Chapter 13: Seed Student
After Qin Yefeng effortlessly lifted the massive ten-thousand-jin cauldron, he walked directly to the thirty-thousand-jin cauldron.

Hah!

Letting out a slight breath, Qin Yefeng bent his knees slightly and planted his feet firmly, freeing up one hand as he prepared to lift the massive thirty-thousand-jin cauldron.

The young men and women on the Martial Arena were utterly stunned.

They had never imagined such a sight; the scene before them was simply too unbelievable. They hadn’t just never seen it, they hadn’t even heard tales of such a feat.

The white-haired elder looked down at Qin Yefeng’s next move. He believed this youth possessed King-level exceptional talent, and thus wouldn’t overreach himself by forcefully attempting to lift something beyond his capabilities. He decided to wait and see.

“Could it be… is this boy trying to lift two cauldrons at once? Qin Yefeng must be playing a trick, trying to scare me. But judging by his demeanor, it doesn’t seem like he’s joking.” Liu Ying was clearly terrified.

Qin Xue gazed up with a malicious glare at Qin Yefeng on the Battle Stage, hoping he wouldn’t be able to lift both cauldrons and would instead be crushed to death by them. Only then would her heart feel at ease.

Because that way, she wouldn’t have to personally deal with this hidden danger, avoiding any trouble for herself!

Looking down from ten thousand meters above, on the vast Battle Stage, a tiny figure was actually attempting to lift a massive heavy cauldron a hundred times larger than his own body!

“Lift!” Qin Yefeng let out a fierce shout, and with it, he lifted the thirty-thousand-jin cauldron.

At this moment, Qin Yefeng held a cauldron in each of his small hands, with the massive thirty-thousand-jin cauldron in his right hand.

Carrying the two massive heavy cauldrons, Qin Yefeng turned in a full circle on the Martial Arena.

The bluestone slabs beneath Qin Yefeng’s feet completely shattered, like a spiderweb, layer upon layer, cracking inch by inch.

Before the Purple Gold Hall, the crowd beneath the large Martial Arena was engulfed in a deathly silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Even the test administrators were completely dumbfounded. This was a feat never before witnessed since the Holy Sun Sect established the Holy Sun Academy; it had actually happened, and successfully at that!

Qin Xue was utterly astonished, her eyes fixed intently on the Martial Arena. She whispered with extreme vigilance, “This Qin Yefeng not only has heaven-defying martial talent, but his physical strength is equally formidable. He cannot be allowed to grow. I must cripple him before he enters the Holy Sun Academy!”

“During the Combat Trial, I’ll pretend to lose control and directly cripple Qin Yefeng’s cultivation. I absolutely cannot let him reach the Xiantian Realm, or else I’ll be nothing more than a piece of meat on his chopping block, at his mercy.”

This was absolutely not the outcome Qin Xue desired, so she had already decided to employ a malicious scheme.

Hearing this, Liu Ying also whispered in agreement, “Yes, Junior Sister. Although this Qin Yefeng was once a complete waste, now his talent and physical strength are so formidable. Among all martial artists, if he truly grows, then the two of us will indeed be no match for him. We must nip him in the bud!”

Meanwhile, the crowd in the Martial Arena also recovered from their shock and began to shout and roar.

“Qin Yefeng! Qin Yefeng!”

As waves of commotion swept through the Martial Arena, all the instructors in charge of the tests could no longer remain calm.

Especially the guiding white-haired elder; his old face was practically blooming into a golden chrysanthemum with a smile.

Everyone present, perhaps, didn’t understand what King-level martial artist talent combined with top-tier physical strength represented.

But he knew that exceptional talent coupled with formidable physical strength indicated that this youth was a true genius.

His future achievements were boundless. For this youth to easily reach the Purple Mansion Realm would mean he could effortlessly enter the Holy Sun Sect.

After setting down the two cauldrons, Qin Yefeng let out a soft breath.

He then glanced at his competitors in the Martial Arena and clenched his fists tightly.

“In the final Combat Trial, I must defeat them, and win quickly and decisively, to secure a spot as a Holy Sun Academy Seed Candidate. Only then can I enter the Holy Sun Sect, find those who framed my father, and uncover information about my mother’s imprisonment.”

Holy Sun Academy, East Courtyard Martial Arena.

A large, ten-zhang square Martial Arena. The area beneath the Battle Stage was already packed with people, and a small area was cleared in the center of the grounds.

Within this area, nearly a thousand participants stood in neat formations; these were the young men and women taking the Holy Sun Academy entrance examination.

These young men and women were all eagerly rubbing their fists and exceptionally excited, each preparing to showcase their prowess and defeat their opponents on the combat stage to compete for a spot in the Holy Sun Academy.

“Actual combat in the Holy Sun Academy allows the use of weapons. Furthermore, a hundred people vie for the top ten spots, and only the top ten will become students of the Holy Sun Academy. Only the first-place winner can become a Seed Candidate.”

“That’s right, one must also successfully defend the arena for a round, and the challenger must be someone from within the Holy Sun Academy itself. While this is said to prevent cheating, anyone from the Holy Sun Academy would possess at least Mid-grade Martial Arts Techniques, and possibly even High-grade Martial Arts Techniques. It’s truly difficult!”

“Exactly! Look, the competition is about to begin. Senior officials from the Holy Sun Academy have already started taking their seats on the main platform. This proves that the competition is about to begin!”

“I wonder how many people I can defeat, and what rank I can achieve. I just hope I can make it into the top ten. First place is beyond my wildest dreams.”

The young men and women below the stage began to chatter amongst themselves, and the grounds became a hubbub of noise.

Within the Holy Sun Academy today, a state of extreme fervor had taken hold. Within the immensely vast academy, the clamor of voices soared to the heavens.

These waves of noise converged and then spread far and wide, audible within a radius of a thousand li.
