Chapter Fifty-One Report

  Three days later

  Xiao Chen, who had been constantly cultivating at the Castro Inn, opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and walked out of the Gathering Spirit Array.

  In three days, I was driving out the impurities in my body, washing my marrow and strengthening my tendons, tempering my internal organs. My actual strength hadn't changed much, but my body's flexibility, intensity, energy, and physical power had all increased significantly. My hands now possessed at least 200-300 jin of strength, enough to easily break someone's bones with a single strike.

  He took a glance at the Dennox specter floating beside him and thought to himself, "This person hasn't made any unusual moves in three days, quietly staying within the illusion array. It seems he has truly submitted."

  For the past three days, he had been cultivating, but also testing Deno's loyalty. The illusion array was under his control, and every move Deno made was under his scrutiny, which could truly test a person's loyalty. Now it seemed that Deno was still very loyal.

  Therefore, Xiao Chen felt an even greater sense of hidden terror towards the divine contract. If a simple contract could completely control a person's mind, then how powerful would the true divine be? It was likely that with just one thought, he could turn himself into a puppet or an idiot.

  He made no sound, a slight wave of his hand and Denox floated over.

  "Master."

  De Knox bowed his head and said, while also observing Xiao Chen, who was shocked in his heart. At this time, Xiao Chen had changed a bit compared to three days ago.

  This is not an enhancement of magical power or spiritual strength, but rather Xiao Chen's own temperament. His hair fluttered lightly, his skin tone was no longer a dark bronze color, but had become even more delicate and pale, with a subtle luster emanating from it. Those eyes, like black pearls that had been steeped in liquid, were enough to make one forget the world at first sight.

  "Master, what have you been cultivating? How can your temperament change so much in such a short time?"

  Denoix thought to himself, feeling very curious, but didn't dare ask more questions.

  "I'm going to report to the outer courtyard now, if you're hiding inside me, can you guarantee that no one will discover you? If not, then stay here, it should be safe in the inn, no one will casually barge in." Xiao Chen asked.

  "Master, don't worry," De Knox said proudly. "As I said before, I was a nine-star wizard. Although only my soul is left now, hiding in your body, unless it's a great wizard, it's hard to find me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape from the Norsend Empire and come here."

  Xiao Chen thought for a moment, the Norsen Empire was tens of thousands of miles away from the Tian Xing Empire. This person only had one soul left and could still escape to this place, he must have some extraordinary secret methods.

  What is a Grandmaster? A position of immense power, capable of shaking the heavens and overturning the seas, able to establish a great empire.

  Inside Tianxing Academy, there is only one person who can see the head but not the tail of the divine dragon, that is, the old principal. Therefore, it's not necessary to worry about Denox being exposed.

  De Knox suddenly drilled into Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness, turning into a tiny black water droplet, hiding and floating in the gray mist of the sea of consciousness. If it weren't for the spiritual pipeline connected by the contract, even Xiao Chen would have found it difficult to detect.

  He finally felt at ease and picked up a few things before heading out the door.

  Magic Outside Institute

  Xiao Chen rode in the carriage all the way to this place, and after getting off the bus, he asked several people before knowing that the reporting location for freshmen was a milky white, elliptical building.

  A small square outside the white building has already gathered a lot of people.

  These were all people who had passed the external examination three days ago and became new students of Tianxing Academy. Xiao Chen's eyes scanned them, estimating that there were about 300 to 400 people.

  That day, out of tens of thousands of people, only a few hundred were selected. It's not even guaranteed that one person can be chosen from every hundred, which shows how difficult the selection process was. Those present could be said to be, one by one, the pride of heaven.

  These people, each with a self-satisfied expression on their faces, stood in groups of three or five, while some were isolated and alone, forming countless small cliques, waiting for something.

  Xiao Chen walked over and could hear a lot of chatter.

  "Kosuga, you and I are both earth-based martial artists, but your abilities far surpass mine, already nearing the peak of a one-star martial artist. This time, surely you'll be ranked within the top thirty and assigned to an excellent class."

  "It's nothing, Kunta brothers. The academy is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the water is very deep. Even in this external assessment, there are many strong people. When I took the assessment, I saw a two-star law enforcer."

  "Two-star mages! With such abilities, can't you enter the academy with just one star?"

  "These people are not from our preparatory class, but are geniuses who came in from outside to take the exam. They may have been trained elsewhere beforehand and then come to the academy, making a name for themselves with one move."

  "Two-star mages are nothing special, every assessment can produce a dozen or so of these people, far inferior to those mutated magical bodies, I heard that this time, a mutated ice and snow magical body appeared, one in ten thousand, is a true genius."

  "What, Variant Body." Everyone who heard it had a drastic change in expression.

  "This time, in the new ranking, that variant must have taken first place, no one can match it."

  ……

  Xiao Chen walked into the building, and in front of him was a vast hall. The smooth floor was made of glassy stone, with a huge six-pointed star drawn on it. At each corner of the six-pointed star, there were tables, and at the four corners, there were the four major elements: earth, fire, wind, and water. The other two corners also had tables, with several people standing beside them, but Xiao Chen couldn't tell what they were doing.

  Standing behind the table were tutors wearing high-grade law robes, but these tutors were no longer the so-called "tutors" that appeared during the external institute's assessment. Those were just some external institute students acting as temporary tutors. Now, standing here were the true elite of the academy, external institute tutors, each and every one of them a high-ranking law master.

  Everyone's chest is embroidered with seven copper stars, so even if it's a so-called genius who has passed the assessment and entered here, they still hold their breath and concentrate, not daring to show any arrogance.

  Xiao Chen walked to the corner of the Six-angled Star in charge of the wind system. Here, three senior wind system mages stood, the youngest being a young man in his twenties, and two middle-aged men in their thirties.

  However, between them, they inexplicably revered a young man in his twenties.

  "This time, our Wind department doesn't have a single decent person, they're all just newly formed wind vortexes who've just been promoted to law enforcers. Not even one of them is a two-star law enforcer! Look at the Fire department's Su De, didn't he just recruit a few more two-star law enforcers and now he's acting so smug? Earlier, he even came over here to show off his strength, ugh."

  Among them, a middle-aged instructor in his thirties with a very dense beard snorted.

  "Dean Bano, it's not like we have a choice. There are assessments every month. Who knows, maybe next time our Wind Department will get some real geniuses." The young instructor smiled, his face was ordinary, but when he smiled, it was as if the wind blew, elegant and free-spirited, instantly making people feel that he had grasped the essence of the wind.

  "Anthony, you must think so, you're a genius in the inner courtyard, receiving key training from the college. We old guys can only rely on cultivating some excellent students for the college to get some rewards and further our cultivation."

  "Hmm..." Young instructor Anthony smiled and was about to say something.

  "Excuse me, is this where we sign up for the Wind Department?" a voice cut in, interrupting their conversation.

  Three instructors saw a black-haired youth come to the table, his hair tied casually, skin as white as jade, eyes sparkling, looking at them, without a hint of inferiority in front of higher-ranking mages.

  "This student has quite an air about him!"

  It's this kind of temperament that made the three instructors secretly nod in approval. A student, whether they have potential or not, sometimes can be discerned from their appearance.

  "It's here, bring your registration crystal card."

  Bano said, snatching the crystal card from the black-haired youth first, quickly inputting a bit of magic power, some information floated out: "Xiao Chen, One-Star Law Enforcer..."

  "Damn it, another one-star lawyer." Bano was so annoyed that he cursed out loud and threw the crystal card on the table. You call yourself a one-star lawyer, pretending to be a big shot, with such a good-looking appearance.

  The three instructors were all somewhat disappointed, Anthony picked up the crystal card on the table and took another look. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he exclaimed: "No way, how do you have twenty-six times spiritual power!"
