Nan Yue walked into the You Shu Fu as usual, her expression calm and composed. Along the way, she met many classmates and friends, who all chatted with her, but everyone's face lacked their usual cheerfulness, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Because today is the annual assessment, the results of the assessment will have a great impact on their future fate. Although Huā Lián Yōu Shù Fǔ is not a well-known sect, it still has some influence in this realm, which is inseparable from their strict assessment.
"Ayue!"
A familiar shout came from behind, and Nan Xue knew who it was without turning around. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and asked with some curiosity: "Hong, didn't you say you weren't taking the exam? Why are you here?"
Rainbow is Nan Yue's best friend, they have known each other since childhood and have a deep affection. Rainbow comes from a very remote small tribe, but this tribe has a natural talent for fantasy magic, and Rainbow naturally insists on practicing this type of magic. Due to her exceptional talent, when she first entered the mansion, she was noticed by a teacher and taken as a student.
Rainbows don't need to be examined closely, so Nan Yue was surprised by the appearance of a rainbow.
Rainbow-colored dress, smiling face like a flower: "I came to watch you take the exam, at such an important time, how can I be absent?"
Nan Yue's heart was moved, but she said calmly: "It's just a competition, no need to be nervous."
"Uh-huh, with Ah Yue's strength, it's definitely not a problem." Hong was full of confidence, but suddenly leaned in, with a mysterious expression, and whispered: "I heard that this time, there are big shots from the Man Sha department coming too."
"Miss Mansa of the adults?" Nanyue was taken aback, and then suddenly became agitated: "Ice Lan's Miss Mansa?"
Hong was quite satisfied with Nanyue's expression, and chuckled: "Apart from Master Binglan's Mantra Division, where is another Mantra Division? How about it, are you moved?"
Apart from worshiping under a certain teacher, entering the military is also a good way. In the military, you can learn many practical demon arts, and if you accumulate enough merit, you can also learn more advanced demon arts. Moreover, with the fierce battles going on at the front lines now, this is a great opportunity to accumulate merit.
Nan Yue smiled slightly and didn't say a word. If it were before she met her senior, she would have been deeply moved, but now, she didn't have any extra thoughts.
It's a great honor to be able to follow in the footsteps of one's predecessors!
She wasn't quite clear about the identity of this senior, but one thing was certain: that the senior and Tōshi Ten'nansha had a deep connection. These days, she could be said to have admired the senior with all her heart, and she could clearly feel her own strength making rapid progress.
An unassuming little magic trick actually contains such profound truth.
Nan Yue's calmness was beyond Hong's expectation. She let out a sound of surprise and re-examined her good friend carefully. Nan Yue hadn't changed much from before, still wearing simple clothes, but somehow seemed to have something more about her. But what exactly was it? Hong couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Ayue, have you been alright lately?" Hong asked tentatively.
"It's nothing." Nanyue shook her head, seeing Hong's concerned face, she felt a warmth in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, not having told Hong about the senior's matter yet. Without an adult's permission, she didn't dare to reveal it casually.
However, Mansa Department...
Before, Mansa was one of her goals.
The atmosphere in the Youshu Fu was heavy, yet with a hint of excitement. The news that the adults from the Mansa Department had come to observe the assessment had excited all the students participating in the assessment. The Mansa Department was powerful, and Binglan was unfathomable, plus Binglan was a stunning beauty, the dream lover of countless male students.
For female demons, being able to enter Mansa Department is a good path.
Then, Nan Yue indeed saw the adult from Man Sa's department. This adult had a straight figure, unparalleled beauty, and an elegant demeanor. His golden eyelashes were especially captivating. This adult should be from the Jin tribe. Standing on the platform, a sharp aura filled the entire scene.
Nan Yue was called formidable, and just this momentum alone surpassed the vast majority of teachers within the manor. The teachers within the manor might have been more profound in their mastery of demonic arts, but compared to these war demons who had returned from the front lines, they were still somewhat inferior in terms of their murderous aura.
Many students were excited to be able to enter the Man Sha Department, a renowned army in all major demon realms, which was extremely difficult to get into. No encouragement was needed, and the morale of the demons was high.
The exam is about to begin in an atmosphere of quiet expectation and excitement.
This time's assessment was much more intense than before, but Nan Yue didn't show any excitement. The Huilian Youshu Fu wasn't a well-known sect, and the people who came were just the usual familiar faces, without anyone new that caught her eye.
And those strange and mysterious spells that used to excite her now hardly stirred a ripple in her heart.
She felt very strange.
She felt so strange for the first time, those gorgeous and dazzling magic tricks, at this moment in her eyes, had a few more superficial feelings. Her mind would always involuntarily emerge with combinations of small magic tricks to replace these dazzling magic tricks.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, in the past whenever she saw these witchcrafts, she would be extremely excited, and even constantly pondered them in her heart.
She secretly warned herself that she must not be proud, and that just because she had learned something, she shouldn't start looking down on others. Suddenly, she remembered the day when her senior taught her the little demon technique, every word and sentence of which she still remembered clearly.
Suddenly, Hong poked her and said: "A Yue, it's your turn."
"Oh." She responded with a sound, came back to her senses, looked around the examination room, calmed herself down, and flew into the room.
Her opponent was Shi Zheng, an old rival. Shi Zheng's experience was quite similar to hers, he also worked extremely hard, but similarly did not catch the teacher's eye. However, his age was older than Nan Yue's, and his situation was even more dire.
Shi Zheng saw Nan Yue and was secretly delighted. He was proficient in demonic arts, which could restrain Nan Yue to a certain extent.
"Let's start!"
The teacher in charge of arbitration shouted loudly, and Shi Zheng's body immediately radiated a brilliant light, this was his most skilled magical technique, "Stone Flow Control"!
The Shi family is a clan of demons who take stones as their spirits and are naturally skilled in stone-based demonic magic.
"This move 'Gyokuseiryū', is Seki's most skilled demonic art, the whole body shining with a brilliant light, can provide excellent protection and prevent being taken advantage of by the enemy during casting."
A flash of light across his face, Shi Zheng's eyes twitched, so fast!
Nan Yue's witchcraft has actually been completed!
However, he didn't panic. The higher the level of the demon art, the more time it takes to cast. Nan Yue's spell was completed so quickly, it must be a low-level demon art, and it would definitely not be able to withstand "Gyokusei Ryu".
Shi Zheng was full of confidence, and the moves he knew were extremely few, but it was precisely because of this that the move "Yu Shi Liu" in his hands exerted a power far beyond ordinary low-level demon arts, already reaching the edge of mid-level demon arts.
Just as he was pondering, Nanyue's magic had already struck his body with a burst of light.
His whole body relaxed.
This is... Minor Demon Art: Fog Transformation!
The originally solidified stone energy suddenly became light and almost lost control. Shi Zheng was shocked, how could the little demon's technique be used like this?
On the observation deck, several soft hums sounded, and a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of that person from the Mantha department.
Shi Zheng was shocked but not panicked, the little demon's trick was just a little demon's trick, and its power was ultimately very limited. Wanting to rely on this little demon's trick would make him lose control of his stone energy, that was an illusion.
He hastily adjusted his mind, strengthened his control, and heard the sound of "pa pa pa". Three consecutive spells were cast at a speed that made people's eyes widen. Two hit him, one hit the ground under his feet.
Minor Magic: Compression!
Minor Demon Art: Transmute Gold!
The divine consciousness of the stone was gathering the stone energy, to prevent it from dispersing. Unexpectedly, a sudden surge of pressure pressed down, and the two forces converged together. The stone energy suddenly contracted violently, transforming into rock!
In the blink of an eye, Shi Zheng's body had an additional layer of thin stone armor.
But as soon as the stone shell was formed, it transformed into a layer of metallic luster, like a thin layer of metal armor, tightly wrapping the stone inside.
Shi Zheng only felt a suffocating sensation, his whole body was isolated, he gritted his teeth, just about to absorb the stone energy from under his feet, when suddenly a strong force came from beneath him, his body instantly lost its balance and he tumbled sideways.
Others only saw a sudden surge of water bursting out from under Shi Zheng's feet, sending him flying to the side. It was their extremely familiar little demon art - "Summoning Spring"!
Soaring stone was struck by a beam of light in mid-air, and his body froze in the air with an eerie pose.
Minor Demon Art: Spider Bind!
Nan Yue's ten fingers were like ten small lanterns, and their light shone one by one.
The raised ten fingers store up energy waiting to be released, Little Demon Art: Wind Spear!
Shi Zheng's head buzzed, he knew he had lost. His body was immobilized, completely sealed off by the metal armor, unable to absorb even a hint of stone energy, and could only become a living target. The power of the wind spears wasn't particularly great, but ten consecutive wind spears would still be more than enough to pierce through him.
"I lost!"
His mind was a complete blank, and he wasn't even sure how he had managed to utter those words. The audience erupted into chaos, having expected a fierce battle between the two, only to have it end in such an eerie way.
Clap clap clap. The big man on the stage, from the Mantha department, applauded and stood up, with a face full of praise: "Not bad! Little girl, are you willing to come to the Mantha department?"
Brush, countless pairs of eyes gathered on Nan Yue's body in the field at the same time, full of envy and jealousy.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Nanyue bowed respectfully, stood up and raised her head, her eyes clear and without a hint of impurity: "Nanyue plans to stay in the mansion for some more time, please forgive me, sir."
The people in the field suddenly lost their voices and exclaimed in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at Nan Yue, thinking she had misheard.
The grown-up of Mansa department was also somewhat unexpected, but she didn't get angry, and said lightly: "Then forget it." After that, she sat down again.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the displeasure of this person. Nan Yue, who was in the arena, seemed to be unaffected and flew down from the stage calmly under the strange gazes of the crowd.
The examination did not stop due to this little episode, until the end, a total of three students were selected to enter the Mantra Department. The adult did not stay and took the three people directly flying away from Huilian Witchcraft Hall.
Nan Yue, who was making a big stir in the entire prefecture, now faced Hong with an extremely poor complexion and felt a severe headache.
