"Hu …!"

In a vast and endless forest, two figures gradually appeared.

"Brother Xia, where are we being sent to?" Zhou Yao stared up at the blue sky, where a few white clouds were drifting about. At this moment, Xia Hewwu and he were standing atop a tree fork about three hundred meters high, gazing at the endless ancient forest.

It was called a forest, but it was also called a forest. Thousands of ancient trees towered, and judging from their appearance, they were probably hundreds of years old, and among them, there were a few thousand feet tall trees that were comparable to those mountains. Occasionally, there would be a flock of migratory birds flying in the sky, and from time to time, sharp hissing sounds could be heard.

At this moment, standing on a tree branch, Xia Hengwu was shocked to see that in the distance, there were a few large sized Demonic Beasts fighting. Their roars echoed throughout the entire forest.

"Is this the small world that Principal Xiao spoke of?" Xia Hun Wu was silent for a moment before he muttered.

"But why would Old Feng and Old Lei's teleportation formation be set up in this small world?" Zhou Yao's brows were slightly furrowed as he listened to Xia Hun Wu's explanation. It was clear that he was not at all comfortable facing this unfamiliar environment.

It was said that this small world was created by an almighty Spiritual Array. In this Spiritual Array, it was like a world, with no one stepping into it.

However, this lack of human traffic was quickly broken by a couple of rushing wind sounds. One could see an enormous green stone appearing in the air.

When they were first transported over, the enormous green stone was not above their heads. Otherwise, with the area of the green stone, it would have been impossible for the two of them not to sense it.

"Spatial array, huh?"

Staring at the green stone that suddenly appeared above his head, Xia Hun Wu's eyes were filled with shock.

This thousand feet bluestone was in an inverted triangle shape. Clouds and mist lingered around this bluestone, giving it the appearance of a fairyland.

At this moment, a spatial Spiritual Array had emerged on this platform that was thousands of feet high. Every time it shone with a bright light, a figure would appear on the platform.

In a short two hours, the originally deserted platform immediately became lively. Numerous noises also gradually spread out from the platform.

"Bam!"

Just as the crowd on the platform reached a clamor, a muffled sound rang out from the surroundings.

After this muffled sound ended, the light from the Spiritual Array gradually weakened. At the same time, Xia Hun Wu and Zhou Yao's figures also flew up to the platform.

Just as he landed on the platform, Xia Hun Wu could feel the number of people on the platform. However, these people were looking around vigilantly. It was obvious that they were unfamiliar with this place.

"Brother Xia, didn't you say that the exam would only start tomorrow?" "Why is the test about to begin now that we've arrived?" Zhou Yao's cautious voice came from behind Xia Hun Wu. Zhou Yao was just like the others, carefully observing their surroundings.

His voice was a little soft, and even Xia Hengwu could barely hear him. He could feel that the people on the platform, even the weakest of them, were at the 3rd level of the Soul Origin Stage. There were also quite a few among them, causing him to feel an inexplicable pressure.

"I don't know. But since I'm here, I might as well take care of it. Let's see what's going on behind me." Xia Hun Wu lightly laughed as he lightly said.

"Yes."

Listening to Xia Hun Wu's words, Zhou Yao's complicated thoughts slowly faded away. With Brother Xia around, there was nothing to be afraid of. Even a Spirit Stage powerhouse had been defeated by him.

Although Zhou Yao didn't know how many evildoers there were in this little world, he didn't think that Xia Hun Wu was capable of protecting him. He didn't think that in this group of people, there would be many people who could surpass Xia Hun Wu.

After comforting Zhou Yao for a moment, Xia Hwu started to scan the area. Currently, there were thousands of people on the platform. However, most of them were not conversing with each other. There were only a few people gathered together.

"This little world is no different from the real world. Only major powers like Spiritual Arrays would be able to create such a place, right?"

Xia Hengwu swept his eyes around and sighed in his heart. To have such attainments in Spiritual Arrays, his level must not be low.

With his spiritual force, he could feel that the weakest amongst the figures on the platform was at the 3rd level of the Soul Origin Stage. There were even a few who had reached the Soul Transformation stage.

It is indeed worthy of being the examination of the Five Great Academies. The geniuses of the twelve super empires should have all gathered here, right?

Compared to the slots in the previous selection, this sort of test was simply incomparable.

Dong!

While Xia Hengwu was sensing the surrounding people, a bell like sound suddenly rang out from the center of the platform. At the same time, everyone hurriedly looked over and a spatial Spiritual Array appeared once again.

At the top of the Spiritual Array, a figure of light condensed and turned into the appearance of an old man.

"Little fellows, welcome to the Five Great Academies. I am one of the monitors of this small world."

Smiling at the youths on the platform, the elderly figure said, "Since we've already arrived in this small world, the Holy Academy's examination is considered to have begun. Next up, I'll tell you the rules of this small world."

Everyone on the platform stared intently at that old figure. In an instant, the originally noisy platform turned deathly silent.

This small world that we are in is known as the Five Courtyard Realm and is the place used by the Five Great Academies to test the students every year. The thousand meter wide blue rock that you are standing on is called the Heaven Trampling Stone, and there are hundreds of them within the Five Courtyard Realm.

Many people's expressions changed continuously upon hearing these words. There were already over a thousand figures on their Heaven Stepping Stone. In other words, there were at least several millions of people on the Five Great Academies' examination? Isn't that a bit too terrifying?

Ke ke, the recruitment examination of our Five Great Academies is not limited to just the twelve super empires. There are also Soul Region and other super powers, similar to these small worlds of the Five academy world, and four others. Currently, we are also experiencing the same examination as all of you. The old figure of light laughed.

Hearing this, Xia Hun Wu couldn't help but grin. Even the Soul Region was participating in the examinations of the Five Great Academies? The Five Great Academies were truly worthy of being the most powerful place on the Soul Martial Continent. Their efforts could only be described with the word 'terrifying'.

In this era where only the blood of soul beasts was respected, only the Five Great Academies could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
