Open up and break into another world

The hundred selected examinees who reappeared on the ninth floor wore varied expressions. Some looked as if it was to be expected, while others were surprised and taken aback.

“Well done!”

“Fantastic!”

Cheers erupted from the group of relatives and friends of the selected examinees.

“Haha, my son has entered the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion! Let’s see who dares to look down on our Xiao family in the future!” A middle-aged man with a bare belly and a beard laughed while waving his hands and feet.

His son was a young man who wielded a blade.

The young man was full of murderous intent: “Hmph, you bitch, you dared to break off our engagement! Now that I’ve become a member of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, what kind of woman won’t I be able to find in the future? But… I will definitely make you regret your actions!”

Similar situations were happening to several other selected examinees.

For many ordinary people, being able to become an outer disciple of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion was practically a step into the heavens! Because under the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion’s tutelage, they could almost 100% break through the Outer Refinement stage and enter the Inner Refinement stage!

The difference between Inner Refinement and Outer Refinement was like heaven and earth; Inner Refinement martial artists were considered experts no matter where they were in the Flying Cloud Kingdom!

Moreover, Inner Refinement martial artists who came from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion not only had superior combat power compared to those from wild, self-taught backgrounds, but more frighteningly—they would have many classmates and good friends who were also Inner Refinement experts!

If anyone was bullied, these classmates and good friends would immediately provide support from all directions!

“Huh? Lord Governor?” Qin Ran exclaimed, “That monster actually wasn’t selected!”

“I noticed it!” Governor Gu said with a smile, “Needless to say, someone must have pulled some strings!”

“Is that Wu Gaofeng an idiot? He dares to reject such a monster!”

“Isn’t that a good thing? It saves me the trouble of asking the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion for him!”

Wen Shuai and Elder Du’s thoughts had been focused on Xu Ming all along; but when the selection results came out, they looked back and forth several times, but couldn’t find Xu Ming’s figure.

“He failed to be selected?”

Wen Shuai and Elder Du exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of secret joy in each other’s eyes.

“It’s good that he wasn’t selected!”

The First Prince had a lot of influence in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. If Xu Ming hadn’t been eliminated, it would definitely be slightly more difficult for Wen Shuai to win him over.

“To still be eliminated despite such amazing performance, it’s almost certain that there’s definitely a grudge between him and Lin Muqing!” Elder Du transmitted his voice, “This Lin Muqing is a staunch supporter of the First Prince’s faction; his enemies are our friends!”

“Yes!”

“It’s just that I don’t know…” Elder Du sighed inwardly, “Whether we have that much time to wait for him to grow up…”

There were also many martial artists present who were amazed by Xu Ming’s performance just now. After searching for a while, these people didn’t see Xu Ming being selected, and they started discussing it; many of those with loud voices even directly questioned the fairness of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion’s recruitment.

“Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!” Wu Gaofeng stood up and shouted without blushing or skipping a beat, “The young man who used the spear, after verification, we have determined that he took forbidden drugs!”

Took forbidden drugs?

The crowd was stunned for a moment.

Then, the scene immediately exploded.

“Damn, I knew it!” Some martial artists were already jealous of Xu Ming’s talent. Now, hearing Wu Gaofeng say this, they immediately excitedly shouted at the top of their lungs, “I knew that an Outer Refinement Level Four wouldn’t be so powerful! So it turns out he took forbidden drugs!”

“It’s really shameful to cheat during the assessment! Fortunately, Pavilion Master Wu is discerning!” Wu Gaofeng was the person in charge of the Outer Pavilion. Some people who wanted to curry favor would deliberately call him “Pavilion Master Wu” in front of him; and Wu Gaofeng himself, of course, was happy to hear this distorted title.

“Pavilion Master Wu, what’s the name of that shameless person?”

“That’s right, Pavilion Master Wu, expose him so that he can’t enter other martial academies!”

Wu Gaofeng put on a compassionate posture: “Young people, it’s normal to make mistakes. We should still give him some opportunities, and hope that he can correct his mistakes in the future!”

“Pavilion Master Wu is truly benevolent!”

“Pavilion Master Wu is truly full of love!”

Another burst of flattering praises filled the air, and it was unknown which sycophant in the crowd said it.

“I know that person, his name is Xu Ming, and he’s from Yicheng!” Just as the praises subsided slightly, a lackey arranged by Lin Muqing shouted from the crowd.

When the array pagoda dissipated, Xu Ming shook his head and walked out: “Lin Muqing is really crude and direct! I’ve already performed so amazingly, yet he still insists on not letting me be selected!”

The latest and most complete novels are at 69shuba!

“If they don’t let me enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, then I’ll just go to the Savage Wilderness Martial Academy!" Xu Ming had heard that although the Savage Wilderness Martial Academy seemed inferior to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, its foundation was actually deeper, and its position in the capital was even more detached, “It’s just that I don’t have any hanging points to activate Perfect Battle again. I don’t know if I can successfully pass the Savage Wilderness Martial Academy’s recruitment assessment.”

However, Xu Ming was still very confident. After all, there weren’t many who were stronger than him at the same level. Moreover, the effect of the “Perfect Battle” cheat was still continuing; in this state, Xu Ming’s realm was also growing rapidly—this was the extra benefit brought by activating the “Perfect Battle” cheat.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Xu Ming noticed that many people around him were staring at him, and their eyes were very strange.

Listening carefully—

“Look, it’s him! He’s the one who took forbidden drugs to participate in the assessment!”

“It’s really shameful!”

“He wants to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion without any strength!”

“It seems like they’re all talking about me? Took forbidden drugs?” Xu Ming looked at the contemptuous gazes coming from all directions, and the mocking smile on Lin Muqing’s face on the stage, and immediately understood, “It must be Lin Muqing’s handiwork… There’s nothing to say, anyway, since I came to this world, I and him are in a situation of endless enmity!—You just laugh! If I don’t die, you die!”

Amidst the condemnation of thousands, Xu Ming steadily strode forward, walking out unhurriedly, as if everything around him was completely irrelevant to him.

“As long as you give me time, I will naturally let these people know how foolish they are now!”

Of course, there were also a few martial artists with brains on the scene who smelled that there was definitely something fishy about Xu Ming’s failure to be selected. But precisely because they smelled something fishy, a few spies who originally planned to step forward and invite Xu Ming didn’t dare to invite him—they didn’t dare to offend Wu Gaofeng!

As Xu Ming walked out of the crowd, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: “Boy, I’m really liking you more and more!”

Xu Ming’s eyes widened: “Voice transmission technique, a congenital expert!”

He looked around, but didn’t find anything.

“Stop looking around, there are too many people here, it’s not convenient for me to meet you!” The voice transmission sounded again, “Go home and wait for me! I am—Gu Hanmo, from the Savage Wilderness Martial Academy!”
