Chapter 405: Chapter 396: Only Genius Monsters May Enter

...

Walking in the direction of the city’s south, Mo Wangchen and his companions were followed by many people curious to see what the fuss was about.

"What’s going on? It’s like we’re really popular or something." Zhuo Bufan was a bit dazed, unclear about what was happening.

"The Hidden Dragon Academy has been established for some time now, and Zhou Tong seems to have joined the Hidden Dragon Academy. He has gained a bit of fame in the city of Lingshan as well, so naturally, when Thirteen made a move against him, it sparked a lot of curiosity."

"Thirteen had already made a name for himself in the Canglan Star Domain when he pursued Ye Qian in the Fallen Immortal Forest. It seems those people recognized him and followed to join in the excitement."

In the midst of their conversation, the group finally arrived at the location of the Hidden Dragon Academy.

Looking ahead, the entrance of the Hidden Dragon Academy was crowded, mostly with young individuals, quite a few of Saint Level.

"The gates are closed?"

Wu Lingfeng looked over, only to see that the gates of the Hidden Dragon Academy were formed of two massive stone gates, and those gates were engraved with dense ancient inscriptions, permeated with the aura of Tao Laws.

"It seems that one must break through this stone gate to enter and thus earn the qualification to join the Hidden Dragon Academy," addressed Yao Chuxia.

"Thirteen has the Hidden Dragon Token, so he doesn’t need to strike at this stone gate. Unfortunately, we are not afforded that luxury."

"This gate is so massive and contains the Tao Laws, similar to the Immortal Gates that appear when attempting a breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm. However, by the feel of its aura, breaking through this gate may be even more difficult than striking through the Immortal Gate when breaking through to the Nirvana Realm."

"What do you think? Who wants to try first?" While everyone was discussing, they had approached close to the gates.

"Let’s watch someone else first," Zhuo Bufan suggested.

Not long after, a tall youth emerged from the crowd. His entire body was surrounded by Holy Light, his fists clenched tightly as he unleashed an explosive Golden Radiance, dazzling to the eyes, and struck the stone gate with a mighty punch.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed, like the collision of two great mountains, causing eardrums to tremble and shaking the ground at that moment.

"Such immense power, that person must, at the very least, possess a Cultivation of the seven transformations within the Nirvana Realm!" exclaimed Wu Lingfeng, tongue-tied, slightly astonished as the youth’s released power could seemingly shatter a mountain. However, after his punch, the gate of the Hidden Dragon Academy remained motionless, showing no signs of being disturbed.

"No way, with such a punch, even those at the Nirvana Realm Peak would likely not dare to face it head-on, and yet the gate doesn’t budge an inch," Zhuo Bufan was somewhat taken aback.

The tall youth shook his head and sighed, seeming to have mustered his strength for that punch for a long time, yet failing to make the stone gate move, which left him disheartened. Then, he returned to the crowd, sat down to meditate and regulate his breath, preparing himself thoroughly before attempting again.

"Who among you wants to go first?" Mo Wangchen looked at the group and asked.

"I’ll do it," Wu Lingfeng stepped forward, his eyes sparkling with eagerness.

"The True Dragon Body of Old Wu is known as the current Divine Body of Beiming. If even he can’t break open the stone gate, then the rest of us stand even less of a chance," the group remarked, watching Wu Lingfeng step forward.

Boom!

In no time, Wu Lingfeng had reached the stone gate, and at this moment, Divine Rainbows exploded from his body, blindingly bright as currents of air surged around him, making his clothes flutter.

"Who is this man?"

"He seems to be a newcomer, and his aura isn’t weak. He should be at the sixth or seventh transformation level of the Nirvana Realm."

The space in front of the gate had gathered quite a crowd now, mostly young Saint-level characters. Over these several days, many had succeeded in breaking the stone gate, earning their qualification to join the Hidden Dragon Academy.

Boom!

In the midst of the discussions, Wu Lingfeng clenched his fist tightly, surrounded by a Holy Light from head to toe, making him resemble the offspring of an Immortal, his punch exploding forward like a mountain hurtling down, the sound of it shaking the heavens and earth, causing people’s scalps to tingle.

Crack!

The next moment, right after his punch, cracks emerged at the point of impact, rapidly spreading and, in the blink of an eye, covering the entire stone gate.

With a thunderous boom, the stone gate shattered completely, sending dust billowing in all directions.

"How is that possible?!"

"Another freak of nature! He actually smashed the stone gate with a single punch!"

Everyone on site was astounded, all involuntarily inhaling sharply. In recent times, there had been more than a few who had broken the stone gate, but very few could pulverize it entirely with a single punch like Wu Lingfeng!

"Hidden Dragon Academy opens its doors only to unparalleled geniuses and monsters, I am here just to represent Hidden Dragon Academy, welcoming you to join us."

Behind the demolished stone gate, an old man with white hair was seated cross-legged. At the moment of the gate’s destruction, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Wu Lingfeng.

This was an elder who had reached the Peak of Saint Venerable, his Cultivation touching the heavens. The moment he opened his eyes, Mo Wangchen and the rest clearly felt a tremor in their hearts as they saw mysterious Laws surge within his gaze.

"This is an existence with one foot already in the Emperor Realm, probably even more terrifying than the Reincarnated Buddha of Lingshan," Zhuo Bufan said in amazement.

Hum!

The elder waved his grand sleeve across the Void, and a Token flew into Wu Lingfeng’s hand. It was the Hidden Dragon Token, signifying that henceforth, Wu Lingfeng would be part of the Hidden Dragon Academy.

"Thank you!" Wu Lingfeng bowed slightly to the elder and then turned around, showing no immediate intention to enter, instead returning to Mo Wangchen and the others.

"This man’s Body is extraordinary, probably even more fearsome than the former Little Peng King!"

As Wu Lingfeng walked back, many around them discussed, their eyes revealing a sense of wariness.

"Elder Brother, well done for blasting open the stone gate so dominantly!" Ren Qingcheng and the others joked with laughter.

"It was alright, the gate contained powerful Tao Laws. Without Cultivating the True Dragon Technique, relying solely on the True Dragon Body, I might not have been able to break it with one punch," said Wu Lingfeng as he slowly exhaled.

"Could it be that the power of the Ancient Scripture greatly aids in striking this gate?" Zhuo Bufan’s eyes brightened as he spoke.

If that was truly the case, then for them, it would be much simpler, after all, they were all inheritors of the Longevity Scripture.

"Hidden Dragon Academy set up this gate, perhaps deliberately as an act of consideration for those who have Cultivated the Ancient Scriptures, for even though they might not have high Cultivation, their potential is boundless. Such individuals are worth nurturing for Hidden Dragon Academy," Mo Wangchen hypothesized.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao’s brow furrowed slightly. Among their group, aside from Lin Jing, he was the only one who had not Cultivated the Ancient Scriptures. The gate was terrifyingly strong; not even the tall man from earlier could shake it in the slightest. Now, with only the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Realm, he feared it would be extremely difficult to break.

"You go try. Sword Intent and the power of Tao Laws are not far apart, and although your Cultivation is somewhat lower, it still might not be impossible," Mo Wangchen turned to Zhang Hao and said.

Zhang Hao nodded, immediately stepping forward.

"This person doesn’t seem strong in Cultivation, but since he is with the one who just punched apart the stone gate, who knows what other means he may have?"

As Zhang Hao stepped out, everyone’s gaze immediately fell upon him.

The sight of Wu Lingfeng shattering the stone gate with a single punch had indeed been deeply impactful. Now that Zhang Hao and the others were accompanying him, they too were likely to possess some unknown methods.

"I came from a small town, and now that I’m here, there’s no way I would retreat. There was a time when I couldn’t even imagine reaching such heights, contending with the proud talents of the Ten Thousand Realms..."

Under the watchful eyes of the entire assembly, Zhang Hao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a change in his gaze; it became colder and seemed capable of piercing through one’s heart. The Youlong Sword appeared in his hand, which he slowly drew out with a Swordsman’s transcendent temperament displayed to the utmost.
