It is the [Palace of Myriad Images].”
The middle-aged man on the stage said warmly.
Tonight, Lin Xiuxian didn’t come.
According to the middle-aged man, Dean Lin had something come up and would be arriving later.
“The Palace of Myriad Images?”
Many of the students looked confused, clearly unaware of what the [Palace of Myriad Images] was.
If Lin Xiuxian were here, he would certainly be berating them by now.
But the middle-aged man seemed to have a good temper and said with a warm smile, “Actually, if you browse the school’s forum, you can come across the examination items from previous years. You can go back tonight and study them well. I will explain the assessment content of the [Palace of Myriad Images] here.”
Everyone sat up straight, listening very seriously.
“In the [Palace of Myriad Images], each of you will enter the same Illusory Realm. As for what the Illusory Realm instance is, that will be decided by the dean personally. The time for the assessment is tomorrow morning at seven o’clock, also two hours in duration. The fastest person to emerge from the Illusory Realm will be declared the winner, and the rankings will follow accordingly. What you need to do is get a good night’s rest, build up your energy, and remember to have breakfast tomorrow. The flow of time in the Illusory Realm differs from reality. If you have any questions, you can ask them now.”
The first to raise a hand was someone in the back row on the left.
“Go ahead,” the middle-aged man nodded in acknowledgement.
Many students turned to look back.
It was that guy again.
A murmur of whispers arose.
“Him again?”
“Why does he have so many questions?”
The boy stood up, first politely greeting the teacher, then asked under the middle-aged man’s agreeable gaze, “I studied this instance on the forum yesterday. Since it’s an Illusory Realm, how can we use our Transcendent abilities? Won’t it cause some harm in reality?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. There will be a specialized defensive formation at each candidate’s location which can block a full-force attack from an Extraordinary Eighth Rank. So you don’t have to worry about your safety,” the middle-aged man indicated, “Any other questions?”
“Teacher, I want to ask another question,” the boy said.
The middle-aged man nodded for him to proceed.
The boy asked, “After we enter the Illusory Realm, is there a chance we won’t be able to wake up?”
Someone snorted disdainfully: “An Illusory Realm – can’t you tell apart?”
At this point, the middle-aged man said seriously, “In previous years there have indeed been such cases, rare, yet they do exist. So I also need to remind you, stick to your own path and don’t be confused by other things.”
“Then teacher, what if we fail to wake up?” a girl asked timidly.
Looking at her, the middle-aged man said gravely, “Then we will intervene forcefully to pull you out of the Illusory Realm.”
“And the consequences?” Zhong Taishu suddenly asked in a deep voice.
All eyes turned to him.
He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
The middle-aged man said slowly, “The consequence is irreversible damage to your spiritual power and the possibility of regressing in realm. We would then have to regretfully inform you that you must withdraw from the assessment.”
“Ah?”
There was an outcry among the students.
The middle-aged man was not surprised by the students’ reactions and continued, “Of course, don’t worry. Although passing this test proves a potential issue, those who wish to study at Dragon City martial arts university in the future can still do so. Any more questions?”
For some reason.
Some of the students suddenly felt a chill.
“Any more questions?” the middle-aged man asked again.
After a moment of silence.
Liu Limin suddenly raised his hand and said, “Teacher, may I ask, after we enter the Illusory Realm, will our use of Transcendent abilities in reality be able to harm enemies within the Illusory Realm?”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man merely smiled, “You’ll know once you enter. Let me emphasize one more thing – do not underestimate it because it is an Illusory Realm. This realm was created collectively by over a hundred powerful individuals, and all of its content is quite realistic. Your actions and logic determine your fate, so I advise you not to act rashly against characters within the Illusory Realm. The consequences may not be something you can bear.”
He looked around the room.
Then gestured to the projection screen.
“The reward for this assessment is Calming Incense, a total of one thousand sticks. You’ve all heard of Calming Incense, right? When lit, it allows one to concentrate on cultivating. The cultivation speed of Breathing Methods will also accelerate, even Extraordinary Ninth Rank users employ this Calming Incense.
As with the old rule, the first place will enjoy 50%, the second will enjoy 20%, the third will enjoy 10%… the rest will be divided among those who pass the assessment.”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up with eagerness.
… …
A moment later.
The pre-examination meeting ended with the middle-aged man’s departure.
As the middle-aged man left, the classroom started to buzz with excitement.
“This [Palace of Myriad Images] seems somewhat unusual, doesn’t it?”
“I’ve heard from an older student that this [Palace of Myriad Images] is one of the ten hell-level instances in the research institute’s assessment. Can’t believe we actually ran into it.”
“What exactly is Lin Xiuxian trying to do? He personally finalizes the items for the preliminary exams; is he planning for us to die?”
“The Great Emperor is merciless; you’re just realizing this now?”
“But does anyone know about this [Palace of Myriad Images]?”
“Search the forum, you can find everything there.”
… …
As the discussion went on.
Liu Limin’s face was a picture of misery: “I’m done for this time, I feel like I’m going to fail tomorrow’s assessment.”
Pei Jinye looked over and shook his head, saying, “You’re too nervous, the key to the Illusory Realm assessment is to be stable, just keep your mindset steady.”
“Really?” Liu Limin looked over hopefully.
At that moment, a voice of contempt came from the side: “Thinking you can do it all?”
Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun both looked over at the same time.
The speaker was Dong Chengshuang.
This was the same person who attacked Pei Jinye that morning and almost got killed by Pei Jinye in return.
“Is your face not hurting anymore?” Liu Limin stepped up in front of Pei Jinye and taunted.
Dong Chengshuang had taken a swing at all three of them.
With a sullen face, Dong Chengshuang sneered, “A bunch of losers.”
Cao Yingjun felt embarrassed, but Liu Limin teased with a cheeky grin, “I’m just saying, you know how bad you look. If you’re jealous of Pei Jinye, just say it straight, what’s with the sneering? Oh right, I haven’t asked – what rank did you get in the first test? Don’t tell me you didn’t make the list? That can’t be, right?”
Fury flashed across Dong Chengshuang’s face.
Just as he was about to react.
Pei Jinye tapped on the desk and said calmly to him: “I don’t mind fair competition, but if you’re looking to start trouble, I can beat you once and I can do it a second time, doubt it if you dare.”
When Pei Jinye said this, he didn’t have an aggressive posture, but it was this calm tone that made Dong Chengshuang suddenly feel a bit intimidated.
He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked away.
After taking a couple of steps, he looked back at Pei Jinye, “Tomorrow, just wait! I’ll see how you can still be so arrogant!”
He left quickly.
As if he was afraid that Pei Jinye might chase after him and give him a beating.
Dong Chengshuang didn’t think he was much weaker than Pei Jinye; he only felt that his transcendent abilities were restricted, which was why he had been defeated by Pei Jinye.
Otherwise, he would certainly have shown Pei Jinye a thing or two!
…
“A jumping clown,” Liu Limin snorted disdainfully, looking at Pei Jinye and Cao Yingjun, “Have you guys eaten this afternoon? How about we go out for a meal tonight?”
Pei Jinye shrugged his shoulders, “Sure.”
Cao Yingjun hesitated, “Aren’t you guys worried about tomorrow morning’s exam?”
Pei Jinye laughed, “Tomorrow’s exam isn’t something you can cram for at the last minute. Relax, take it easy, get a good night’s sleep, and then take the exam.”
Hearing this, Cao Yingjun didn’t insist any further.
“By the way, where is Uncle Zhong? Should we wait for him?” Liu Limin suddenly remembered another fellow in the dormitory.
But when he looked back,
Zhong Taishu was already gone.
Liu Limin was somewhat puzzled.
“Didn’t he come today? It seems like I remember he was here,” he said.
“I just saw him leaving with his companion,” Cao Yingjun indicated.
Liu Limin scratched his head, “He seems to be quite a character, pretty mysterious.”
Cao Yingjun just shrugged his shoulders.
Before he could say anything,
he noticed Pei Jinye greeting someone. When he looked over, his pupils constricted.
Murong Xiyue…
He stealthily glanced at Pei Jinye.
Truth be told, he had never been able to see through Pei Jinye.
He hadn’t expected that Pei Jinye would know so many influential young masters and mistresses.
Daughters of the Ji Family… Daughters of the Murong Family…
What else didn’t he know about his roommate?
As he was thinking about this,
suddenly a figure walked over, expertly putting an arm around Pei Jinye’s shoulder, “Old Pei, where are you headed without me? Take your bro along.”
“Going for supper, coming?” asked Pei Jinye with an annoyed expression.
“Sure,” the figure replied.
“Ji Wutian?” Liu Limin looked at the newcomer in surprise.
Ji Wutian looked at him, then said with a smile to Pei Jinye, “Your friend?”
Pei Jinye nodded, “Yep.”
Ji Wutian extended his hand and shook hands with Liu Limin, “Buddy, you really opened my eyes yesterday.”
Liu Limin looked flattered as he shook hands with Ji Wutian, “It’s nothing, really.”
Ji Wutian smiled and shook hands with Cao Yingjun as well, “Do you all know Dragon City well?”
“I’m also from Dragon City,” Liu Limin hurriedly said.
Ji Wutian looked surprised and then asked, “Then you must know where the good supper spots are.”
“Zhongyi Street.”
They looked at each other and shared a knowing smile.
Together, the four of them headed towards the classroom door.
Meanwhile, inside the classroom,
Luo Yizhou, who was alone, was stopped by Lin Shenying.
“Luo Yizhou, I really appreciate you. There aren’t many people who can earn my friendship in this world; I hope you can be one of them.”
…
At the doorway,
someone came looking for them.
Ji Wutian and Liu Limin, along with the other one, had gone ahead to the door, creating some private space.
They thought the visitor knew Pei Jinye.
But that was not the case at all.
At this moment, the senior student who had appeared looked at Pei Jinye, “It’s really impressive that you were able to take first place this morning. We seniors have been keeping an eye on things, and honestly, your emergence as a dark horse was truly unexpected…”
“Senior, just come out with it,” Pei Jinye stated calmly.
He could see through the hypocrisy in the young man’s smile at a glance.
He wasn’t in the mood for nonsense.
Pretending to be an ordinary person who keeps a low profile was tiring enough.
The young man paused and then said with a smile, “You’re straightforward, I like that. Since we’re clear, I’ll get to the point. Can you let me have your Small Yuandan?”
Pei Jinye looked on without a word.
The young man rubbed his hands together, clearing his throat, “Your exam content tomorrow morning’s is ‘Palace of Myriad Images’, right? So, if you give me the Small Yuandan, I’ll provide you with all the examination materials of the Palace of Myriad Images, guaranteeing you a pass.”
“Let’s be honest, were you sent here by Lin Shenying?” Pei Jinye asked. “He already made me an offer, and I didn’t accept it.”
“Don’t rush to reject me just yet. ‘Palace of Myriad Images’ isn’t as simple as you think. I can assure you that I have a way to guarantee you pass,” the young man responded.

With his hands spread in a gesture, he said, “Because I am an Extraordinary Psychic Class Fifth Rank.”
As he said this,
he displayed a supremely confident smile.
But whereas he was expecting to see Pei Jinye look at him with awe… there was none!
Pei Jinye looked at him as if he were looking at a fool.
“Extraordinary Fifth Rank, is that supposed to be strong?”
