Chapter 94: The Ceremony

"A good-for-nothing, and you dare to tell me to get out?"

Yang Qi, having defeated Gu Fenxian with a single palm strike, stood confidently on the spot, looking at the once arrogant and now retreating Gu Fenxian with a mocking tone.

Although the other party was a member of the ***, Yang Qi was not afraid of the ***.

After reaching the "Life Seizing Realm," he had condensed the Hell Furnace, and his cultivation would advance rapidly. Swallowing demon cores to replenish his life essence, he would not fear any expert.

Moreover, if given time, if he could consecutively seize life several times and comprehend the profound techniques of the "Gate of Hell," he might even be able to contend with the legendary "Crown Prince."

The "Gate of Hell" could summon countless demon gods. If he went all out, he could even transform the human world into hell, forcibly opening a passage between the human world and hell. Of course, such a summoning also carried immense danger.

"You! I will kill you!"

Gu Fenxian, seeing his defeat, almost could not believe it. He had always been proud and overbearing, and now being defeated by someone who had just advanced to the Life Seizing Realm was a great humiliation. He almost immediately became an irreconcilable enemy of Yang Qi.

"Fenxian Diagram!"

In an instant, he roared in anger, and the flame true qi behind him rose, forming a picture. In this picture, the flame smoke turned into deities, each deity being burned by fierce flames. Their faces were not serene but twisted in agony.

"Boy, you actually forced me back. This is a great sin, leaving me with an eternal stain that can never be washed away. From now on, you have no reason to live. I will make you suffer endlessly, unable to seek death or life. You are the first to witness my imperial-level qi technique, the Five Scrolls of Fenxian."

Gu Fenxian's face was grotesque as he continuously channeled his qi technique, almost fighting to the death.

"The Five Scrolls of Fenxian, an imperial-level qi technique! This is not a qi technique from our Tianwei Academy."

"The Gu family is one of the ten great families on the Fertile Continent. It is said that they were once a family of sages, and the Sage Ancestor Dynasty held them in high regard. The Five Scrolls of Fenxian are said to be supreme imperial-level qi techniques, with five scrolls that can burn immortals. However, after countless years, four of the five scrolls have been lost, leaving only one. But it is still a top-notch qi technique with extraordinary power."

"Who is this student? Judging by his attire, he is an outer court student, yet his cultivation is so profound that he could force Gu Fenxian to retreat?"

"Gu Fenxian was careless. Now that he has unleashed the Fenxian Diagram, this student might not be able to resist."

"Both are already Life Seizing Realm experts. The elders of the academy will not let them fight to the death. They will definitely intervene, as each loss is a loss of our academy's elite."

...

The eyes of some student experts sparkled with admiration for Yang Qi.

Only Yun Hailan, with a cold expression, looked at Yang Qi as if trying to see through all his secrets, wondering why his qi technique had advanced so rapidly.

In her original understanding, no matter how talented Yang Qi was, he was just an ordinary person who would not amount to much. Now, he had unexpectedly advanced to the Life Seizing Realm, becoming a rising star and a significant threat to her.

Who was Gu Fenxian?

She knew clearly that he was an elite of the ***, having entered the Life Seizing Realm ten years ago and was poised to achieve the second life seizure. Now, he had been directly defeated by Yang Qi and was forced to use the ultimate techniques of the "Fenxian Scrolls." This was no longer a minor matter and could not be tolerated.

"This cannot continue," Yun Hailan said softly, speaking to herself, unsure if she was referring to Yang Qi or herself.

"Enough!"

Just as Gu Fenxian was about to push the Fenxian Diagram to its limit, an old man stood up in the depths of the Holy Study Hall. He suddenly pointed his finger, and a sharp sword appeared in the picture, slicing through the air.

Rustle!

The entire Fenxian Diagram disintegrated.

The Fenxian true qi returned to Gu Fenxian's body, and in one move, the qi technique was broken.

Yang Qi's heart raced.

"Armament Elder!"

"Armament Elder, do you have something to say?"

"Gu Fenxian, Armament Elder has called a halt. Do not use your qi technique anymore. This boy has dared to barge into the Holy Study Hall, and Armament Elder will punish him. There is no need for us to act."

...

Seeing the old man's move, many people were shocked and quickly tried to dissuade Gu Fenxian.

It was clear that the Armament Elder held a very high status in the entire Tianwei Academy, even Life Seizing Realm experts from the *** did not dare to be overly arrogant.

"Such powerful sword qi. I wonder how many times he has seized life. If I were to release my full qi technique, I wonder if I could resist it," Yang Qi thought to himself.

Although his power was strong, he was not well-versed, so he could not determine the Armament Elder's cultivation level or how many times he had seized life.

"Silence!"

The Armament Elder, who had just acted, scanned the surrounding *** members. "Calm down. Today's matter ends here." He then asked Yang Qi, "What is your name?"

"Reporting to Armament Elder, I am Yang Qi. I have recently advanced to the Life Seizing Realm and have come to pass the examination to become an elite student of the academy."

Yang Qi also answered respectfully.

"Hmm, you indeed have the strength of the Life Seizing Realm. The Invincible King Fist you used earlier is quite powerful. To be able to unleash such a strong attack with an incomplete set of boxing techniques shows exceptional talent. What do you all think?" the Armament Elder looked at the surrounding elders.

"Armament Elder is right. I have also observed this young man for some time. He is indeed at the Life Seizing Realm, and no one can doubt it. However, we should still follow the rules and conduct an inspection," another elder stood up. "Heroic Elder, Yang Elder, Xiong Elder, let's all work together to inspect this young man's dantian and qi sea."

Immediately, several elders stood up, exchanged glances, and nodded.

Buzz!

Each of them extended a gentle force toward Yang Qi.

Yang Qi did not resist but dispersed his true qi, allowing these forces to enter his body and meridians. He knew this was an inspection, and only by passing it would the Tianwei Academy allow him to become an elite student and eventually a high-ranking member of the academy.

The Divine Seal would determine if it was effective at this moment.

There were five elders: the Armament Elder, followed by the Xi Elder, Heroic Elder, Yang Elder, and Xiong Elder.

These five elders were the leaders of the Holy Academy, the vice-principals, who made all major decisions. The principal, the Holy Elder, was in long-term seclusion, studying the legendary arts and had not appeared for a hundred years.

The five elders' true qi penetrated Yang Qi's meridians and then delved into his qi sea, where they "saw" the true qi formed by the Invincible King Fist and the Great Qi Technique of the Golden Bell Shield. The other true qi, such as the Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Technique and the Four Seasons Sword Technique, were sealed and transformed into undetectable particles.

The five elders' true qi carefully probed, moving through the meridians, searching for a moment, finding no abnormalities, and then rising to Yang Qi's head, probing the depths of various acupoints.

Finally, they reached the depths of the Ancestral Aperture between the eyebrows.

Yang Qi's heart raced, fearing that the five elders would discover the golden figure in the depths of his Ancestral Aperture.

However, he soon relaxed, as the five elders' true qi circled around the Ancestral Aperture but could not see the golden figure.

It seemed that the golden figure was not real, existing in a virtual world, visible only to him and not to others.

"Done."

The five elders withdrew their true qi. "Yang Qi, after our inspection, we found no foreign true qi in your body. All the techniques you use are either family secrets or ordinary high-level qi techniques. To reach this level, your talent is extraordinary. We all agree that you can become an elite student."

"Great!"

Li He, Liang Dong, and others outside heard this clearly and could not help but cheer. They knew that this was a final decision, and Yang Qi becoming an elite student of the academy was a certainty.

"Any student who reaches the Life Seizing Realm and passes our inspection, not practicing inhumane demonic techniques or forbidden methods, can become an elite student. This is the principle of our academy," the Armament Elder said. "This promotion ceremony will be held for both Yun Hailan and Yang Qi. Bring them in!"

"Here!"

Several giants emerged from the hall, kneeling before the Armament Elder.

"You, go to the warehouse and fetch the elite student's clothes and token."

"Yes!"

Soon, the giants hurriedly brought out another set of clothes and tokens, and they helped Yang Qi change on the spot, making him look completely refreshed.

"Pay respects to the portraits of our Tianwei Academy's ancestors in the Holy Study Hall, with three bows and nine prostrations. This ceremony will be complete, and from now on, you will be elite students of the Tianwei Academy."

The five elders spoke in unison.

Yang Qi then saw, in the depths of the Holy Study Hall, a mural hanging. On the mural, there were more than ten figures, each with a sage-like demeanor, like the rising sun, with a lofty aura, appearing divine and supreme, either lively, graceful, dignified, regal, or compassionate.

He realized that these were the portraits of the true leaders of the academy throughout its history.

The last figure in the portrait was the current leader of the academy, a young man in yellow robes, holding a scroll and a sword. His demeanor was very captivating, with a faint sadness, as if lamenting the hardships of the people. His eyes did not look at the book but at the world, and the portrait vividly captured his noble ambition to save the people from suffering and create a moral and prosperous era of lasting peace.
