"As for the third type, that is naturally formed earth fire and heaven fire, which are collectively called strange fire. As we all know, pills refined with strange fire have the fewest impurities and the best effects. However, strange fire is rare..."

This half-day was spent listening to Teacher Liu's words.

Teacher Liu looked up at the sky outside the window and then ended the lecture.

"Tomorrow, you will each choose one of the following to cultivate: alchemy, weapon crafting, formation, or talisman. Go back and think about which one suits you best."

Teacher Liu said a few more words, and then turned to leave.

"Oh, right!" He took a step forward, then stepped back: "I almost forgot to mention, before the dean left, he instructed that there are reserve students in your class. Before the classes are divided, you will be challenged by them, and those who lose will have their identities swapped with the other person."

"Everyone, do your best tomorrow. Among the reserve team members, there are two who have already suddenly become Grand Spirit Masters."

Teacher Liu's words sounded rather gloating, and after saying that, he quickly left.

A group of students were left behind in the Guisi Hall, sighing and lamenting.

It should be noted that two of them were already at the Spirit Master level, having advanced through sheer luck. They thought the matter was settled, but who knew they would have to compete again.

Apart from these two, the rest of the people also looked worried, fearing that the prospective trainees might accidentally steal their positions as official trainees.

Today, Lin Jingge and Tang Cheng did not go to the night market. In the past two weeks, Lin Jingge and Tang Cheng have earned a lot of spirit stones.

Lin Jingge had been wondering why she couldn't ripen more than two oranges before, but then she realized that blood oranges were level five, and she had already skipped a level. Being able to ripen two was already quite an achievement.

This is the fundamental reason why that young master Wang was so generous in giving away a handful of blood orange seeds.

Having figured things out, Lin Jingge never let go of spirit stones when she was stimulating the growth of the blood orange seeds.

This prevented her spiritual energy from being completely depleted.

I was lucky at the night market and received quite a few seeds, and business was booming.

Tang Cheng was clearly very nervous about the second day of the competition.

Lin Jingge gave her a blood orange, then dragged Tang Cheng, who had been talking to her, to bed.

I slept well all night.

The next day, a number of people were already waiting at the arena not far from the Trial Tower.

When Lin Jingge arrived, she could see from afar that all ten prospective trainees had already arrived.

"Oh my god!" Tang Cheng exclaimed when she saw someone in the crowd, and quickly pulled Lin Jingge, who was still walking forward, aside.

"Gege, look at that person!" Tang Cheng's almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at a person in front of her.

Lin Jingge looked in the direction of Tang Cheng's gaze.

Coincidentally, the man was turning his head to talk to a woman next to him.

This action allowed Lin Jingge to see the person's face even more clearly!

It was the person she eliminated with her energy gun!

That Spirit King!

It was through this competition that Lin Jingge realized what it meant to be outmatched and to have a higher level of understanding.

I originally thought there were only two Spirit Kings, but I didn't expect so many people to be hiding their strength.

This year's batch of students is significantly stronger than in previous years, and there are more and more talented individuals in each region.

It should be noted that in previous years, Spirit Masters were eligible for selection, and Grand Spirit Masters above the Spirit Master level were highly sought after by the four major academies. Spirit Sect Masters above the Grand Spirit Master level at this age were all monstrous talents.

As a result, this year, Grand Spirit Masters have become commonplace, and the number of Spirit Sect members is several times that of previous years. Not to mention, there are also several Spirit Kings!

"He actually came to the South Campus too! Gege, we're doomed!" Tang Cheng said with a mournful face.

That's the Spirit King, who could kill her in one move!

"It's alright, don't be afraid." Lin Jingge frowned as well. Although she was worried that the Spirit King would hold a grudge, she still comforted Tang Cheng.

"What are you doing here?!" Lin Fu suddenly slapped Tang Cheng on the back from behind.

Originally immersed in the sorrow and pain of being about to be avenged by the Spirit King, Lin Fu's slap startled him, and he screamed and jumped away immediately.

Her actions and voice attracted a lot of attention.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death!"

Tang Cheng patted her chest to calm herself down. Upon recognizing Lin Fu, she instantly flew into a rage.

Forget about sorrow and grief, he rushed in front of Lin Fu and stomped on his foot hard.

"Are you crazy?! Don't you know that scaring someone can kill them?!" Tang Cheng said angrily.

The two had already become familiar with each other, so Lin Fu wasn't angry even though he was being scolded.

He hadn't expected Tang Cheng to react so strongly, and immediately apologized politely.

After calming Tang Cheng down, Lin Fu asked, "By the way, why aren't you going over there? What are you doing standing here?"

Then Tang Cheng explained the reason.

Lin Fuzhou and Xuan were also very surprised to hear this.

After choosing their colleges, they didn't pay attention to the choices of those who didn't advance, and who knew they would encounter this person in the South College.

What's going on at the South Campus? Even someone like Lin Jingge from Canglan might not know, but surely the locals of Yunding are aware of it?

Even based on his own cultivation level, that person could directly apply to join the Cloud Cauldron Sect!

"Don't think too much about it, let's take it one step at a time," Lin Jingge sighed, pulling Tang Cheng forward.

Now, only the four of them are left ahead.

Time was up, and a figure flew onto the arena.

Students at the South Campus cannot fly, but instructors can.

"I am Teacher Liu, who is hosting your competition today. Now, let me explain the rules."

With his hands behind his back, if you ignored the somewhat comical grains on his hands, Teacher Liu actually had the air of a master.

"This competition is a contest where prospective students challenge formal students. The winner will be able to replace a formal student and become a formal student."

"Now, everyone, start choosing your opponents."

After finishing speaking, Teacher Liu flew off the stage and sat down in the spectator area.

There were plenty of seats on both sides of the arena, and some senior students who didn't have classes and liked to join in the fun sat down to watch the competition.

Before anyone could react, one person stepped onto the stage.

His gaze swept over the students on his right.

Finally, their gaze settled on Tang Cheng, who kept her head down and kept saying, "Don't choose me."

“I choose her!” the man said, pointing at Tang Cheng.

In her opinion, Tang Cheng was fair-skinned, delicate, and looked like someone who was easy to bully. Choosing her would definitely increase his chances of advancing.

As for why he didn't choose Lin Jinge? Because Lin Jinge had a stern face and a cold gaze; just one look at her was enough to make one feel a little scared.

Upon hearing the voice, Tang Cheng instinctively looked up and saw that the person's finger was pointing directly at her.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he pointed at himself: "Me?"
