Although Chen Mobai had a premonition that he might win the championship, he still felt indescribable when he actually achieved it.

Satisfaction, excitement, happiness…

Various emotions surged in his heart, eventually turning into a sense of accomplishment!

“Old Chen, you’re awesome!”

Below the stage, led by Lu Hongsheng, the students from the Fifth High School had already rushed up. However, this time Chen Mobai was prepared and didn’t let them lift him up.

As the crowd was celebrating, Chen Mobai saw the principal of his school and another middle-aged cultivator with a grim face approaching the Taoist master in the red robe. The other one must be the principal of Yang Jing’s school.

Soon, Principal He Jingshan came over with a hearty laugh.

“Chen Mobai, you’ve really brought honor to our school this time.”

“Well, it’s just what I should do.”

“Haha, after we return to school, I’ll make a banner about your championship in the duel and hang it at the school gate.”

Amidst He Jingshan’s laughter, Chen Mobai felt a bit embarrassed.

It was too ostentatious.

At this moment, he saw Kong Feichen and Qing Nv coming onto the stage. The latter gave him a glance, then picked up the unconscious Yang Jing.

“That’s strange.”

Ning Anning had already stepped down when the duel ended. After finishing his diagnosis, he withdrew his two fingers from Yang Jing’s wrist, frowning.

“Are you her family?”

He glanced at Kong Feichen and Qing Nv, hesitating about what to say.

“Mr. Ning, if she enters the Medical Palace, can this condition be cured?”

Qing Nv knew about Yang Jing’s situation and asked the most crucial question.

“It depends on her.”

Ning Anning shook his head, then gave Qing Nv some instructions about diet and recovery, along with some talismanic medicines. After that, he turned and walked towards Chen Mobai.

“Are you feeling alright?”

“No major issues.”

Although he said so, for safety’s sake, Ning Anning still took Chen Mobai’s pulse and checked his wounds.

“They’re just minor injuries. You’ll be fine after a week’s rest.”

After Ning Anning’s confirmation, Chen Mobai followed He Jingshan to the Taoist master in the red robe.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you for your praise, Taoist master.”

“As the top student of this year’s Danxia City, if you can’t enter one of the four major Taoist academies, it would be a disgrace to me. However, the two academies you want to go to, Jumang and Mending the Sky, are impossible. Kunpeng and Wuqi, are willing to accept you for my sake. Are you willing to change your preference?”

The Taoist master in the red robe was very straightforward. After congratulating Chen Mobai on his victory, he gave him a huge surprise.

“I’m one hundred percent willing!”

If he could enter one of the four major Taoist academies, his ancestors’ graves would be smoking with joy. There was no room for Chen Mobai to be picky.

However, he didn’t expect that two academies were willing to admit him.

“Very well, then do you want to go to Kunpeng Academy or Wuqi Academy? Why don’t you listen to the representatives of these two academies first?”

As the Taoist master in the red robe spoke, he pointed to Lan Haitian and Bian Yiqing, then handed the stage over to them.

“Your talent in dueling is not bad, and the spells you used in the duel are also focused on water attributes.”

“If you can enter Kunpeng Academy, you can practice the Giant Kun Technique, which is the supreme external technique second only to the Six Imperial Sutras.”

“After you complete Qi Refining, we have some Giant Kun essence blood in our academy. If you take it with the Giant Kun Technique, it can increase your Foundation Establishment success rate by 10%.”

Lan Haitian smiled and stated his conditions, which made Chen Mobai feel flattered.

In his view, it would be a blessing just to be able to enter an academy.

Could it be that his performance was so outstanding that it caught the attention of the representatives of the four major Taoist academies, or did Lan Haitian have ulterior motives?

“We also have some spiritual objects in Wuqi Academy that can assist in Foundation Establishment. However, like the Giant Kun essence blood, they need to be exchanged with academic credits.”

As soon as Bian Yiqing spoke, he pointed out what Lan Haitian had not mentioned in his words.

So, the Giant Kun essence blood was not given for free, but needed to be exchanged with academic credits.

“As for the techniques, I’m not qualified to give you any advice. If you join our academy, you can ask the professors who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage after the school starts.”

After Bian Yiqing finished speaking, he glanced at the Taoist master in the red robe and signaled to Chen Mobai that he was also a teacher from Wuqi Academy.

However, Chen Mobai didn’t notice the meaning conveyed by his gaze at all.

He was completely immersed in ecstasy. He originally thought that his score was not enough and he couldn’t enter the academy he desired.

He didn’t expect that after winning the duel, his performance moved the representatives of the two academies.

Should he go to Kunpeng Academy or Wuqi Academy?

If it were before, he would definitely choose Kunpeng Academy, as it was known as the “Number One of the Immortal Gate” and had the most powerful faculty.

But after talking with Qing Nv at night, he understood his pursuit.

“I want to go to Wuqi Academy!”

Chen Mobai made his choice without hesitation.

This decision surprised Bian Yiqing.

Because most students would choose Kunpeng Academy when given the same choice between Kunpeng Academy and Wuqi Academy.

He didn’t expect Chen Mobai to choose him, and his tone was firm, without any hesitation.

“Oh, don’t you want to think about it? This is not urgent, after all, it’s a decision that concerns the rest of your life. We can give you a few days to think about it.”

Chen Mobai shook his head after hearing the words of the Taoist master in the red robe.

He had thought it through!

This was his path!

His first choice was Wuqi Academy, and his second choice was Chunyang Academy.”Since that’s the case, let’s settle on this.”

Seeing the determination in Chen Mobai’s eyes, the red-robed Taoist master clapped his hands in delight. He then asked He Jingshan to bring out the application form that Chen Mobai had filled out earlier and made some modifications.

After the application form was completed, it was handed over to Bian Yiqing.

“What a pity.”

Lan Haitian sighed regretfully.

“May I ask why you didn’t choose Kunpeng Dao Academy? Is it because of the misunderstanding between us?”

Chen Mobai shook his head upon hearing this.

He didn’t have any particular feelings towards Lan Haitian, but he certainly couldn’t announce his plan to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll in public. In the end, he chose a very appropriate reason.

“The reason I was able to cultivate my divine consciousness is because I listened to Master Bian’s ‘Spring Banquet’. I consider myself half a disciple of Master Bian. Given the same circumstances, I naturally chose the Dance Instrument Dao Academy.”

Upon hearing this, Bian Yiqing was taken aback for a moment, then he took a closer look at Chen Mobai.

Since he had traveled all over the thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands of the Immortal Gate with the Jade Phoenix troupe, he had seen too many audiences and initially didn’t have any impression of Chen Mobai.

But once Chen Mobai mentioned it, with his Foundation Establishment level divine consciousness, he recalled it.

After all, over the years, he had only performed once in Danxia City.

“Good boy, you respect your teachers and value their teachings.”

The red-robed Taoist master nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
