"His level in the Six Arts is quite good..." Su Xin commented.
Chen Yi's alchemy and weapon-making skills were already among the most outstanding of the Qi Refining stage cultivators she had ever seen.
It should be noted that, given her perspective, this evaluation is already quite good.
Chen Yi's alchemy and artifact crafting skills are definitely top-tier among immortals, even though he has only been involved in these two arts for less than a month.
However, Su Xin was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator and had seen many geniuses who had reached the level of a second-tier alchemist before even entering a cultivation academy.
However, if we also consider Chen Yi's cultivation level, Dao heart, body tempering, and magic, then the situation becomes quite different.
Even Su Xin couldn't help but feel incredibly confused.
How could such a talented person appear in a remote border city like Xiande?
"You really don't have any spiritual roots within you?"
Chen Yi shook his head: "With my background, how could I possibly have spiritual roots..."
"None of them had surgical transplants?" Su Xin pressed.
Chen Yi shook his head again.
"Alright, based on your performance, my evaluation is... pass," Su Xin said.
Now that she has taken over the original certification officer's position, she naturally has to do some practical work.
If Chen Yi truly didn't have innate spiritual roots, he probably wouldn't be the person Master was looking for.
After all, how can one establish a foundation for the Heavenly Dao without spiritual roots?
Unless you're cheating...
"This is your Foundation Establishment Certificate."
With a wave of her hand, an ID flew to Chen Yi's face.
"No way, Foundation Establishment really has certification?" Chen Yi muttered to himself.
He thought it was just a certification process, but he didn't expect there to actually be a certificate.
"With this certificate, you may legally establish your foundation within the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom," Su Xin said with a serious expression.
Chen Yi blinked and asked curiously, "What about outside the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?"
"That's not something you should be asking," Su Xin said coldly, flicking her sleeve.
"???"
Chen Yi was taken aback. Why such a big reaction? Could it be that you're not from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?
"Don't be too happy yet. This certificate is just a certificate. Your information hasn't been entered yet. Your information will be entered after I get back, and then it will be possible to find out that you are a certified person."
Su Xin glanced at Chen Yi.
According to the rules, she should be going back now.
But Chen Yi was really suspicious; she had a feeling that if she left like this, she would miss something...
After thinking for a moment, she said calmly, "When do you plan to establish your foundation? I see that you have already condensed two strands of true spiritual energy, so you must have met the conditions for establishing your foundation. Why are you delaying it?"
Chen Yi laughed and said, "Foundation Establishment is a major event. I value my life and wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Besides, for poor people like us without status or background, Foundation Establishment is a process of trial and error, so we naturally have to proceed step by step..."
Su Xin still had a hunch that Chen Yi was strange.
However, there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.
“Background…” Su Xin’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
"If you have no further questions, I will return home."
She turned around, about to leave.
Just then, the entire sky above Xiande Middle School shone with the brilliance of an array.
In an instant, a voice blared over the school's loudspeaker: "Everyone, go on high alert!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi said to Su Xin, "Oh dear, you might not be able to go back for the time being."
Su Xin frowned slightly, but said nothing more.
Actually, she thinks this is a good thing.
This gave her a reason to stay and continue observing Chen Yi...
Chen Yi looked at the teachers and students who had already gathered, and without paying any more attention to Su Xin, he ran off to join the group.
The assembled group was not large, as the total number of teachers and students remaining on campus was only a little over three hundred.
Among them, students are divided into three levels: senior students lead junior students, and junior students lead junior students.
At the very top are the various teachers.
The teachers' eyes were filled with determination, because their families were also at the school.
This was at Principal Ma's request. Firstly, the school could centrally protect the safety of teachers' families. Secondly, the presence of these families prevented these Foundation Establishment stage teachers from retreating.
"Wasn't the front line fortified? How come the beast tide rushed in so quickly?" someone asked, puzzled.
"The front-line defenses are mainly to block the monsters that advance on the ground, but monsters don't only run on the ground," a teacher explained.
"You mean we might encounter flying monsters first?"
"good!"
"What if a monster suddenly attacks from underground?" a high school student asked blankly.
"Underground? There are also arrays blocking it!"
"But don't let your guard down. The formation can indeed block the beast tide, even those in the sky and on the ground, but it is mainly aimed at the monsters that move on the ground."
Among the demonic beasts that roam the skies and the ground, some are bound to slip through the net... After all, countless demonic beasts participate in the beast tide, and some are bound to possess special abilities.
A teacher who was an expert in formations spoke up.
"Bah!"
Suddenly, some figures with outstretched wings appeared in the sky.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is... an Iron Feather Demon Eagle?"
Yes, he recognized the group of monsters.
Previously, the leader of the Iron Feather Demon Eagles was killed by the people of the Thief Heaven Sect, and the remaining Iron Feather Demon Eagles fled the mine territory.
Now that the beast tide has begun, they, as tribes with little say, have naturally been forced to become the vanguard.
"With the Iron Feather Demon Eagle's capabilities, how did it break through the defenses and reach Xiande City?" A sense of doubt arose in Chen Yi's mind.
Could it be that the pressure on the front lines was too great, allowing them to take advantage of the situation?
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Hundreds of Ironfeathered Demon Eagles ravaged the city below.
The iron feathers are more powerful than bullets, and can easily penetrate even reinforced concrete walls.
Some people, who had nowhere to go and could only hide at home, immediately cried out in terror, but the moment the iron feather pierced their bodies, their body temperature dropped rapidly.
"ah!!!"
"Puff puff puff!"
The sound abruptly stopped...
For cultivators in high positions, these mortals have no blood relation to them, so naturally they cannot protect them.
These ordinary people could only try to hide in relatively safe places like basements to survive this wave of "air raids".
Those who hid in the "immortal's" cave could watch the iron feathers melt away through the array barrier, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
"The barrier is a one-way barrier. Everyone, listen to my command and unleash offensive spells to kill the monsters outside the barrier!"
Inside the school, Ma Guangzhi's telepathic message reached everyone's ears.
It should be noted that although the school has set up formations, in order to conserve spiritual energy, the defensive formations set up are the most cost-effective ones.
If an attack formation were to be set up to counterattack, the defensive formation might not be able to hold out, so Ma Guangzhi did not set up any attack formation at all.
All methods of slaying demonic beasts can only be accomplished by cultivators within the barrier.
This is the significance of issuing battle merit tokens!
In the next instant, the teachers took the lead, unleashing various spells from the barrier to destroy the Iron Feather Demon Eagle.
Looking at the blood mist outside the barrier, the students felt their blood boil.
"kill!"
As long as the defensive barrier remains in place, they will have a safe space to deal damage.
Nowadays, you can basically earn any combat merit just by participating!
Chen Yi, of course, didn't hold back.
He had long hoped to accumulate more battle merits in exchange for metal or wood-based cultivation techniques!
"go!"
A flying sword, entirely crimson gold, burst out of the barrier.
In the blink of an eye, the flying sword disappeared into the flock of Ironfeather Demon Eagles, bursting forth with intense light...
