The bald boss was as good as his word.
His body radiated a profound jade light.
His feet stomped heavily on the ground, as if rooting themselves in the earth.
His entire being, his right fist pulled back slightly.
His body instantly formed an arc.
Buzz...!
At this moment, heaven and earth trembled.
As if an endless aura was being pulled by his fist, the profound jade light on his fist grew more intense.
It was as if he was brewing a Rasengan.
Gradually, his fist became invisible.
Only a ball of light remained.
"Hunyuan...!"
The bald boss roared.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, it was as if they saw a giant.
The bald boss's figure was like Pangu splitting the heavens.
His right fist slowly pushed forward.
"Sky-Shattering Cannon...!"
Boom...!
The void shattered, and the firmament trembled in response.
The entire Tianyuan Mountain shook like a sieve.
Disciples who had just entered or had low cultivation levels couldn't stand steady.
They all fell to the ground.
Crack!!
As the bald boss's fist was about to touch the ice mountain.
The ice mountain formed from the Heavenly Water Cold Ice suddenly cracked open with a large hole.
"Little Sun Sun, you're amazing! I didn't know the second level of the Hunyuan Sky-Shattering Cannon was so powerful!"
Luo Erpao's eyes were wide open, and he was incredibly excited.
However, the moment he finished speaking.
Suddenly, two voices like thunder exploded.
"Holy crap!"
These two voices uttered the same words.
"Get out of the way!" The bald boss's body radiated light even more intensely.
He roared loudly.
Everyone outside didn't know what was happening, why he would shout this.
However, what followed was another shout.
"Get out of my way, damn it! I worked so hard to make this hole, and you're going to kill me?"
"Giant Form!"
"Pangu Body Tempering Technique!"
"Kinetic Resonance!"
"Heavy Strike! Slap! Condense...!"
Boom...!
The voice was extremely fast.
Then came a deafening roar.
In front of the bald boss, inside the Heavenly Water Cold Ice.
A shockwave formed by a monstrous surge of power.
Suddenly appeared.
Crack....
The Heavenly Water Cold Ice, which they described as extremely hard.
Exploded directly.
Like a roaring avalanche.
The Heavenly Water Cold Ice turned into powder.
Spraying the entire mountaintop.
Instantly, Tianyuan Mountain became a snow-covered mountain.
Everyone was covered in white.
No one could possibly evade it.
If the Heavenly Water Cold Ice in this explosion had large particles.
It was uncertain how many of these people would survive.
Everyone was suddenly filled with trepidation.
However, when everyone looked.
They finally realized why there was no massive shockwave erupting.
It was because around the original location of the massive Heavenly Water Cold Ice, eight beams of light had appeared.
These were the eight people who had been watching from the outside.
There should have been nine.
Plus Luo Erpao.
However, Luo Erpao at this moment was standing inside a giant golden bell of light.
Just moments ago, others didn't know what was happening.
But those with profound cultivation immediately sensed something was wrong.
Because the hole that erupted from the ice.
Was not an outward spray, but an outward spray from within.
Coupled with the appearance of two voices.
They immediately guessed what had happened.
It was the person inside, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!
He had actually broken free from the ice himself.
Coincidentally, the location where he broke the ice was precisely where their senior brother was using the Hunyuan Sky-Shattering Cannon to attack.
This caused the two to face each other directly.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body inside was destined to bear the full force of the Sky-Shattering Cannon.
However, the voice that came from inside.
Led them to deduce that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had not used his full strength to break through the Heavenly Water Cold Ice.
They knew how tough the Heavenly Water Cold Ice was.
To break through the Heavenly Water Cold Ice so easily, it was due to his profound cultivation.
The few shouts just now.
Were clearly him activating his ultimate move.
Instantly, the eight of them moved.
It had to be said that they were fellow disciples who had grown up together.
They also had a tacit understanding.
Thus, they saved Tianyuan Academy from a disaster.
However, each of these eight people coughed up blood.
And fell from the sky.
The most severely injured was the red-haired elder, as his cultivation was the lowest.
After the white blizzard subsided.
Everyone finally saw clearly what had happened to the bald boss!
He was still maintaining his punching posture.
And opposite him, the guy who had ignited the Five Elements Stone.
Also stood in a bow stance, punching.
The fists of the two collided.
Thus, they remained motionless, covered in white.
Like two snowmen.
This scene froze for a few seconds.
Crack crack crack...
Suddenly, the ice shells outside their bodies began to crack.
Their figures reappeared.
Dense white mist rose.
This was the steam generated by the heat radiating from their bodies, evaporating the surrounding cold air.
"Holy cow, big brother is so awesome, he even took the second level of the Hunyuan Sky-Shattering Cannon!!"
Luo Erpao's eyes gleamed.
The golden bell around his body also disappeared.
He immediately darted to Chu Tian and the bald boss.
And slapped the bald boss.
"Damn it, why did you use so much force? Look how tired my big brother is from dealing with you!
I'm telling you, this is my big brother, you have to call him Grand Ancestor from now on.
If you had harmed my big brother just now, this would be called, essentially, ancestor extermination!"
Luo Erpao glared at the bald boss and directly pinned a label on him.
This label directly hit the bald boss's weak spot.
It made the bald boss tremble.
"Li... Little... Little Ancestor, I... I didn't do it on purpose! I was trying to save someone!
Naturally, I used a bit too much force. Who knew he... Great Ancestor would come out from here!
If I had known Great Ancestor had this capability, I wouldn't have done it unnecessarily!"
This bald boss was single-minded, but when it came to respecting teachers and showing reverence, he truly revered them to the extreme.
Slap...!
Luo Erpao slapped him again.
"What's wrong? Weren't you saying that my big brother was wrong?"
He glared fiercely at the bald boss.
"No... No..."
The bald boss suddenly felt wronged.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Luo Erpao turn his head.
With a fawning smile, he looked at Chu Tian.
"Big brother! Are you okay? Oh dear... look how much you're sweating!"
Saying this, he produced a towel from somewhere.
What looked like a towel was like a worn-out sock.
He was about to wipe Chu Tian's head.
"Get lost!"
Chu Tian dodged his head back.
He cursed with a look of disgust.
Then he slowly withdrew his fist and straightened his body.
How did Chu Tian feel now?
It was as if he had been "driving" all night!
And still had to get up early the next day to go to work.
That feeling of being sore all over, weak, and having an unbearable itch.
His punch just now had condensed almost half of his cultivation.
Now, someone might ask, why would condensing half of his cultivation make him so tired?
That was because, for such a long time, Chu Tian had never used his full strength.
He had always wanted to test the limits of his cultivation!
But he had never encountered anything that would force him to use his full strength.
He had crushed all obstacles and grown to this point.
And just now.
Facing the bald boss's second level of the Hunyuan Sky-Shattering Cannon.
He had truly felt the danger of death.
In an instant, he activated the Pangu Body Tempering Technique, Kinetic Resonance, and the Giant Bear Form.
Several skills of the Giant Bear were condensed and compressed simultaneously.
In a mere instant.
Chu Tian had condensed at least a hundred skills.
The output in a single moment.
Caused his meridians, which had never been used to their full capacity,
to resemble pipes through which accumulated water flowed, with multiple points of damage.
This was why he was in his current physical condition.
It was like someone who rarely exercised suddenly working for a whole day.
During the work, they didn't feel much.
But once the work was done, they would feel sore all over and their muscles would ache.
Just now, he had maintained that posture without moving.
He was adapting.
And just as he had adapted slightly.
Luo Erpao, with that worn-out sock, tried to wipe his face.
He was naturally angry.
However, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
This guy, with his outwardly simple appearance, was actually full of schemes.
His outward appearance was the perfect disguise for playing the pig to eat the tiger.
If you become friends with such a person, he would be truly loyal and heartfelt.
But if you become his enemy, you would have truly bad luck.
He didn't know how many methods he would use to deal with you.
While the two of them were there, one was indifferent,
and the other was trying his best to curry favor.
Chu Tian cast his gaze towards the other eight people who were slowly approaching.
He knew that hiding his cultivation and identity to enter Yuanshi Academy was now impossible.
As expected, after the eight people, who had lived for who knows how many years, approached, they said nothing.
They simply stared at Chu Tian.
Since the other party remained silent, Chu Tian also did not speak.
He swept his gaze over them.
Among them, a white-haired young girl caught Chu Tian's particular attention.
This girl exuded a faint but extremely powerful divine soul fluctuation.
But Chu Tian knew that beneath this youthful appearance, she was an ancient monster.
An old woman who had lived for thousands of years, seeing Chu Tian, her gaze lingered on him.
She actually smiled charmingly.
Dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Chu Tian shivered immediately.
He thought that this girl was thousands of years older than his冥主老妈.
He immediately felt panicked.
He quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Just as he was trying to think of a way to alleviate the awkwardness.
Suddenly, the red-haired elder opposite him wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.
"Order to seal the mountain. No one here can leave today!"
As soon as he gave this order, someone in the distance exclaimed, "Huh?"
Then, someone spoke.
"There are still many people here who haven't passed the assessment, what do we do!"
His words caused many people's hearts to pound.
Yuanshi Academy was going to seal the mountain.
It must be related to the events that had transpired today.
These events, or rather, that man.
Must be related to some secret.
Would those who were not selected be eliminated?
This was the thought in almost everyone's mind.
The red-haired elder's eyes flashed with red light.
Just as he was about to say something, the woman with water-blue hair beside him spoke first.
"It just so happens that this year we need to recruit some handyman disciples. These people can stay at Yuanshi Academy and work as handymen!
Saying this, she cast her gaze towards those who were about to descend the mountain.
She then asked faintly.
"Do you have any objections?"
As soon as she spoke.
The eyes of those people lit up with excitement.
"No!"
"How could we have objections? To be able to work as handymen at Yuanshi Academy, for those of us with inferior aptitude, it's something we've always longed for!"
These people had just narrowly escaped death.
They could all see the red light flashing in the red-haired elder's eyes, just as they had thought, Yuanshi Academy might be planning a cover-up.
Now, not only did they not have to die.
They could also remain at Yuanshi Academy. Although they were just handymen.
But this was Yuanshi Academy.
As long as they could stay here, who would know what they did?
In the future, when they returned home.
It would be considered a great honor to their ancestors.
Their status at home would soar like a rocket.
Those who could come to Yuanshi Academy for the entrance examination.
Were not many from humble backgrounds.
Like the three brothers Luo Erpao had offended earlier, who were from rogue cultivator backgrounds, their aptitude wouldn't be very high.
After all, resources played a very important role in the path of cultivation.
Many people were not born with strong aptitude.
This required a lot of heavenly treasures for cleansing the marrow and refining the essence.
Such things were not easily obtainable by ordinary people.
Therefore, background was very important.
Of course, those with weak innate aptitude who changed through acquired efforts.
Ultimately, their end points would not compare to those peerless geniuses favored by heaven.
But how could peerless geniuses appear so easily?
So, most people's thought was that as long as they could keep up and not fall behind, that would be enough.
Meanwhile, the academy's teachers directly put away the cloud ladder leading down the mountain.
Once the cloud ladder was put away.
If you wanted to go down the mountain, you would have to jump.
Below, a height of 30 kilometers.
If you couldn't fly, you would die.
The rescue formation on the ground below had also been shut down.
That formation was activated to prevent unnecessary deaths for new students climbing the cliff.
Now, Tianyuan Mountain, where Yuanshi Academy was located.
Was only accessible from the outside, not exit.
Of course, those with profound cultivation could still leave if they could fly.
However, these newly admitted disciples naturally did not have that capability.
And the time for the new student entrance examination had long passed at the foot of the mountain.
Those who had left earlier.
Had been picked up by their families.
Many people still remained here.
But everyone's face was filled with happiness.
"Haha, my son didn't come down!"
"My daughter also got admitted to Yuanshi Academy, this is great!"
"Strange, what were those colorful lights that erupted from the mountaintop earlier?"
"Yes, I also find it strange, and the snowflakes that erupted, it's not winter now, is it?"
"Why so many questions? Be happy that your child can stay at Yuanshi Academy. We should also leave now, let's go home and spread the good news!"
The parents who had sent their children up the mountain below were happily heading home.
And on the mountaintop.
Before the mountain gate for the new student entrance examination.
It was now deserted.
The academy was brightly lit.
The newly enrolled students were being arranged for admission.
And those who were originally assigned to be handyman disciples.
Were also assigned to academy dormitories.
The woman with water-blue hair personally told them.
"The handyman disciples from the previous term have not yet left, so you will be temporary outer disciples for one year! Try again in next year's examination! If you fail, you will have to wait for an opening for handyman disciples!"
This news immediately excited these people.
The so-called outer disciples were ordinary disciples who had just enrolled.
They could study with these people for a year.
Then, wouldn't next year's examination be a sure thing?
If they failed, it would only mean their aptitude was too low, and they would have to work as handymen!
If Chu Tian were here, he would definitely curl his lips.
This woman was too good at winning people's hearts.
With such words, these fifteen and sixteen-year-old youths would definitely become loyal to Yuanshi Academy.
Naturally, they would not leak the secrets of Yuanshi Academy outside.
