"Not happy? If you're not happy, then test us!" they said casually.

Judging from the cauldron tattoos on their school uniforms, they are all students from Jiuding High School.

The person walking in front, head held high and chest out, had nine tripods embroidered on their clothes. Then came six tripods walking with their heads down, and finally three tripods walking with their bodies slightly bowed.

They also saw the people from the Six Cauldrons fanning the Nine Cauldrons, while the Three Cauldrons served the Six Cauldrons, carrying their bags and shielding them from the sun with practiced ease.

Such a hierarchy and social status are quite clear at a glance...

The Xiande students who had been pushed aside fell silent instantly.

Several people from Jiuding High School caught Chen Yi's attention.

He sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Nine Cauldrons, which has fought Cangyan to a standstill, it is indeed full of experts!"

However, he was confident that he would get a share of the prizes out of the five!

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but because his cultivation had broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining yesterday, truly joining the ranks of the top!

"Still no one to greet us? Then let's just go with them!" The teacher leading the group in Xiande said helplessly.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount. If someone is stronger than you, they will treat you this way, and you can do nothing about it.

Even if the teacher in charge intervenes, the other teacher will handle it in the same way.

"Actually, this is also a way to temper one's Dao heart. Being indomitable and neither arrogant nor humble is a good thing..."

The teachers also had their own opinions.

"Remember this humiliation, and vent your anger in the examination room so that they will never dare to look down on you again!"

Several teachers leading the group glanced at Chen Yi in unison.

They knew that Chen Yi was not randomly assigned to this examination room, but was specifically brought here by Principal Ma.

Of course, this is nothing new.

This has been the case every year: whichever school wins first place, other schools will send some of their top-five competitors to the first-place school's exam venue the following year.

They were quite certain that other schools must have also sent their top talents.

"yes!"

The students of Xiande secretly remembered this grudge.

......

According to the rules, the joint entrance exam starts in the afternoon, so you can have lunch here first.

Of course, lunch is at your own expense; after all, with so many students, Cangyan isn't running a charity.

"Why are the prices at Cangyan High School's cafeteria cheaper than at our school?"

Someone discovered this problem.

For the same pre-cooked dishes, Cangyan can be one or two yuan cheaper than Xiande!

It may seem like there's not much difference, but if there are enough people, the profit margin can be enormous...

Sun Yu, the student life officer of Class 9, made a shushing gesture: "Shh! Don't ask questions, don't be curious, don't overthink!"

But all the students of Xiande already had a vague answer in their hearts.

At that moment, Ma Guangzhi, who was far away at Xiande Middle School, sneezed: "Achoo!"

He looked puzzled. Who was cursing me?

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, it couldn't possibly be a cold.

The only possible reason for his sneezing is a premonition that someone is cursing him!

The scene returns to the cafeteria of Cangyan High School.

The students from Sin Te Middle School finally managed to line up, but when it was their turn to get food, they were told, "Sorry, this cafeteria does not serve Sin Te students."

"What's the meaning?"

Many students from Xiande frowned.

"You should go to the fourth canteen; that's where you'll be served your meal this time," the cafeteria lady said expressionlessly.

The surrounding Cangyan students cast gloating glances their way.

The food in the fourth canteen is notoriously bad, and there isn't even a window selling spiritual food.

"This is outrageous!"

"It's because no one from you received us that we followed the main group here!"

At this moment, Chen Yi realized that what Hou Xiangheng and Sun Yu had said yesterday was not an exaggeration.

After a long bus ride of several hours, I arrived here, only to be met with a rude awakening before I even had a chance to eat.

Among the teachers leading the team in Xiande, one young teacher couldn't help but argue with the other party.

Ultimately, it came to nothing.

The response was that the food quota for each canteen is fixed, and that students from Xiande University crowding here would be disrupting order.

Teachers from other schools also helped negotiate a few words so as not to affect their own students' meals.

In the end, the teachers and students of Xiande had no choice but to move to the fourth canteen.

Chen Yi didn't care about this at all. Since he advanced to the tenth level of Qi Refining, his body's speed of absorbing spiritual energy had obviously increased.

Even if he doesn't eat or drink for several days, he can maintain his body's functions by breathing in spiritual energy.

I originally wanted to experience the unique features of Cangyan's cafeteria, but now I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for it anymore.

"Let's talk about it after the afternoon exams..."

Upon arriving at the fourth canteen, he immediately found a seat to meditate and absorb spiritual energy.

To be honest, he didn't know if the food at Cangyan Middle School suited his taste, but the spiritual energy was certainly to his liking...

Hou Xiangheng and Sun Yu carried a plate of food and walked towards Chen Yi.

The former cursed and said, "The Cangyan aren't like this to us, they're ruthless to their own people too!"

The reason was that after they arrived at the fourth canteen, they discovered that in addition to their own Xiande High School, there were also many students from Cangyan High School there.

But these people were all ostracized here because their grades weren't good enough.

Because the fourth canteen had to accommodate students from Xiande Middle School, some Cangyan students couldn't get seats and had to squat next to the slop buckets to eat, while others were forced by stronger individuals to eat in the toilets...

Seeing this, they were actually somewhat relieved, at least they still had seats.

The two sat near Chen Yi and, seeing that he remained unmoved, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "As expected of God Chen, he's going on a hunger strike to protest!"

"Bullshit! God Chen is different from us mortals; he no longer needs to eat grains and cereals."

The two chatted, half-jokingly.

In fact, they were both a little annoyed by such treatment, and the fact that they could joke about it like this proved that their Dao hearts were strong enough.

"Do you think if Chen Shen proves himself after the exam this afternoon, will the people from Cangyan show us more respect?" Hou Xiangheng asked.

"That's quite possible!" Sun Yu picked up his phone and switched to a message from last year's school forum.

"Last year, didn't we have a ruthless person in Xiande who ranked fifth? It's said that Cangyan's attitude towards us was very bad at first, but as that person performed better, it got much better later on."

Such is the school spirit of Cangyan High School: they are willing to give respect to the strong, but they treat the weak as nothing at all.

"That one..." Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Sun Yu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Chen Yi to be interested in this as well.

"Yu Shun! You know Yu Qian, right? One of the Three Golden Flowers, her brother is named Yu Shun."

Chen Yi looked slightly surprised.

I never imagined Yu Qian had an older brother...

"Isn't Yu Qian's family quite powerful? Her brother only ranked fifth in the joint entrance exam?"

Upon hearing Chen Yi's speech, Sun Yu and Hou Xiangheng gaped in astonishment.

Chen Shen!

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

This is a joint entrance exam for five schools!

"The Yu family has connections with Golden Core cultivators, but the difference between Golden Core cultivators is not ordinary."

In our Crimson Dragon Kingdom, there are many Golden Core cultivators, but those who are close to Nascent Soul are few and far between.

Those who rank at the top of Cangyan and Jiuding High Schools all have some connection to the Golden Core stage in their families.

"Furthermore, while Yu Shun ranked fifth in the Five Schools Joint Examination, his strength improved even more rapidly before the Immortal Examination. It is said that before he even graduated, he had already received recommendation letters from multiple sects, more than the four that had previously surpassed him, demonstrating his immense potential..."

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

Cultivating immortality is not about temporary glory, but about attaining a broad and virtuous path in the future.

There are the fall of geniuses and the rise of the seemingly useless. Fate and destiny are unpredictable, and countless heroes have fallen in the torrent of the pursuit of immortality...

After lunch, everyone went to their respective examination venues.

Chen Yi and the others went to the animal breeding farm of Cangyan High School.

"This...this is a livestock farm?"

Some of the students from the Immortal Virtue Sect stared blankly at other people's animal farms.

Chen Yi was also taken aback; this animal farm was like a Roman Colosseum magnified dozens of times.

On the lower level of the circular building, one could faintly hear the heavy breathing of the monsters.

Those seemingly mottled bricks and stones were able to withstand the attacks of the monsters.

"The scale here far surpasses that of Xiande. No wonder Qin Guan is always thinking about getting subsidies to upgrade the beast farm..."

Chen Yi now somewhat understood Qin Guan's thoughts.

If Xiande also had such a beast-breeding farm, then his Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python wouldn't have to squeeze into a large iron cage with the Crimson Flame Sparrow.

Although he was the master, the two of them lived in peace.

According to the managers of the animal farm, the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python always sneaks up at night, snatches the Crimson Flame Sparrow, and entangles it for a whole night.

But because of Chen Yi's orders, the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python could do nothing but get the Crimson Flame Sparrow covered in saliva...

"This is the examination hall for the beast-taming exam, which allows 16 candidates to take the exam at the same time," said the proctor from Cangyan High School.

Chen Yi sat in his seat, looking down at the vast field below, and nodded to himself.

The area below has been divided into sixteen zones, each connected to a door at the back, where unknown monsters reside.

"Next, students whose names are called will come up on stage."

"Ji Bochang, Bi Yuntao, Xiao Chusheng, Lu Guan..."

"...Sun Lang, Man Tian, ​​Chen Yi! The above sixteen people, please come to the stage within thirty seconds, otherwise it will be considered as abandonment of the exam, and the fee will not be refunded!"
