't be impulsive..."< Hao Hongmei pulled him behind her again and said, "Are you sure" >Yè Bùfán nodded, "Uncle Defu, Aunt Hao, I will cure Ziyan's injuries and help the Wang family overcome their diff..."Brother Ye, I'm going!"

After greeting each other, Jiang Fangzhou took a deep breath and strode towards the stone tablet.

Soon, the results appeared on the Spirit Testing Tablet: "Age 20, Golden Core Initial Stage, Pass!"

Although he had already guessed the result, Jiang Fangzhou was extremely excited and ran back, saying happily: "Brother Ye, I passed!"

Dong Chao curled his lips: "Hillbilly, you're just at the early stage of Jindan, what's there to be proud of This young master is also at the great perfection stage of Jindan, but I don't act like this."

That servant followed up, saying, “That’s right, his cultivation level is nothing compared to our young master!”

Jiang Fangzhou heard both of their words clearly. Although she was unhappy, she couldn't say anything.

He was already at his limit in the early stages of forming a golden core. His cultivation base was simply no match for someone who had reached the peak of forming a golden core, so to retort back would only be self-deprecating.

Turning around, he began cheering Ye Bufan on: "Brother Ye, don't be nervous, you can definitely do it!"

"Next, number 37, Ye Bufan."

At this moment, a voice came from the front. It was Guan Dechun's voice. Ye Bufan frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that when his mentor called his name, there was a hint of hostility in his tone.

Perhaps it's just my imagination. After all, this is my first time at Cangfeng Academy, and I've never met this person before. There's no way I could have any hatred towards them.

He shook his head, pushing the thought away, and then strode forward.

Before Ye Bufan even stepped onto the stage, a servant beside him said with disdain, "Master, I don't think this guy is any good. He probably hasn't even reached the Qi Refining Stage."

Dong Chao curled his lip and said, "You have an eye. Such a small place's bumpkin, even if he sells all his family wealth, he can't afford the pills for cultivation, destined to be kicked out..."

This guy is smugly putting others down and elevating himself, showing off his superiority as a rich kid.

< He was just speaking when, suddenly, as if his throat had been clamped shut, he stopped abruptly. >

At this moment, the results have already appeared on the Spirit Testing Monument: "Age 21, Cultivation Base Nascent Soul Early Stage, Excellent!"

"Uh..."

Everyone present was stunned. Dong Chao's previous cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core stage had already been envied by all, and no one expected this unassuming young man to have such a high level of cultivation, reaching the early stage of Nascent Soul.

"My God, I thought Dong Chao was already amazing, but this young man is even more impressive…"

"The difference between the Great Perfection of the Golden Core and the early stage of Nascent Soul is huge, completely different realms..."

"Need I say more Didn't you see that all the results on the Spirit Testing Monument showed excellent Before this, Dong Chao was only qualified..."

For a moment, everyone buzzed with discussion, looking at Ye Bufan with admiration on their faces. Instantly, they overshadowed the momentum Dong Chao had just created.

Jiang Fangzhou was first shocked, then rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure she wasn't mistaken. Suddenly, she excitedly jumped up.

"Uncle Ye is awesome!"

He was truly happy for Ye Bufan, and he didn't expect that the new friend he had just made would be so outstanding. It turned out that he had underestimated him before.

Next to him, Dong Chao's eyes widened in disbelief, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. He never expected that Ye Bufan, who was dressed plainly, would be so much stronger than him.

That servant was even worse, but he reacted quickly and fawned, "Master, you don't need to mind. It must be that the Spirit-Testing Monument made a mistake."

Dong Chao seemed to find the answer instantly, following up with: "That's right, it must be the Spirit Measuring Tablet that is malfunctioning. Otherwise, how could a nobody from a small place possibly be stronger than this young master"

The servant replied cooperatively, "That's right, but there's no need to rush. It's only the first level. When it comes to the second level and actual combat, that kid will instantly reveal his true colors and definitely get beaten like a dog."

Even Guan Dechun, the host of the test, was somewhat surprised, obviously not expecting such a result at the beginning of the Nascent Soul stage.

But his attitude was completely different from before, he said coldly: "Your cultivation is not bad, but as a cultivator, cultivation alone is not enough. You also need to have actual combat ability. I hope you can pass the second level."

At this moment, Ye Bufan had confirmed that his previous feelings were not wrong. This mentor truly held animosity towards him.

But he didn't care too much, his enemies were numerous anyway, and one more wouldn't make a difference. He ignored Guan Dechun and strode to his own position.

"Brother Ye, you are so amazing!"

Jiang Fangzhou excitedly greeted him, "Brother Ye, you're really so low-key! You didn't even mention being in the early stage of Nascent Soul."

Unlike some people, who flaunt their success at achieving the Golden Core Grand Perfection!

After he finished speaking, he also glanced over at Dong Chao.

Dong Chao immediately exploded, dissatisfiedly saying, "Kid, who are you talking about"

"Who knows who's saying that, just a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, how can he compare to my brother Ye" Jiang Fangzhou vented his pent-up anger in an instant. He hadn't spoken before because his cultivation wasn't enough, but now that Brother Ye was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was much stronger than the other party.

Dong Chao was so angry his eyes were blazing: "Kid, you just wait! My mentor just said that cultivation alone isn't enough. What truly matters is combat strength. I don't believe he can pass the second level."

You're overthinking it. Elder Ye is a Yuanying stage cultivator, and he's destined to enter the inner court in the future. How could he possibly pass the outer court exam

Nowadays, Jiang Fangzhou speaks with confidence, as if he himself had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The servant hurried out and said, "Master, don't get angry with these arrogant bumpkins. It's not worth it to hurt your body. They'll know their place soon enough."

Dong Chao let out a cold snort again, his eyes narrowed menacingly at the two of them: “You wait for me!”

Ye Bufan didn't take him seriously at all, and looked at Jiang Fangzhou and said, "Aren't you afraid that guy will take revenge on you"

"Don't be afraid, fighting between students is forbidden at Cangfeng Academy. Even though his cultivation level is higher than mine, he can't do anything to me, or else he'll be expelled from the academy."

If I fail the assessment, I'll leave Tianfeng City immediately and never come back. You don't have to worry about him anymore.

At the end, Jiang Fangzhou once again revealed a forlorn expression. He was now his family's last hope, and if he failed, he truly didn't know how to return and face his people.

Ye Bufan said: "Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

The following tests continued, but not only did no cultivators reach the Nascent Soul stage, even Golden Core Stage perfection was absent.

Soon 50 people finished the test, directly eliminating over 30 more.

These people were originally not strong enough, and they came to the exam with a fluke mentality. In the end, they could only leave dejectedly under the high threshold of Cangfeng Academy.

Guan Dechun said to the remaining 20 people: “Congratulations, you have successfully passed the first round, but this is only half the success. The second round is the key.”

As a cultivator, one's cultivation level doesn't directly equal combat power.

The Cangfeng Academy is the most outstanding academy in our Tianfeng Empire. An excellent student must not only have a high enough cultivation level to exert the greatest combat power, but that is what truly makes a talent.

Empty of cultivation yet unable to form combat power, that can only be called a waste.

Alright, now the second round practical test begins!would be the ones who suffered."Young Master, please don't blame me. The blame lies solely on you for snatching back such a demoness."Four people kept muttering to themselves in their hearts, then lit...
