"That one," Huang Shan whispered.
Ye Chen glanced at it, then his silhouette moved. He dashed out of the grass and rushed over.
"Roar!
Roar! "
The Stinger Hound was alarmed. When it saw Ye Chen, its golden eyes suddenly became ferocious, and it rushed over with a low roar.
Ye Chen's eyes were solemn. He waited until the Stingy Hound Beast was close enough to catch up. Then, he started to run like crazy. One in front, the other behind, he flew through the forest. Because Huang Shan had told him the route in advance, Ye Chen already knew the way back to the village. As long as he could get rid of the Stingy Hound Beast and safely return to the village, it would mean that he was a rank 6 warrior!
Whether he got rid of the Stinger Hound or avoided it by other means, it was a standard. After all, to be able to escape from a monster of the same rank who was best at running was a symbol of strength!
Huang Shan was quite surprised to see Ye Chen's running speed. In the blink of an eye, the man and the beast disappeared from his sight.
Seeing that it was dangerous here, he took his son back to the village first.
Two hours later.
At the entrance of the village, Huang Shan and his son were standing by the guardrail, looking at the dense forest in the distance. Their faces were filled with anxiety and anxiety. At this moment, a figure flew over from afar and entered their sight.
"You're back!"
"Great!"
Huang Shan and his son were pleasantly surprised and quickly rushed over. Huang Shan looked at Ye Chen up and down and saw that he was intact. Even his rough clothes were not torn. He could not help but be surprised, but more than that, he was happy.
"Fortunately, you're back!"
Huang Shan still had a lingering fear. "After thinking about it, I was too reckless. Fortunately, you're fine. Otherwise, how could I explain it to the villagers?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay."
Huang Shan smiled and said, "Now, you're a real Rank 6 warrior. When I report to the elders, maybe you can represent this island and go to the inland sea to participate in the Divine War."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said heavily, "Thank you!"
Huang Shan smiled and said, "It's okay. By the way, before you go to the inland sea, you have to go to the academy in the village, pass the standard examination, and get a medal. In this way, when selecting candidates for the War of Gods, the lords will directly choose you through the behind-the-scenes process."
Ye Chen asked, "Can I enter the academy?"
Huang Shan nodded and said with a smile, "Originally, it was a little difficult. However, now that you have such great strength, and with my introduction, it shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Chen felt relieved and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."
Huang Shan laughed and said, "Let's go back and have a feast to celebrate."
…
The next day, Huang Shan took Ye Chen and Huang Lu to the only academy on the island.
Looking from afar, one could only see a stretch of majestic buildings in the shade of green. The walls were black and white, and the style was unique. The wooden doors were carved, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. After so many years, the culture of this island had greatly improved.
There were a few doormen standing at the entrance of the academy. They were extremely tall and wore animal skins, looking very strong.
As soon as these doormen saw Huang Lu, their eyes lit up, and they shouted happily, "Big Brother Lu!"
Huang Lu's gloomy face revealed a smile. He nodded and said, "Good morning. How many of you are on duty today?"
"Yes."
The doormen nodded in response. Then, they quickly looked at Ye Chen and found that this man only reached their waist. They couldn't help but be curious and asked in surprise, "I heard that an outsider came recently. Is this him?"
Here, outsiders were just like aliens on Earth.
Huang Lu smiled and said, "His name is Ye Chen. You can call him Big Brother Ye."
"Big Brother?" The doormen looked at Ye Chen strangely. "He shouldn't be as old as us, right?"
Huang Lu knew Ye Chen's actual situation. His face became serious and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Big Brother Ye is older than me. Don't think that he's not as tall as you. Big Brother Ye is a Sixth Order powerhouse!"
The doormen were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened. They looked at Ye Chen in surprise and said, "The rumor is true?
He really lifted the God's Stone in the middle of the village? "
Huang Lu nodded seriously and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll go in first."
Immediately, under Huang Lu's lead, the three of them entered the academy. Walking on the fragrant grass path, there were many men and women wearing animal skin and coarse cloth clothes. Although compared to Ye Chen, they were extremely tall, but there was a trace of childishness on their faces.
When these Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters of Huang Lu saw Ye Chen, they were full of curiosity. Those who had a good relationship with Huang Lu came over to explore.
Not long after, they went around a large courtyard. There were many figures coming in and out, and there were cheers and criticisms.
Huang Lu looked much happier and said with a smile, "Big Brother Ye, this is our academy's East Courtyard. There is a martial arts arena inside. Many people come here to spar."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Then, Huang Lu led Ye Chen and Huang Shan to the residence of the dean of the academy. It was an extremely majestic building with black tiles and white bricks. It was quite magnificent and exquisite.
Huang Shan looked around and sighed, "Back then, we also came from this academy. I don't know if the dean still remembers me. He was my teacher back then!"
After sighing, he said to Huang Lu, "You go and train first. Leave this to me."
Huang Lu nodded and glanced at Ye Chen, "Big Brother Ye, good luck!"
Ye Chen smiled. He was very relaxed facing the people of this simple village, just like when he was with his sister.
After waving goodbye, Ye Chen and Huang Shan walked to the dean's residence. There were two young doormen standing at the door. When they saw Huang Shan, one of them was surprised and said, "Master Huang, why are you here?"
Huang Shan glanced at this person and found that he was from the same village as him. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Er Niuzi, so you're the dean's doorman in the academy."
The young man scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "I don't have any ability and I'm afraid of death. I can only do this easy job."
Huang Shan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Help me inform the dean that Huang Shan wants to see him."
The young man quickly nodded and looked at Ye Chen curiously, but he didn't dare to ask more. He quickly ran in. After a while, he trotted out and said with a smile, "Master Huang, the dean asked you to come in."
Huang Shan laughed heartily and led Ye Chen inside. They passed through a courtyard. There were two pine and cypress trees in the courtyard, and a small pond. The environment was elegant, quite like a courtyard house in Beijing. In front of the courtyard, there were several stone steps. At the top of the steps, there was an ancient house with a very exquisite wooden door. It had a scholarly atmosphere, but the decoration in the inner hall was a bit wild.
The two walked in and saw an old man in his seventies sitting at a black wooden table in the inner hall. He had white hair and a square face, full of righteousness. His eyes were deep and occasionally flashed. There was a stack of paper books in his hand and a long spear next to him. At this moment, he was taking out a bag of tea leaves from the drawer. When he heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw Huang Shan's familiar face. He was in a trance for a moment. He only felt that the passage of time was like a day.
Huang Tian was a little moved. He stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings, teacher!"
"Don't be so polite."
When the old man finished brewing the tea, he suddenly saw Ye Chen. He couldn't help but be surprised. After looking at him carefully, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This is the outsider, right?"
Ye Chen clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, master!"
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "Good, good. Take a seat."
Huang Tian didn't decline anymore. He sat down with Ye Chen and sighed with emotion. He talked about the interesting things in the past and sighed.
Ye Chen saw that the two of them seemed to have forgotten his existence as they chatted passionately. He did not disturb them or even show any impatience. From the start to the end, his expression was calm, neither servile nor overbearing.
After two hours, Huang Tian sighed and realized that Ye Chen was beside him. He immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Oh, no. I forgot the time."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry."
The old man looked deeply at Ye Chen with admiration in his eyes and said gently, "Young man, compared to the outside world, which is better?"
Ye Chen didn't hesitate and said frankly, "This place is better!"
"Oh?" The old man was a little interested and said with a smile, "What's so good about us?"
Ye Chen said without hesitation, "Pure, peaceful, and aloof from worldly affairs."
The old man nodded and looked at him thoughtfully. Then he turned to Huang Tian and said with a smile, "Why did you bring him here?"
Huang Tian solemnly said, "To tell you the truth, Master, Brother Ye has reached the Sixth Stage. He is very interested in our Divine Battle, so I brought him here to see if you have any way to give him a Warrior's Medal and let him represent our island to participate in the battle in the inland sea!"
"Sixth rank warrior?"
The old man's eyes shrunk and his expression became serious. He turned to look at Ye Chen and carefully sized him up. Then he said in a deep voice, "Are you really a sixth rank warrior?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Master Huang has already tested me."
The old man looked at Huang Tian and saw that he was telling the truth. He nodded and said with a smile, "Very good. Don't worry, you have passed the elder's test. You must not be a bad person. I can give you a medal and recommend you as one of our island's candidates!"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. We should be the ones thanking you. In this War of the Gods, there is only one sixth-order warrior among the younger generation on our island. According to the rules of the past, every island in the outer region has three places to participate. The minimum requirement is to be a sixth-order warrior!
You just made up for one of our spots. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for our island to have only one participant. "
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and then he smiled bitterly.
The old man smiled and said, "You don't look like you are under 18 years old. However, when the staff of the Temple asks you, you can insist that you are under 18 years old. After all, you can't participate in the competition if you are over the age limit."
Ye Chen nodded. He understood.
