Looking at the two half-demon girls, who were either furious or gloomy, Wang Qi could only smile bitterly. At this moment, he was thinking about another issue.
If the person opposite him was an ancient method cultivator who had surrendered to the Immortal Alliance and converted to the modern method, could he still remain calm?
After the modern method Immortal Path eliminated the Nine Demons of Chaos, the demon race on the continent could no longer cause significant waves. The Immortal Alliance could even proudly declare, "After the founding of the Alliance, animals are not allowed to become demons without permission." Under such circumstances, the Immortal Alliance absorbed a portion of the demon race that met its requirements. However, this could not change the fact that the human and demon races had been in conflict for countless generations. If both sides could coexist peacefully, it might take a few generations for the human race to eliminate the hatred. But overseas, humans and demons were still in opposition.
Moreover, although the demon beasts were a hundred times stronger than in ancient times, sporadic attacks still occurred. The hatred of the demon race and half-demons within the Immortal Alliance was not an isolated phenomenon.
The opposition between modern method cultivators and ancient method cultivators was even more severe than that between humans and demons. Ancient method cultivators emphasized "stealing the breath of heaven and earth, forging a unique self," while modern method cultivators adhered to "borrowing the breath of heaven and earth, growing together with the universe." The existence of ancient method cultivators harmed the universe and hindered the cultivation of modern method cultivators. The two could not coexist.
Killing demons and ancient method cultivators by the disciples of the Immortal Alliance was entirely in line with righteousness.
And when they had deep-seated hatred towards these two, they would act without hesitation.
But could he ensure that this emotion would not be directed at the surrenderers within the Immortal Alliance?
Due to similar experiences, Wang Qi felt a sense of empathy for Yang Jun, and his aversion slightly diminished. However, he also developed a slight contempt for the other.
He never looked down on academic underachievers. In his previous life, he could get along well with the underachievers in his class. If they were willing to work hard, that was best; if they sought a comfortable life and lived their own colorful lives, that was also fine. He only despised those who were unwilling to work hard, envied others, and blamed fate.
He despised the weak in spirit.
Revenge was good, and venting anger was also acceptable. Wang Qi asked himself, and he would also want to eliminate all the ancient method cultivators in front of him, regardless of whether they were from the Supreme Heaven Rending Dao. But venting anger on people in the same camp was excessive.
After this incident, the three of them lost interest in comparing answers and hastily had dinner.
After dinner, the three walked out of the cafeteria together. Wang Qi planned to return to his room to read "The Songting Collection," while Mao Zimiao and Wang Zhenqi intended to find a junior assistant named Ai to discuss the problems.
The three walked side by side. When they reached the place where they would part ways, Mao Zimiao suddenly leaned forward, bending down to look at Wang Qi: "Xiao Qi, why do you look so troubled, meow?"
In the sunset, the half-demon girl's orange hair seemed to shine. Wang Qi averted his gaze and replied, "Am I?"
"Could it be that you're worried about us, meow?"
The girl looked very happy but remembered to add the word "us" to cover up.
Ha? What are you getting excited about?
Wang Qi snorted and turned to walk back to the dormitory.
Behind him, Wang Zhenqi's figure appeared: "Aimiao, look, he's blushing, ru!"
What kind of brains do these female half-demons have...
The next day, the martial examination began.
Before this trial, the Immortal Academy divided the disciples into two groups. One group was at the Qi Condensation stage, and the other was below the Qi Condensation stage. Disciples above the Qi Condensation stage required a larger venue for their magical duels. The lecturers used their magical power to directly transport them to the platform on the north slope of Xin Mountain, where elite Foundation Establishment assistants like Su Junyu and Xiang Qi followed as examiners and judges. Disciples below the Qi Condensation stage remained in the Immortal Academy for the competition.
This time, the queue was still organized by dormitory. Wang Qi saw Wu Fan again.
Wu Fan's spirit was even more listless than before the literary examination. His eye sockets were sunken, and he could barely stand. Wang Qi kicked him: "Hey, you, can you still take the martial examination like this?"
Wu Fan originally dared not talk to Wang Qi, but now that he had been kicked, he realized that Wang Qi had no grudge against him and immediately felt relieved. He knew Wang Qi's personality; this guy was only informal with friends. It was said that he and Mao Zimiao had an unpleasant first meeting, but he was polite to Du Bin. Wu Fan said, "I'm okay. I've been cooperating with the Conduct Department to handle Yang Jun's matter. Wang Qi, about yesterday..."
Wang Qi waved his hand: "This isn't something you should tell me. Have your friend talk to Zimiao."
He emphasized the words "your friend," and the meaning was clear.
Wu Fan didn't expect Yang Jun and Wang Qi to become friends and nodded with a bitter smile.
Wang Qi pushed Wu Fan again: "I say, you need to review for the literary examination and the martial examination? Preparing for the exam, adjusting your state is more important than familiarizing yourself with the rules..."
Wu Fan said, "Mainly, Wu Qin is very dissatisfied with Yang Jun. I think Yang Jun is really pitiful, so I'm keeping an eye on him."
"Nothing, really likes to stir up trouble." Wang Qi said this out loud, but in his heart, he gave Wu Qin a thumbs up.
Wu Fan continued, "Anyway, after a lot of effort, Yang Jun can at least participate in the martial examination. But he will be directly supervised by the Conduct Department's assistant. For the next few days, he will be under the supervision of the Conduct Department's assistant."
"Serves him right."
Wang Qi snorted. He didn't want to discuss this topic further and asked, "How do you think the martial examination will go?"
"Wang Qi, you could fight with a Qi Accumulation demon beast a month ago, so winning shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Where, where." Wang Qi modestly accepted the praise without being humble.
Wu Fan added, "Wu Qin's Heavenly Song Method is extraordinary. This month, she has been reflecting and studying the Heavenly Song and Heavenly Origin Group, and her progress has been significant."
"I haven't fought with her this month."
"Blowing hot air."
At this moment, a voice came from in front of them. They looked and saw the new disciple who had mocked Wang Qi yesterday.
Wang Qi laughed angrily: "What, still not had enough of getting your face slapped yesterday?"
"‘Getting your face slapped’?" The other retorted, "Who got their face slapped when you were the last to finish the questions?"
Wang Qi was furious and wanted to fight this guy right now.
The Immortal Academy usually released the results of the literary examination after the martial examination to prevent it from affecting the students' performance. Wang Qi really had nothing to throw in the other's face at the moment.
The other, not letting up, continued, "Fighting with a Qi Accumulation demon beast? Ha ha, are you just making it up? You, a mere early Qi Condensation stage, want to fight a Qi Accumulation demon? And Wu Zhiyu, a genius who broke through to the Heaven Penetrating stage before entering the Immortal Academy, how many of her peers can withstand her three punches and two kicks? You want to fight her?"
Wu Fan quickly held Wang Qi back and laughed, "Brother, in your opinion, which cultivator has a higher chance of winning this time?"
The other smiled smugly, "If there were a bet, I would definitely bet on Du Bin from the Divine Capital Du family."
Oh, so Du Bin is a potential stock?
Wang Qi suddenly became interested.
A stock that he saw through at first glance could actually package itself as a potential stock? Is he a stock god in the world of physiognomy?
In the ring, Zhen Chanzi snorted, "It was clearly I who saw through it."
