Chapter 221: Playing to One’s Advantage
Sun Sheng was the top disciple of Tianye Immortal Institute, which was near Brilliance Palace, one of the five best. Tianye Immortal Institute was among the top institutes, just beneath Leyan and Lijing.
As it was close to Brilliance Palace, it was only natural for it to teach its optical mental arts, including the optic-derived Radiant Cosmos Stabilization, the comparative path. Sun Sheng relied on Heavenly Spirit Range’s Evolution Chart to distinguish himself for Harmony Coalition in such a biased Immortal Institute, which was quite commendable. One could say he had every right to contend for the best in this martial examination.
The former admission trials were similar. Leyan and Lijing took the top; Tianye came second, followed by Argent Apex and Langde. Jiongli and the others had next to no chance at a five best true disciple spot.
Though this year might be the exception.
The two blackest horses this trial had ever seen, Ai Changyuan from the Western Sea and Wang Qi from the central area, shone so brightly they overshadowed the other talents.
If the stuff with the banished immortal hadn’t happened, it might have gone as far as being an unprecedented trial.
That aside, Sun Sheng was fighting his match with someone Wang Qi was quite familiar with, Langde Immortal Institute’s Qiu Yunlong.
Six months had passed, and Qiu Yunlong’s Nimbus Eclipse got more exquisite, the clouds drifting around him as if alive. As it rubbed with the air, it let out sharp metalic sounds, and Qiu Yunlong lunged for Sun Sheng.
Sun Sheng just kept strengthening his shield, for some odd reason, opting to take the hit.
