New Father: Empress Appearing On My Doorstep With Our Daughters Chapter 423 - Formation Assessment!

Chapter 423: Formation Assessment!

When they saw the four words on the stone tablet, Qi Baitian and the others revealed looks of awe.
As expected of the empress. Not only was her calligraphy striking, but her words were also majestic.
Contribute to the country with martial force!
In just a few words, it explained the purpose of the Divine Martial Academy.
This mantra was enough to be admired by generations!!!
Donghuang Ziyou then asked Qi Baitian, “The academy’s enrollment has already begun, right?”
Qi Baitian nodded. “Yes, according to Your Majesty’s request, the enrollment was not delayed at all.”
“Before you came, the elders in charge of recruiting students in the academy were already testing the first batch of people on the mountain at the front.”
Donghuang Ziyou nodded slightly. “That’s good.”
Qi Baitian said, “The assessment process is relatively long. Please enter the hall to rest with the Consort!”
Because the recruitment test of the Divine Martial Academy was personally set by Donghuang Ziyou, she wanted to see how the people chosen in the end were.
She did this to test if the system she had created was perfect.
The test in the early stages was long and boring. To avoid bringing pressure to the students who came to register, Donghuang Ziyou naturally didn’t have to appear personally.
So she nodded and brought the babies into the main hall of the academy with Lin Xuan. They rested and waited.
… .
Mystic Cloud Sect.
Yao Rui pleaded, “Father, let me go to the Divine Martial Academy to see Yi Chen once!”
Yao Tianrong sighed heavily. “Rui’er, Yi Chen isn’t a promising person. There will be no good outcome if you continue to pester him!”
“You have to understand that you can’t see. Compared to ordinary women, you need a man who can protect you forever and give you happiness and safety, but Yi Chen can’t!”
“This child is extremely talented, but he’s spouting nonsense. He’s definitely an impetuous and shameless person. It’s impossible for Daddy to let you interact with him again!”
“No!” Yao Rui shook her head. “Father, you don’t understand Yi Chen at all! He’s not such a person!”
“Hmph, stop talking!” Yao Tianrong revealed a hint of anger. “In any case, I will never allow you to see him!”
With that, he walked to the entrance of the yard angrily.
Tap! Tap!
The voice behind him made him stop.
“Rui’er, why did you do this?”
Yao Tianrong turned around and looked at Yao Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, with heartache.
Yao Rui said, “Father, I’m blind, but I’m not stupid. I believe Yi Chen!”
“Father, please bring me to the Divine Martial Academy. If he’s really spouting nonsense, I swear I’ll fight him to the death!”
Seeing how determined Yao Rui was, Yao Tianrong gritted his teeth after some thought. “Alright! I promise you!”
He thought to himself that Yi Chen’s limit had been set and he definitely wouldn’t be able to enter the Divine Martial Academy. Going would be a good opportunity for Rui’er to completely give up on him.
Yao Rui gritted her teeth.
“Yi Chen, I believe you will not disappoint me!”
… .
On the southernmost mountain peak of the Martial Dawn Mountain Range.
There was a huge open ground at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, it was filled with people. There were definitely no less than a million people.
A large number of them were fifteen or sixteen years old.
They were young geniuses from North Mystic Heaven and Dongyuan Heaven.
They had the desire to make contributions.
They all wanted to enter the Divine Martial Academy.
From then on, they would became the military martial gods of the two countries in the future.
Among them was the young man, Yi Chen!
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd around him, Yi Chen’s eyes revealed an incomparably determined expression.
“Rui’er, don’t worry. I will definitely make a name for myself and marry you gloriously!”
Ever since he met Yao Rui, Yi Chen had sworn to marry her!
Thinking about Yao Rui’s voice and smile, Yi Chen walked forward proudly.
“Yi Chen?”
A shocked voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
Yi Chen turned around and saw two youths looking at him in shock.
“Zhang Heng, Luo Junjie!”
Yi Chen muttered these two names.
These two youths were once his fellow disciples.
Back then, the three of them had joined the Wind Spirit Sect together and become outer sect disciples.
In the following years, Zhang Heng and Luo Junjie, who were originally about as talented as Yi Chen, actually awakened their cultivation talent overnight and were treated by the sect as the chosen ones.
As expected, they didn’t disappoint. Their cultivation levels soared and they reached the peak of the Mystic Realm at the age of eleven.
At that time, Yi Chen was only at the Postnatal Realm and was worlds apart from them.
This difference made Yi Chen suffer the criticism and discrimination of the Wind Spirit Sect’s disciples.
Yi Chen felt that strength was respected in the martial arts world. His talent was extremely poor, so if he continued to stay in the Wind Spirit Sect, he would only become a joke in the eyes of others.
So he took the initiative to leave the Wind Spirit Sect and search for his own opportunities.
Now, he had finally obtained his opportunity.
Furthermore, it could be seen at a glance that Zhang Heng and Luo Junjie were both at the mid-stage Spiritual Wheel Realm.
This cultivation level was already very powerful for a fifteen to sixteen-year-old youth.
But in Yi Chen’s eyes, it was nothing!
Zhang Heng and Luo Junjie sized up Yi Chen and shook their heads.
In their opinion, it was really too disappointing that Yi Chen hadn’t improved in so many years.
“You’re also here to compete for the spot to enter the Divine Martial Academy?” Zhang Heng asked suspiciously.
“Yes.” Yi Chen nodded and turned to walk forward.
Zhang Heng and Luo Junjie looked at each other in shock.
“This person’s cultivation hasn’t improved in so many years, but his temper has become much worse!”
After shaking their heads, they couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Yi Chen, who was destined to fail, and walked towards the mountain in front of them.
They saw that halfway up the mountain, three old men in their fifties stood on the back of a huge Black-feathered Cloud Sparrow and looked down at the million people.
They were the three elders in charge of the entrance examination, Chen Fengtao, Dou Yuanlong, and Gong Chunhai.
Chen Fengtao pointed at a platform halfway up the mountain and said,
“There are a total of fifty thousand steps from the foot of the mountain to this platform.”
“This is a large formation set up by Her Majesty. Only people at the Spiritual Wheel Stage can reach the end.”
“With every step forward, the resistance you encounter will increase correspondingly.”
“You have to start from the first step and walk to the top step by step before you can obtain the initial qualifications to enter the Divine Martial Academy!”
Everyone looked up and saw a faint golden luster lingering on these steps.
It was obvious that this golden light was Empress Mystic Ice’s formation.
Only people with strength and perseverance could reach the end.
As for those who had reached the Spiritual Wheel Stage but were mentally weak definitely had no chance of reaching the top.
“As expected of the test set by Her Majesty. It’s extremely difficult!”
When everyone thought of this, they were even more impressed by Donghuang Ziyou.
At the same time, they knew that the greater the challenge, the greater the rewards.
So they worked hard and rushed towards the steps on the mountain.
Phew ~
When someone stepped onto the first step, the golden light lingering on it suddenly flashed.
Everyone felt their feet and their bodies sink. A mysterious pressure suddenly lingered around their bodies.
Yi Chen, who was mixed in the crowd, had a confident smile on his face as he continued walking up unhurriedly.
Along the way, he saw people around him being eliminated with every step he took.
In the blink of an eye, he had taken a thousand steps, but he was still walking calmly.
After ten thousand steps, more than half of the millions of people had been eliminated.
After reaching the twenty thousand steps, Yi Chen saw that there were only about a hundred thousand people nearby.
After the 40,000th step, there were less than 30,000 people left.
“God, at the 40,000th step, more than 90% of the people have been eliminated. This formation is really too terrifying!”
Countless people sighed in despair behind him.
However, Yi Chen was calm.
There was an extremely sharp sword energy in his body that swam around his body and helped him offset the pressure brought about by the formation.
When he thought of his promise to Yao Rui, he pressed forward.
Soon, he and the other five thousand people ascended the high platform.
Zhang Heng and Luo Junjie finally discovered Yi Chen in the crowd.
The two of them were stunned.
They didn’t expect Yi Chen, who didn’t even have a Mystic Realm cultivation level, to also ascend the high platform.
They felt that Yi Chen must have some secret!
