“Could you two be quiet?” Long Shiyan’s voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the ears of the two others. They calmed down and stopped moving as she said, “The place where we are heading to is a sacred location where martial artists from all over the continent are gathered. It is a place that requires basic etiquette and common courtesy, so will you please be quiet? If you two aren’t the only ones like this, then is it true that all of you, humans, are always this rude and perverted?”

When this statement was said, the two unexpectedly became silent.

Sharon understood that she, a princess, had been called rude by a small child. She should be flying into a furious rage with her temperament, however, after looking at the girl’s sorrowful face, it was hard for her to do so. As for Long Aotian, he was definitely at a loss when he was called a pervert. Naturally, the cause of their dispute was because that beautiful woman started to disturb him.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

Sharon got out of the carriage and left without saying anything.

Only when Long Aotian was about to get off the carriage, the driver stopped him to make him pay money. Long Aotian also revealed some of his skills to the guard, threw him a bag of gold coins, and then went away, leaving the driver with a lifeless expression.

Long Shiyan watched the scene with a smile. As for those who pretended to be pigs to eat a tiger, she was also one herself!

Climbing up the mountain gate, one could see nine pillars erected in front of the door. These columns were not made of stone, gold, wood, or iron. In fact, she didn’t know what they were made of as the top of every pillar couldn’t be seen. Several of the school’s staff were near the pillars to test the entrants’ skills.

In the middle of the nine pillars was a huge and flat square. There were several teams located on top of the square. A good deal of people lined up starting from the bottom of the mountain. If she didn’t use a shortcut, Long Shiyan wouldn’t have been able to come up here so quickly.

However, there was no way for her to go up all the way because she couldn’t always completely skip through the queue, right? Fortunately, she found somewhere to sit down at the edge of the square.

At this moment, the two figures in the crowd attracted her attention. It was Long Aotian and Sharon, who were rushing to the registration point.

Speaking of these two, they just saw each other this morning! Because she had to inquire about some things, Long Shiyan had been wandering around the mountain before taking the shortcut.

Long Shiyan just sat for a while. There were many students from the school, apparently taking over duties for the teachers who were busy this morning.

Long Shiyan also saw Zi Linglong among them.

Obviously, it was the Student Holy Spirit Group’s job to help out.

Long Shiyan wasn’t allowed to rest for even a few minutes before a beautiful blonde woman went to her. As she looked at her, she smiled softly. “Little Sister, why don’t you line up and sit there?”

Long Shiyan frowned and said indifferently, “I don’t want to line up!”

The woman was speechless for a while but soon resumed smiling. “We are going to open a new registration base. Will you line up there?”

“Then, that’s okay.”

According to her, another registration base will open. The other teams were divided into several groups to line up. The fastest ones to line up were Long Aotian and Princess Sharon.

Not waiting for Long Aotian to speak, the arrogant Sharon was the first to ask her question, “Aren’t you the little sister who came with us this morning? Since you haven’t lined up yet, were you not aware that they opened a new registration base?”

“The Student Holy Spirit Group help the school’s teachers and students whenever they are free. Every time, they select the best and strictest teachers and students, so the Student Holy Spirit Group will definitely dispatch a lot of people to help,” Long Shiyan simply answered.

“Student Holy Spirit Group? What is that?” asked Long Aotian.

“Wah! I don’t understand. Are we still going to enroll in the Holy Spirit Magic School?” While looking down upon him, she turned to Long Shiyan and said, “This little sister knows a lot, no wonder I was stuck with these worms while lining up for the entire morning. At the end of the day, I’m still behind them. This is really unlucky.” Sharon sighed.

The blonde woman, who was sorting out blank papers, listened to their words and said, “You are quite the smart child. You must have done your homework before you came. Do you have a brother or sister who attends this school?” She asked Long Shiyan.

Long Shiyan lowered her eyebrows and did not answer.

At this moment, a girl with an oriental appearance led three other men to come over without delay. One of the three men seemed seventeen or eighteen years old. Another of the three had a pair of ox horns and dressed distinctively as he should be part of the beastman race. In this world, his appearance wasn’t very common. The last one was wearing a mage robe as his crimson hair was the most conspicuous out of all of them.

“Belinda, we’ll help you.” The red-haired man, who was shorter than her, said awkwardly. He sat next to the blonde woman, holding a book and pen. The three others who were beside the man also took a seat next to them.

“Today’s spectacle is quite chaotic. Hasn’t the discipline inspection department arrived yet?” The blonde girl’s eyes swept past the candidates, who had been relocated to the newer line.

“They already have. Moreover, the battle department and several others have come to help as well,” the beautiful girl behind them answered.

“So many? Are they that idle?” The red-haired boy widened his eyes. “Did you really have to open multiple assessment points?”

“There are a lot of people today, and in order not to let the next assessment have too much trouble, I could only do this,” the beautiful girl behind them said. This person was Zi Linglong.

“Ah, it’s such a hassle! The students we recruited today are already several times more than usual. This isn’t a good sign.” The blonde girl’s gaze swept through the crowd as she was deeply pondering. However, the smile on her face remained unchanged. After the conversation, she suddenly laughed and said, “Linglong, let’s pass my suggestion using the head’s name.” She quickly wrote on the white sheet of paper while Long Shiyan watched.

“Alright, let the registration begin.” She lazily stretched. “First.”

“Yes.” Long Shiyan stepped forward.

“Name?”

“Yan Shi.”

“Age.”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” The blonde looked very surprised, and the people around her were similarly shocked.

“I am a seven-tailed beast cat. When I became one hundred years old, I became an adult. My tribe was destroyed a long time ago, so I don’t remember my actual age.” Long Shiyan’s lies were pretty good, and her own background story had already been formulated.

“The seven-tailed beast cats are a cherished race!” The ox-headed man next to her suddenly spoke up. “I thought the seven-tailed beast cat became extinct seven hundred years ago. I didn’t expect them to have a descendant.”

“I am the last of the seven-tailed beast cat race.” Long Shiyan’s eyes looked down as what she said wasn’t completely fake. It was a pity because the seven-tailed beast cats were a real and strong race back then.

“But you might be able to revive your clan someday!” The ox-headed man bowed and sat back in his original position.

The strangely dressed man handed her a form and asked if she could understand the general language. Then, he let her fill out the form.

Name: Yan Shi

Gender: Female

Age: Should not exceed twenty.

Race: Seven-tailed beast cat.

Level: Seventh-level épée-user and wind magician.

Home address: No place to live.

Family status: One family clan.

The strangely dressed man glanced through her information in bewilderment as his complexion changed. He asked, “So, which entrance exam do you wish to enter?”

“Seventh grade!” Ignoring everyone’s uproar, Long Shiyan turned a blind eye to them.

“Cough.” The strangely dressed man coughed and then concealed his awkwardness. “Of course, but the number of people enrolling in the seventh grade this year is very few. I don’t know whether or not you could attend our school, so you have to wait a bit. Here, this is for you.” He gave Long Shiyan a piece of paper with the Student Holy Spirit Group’s identification.

Long Shiyan took the identification and left.

Under the guidance of a female upperclassman, Long Shiyan arrived at where the assessment for seventh-grade students was held. Because the students graduate during their seventh year at the Holy Spirit Magic School, the people who wanted to reach the seventh-level as a swordsman or magician tried their best to join the school. Therefore, the seventh-level assessment was very strict.

But even so, there were still many people who wanted to squeeze into the assessment.

This was because by joining the Holy Spirit Magic School, they would have a future.

To hide her true strength, Long Shiyan participated in the mental test, the gravity test, the magic test, all of which attained an average score. Of course, this was only to keep her strength hidden. If her current strength was fully exerted, then she would be equivalent to a ninth-level swordsman or magician.

She was very powerful! Compared to most geniuses, she was unparalleled and in the lead.

But she couldn’t be considered someone who was defying the heavens. Nowadays, if Long Aotian suddenly jumped into the Sword Saint realm, he would be able to beat everyone up. No one would be able to step over him as his fate couldn’t be controlled by the heavens. Even if the heavens, or the Radiant God, came to attack him, he would be able to defeat them. However, the God of Creation would remain indifferent.

Of course, Long Shiyan did not know whether or not today’s Long Aotian still had the ability to become a Sword Saint right away like in the original. After all, she had eliminated so many parts of his protagonist halo.

Naturally, even if he couldn’t break through realms as easily, his current situation was definitely not worse than the original. Moreover, he still had a dragon and could thus become a dragon knight.

As a dragon knight, ninth-level swordsman, and seventh-level magician, defeating an ordinary Sword Saint should be no problem!

The system once said that since Long Aotian had already discovered that someone was trying to destroy his destiny, someone must have told him.

It could be said that she was not the real Long Shiyan, and she was also a villainess from another dimension who took the original Long Shiyan’s place to reincarnate. The specifics were so bad that if Long Aotian, who initially had a good impression of Long Shiyan, found out, then he would despise her. Furthermore, she didn’t know how to explain it to him without causing him to hate her.

In short, if she was exposed, they couldn’t avoid a fierce battle. And she, in order to crush Long Aotian’s halo, had to suppress him. Of course, their strength shouldn’t differ by much.

Finally, after a series of assessments, both Long Shiyan and Long Aotian successfully entered the Holy Spirit Magic School. He became a senior at the Holy Spirit Magic School.

Because Long Shiyan and Long Aotian were both playing pigs to eat tigers, the strengths of both of them were graded very similarly, which led to them being assigned to the same class with the same homeroom teacher.

Currently, their teacher had begun to train them by using whips.

In the spacious and hot training ground, several individuals were doing leapfrog exercises for training. This leapfrog exercise was not an ordinary exercise as they had to haul a heavy bag on their backs.

They were a group consisting of men and women who ranged from sixteen to twenty years old.

“Pa!”

A whip.

“Pa! Pa!”

Two whips.

“Pa! Pa! Pa!”

After the whippings, several people wailed as they fell onto the ground.

“Faster!!!”

A loud voice rang.

Long Aotian, ​​who was still pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, jumped a few times and reached the finish line. The fat man next to him noticed that Long Aotian was hopping at speeds that made him feel moved. “Hey, kid! You really have quite some physical strength! You managed to move efficiently at the right time!”

“This is called ‘technique’!” Long Aotian wiped his sweat and smirked.

“This is his technique?” The man didn’t have time to roll his eyes as a strong gust of wind quickly carried him away. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, two men were carried back to the starting line. Afterward, they were briefly told, “Sorry! If you’re not in the top ten, then you have to return to the beginning and do it all over again until you are within the top ten.”

“The top ten?” The two men who fell exchanged glances with each other and quickly climbed up. If they didn’t count incorrectly, it seemed that nine other people had already cleared this training. By including the little boy who just passed them, the count would reach ten.
