"How could this happen? With your strength, brother, how could you be eliminated!"

Hearing that Chu Ming failed the alchemy test, Qin Zhan and others were all shocked and in disbelief. Others didn't know it, but they knew that Chu Ming's alchemy attainments were definitely not inferior to Xiao Yu'er's, so how could he not pass it?

"Did something happen?"

Meng Wushuang asked in a condensed voice.

"No, I just didn't perform well!" Chu Ming didn't tell the truth. They all wanted to enter Donghua College. Knowing that they were being targeted by Elder Wu was just adding to the trouble.

"Brother, you can take the martial arts test the day after tomorrow!"

"No, the list has been handed in. If we make a temporary substitution, we will both be eliminated!"

"Brother——"

"Listen to me on this matter!" Chu Ming waved his hand to interrupt Qin Zhan, and then said: "Master has told me to do something important. After the martial arts test is over, I have to leave temporarily. Don't worry.

When I finish my work, I will go to Donghua City to find you."

"I'll go with you!" Meng Wushuang suddenly said firmly.

"That's right, brother, if you don't go to the academy, I won't go either!"

"Then...then I won't go either..." Xiao Yu'er said with her big eyes blinking. She still wanted to go to Donghua College to experience things, but her good friends didn't go.

How could she be so unloyal?

"Wherever you go! Go to the academy!" Chu Ming became rarely serious and said sternly: "There are many obstacles in the journey of cultivation. Entering Donghua Academy is the best shortcut for you! How can you act on your own initiative?"

"But big brother——"

"Chu Ming is right!" Ning Luoxi suddenly came over and sighed softly: "Although you guys have good strength and talent, you are still far behind Chu Ming. Do you hope that the gap will become wider in the future?

Bigger?"

This sentence undoubtedly struck a vital chord for the three of them.

After being silent for a long time, Meng Wushuang slowly raised his head, stared at Chu Ming with bright eyes, bit his lip and said: "I will wait for you in Donghua City...always waiting!"

.......

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, Chu Ming took out the alchemy furnace and handed it to the girl sitting opposite.

Lu Wan did not take it in a hurry, but took a deep look at the man opposite, and said slowly: "Although you can't enter Donghua College, you still need to use the alchemy furnace, so why bother to return it to me?"

"You know it so soon?"

"I'm afraid you'll run away with my stove!" Lu Wan smiled faintly, and then said: "Wu Qi is one of the elders of the Alchemy School of Donghua College, and he is also a close friend of Shangguan Hao's grandfather."

Chu Ming suddenly understood!

"Is he the one who cured Shangguan Hao and Ling Qian'er's injuries?"

"That's right -" Lu Wan nodded and said with a smile: "You probably won't be able to get into Donghua College. Are you interested in finding another way out?"

"You want me to join Tianxiang Tower?"

This time it was Lu Wan who was surprised.

"You performed as a musician in Lingyun Town that day, so you should have something to do with Tianxiang Tower. I'm just guessing."

"You guessed it right!" The girl admitted openly and continued: "The cultivation resources of our Tianxiang Tower are no worse than those of Donghua Academy. If you are willing to join, you can go to Donghua City with me!"

Chu Ming shook his head, and slowly explained under the girl's puzzled eyes: "I will definitely go to Donghua City. There is no need to join Tianxiang Tower. I don't like to be restricted by others, let alone before going to Donghua City.

There are still things to do."

You can leave at any time after entering the academy, but once you enter Tianxiang Building, you will inevitably be bound by the strict rules of the building. This is not what Chu Zhen wants.

The girl didn't seem to be forcing it. She stood up and said calmly: "In that case, forget it. You should keep this stove and pay it back to me when you come to Donghua City in the future!"

Lu Wan values ​​Chu Ming's potential and believes that there will be opportunities to deal with him again in the future. Helping him when he needs it is always better than adding icing on the cake.

...

The martial arts exam came as scheduled, and the rules were very simple. The disciples selected by each sect and sect were divided into different age groups to compete, and the best ones were selected.

Meng Wushuang and Wei Xuan, the three people from the Lingtian Sect who participated in the martial arts examination, easily defeated their opponents and were shortlisted. Only Qin Zhan encountered a little trouble during the battle, but in the end he narrowly won with his exquisite Setting Sun Sword Technique and rich combat experience.

The end of the martial arts exam means that it's time for everyone to part ways. Ning Luoxi has returned to the sect first, and Chu Ming suggested that everyone get together in the evening.

In Tianxiang Tower, except for Wei Xuan, no one else at the table showed much excitement.

"Don't be like this, everyone. Although Junior Brother Chu failed to enter Donghua College, we will definitely have the opportunity to get together again in the future, don't you think so?"

Wei Xuan knew that it would be difficult for him to fit in with a few people, and he didn't want to fit in either.

Unlike Lu Qing, Wei Xuan was more tolerant. He believed that Chu Ming came out and took away the light that belonged to him. Although he remained calm on the surface, he felt happy when he learned that the other party had lost the election. What he was thinking about now

I think I can only go to Donghua College as soon as possible, work hard to improve my cultivation, and let Meng Wushuang know who is the real man worth trusting!

"Eh? Isn't this Junior Brother Chu? Why are you so depressed?"

The atmosphere was already not good, and a strange voice made a few people annoyed.

The one who spoke was Ling Qian'er, and with her came a group of boys and girls, all freshmen who had successfully passed the martial arts exam.

"Junior Sister Qian'er, he is also from your Lingyun Sect? Why haven't you seen him before?"

"He is just a lost dog that our Lingyun Sect expelled!"

Xiao Yu'er immediately became angry when he heard this. He was about to get angry but was stopped by Meng Wushuang.

Meng Wushuang slowly raised his head, looked at the woman who was slightly arrogant, and said coldly: "Is the scar healed and the pain forgotten? Believe it or not, I will cripple your arm again?"

"you--"

Being exposed in public was the biggest shame, and Ling Qianer's face turned red with anger.

"Okay, from now on we are all alumni, why bother getting upset over a trivial matter!" A young man in white robe smiled slightly, walked up to Meng Wushuang and cupped his hands: "Junior Sister Meng, my name is Gong Fan. In the afternoon

Seen it before!"

Gong Fan is an old student of Donghua College. This time he came to help with the recruitment. He had also seen Qin Zhan and Wei Xuan at the same table, but he only said hello to Meng Wushuang. His thoughts were obvious.

Meng Wushuang just nodded perfunctorily and gave Chu Ming a chopstick to eat. Her appearance was no different from that of a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

"Who is this?"

"Senior Brother Gong, he is also from the Lingtian Sect. I heard that he participated in the elixir test, but was eliminated! Before, he couldn't even get thirty middle-grade spiritual stones in the trading market, and I don't know where he got the courage to take the elixir test.

Test!"

Xiang Fang, who had been taught a lesson by Meng Wushuang, was also there and stepped forward to ridicule.

"It turns out it's Brother Chu. Alchemy also needs the support of martial arts. Brother Chu is still young. He will take the exam next time!"

Gong Fan looked comforting on the surface, but the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Hmph! If my eldest brother hadn't given me the opportunity to take the martial arts exam, where would you be here to make irresponsible remarks! You guys together are not enough for my eldest brother to slap you!"

Chu Ming failed to enter the academy, and Qin Zhan felt the most guilty and resentful. When he saw a group of people looking down on others, he couldn't help it.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xiang Fang couldn't help but throw his head up and laugh when he heard this, and everyone else also had mocking looks on their faces.

"Junior brother, it's not a shame to fail the exam, so why do you have to say such big words to protect your fellow disciples?" Gong Fan shook his head and smiled.
