C20 Hao Yue Academy

Rejected?

Looking at the three slots on the notice board, Chu Hen was startled. He clenched his fists tightly, and a look of deep meaning appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, the nearby young male and female students were equally shocked, and all of their faces revealed dense surprise.

"Strange, his name isn't here?"

"That doesn't make sense! He killed the Scale Armor Angry Bear in two moves yesterday. "

"It's quite strange."

Everyone was discussing about it, the final situation of the first group of students was extremely clear yesterday, so logically speaking, with Chu Hen's performance, there should not be any problems in his being admitted.

However, the truth was out of everyone's expectations.

Other than the people who were confused and regretful for Chu Hen, there were also a lot of people who were gloating.

"Actually, being rejected is also normal. Under the circumstances yesterday, the Scale Armor Angry Bear had already exhausted, so killing it is an easy task. Furthermore, he did not tell his plan to the other students in the first group. He was clearly 'stepping on' his comrades to climb up. This kind of act of using his companions is not worth advocating."

"It sounds like it's true. Please, that's just an assessment. How could it be involved in using others?"

"That's right, he even saved young miss Chen Yu in the end!"

"Hmph, then why has he been rejected by the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion? Do you know anything else besides that? "

"This..."

The whispers around him flowed like a torrent, and unceasingly flowed into Chu Hen's ears.

Chu Hen's eyes became focused, and he heaved a sigh of relief. He did not stay any longer, and directly turned to leave the place.

Chu Hen, who was walking alone on the street, was feeling solemn and confused at the same time.

Previously, he had been rejected at Difeng Martial Mansion, but now it happened again at Giant Elephant Martial Mansion.

Could there be a connection between these two things?

If there really was a connection between these two things, then things might be much simpler.

Someone was targeting him?

Chu Hen had only been in the Imperial Capital for less than three days, so he had not offended anyone.

Could it be because of the Liu Family? However, this was the Imperial Capital, and it was even impossible for Liu Family to control everything in Huoyan City, let alone to reach out its hand here.

"Forget it."

Chu Hen shook his head, since he could not guess, then he might as well not think about it. No matter what, he had already been rejected by the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion, so he had to consider other options.

Very quickly, Chu Hen had adjusted the emotions in his heart, and his bright eyes had a flash of determination.

Then, without any hesitation, he headed in the same direction.

Giant Elephant Martial Mansion!

A large and spacious garret exuded a magnificent aura.

The vermilion stone pillar was erected on a wide corridor. There was an ornate decorated room at the end of the corridor. There were faint sounds of arguing coming from it.

"Elder Wei, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, Mentor Lu Su, please take note of your tone." A middle-aged man in his forties sat on a wide chair, looking at a man in his thirties with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The latter was exactly the Main Mentor of the assessment yesterday, Lu Su.

At this moment, Lu Su's brows were knitted tightly, he seemed to be extremely annoyed, he pointed to the list of books in his hand and asked, "Elder Wei, why did you eliminate that student called Chu Hen?"

"Hehe." The middle-aged man who was addressed as Elder Wei laughed, "I have guessed it how big a event. Just because of a student?"

"But he has already passed the exam. You have to at least give me a reason to reject him."

"Mentor Lu, need I ask for your permission when I want to make a decision?" Elder Wei stared at him coldly, his tone was casual.

Lu Su was furious, he acknowledged Chu Hen as his student.

Now, Elder Wei had already said to eliminate Chu Hen, and he didn't have a clear reason for doing so. This made Lu Su feel somewhat dissatisfied.

"Elder Wei!" Lu Su's brows were knitted tightly as he enunciated each word clearly, "The person in charge of the freshmen assessment this time is me."

"So what? If you are not satisfied with my methods, you can go to the dean. However, I must remind you that you'd better not make yourself be ostracized inside and outside just for the sake of a small matter. "

"You!"

Lu Su's face changed, Elder Wei's words were filled with threat.

It was definitely impossible for him to report to the dean. Not to mention the dean, even an ordinary mentor wouldn't care if he eliminated a freshman. This was indeed a small matter.

The reason why Lu Su wanted to redress the grievances was purely because he felt that Chu Hen was someone who could be moulded, eliminating him would truly be a pity. However, his identity was no match for Elder Wei, so he was unable to help Chu Hen even though he wanted to do that.

"You can go now. I still have matters to take care of." Elder Wei said disdainfully.

Lu Su endured his bellyful of anger, clenched his fists, and angrily turned around to leave.

A cold glint of indifference flashed in the corner of Elder Wei's eyes as his face suffused a disdainful sneer.

At noon, Chu Hen arrived at the entrance of a residence.

Directly above the entrance of the grand and majestic manor hung a plaque. On the plaque, four sharp characters were engraved.

"Bright Moon Martial Mansion."

Bright Moon Martial Mansion, one of the five great high level martial mansion.

The reason why Chu Hen chose this martial mansion was naturally because Long Xuanshuang was here.

Although Long Zhan's little daughter, Chu Hen's Second Elder Sister, was not related to him by blood, and did not treat him as closely as Long Qingyang did, she was still a close relative who had grown up with him together.

If he could stay in the same martial mansion with Long Xuanshuang, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

At this moment, the Bright Moon Martial Mansion's gate was practically empty, with only a few guards and a registration staff staying on the left side of the stairs.

That person was lazily sitting on a chair behind a long table with his eyes closed. He had a bored expression on his face.

"I want to register to participate in the examination," Chu Hen said modestly as he walked in front of that registrar.

"Hmm?" The registrar yawned, and squinting at Chu Hen carelessly. "You came so late? The assessment has already begun today. "

"Then I'll be registering for tomorrow." Chu Hen said.

The man didn't answer him, but turned his head and shouted towards the direction of the gate of the Bright Moon Martial Mansion, "Mouse!"

Mouse?

Chu Hen was startled, was this a person's name?

"Mouse." Seeing that there was still nobody in front of him, the man called out a few more times.

"I'm coming, are you trying to rush me?" Along with a dissatisfied grumbling, a petite, small-headed, small-eyed youth ran out from the Bright Moon Martial Mansion gate.

Seeing this person's appearance, Chu Hen immediately understood that the name 'Mouse' was really a symbol.

Especially his small eyes, they really did look like a rat's eyes.

"Mouse, did you fall into the fecal pit or have your ears blocked by feces? You only replied after being called for so long? " The man in charge of registration cursed directly.

"You're the one who fell into the fecal pit; why didn't you shout louder? You know that my ears are small and design to find fault with me, right? " Mouse retaliated without any trace of politeness.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Hen was immediately felt speechless.

Are these two men really from Bright Moon Martial Mansion?

He might have come to the wrong place!

"You guy, tell me your name and age." The man in charge of the registration turned to look at Chu Hen.

"Chu Hen, sixteen!"

After a simple registration, the man leaned and said, "Mouse, take him to the exam grounds and see if make an arrangement for him. If there is no way to arrange him, then he'll have to wait until the next time. "

"Thank you!" Chu Hen nodded his head gratefully.

The man waved his hand and didn't say anything else.

On the other hand, the small-eyed man was quite friendly, "Hehe, come with me! Well, you're really late. Since the examination has started this morning, I'm not sure if you'll be able to attend it!"

"I experienced something unexpected today and gave you some trouble." Chu Hen replied.

"Not at all. I've met too many people in situations like yours these days. You have to do your best! If you can enter our Bright Moon Martial Mansion, you will have a very promising future. You have the strength of the Rank seven of the Vein Opening Stage, right? "

"Hmm?" Chu Hen was slightly startled.

"No? What about Rank six? You have reached Rank six of the Vein Opening Stage, right? " Mouse continued, "If you haven't even reach Rank six, sixthen it would be a little difficult for you to pass the the examination. But no worries, there will still be chances in the future, just like me, who had spent two years in the examination before I could pass it and enter the Bright Moon Martial Mansion.

Mouse was clearly an enthusiastic chatterbox who was not much older than Chu Hen, yet he acted like a senior. However, his appearance was completely not in that case, making him look a little comical.

Of course, Chu Hen did not reject this kind of 'blabbering'. After all, there was exactly a sliver of care in his words and actions.

Under Mouse's lead, Chu Hen arrived at a wide stage square with him.

The square was filled with people. They were mostly young men and women around the age of fifteen or sixteen. There were roughly five to six hundred people. At that very instant, almost everyone were focused on looking at the tall stage in the center of the stage.

On the stage, the sounds of Strength of True Essence colliding with each other and the shouts of the crowd could be heard unceasingly.

Chu Hen turned to look, only to see a fight happening on the stage.

Twenty to thirty young men and women were besieging one person. The person being besieged was tall and sturdy, as strong as a bear. He looked to be around thirty years of age, and he held a Broadsword in his hand. Standing up to the siege from many students around, he was quite calm.

"This is the content of the examination?" Chu Hen asked in astonishment.

"En! The assessment of our Bright Moon Martial Mansion is very simple, with only one content, and that is thirty people in a group to attack Mentor Liu Meng with all their might. As long as they can endure Mentor Liu Meng's attack for a quarter of an hour, then they will pass the examination."
