Mu Jinyu heard the old man's words, thought for a moment, and felt it was indeed reasonable.

However, this did not suit him anymore.

After all, when he first came to the Canglan Realm, he was severely injured, and his cultivation was almost completely lost.

At that time, with the situation being what it was, he only had a copy of the "Blood Tempering Chapter." If he hadn't chosen to sever the Exotic Blood and first cultivate, he probably couldn't have made it to Dongyue Mansion.

Then how would he have found the subsequent "Bone Tempering Section" and other sections of the "Humanity Path Sutra"?

Ji Wudao was different. When he defected from the Ji Clan, he still had Life and Death Realm cultivation and held a complete copy of the "Humanity Path Sutra" cultivation method.

Therefore, he could leisurely research and finally select a path that did not harm him and gradually erase the Exotic Blood within him.

Facts proved, he indeed did not go wrong by doing so.

One can only say that their fortunes were different.

Of course, Mu Jinyu's once-off severing of the Exotic Blood also left no aftereffects.

After all, his innately carried Foreign Race Bloodline was minimal.

After chatting with the old man for a while.

Mu Jinyu finally bid farewell and left.

Ji Wudao watched him leave the Human Race Secret Manuals area, his figure twitched, and he disappeared again within it.

...

A moment later.

Mu Jinyu returned to Courtyard No. 96 again.

After saying a few simple words to Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huannian.

Mu Jinyu returned to his room and began to cultivate calmly.

He wanted to enter again into that Inner Scenic Area space of empty times to cultivate.

To step from the Fifth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm into the Sixth Layer.

But unfortunately, two consecutive days passed.

He still couldn't successfully enter that Inner Scenic Area space.

Evidently, the problem Ji Wudao mentioned was quite severe indeed.

Even they couldn't re-enter in a short time.

If it were ordinary people, or those with slightly poorer aptitude, they might find it hard to enter the Inner Scenic Area a few times in their lifetime.

"Sigh..."

Mu Jinyu sighed deeply, opened his eyes, stood up from the meditation cushion, and frowned, saying, "It seems without an opportunity, it is hard to enter the Inner Scenic Area again; when I have time, I should wander outside..."

"Today is the day of the promotion selections, let's go and have a look..."

Mu Jinyu got up and walked out of the room.

Although he obtained a more suitable Marrow Nourishment Chapter from Ji Wudao, making Mu Jinyu no longer urgently want to be promoted to a senior student and seek help from the Mansion Master and others to break through his cultivation in the Advanced Gravity Training Room.

But since there are a lot of academic credit rewards for becoming a senior student, Mu Jinyu wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Moreover, with his method of cultivating the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, though it would harm his body and affect it.

As long as he re-enters the Inner Scenic Area to cultivate, these injuries can still recover.

So he doesn't need to fear anything.

Relying on entering the Inner Scenic Area to break through cultivation is a bit slow; if there's a chance, he still needs to enter the Advanced Gravity Training Room to break through one layer of cultivation.

"Creak!"

Mu Jinyu opened the door and saw that outside his courtyard, Chu Huannian and others were waiting.

"Brother Jinyu, you haven't come out for two days; we thought something had happened to you!"

Seeing Mu Jinyu come out, Ji Xiaoyun's worry between her brows slowly dissipated, and she smiled while saying.

"Hmm, today is the academy's promotion selection day, Brother Jinyu, even if you don't want to become a senior student, we can still go and watch and cheer for my sister..."

Chu Huaxiu also invited.

"Hmm, I know, I've been in seclusion these two days to see if I could break through on the spot, but I failed; let's go now..." Mu Jinyu explained.

Then, the four of them walked out of Courtyard No. 96 and went to the largest Martial Arts Arena within Dongyue Mansion.

The selection for beginner students advancing to intermediate students, and intermediate students advancing to senior students, will be held here today.

Unlike the battle in which Mu Jinyu and others contended for the last spot to enter the Tiangan Secret Realm, where outsiders were not allowed to watch.

Today's event allows all students to come and watch.

Even maidens like Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu can go and have a look.

Quickly, the four of them arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

The Martial Arts Arena was already a sea of people, with thousands gathered.

The senior students of Dongyue Mansion were only about a hundred people.

The intermediate students were about five hundred people.

As for the beginner students, there were too many, at least over two thousand.

It was a celebration, almost all students of Dongyue Mansion would come to watch.

Unless there was an emergency that had to be dealt with, thus missing it.

Like Xuu Changqing.

Otherwise, all students of Dongyue Mansion would usually pause other things during this time and quietly prepare for this promotion selection meeting.

"So many people..."

"When will it start?"

"So looking forward to it..."

Ji Xiaoyun, seeing many students rarely seen on ordinary days, brightened her eyes and excitedly chattered.

"Dong dong dong..."

Time passed slowly.

They waited for an hour.

Finally, a series of clear bell chimes rang.

Then, the various tutors of Dongyue Mansion, several Institute Heads, the Mansion Master, and Vice Manor Master all appeared in the sky above the Martial Arts Arena.

"Alright, the time is about right, this event is ready to start." The Vice Manor Master Wang Yeqing appeared, gazing at the whole scene, and slowly said, "The conditions for promotion are simple, strength is everything!"

"This promotion selection will recruit a total of a hundred intermediate students."

"And thirty senior students will be recruited!"

"Alright, now, let's start with the intermediate student promotion selection."

Wang Yeqing finished speaking and suddenly waved his hand.

Immediately, the void trembled.

Then pieces of peculiar stone blocks, each about an acre large, appeared loudly in the sky above the Martial Arts Arena.

There were a total of ten. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Now, beginner students who wish to participate in the promotion selection, please come on stage."

"Each combat platform can stand over a hundred people, and those who remain on each platform will be promoted to intermediate students!"

"Alright, begin!"

As Wang Yeqing's voice fell.

Suddenly, countless beginner students in the Martial Arts Arena flew towards the floating combat platforms in the sky!

Of course, not all beginner students were prepared to participate.

Those like Lan Yi, who became beginner students with Mu Jinyu, had self-awareness and did not go on stage.

Only a handful of powerful people chose to go on stage.

Chu Huannian turned to Mu Jinyu and the others and said softly, "I'll go on stage first."

"Hmm, good luck!" Mu Jinyu waved his fist at her, encouraging her.

"Sister, good luck."

Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu also spoke with enthusiasm and excitement to encourage.

"Hmm."

Chu Huaxiu lightly responded, her graceful figure leaped and soon landed on the first combat platform.

Basically, the best among beginner students aspiring to be intermediate students all came here.

Chu Huannian was naturally no exception, aiming to be the first!
