Chapter 329 - 329 329 Promotion to the Inner Court

Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Promotion to the Inner Court Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Promotion to the Inner Court On the Eighth Tier Heavenly Ladder, Jing Yan stayed for nearly half a cup of tea’s time.

The energy of the Heavenly Ladder was incomparably mysterious, and in terms of quantity, it was not very strong for Jing Yan.

However, the profundity it contained was of great help to him.

For, in this short time on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, Jing Yan had felt a significant improvement in his Cultivation.

This progress was something he could clearly perceive.

With Jing Yan’s current Cultivation, even a slight increase in strength would be hard to notice.

To be able to distinctly feel an improvement in power was truly terrifying.

Immediately after, Jing Yan leaped again, ascending to the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder, which was also the last tier of the entire ladder.

If he could stand firm on the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder, Jing Yan would officially pass the promotion assessment and become an Inner Court Student from an Outer Court Student.

Many High-level Students below watched Jing Yan with unwavering eyes.

“He’s gone up!

He’s gone up!”

“He’s a monster, actually ascending the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder!”

“Incredible, in our Dao Yi Academy Outer Court, on average only four or five people can reach the top of the Heavenly Ladder each year, right?

I didn’t come in vain today, to actually witness this with my own eyes!”

“Who exactly is this young Martial Artist?”

“Right, could he be Jing Yan?

Have you heard?

Our Dao Yi Academy has a newcomer called Jing Yan who won the Golden Order through the Heaven Array!”

“That’s right, it must be him, who else could ascend the ladder so effortlessly?

If one could win the Golden Order, then passing the Heavenly Ladder assessment seems normal.”

“…”

Jing Yan had shown such strength that although these students below did not recognize him, they had guessed his identity.

Of course, up until now, they did not know that Jing Yan had slain the Inner Court Student and Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, Qian Zhen.

Jing Yan came directly to the Heavenly Ladder from outside the Green Sun Garden, so the news had not completely spread.

It wouldn’t take long for all the students of the Dao Yi Academy to know about Jing Yan killing the Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, Qian Zhen.

That would be when the name Jing Yan would resonate throughout the Dao Yi Academy.

“Crack!”

Jing Yan’s feet landed on the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder, and the entire ladder suddenly emitted a light sound.

Numerous black lines connected within the space, enveloping Jing Yan, seemingly trying to expel this intruder.

The black ripple released a terrible energy aura, crushing down with lightning speed, like a heavy mountain fiercely descending from the sky.

“Open!” Jing Yan’s breath condensed, and he shouted loudly, the Primordial Energy within the Fog Vortex surged out frantically, like boiling water, rippling out in all directions from his body.

“Buzz buzz buzz!” The black ripples were forcefully blocked outside.

However, the black ripple energy seemed very unwilling, emitting continuous sounds, continuing to crash into Jing Yan’s body.

But Jing Yan stood as firm as Mount Tai, his feet firmly on the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder.

Moments later, all the black ripples disappeared, and the entire Nine-level Heavenly Ladder became quiet.

The many students standing below could clearly see Jing Yan’s figure on the Ninth Tier Heavenly Ladder.

They held their breath, their eyes focused.

Xu Chen took a light breath, his eyes filled with shock.

Just now he still wanted to teach Jing Yan a lesson, but now he had completely abandoned that thought.

Jing Yan’s strength was definitely above his.

He was somewhat relieved that he hadn’t made a move against Jing Yan earlier, or the consequences might have been difficult to predict.

Tong Qiushui’s beautiful eyes shimmered with a Light Halo, recalling how she had wanted to persuade Jing Yan just moments ago, but now she found it rather laughable.

Just now, Jing Yan had told her that ascending the Heavenly Ladder might not be that difficult, and she had thought Jing Yan was overestimating himself.

Now, it seemed that what he said was entirely true!

Ascending the Heavenly Ladder, indeed, was not difficult at all!

The whole process had not even taken half a cup of tea’s time, which was ridiculously fast.

Ascending the Heavenly Ladder for them was as difficult as reaching the heavens, but for someone like Jing Yan, it seemed to be no challenge at all.

Looking at how effortlessly Jing Yan did it, it wasn’t just the Nine-level Heavenly Ladder that seemed easy, but even a Ten-level Heavenly Ladder or even more tiers would probably not be a big deal for him.

“Whoosh!”

Once the energy of the Heavenly Ladder dissipated, Jing Yan lightly leaped and descended from above the ladder.

“Are you Brother Jing Yan?”

Upon landing, over a dozen High-level Students quickly gathered around him.

“I am Jing Yan!” Jing Yan scanned the surroundings and nodded as he spoke.

“It really is Brother Jing Yan!

Brother Jing Yan, you are amazing!”

“Yes, to ascend to the top smoothly on your first try, you truly are the genius Martial Artist who won the Golden Order!”

“Brother Jing Yan, if you have time, could you share your experiences in cultivating Martial Arts with me?”

The High-level Students around him chattered incessantly.

It seemed that they had all forgotten that before Jing Yan ascended the Heavenly Ladder, they were all discussing it with sarcastic and mocking tones.

Now, seeing Jing Yan forcefully reach the top, they shamelessly approached to make connections.

Facing the clamor, Jing Yan could only helplessly shake his head.

“Jing Yan!”

At that moment, the Hall Master of the Affairs Hall, Lin Yan, appeared.

“Hall Master!” Jing Yan bowed.

The other High-level Students, including Xu Chen and Tong Qiushui, also bowed in greeting to Lin Yan.

“Jing Yan, you have passed the Heavenly Ladder assessment and from this moment on, you are officially promoted to be an Inner Court Student of Dao Yi Academy.

Give me your Identity Token to change it for an Inner Court Student Identity Token,” Lin Yan said, smiling at Jing Yan while ignoring the greetings from others.

“Yes!” Jing Yan took out his Identity Token and handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan casually took it, his mind stirringly moved slightly, and his expression consequently changed.

“Two hundred and seventy thousand Points?” Lin Yan also did not expect that Jing Yan’s Identity Token would have so many Points.

Lin Yan knew he awarded Jing Yan ten thousand Academy Points when he first joined the Dao Yi Academy, but now Jing Yan had over two hundred thousand Academy Points.

How could that be?

As far as he knew, although Jing Yan had been part of the Dao Yi Academy for over a month, he had almost not spent the time within the Dao Yi Academy itself.

That is to say, Jing Yan had hardly any time to earn Academy Points.

So where did these more than two hundred thousand Points come from?

Lin Yan let out a soft breath, then took out a green Jade Talisman Token, transferred the two hundred and seventy thousand Points over, and handed the new Token to Jing Yan.

No matter how Jing Yan got his points, it had nothing to do with him.

He was just surprised Jing Yan had so many Points, hence the involuntary shock.

Everyone around envied Jing Yan’s green Identity Token.

This Token was what they all dearly wished for.
