Test Of The Jia Nan Academy, Asking For A Leave

"Then Father, I promise on my name as the Hao Clan's Young Master Hao Shen, I will make the clan stand at the peak of this world by becoming the strongest person in this world and I'll let our Ancestor be proud of the bloodline they left behind them." When Hao Shen said these words, a majestic aura came out from his body, and at the same time, in the far away starry sky, a little star started to revolve extremely quickly bringing with the rotation, a majestic aura of domination.

"Good, with your promise I'm reassured, I know that you will be able to do it, now you have to go and take the test of the Jia Nan Academy." Hao Tian smiled as he replied.

"Yes Father, I'm going right now." Hao Shen nodded before departing from the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour later, Hao Clan's City's Martial Arena, the group of seventeen from the Hao Clan's younger generation was standing before the peoples of the Jia Nan Academy who were led by Ruo Ling.

"Welcome everyone, I'll introduce myself, I'm a professor at the Outer Court of the Jia Nan Academy, my name is Ruo Ling." Ruo Ling gently introduced herself, that gentle aura was one of the reasons she could easily become one of the professors of the Jia Nan Academy.

"Today's test won't be something too difficult, the only requirement is to be able to come from where you currently stand to where I am, I will use my pressure as a Da Dou Shi to disturb you, those who can reach this place will be able to come with me to the Jia Nan Academy to further their study of cultivation. Let's start now." Ruo Ling then created a pressure around here and gave the signal to start.

The Hao Clan's youth couldn't be underestimated since their daily cultivation instructor was also Da Dou Shi realm practitioner, thus they were accustomed to this type of aura, they confidently advanced in the force field one after another, but their expressions soon became serious, the pressure was a lot heavier than the one they were habituated to endure, that was because the daily instructor mostly used half of their strength.

Hao Shen was looking at the thirteen youths of the Hao Clan who were enduring the pressure, aside from him there were three other persons who hadn't yet started, they were Hao Wei, Hao Li, and Hao JinJing, when the thirteen youths managed to get to the other side, the four of them then walked directly inside of the force field and went through it, Hao Shen was the fastest since he didn't even feel the pressure, Hao JinJing and the two others were a little slower, but the three of them also managed to pass.

"Good, the seventeenth youths of the Hao Clan all meet the requirement to enter the Jia Nan Academy, we will depart tomorrow afternoon since we get some other city to visit on our recruitment trip." Ruo Ling informed the few youths of the Hao Clan so that they could prepare themselves since they probably won't come back in the Jia Ma Empire before at least two or three years.

"Excuse me teacher Ruo Ling, I would like to take a leave from the Academy for a year right now." The voice surprised all the peoples present in the Martial Arena, Hao Shen didn't speak about this to anyone yet.

"Hmm, and why do you want to take a leave?" Ruo Ling smile started to fade a little.

"Because I want to become stronger before I come to the Jia Nan Academy, and I will be able to do so by remaining in the Jia Ma Empire." Hao Shen didn't plan to hide his purpose so he said directly, but the peoples from the Jia Nan Academy didn't take it well.

The smile on Ruo Ling had already disappeared and she looked toward Hao Shen.

"You think you can train better by yourself than by joining the Academy."

"I don't think so, I'm practically sure that I can train better alone than by joining the Outer Court of the Jia Nan Academy, as for the Inner Court, this is another matter, but I'll definitely join it." Hao Shen wasn't arrogant here, the strongest person in the whole Outer Court was only a Da Dou Shi realm practitioner, and he probably wasn't a match for Hao Shen.

"Young Master Hao, this is quite an arrogant thing to say, alright, I'll allow it but only if you can take fifty of my strike, you are already a Peak Dou Shi realm practitioner, so it shouldn't be too much to handle for you right?"

"We should change this rule since it wouldn't be fair for you."

The peoples present were shocked by what Hao Shen had just said, this could be considered as an arrogant statement but before they could say anything, a pressure erupted from Hao Shen's body, it was even more powerful than Ruo Ling previous pressure.

"Because as you can see, I'm no longer a Dou Shi realm practitioner." Hao Shen just smiled when he saw the gazes of the peoples around him.

Ruo Ling eyes widened when she felt this pressure, she was a 3-star Da Dou Shi realm practitioner but she felt suppressed by Hao Shen's aura, it could only mean that Hao Shen was stronger than her.

"Alright, I admit defeat, you can go, I'll allow it, but you have to come to the Academy in a year from now." Ruo Ling then smiled and ordered Hao Shen

"Alright, I'll come at that time teacher Ruo Ling." Hao Shen also smiled and took his leave with the other youths of the Hao Clan.

"Brother Shen, didn't you want to come to the Jia Nan Academy?" Hao Wei was the first to talk when they left, Hao Li also looked curiously at Hao Shen.

"Nah, for the moment, I'll stay in the Jia Ma Empire since interesting things are going to happen in the next three years, but you guys better reach the Da Dou Shi realm by the time I come to the Jia Nan Academy so that we can all go to the Inner Court at the same time, I'll see you at that time, good luck." Hao Shen then departed with Hao JinJing toward their family's courtyard, during the time they were walking, Hao JinJing didn't say a single word, and that made Hao Shen felt quite weird.

They soon arrived at their family's courtyard and explained the things to his father, Hao Tian didn't say a thing about Hao Shen's choice and accompanied Hao JinJing while Hao Shen went to prepare for his trip.

"Alright, the first step of my journey toward the peak starts here." Hao Shen smiled when he reached his courtyard.
