C35 Three Places

"Lin Tao is really powerful!"

"He actually crushed the playing piece."

"If this guy isn't chosen, then the heavens would not tolerate it."

Looking at the white powder that fell from Lin Tao's palm, not only were Newbie Students shocked, but the surrounding senior students who were watching were also stunned.

Except Song Chenglie, the other mentors present also secretly nodded, revealing looks of approval.

Hearing the exclamations from the surrounding people, Lin Tao looked at He Qingyuan in anticipation with even more intense complacency on his face.

However, He Qingyuan still wore the same expression as before, and he was so calm that his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

Without saying a word, he continued on to another student.

Everyone was at a loss, thinking that He Qingyuan was a man of 'facial paralysis'. From the very beginning, he had the same expression. Of course, no one would doubt Lin Tao's strength.

Not long later, He Qingyuan arrived in front of Chu Hen and Mu Feng.

"Hey, hey, look at mine first." Mu Feng stretched out his hand with a face full of anticipation.

Without waiting for him to open his hand, He Qingyuan coldly said, "There's no need to look. You are out."

"Damn, why!" Hearing that, Mu Feng almost jumped up, "How can you be like this? You can't treat me unfairly just because I'm more handsome than you!"

The surrounding people couldn't help but twitch their eyebrows. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?

"It has nothing to do with how handsome you are." He Qingyuan replied indifferently.

"Then why? If you don't give me a convincing reason, I'll just go to your house."

"Because you can't tell right from left. I just told you guys to put the playing piece in your right palm. Which hand did you put your playing piece in?"

Which hand?

People in the plaza all fixed their eyes to the same place. They found that Mu Feng opened his left hand in front of He Qingyuan, but there was nothing in his left hand. Clearly, that playing piece was in Mu Feng's left hand.

Mu Feng stared blankly for a moment, and then muttered in dissatisfaction, "So what? I am left-handed."

"Hahahaha!"

The entire audience suddenly burst into laughter, and even the mentors on the high platform were amused. Heavenly Star Martial Mansion would enroll such a funny student this year.

Chu Hen was also helpless. He never thought that the person beside him would not even be able to tell right from left.

He Qingyuan shook his head, and he did not pay attention to Mu Feng anymore, and turned to look at Chu Hen.

Chu Hen understood and immediately opened up his right hand. The white playing piece was not broken, and had lines and lines from the center of the playing piece.

These thin lines appeared to be arranged in a regular pattern, like a ripple on the surface of water.

The astonishment in He Qingyuan's eyes quickly disappeared. Like before, he didn't say anything as he turned around and walked to the next person.

"Alas!" Mu Feng sighed helplessly, and patted Chu Hen on his shoulders, "Brother, don't be discouraged. Even if I was that handsome I has already been eliminated from the competition, so don't be too upset."

Very quickly, He Qingyuan finished reading them.

Everyone had his heart in his mouth and revealed nervous expressions.

"It's done! The test is over. I shall now announce the three people who will become Mentor Xi Lan’s students." He Qingyuan said as he walked forward.

Under the surprised and expectant gazes of the crowd, He Qingyuan pointed at a handsome youth, "You have passed."

The youth was completely surprised as a bashful smile surged out from his face.

"And you!"

The second person He Qingyuan pointed to was a young lady wearing a red cheongsam. The young lady was quite pretty and had a delicate figure. Her large eyes were filled with joy.

Only One place left!

Everyone in the plaza couldn't help but fix his eyes towards Lin Tao.

Lin Tao crossed his arms in front of his body, with a cocky smile on his face.

"You passed!"

When He Qingyuan said the words, everyone present was dumbfounded, and the smile on Lin Tao's face stiffened.

The eyes of Song Chenglie, who was standing on the high platform, lit up.

The last person He Qingyuan pointed to was exactly the Chu Hen who was standing beside Mu Feng.

"It's him?"

"How could it be possible?"

"Lin Tao is the strongest newbie student this year!"

"Yeah, there's no reason for Lin Tao not to be selected!"

Everyone started to voice his questions. Mu Feng's face was full of surprise, with a 'there-must-be-a-mistake' expression.

On the other hand, Chu Hen was more composed, because he could already guess the purpose of this simple test.

"Why him!" Lin Tao was furious. His face was gloomy as he questioned, "Why am I unqualified? I have managed to open nine Martial Veins and possess the Boundary of Blood Lineage of the Barbarian Cow Martial Body. In the future, I will definitely level up to War Body. Of these three people, who has the ability to beat me?"

Everyone was secretly shocked.

Lin Tao was probably the only one who could speak like this on the first day after official admission.

Of course, Lin Tao did have the qualification to say such words.

Facing the questioning of Lin Tao, He Qingyuan explained in an indifferent tone, "The three persons that Mentor Xi Lan wants to choose are not the most powerful ones, but those who match her teaching methods best."

"Humph, what kind of excuse is that?"

"I don't need to explain anything to you. What’s more, please don't talk to me in a haughty manner. You don't have the qualification!"

"Buzz, buzz!"

When he was finishing his words, a powerful aura was immediately released from He Qingyuan's body.

The air was in chaos, and waves of noises were rising and falling.

Everyone was startled. Many of them were suppressed by He Qingyuan's aura. Lin Tao's expression changed yet again. Facing He Qingyuan with his Rank Nine of Essence Mastering Stage, Lin Tao indeed didn't have much of the ability to be arrogant.

Although with Lin Tao's talent and potential, he might still surpass He Qingyuan in the future.

However, the difference between the two was too obvious now. Lin Tao did not have much authority to speak.

Song Chenglie and the other mentors did not have any intention of persuading him. For these Newbie Students, it might be a good thing to cut them down to size.

Lin Tao clenched both his fists. With a gloomy face, he still forcefully suppressed the resentment in his heart.

"Humph!" He Qingyuan sneered, turned around and said, "The three people who were chosen earlier, please follow me."

The surrounding people were jealous and envious, as they watched Chu Hen and the other two students follow He Qingyuan elsewhere.

Song Chenglie shook his head and laughed, and then he said in a clear voice, "Everyone, you can start choosing your main mentor now. I’d like to remind you that it might not be best for you to choose a powerful mentor, but you must choose the one that's most suitable for you."

"Yes sir!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to discuss with other mentors before making choices.

Of course, many people directly chose mentor Wu Ying as their mentor. As another mentor who had been famous for a long time in Heavenly Star Martial Mansion, even if Wu Ying was not here today, everyone would still be willing to wait.

On the other side of the plaza.

"Please introduce yourself first." For the first time, a faint smile appeared on He Qingyuan's face.

"Li, Li Huiye, Rank Seven of Vein Opening Stage." The delicate and shy youth was the first one to speak.

"Zhou Lu, Rank Eight of Vein Opening Stage." The lady in red looked rather delicate on the outside, but her voice was not slurred at all.

"Chu Hen, Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage!"

"Hmm?"

Just as Chu Hen finished speaking, they looked at him in surprise.

Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage?

He Qingyuan was also surprised, and he did not expect the Newbie Student in front of him to be so low-key.

"Hur, hur, not bad." He Qingyuan nodded, and continued to speak, "From today onwards, you are all direct students of Mentor Xi Lan. Mentor Xi Lan will personally guide you in your cultivation for three or four times every month. As for the rest of the time, you can practice on your own or go listen to other mentors."

They nodded.

"What are your weapons?" He Qingyuan suddenly asked.

"I use a sword!" Li Huiye replied.

"I use a whip." Zhou Lu replied.

Chu Hen was stunned for a moment, and then truthfully said, "I don't have a weapon yet."

No weapon?

He Qingyuan frowned slightly, "You must have a weapon. If you were to fight with an enemy of the same level, you would suffer a great loss without a weapon. You have to find a suitable weapon for yourself first, and then report to Mentor Xi Lan."

Chu Hen nodded slightly and felt that what he said was reasonable.

Of course, since Chu Hen had arrived at the Imperial Capital City, he had not been busy, and simply did not have time to choose a suitable weapon.

Then, He Qingyuan gave a few simple instructions and left first.

"Senior Brother Chu Hen, Senior Sister Zhou Lu, I look forward to cultivating with you in the future," Li Huiye said.

"Sure." Zhou Lu gave a shallow smile and replied with interest, "However, Junior Brother Huiye, why is your personality like a girl's? Your speech is soft and gentle."

"I, I didn't!"

Seeing his distressed look, Zhou Lu covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Chu Hen smiled, "I will take my leave first. See you later!"

"Okay, Senior Brother Chu Hen, see you later." Li Huiye replied.

Watching Chu Hen leaving, Zhou Lu asked with some doubt, "Do you think he really has the strength of Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage? It was not a bluff, wasn’t it?"

"He shouldn't be lying. It you were him, would you lie to Senior Brother Qingyuan?"

"Alright! But he was probably improved by using Pills."

"Senior Brother Chu Hen did not provoke you. Why are you so mean?"

"Bah, I am kidding!"

When Chu Hen returned to the area in front of the plaza, Mu Feng had been already waiting for him at the same place.

"I am speechless. The place that originally belonged to me was snatched by you." Mu Feng tilted his head as he looked at Chu Hen, and then grinned, "Hey, hey, but it doesn't matter. I can still become the student of Mentor Wu Ying to pick up one of the Six Great Pearls, Bai Yuyue."

"Good luck to you." Chu Hen replied lazily, and then left the Seven Stars Plaza in the direction he came from.

The selection of the main mentor was over, and there was no need for him to stay here.

Mu Feng complacently raised his eyebrow, and then casually waved his hand. A white playing piece flew out from his hand.

Mu Feng had the playing piece in his hand the entire time. Only now did he remember to throw it away.

"Ta!"

The playing piece fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

Chu Hen's heart was startled. He saw that every single piece of the playing chess was actually in the same size.

"What is it?" Seeing Chu Hen's blank look, Mu Feng casually asked.

Chu Hen's eyes became serious. Before he could say anything, a few people looking unfriendly suddenly was standing in front of them, or rather, in front of Chu Hen.

"Junior Brother, there's something we want to discuss with you!"
