Chapter 929 - 841: Ascension Academy

Soon, he sensed a powerful transmission energy emerging in the nearby Void.When that transmission energy stabilized, he saw Gu Xiaoyue appear in front of him.

He quickly walked up and asked, "Gu Xiaoyue, is it you?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Gu Xiaoyue replied promptly.

She glanced around and found that there were many Martial Saints like her who had returned early.

"Duan Gujin, how many points do you have?" Gu Xiaoyue asked.

"Over four thousand points!"

Duan Gujin said casually.

Gu Xiaoyue gasped upon hearing this.

She knew the gap between her and Duan Gujin was immense, especially in the previous fifth level. She had barely managed by burning a zombie with Soul Fire.

But Duan Gujin had eliminated five zombies at the fifth level, earning two thousand five hundred points.

One can imagine how vast their previous difference was.

Duan Gujin walked forward with Gu Xiaoyue to register their points with the Divine World attendants.

After the attendants from the Divine World completed their registration, they returned the Recording Name Plates to them.

Duan Gujin and Gu Xiaoyue found a spot in the training ground and sat down cross-legged, rejuvenating and recovering primordial power.

Time passed slowly.

Many Martial Saints returned from the Illusion Demon World.

An hour later, the Divine World attendees announced that this test was officially over. They instructed everyone to check their final results on the Stele and informed those in the top thousand to remain for their rewards from the Divine World.

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and quickly found his ranking on the Stele—seventh place.

Upon seeing his result, he could only touch his nose in acceptance.

"What's your rank?"

Gu Xiaoyue asked.

"Seventh place!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Oh, I'm ranked sixty-seventh! Ugh, quite dismal!"

Gu Xiaoyue said with a helpless expression.

If Duan Gujin hadn't seen Gu Xiaoyue design a trap that led to the demise of seven Martial Saints, he wouldn't have believed that this seemingly girl-next-door was so ruthless.

Now, he viewed Gu Xiaoyue's actions as pure pretense.

"Pretender! This woman is too good at pretending!"

Duan Gujin chuckled coldly inwardly, though he showed no disdain outwardly.

"Now, would the top thousand Martial Saints please stand on the names before the respective Stele!"

Soon, a deep voice echoed through the sky.

Then, everyone saw names appear one after another on the floor before the Stele.

Those names matched the rankings on the Stele.

All the Martial Saints exhaled and stood on their names.

Soon, everyone received their reward from the Divine World.

A Divine World attendee addressed everyone, "You have all achieved excellent rankings this time. Three months later, you will enter the Ascension Academy to study. Each of you is a disciple of the inaugural class! The Divine World previously decided to send the top thousand winners to the academy. Once you enter, you need to work even harder! The Ascension Academy is not truly within the Divine World; it's just within the Demigod World. If you wish to study in the Divine World, you'll need to pass a series of tests!"

Upon hearing the Divine World attendee's voice, the Martial Saints felt mixed emotions.

They were happy to have stood out amongst ten thousand Martial Saints, yet worried as they hadn't yet entered the Divine World, only the Demigod-level Continent.

They gained eligibility to enter the Divine World, but whether they could was a matter of their effort in the Ascension Academy.

Duan Gujin had anticipated such an outcome.

"Ascension Academy? Interesting!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, having never heard of the Ascension Academy before, knowing it was something devised by those from the Divine World in this era.

Soon, he received an identity token engraved with his name.

With this identity token, he could use the Teleportation Arrays of thirty thousand Planes.

The Divine World attendees then instructed everyone to leave.

Duan Gujin followed his previous agreement with Gu Xiaoyue and met her on the road.

By now, she had removed her mask and black attire, donning splendid clothes.

Duan Gujin realized she was a peerless beauty, with snow-white skin and graceful features, her figure exquisite.

"I'm Gu Xiaoyue, granddaughter of Prime Minister Gu from the Prime Minister's Mansion of Huoye Country on Sky Wolf Continent. This is my identity token. If you visit Sky Wolf Continent, visit me! Just present this outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and someone will relay it to me! You must come to the Sky Wolf Continent to find me!"

Gu Xiaoyue said earnestly, handing Duan Gujin a token exclusive to the Prime Minister of Huoye Country.

"Sure, definitely! Lady Gu, farewell!"

Duan Gujin replied with a faint smile, cupping his hands in respect before bidding farewell.

"Farewell!"

Gu Xiaoyue also cupped her hands, bidding farewell.

Duan Gujin followed the previous arrangement with the Yuanzhen Continent Divine World attendee to the agreed meeting point.

He soon met Zhan Huantai there, and they quickly exchanged updates on their situations.

Duan Gujin discovered Zhan Huantai didn't perform well, ranking outside the top thousand.

While Duan Gujin ranked seventh, a placement that left Zhan Huantai utterly astonished.

Upon hearing Qing Lian had been accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Girl Immortal Sect from the Divine World, Zhan Huantai felt even more shaken.

"So, both of them are Devils!"

Previously, he had hoped to impress Qing Lian with his bravery, winning her affection.

Now, he realized Duan Gujin and Qing Lian were truly exceptional; he was merely ordinary.

He touched his nose, thinking it was fortunate he hadn't tried to outshine Duan Gujin, or he would have lost face.

How could Qing Lian not know Duan Gujin's strength, and be with him?

"Young man, you have great potential! I didn't expect you'd be seventh this time!"

The Divine World attendee inquired about Duan Gujin and, upon knowing his rank, praised him loudly.

The surrounding Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples gasped.

Their rankings were behind a thousand, with two disciples tragically slain by an Earth Demon Beast.

Once a thorn in their side, the person had now achieved seventh place in the first test, leaving them deeply shocked.

The stronger the enemy, the more fear they felt.

Initially doubting they misheard, upon careful investigation, they confirmed the Divine World attendee's words as truth.

"Hiss!"

All the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples present felt severe pressure. They had thought Duan Gujin was merely formidable, unable to gauge his strength.

Now, they realized his Combat Power ranked seventh among all Martial Saints under forty from thirty thousand Small Planes—a feat they couldn't fathom.

Previously, Sect Leader Zhan Changsheng had urged them to find ways to eliminate Duan Gujin, leaving them cold with sweat.

They realized even if everyone attacked together, they wouldn't be Duan Gujin's match.
