The Imperial God's Daughter

Chapter 9: I am a Student Now!

Elder Cha(The one in charge for the extra test) noticed this change in Ke YongAn and smiled contently. But he was not surprised. The picture helped all those in the Qi Strengthening stage to breakthrough, but it definitely had the greatest impact on those in the 5th and 6th rank.

Ke YongAn felt so comfortable at the moment, and with her as the center, the symbols were being assimilated in her lower Dantian. They now glowed the same light as the Qi, surrounding the mass that was slowly expanding.

Suddenly, Ke YongAn was presented with an invisible force that caused pressure to crush down on her. Ke YongAn was able to easily break through, bringing with it, her rank rising to the 6th. However, that was not the end. Her cultivation base stirred, bringing her to the peak of 6th rank. No matter how Ke YongAn tried, she could not break through to the 7th rank, so she left it at just that. Stabilizing her cultivation base, Ke YongAn breathed in and out rhythmically, opening her eyes.

Normally, there were large gaps still between the Qi Strengthening stage, but each of those stages were more powerful than the ones below. They were the 3rd rank, 7th rank, and the 9th rank.

After Ke YongAn escaped from her sea of conscious, the others slowly began to rouse too. Afterall, the picture had disappeared. What use was to put up a mysterious air?

Ke YongAn, curious, looked around at the top 10. She caught sight of Du Jian's furrowed brows and unwilling expression. Is that because he placed 2nd? Ke YongAn chuckled quietly.

They all waited, memorizing and seeking the last bits of enlightenment as the incense stick burned up. Elder Cha finally set down his cup of tea and began to speak.

"line up. One person at once will enter this sound-proof array."

It was seen that Elder Cha was proficient in the array(which are made up of a complicated design, each stroke meaning their own). Array masters were not that common, and were always treated with respect. Seeing an elder at the Heaven Dao Academy sending an Array master as a test examiner, made everyone suck in a cold breath. Everyone's revere toward the Heaven Dao Academy grew stronger.

As the line drew closer and closer to Ke YongAn, her heart became a gazelle galloping frantically everywhere. She truly wanted to evade to the east or dodge to the west.

Would she pass?

Or would she fail?

Calm down, Ke YongAn. Remember, this is only an extra test. It doesn't matter. You'll still get into the Academy, no problem!

"Next please." Elder Cha spoke kindly, the opposite of Elder Rong. It made Ke YongAn much calmer.

Taking in a deep breath before the array, Ke YongAn entered. From the outside, nothing seemed amiss, but on the inside, she could see the purple opaque covering and the symbols on the ground. Oh! They're the symbols from the picture! Ke YongAn instantly recognized them. They were actually imprinted in her mind, which was a surprising thing.

"Now, tell me, how many of the symbols have you remembered?"

Ke YongAn looked at Elder Cha respectfully. She spoke without hesitation,

"49."

Elder Cha nodded his head, but then froze. He stared at Ke YongAn with a strange glint in his eyes, trying to diffuse if she was lying or not.

"Say that again?"

"49."

Elder Cha could wave the first time off by hearing wrong, but the second time he could not make the same mistake. He thought to himself, Is this girl cheating?
