Chapter 353 Isolating Me, Secretly Advancing Behind My Back
It’s over.
It will cost a lot of money...
Looking at the devastated central square, Jiang He was filled with thoughts of the money she had just earned about to slip away.
Jiang He's expression was solemn. Shangguan Linghu, unaware of Jiang He's thoughts, only felt that Jiang He had become more composed after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
No wonder he's at the Nascent Soul stage.
Jiang He left the central square. An hour later, there would be an award ceremony, and she would return to the holographic capsule to participate in the closing ceremony.
Jiang He was planning to go find Long Aotian.
She remembered that Long Aotian had come out with her, and Bai Zhizhou and Li Ling were also in the crowd at the time, but she didn't know why they were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Jiang He was about to ponder, the dark clouds that had just dispersed gathered again.
Jiang He looked at the cloud-filled sky as if by reflex.
Not quite right.
This is clearly the storm brewing before the tribulation.
Jiang He gazed intently, her eyes landing on the back mountain of Wanjue Academy.
Ma Qian and Qi Xun each headed in a different direction.
Qi Xun had witnessed many Golden Core cultivators advance to the Nascent Soul stage, just like Jiang He's tribulation.
Can't go wrong.
Someone is advancing in rank, and judging from Yun's progress, he is also advancing from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.
Ma Qian was both happy and worried.
What delighted them was that several students from their Wanjue Academy had suddenly reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, and three cultivators were about to undergo tribulation in a single day—something they wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
Even at Lingqing Academy, Nascent Soul cultivators are not everywhere, nor are they plentiful.
The existence of the barrier between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages means that the number of cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage within the academy is destined to be scarce.
However, Ma Qian also had his worries.
There were too many cultivators undergoing tribulation today, and they only realized it after it had started. Ma Qian's personal terminal did not receive any emails from cultivators requesting help to undergo tribulation, which meant that Ma Qian did not know the location of the cultivators undergoing tribulation and could not make any preparations beforehand, such as evacuating the crowd or finding colleagues to set up formations.
When Ma Qian arrived at Long Aotian's side, he discovered that the heavenly lightning had already struck from the back mountain.
Besides Long Aotian, Bai Zhizhou is also undergoing tribulation in the arena.
Like Jiang He, both of them were at the peak of the late Golden Core stage.
Long Aotian learned that Jiang He was undergoing tribulation and stood outside the defensive barrier to observe the situation.
The moment Jiang He became a Nascent Soul cultivator, the gray clouds dissipated, and the sky became clear and bright. For some reason, as he looked around, Long Aotian discovered that his Golden Core had already shattered. He hurriedly went to the back mountain to prepare to face the heavenly lightning.
Bai Zhizhou had long ago reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and he could undergo the tribulation at any time without any issues.
He considered Jiang He's cultivation level and knew that if he didn't break through to the Nascent Soul stage soon, it would be difficult to continue traveling with Jiang He.
As soon as Long Aotian and Bai Zhizhou unleashed their heavenly lightning, the sky above was instantly covered by clouds and lightning.
Before the viewers of Wanjue Academy and the live stream could react, the vanished heavenly lightning reappeared.
Many people stared at the sky in disbelief; it seemed quite different from what they had imagined.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? This lightning struck our academy's grounds."
"Yes, that's incredible. Jiang He just advanced, and now someone else has advanced? Is it the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage this time? It's outrageous."
"Which two geniuses are undergoing tribulation lightning in the direction of the back mountain and the stadium?"
"Holy crap, 36 bolts of heavenly lightning! That's the tribulation for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Huh? Is this really true? In just this short time today, three cultivators from our academy have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. When did Wan Jue become so strong?"
"We, Wan Jue, have always been very strong, okay? We came in first place in this academy competition."
"I know that's how it is, but isn't this just too unreasonable? There are too many cultivators advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. This is the third wave already. When did the Nascent Soul stage become as common as cabbage?"
The live stream footage remained focused on the central square leading to the hall where the holographic capsules were stored, and the scenes of Long Aotian and Bai Zhizhou's advancement were not recorded.
Therefore, the viewers in the live stream had no idea that Long Aotian and Bai Zhizhou had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
The news of three cultivators from Wanjue Academy undergoing tribulation lightning spread from offline to online.
This surprised many netizens.
[Breaking news! Two more cultivators from Wanjue Academy successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage today!]
Huh? You're kidding, right? You really think reaching the Nascent Soul stage is so easy, like you can just advance like that?
I checked, and it's not fake, but I don't know which two people it is.
It seems like Wanjue Academy has been on a winning streak this year. Seriously, where did they recruit these students? Everyone says Wanjue Academy's student body isn't good, but this is amazing! Three Nascent Soul cultivators in one day, and they're even university students! They could participate in sect selections!
By the way, is the initial selection criterion for Lingyun Sect Nascent Soul stage?
Yes, it seems that the annual preliminary selection for Lingyun Sect has already started accepting applications. I heard that many college graduates are participating. I remember that many academies have relatively flexible graduation requirements, such as graduating by completing all professional courses and passing all professional course examinations, or by successfully passing the selection of a major sect.
I remember that not only Lingyun Sect, but also major sects like Hehuan Sect, Tianyin Sect, Yinyang Sect... all have recruitment selections this year, and they're even being broadcast live at the same time as the Academy Grand Competition. However, I haven't watched them yet.
For a major sect like Lingyun Sect, a single Nascent Soul cultivator isn't enough. They also require a record of entering five secret realms, passing chaotic battles, and other stringent requirements. It's extremely difficult to get in. Forget about a minor academy; it's basically hopeless.

Jiang He and Zhong Liyu were about to go find Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian separately when Li Ling arrived late:
"Sorry, I'm late."
Li Ling's short hair was slightly curled, and her eyes were filled with a bright smile.
Seeing the sudden change in Li Ling's aura, the Jiang family knew that he had also advanced to a higher level. They just didn't know about the strange phenomena that appeared when the demonic cultivators advanced.
Zhong Liyu was quite upset upon noticing that Li Ling's cultivation level had improved.
"We agreed to share joys and sorrows, so why are you isolating me? Are you all secretly cultivating behind my back? It's so hard to be teammates with you guys, I can't win at all."
Zhong Liyu sighed.
Seeing Zhong Liyu's pessimistic expression, Li Ling picked up a hammer and placed it beside her:
"Alright, stop pretending. I think you're almost there too. I think it's just that you, a Golden Core cultivator, are isolating the four of us."
Li Ling was eloquent, and seeing Zhong Liyu's frustrated expression, Jiang He pursed her lips slightly and smiled.
These two seem restless if they don't argue every day.
The five people gathered and entered the closing ceremony venue at the same time.
As soon as the closing ceremony of the academy competition arrived, all the cultivators, whether they were eliminated or left voluntarily, gathered together again.
Having won first place, every cultivator from Wanjue Academy walked with their heads held high and their gait arrogant, displaying an air of utter disregard for family and friends.
The Wanjue Academy team was still right next to Mingyue Academy and Lingqing Academy, with Zhao Wuchi right opposite them. Jiang He would feel bad if she didn't make a sarcastic remark.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Jiang He put her hands in her pockets, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery:
"Zhao Wuchi of Mingyue Academy?"
That's all there is to it.
