Faction Selection
Rubbish?
Who is he talking about?
Those Alien Races at the Golden Body Realm?
Just as Chen Fan finished speaking...
An immense pressure, indescribable in words, suddenly descended from the core depths of the Sacred Land Planet!
An elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe silently appeared high in the sky.
He didn't even make any extra movements; he simply glanced coldly at the thousands of frenzied God-Eating Insect Race with his murky eyes.
In an instant, the black clouds in the sky turned to ashes and vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
He handles heavy tasks with ease, and his words carry the weight of law.
The old man was one of the Vice Deans of the Star River Martial Academy, a genuine Ninth Grade Law Realm expert!
He didn't even glance at the group of dazed, survivors below. His gaze went straight through the crowd and landed on Chen Fan. In his cloudy eyes, an undisguised expression of approval and admiration appeared.
Immediately, he swept his gaze across the entire room, let out a cold snort, and his authoritative voice resounded through the sky.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
"Most of you have fought tooth and nail for the college entrance exam, yet you are so utterly defeated by a surprise attack of equal strength! You have completely disgraced the Human Race!"
The cold words, like heavy hammer blows, struck the hearts of thousands of promising young people.
Countless people lowered their heads in shame, especially those students whose legs had gone weak from fright; they wished they could disappear into the ground.
The Vice Dean ignored the disheartened freshmen and withdrew his gaze, his voice once again resounding throughout the entire Sacred Land Planet.
"Now, the faction selection officially begins!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ten incredibly thick beams of light, each representing a different law, descended from the Beyond the Heavens and landed precisely in ten different locations on the plaza.
The ancient, heavy, earth-yellow beam of light represents the Ancient Martial Arts School.
The chaotic beam of light, with its mottled and varied colors, represents the New Martial Arts School.
The incomparably sharp, pure white beam of light represents the Steel School.
The thousands of freshmen, who were just moments before immersed in shame and shock, were instantly drawn to the ten beams of light, their eyes burning with fervor.
Factional selection! This is the key to determining their future paths!
Almost everyone's gaze was subconsciously drawn to the two most powerful beams of light, representing the Ancient Martial Arts School and New Martial Arts Schools.
That was the strongest faction recognized by the Star River Martial Academy, the ultimate dream of all geniuses.
However, just as everyone was filled with excitement and preparing to make a choice...
Chen Fan's gaze, however, bypassed the two most dazzling pillars of light and finally landed on a pillar of light emitting a soft green glow at the very edge of the square.
That place is the Life School.
And it was at this time...
Above the plaza, ten Laws Pillar representing different factions suddenly surged, their brilliance soaring into the sky and stirring up the wind and clouds.
Within the pillar of light, ten illusory figures, their auras as vast as the ocean, slowly coalesced.
Each illusory figure exuded a terrifying aura of at least the eighth-grade Divine Ability Realm, and their gazes seemed to pierce through time and space, overlooking all living beings.
The thousands of privileged individuals in the square held their breath in shock.
However, those ten pairs of eyes, powerful enough to make the Stars tremble, all fell on the child in the center of the square the moment they coalesced.
Invisible wills clashed in the air, their desire to contend making no attempt to conceal.
"Boom!"
Within the earthen-yellow pillar of light representing the Ancient Martial Arts School, a burly, mountain-like instructor with bulging muscles, seemingly cast from divine metal, broke the silence.
His voice was like a resounding bell, making the entire square buzz.
"Chen Fan! Come to my Ancient Martial Arts School Sect! I, Gu Tianxiong, will personally teach you our sect's supreme divine skill, the 'Myriad Ancient Imperishable Body'! Our sect's forbidden area, the God-Demon Body Tempering Pool, will be open to you alone indefinitely!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
The Myriad Ancient Imperishable Body!
That's an unparalleled body-refining method that can lead directly to the Ninth Grade Law Realm!
God-Demon Body Tempering Pool!
It is said that soaking in it for one day is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation outside!
Countless freshmen were green with envy; such conditions were simply unheard of!
However, before Gu Tianxiong could finish speaking, a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and holding a book smiled calmly from within the chaotic pillar of light of the New Martial Arts School, his voice clearly overpowering Zhong Ming.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Gu, brute force has its limits; it's nothing but the courage of a fool."
"Chen Fan," he looked at Chen Fan, his gaze both gentle and sharp, "I am Zhou Yan of the New Martial Arts School. Come to my school, and my school's treasure, the Dao Derivation Intelligent Brain, can help you deduce all laws, perfect your own Dao, and forge a truly Invincible Path that is unprecedented and unparalleled. All the resources of the entire New Martial Arts School will be poured into you alone!"
Another offer I couldn't refuse!
An unprecedented talent war erupted without warning right before these thousands of freshmen!
"Our Steel School offers a divine artifact embryo forged from immortal divine metal as a gift!"
"My Elemental Faction will allow you to observe Law Fragments of Origin Source laws!"
"My Void Faction can offer you the position of a direct disciple of our Chief Instructor!"
One by one, conditions that would be enough to trigger Star System war in the outside world were lavishly thrown out by these high and mighty mentors, leaving all the freshmen in the square dizzy and their hearts pounding wildly.
Even Xiao Wuming, standing beside Chen Fan, showed a hint of barely suppressed emotion on his perpetually icy face.
He knew Chen Fan was strong, but he never expected that he could drive the Star River Martial Academy to such a frenzy!
However, Chen Fan, who was at the Center of the Storm, just stood there listlessly, even yawning, as if these conditions, which would drive anyone crazy, were as boring to him as the hawking of vendors in a market.
Just as the atmosphere in the square reached its fever pitch.
At the very edge of the plaza, within the almost extinguished green pillar of light, the hunched figure of an old man with white hair and beard, appearing as if he might be blown away by the wind at any moment, slowly emerged.
Unlike the others, he didn't ask for an exorbitant price. Instead, he looked calmly at Chen Fan with his cloudy, emotionless eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Child, come to the Life School."
Seven simple words, devoid of any temptation or promise.
Upon hearing this, the bustling square fell eerily silent.
Immediately, Gu Tianxiong, the burly instructor of the Ancient Martial Arts School, let out a sneer that was anything but polite, the sound echoing loudly.
"Old Freak Lin, you haven't given up yet? Don't get involved here!"
"Your 'Great Dao of Life and Death' that no one can understand has failed to produce a single decent Star River Level Student in three hundred years! Don't ruin the future of my Human Race Qilin Prodigy!"
"Exactly!" the Steel School's mentor coldly echoed, "Your theories are ethereal and have long since deviated from the mainstream of Martial Dao combat. Going to your school would render all your fighting prowess useless!"
The other mentors also shook their heads, their words filled with disdain and contempt for the Life School.
