Hundreds of people gathered together, all discussing last night's events.

  Fortunately, the arrows were not shot at their tent, otherwise they would have been dead long ago.

  "This is also too terrible, within the Imperial Academy, someone openly wants to assassinate us. If this matter is known to the higher-ups of the Imperial Academy, it will definitely cause a shock."

  Feng Bingxuan's death is not the main point.

  The focus is on their safety, which has been threatened. This is the Imperial Academy, and before they have even officially joined, their lives are already in danger. It will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Imperial Academy.

  After all, who was it that came to assassinate in the middle of the night, like a riddle, definitely not Liu Wuxie, he wouldn't conspire against himself, there must be someone else.

  "Could it be Xue Pinzhi?"

  Yesterday afternoon, Xue Pinzhi wanted to kill Liu Wuxie, but Chen Le Yao stepped forward to stop him. Possibly harboring a grudge, he came to assassinate him in the middle of the night.

  "It's impossible, even if Xue Pinzhi wanted to kill him, he would have used someone else to do it. He wouldn't have come here himself in the middle of the night and let the academy catch him red-handed."

  It will soon be overthrown by others and replaced with normal people. They won't come themselves either, they must pretend to be someone else.

  There were all sorts of rumors and speculations, with some true and some false, making it impossible to tell who really wanted to kill Liu Wuxie.

  Everyone present is under suspicion and cannot be ruled out as a suspect.

  The sun was high in the sky, and Fan Ye Ping led Xue Pinzhi and Chen Le Yao onto the martial arena, where the thick smell of blood still lingered.

  The tent was taken down and Feng Bingxian's body was carried out and laid flat on the ground.

  On his neck, apart from a knife wound, there was also an arrow, shot from the back of his head, directly piercing through his entire throat, killing him instantly.

  "Who killed him?" Fan Ye shouted loudly.

  The Imperial Academy assessment, how could it lead to loss of life, this has never happened in previous years.

  The surroundings were quiet and still, with no one responding, nor did they know how to respond. The person just died like that, and after dying, they were even robbed once more.

  Xue Pinzhi stood in the distance, hearing that someone had died, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a triumphant look on his face. He didn't know yet that Feng Bingquan was dead and thought the corpse lying on the ground was Liu Wuxie.

  After waiting for about a few minutes, someone came forward and recounted the events of last night in detail, without adding any embellishments. With so many people present, it was impossible to fabricate anything.

  Yesterday's assessment, Chen Le Yao should have reported to Fan Ye Ping as it was, including the matter between Xue Pinzhi and Liu Wuxie.

  Xue Pinzhi and Chen Leyao are both students of Fan Yepeng. As long as they don't go too far, Fan Yepeng generally won't pursue the matter.

  The news spread throughout the martial arts arena, Xue Pinzhi stood far away, and the voices of conversation on this side were heard clearly. His body swayed, took a few steps forward, glanced at Feng Bingquan who had already stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

  Similar disputes over tents have occurred in previous years, and it is rare for them to result in loss of life.

  Fan Ye Ping's gaze fell on Liu Wu Xie, at this time, Liu Wu Xie walked down from the giant stone and stopped his cultivation.

  "You're the one who killed him!" A flash of anger darted through Fan Ye's eyes.

  No matter what, if someone dies at Imperial College, they have to give their family an explanation, can't just die here for no reason.

  "Yes!"

  No excuses, no refutations, a single word bluntly stated his subjective consciousness, people... are what I kill.

  Some sneered, some sighed, acknowledging that meant accepting the wrath of the Imperial Academy, they were all examinees and should be protected by the academy.

  "Why did you have to kill him!"

  Fan Ye Ping suppressed the anger in his heart, Liu Wu Xie was first in the ten-mile-long street assessment, with an extraordinary talent, but it's not that because of his high talent, he can do whatever he wants and kill people at will.

  "Because he wanted to kill me!"

  Liu Wuxie's answer was calm and simple. Feng Bingquan wanted to kill him, but he just defended himself, no problem at all.

  "You may not know that you killed an Imperial Academy examinee. Now I can strip your examination identity and expel you from the academy."

  Fan Ye Ping finally had to take action. According to the school's rules, Liu Wu Xie killing an examinee should have resulted in his expulsion.

  It's strange that when Fan Ye Ping said this, Liu Wu Xie didn't get angry, but instead showed a hint of mockery.

  "I counter-asked the instructor, is everyone's safety guaranteed? Isn't this a mistake of the college? I was right in killing him, but... how do you explain this?"

  Liu Wuxie pointed at the arrow on Feng Bingkui's neck and let out a cold laugh.

  Righteous words and justifiable arguments almost choked Fan Yepeng.

  Liu Wuxie was right, among the more than 500 assessment students present, even the most basic safety could not be guaranteed, and they were assassinated at night. If this matter gets out, what's left of the Imperial Academy's reputation?

  As for him killing Feng Bingquan, it was just a mutual struggle. If we really investigate, the Imperial Academy is also mainly responsible. During the assessment, the instructor left and did not take good safety measures, leaving more than 500 people in the martial arts arena to act on their own, which was a big mistake.

  Young and vigorous, with mutual friction, it's normal, didn't the Imperial Academy consider these issues?

  This matter has blown up and is detrimental to everyone. The first person to be held accountable will be Fan Yeping for dereliction of duty.

  The assessment of the students was ambushed, and this matter is too big, others are also worried, fortunately, the arrow shot into Liu Wuxie's tent, if it was shot on their tent, now they would be lying here like Feng Bingquan.

  People around pointed and criticized, many even thought of quitting the Imperial Academy's assessment, didn't expect that there wasn't even this basic safety measure.

  This point Tianmu College is far better than Imperial College, they later surpassed, vaguely has a trend of surpassing Imperial College.

  Many people who think they can't get into Imperial College will naturally say some unfavorable words about it.

  "Please give me a reasonable explanation, teacher. If even the most basic safety can't be guaranteed, what's the point of joining the Imperial Academy? Does everyone agree?"

  Liu Wuxie continued to ask back, this remark, drew support from half of the people, after all more than half of the people would still be eliminated miserably, and had no sense of belonging to the Imperial Academy.

  "Right, who can guarantee our safety? Will we die mysteriously during the assessment?"

  Many people have come out to support Liu Wuxie, who was disliked last night because his realm is not very high, yet he took down the first place in Shili Changjie, making many people feel jealous.

  The situation is different now, someone wants to kill them, must stand up and find out the mastermind.

  "Kid, you'd better stop talking nonsense. In my opinion, it must be that you offended someone, which is why they came to kill you in the middle of the night. Why didn't they kill others?"

  Xue Pinzhi took a step forward, pointing at Liu Wuxie, "This matter has nothing to do with the Imperial Academy, it's your personal vendetta."

  "Oh, so Master Xue told me that I offended someone?" Liu Wuxie suddenly had a harmless look on his face and smiled at Xue Pinzhi.

  Many people showed a strange expression, Xue Pinzhi stood out at this time, making it clear that there was no silver here, everyone knew that you two had a grudge against each other yesterday, and the suspicion of killing Liu Wuxie was the greatest.

  "I have no idea who you've offended, maybe it's someone from Tianmu Academy who wants to kill you."

  Xue Pinzhi realized his slip of the tongue and hastily corrected himself, meaning to tell everyone that he wanted to kill him, but would absolutely not assassinate.

  "Mentor, I also suspect that it's the people from Tianmu Academy who are behind this. Feng Bingquan may have already been bought over by them and is intentionally destroying our Imperial Academy's talents. With last night's sneak attack, it's probably their doing."

  Chen Leyao suddenly walked out and bowed to Fan Ye Ping, this remark was reasonable.

  Liu Wuxie's ten-mile-long street assessment ranked first. Tianmu College would not allow Imperial College to absorb talented seedlings, so the best solution was to secretly kill him.

  In addition to their conflicts during the day, looking back on it now, everyone nodded in agreement that Chen Le Yao was right.

  Everyone knows that Chen Leyao is giving Fan Yepeng a step down and continuing to make trouble, which is not good for anyone.

  The person is already dead, and everyone has no relatives or friends. At most, they will mourn for a while. It's really not worth it to accept the college's high-level investigation just for a dead person. Fan Yepeng is not a fool, so it's just a symbolic questioning.

  All responsibilities were shifted onto Tianmu College, and this ending can be said to be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

  The final verdict was that Feng Bingquan was bought by Tianmu College and had ulterior motives for assessing the students of the Imperial College, and was killed.

  This matter is now settled, and we will proceed with the assessment.

  Many people still don't get it, and that's how things end?

  Only a very few people gave Liu Wuxie a deep and meaningful glance, everyone knew in their hearts that he had nothing to do with the Tianmu Academy.

  Continuous rhetorical questions turned the situation around, even the usually eloquent instructor was left speechless, this young man is not ordinary.

  Xue Pinzi gave a fierce glare at Liu Wuxie. He didn't die, which means last night's plan failed. This matter must not be leaked out under any circumstances.

  "Thanks Miss Chen for standing up for me and helping me out of this situation. Including yesterday's incident, I now owe you two favors."

  The crowd dispersed, preparing for today's assessment, leaving only Liu Wuxie and Chen Leyao.

  Liu Wuxie's continuous refutation left Fan Yeping with no face to spare, and Chen Leyao suddenly stood up, which was most appropriate. Xue Pinzhi couldn't help Liu Wuxie speak at all.

  The only one who can help Liu Wuxie now is Chen Le Yao.

  "I'm just telling the truth, get ready, the second test is about to start!"

  Chen Le Yao smiled slightly and wasn't too concerned. She didn't want to miss out on such a good seedling like Liu Wu Xie.

  No matter what, this emotional debt will be remembered in my heart. If there's a chance to repay it slowly in the future, then that's all for the better. Having one more friend can't hurt anything.

  The assessment on the second day was even simpler. Deep in the square stood a huge pillar, which none of the three could encircle with their arms. This should be a test of strength and innate talent.

  Yesterday's assessment was all basic stuff, with a hint of cheating, many people relied on their physical strength and basically passed the first test.

  Today is different. Innate talent can't be made up for with just physical strength. This pillar is called the Testing Pillar, and it's crafted using special crystals that not only test one's power but also various attributes.
