Li Fuchen reached out and pressed his hand on the bone frame stone.
At the next moment, the bone frame stone emitted white light and had stunned everyone.
3-star bone frame?
A new cadet who severely injured Xu Lin with a single fist actually had a 3-star bone frame.
Luo Yan was also in disbelief. She had always assumed that Li Fuchen had 6-star bone frame, even if he didnât, he should have an extremely heaven-defying 5-star bone frame!
âHaha, a mere 3-star bone frame and still dares to come and participate in the enrollment test.â Zhao Linghua laughed loudly. She finally found the chance to deal a blow to Luo Yan and Li Fuchen, hence, she felt extremely exhilarated.
Wang Heilong, Le Changfeng, and Gao Yue were all frowning.
âWhat is a 3-star bone frame here for? Donât you know that South Forest Martial Institution will only accept cadets with at least 4-star bone frame?â The mentor responsible for the registration was infuriated. A 3-star bone frame didnât even have the qualification to attempt the Clear Sky Tower. The martial institution required cadets with a future of high potential but a 3-star bone frame had no potential to speak of.
âYou can leave.â The mentor placed his brush down and spoke emotionlessly.
âHold on.â Right at this moment, a grey-robed elder instantly appeared.
âAssistant Dean!â The registration mentor quickly stood up.
The grey-robed elder was one of South Forest Martial Institutionâs Assistant Dean.
âGive him a chance. If he can pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower.â The grey-robed elder said.
âFifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower?â
Everyone kept silent. With Li Fuchenâs strength, it was truly possible for him to pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower. At this moment, not even Zhao Linghua could laugh.
âBut Assistant Deanâ¦â The registration mentor was in a difficult position. The South Forest Martial Institution had never made such an exception before.
The grey-robed elder said, âThere is no but. Even if he is a 3-star bone frame, he is an unprecedented 3-star bone frame. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to reach the 8th level of Heaven Dipper Realm at the age of 25.
The elder had the Battle Spirit Realmâs cultivation, how could he not sense Li Fuchenâs true cultivation.
âHe is at the 8th level of Heaven Dipper Realm?â Everyone maintained their doubts. They only knew that Li Fuchenâs body refinement cultivation was formidable.
âYoung man, you are in luck. I shall help you to dispel the variant qi!â
The grey-robed elder opened up his right palm and placed it on Li Fuchen before siphoning abruptly.
Blaze!
Immediately after, Li Fuchenâs body burst out with extremely ferocious flaming qi. The flaming qi permeated through his body and was absorbed into the grey-robed elderâs palm.
The qi from a peak level Reincarnation Realm expert was just a childâs play to the grey-robed elder. If the elder wanted to dispel it, it was as easy as blowing off some dust.
âIt is dispelled just like this?â Li Fuchenâs eyes contracted.
The flaming qi had been troubling him for several months and Li Fuchen originally planned to cultivate an earth class cultivation technique in order to slowly dispel the flaming qi. He didnât expect it to be settled in an instant. He couldnât adapt to this situation as it was just too sudden.
After losing the suppression from the flaming qi, Li Fuchenâs true inferno qi started to circulate and the qi presence of an 8th level Heaven Dipper Realm was emitted.
âHe is truly at the 8th level of Heaven Dipper Realm.â The registration mentor had a bizarre expression.
It was undoubtedly extremely heaven-defying to reach the 8th level of Heaven Dipper Realm before at the age of 25. But what was the matter with having 3-star bone frame?
âYoung man, donât be too happy yet. I allow you to attempt the Clear Sky Tower but only with your qi cultivation strength. I will seal up your body refinement strength. When your qi cultivation reaches the Reincarnation Realm, your body refinement cultivation will be automatically unsealed.â
âStrength lock.â The grey-robed elder flicked his finger at Li Fuchen and a silver-colored extraordinary qi force instantly buried into Li Fuchenâs body.
This qi force was just like a magnet and also like chains. As soon as it entered Li Fuchenâs body, it immediately pulled Li Fuchenâs qi power and dragon elephant power. In the blink of the eye, the silver qi force acted as a hub that isolated Li Fuchenâs qi power and his dragon elephant power.
Li Fuchen attempted to activate his qi power and dragon elephant power, but he realized that they didnât react at all. They had been completely restrained by the silver qi force.
âSuch a terrifying qi power control method.â Li Fuchen was astonished.
To have such control over qi power, what exactly was the grey-robed elderâs body refinement strength at?
Since the Assistant Dean mentioned to give Li Fuchen a chance, the registration mentor had to comply. In his opinion, it was nearly impossible for Li Fuchen to pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower.
The opponent on the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower was a class 4 demon formed by the formation array. The class 4 demon was even more horrific than regular class 4 demons. If the cadet didnât have elite attributes in all aspects, it was basically impossible to defeat it.
The mentor thought that Li Fuchen might just be lucky and had obtained some heaven-defying treasure that allowed him to progress so quickly with his cultivation.
âRelying on qi strength to pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower. Isnât that too demanding?!â Luo Yan was anxious as she had never seen Li Fuchenâs qi strength before.
âHe will never make it.â Zhao Linghua prayed silently.
Wang Heilong, Le Changfeng, and the others were shaking their heads. If Li Fuchen could make use of his body refinement strength, he would probably pass. But if he could only use his qi strength, it was impossible.
The bone frame test ended quickly.
Finally, the registration mentor announced, âFor this year, there is a total of three 6-star bone frames, thirty-eight 5-star bone frames. These forty-one individuals will immediately enroll as the martial institutionâs cadets. Our South Forest Martial Institution will only accept 100 cadets every year, the rest of the fifty-nine places will depend on your hard work. We will pick the fastest fifty-nine individuals who passed the second floor of the Clear Sky Tower. If less than 59 individuals pass the second floor of the Clear Sky Tower, we still wouldnât lower our standard.â
In previous years, there were many instances when the 100 places quota wasnât filled. But it didnât matter, as the South Forest Martial Institution didnât need people to fill up numbers.
The Clear Sky Tower was located at an upland in the middle of the mountain. There was a green tower that had five floors.
âYou shall attempt first! I forget to tell you if you can pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower, you wouldnât just become a cadet of the martial institution, you can even pick an earth class low-tier martial arts from the Secret Manual Tower. Do your best.â The grey-robed elder smiled and said to Li Fuchen.
âFuchen will not disappoint Assistant Dean.â Li Fuchen stepped into the Clear Sky Tower.
The formation array on the first floor lit up and a demonic beast was formed. It immediately lunged at Li Fuchen.
Pfff!
The demonic beast crumbled and Li Fuchen moved onto the second floor.
âSuch speed!â
Outside the Clear Sky Tower, everyone saw that the second floor lit up in a blink of the eye. It meant that Li Fuchen instantly killed the first floorâs opponent.
âInstantly killing the first floorâs opponent doesnât mean anything. The later floors are more important.â
There were people who werenât convinced.
Just as the second floorâs demonic beast was successfully formed, Li Fuchen had instantly killed it too.
The third floor lit up, then it was the fourth floor.
âIsnât this speed too fast?!â Everyone was shocked.
Among the outer institute cadets, once they passed the third floor of the Clear Sky Tower, they would be promoted to elite cadets.
The fourth floorâs light got extinguished and the fifth floor lit up.
Sss!
Everyone took a cold breath and didnât dare to say anything else. Li Fuchenâs qi strength seemed to be extremely terrifying too. He could even instantly kill the fourth floorâs opponent.
On the fifth floor, a class 4 demon was formed.
The class 4 demon was undoubtedly the pinnacle existence in its realm. It was even stronger than class 4 peak-tier demonic beasts. Furthermore, this class 4 demon formed by the formation array was extremely hard to deal with. With support from the array, unless the class 4 demon was utterly crumbled, it would be impossible to defeat it.
But to Li Fuchen, this was nothing.
True Inferno Technique, Inferno Sword Art, Mystic Heaven Sword Art, 5-star secret technique⦠Li Fuchen had cultivated everything to the perfection stage or rank. If he couldnât even deal with a class 4 demon, it would truly be a joke.
The class 4 demon roared and rushed at Li Fuchen. The demon qi simulated by the formation array was ghastly and awe-inspiring.
âThere is no need to conceal anymore.â
If Li Fuchen wanted to deal with this class 4 demon without his secret technique, he would need to put in a lot of effort.
But Li Fuchen didnât intend to hold back.
After activating the 5-star secret technique, Shadow of Scarlet, Li Fuchenâs body formed a scarlet and blood-like shadow.
The blacklight sword was drawn and brandished by Li Fuchen.
Pfff!
A head flew up while the class 4 demon was instantly crumbled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the outside, everyone was speechless when the fifth floorâs light had extinguished.
There were some who didnât know what was happening and had asked, âDid he pass if the fifth floorâs formation array had extinguished?â
âIf he passed, the formation array will extinguish instantly. If he didnât pass, it will extinguish gradually. He has passed.â One of the outer institute cadets replied.
âTsk tsk, incredible. His body refinement strength is so powerful, but so is his qi strength. His is formidable in both qi and body refinement cultivation!â
In the Seven Color Continent, there were a rare few individuals who cultivated in both the qi and body refinement. Most of them were using body refinement as a supplement.
It was mainly due to the limits of oneâs stamina. Moreover, the body refinement path had an extremely high demand for resources. The further the progress, the higher the demand. There would definitely be a time when one would stagnate.
âWell done young man. I have underestimated you.â The grey-robed elder smiled.
After passing the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower in such a short time, no one would have anything else to say.
âInteresting, truly interesting.â Wang Heilong rubbed his chin while his eyes flashed with interest.
Le Changfeng and Gao Yueâs had grave expressions. They believed that their extent of dealing with the class 4 demon was almost the same level as Li Fuchen.
âHe is Li Fuchen indeed.â Luo Yan let out a breath of relief.
Be it body refinement strength or qi strength, Li Fuchen was at the peak. Earlier on, she was still rather worried.
After Li Fuchen exited, everyone started to enter for the test, including the individuals who had already qualified as cadets.
After all, outer institute cadets were also separated by grades. Those that could pass the third floor would become elite cadets, and elite cadets had much better treatment than normal cadets. After passing the fifth floor, cadets would be able to pick an earth class low-tier martial arts. This was everyoneâs target.
Ultimately, only four individuals passed the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower. They were Li Fuchen, Wang Heilong, Le Changfeng, and Gao Yue.
No one else made it passed the fourth floor, while there were quite a few that passed the third floor.
There were plenty who passed the second floor. Excluding those who were already outer institute cadets, there were more than 60 individuals who passed the second floor. After picking 58 with the fastest time, the rest were eliminated.
Those who were accepted as outer institute cadets were issued with cadet emblems.
Normal cadets were given normal emblems, elite cadets were given elite emblems.
Apart from the three individuals with 6-star bone frames, the rest of the people had to pay enrollment fees. The annual fee was extremely expensive, costing 300 low-grade spirit stones.
But in order to develop further and learn earth class martial arts and cultivation techniques, all these werenât problems.
