity to force it out of their bodies, that would be absolutely impossible.

Even a hundred thousand cultivators would take a very long time to drink. It was roughly half a day.

Ye Feng could feel the strong spirit energy within the liquid. He knew that although it couldn't compare to a peerless spiritual medicine, it was still comparable to a thousand year old spiritual medicine. So he immediately found a place to sit and meditate.

He wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy in the spiritual medicine.

And there were a lot of cultivators like Ye Feng, many of whom followed suit.

After sitting down, Ye Feng immediately entered a meditative state. It was not like other people, who needed to adjust their breath and emotions to begin meditating.

In front of 100,000 cultivators, Ye Feng had quickly entered this state, causing everyone to glance at him.

Ye Feng, who had entered the state of cultivation, did not notice that there was a pair of hostile eyes staring at him from the crowd.

Even the organizer couldn't help but look at Ye Feng. This little cultivator that didn't even look 20 wasn't very conspicuous among the 100,000 cultivators, but what was different from other cultivators was that Ye Feng was the first one who was able to absorb the liquid and take it for himself.

At least two-thirds of the cultivators were not meditating; it was obvious that they were not used to this environment and could not enter it.

Looking at the cultivators who were meditating to absorb the medicinal energy, their eyes were filled with envy.

Although everyone here was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or above, the speed of their cultivation would determine a cultivator's future accomplishments. If one wanted to become an expert above tens of thousands, then one must not lose in terms of speed.

At the very least, when any major power discovers that their own disciples possess a certain level of aptitude, they will try their best to nurture them. Therefore, as long as they possess a certain level of talent, they will be favored by the sect, and they will consume more resources than others in terms of cultivation and skills.

Therefore, it was not surprising for there to be more than five thousand cultivators with aurine stage in the Azure Dragon School's recruitment assessment this time.

These cultivators were the favored children of the great sects and would become the pillars of the sects in the future. However, because the Azure Dragon School was recruiting students this time, a lot of them would fall.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng slowly woke up. He raised his head and looked around. The main examiner had already left. After experiencing the qualification test, the main examiner had left.

Ye Feng was very surprised, could it be that this was the end, and he didn't see anyone being kicked out because of their age.

If it was said that no one among the 100,000 cultivators had cheated on their age, Ye Feng would definitely not believe it.

After inquiring, he found out that not long after Ye Feng entered a meditative state, the age of the cultivator who cheated was revealed. It had to be said that the methods of the Azure Dragon School were quite brilliant. A single unremarkable liquid had endless mysteries. If a cultivator under the age of 25 took it, it would greatly benefit their body and cultivation.

For example, Ye Feng, he felt that although his cultivation had not made any substantial progress, his spirit energy had become purer.

Those cultivators who were unable to enter the meditative state also benefited greatly, and they seemed to be in high spirits.

As for those cultivators over the age of 25, they were out of luck. When the liquid's effects appeared in their bodies, they immediately felt an intense pain coming from their dantian. It felt like it was being struck by an hour hand.

Any cultivator who had such a feeling would immediately understand that this was the effect of the liquid. No one dared to underestimate the feeling of being struck in the dantian as they immediately circulated the spiritual energy within the group to resist.

It was still better if he didn't resist. As long as he circulated his spiritual energy to resist the pain, he would be able to speed up the pain.

"AHH!" As the first cultivator cried out in pain, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then this situation occurred again. This situation was immediately followed by the appearance of thousands of cultivators.

In a state of panic, the injured cultivator hurriedly asked the main examiner for help. However, by this time, the main examiner had already left. The main examiner was well aware of the use of the liquid, so no one could resist it.

Not long after, all of the thousand or so cultivators fell to the ground, unconscious. When they woke up, they found that the cultivators on their bodies had all disappeared. They became ordinary people, as if they had never cultivated before.

The cultivators were all shocked. This kind of liquid was truly tyrannical. It could directly identify a cultivator's age and could even cripple cultivation levels beyond 25 years of age.

Everyone had heard that the Azure Dragon School possessed various divine abilities, but no one had expected that an ordinary liquid would have such power.

The cultivators that successfully passed felt glad for themselves, while those that didn't had their cultivation destroyed all had deathly pale faces; their faces were filled with dejection and helplessness.

No one could blame others for such an outcome. They could only blame those who lost their mind and mind. When they thought of such a method, they were dealt with by the methods of the Azure Dragon School.

Towards these wasted cultivators, Ye Feng did not have a shred of sympathy, he even thought that this was the punishment they should receive.

Every world needed order, and if everyone relied on their little tricks to achieve their goal, what would happen to those cultivators who trained hard.

Following the awakening of the cultivators that were meditating, the atmosphere on the scene also became much more lively. There were also cultivators that were familiar with each other, conversing with each other, waiting for the true assessment to begin.

Seemingly knowing that the cultivators should wake up, the main examiner who appeared once more came to the arena.

Every cultivator held a jade tablet in their hands. Ye Feng could clearly feel that the cultivation of these cultivators had at least a few hundred aurous stage cultivator s appearing all at once; even though Ye Feng was used to big scenes, he was still shocked.

It was really too astonishing. Even though he knew that the Azure Dragon School's strength was extraordinary, he still underestimated it.

The main examiner came in front of the crowd and said, "Next is the official exam. There are 104,389 people who participated in this exam. During the cultivation and age exam, out of a total of 2493, there are still 101,867 people left."

When the main examiner counted the number of people, Ye Feng couldn't help but to let out a breath of cold air. A hundred thousand people were competing for two thousand spots, and the competition was just too intense.

Everyone listened attentively, trying to see what the final test would be like. How could he stand out amongst the crowd?

"The rest of the exam is very simple. They are divided into two thousand groups. Each group will pick a cultivator to be the candidate for this recruitment. The rest will be considered as having failed."

The organizer's words immediately drew a flurry of discussion. This kind of rule was too simple and sloppy. It was just a question of who had the higher cultivation, and who would stand out in the group. Those with low cultivations could only become stepping stones for others.

Ye Feng calculated that there would be fifty to fifty-one cultivators in each group. If he wanted to successfully enter the Azure Dragon School, he would need to send all the other fifty cultivators in the group home.

"The rules for the selection are very simple as well. Each group can freely negotiate to see who will enter the Azure Dragon School. As for what method they will use to convince others, that is up to you."

The meaning behind the organizer's words was very clear. "The final candidate for the group selection will be chosen by you. As for how you pass the selection, that will depend on your individual abilities."

Such a rule was truly worth recalling. It seemed like a competition to see who had the highest cultivation base, but in reality, it was not. This was not a one on one fight, and whoever had the highest cultivation base would have the absolute advantage.

None of the cultivators present had the absolute strength to face the challenge of 50 people. Therefore, if he wanted to pass the group stage, he would need some means.

This kind of rule was most disadvantageous to aurous stage cultivator. If a few Foundational Monk were to work together, it would be possible for them to expel him from the group.

He was the best at winning in a chaotic battle. Generally speaking, Ye Feng liked to do some small things behind someone's back, and he admitted that he was in a chaotic battle and would not be afraid of anyone.

The cultivators behind the main examiner simultaneously took out a glyph array and threw it into the air, before forming a small, isolated space on the ground. This was a very special glyph array, and inside was a space similar to the testing ground. Cultivators could enter and exit at will, but it also had a transparent barrier that could completely block out the fluctuations of spirit energy generated by the battle.

The main examiner started chanting the names of the cultivators. Every time fifty-one cultivators were called, a small group would form.

The fifty-one would immediately enter the array and wait.

A meticulous cultivator would realize that almost every group would have two or three cultivators with aurine stage.

In total, there were around five thousand cultivators of the aurine stage who were divided into two thousand groups on average. Aside from the main examiner's voice, no one else at the scene dared to make the slightest sound. Everyone was carefully listening and paying attention to their own names.

The main examiner said, "Ye Feng!"

The scene went into an uproar as everyone looked towards Ye Feng.

"This is the one known as Crazy Ruffian, Ye Feng!"

"Even Ye Feng, who made the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures boil, looks like this. He's even more handsome than me."

"I've long heard of Ye Feng's name. I never would have thought that he would also come to participate in the Azure Dragon School's exam. I wonder if Ye Feng will continue to magically invade the Azure Dragon School."

"He's lucky this time. I've long wanted to meet up with this arrogant guy. If he's in the same group as me, I'll send him home in one move."

Some cultivators were very unfriendly to Ye Feng, and their words were very unpleasant to hear.

Ye Feng never thought that his name would cause such a commotion.

It was only when he walked into the array that the chattering gradually died down.

He quickly adjusted his body to its peak state and was ready to start the battle at any moment.

The situation now was very clear. If you wanted to get out of the group, you had to defeat all your opponents. Otherwise, how could they agree to let you get out of the group?

When all the team members of Ye Feng's group arrived, he smiled. He didn't expect that the cultivator who arrogantly said he was going to send him home in one move was also in his group. It was really fated.

Ye Feng thought to himself, if you don't say anything, the first thing I'll do is send you home.

It was as if he did not look down on Ye Feng at all. However, he did indeed have the ability to be proud, and it was reasonable to say that when aurine stage cultivators fought against Foundational Monk, they would easily send their opponents away.

But is Ye Feng an ordinary Foundational Monk!?
