C61 Contradictory

Cough cough!

Under the heavy coughing, Qin Shaojie also slowly opened his eyes.

It seemed that he had passed the gravity test on the stone stairs.

After taking in a deep breath, Qin Shaojie remembered clearly that under the power of the Eight Immortal Fist, he did not hesitate to overload his body with the power of his blood essence. He jumped over the last few steps, disregarding the risk of his body being damaged.

Everything was as Qin Shaojie had guessed, and in the end, he managed to pass through the trial of the stone stairs. However, the last bit of his consciousness also stopped at the last moment before he fainted. He was unconscious.

As he slightly moved his body, it was still the pain that came from bones breaking. Very clearly, previously, when his body was overloaded from the circulation, he was still in a state of sequelae, but Qin Shaojie was not the least bit worried. This was because he was very clear that every time he was on the verge of death, the potential in his body would be further stimulated.

What he wanted was the potential to erupt after constantly struggling on the brink of life and death. This was the fastest way to stimulate his growth.

The thing that was imprinted into his line of sight was not the house that he had imagined, but, instead, the open air plaza, and he himself was also placed horizontally on top of the marble, without any bedding at all. Luckily Qin Shaojie's body was extremely strong, otherwise, with such a heavy injury, if the cold Qi entered his body, his injuries would have been even worse.

Looking around his body, he realized that the wounds on his body had been bandaged. Although they weren't very detailed, there was no problem with the blood. Feeling the warm current flowing through his body, Qin Shaojie knew that someone had probably fed him a good pill. After all, he knew that his internal organs were all broken, and such serious injuries had caused a huge problem to his muscles, veins and bones. Even though his body was in pain, it was undoubtedly much better than his injuries.

Qin Shaojie tried to find a few people to talk to from the surroundings, but he was helpless. This place was extremely quiet, so quiet that even he could not hear the sound of footsteps.

Even the marble bricks on the ground had been specially cleaned. This place faintly gave off the feeling of a courtyard, and it was definitely not a deserted courtyard. After all, there were no weeds, nor was there any dust, as if it had been specially cleaned.

You're awake?

Right at this moment, a rough voice came from afar, followed by a middle-aged man who walked towards Qin Shaojie.

His body was recovering extremely quickly. Although he seemed to be unable to control his own limbs besides the pain when he just woke up, after a few minutes, he also gradually recovered the control of his body. Qin Shaojie was extremely shocked by the speed of his recovery.

Even if it was now, Qin Shaojie felt that his body was no longer able to move, but he knew that no matter what, he had to stand up, otherwise, it would be a joke.

After standing up, Qin Shaojie had clearly seen the middle-aged man approaching, after his eyes narrowed slightly, he could guess the identity of the man, it was most likely someone from the Scholar's Garden.

The Scholar's Garden was located at the top of the hill, and the majority of the people there were Holy Flame Academy's experts. Other than the powerful auras that emanated from their bodies, the most important thing about these experts was that they were wearing clothes because there was a word 'fragrance' embroidered on their chests.

Thank you!

Although he didn't know who this man was, Qin Shaojie knew clearly that during the process of reaching the top, no one else was allowed to appear. Therefore, compared to the fact that he had fainted, it was the people from the Scholar's Manor who made their move.

You're recovering much faster than I thought. Come with me.

The middle-aged man continued to size Qin Shaojie up. Although Qin Shaojie was still pale, he looked much better than before. He thought that Qin Shaojie would at least need a few more days before he would be able to awaken, but he never expected that it would actually be this fast.

However, it was also good to wake up. If they were to wait any longer, it was likely that they would not be able to arrange it at this time.

Nodding, Qin Shaojie did not say much.

He did not know how long he had been unconscious for, but he was certain that it was not a matter of just a few hours. Presumably, the youths who had obtained spots in the large cities had already finished their stair tests.

As he thought of this, Qin Shaojie also slightly furrowed his brows. The oppressive power on the stone stairs caused him to be surprised, and in a situation where he did not use any methods, simply relying on his physical body to make it through was truly not easy.

Back then, Qin Shaojie did have other methods, but he was unwilling to do so.

His appearance had already garnered the attention of the crowd. If they were to expose their own methods, they wouldn't be some Good thing. Keeping a trump card was the truth that Qin Shaojie had comprehended in his previous life. After all, if these people were purely his peers, Qin Shaojie would not worry about them, but he knew very well, there were probably many among them who wanted his life.

The middle-aged man in front seemed to understand Qin Shaojie's situation better, and his walking speed was also slower than usual, perhaps because it was convenient for Qin Shaojie to follow him.

Along the way, Qin Shaojie didn't say anything, nor did he have any intentions to inquire. Since this middle-aged man didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask.

After that, the middle-aged man, Qin Shaojie realized that the courtyard was much larger than what he had imagined, the winding corridors seemed to never end, and the middle-aged man did not say a single word, causing the atmosphere between the two of them to become more solemn.

Fortunately, Qin Shaojie had discovered a lot of other people along the way. Although they were few in numbers, they could at least maintain the operation of the courtyard. Some of them even emitted powerful auras. As of now, Qin Shaojie was still severely injured, so he was naturally quite sensitive towards those powerful auras. Fortunately, these auras did not have any intention to hurt him, if not, under his current state, there would be someone who would have any thoughts towards him. Qin Shaojie was afraid that he would be in a passive position.

But on the way, Qin Shaojie's face also revealed a look of suspicion, these people all seemed to know him, and whenever he walked past, they would always turn their attention towards him. Although there were no words or questions, Qin Shaojie was able to discern something from their twinkling eyes.

Qin Shaojie still did not speak a word. Although there were many things he wanted to ask, he had to suppress those questions within his heart. If there were no surprises, then he should be able to understand everything after a while.

Who would have thought that he would still rush forward? This was truly unexpected.

At this moment, a somewhat hunched body was slowly turning around in a pavilion deep within the Scholar's Incense Garden. This person seemed to be of an older generation. A white beard had appeared on his head, and even his face was full of wrinkles. However, his eyes were bright and full of life, as if he was in his prime.

This was also quite different from the image that he had on display.

However, if an expert was present right now, he would be quite shocked. This old man did not have any fluctuation in Xuan Qi, but his body seemed to have an invisible magnetic field. Anyone who was slightly closer to him would feel a sense of awe spreading from the depths of their soul, and would not even have the courage to attack.

The other people sitting in the pavilion lowered their heads slightly after the old man finished speaking.

Not only the old man, but no one had expected it to be like this.

This little guy is really giving my Holy Flame Academy a difficult problem.

The old man continued speaking in a low voice. However, no one could tell that he was feeling rather helpless.

anemopyrexia, if he passes, it might be a shameful thing for my Holy Flame Academy. After all, in all these years, there had not been a single disciple who joined with his circumstances, and the goal of going to the Holy Flame Academy was to cultivate true experts.

This Qin Shaojie obviously did not qualify.

After obtaining a spot, he would be qualified. No matter how this entry fell into his hands, it was all his ability. Moreover, to pass the stages at the Body Tempering realm, even in the many years of teaching in my Holy Flame Academy, is rarely seen.

The two people who spoke were the two elders from the Scholar's Garden.

As the gateway to the Holy Flame Academy, the people in charge of the Calligraphy Garden were naturally the experts sent by the Holy Flame Academy. However, whether it was in terms of status or realm, the experts in the Scholar's Garden were slightly inferior to the instructors and elders in the Holy Flame Academy.

After all, although the Calore Incense Garden appeared to be unattended, it was not free enough. In this place, one only had a pure heart and no desire to cultivate. It was rather boring. Not many people would come here if they had a choice.

At this moment, the few elders in the Scholar's Incense Garden also had different opinions on this matter.

Back then, they didn't have any hesitation in saving Qin Shaojie. After all, it was their duty.

However, what really gave them a headache was how they would deal with this matter after Qin Shaojie woke up.

Back then, everyone thought that Qin Shaojie would not be able to pass this stone stairs test, so they weren't the least bit worried. However, they didn't expect that the final situation would be like this.

Moreover, it was passed in front of so many people, so if Qin Shaojie was not allowed to join the Holy Flame Academy, it would undoubtedly be slapping his face.

But if he joined, it would basically affect Holy Flame Academy's reputation.

Everyone was clear that no matter how Qin Shaojie was raised, there was no hope for him.

After all, he was the real deal.

At this moment, two figures quietly appeared at the end of the passageway.
