Chapter 0202: Pass Permit

Ghost Du saw Qin Yun's eager expression and laughed. "Don't be so eager to go out. Let us teachers scout the situation first. You young ones should find your teams and familiarize yourselves with various tactics. It will be beneficial when you venture out."

"Alright, I’ll go find my teammates now!"

Qin Yun suddenly felt regretful because Xie Wufeng and the others had just left. If they were all here, they could form a powerful team.

"Sis Feiling is also very strong; I’ll go find her first."

After leaving the Treasure Forest, he hurried towards the central area of the Star Profound Martial Academy. Many students had already gathered here, forming small teams, all in groups of three to five.

Meng Feiling had previously given Qin Yun her contact information, telling him that she lived in an inn named "Star Rain Pavilion" on the central street of the martial courtyard. The inn was dozens of floors high, decorated luxuriously both inside and out.

Qin Yun arrived at a room on a floor in the thirties and gently knocked on the door. "Sis Feiling, it's me, Qin Yun!"

Soon, someone opened the door.

"Little Yun, you've finally come to find me!" Meng Feiling, wearing a loose purple robe, smiled seductively and quickly pulled Qin Yun inside.

Once inside, Qin Yun saw that it was a relatively small room, suitable for one person, very neat and tidy, with everything placed appropriately, looking delicate and elegant.

"Sis Feiling, you're living in such a small place!" Qin Yun sat on a soft bed, looked around, and smiled.

Meng Feiling sighed lightly. "How can I compare to you living in the Star Yang Treasure Tree? We poor students have to pay for our own food and lodging. Moreover, with the beast tide approaching, the academy has been consuming more crystal coins to maintain the barrier, and our future tuition will be even more expensive."

As she spoke, she removed her loose purple robe, revealing her fair and supple body, with only a few pieces of cloth covering the essential parts.

"Do you like how it looks?" Meng Feiling saw Qin Yun's red face and giggled coquettishly.

"Sis Feiling, you’re being too casual!" Qin Yun said awkwardly, forcing a grin, and then looked away.

Meng Feiling walked up to him, slowly put on a light green armored outfit from the bed, and laughed charmingly. "I'm only casual in front of you because I know you wouldn't dare do anything to me!"

After dressing in the armor, she tied her hair and put on a pair of hard leather boots, making her look dashing and somewhat rugged.

"Sis Feiling, your Meng family is also very mysterious, seemingly concealing great strength," Qin Yun said curiously. Meng Feiling had only been in the Star Profound Martial Academy for a short time before breaking through to the seventh level of the Martial Body stage, which surely had the support of the Meng family behind it.

Moreover, the Meng family's King of Suppressing Demons knew people who could refine Soul Shaker Powder!

"I'm not boasting, but our Meng family is older than your Qin family. We just don't compete for power, so we keep a low profile!" Meng Feiling shook the storage bracelet on her wrist and laughed charmingly. "But you're still more impressive, letting me get a storage bracelet so easily! To repay you, I’ve promised to be yours!"

Qin Yun said, "Well... Sis Feiling, your Meng family should have a lot of experience dealing with Demon Beasts and Monstrous Beasts, right? I need a large number of Mystic Points, so I need your help to form a team with me to go out and hunt Monstrous Beasts. How about it?"

Meng Feiling looked at the mirror, touched her charming face, and smiled. "I knew you were looking for me for this reason! Come on, let's go meet the other teammates. They're all seventh-level Martial Body warriors, veterans of many battles, and their strength is decent. Among them is a couple in their thirties; just call them Brother Li and Sister Li. They're from the Meng family's collateral lineage."

Meng Feiling opened the door and led Qin Yun out of the inn, walking down the street towards the western part of the central area, where there was a large square.

The outside of the square was filled with students, but no one could enter. It was reserved for assessments.

On the way, Meng Feiling said to Qin Yun, "I've already found the other three teammates. The couple in their thirties, whom you can call Brother Li and Sister Li, are about to reach the eighth level of the Martial Body stage. They've been here for a long time and are veteran warriors. The other teammate is a young man in his twenties named Yu Zhen. He's the son of a friend of Brother Li and Sister Li. I'm not sure what he's like since I haven't met him."

Qin Yun nodded, now having some understanding of his teammates. Brother Li and Sister Li were trustworthy, being part of the Meng family's collateral lineage.

When they reached the outer part of the square, Meng Feiling quickly found Brother Li and Sister Li. They were dressed in grey light armored battle outfits, with ordinary appearances and a simple, friendly demeanor as they greeted Qin Yun.

As members of the Meng family, Qin Yun, the young lord, was seen as someone of high status in their eyes.

"Brother Li, Sister Li, what’s Yu Zhen’s story? How powerful is he?" Meng Feiling asked.

"We don’t know yet. We’ll see when we meet him," said Brother Li, who had a square face and looked very honest.

"There he is!" Sister Li pointed to a tree outside the plaza, where a young man dressed flamboyantly and luxuriously was standing.

This young man was Yu Zhen. He had a slim and quite handsome face, holding a long sword, with a look of arrogance in his eyes. He was looking around, and even after seeing Meng Feiling and the others, he didn’t approach them.

"Let's go over! He seems to dislike being in crowded places!" said Brother Li, and then he walked over.

Meng Feiling hummed lightly and followed as well.

"This junior, Yu Zhen, greets Brother Li and Sister Li... and you must be Miss Meng from the King of Suppressing Demons' estate!" While Yu Zhen appeared polite, his courteous greeting felt stiff.

Brother Li and the others nodded.

Yu Zhen looked at Qin Yun, this young boy, and frowned. "Why is there a kid in our team? Who is he?"

Qin Yun was dressed in a rough white beast pelt, which looked cheap, but was actually very expensive due to the engraved light patterns inside.

"This is Qin Yun!"

Yu Zhen was stunned. He had never met Qin Yun before but had heard of him. It was rare to find someone who hadn't heard of Qin Yun here.

There were both positive and negative rumors about Qin Yun, with the negative ones often being slander. If one harbored prejudice and jealousy towards a person, they would naturally believe the negative rumors.

Yu Zhen was exactly like that. He frowned and asked, "Is it okay to bring him along? Although his strength is good, we're dealing with Demon Beasts. We need stable performance, and he uses some unorthodox methods. I'm worried he'll hold us back."

"What kind of talk is that? My little brother Qin Yun has defeated two Martial Body eighth-level warriors, Qi Yu and Qin Zhengfeng. If he can't handle Demon Beasts, you'd only be courting death facing them," Meng Feiling said coldly, clearly unhappy.

Yu Zhen looked at Qin Yun disdainfully and snorted. "It was only because Qi Yu and Qin Zhengfeng weren't on guard against his tricks that he succeeded. That won't work against powerful Demon Beasts!"

Sister Li stepped in to mediate. "Let's wait until we all pass the assessment and get the permit! During the assessment, various aspects of strength are tested. If he can get the permit, then it's settled."

Yu Zhen looked at the center of the assessment plaza and smiled. "True, but there's also a chance he won't pass the assessment! Isn't he back to being a prince because his father suddenly appeared?"

Qin Yun guessed that Yu Zhen had good relationships with people like Qi Yu and others before, which was why he had such prejudice against him.

If not for Brother Li and Sister Li, Meng Feiling would have lost her temper. She had also decided that after the assessment, no matter what, she would make Yu Zhen leave the team.

Qin Yun didn’t say anything, as he knew nothing about Demon Beasts, and the outside environment was very harsh. Having more people on expeditions wasn’t a bad idea.

Once he got used to the outside environment, it would be much easier for him to venture out alone.

Qin Yun and Meng Feiling's group began to line up, preparing for the assessment.

The assessment process was brief but not simple! The first test was speed, requiring 100 meters per second. This was followed by an evasion test, where one had to dodge 100 stones thrown by a teacher. During the evasion, one couldn’t touch the stones.

In addition, there was a strength test, where one had to strike a 10-meter-tall bell with a punch.

Many students were at the seventh level of the Martial Body stage, but some failed the first round of the assessment.

Qin Yun relaxed, knowing the assessment wouldn’t be easy for him either. Not long ago, his speed was only 70 to 80 meters per second.

Fortunately, he had practiced his lightness kung fu repeatedly in the past few days.

"I should be able to pass the first round! The second and third rounds shouldn’t be a problem! The key is the first round!" Qin Yun thought to himself.

Putting speed first in the assessment highlighted the importance of escape speed when facing powerful Demon Beasts. Even if you couldn’t defeat them, you could still escape.

Soon, it was Brother Li’s turn. He passed the speed test by running 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

In the second round, he also managed to dodge the thrown stones with ease. For the third round of the assessment, he looked relaxed and punched the large bell, making it ring loudly.

He breezed through all three rounds, and among the seventh-level Martial Body students, he stood out as exceptionally outstanding. Only eighth-level Martial Body students could match his ease.

Qin Yun observed Brother Li’s strength and was secretly impressed.

Next came Sister Li. Like Brother Li, she excelled, passing the assessment with ease and securing her pass.

Qin Yun only witnessed their performance during the assessment, but their full strength remained hidden.

Up next was Meng Feiling!

Her greatest skill was her lightness skill, so the first round posed no challenge for her!

"Meng the Demon Girl is impressive. Even as a new seventh-level Martial Body student, her speed surpasses that of some eighth-level seniors!"

"With her speed, the dodging test is no issue for her."

"I suppose the only challenge for her might be the final test!"

As people chatted, someone noticed Qin Yun lining up and whispered, "Isn’t that Qin Yun? He’s lining up behind the Demon Girl. Could it be that he’ll be on the same team as her?"
