Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

This made Longqing exclaim involuntarily, "I feel great right now!"

In the blink of an eye, Xie Chengyun found himself in the academy, having passed the exam on the second floor, surrounded by his classmates, with the academy instructors bowing respectfully.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the second floor of the academy, where a group of teachers and disciples, whose faces he could not see clearly, called him junior brother, as if everything was getting better and better.

"Ning Que, Ning Que! The boss is watching you!"

Ning Que suddenly woke up. There was no Sang Sang, no Master, no Academy. Everything before seemed like a dream he had just had during a meeting.

Ning Que casually replied to his boss, then stared blankly at the sky, muttering softly, "I have a knife to protect Sang Sang so she can sleep well..."

Yu Lian walked behind Hinata Hoshino and said, "Isn't this kind of test a bit too much?"

"Really? I don't think so."

As Ning Que experienced everything from the past day after day, he suddenly felt that this was the reality. Ning Que passed by a general store, where a large black umbrella was hanging at the door.

Ning Que's memories were instantly unlocked, and he was the first to successfully awaken.

After his initial excitement, Longqing realized that he was nothing at all and had no right to unify the world.

In the end, only Xie Chengyun was immersed in his own world, and his career, which started strong but ended poorly, perfectly describes Xie Chengyun.

Upon his first appearance, he was showered with praise, but he failed the assessment on the second floor of the academy and ended up returning to Southern Jin in disgrace.

The fourth challenge: facing the Master directly.

As the fog dissipated, a wooden door appeared before us, with the words "A gentleman does not..." written on it.

Ning Que and Long Qing pondered what to write here. Suddenly, they remembered a stone by the roadside that seemed to have something written on it.

However, neither of them had any recollection of the last word. They returned to the vicinity of the stone and carefully examined the last word.

Long Qing, with his profound cultivation, could easily memorize a single word, but Ning Que had a problem. At most, he had been cultivating for no more than a year, which put him at a huge disadvantage.

Ning Que successfully memorized the character "永" by breaking down its strokes using the Eight Principles of Yong, thus proving that a gentleman is not a vessel.

Longqing entered the door first. Facing him was the Master, whose back was to Longqing and who was in darkness.

"If fate decrees your death, what will you do?"

"Accept the will of Heaven."

Long Qing had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. This was an image left behind by the Master, and control was in the hands of Hyuga Hoshino. As for the Master, he had already sent his avatar away, and he felt that now was not the time to meet with Ning Que and Sang Sang.

"What if Heaven wanted you to die right now?"

"Accept the will of Heaven."

"Fine, then go die. Right now, what lies before you is the entire heaven of the Tang Kingdom."

"I……"

Long Qing was speechless. He thought it was just a simple question, but he didn't expect it to be such a bombshell right from the start.

As Longqing hesitated, he found himself unable to move.

Ning Que, who came from behind, opened the door to find Master and Long Qing.

"Ning Que, answer me, if Heaven wants you to die, what should you do?"

"If Heaven wants to destroy me, I will kill Heaven."

"A very good answer."

What should you do if you encounter a dilemma?

"Choose the lesser of two evils."

"very good."

Hinata Hoshino controlled the phantom of the Master with a wave of his hand, and Long Qing found that he could move, but he was on the same starting line as Ning Que.

"I will increase gravity on the path in front of you. The first one to reach me and take the water ladle from the tree behind me will be my last disciple."

Long Qing barely managed to use his mental power to rush forward, only to find that his movements were like a tortoise crawling, while Ning Que staggered forward slowly but managed to overtake him.

It's very simple. Hyuga Hoshino has set up a formation here. The harder you run, the slower you get, and the slower you walk, the faster you get. This is the final test.

As expected, Ning Que ultimately won the water ladle and became the Master's thirteenth disciple.

"My last disciple, the thirteenth master of the academy, Ning Que, a student of the academy."

Cao Zhifeng and the other Yan people were filled with regret and confusion. In their eyes, Long Qing, as the Son of Light and a young Dongxuan expert, was superior to Ning Que, an unknown nobody, in every way.

Unexpectedly, Ning Que won and became the Thirteenth Master; this was completely unexpected.

Li Zhongyi had a satisfied look on his face. The thirteenth teacher of the academy was his secret guard, and he was an honor to be a member of their Tang Kingdom.

Li Yu's expression was unusual; he hadn't expected that a nobody from the border would rise to such heights.

Li Zhongyi looked at Li Yu and said, "Yu'er, take care of yourself."

"Yes, my daughter knows."

Li Zhongyi was somewhat helpless. This was hardly the meaning of understanding. Fortunately, he had recovered and still had plenty of time to properly teach Li Yu and Li Huiyuan.

Hinata Hoshino communicated remotely with the Master, saying, "The Academy's assessment has ended, and as you wished, Ning Que has become your last disciple."

Yan Se had a look of being late; the Master had already announced the disciples, so he was undoubtedly late.

"No, Master, Ning Que is the successor I have long admired. Can we make a deal? There are so many talented people in the Haotian World. Master, you don't need another disciple, but I do need a successor."

Hinata Hoshino's voice transmission reached Yan Se's ears, "Stop wailing. The Master is no longer in the academy. Come to the back mountain and let Ning Que and the others from the academy discuss this with you."

Chapter 310 Ning Que, Caught Between Two Sides, Acha: Call Me Mom

While everyone else was concerned about who would become the Master's disciple, Li Zhongyi was still concerned about Queen Xia Tian.

Ah, a love that flows in both directions.

Xia Tian felt a little awkward; how should she respond to that?

Moreover, when Xia Tian looked at her master, who was more beautiful than herself, she felt that the world was a bit absurd.

In the past, one could say that a teacher is like a father, but now one can only say that a teacher is like a mother, and it seems that it's hard to say who the mother is.

"Alright, your master has taken good care of your health. Go back now."

Summer had passed, and Hinata Hoshino nudged Yu Lian with her elbow, "What are your thoughts?"

“If a cultivator cannot see through the difference between men and women, then what is the point of their cultivation? Before cultivating the cicada for twenty-three years, I had already made preparations.”

"You really don't care?"

"not give a damn about."

Hinata Hoshino used the "Monkey Steals Peaches" move followed by the "Immortal Picks Grapes" move, and Yu Lian's face instantly turned red. Hinata Hoshino then made a quick getaway.

"asshole!"

Yu Lian felt that no one, whether male or female, could withstand these two moves without changing their expression.

Ning Que slept for a day and a night, and Yan Se also waited for a day and a night. After all, it was Ning Que's turn to make the choice, and no one in the academy could overstep their bounds.

Hinata Hoshino brought back Acha. Acha looked at Ning Que and suddenly lashed him with her whip. Ning Que felt a sharp pain and was about to curse.

Acha dipped her fingertips in tea and wiped two tear tracks under her eyes, pretending to be crying. "Child, so many years, so many years, your mother has finally found you. Child, call me mother."

Ning Que looked at Acha with surprise, pointing his index finger at himself, "Me! An orphan, both parents dead, and you say you're my mother?"

"My child, do you know how long I've waited for this day!"

Ning Que awkwardly wrapped himself in the blanket, looking at Acha with a forced smile, "You, don't try to scam me! This is the academy."

"My son, you've grown up and become so handsome! You're such a source of pride for me!"

Ah Cha's continued talking to herself made Ning Que very embarrassed. When he saw Hinata Hoshino next to him, he hurriedly cried for help, "Fellow villager, we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

“You said it yourself, this is an academy, what are you afraid of?”

Ning nodded, "That's right, what am I afraid of?"

Then Acha took out a chicken feather, waved her hand, and Ning Que was suspended in mid-air. The chicken feather frantically tickled the soles of Ning Que's feet. "Are you afraid of chicken feathers now?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing the sound, Yan Se realized that Ning Que had woken up and barged into Ning Que's room. She immediately saw chicken feathers tickling Ning Que's soles and, recalling the famous scene of Ning Que dancing in women's clothing, Yan Se smiled awkwardly and closed the door.

"Ning Que, to be honest, I am Yan Se. I currently work for the Southern Gate of Haotian Dao and the Tang Kingdom. I am a contemporary Divine Talisman Master. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye, hurry, hurry, make the chicken feathers stop."

"Master Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Ning Que is willing to become my disciple. Could you please ask this man to stop?"

"Cha Cha, stop."

"Hmph, he's lucky. I, Hades, am not such a petty person."

"I remember Zhao Li saying that the Milky Way is the bad water in your belly."

"I'm going back and tearing him apart!"

Hinata Hoshino hugged Acha, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, why are you so agitated? Once it's over, you can do whatever you want."

Ning Que laughed so hard he was delirious, but he remembered how Hyuga Hoshino called Acha. He pointed at Acha with a trembling finger.

You're saying she's Hades?

"Yes, it's the real deal. Old Que, years ago Wei Guangming saw the son of the Underworld King born in Chang'an in Xiling. Without saying a word, he asked Xiahou to find the son of the Underworld King and kill him. As a result, the entire Lin General's mansion was destroyed."

Then Wei Guangming discovered that the son of Hades was still in the human world, and the result of another divination was that he was on the border. So Xiahou massacred the small villages on the border again.

Ning Que, who do you think is the son of the King of the Underworld?

Ning Que remained silent. "Is it because of this? He's going to kill so many people over a vague and unfounded prophecy?"

"Yes. The main problem is that the Eternal Night, an event that only happens once every thousand years, is so torturous that everyone with the ability wants to nip it in the bud."

But how to suppress it became another problem. So Wei Guangming, who claimed to be the closest to the throne of Haotian Guangming, suddenly thought of the legend of the son of the King of the Underworld.

Legend has it that before the eternal night descends, a son of Hades will be born to guide Hades in bringing forth the eternal night.

Ning Que ran his fingers through his hair, rubbing his loose bun. "So this is what made me homeless."

Yan Se was somewhat surprised, "You are General Lin's son?"
