Three figures emerged from afar, rapidly approaching from the direction of the Imperial Academy.

  This ten-mile-long street leads directly to the Imperial Academy, and the first test is related to this street.

  An old man, followed by a boy and a girl. The boy is handsome, the girl is beautiful and slender, attracting countless gazes as soon as they appear. They are all students of the Imperial Academy, with considerable strength, at the second-grade Washing Spirit Realm, likely just over twenty years old.

  "Si Kongnan, you're getting more and more out of line, daring to hurt someone right in front of our Empire Academy."

  An old man's voice was icy cold, standing ten meters away from Liu Wuxie, a chilling aura spread throughout the entire square.

  A man and a woman behind him showed angry faces, which is equivalent to slapping the Imperial Academy in the face, it's too shameless.

  Refusing to comply would lead to bloodshed and damage to the Imperial Academy's reputation.

  "Fan Yeping, I'm just cleaning up the trash for you. This kind of scum doesn't even qualify to join your Imperial Academy, so I'll just get rid of him. That's not excessive, is it?"

  The old man with a hawk-like nose was called Si Kong Nan. In his eyes, Liu Wu Xie was completely just making up the numbers. His innate five-element boundary wasn't very low, but compared to many geniuses, it would be too difficult for him to join the Imperial Academy.

  Liu Wu's eyebrows furrowed, he seemed to have offended no one, yet was repeatedly ridiculed.

  Others looked at Liu Wuxie with a mixture of head-shaking and snickering, indeed the First Heaven Fifth Realm was not high.

  Xu Lingxue had already reached the Seventh Heaven of Innate when he joined the Imperial Academy, and his innate talent was extremely high. More than a month has passed, and it's estimated that he has already reached the Eighth Heaven of Innate or even higher.

  "Si Kong Nan, hurry up and leave this place. If you don't go now, don't blame me for being impolite." Fan Ye Ping glanced at Liu Wu Xie, but didn't show much expression.

  Liu Wuxie Tianfu looked ordinary, wearing a light blue long gown that had been washed until it was white, and following many geniuses who wore gorgeous clothes, he seemed like an ordinary person from the countryside.

  No wonder Fan Ye Ping didn't have high expectations for Liu Wu Xie, the first five lines had a slim chance, but it wasn't big. The Imperial Academy's assessment was extremely strict, and boundaries were not the only consideration, comprehensive quality also needed to be assessed.

  "Let's go!"

  The Imperial Academy mentor has appeared, and if this continues, neither side will benefit.

  Sikong Nan took them two out, walking towards the outside, and received more than a dozen geniuses, without any harvest.

  "Kid, consider yourself lucky. Once you're eliminated from the Imperial Academy, I'll come looking for you to settle the score and make you understand the consequences of refusing our Tianmu Academy."

  Gu Yunpeng let out a sinister laugh and left behind a ruthless remark before departing.

  Following Si Kong Nan's disappearance into the crowd, from start to finish, no one came forward to help Liu Wu Xie, not even the Imperial Academy.

  It was Fan Ye who stood up and looked at the woman behind him. Ah Liu Wuxie looked over and saw a hint of unusual color in her beautiful eyes.

  If it were an ordinary person, being threatened by the Tianmu Academy would definitely show a hint of panic. Strangely, not a single hint could be seen on Liu Wuxie's face, whether it was someone from the Tianmu Academy or the Imperial Academy who appeared, Liu Wuxie always maintained a very calm expression.

  This is quite unusual, what exactly makes him so confident.

  Fan Ye Ping led a man and a woman to the depths of the square, where there was a platform over five meters high in the middle. After the three of them stood on it, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

  "The annual Imperial Academy assessment is about to begin. Due to some incidents that occurred in the academy, I arrived a step late, allowing Tianmu Academy to take the lead, resulting in some unpleasant events. On behalf of the Imperial Academy, I apologize to everyone. Enrolled students, please come forward and accept the first round of assessment."

  Fan Ye Ping's voice was loud and clear, even if he stood several thousand meters away, it could be heard clearly. Liu Wu Xie just stood at the farthest point and didn't get any closer.

  Upon hearing the news of the assessment, the crowd erupted into waves of excited cheers, many people having waited for this day for far too long.

  The Imperial Academy has strict rules. If you are over 22 years old, you will no longer be qualified to join the academy. Many people get stuck at this age and if they can't join this year, they will have no hope for life.

  "The first checkpoint is the same as last year. This is the starting point, and you need to reach the entrance of the Imperial Academy within three hours. The first checkpoint has been cleared, and now it's time for the second one."

  Fan Ye Ping finished speaking and nodded towards a man and woman behind him.

  Two people jumped off the stage and walked to both sides of the road, a strange energy enveloped the ten-mile-long street.

  This long street leads all the way to Imperial College, which is not built in the imperial capital city but rather deep in the mountains of the imperial capital.

  "How interesting, it's actually an array formation!" A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Liu Wuxie's mouth.

  The entire long street was covered with an array of laws, but it wasn't very fierce. The main purpose was that the array released a constant stream of pressure. Those who entered to take the test didn't feel it at first, but as time passed, the pressure would become greater and greater.

  This is the most basic assessment, testing a person's patience and potential. Those who are insufficient in strength will be eliminated at the first hurdle.

  "By the way, I forgot to mention that this year's assessment is a bit special. Whoever gets first place will receive a special reward: ten days of cultivation in the Flame Sun Cave, plus a fourth-grade elixir and a complete set of Xuan-level martial skills."

  Before everyone entered the Long Street, Fan Yepeng said a sentence.

  What is the concept of Xuanji Wujiquan?

  In the True Martial Continent, the cultivation methods and martial techniques are divided into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. The Heaven rank is the highest, while the Yellow rank is the lowest. In the 36 cities, most small families cultivate Yellow rank cultivation methods and martial techniques. Only the large families in the Imperial City cultivate Xuan rank martial techniques and cultivation methods. As for the Earth rank, it only appears in those great sects. The Heaven rank is limited to legends.

  The Huang Jie Gong Fa cultivation has reached the peak of Xiāo Líng, only the Xuan Jie Gong Fa can cultivate to Xiāo Suǐ.

  Martial arts are no exception, the higher the level, the stronger the lethality, and the more levels can be challenged!

  What rank is the Taohu Tian Jue? Even Liu Wuxie wasn't clear about it; it far exceeded the Xianjing Gongfa.

  Wait a moment!

  The scene was in an uproar, with countless people celebrating each other as if they had already won first place.

  "The reward is quite high, in previous years the first place winner would at most receive some medicinal pellets and martial techniques, but this year it's actually a ten-day cultivation trip to the Flame Sun Cave. I'll risk my life for it, I must get first place."

  Many people are itching to move, with green light bursting out of their eyes, each rubbing their fists and palms, relying solely on the elixir and martial skills, enough to drive many people crazy, that's a fourth-grade elixir, a mysterious stage martial skill! Put it in Canglan City, it can be used as a treasure for the town.

  "Give up, this year's first place is none other than Bai Yu of Pingling City. He has already broken through to the Washing Spirit Realm, who dares to compete with him?"

  A basin of cold water was poured down, and many people put down their flags and drums, hanging their heads in shame. They still tried to join the academy, but as for being first, they didn't dare hope for it.

  "That's not necessarily true, Yu Yifan from Huacheng has also reached the state of washing his spirit, both of them have a chance."

  "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will give it my all. That's the Flame Cave, where pure Yang energy is stored. Practicing for one day inside is equivalent to one month outside. Most importantly, absorbing the pure Yang energy can change your physique and grant you an extremely strong innate talent."

  This is the most important thing, no wonder it caused so many people to go crazy.

  Liu Wuxie's ears perked up, and the elixir and martial skills were of little use to him. The pure yang energy was too important for him now, much faster than absorbing the yuan yang dan.

  He came to the Imperial Academy, wasn't it for resources? A great opportunity is right in front of him, how can he miss it.

  Tai Ah Tian's cultivation method consumes too much spiritual energy every day, it's terrifying. If I can enter the Flame Sun Cave to cultivate, it would be a good choice.

  Everyone was eager to discuss the kung fu, but someone had already taken a step ahead and entered the ten-mile-long street.

  In the blink of an eye, several thousand examinees entered the Long Street one after another, and Liu Wuxie was no exception. He followed the crowd, trailing far behind, without any hurry.

  Three time periods for assessment, with plenty of time, the real assessment should be in the last time period.

  "You two keep an eye on things, I'll head back first and come over again when it's time for the second assessment tomorrow!"

  Fan Ye Ping instructed a man and a woman behind him and then turned around to leave.

  "Farewell, teacher!"

  A man and a woman bowed their heads and saw off Fan Ye Ping as he returned to the college. The two of them took on the role of examiners, with the first round being relatively simple and not requiring the instructor to follow along for the entire time.

  "Princess Le Yao, you can rest for a while, I'm here!"

  After Fan Ye Ping left, the young man's face was filled with smiles as he fawned on the beautiful woman beside him.

  "No need to say more, many things have happened in the academy recently. This assessment hopes to bring out some geniuses, or else the reputation of our Imperial Academy will continue to decline."

  The beautiful woman seemed unimpressed and turned away.

  A young man stood still, a smile on his face gradually solidifying, and in the depths of his eyes, a sharp aura flashed.

  "Master Ping, this is a letter from the master of the house for you, please make sure to complete the task."

  At this time, a man dressed as a guard rushed over, bowed to the young man, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

  "I know, you can go down now!"

  The young man took a glance at the ten-mile-long street, and the first batch of troops had already walked several hundred meters away. With no one around, he unfolded the letter.

  "Pay attention, this time there's a person named Liu Wu Xie in the assessment, you must prevent him from joining the Imperial Academy. If possible, kill him."

  A few words, signed below is Xue Dingtian, the current head of the Xue family in Imperial City, with power and influence that knows no bounds.

  On the back of the letter is a portrait, which is vivid and lifelike, just like the real person.

  "It was actually him!" The young man showed a hint of surprise.

  If it were someone else, the young man might not have recognized him, but this portrait was too familiar to him. He was invited by the Tianmu Academy students and almost got into a fight, but they appeared just in time to resolve the crisis.

  "The tiny congenital fivefold realm actually startled the master of the house. Who is this person, and how do they have such great ability to make the family attach so much importance?"

  The young man had no idea about the information regarding Liu Wuxie, and since the master had instructed him to do so, he followed suit, putting the letter into his bosom and closely following behind a woman named Le Yinxiao as they headed towards the Imperial Academy.

  Just as Liu Wuxie had guessed, nothing seemed out of the ordinary during the first watch, and everyone walked and chatted as usual.

  By the second watch, many people started to feel tired and panting, which is just like the principle of boiling a frog in warm water.

  The pressure is slowly increasing in your subconscious, the ten-mile-long street is guarded by an array of methods, this is a pressure array method, the deeper you go, the greater the pressure, after one hour, it has already approached twice the pressure.

  Because people are slowly getting deeper, the pressure is also increasing slowly, so it can't be felt.

  When you realize it, it's already too late. Your body is soaked through, your legs feel like they're filled with lead, and every step feels incredibly difficult.

  Liu Wuxie walked at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow, always keeping to the back of the group.

  His physical body was comparable to the peak of the Spiritual Realm, and this pressure was nothing to him.

  Half a time has passed and some people have already sat down to rest. At this rate, it will be difficult to reach the Imperial Academy in three hours.
