Open up and break into another world

"What!?"

"This…"

"Impossible!!"

The outcome of the battle between Lin Lan and Yue Lu was beyond everyone's expectations.

"How could Yue Lu possibly lose?"

Many powerful figures couldn't accept it, but the truth was right before their eyes—it wasn't just a loss, but a one-move defeat!

With the insight of the Wen Dao Academy's teachers, they could naturally see that Yue Lu hadn't deliberately held back; it was just that he had been slightly careless when facing the enemy!

However… just a slight carelessness led to Yue Lu being defeated in one move; this showed that even if he hadn't been careless, he probably wouldn't have been Lin Lan's opponent!

Lin Lan, at the eighth level of the Desolate Realm, was stronger than Yue Lu, at the ninth level of the Desolate Realm!

Elder Dragon Blood felt his face stinging—just a moment ago, he had confidently said that he knew the strength of his "former disciple," Lin Lan, like the back of his hand, and that Lin Lan could never be Yue Lu's opponent; the next moment, Lin Lan slapped Elder Dragon Blood in the face by defeating Yue Lu in one move.

This was knowing like the back of his hand?

Knowing where, exactly?

The one who was slapped in the face even harder was undoubtedly Yue Lu!

—When he provoked Xu Ming, how arrogant and cool was he?

But the result… as soon as the fight started, he was defeated in one move by Lin Lan, whose cultivation was lower than his!

What the heck!

Without strength, what were you being arrogant about?

What were you being cool about?

Who gave you that mysterious confidence?

To be honest, losing face to this extent, if Yue Lu didn't have a thick skin, he probably would have wanted to die!

Also getting slapped in the face was Void Cliff.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Yue Lu's provocation of Xu Ming must have been instigated by Void Cliff behind the scenes.

But now… failing to slap Xu Ming in the face, they were instead slapped in the face by Xu Ming!

"Thank you for the match!" Lin Lan's voice echoed from the center of the battle stage.

"Lin Lan, your strength…" Yue Lu was still somewhat unable to accept it.

Lin Lan said calmly, "If I hadn't become Teacher Xu Ming's disciple, I wouldn't be your opponent indeed!"

Lin Lan's words were equivalent to clearly stating: I have this strength entirely because of Teacher Xu Ming's guidance!

Elder Dragon Blood's expression became even more unsightly upon hearing this, but he had nothing to say—after all, when Lin Lan was under his tutelage, she indeed didn't have such strength!

Bai Qingqiu, Qin Jian, Zhao Xu, Lin Lan… four disciples in a row displayed unparalleled brilliance in the New Student Assessment; this made it impossible for other teachers and disciples to question Xu Ming, even if they wanted to!

Or rather, they didn't dare to question him!—Because those who questioned him had already been slapped in the face.

The New Student Assessment had only just begun, but for Xu Ming, it could already be said to be over—his goal had been achieved!

Xu Ming's goal was to have his disciples showcase their strength well in the New Student Assessment, in order to attract other disciples to become his students; and now, this wave of strength display was definitely sufficient!

Although there would definitely still be some people who, although they wouldn't dare to question Xu Ming verbally, would still have doubts in their hearts; but for Xu Ming, all of this was irrelevant—after all, he only needed to accept twenty-seven disciples!

And now, he had already accepted five, and he only needed twenty-two more!

Xu Ming estimated that after the New Student Assessment ended, there would definitely be more than twenty-two people coming to ask to become his disciple!

"Huh?" The expressions of the other teachers present were not very good—Xu Ming directly took his disciples and left; the meaning expressed was precisely his disdain for them!

After all, after the New Student Assessment, there was also the "Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition."

Generally speaking, whether teachers or disciples, they would stay and carefully observe in the New Student Assessment who would be the strong enemies in the "Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition."

"Xu Ming!" Elder Dragon Blood naturally couldn't stand Xu Ming's disregard, and he shouted coldly, "You're leaving just like that?"

Xu Ming, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped.

Elder Dragon Blood's expression softened slightly when he saw Xu Ming stop—in his opinion, Xu Ming was still afraid of him, so he stopped.

However, immediately afterward, Xu Ming said lightly, "Oh right, there's one more thing I'll simply say!"

Xu Ming's words sounded incomparably arrogant, and the expressions of many powerful figures changed slightly.

Xu Ming ignored whether their expressions changed or not and continued, "The Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition should have a total of twenty-seven 'first place' spots, right?"

"Huh?"

"That's right!"

"Xu Ming, what do you mean?"

One powerful figure after another shouted.

"It doesn't mean anything, just simply saying—" Xu Ming said lightly, "This time, the twenty-seven 'first place' spots in the Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition, I'll take them all! That's it!"

Saying that, Xu Ming didn't even allow the other powerful figures to react before directly leaving.

The latest \\⊥ novel \\⊥ is at \\⊥ six \\⊥ 9 \\⊥ book \\⊥ bar \\⊥ first \\⊥ release!

Lin Lan, Zhao Xu, and the other five disciples all looked at each other: their teacher was a bit too… arrogant, wasn't he?

He actually said in front of all the other teachers, including many "elder-level" teachers, directly—the twenty-seven "first place" spots, I'll take them all!

However, after looking at each other, Lin Lan, Zhao Xu, and the five others suddenly felt their blood boiling!

The Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition "first place"!

Even if each small realm of cultivation had a "first place" spot, with the Wen Dao Academy having so many geniuses, how easy would it be to obtain first place?—Before, except for Lin Lan, who dared to think about it a little, the other four disciples simply didn't dare to think about it!

But now, Lin Lan, Zhao Xu, and the five others suddenly realized—the Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition "first place" seemed to be not that difficult after all!

With Teacher Xu Ming guiding them with his strength, not to mention that they already had good talent; even if they were pigs, they could probably be guided to "first place"!

Thinking of this, the five disciples also followed Xu Ming's footsteps and quickly left.

And at this time, the other teachers and disciples present just realized what Xu Ming had just said!

"Arrogant!"

"Too arrogant!"

"What does Xu Ming think he is? Is he a Realm Lord?—To dare to say such words to us!"

"Hmph! Remember! During the Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition, be more ruthless to Xu Ming's disciples; I want to see who else dares to become Xu Ming's disciple!"

"That's right! Whoever dares to become Xu Ming's disciple, I'll make sure they can't survive in the Wen Dao Academy!"

…

Although many teachers made harsh remarks, after the New Student Assessment ended, there were still many disciples who hadn't become disciples who came to become Xu Ming's disciples—the reason why Xu Ming made harsh remarks was actually also considering that he could screen when accepting disciples!

Xu Ming wouldn't accept cowardly disciples.

Soon, Xu Ming had accepted all twenty-seven disciples.

Moreover, most of them accepted one disciple for each small realm of cultivation, accepting them very evenly—it seemed that he really wanted to take all the "first place" spots in all cultivations in the "Wen Dao Academy Grand Competition."
