Xu Kuo nodded slightly at these words. Lu Fan's spirit was indeed commendable, but it was somewhat regrettable to injure himself to this extent just to enter the assessment.
They were all well aware that even if Lu Fan managed to enter the assessment and become one of the participants in the Peak Battle, he would still be unable to secure the top spot.
Lin Wuya was already a half-step Great Sage, not even needing to be overly wary of Elder Wuming. Such a powerful opponent made Lu Fan's current realm somewhat problematic.
Three days later, inside the Yellow-grade Blessed Land, Lu Fan slowly awoke, feeling groggy and unsure how long he had slept.
"You're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, we would have thought something had happened to you!" Hu Yu reminded him.
"Have I slept for a long time?"
Lu Fan looked around. "Right, did I pass the assessment?"
"Don't worry, you passed the assessment long ago!"
Hu Xian'er walked over, holding a bowl of soup. "This is freshly brewed spirit chicken soup. Drink it, and you should feel much better with your injuries."
"Thank you!"
Lu Fan awkwardly accepted the chicken soup, feeling a bit unaccustomed to Hu Xian'er's concern.
"My sister has never cared about anyone like this before. Could she have feelings for you?"
After Hu Xian'er left, Hu Yu chuckled and said, "If that's the case, you should make a move. I know my sister; she's very shy!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Fan shot him a look, his eyes filled with a strange expression. Hu Yu's words made him feel that something was off.
"I'm not talking nonsense; I'm telling the truth!" Hu Yu said earnestly. "If you don't believe me, then there's no point in me saying anything. But if you let my sister down, you'll never find anyone better than her!" Sudan Novel Network
Lu Fan stood there, feeling awkward. Hu Yu's sudden words made him even more flustered.
At the same time, the young master of the Tao family walked over. "How are you feeling? Much better?"
"Much better, indeed!"
Lu Fan nodded. "I didn't expect the assessment to be so difficult. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be in this state!"
"Think about it, you haven't even reached the Saint King realm, yet you dared to challenge a Great Sage. That's not something a normal person would do!" The young master of the Tao family laughed. "I was genuinely scared for you at the time, thinking something had really happened."
"Don't worry, I'm not that bad!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Now that I've passed the assessment, it means I can participate in the Peak Battle. This is an opportunity not to be missed!"
"You're not planning to win the Peak Battle, are you?" Xu Kuo walked over. "If that's the case, I'll be very impressed. That's Senior Brother Lin Wuya, a half-step Great Sage!"
"My strength is indeed inferior to his, but I can at least fight him!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Moreover, after being beaten by Elder Wuming within the barrier, I suddenly feel that my bottleneck has been broken. It won't be long before I reach the Saint King realm."
At these words, the young master of the Tao family was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Lu Fan's bottleneck to be loosening. This was a good thing for Lu Fan.
If he could break through to the Saint King realm, then everything would not be a fantasy and might even become a reality.
After all, Lu Fan was already so powerful before reaching the Saint King realm. If he reached that level, he would likely be terrifying.
After staying in the Blessed Land for a while, Lu Fan left and went directly to an open area in the Central Continent Academy. He slowly sat down cross-legged. Lu Fan had a feeling that his breakthrough was imminent. If that were the case, the lightning tribulation would surely be extremely powerful, so he dared not be negligent.
At the same time, the entire sky above the Central Continent was covered in dark clouds, as if something unusual was happening.
In the depths of the Central Continent Academy, Elder Wuming was eating peanuts, while another elder beside him was feeding a celestial crane.
"I say, Ban Dao, your celestial crane looks quite plump. When are you going to slaughter it for a meal?"
Elder Ban Dao glanced at Wuming before shaking his head. "You only think about eating all day. The Dean has entrusted the entire academy to you with great responsibility. Why are you so leisurely coming to see me?"
"Have you forgotten? The Peak Battle is about to begin, and the inheritance power of the Central Continent Academy will also be opened!" Elder Wuming stated directly. "With my own strength alone, how can I open the inheritance!"
"Has a full sixty years passed so quickly?"
Ban Dao was slightly taken aback, feeling a sense of time's passage. Since they arrived at the Central Continent Academy, time had flown by like water.
"The Dean is not here, and I've had to put in a lot of effort!"
Elder Wuming shook his head. "When the Dean returns, I'm going to hand over this task and go enjoy myself. I don't want to manage the academy; it's too tiring for one person!"
"All the resources of the Central Continent Academy are open to you. You don't need to do anything!" Elder Ban Dao said directly. "But speaking of which, the Peak Battle is starting? Did someone pass your assessment?"
"Naturally, it's that peerless genius from a hundred years ago, Lin Wuya! He's already a half-step Great Sage and will likely become a true Great Sage soon. If that's the case, our Central Continent Academy will have a peerless prodigy!"
With a faint smile, Elder Wuming stated, "Another one has passed the assessment. They are also extremely talented, but their realm is not high. If given time, they will surely bring glory to the academy!"
With these words, Elder Ban Dao nodded slightly. "If that's the case, then it would be for the best. After all, once the Peak Battle is completed, we will also be participating in the Beast Race Grand Gathering. The competition among the younger generation will be unavoidable then!"
"That's what I'm saying!"
Elder Wuming nodded slightly and looked up at the sky, feeling something was amiss. "What's wrong with the sky today? Could someone be undergoing tribulation?"
Elder Ban Dao also frowned slightly, looking towards the horizon. He indeed noticed something unusual. "This is no ordinary lightning tribulation. How can there be such a powerful aura? Could it be that Lin Wuya, that kid, is about to break through to the Great Sage realm, thus attracting a tribulation?"
At the same time, all the disciples of the Central Continent Academy looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of apprehension. They could clearly feel that the dark clouds in the sky carried a majestic heavenly power. They wondered who was undergoing tribulation to cause such a powerful fluctuation.
