"What kind of reason is that? Just because it's difficult, does that mean This Young Master can't complete it? Do you think This Young Master is a mediocre person like you?" Zhang Hao said to the middle-aged Elder unceremoniously.
"Who are you calling mediocre?" The Elder was so choked by Zhang Hao that he almost couldn't breathe.
Zhang Hao said lightly, "Who is mediocre? I'm talking about whoever is."
"You're courting death!" The middle-aged Elder was enraged.
"Ke Guoshun!" Lan Haiping glared coldly at the middle-aged Elder.
The middle-aged Elder's expression changed, and he gave an awkward smile, not daring to speak further.
Lan Haiping said coldly to the middle-aged Elder, "Ke Guoshun, you are in charge of the Martial God Tower. Why did you open the Level 10 mode? I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Before that, I hope you will be honest and not cause any more trouble."
Ke Guoshun knew that Lan Haiping was extremely dissatisfied with him. He gave an awkward smile and dared not speak again.
Lan Haiping glanced at Zhang Hao and smiled gently, "Kid, you truly make me look at you with new eyes. I'm just very curious, what did you encounter on the tenth stage?"
Not only Lan Haiping, but many Martial Warriors present were also very curious about this question, because none of them had ever entered the tenth floor. Although some people in history had entered the tenth floor, it was a long time ago. Now, Zhang Hao can be considered the first person in recent times to enter the Level 10 mode.
Zhang Hao, however, smiled easily and said, "It was nothing. I just encountered an Old man, and that Old man told me that as long as I could last for half an incense stick's time in his hands, I would pass the test. Moreover, that Old man also suppressed his cultivation to be at the same Realm as mine."
"Lasting for half an incense stick's time counts as passing?"
The people present were momentarily stunned, some not daring to believe their ears.
Ke Guoshun clearly thought he had caught Zhang Hao's weakness and immediately clamored, "Everyone see? This time there was a problem with the Martial God Tower. This kid didn't pass based on his real strength. Therefore, this Elder suggests that his result this time should not count."
Lan Haiping's heart moved, and he looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Zhang Hao, do you know the name of the person who tested you?"
"I don't know his name, but he told me to call him Flying Old!" Zhang Hao said.
"Flying Old? Could it be him?" Lan Haiping was slightly surprised.
Clearly, Lan Haiping knew who Flying Old was.
An Elder of the Martial God Tower nearby also seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "Could it be Dean Xiongfēi?"
Lan Haiping sighed, "It has long been rumored that Dean Xiongfēi once left a wisp of his will in the Martial God Tower. From the looks of it, this is not a rumor, but true."
Those present who knew the inside story, including the Deacons and Elders, were greatly shocked. Who is Xie Xiongfēi? Almost everyone present knew. He is the legendary Dean of Tianwu Academy, and also the former Dean of Tianwu Academy. When he led Tianwu Academy, Tianwu Academy was the head of the Three Great Academies. It was also the number one College in the Northern Region. At that time, Tianwu Academy was extremely powerful. As the Dean, Xie Xiongfēi was already at the Peak of the Martial Grandmaster Realm. In order to pursue a higher path of martial arts, Xie Xiongfēi went to the Emperor Domain and never returned. Of course, no one would forget this legendary Dean of Tianwu Academy. Many Elders and Deacons of Tianwu Academy even missed the time when the former Dean was here, because that was the strongest period for Tianwu Academy.
Lan Haiping laughed heartily, "Hahaha, now no one will think that Zhang Hao lasting for half an incense stick's time on the tenth floor doesn't count as passing, right?"
Naturally, the people present had no objections. Nonsense, that was Xie Xiongfēi. Let alone lasting for half an incense stick's time in his hands, even at the same Realm, being able to last for three moves in his hands would be considered amazing.
"Alright, now I announce that Zhang Hao has passed this assessment," Lan Haiping said spiritedly.
Lan Haiping's Pay attention to of Zhang Hao was greatly deepened by this assessment.
In a room next to the Martial God Tower, the Thin Face Martial King's expression was extremely concealed, and he even crushed a vase in his hand.
"Damn it! How could it have failed again? Is this kid really my jinx?"
The Thin Face Martial King was helpless and crushed a communication talisman. The message was immediately transmitted tens of thousands of miles away.
Ziyang Sect, tens of thousands of miles away.
A Martial King was standing respectfully in front of a White-robed Youth. This Martial King was precisely the Triangular Eyes Martial King who had repeatedly plotted against Zhang Hao before.
"How did the matter I asked you to do go?" The White-robed Youth opened his eyes and looked at the Triangular Eyes Martial King.
If Zhang Hao were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this White-robed Youth was Xiao Long, the number one Genius in the Northern Region.
"Young Master, it is this subordinate's incompetence. That person has already joined Tianwu Academy," the Triangular Eyes Martial King said shamefully.
Xiao Long frowned and glared coldly at the Triangular Eyes Martial King, "You can't even do such a small thing well. What's the use of having you?"
The Triangular Eyes Martial King immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and said, "Young Master, this subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me."
"Forget it, get up! That kid is not worth my attention. Since he has joined Tianwu Academy, This Young Master will not let him live in peace. I must find some fun for him," Xiao Long sneered.
"What does Young Master mean?" The Triangular Eyes Martial King was a little confused.
Xiao Long glanced at the Triangular Eyes Martial King and said lightly, "You don't need to interfere in this matter. I have my own arrangements."
Inside Tianwu Academy.
Zhang Hao and Lan Haiping walked out of the Martial God Tower.
"Kid, here is your identity token. Go and collect your clothes and room! Although your talent is good and you passed the most difficult Level 10 assessment for geniuses, our Tianwu Academy has always advocated for being down-to-earth. You can only be an Outer Courtyard student now. In the assessment after half a year, if you can stand out, you can join the Inner Courtyard. You decide for yourself!" Lan Haiping said to Zhang Hao.
"Understood, President Lan." Zhang Hao nodded.
"Hmm, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. If you need anything, you can come find me anytime," Lan Haiping said gently to Zhang Hao.
After giving all the instructions, Lan Haiping strode away.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for completing the C-level mission. The C-level gift package has been sent to your System space. Please check it," the System's voice prompted.
It's completed just like that. Zhang Hao was delighted.
However, the most urgent matter is to register and get a room. Zhang Hao didn't open the System gift package immediately. Instead, he prepared to finish these trivia first.
"Hmm, I wonder how Qiu Yu, Ying Da, and Dou Bi are doing. They should have officially become students of Tianwu Academy by now, right? But I also have to go and register right away. It's just that Old Lan didn't find anyone to guide me. The College is so big, where should I go to register?" Zhang Hao was a little depressed.
