Wang Ye jumped off the combat stage.
Everyone’s gazes changed.
There was excitement and praise, but more than that, there was a strong sense of competition.
This was the Primordial Star!
Those who could enter here were all geniuses among geniuses of the human cosmic. Each was a proud talent, and no one was willing to be second to others.
Among them, the ones with the strongest sense of competition were the disciples whom the Primordial Star had taken the initiative to recruit.
Jin Quan’s defeat made them even more eager.
“Next.” Ning Dan’s gaze fell on Wen Rou.
“Her.” Wen Rou pointed at Yu Yu, who had just defeated Dongse Ziyu.
“Go, Yu Yu.” Ning Dan threw out a small conical tube. After Yu Yu consumed it, she was instantly filled with energy and returned to her peak condition. She jumped onto the combat stage.
Compared to just now, her aura was even stronger.
“What’s that?” Wang Ye looked at Dongheng Wanyi.
This fellow was quite a chatterbox and seemed to know a lot.
“Potions,” Dongheng Wanyi said. “You’ll be able to come into contact with recovery potions very soon.”
Why would he come into contact with them? To play with the little blue bottle?
As they spoke, Yu Yu and Wen Rou had already begun to fight.
Wen Rou’s first move was like thunder and unlike her name, she was not gentle at all.
Both saber and sword were used, and the killing intent in her body was endless. Her eyes were as cold as the death god’s. Under the enhancement of the path of killing intent, her combat prowess exploded.
With just one attack, she suppressed Yu Yu.
The thunderstorm-like violent attacks made it difficult for Yu Yu, who was proficient in defense, to parry.
Ning Dan touched his smooth chin in satisfaction and smiled with narrowed eyes.
“She went so very easy on you previously,” Dongheng Wanyi said to Wang Ye.
“I know.” Wang Ye nodded.
After comprehending the path of killing intent, Wen Rou was very strong. She even surpassed Piao Baibai, who had unleashed his bloodline.
“Her victory is sure,” Dongheng Wanyi said.
Wang Ye looked at the combat stage.
Wen Rou’s style completely countered Yu Yu’s.
If one couldn’t suppress Wen Rou in the early stages, one wouldn’t be able to do so later on.
With her talent of Killing God, her killing intent would get more and more violent. Plus, now that she had comprehended the path of killing intent, it was like adding fuel to the fire.
The speed at which her killing intent rose was simply astonishing. The integration of her saber and sword had long surpassed perfection, fighting Yu Yu until she was unable to retaliate.
Boom! Wen Rou tore through the Spatial Lock. She shattered Yu Yu’s impregnable defense and won with a crushing offensive.
Absolute strength!
“The suppression of realms and the suppression of styles.” Wang Ye praised.
Yu Yu was very strong, but Wen Rou was now ridiculously strong.
She won too easily.
“Wen Rou wins.” Ning Dan announced the result with a smile.
His eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Wen Rou, and he seemed very satisfied.
However, the eyes of the disciples behind him were each sharper than the previous one, and their sense of competition was extremely strong.
“Do they have a grudge against us?” Wang Ye was surprised.
“Not really. It’s just that we don’t like each other,” Dongheng Wanyi said.
“We who came from the Supernova Prodigy Tournament think that those independently recruited disciples were just lucky. They were chosen without going through the elimination battle. They’re only in the lead because they entered the Primordial Star earlier to cultivate.”
“The independently recruited disciples feel that we’re not as talented as them. They think that we’re merely the most outstanding among the second-class geniuses and barely managed to be selected. In particular, the disciples who came from high-dimensional worlds are even more arrogant.”
Wang Ye nodded.
It was normal. Both sides were proud talents.
“It’s a good thing. Only with competition can there be progress.” Wang Ye had seen this kind of thing many times. Benign competition was a good thing as it could stimulate goals and fighting spirit.
“You’re right.” Ning Dan appeared beside him out of nowhere. Wang Ye was shocked. The former smiled. “The reason why I arranged for the newcomers to challenge the seniors is to stimulate your fighting spirit.”
Good heavens, so it’s this old… Senior who did this!
Wang Ye thought to himself, That was close.
“Here, I’ll give you a newcomer gift.” Ning Dan waved his hand and took out two long rulers. He gave them to Wang Ye and Wen Rou. “These are some indestructible artifacts I’ve been refining for fun. They’ve fused with the cosmic secret of space. You can use them as transportation.”
Indestructible artifacts? Refining for fun?
Wang Ye was shocked.
Senior Ning was really well-versed in everything. No wonder he was able to become the newcomers’ instructor.
Ning Dan seemed to be very satisfied with the thoughts of the two little fellows. He patted Wang Ye and Wen Rou’s shoulders. “Study hard in the Newborn Fate World. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I look forward to your performance in the Star Examination.”
After saying that, his figure distorted and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Ye was stunned.
Uh… He hadn’t told him how to find him yet.
“I’ll know when you recite my name or call out Teacher in the Newborn Fate World.” Ning Dan’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Wang Ye was shocked.
Was it that magical?
“Teacher Ning Dan.” Wang Ye thought.
“No chit-chat. If you have anything to say, ask directly,” Ning Dan said.
“What is the Star Examination? And what should I do now?” Wang Ye asked.
“The Star Examination is the process of building the foundation for every newcomer in the Primordial Star. As for what to do, you’ll know the answer after you take a walk around the Newborn Fate World,” Ning Dan said.
“Yes, Teacher.” Wang Ye didn’t ask further.
In any case, there was still a chatty tool person…
?
Where was Dongheng Wanyi?
Wang Ye looked at Wen Rou.
“He seemed to have guessed something and ran very fast,” Wen Rou said.
This fellow…
“Do you know what the Star Examination is?” Wang Ye looked at Wen Rou.
“I just arrived too,” Wen Rou said.
“Let’s go and ask a kind-hearted person.” Wang Ye looked down on Dongheng Wanyi.
Sweeping his gaze around, he quickly locked onto a pair of siblings who looked very passionate no matter how he looked at them. He walked over.
“Long time no see, Brother Qing Xuan, Xiao Yu.” Wang Ye laughed.
“Haha, I thought you weren’t coming, Brother Wang Ye.” Qing Xuan wasn’t very old, and he wasn’t tall either. However, he had a forthright personality. He took out a supreme-grade supreme treasure and handed it over. “Here, this is yours.”
“Thankyou.” Wang Ye didn’t stand on ceremony. He immediately returned the transcendent-grade supreme treasure that Qing Yu had “stored” with him to its rightful owner. He looked at the happy little loli and asked, “How long have you been here?”
“We came early in the morning.” Qing Yu played with the transcendent-grade supreme treasure lovingly.
“That’s great. I wonder if the two of you can bring us around to familiarize ourselves with the Newborn Fate World and introduce us to the Star Examination,” Wang Ye said with a smile.
“What is the Star Examination?” Qing Xuan asked.
Wang Ye: “…”
“Brother! Didn’t I tell you last time?!” Qing Yu was annoyed. Then, she said in embarrassment, “After my brother lost to Yihuang, he was locked up in the Nine Nether Tower. After he came out, he focused on cultivating in seclusion. That’s why he doesn’t know much.”
“What about you?” Wen Rou asked.
“I only know a little.” Qing Yu stretched out her pinky, looking quite cute.
They were really biological siblings…
“If Brother Wang Ye doesn’t mind, I’ll bring you to familiarize yourself with the Newborn Fate World.” Jiu Gedi’s voice came from behind. He had a carefree smile on his face and was dressed like a chivalrous man.
Behind him were two eye-catching people.
One of them was Hui Zhi, who had a bald head and put his hands together as if they were glued together.
There was also the fierce-looking Qifeng Zhenqing. Her breasts were far beyond the normal size for a loli, and it was a feast for the eyes.
“That’s exactly what I want.” Wang Ye laughed.
“Brother, should we go with them?” Qing Yu suddenly asked as she watched Wang Ye and Wen Rou leave with Jiu Gedi and the others.
Qing Xuan thought for a while and agreed. “Yes.”
The four of them followed Jiu Gedi’s lead.
“The Star Examination is a way for newcomers to show their potential. The more outstanding your performance is, the more rewards you will receive. If you are valued by the High Dimension Lords and the Sovereign Venerates, the chances of becoming a disciple will be greater. Newcomers who perform exceptionally well in the Star Examinations can even choose their own teachers.”
Jiu Gedi’s voice was clear as he explained, “The Star Examination is divided into six major categories. Each category will have a star rating. One star is qualified, two stars is good, and three stars is excellent. For a newcomer, it’s already very impressive to be able to reach three stars. Only when all six Star Examinations have reached 1 star will one be considered to have passed the Initial Star Examination. Then, one can enter the Primordial Plaza. When the total stars of the six Star Examinations reach 12 stars, one will be considered to have passed the Intermediate Star Examination and can enter the Cosmic Transfer Area.”
Wang Ye understood.
It was just a six-subject assessment.
The Primordial Plaza had a dazzling array of shops and various types of buildings.
Any disciple of the Primordial Star may appear there. Even Undyings and Eternals would appear, including the big shots whose whereabouts were mysterious.
There, they could socialize, accept missions, exchange for treasures, and set up stalls to earn money.
When Wang Ye possessed N0.4, he had been there many times.
As for the Cosmic Transfer Area, its only function was to transfer.
They could travel to and from the low-dimensional cosmic.
They could head to the blessed lands and celestial residence precincts of the High Dimension Lords and Sovereign Venerates.
They could go to other places in the Primordial Star.
They could even leave the Primordial Star and head to various places in the high-dimensional cosmic!
This included the four great human realms, the chaos domains, various chaos continents, and countless high-dimensional worlds.
“What are the six Star Examinations?” Wen Rou asked.
“I know! Combat prowess, the Great Path, and willpower!” Qing Yu answered from behind.
“These are the three martial arts subjects. There’s still the three social sciences subjects,” Hui Zhi said calmly.
Three social sciences subjects and three martial arts?
Were they trying to become top scholars?
Wang Ye couldn’t help laughing.
“What are the three social sciences subjects?” Wen Rou frowned. Her intuition told her that this was not her area of expertise.
Jiu Gedi smiled. “The three social sciences subjects are a tradition of the Primordial Star. The Primordial Star has the most ancient and unknown side of the cosmic. The information and classics are the best in the human cosmic. All the information of the Supreme Human Academy comes from the Primordial Star.”
“The first subject is knowledge. The knowledge of the high-dimensional world is all-encompassing, including the structure of the high-dimensional cosmic and the knowledge of the various races, especially the 32 powerful races and 175 ordinary races under the eight great races. You must know them like the back of your hand.
“The five vassals of the devil race, namely the Bloodkill race, the Poison-Curse race, the Moonpity race, the Shadowthorn race, the Black Dwarf race, as well as the four vassals of the demon race are all our enemies. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win.”
Wang Ye nodded.
Powerful races also had Supremes, though not Supremes who had refined huge chaos realms.
As such, they had no place for the race to take root in the high-dimensional cosmic and flourish.
“The second subject is classics. It includes the framework of cultivation, details, knowledge of each Great Path and laws, various secret techniques, cosmic secrets, and Cosmic Energy Spells, as well as the cracking and construction of restrictions, arrays, and secret realms.
“Whether it’s the understanding of one’s cultivation path, future development, or the execution of missions in the future, these are the foundation of our lives when we head to various high-dimensional worlds and chaos continents. They can even play a key role,” Jiu Gedi said.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
This was what he needed the most, especially in terms of cultivation.
“As for the third subject, it is the most difficult…” Jiu Gedi smiled.” I’m also stuck at this point. Even Xian Yuyan and Piao Baibai are unable to pass the Initial Star Examination and enter the Primordial Plaza because of this subject.”
