Lan Xuanyu didn’t know how, but he had got back to his dormitory and fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

The sleep was simply too sweet. The next morning, Qian Lei had to wake him up.

“Let’s go, the preliminary test is today. I don’t even know what they are testing for.”

Lan Xuanyu splashed his face with cold water and instantly felt much more awake, but he was still somewhat muddle-headed--he was really too tired in the last few days. The training that his teachers gave him was many times more intensive than that of the regular Elite Junior Class. Actually, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t precisely sure why Teacher Ji and Master Yin thought so highly of him, especially Teacher Ji. Almost everyone’s Soul Power in the Elite Junior Class was stronger than his! His only advantage was probably his Twin Martial Soul.

However, he didn’t have the energy to think about that at that moment, so he simply followed Liu Feng and Qian Lei to the big training ground.

From the Elite Junior Class, 21 students were lined up in a straight horizontal line.

Standing in front was obviously the class monitor, Lu Qianxun.

Lu Qianxun was the oldest in class, he was already 13 years old and over 1.7 meters tall. He looked like an adult with eyes brimming with radiating vigor.

Lan Xuanyu stood at the end. He didn’t have a choice since his Soul Power was the weakest. To encourage the students for their hard work cultivating, they were lined up according to the strength of their Soul Power.

Mu Zhongtian stood in front; Ji Hongbin, Yin Tianfan, and the teachers of the Elite Junior Class were present too. In comparison with the confused looks on the students’ faces, the teachers appeared to be very excited. They all knew what the qualifier was for.

Heaven Luo Academy Elite Junior Class was set up just for that at first! Although it was just the preliminary test that day, it was still a start.

Just at that moment, at the entrance of the large training ground, two people entered side by side. The person on the left was tall with silver hair and looked very dignified. He was the President of Heaven Luo Academy, Zhang Zekai.

The President rarely showed up, but he held a very high status in Heaven Luo Planet. He also had a place in political circles, but the person accompanying him was a youth. With sharp brows and bright eyes, the person seemed around 25 or 26 years old. He was tall and slender with a friendly smile on his face.

All the teachers walked forward under Yin Tianfan’s lead.

“President,” Yin Tianfan said plainly, without any expression.

Zhang Zekai was used to it, so he smiled, “It’s been hard on all of you. I hope our Elite Junior Class students will do well for today’s preliminary test. Let me introduce to all of you a Shrek Academy inner court disciple, Chen Yilei.”

Hearing the words ‘inner court disciple’, Ji Hongbin’s eyes constricted, and a flash of envy appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Chen Yilei nodded slightly and said, “Good morning, teachers. You’re Senior Yin Tianfan and Senior Ji Hongbin, right? Good morning.”

As for the other teachers, he merely nodded towards them, but he bowed 30 degrees toward Yin Tianfan and Ji Hongbin.

Yin Tianfan dodged and didn’t accept his bow, “I was fired, I did not graduate officially, so I’m undeserving of this status of ‘senior.'”

“You’re too kind, Junior,” Ji Hongbin nodded back politely.

Chen Yilei turned to Zhang Zekai and said, “President Zhang, let’s begin then.”

“Alright, please.” Zhang Zekai put out his arm and gestured courteously.

The words ‘inner court disciple’ clearly had a very shocking effect on the teachers of Heaven Luo Academy. All the teachers were like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon, accompanying Chen Yilei to meet the students of the Elite Junior Class.

Zhang Zekai said, “It’s the first time having an Elite Junior Class, and it is also an experimental class. The qualifier this time would also be a chance to assess the outcome of their learning. If it’s effective, our academy will continue to have such classes.”

Chen Yilei smiled, “Wishing these children good results. I’ll begin, then.”

“Please!”

Chen Yilei took a few steps forward and came before all 21 students of the Elite Junior Class. He smiled, “Hello, everyone, I am Chen Yilei. The preliminary test today is very simple. It’s mainly to assess your bone age, Soul Power cultivation, and Spiritual Power cultivation. Please come forward one by one later for the assessment. According to the requirements, you need to have a Soul Power rank 20 or higher for those 12 years old and below. We can stretch the rules and make an exception for 13-year-olds who are Soul Elders with rank 30 and above. We will begin then. Let’s start from the left.”

Lu Qianxun was the first from the left. He took a big step forward after hearing that. He was considered the calmest in the Elite Junior Class, but he was evidently quite anxious at this moment.

He stood still before Chen Yilei and said respectfully, “Hello, I am Lu Qianxun.”

“En, just relax.” Chen Yilei smiled. With a shake of his arm, a metal ball flew up and was suspended above Lu Qianxun’s head. Then a layer of halo began sliding down from his head, shining rapidly throughout his entire body all the way to his feet.

The metal ball returned and fitted into Chen Yilei’s Soul Guidance communication device. Chen Yilei read out loud, “Bone age, 13 years old; Soul Power, rank 33; Spiritual Power, 241 points. Passed the preliminary test.”

Hearing the words ‘passed the preliminary test,’ Lu Qianxun couldn’t hide his excitement and quickly said, “Thank you, Teacher. Thank you, Teacher.”

Chen Yilei smiled, “All the best for the qualifier later. Next.”

The preliminary test was easier than expected. All the students had to do was to step forward, get scanned by the metal ball, then list out the data and see whether they got through or not. Of course, there were teachers from Heaven Luo Academy recording the data.

The academy had already conducted the assessment many times before the students of the Elite Junior Class could even be standing there. They naturally just wanted to ensure that their students’ current cultivation could pass the test.

The assessment went on very smoothly at the beginning, including Liu Feng and Qian Lei, who fulfilled the criteria very easily. Other than Lu Qianxun, the rest were basically in the threshold of 12 years old. Some of them were already over 12, but as long as they were not 13 years old yet, they were considered a pass. There were also some who came close to 12 years old or were below 12.

The last one. Finally, it was Lan Xuanyu’s turn.

He simply slept too well last night. He was too tired previously, but not sleeping would have been better because that night’s sleep induced even more sleepiness during the day. When the students in front were getting assessed, Lan Xuanyu was half asleep.

It was finally his turn. He quickly went forward and came in front of Chen Yilei.

Chen Yilei was slightly baffled when he saw that Lan Xuanyu was a little dazed and even sleepy. This was the first time he saw a student acting like that during the preliminary test. The others were all so energetic! But this child before him didn’t bow, neither did he tell him his name.

“What is your name?” Chen Yilei asked.

Lan Xuanyu went blank for a moment before he answered, “Hello, I am Lan Xuanyu.”

Chen Yilei reminded him nicely, “Keep your energy up; otherwise, it might affect your Spiritual Power results.”

“Oh, oh, yes.” Lan Xuanyu quickly enabled his Soul Power and focused.

The metal ball floated above Lan Xuanyu’s head, the halo descended and caged his body. Then, it returned, and the numbers appeared.

“Whoa!” Seeing the numbers, Chen Yilei was taken aback.

“Bone age, 10 years old? You’re not even 11 yet?” Chen Yilei asked in surprise. From his memory, in the data provided by Heaven Luo Academy previously, all of the students were 11 years old and above. The only exceptions to that were the students who were 12.

Lan Xuanyu trembled slightly. He wasn’t paying attention to the assessment of bone age at the beginning, and this test had exposed his real age.

“I… I should be turning 11 in a few days.” He was indeed turning 11 soon.

Chen Yilei furrowed his brows and asked, “But in your registration form, it stated that you’ll be 12 years old soon. Why would it differ by a year?”

Lan Xuanyu scratched his head and said, “Maybe Daddy and Mommy made a mistake when they enrolled me previously.”
