Chapter 1

Ye Yihan shook his head, suddenly feeling that his younger brothers were a bit foolish.

"Cousin can casually take out heaven-stage martial techniques."

"Most importantly, the heaven-stage martial techniques Cousin gave us have all been processed by her, so that all cultivation levels can see them. This shows how powerful her mental strength is, doesn't it?"

"For cultivators, the hardest thing to cultivate is mental strength. Once mental strength is powerful, it's very easy for the body and cultivation to advance."

The few of them nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Yilan, who had the simplest thoughts, immediately laughed: "Who cares? Anyway, it's a good thing that Cousin is powerful. The more powerful she is, the less likely anyone will dare to bully her."

...

Inside the trial grounds.

Yedanyin, using a concealment talisman, encountered several groups of Earth-class and Mystic-class students.

This time, she didn't hold back.

Since these people had already decided to deal with her, they were now her enemies.

She eliminated them without hesitation.

At the same time, she also gained a lot of points.

Just as she had eliminated three Mystic-class students, she sensed a strong spiritual energy fluctuation coming from ahead.

And those spiritual energy fluctuations were all from human cultivators, not spirit beasts.

This meant—there were two groups fighting ahead.

Yedanyin, worried that the Yellow-class students might be bullied, immediately used the Shadowless Step, aided by spatial power, and rushed over at high speed.

In front of her stood the beautiful and spirited Meng Qiu, the provocatively smiling Qi Wunwei, and a group of Yellow-class students.

Meng Qiu was the only daughter of the Meng family, one of the four major families in the Imperial Capital.

Qi Wunwei was the young master of the Qi family and also the younger brother of the former Qingyang City Lord, Qi Wunyang.

Originally, Qi Wunwei was in the Heaven-class, but after learning about Yedanyin from his brother, he became very curious about her and kept asking her about Qingyang City.

Over time, he decided to have his family transfer him to the Yellow-class, which was also related to the elders of the Qi family instructing him to befriend Yedanyin.

This made Jiao Rifan quite angry.

However, although Qi Wunwei looked like a lively young man, he was actually single-minded and only interested in physical cultivation, wanting to become a strong and manly man. He didn't care much about other forms of cultivation, so he was at the bottom of the Heaven-class.

This was the only thing that made Jiao Rifan feel somewhat relieved.

Meng Qiu, who was naturally unafraid of trouble, became even more unruly when paired with Qi Wunwei.

Moreover, the two were very smart.

After learning that the students from other classes in the trial grounds planned to deal with Yedanyin, they gathered the Yellow-class students and started looking for Mystic-class and Earth-class students, causing all sorts of trouble to prevent them from finding others.

They couldn't beat the Heaven-class students, but after two months of Yedanyin's guidance, their cultivation had advanced rapidly, and they could now match the Earth-class and Mystic-class students.

Their methods were very effective, and indeed, many Earth-class and Mystic-class students were unable to break free.

At this moment, a conflict had erupted between a few Yellow-class and Mystic-class students.

The Yellow-class had more people, and after deliberately provoking them, Meng Qiu skillfully fanned the flames: "We won't bully you with numbers. How about this: we'll pick a few people to fight you one-on-one. The winner gets the points, and the loser is eliminated. What do you say?"

This tactic never failed.

The Mystic-class and Earth-class students felt a sense of superiority in front of the Yellow-class students.

They thought dealing with the Yellow-class students would be easy for them.

However, they didn't realize that because of Yedanyin, the Yellow-class was no longer the same as before.

Only after the actual fight, when all the Mystic-class students were defeated, did they realize the true strength of the Yellow-class.

"The Yellow-class students are actually so strong now?"

"They didn't lose a single match? Is that true?"

"Ever since Yedanyin joined the Yellow-class, the entire class has become mysterious... Could it be that they became so strong because of Yedanyin?"

"That can't be possible, right?"

"I saw with my own eyes that Yedanyin has extraordinary insight. After understanding martial techniques, she always guides the Yellow-class students..."

In the audience seats outside the projection screen, everyone was enthusiastically discussing the changes in the Yellow-class, amazed by their progress.

At the same time, many mentors congratulated Lu Rong.

"Teacher Lu, you are truly a skilled mentor. I think your Yellow-class is about to turn things around."

Lu Rong, who usually had a serious face, smiled faintly: "Yes, this is all thanks to Teacher Jiao, who gave Yedanyin to me. Without her guidance, the students wouldn't have made such great progress."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiao Rifan with strange eyes.

They had all heard that Yedanyin was originally assigned to the Heaven-class but was rejected by Jiao Rifan.

Previously, they didn't think much of it, but now, it seemed that Jiao Rifan had a narrow-minded and short-sighted view.

Those strange gazes felt like needles piercing Jiao Rifan, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth, trying to calm down. It didn't matter; as long as one Heaven-class student surpassed Yedanyin, she would be expelled from the Imperial Capital Academy.

Once Yedanyin left the Imperial Capital Academy, people would eventually forget about this matter.

Although the Heaven-class hadn't gained any advantage from Yedanyin so far, he believed in Mo Shang.

He was the top student in the Heaven-class, a genius cultivated with all the resources of the class.

Moreover, Mo Shang's points were already over 17,000.

He was far ahead of Yedanyin, making it almost impossible for her to catch up.

"Teacher Jiao, now that you see how excellent Yedanyin is, do you feel any regret?"

A straightforward mentor, not knowing how to be tactful, asked Jiao Rifan this question in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at Jiao Rifan curiously.

To be honest, although they were embarrassed to ask, they were all very interested in this question.

Jiao Rifan's lips twitched, and he barely resisted the urge to strangle the person, then laughed coldly: "There are countless geniuses in the world. Only those who can grow up are true geniuses. Although Yedanyin is excellent, I don't regret it. After all, I can't make all the geniuses in the world join my class. Moreover, Mo Shang, a student in our Heaven-class, is very excellent. Even if Yedanyin is strong, she can't possibly surpass him in the assessment."

Everyone, of course, heard the stubbornness in his words and responded with an "Oh."

Lu Rong's face turned sour: "So you mean Yedanyin can't grow up?"

Jiao Rifan gave her a smug look: "Those were your words, not mine."

Lu Rong gritted her teeth in anger.

At the same time.

As time passed, the assessment was down to just one hour.

Yedanyin finally decided to start the final hunt.
