Ling Yuanqing gave a light cough that drew everyone's attention, and then spoke out in a clear voice: "Disciples all, the Trial of the Overlord's Road is about to begin. To be able to take part in this trial means that every one of you is already among Morning Star Academy's finest disciples. But that is still far from enough! Are you all smug and self-satisfied, thinking yourselves first-rate among the academy's disciples? Then let me tell you now—you are not even worth a fart!"
Every face changed at once, anger plainly written on them. Even if the man was Principal Ling Yuanqing, those words were simply too insulting!
By convention, the limit of a Yellow-Rank academy disciple's strength was Nascent Soul Great Perfection. Generally, anyone who surpassed that level would not remain, unless they were an exception like Leng Rufeng. So everyone present was indeed the strongest disciple of Morning Star Academy, and there was nothing wrong with that statement.
Only, to truly believe it would be somewhat complacent—like a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Hmph, no need to feel wronged. The Eastern Continent is not like those other Cloud-Rank islands. Here is the domain of Overlord-realm experts, and Mystic Ascension is the bare minimum to start! Only by stepping into Mystic Ascension will you be qualified to touch the barrier of the Overlord realm. Otherwise, as I said—you are not even worth a fart!" Ling Yuanqing said, looking over the crowd.
At that, everyone fell silent. The originally rather relaxed atmosphere turned tense and fervent in an instant because of those few short sentences from Ling Yuanqing, as though a great battle were about to descend.
"Very good, this is the bearing befitting disciples of Morning Star Academy! Go now, and strive well. This year, aim to produce several more Mystic Ascension disciples, and when the time comes, I shall personally escort you to the Mystic-Rank sea region!" Ling Yuanqing encouraged.
"Yes!" the crowd answered in a thunderous roar.
The oath-taking was very brief. After rousing everyone's morale, Ling Yuanqing wasted no more words and directly ordered them all to board the ship and set out.
The final destination this time was the Thunder Domain Sea within the Eastern Continent's Yellow-Rank sea region, where there stood an independent island called Thunder Plain Island—and that was the legendary Overlord's Road!
To reach Thunder Plain Island, one had to travel together aboard the academy's treasure ship. Although Wei Zhao was not a disciple of Morning Star Academy, his status was special—even Ling Yuanqing and the other Overlords treated him with particular care—so securing a place among them was naturally no problem.
After three days and three nights, the treasure ship finally arrived at its destination. By then, a good number of warships and treasure ships were already moored at the dock of Thunder Plain Island, each flying the emblem of a different Yellow-Rank academy of the Eastern Continent.
Wei Zhao looked carefully and soon spotted the treasure ships of Morning Splendor Academy and Soaring Cloud Academy. He felt an inexplicable surge of excitement—Ning Xuefei would not be there, but this time there was a very good chance of reuniting with Huo Yudie, for she too was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert!
Several months had passed in a flash. Wei Zhao very much looked forward to this reunion—unexpected, yet entirely reasonable. Heroes had ever faltered at the pass of beauties, and a girl like Huo Yudie truly set the heart pounding. Even Wei Zhao, for all the beauties around him, was no exception.
The treasure ship slowly drew in to shore. Wei Zhao at once could hardly wait to disembark and go look for someone, but he was stopped by the libation officer of Morning Star Academy—a white-haired old man with the complexion of a child, the senior leader in charge of the academy's disciples on this trip.
