Yao Mo and Zhu Fengluo were gathered in a senior disciple's courtyard.
They were both sons of high officials in the dynasty, but they were not your average silkpants. Their cultivation talent was outstanding, otherwise they would not have been able to enter the Imperial Academy.
When they heard that Yao Yue had passed two trials and lasted fifteen minutes in the third trial, they were both shocked and worried.
"Yao Mo, your idiot brother is really good at enduring. He actually has such strength and talent. No wonder he was able to enter the Imperial Academy. Looks like he will soon be taken in as a personal disciple by some elders. When that happens, we will be in a bad situation," Zhu Fengluo said to Yao Mo with a sharp glint in his eyes.
Yao Mo frowned and said, "Three years ago, he was beaten silly by my brother. At that time, there was a doctor who examined him. His brain was indeed not as bright as it used to be. Who would have thought that it was all a scam? He was actually able to endure all kinds of torture for three whole years to reach this level.
"We have to get rid of this brat. Otherwise, in another year, even you and I will not be able to suppress him!"
Zhu Fengluo said ruthlessly. After a pause, he added, "If you can't do it, I will do it for you."
Zhu Fengluo knew that his brother, Zhu Fengbo, had his arms and legs broken by Yao Yue in the Imperial City. Naturally, he would not let Yao Yue off.
Moreover, there was someone behind him who wished for Yao Yue's death.
Yao Mo sneered, "He is just a bastard born of a servant. Why would we not dare to do anything to him?" He then said worriedly, "He has already left our Yao family and has become that fool's man of the Long family. If we touch him, the Long family will flip the entire academy upside down to find us."
"Don't worry. We only need to wait patiently for two more months. This year's batch of disciples will be sent to the Jueyao Ridge for training. At that time, if he accidentally dies there, I believe no one will suspect us. As for the Long family, they have been in power for too long. Soon, someone will make a move against them," Zhu Fengluo said ruthlessly.
Yao Mo looked at Zhu Fengluo and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Yao Yue was in her room, swallowing some healing herbs. She was also using some herbs to bind her body so that her injuries would recover quickly.
Yao Yue was already familiar with all sorts of herbs and herbs from the Demonic Demon Emperor's memories. Therefore, he had asked Nangong Cai to prepare some herbs and some ordinary healing herbs. They would be effective if consumed orally.
"As expected, the third trial isn't easy to pass. It seems I'll have to at least reach the Yuan Scholar Stage or the Middle Demon Stage before I can pass this trial!
However, that place is the best training ground. It can speed up the conversion of my demonic energy into elemental energy and increase my cultivation! "Yao Yue said to himself.
He didn't give up just because he was beaten up. Instead, it ignited his passion!
As of now, he had already opened 77 meridians, and was still far from opening 108 meridians. He needed to speed up his improvement, and the Wooden Puppet Stage was undoubtedly the best shortcut for improvement.
On the second day, Yao Yue's injuries were much better. Once again, he entered the third stage to train himself.
On this day, he also persisted for 15 minutes. His injuries weren't light either, but he was able to walk back to the side courtyard by himself.
On the third day, Yao Yue tried to pass the trial again. He persisted for 15 minutes, and his injuries were lighter than the previous day.
Yao Yue's continuous passing of the trials attracted even more attention in the academy.
Many people even gave Yao Yue a nickname, "Masochist!"
Who could deny it? This guy clearly had half a month of time to cultivate, but he didn't rest and continued to pass the trials. This was extremely similar to the few monarchs of geniuses in the history of the academy.
And those monarchs of geniuses had once become monarchs of a region, leaving behind miraculous deeds in the academy!
On the fourth day, Yao Yue still hadn't woken up when someone knocked on his door.
"Boss, have you woken up yet? The instructor is looking for you!" Guan Changyun's loud voice sounded from outside the door.
Yao Yue woke up from his cross-legged meditation and immediately walked over to open the door.
He saw Guan Changyun looking at him with an excited smile. Behind him was Instructor Situ Qing.
Situ Qing didn't put on any makeup. Her face was beautiful, and her eyes were bright like the moon. Her nose was exquisite, her lips were smooth, and her hair was like silk. She always gave people a feeling of perfection.
"Instructor!" Yao Yue didn't dare to look directly at her beautiful face. He quickly bowed and greeted her.
Don't be fooled by her beauty. If she was angry, he couldn't even take one hit from her.
"Come out. I have something to say to you!" Situ Qing nodded lightly and said.
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll be right there!" Yao Yue replied. He then went back to his room to tidy up his appearance before walking out of the room.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Guan Changyun being slapped a few meters away by Situ Qing.
"Guan Changyun, other than passing the Wooden Dummy Stage three times a day, you will also have to lift a 300kg stone block for four hours to train your body!" Situ Qing said coldly.
Guan Changyun wailed. It was bad enough that he was beaten up, but he still had to train his body. Wasn't this asking for his life?
He didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly covered his chest and staggered back to his room.
This time, in front of Yao Yue, he had lost all his face.
Yao Yue smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Let's see if you still dare to have any ideas about this tigress."
"May I know why Instructor is looking for me?" Yao Yue and Situ Qing sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard and asked.
Yao Yue looked at Situ Qing. His blood was boiling. If it wasn't for the Thousand Year Frost Jade, he would have been burning with lust again.
"This Prince Consort's willpower is so weak, damned lecherous snake!" Yao Yue cursed in his heart.
"Do you still remember what I said to you a few days ago?" Situ Qing asked indifferently.
"Yes, I do," Yao Yue replied honestly.
"Are you still going to do it?" Situ Qing asked again.
Yao Yue was put in a difficult position. The mentor had already lowered himself to ask such a question. If he were to refuse, where would the mentor's face go?
Just as he was in a difficult position, a clear voice rang out, "Junior Sister Situ, you're here too? What a coincidence!"
A man in his twenties walked towards the courtyard. He looked elegant and unrestrained. Sword Qi flowed between his brows. His black hair fluttered like sharp swords. He carried an ancient sword on his back. He looked like a powerful swordsman, unrestrained and unrestrained!
His name was Mo Yang, nicknamed Swordsman Mo. He was also an instructor and a deacon of the academy.
"Senior Brother Mo, are you also here to look for Yao Yue from my class?
Or Zhang Mengfei? "Situ Qing stood up and replied.
Yao Yue also stood up and bowed slightly to the person who came.
"Hehe, I almost forgot. Two of the five Newcomer Kings this year are from your class!"
Mo Yang smiled. He then looked at Yao Yue and said, "This kid is quite handsome. You must be Yao Yue, right?
You really live up to your name.
Today, I'm here on Elder Lie Tian's orders to invite Yao Yue over for a chat. "
Mo Yang went straight to the point and did not try to hide anything.
"Elder Lie Tian?
Has he finally decided to take in a disciple?
That's really rare! "Situ Qing said with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
"Haha, there are a few good seedlings in this batch. They are much better than the previous batch. Elder Lie Tian naturally wants to observe them one by one to see who is more suitable to inherit his mantle." Mo Yang laughed.
"I see. This is their luck. Elder Lie Tian is one of the ten great elders in our academy. He has been a Yuan Monarch for many years." Situ Qing nodded.
Yao Yue had already learned a lot about the academy from the ranking list.
There was a dean, three vice deans, and twenty great elders in the academy. Each of them had the strength of a Xiantian Yuan Monarch.
Lie Tian was ranked in the top ten along with the four deans. This showed that his strength was not to be underestimated.
Many youths wanted to be the disciple of these deans and elders. If they could be nurtured by them, their strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
"Now, I want to bring Yao Yue to see Elder Lie Tian. What do you think, Junior Sister Situ?" Mo Yang asked Situ Qing.
He knew Situ Qing's identity and did not dare to take her away immediately.
"Sure, but I hope Elder Lie Tian will not force him. My grandfather also wants to take him in as a disciple."
Situ Qing did not beat around the bush. She directly mentioned her grandfather to let Mo Yang know what she meant.
"What? The dean also wants to take him in as a disciple?" Mo Yang was shocked.
"Yes, but if he is willing to be the disciple of Elder Lie Tian, my grandfather will not force him." Situ Qing said.
"Since he is the disciple that the dean has his eyes on, I think Elder Lie Tian will know what to do."
Mo Yang replied with a bitter smile. Then, he looked at Yao Yue with an envious gaze and left alone.
Subsequently, two more elders sent messengers to invite Yao Yue. However, they were all rejected by Situ Qing.
Yao Yue even had the heart to die!
The elders were all powerful existences in the academy. It was an honor for him to be invited, but he did not have the chance to meet them. This made him very depressed.
However, the most depressing thing was that he knew that the dean had no intention of taking him in as a disciple. Everything was just an excuse Situ Qing came up with.
Her original intention was to take him in as a disciple!
Situ Qing looked at the crying Yao Yue and smiled faintly. This smile instantly made the world lose its color. It was incomparably beautiful and could make any man's heart beat faster!
Yao Yue could not help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
Situ Qing's beauty was comparable to Long Yue-er's, but they were two different kinds of beauty.
Situ Qing's beauty was like a blooming snow lotus. Long Yue-er's beauty was like a pure white pearl. They were both wonderful in their own ways.
Situ Qing quickly reverted back to her cold appearance and said, "Are you asking for a beating?"
This time, she did not really hit Yao Yue. She really wanted to take Yao Yue in as a disciple.
It was not only because of her grandfather's instructions, but also because of Yao Yue's limitless potential as a high-grade Yuan Weapon. Situ Qing realized that the person in front of her was a king among geniuses who would definitely shine in the future.
Therefore, she really wanted to take Yao Yue in as a disciple.
