“Miss Xiaoxiao!”
As Lou Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, she heard a warm voice call out to her.
“This voice…”
Lou Xiaoxiao’s body stiffened. When she turned around, she saw a handsome, warm face.
And the owner of that face gently looked at her with a smiling gaze.
“An… An Shaoning.”

At the same time, in the Fengyang Prefectural’s mansion.
“I heard that Lou Xiaoxiao, Ye Zhuixun, and that group of juniors from Qingyun City have gone to enroll into the Imperial Academy?”
Lou Jinglei snorted. “That Lou Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhuixun are indeed not bad. But the rest of them have overestimated their abilities.”
Lou Jingtao, the fourth master of the Lou family, comforted him at the side. “Big Brother, since you have decided to treat them better, don’t bother about this kind of small matter. Think about it. Even if they don’t get admitted, we won’t suffer any losses. Instead, if they get admitted, that’ll definitely bring glory to our Prefectural Governor’s mansion, which is a good matter.”
“Humph, if they are really so capable, even without Lou Qianxue, I’ll personally organize a banquet for them.”
“Haha, I reckon that it’s only possible for Lou Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhuixun. As for the rest…” Lou Jingtao shook his head. “Big Brother, we don’t have to talk about them. Come, I’ll bring you to look at something.”
“Look at what?”
“Bees! If everything goes as planned, the bees will completely mature after a few more days. Then, we can look for that person who eavesdropped on our conversation!”
When Lou Jinglei heard this, his eyes fell and a fierceness appeared on his face. “Alright, let’s go and take a look.”

On the other side, in Qingyun Mountain, the boundary of the Abnormal Fire remained silent.
The raging flames ruthlessly burned.
The origin source of the Abnormal Fire, the blue-colored Abnormal Fire, floated in the air and swayed with the wind. It exuded a hot, extraordinary, and powerful force.
Without the suppression and the hindrance of the black haze, the origin source of the Abnormal Fire acted as if it had been resurrected. It swiftly grew and became strong at an incredible speed.
At the center of these raging flames floated a slender figure.
The skin and the bones on her body were swiftly breaking up, peeling off, and drying under the scorching heat of the Abnormal Fire.
However, at the same time, a strange green light containing a strong vitality frequently flashed in the Abnormal Fire.
The blood and flesh that had broken apart gradually healed under the shimmering green light. However, before it could completely heal, the scorching Abnormal Fire again broke it apart.
The deep-rooted pain and torture seemed to be endless…

Three days later.
City Central in Fengyang prefecture.
“I heard that tens of thousands of people rushed to Fengyang prefecture to enroll into the Imperial Academy! However, the academy is only accepting 50 people.”
“Oh gosh, this ratio is… really too scary! The Imperial Academy is indeed the Imperial Academy. It’s so hard to get in!”
“But, at the same time, this also seems to be the first time that all the people from the younger generation in Tian Zhao Dynasty are competing on the same stage. It’s really making us look forward to it!”
“Chey, not a single one of our eight Young Masters from Tian Zhao and the geniuses from the Imperial City are coming on stage. How exciting can just the young people from the other areas engaging in small play would be?”
“You can’t say it like that! You may not know about the Fenghua Banquet in the Fengyang prefecture this year. Even though that was only a platform for young people in the Fengyang prefecture to have an exchange amongst themselves, it was full of ups and downs, and was extremely exciting! And now, besides the young people from Fengyang prefecture, there are still so many young people taking part. Why can’t we look forward to it?”
After another two days passed.
The trial for the Imperial Academy had already entered the last round.
The top hundred contestants out of the many people who had registered themselves competed in pairs. All fifty winners could enter the Imperial Academy.
Before the results were out, all the people who had watched the battle had become overwhelmed with emotions. They felt extremely agitated.
“The final results are coming out! The Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Fengyang prefecture is really too awesome. All of their people who had enrolled actually fought their way out. I want to know so badly whether all of them can also enter the Imperial Academy!”
