"I haven't even entered the Seventh Holy Institute yet, I haven't received the legacy of the saints, and you're telling me to leave the institute like this? I'm not willing!" A proud young man's face was full of unwillingness.

  "Isn't it said that students of the Holy Institute do not enter the Cultivation Realm and will not leave the Holy Institute? We have not yet become sect masters, why should we be allowed to leave the Holy Institute?" A student with a resolute expression directly looked at Master Chen Jingxuan and asked.

  Chen Jingxuan smiled faintly and said, "The Holy Institute is not a high-ranking cultivation sect that looks down on others. The purpose of the Holy Institute is to cultivate top-notch individuals for the Eastern Imperial Dynasty. Every three years, twenty-four students from the Holy Institute are sent to various parts of the Eastern Imperial Dynasty. As for those students who have not entered the realm of cultivation and were sent to various parts of the dynasty, they do not have the face to say that they are students of the Holy Institute, which has led outsiders to misunderstand that students of the Holy Institute must become cultivators before leaving the institute. In fact, there are countless half-step Saint-level martial artists and literary masters who have been sent out by the Holy Institute. Huang Chao, the general of the Eastern Imperial Dynasty's military department, Lu Tu, the official of the political department, and Suo Lu, the first-class imperial guard minister, were all new students at the Holy Institute in their youth. Within a year, they failed to become Saints and enter the Seven Holy Institutes, so they were sent to the military department, the political department, and the imperial palace. Through their own efforts, they became famous throughout the Eastern Imperial Dynasty. In fact, they are all students of the Holy Institute, but they did not have the face to say that they are students of the Holy Institute because they failed to enter the Seven Holy Institutes and receive the legacy of the seven Saints."

  "General Huang Chao was actually a student of the Holy Institute, I followed General Huang in the military department for a year, he never mentioned that he had entered the Holy Institute." A young general from the military department whispered to his partner.

  "The Minister of Rikuto is a famous clean stream, known as the eternal remonstrance minister. I really didn't expect that he was also a student of Seiin." A young man from the Ministry of Government exclaimed.

  "Suo Lu is the mentor of Tang Li and Tang Feng, and can cultivate two Shengyuan students. The Minister of Imperial Guards who was also a student of Shengyuan is indeed talented." The newcomers couldn't help but praise, if Tang Feng and Tang Li were here, they would be shocked to hear their master's words. They followed Suo Lu for five years, yet didn't know that their mentor was once a student of Shengyuan.

  "Go to the Evil Peng Island, the blood and meat of the evil peng are excellent supplements for Wu Wang or Wen Wang to upgrade to a master. As long as you have the ability to hunt and eat the evil peng, even if you are currently a 16th-grade Wu Wang, you will have the opportunity to become a master within three months. I was promoted from a 16th-grade Wu Wang to a master in just three months on the Evil Peng Island." Su Dongmo encouraged the new students with his personal experience.

  Su Daolin, Fang Xueqin and the sixteen martial arts kings or literary kings looked better after hearing Su Dongmo's words. If Su Shi can create miracles, they can also create miracles.

  "On Peng's back, go!"

  Chen Jingxuan and Su Dongmo each mounted a four-winged golden Peng, urging the newborns to climb onto the back of the golden Peng.

  Sixteen newborns swarmed onto the backs of two four-winged golden peng birds.

  Two four-winged golden peng birds flapped their wings and flew towards the blue sky.

  The newborns on the Golden Roc's back had to exert a skill similar to that of a thousand-pound drop in order to stand steadily on the Golden Roc's back, without being thrown off by the Golden Roc.

  A small black dot in the distance gradually grew larger, and that island was Devil Bird Island.

  Two four-winged golden Pengs approached the Evil Peng Island, flying lower and lower until they landed tightly on the surface of the sea.

  The island of E'peng is covered with towering trees that stretch up to the sky, and even a casual glance reveals trees that are at least ten zhang tall, a sight that newcomers have never seen before.

  Two masters let the newcomers fall on the island one after another, and then drove two four-winged golden peng to fly towards Sheng Dao.

  "We sixteen people are divided into eight groups, in principle one strong person brings one weak person." Yung Yao swept a glance at the freshmen and said.

  "Rong Yao, let's be a team." A bright and cheerful girl walked up to Rong Yao's side and said softly.

  "Zhang Qiong is actually paired with Rong Yao. Zhang Qiong is the beloved daughter of Zhang Zong, the head of the Zhang clan." A student whispered out the girl's identity.

  In the Dongtu Huang Dynasty, people with the surname Zhang accounted for nearly one-tenth of the population. The leaders of the Zhang clan established the Zhang Clan Association, which had a huge influence and was composed of renowned individuals with the surname Zhang. In the Dongtu Huang Dynasty, it was a force to be reckoned with, even surpassing the power of an ancient aristocratic family.

  Zhang Qiong's father is the current president of the Zhang Clan Association, famous throughout the Eastern Dynasty. President Zhang is also one of the top ten richest merchants in the Eastern Dynasty, and like Li Taibai, the founder of Taibai Wine Tower, he is a prominent figure in the business world.

  "Good!" Yung Yao nodded at Zhang Qiong.

  "Xueqin, you and I are both Wen Wang, it's not suitable for us to team up together." Xu Zhi Xiong looked at Fang Xueqin who was carrying a qin.

  Fang Xueqin's moving smile, looking at Su Daowei: "Daowei, let's form a team."

  "Good!" Su Dao Xing had a good impression of Xue Qin and immediately agreed.

  Su Daoxing and Fang Xueqin formed a group, Rong Yao and Zhang Qiong formed a group, Tang Qingsong and Qi Qiguang formed a group, Xu ZhiXiong and a half-step master Wu Wang formed a group. The sixteen people quickly divided into eight groups.

  Everyone sat cross-legged under a towering tree.

  Fang Xueqin put down her lute and plucked a few strings.

  Wow!

  A strong gust of wind swept across the sky, and a dark green bird swooped down towards the location of the sixteen students, its dark green wings fluttering wildly.

  "Fang Xueqin's zither strings attracted a crow." A female student exclaimed.

  The students gazed at the swooping blue evil crane and grasped their own weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

  Su Dao woke up and stood in front of Fang Xueqin, his tall figure shielding her slender body. He gazed at the swooping evil crane, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.

  "Go!" Su Dao Xing controlled the yin-yang fish shuttle to fly out of the sea of consciousness, transforming into two cold lights that shot towards the wings of the evil Peng in the sky.

  Pfft!

  The yin-yang fish arrow pierced through the azure wings of the evil Peng, and in an instant, azure Peng blood splattered from the wound on its wings.

  The azure vulture's wings were pierced through, and it plunged headfirst downwards, crashing into a cluster of rocks, creating a massive crater.

  The azure wyrm opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of azure flames that nearly incinerated the newborns.

  Whoosh!

  Su Dao Xing manipulated the yin-yang fish-shaped arrow to dive down, making a slash around the neck of the green evil Peng, causing the head and body of the green evil Peng to separate.

  "What a formidable arrow, it's killing the evil roc as easily as killing a little chicken."

  "Those two fish-shaped daggers are probably spiritual weapons of the Lingbing class."

  "Sudao Xing is indeed worthy of being the sixth specially recruited student of Shengyuan, his methods are against the heavens."

  The students witnessed Su Dao Xing's ferocity and their gaze towards him was filled with a hint of fear.

  "Has the gap between him and me become so large?" Su Dao thought of the scene where Su Dao woke up and killed Peng with a single arrow, and a hint of despair arose in his heart.

  He used to be the center of attention, Su Dao Xing wasn't even worthy of tying his shoes. But now, he doesn't even have the qualifications to tie Su Dao Xing's shoes. With such a huge disparity, how could he not feel utterly hopeless?
