The clear and prolonged ringing of bells echoed across the sky, and the lively atmosphere in the final exam venue also reached its peak at this moment.
In the due south direction of the venue, three figures exuding powerful auras sat upright.
The first on the left was none other than Teacher Vara, wearing a blood-red battle armor and possessing an extraordinary presence.
A faint bloody light flowed on the battle armor, as if it contained some ancient and powerful force, exuding endless majesty and dominance, making people awe-struck.
On the far right was a middle-aged man with a stern and tense face.
What was most eye-catching were his eyes, which were entirely composed of lightning, constantly flickering and jumping in their sockets, releasing terrifying electric light and thunderous sounds, making people dare not look directly.
An indescribable majesty and sternness permeated this middle-aged man, making people involuntarily feel awe and fear.
"Haha, this academy's final exam is quite lively this time."
In the main seat in the center, a thin old man wearing a light blue robe, with a kind and benevolent face, looked at the heated atmosphere in the venue below with a smile and couldn't help but laugh.
"Previous final exams were relatively clear-cut. But this one today is somewhat unpredictable."
Teacher Vara on the left said with a smile.
"What's unpredictable? That Bo Ming has won first place in the lower grades multiple times. With the assistance of the resource rewards he received, he is already Universe Grade level nine, and he also has a good level of Law of Wood comprehension."
"Not to mention the lower grades, even in the upper grades, he is probably quite advanced."
"The Gǔ Fēi you are optimistic about, although also good, was after all just born for a year, and his cultivation time is too short. No matter how strong his talent is, compared to Bo Ming, there is probably still a significant gap."
The middle-aged man on the right, whose eyes were entirely composed of lightning, said coldly.
"Hehe, you'll know if you keep watching. Your famous Lei Yan, I'm afraid you'll be mistaken today."
Teacher Vara smiled indifferently.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to take a good look at what is so extraordinary about the student you are so confident in."
"Alright, alright, just watch quietly. After so many years, you two are still so fond of arguing, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the students?"
The thin old man in the center was clearly already accustomed to the two's arguments. His seemingly somewhat cloudy gaze looked towards the lower grade seats, his sight lingering on the student with two dark green dragon horns on his head.
"I think this little guy is somewhat unusual. Let's wait and see how he performs."
"Let's not talk about this for now. The bell has rung, let's announce the start of the final exam."
"Yes, Dean."
The stern middle-aged man nodded upon hearing this, stood up, and his thunderous gaze swept across the entire venue. His deep and powerful voice echoed like thunder in every student's ear.
"Time is up, the final exam officially begins. Among students of the same grade, compete and spar, but remember not to kill!"
"You all already know the rules. According to the drawing of lots, two will go on stage at a time, and the loser is eliminated."
"Yes!"
In the venue, the dense crowd all stood up and responded respectfully.
The stern middle-aged man waved his hand indifferently, "Since that's the case... then let's begin."
"Dong"
After he waved his hand, another loud bell sound rang out, instantly spreading throughout the entire academy.
"Swish swish"
A group of students went on stage in pairs according to the drawing order and began to compete.
The Teachers who were originally sitting behind the three also came to the side of the arena one after another, acting as referees, and at the same time, they would step in to save students when they were in danger.
The competition continued, and Gǔ Fēi also went on stage several times, but his opponents were too weak, and the battles ended quickly.
Finally, it was Gǔ Fēi's turn to fight Bo Ming.
The two went on stage at the same time and stood facing each other.
"I will let you know that you are not qualified to be favored by Teacher Vara."
Bo Ming stared fiercely at Gǔ Fēi and said slowly.
"Oh, so that's the reason. In that case, I can only defeat you to prove my qualification."
A smile appeared on Gǔ Fēi's face, and he pursed his lips.
"No matter how eloquent you are, if you can't do it, you still can't. You're still too green to defeat me!"
Bo Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he took a step forward. The vast original force surged out from his body without reservation at this moment. He had already made up his mind to use his full strength and defeat Gǔ Fēi with lightning speed.
He wanted to prove to Teacher Vara that only he was qualified to be valued, and Gǔ Fēi was just a good-for-nothing who had been misjudged.
Sensing Bo Ming's sharp pressure, Gǔ Fēi also took a deep breath, and a hint of solemnity emerged in his eyes.
Bo Ming was already Universe Grade level nine, while he, although assisted by Teacher Vara, was only Universe Grade level five, having been born for only a year, a difference of four minor realms from Bo Ming.
Moreover, Bo Ming had won first place in the lower grades multiple times, cultivated profound secret techniques, and his Law of Wood comprehension was not to be underestimated.
It seemed he had to show his true abilities.
As soon as the fight began, Bo Ming's face was covered with a layer of indifference. He indeed had no intention of warming up at all. With a low roar, his whole body became murderous, and a grass-green airflow constantly surged around his body. Holding a golden broadsword, a shocking sharp fluctuation emanated from it.
Bo Ming suddenly took a step forward, and an afterimage appeared in place.
His body, however, turned into a streak of light, and in an instant, he unleashed his strongest saber technique! The golden broadsword cut through space, carrying a shocking chill, and slashed down towards Gǔ Fēi as fast as lightning.
In an instant, a saber light that swept across all directions and annihilated everything came head-on.
Gǔ Fēi's eyes narrowed. Under this saber strike, his aura was completely locked, and the surrounding space was frozen.
Before the saber light even landed, the sharpness had already carved deep marks on the bluestone arena.
But just at the moment the saber light was about to touch Gǔ Fēi, Gǔ Fēi flipped his palm, and a black long saber appeared in his hand. It struck later but arrived first, colliding fiercely with the golden broadsword.
Immediately, sparks flew, the sound of metal clashing echoed around the arena, and a violent gust of wind erupted from the point of contact. Bo Ming's body shook, and he was forced back several steps by the enormous force.
However, Bo Ming's combat experience was clearly richer. The moment he retreated, the golden saber light erupted again, turning into dozens of light and shadow figures, fiercely slashing towards Gǔ Fēi.
"Swish"
Gǔ Fēi's figure on the arena suddenly disappeared.
He moved his body, dodged the saber light, and appeared on the other side of the arena. His gaze fixed on Bo Ming on the arena, and a surging fighting spirit gradually welled up in his eyes.
"You have some skill. Since we're fighting, let's fight to our heart's content!"
"Buzz"
In an instant, two Gǔ Fēis appeared in the center of the arena. These two figures were rushing towards Bo Ming at an incredibly terrifying speed.
"What?"
Bo Ming, holding the golden broadsword, was greatly surprised. The most feared thing in battle is being unable to determine the target.
"One of these two Gǔ Fēis must be fake. But in my original force perception, they are both real. How is that possible?"
Creating illusions is very simple.
In fact, for Universe Grade like Bo Ming, with their astonishing movement speed, in the eyes of ordinary people, due to visual persistence, a string of afterimages will be generated, as if they are all body illusions.
But in reality, no matter how fast they move, they are still one person!
In the original force perception of experts of the same level, there is nowhere to hide at all.
"What? Space Doppelganger!"
The Teachers beside the arena, who had been watching the students' battles on the arena very casually and indifferently before, all exclaimed in surprise at this moment.
"Space Origin Law!"
"It's the Law of Space!"
"And the comprehension is quite high, not much worse than his comprehension of the Wood Origin Law. It can even cause space to distort and produce a doppelganger effect."
"This kid, if I remember correctly, wasn't he just born a year ago!"
"How many years has it been since our academy produced such a peerless genius?"
Comprehending the Law of Wood and the Law of Space at the same time, and with quite deep comprehension, and only being a little guy who was just born a year ago, this is simply defying the heavens.
