Invincible Martial King

Lu Chen was aware of the changes that happened behind him, but no matter what, it was fine. He was not interested in getting involved, because he was very interested in the news that he got from White-clothed Girl.    

    

It turned out that there was also an underground bazaar in the Dagan Academic Palace, and it seemed to be very different from normal bazaar, where one could gather a lot of information.    

    

But the problem was that it was there, and how could he get in?    

    

Lu Chen planned to ask another senior student in detail.    

    

However, after leaving the Training Hall area, Lu Chen didn't even meet a single student from the academy. However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.    

    

The horizon.    

    

A rainbow light shot out.    

    

It was none other than Lu Chen's teacher, Yu Hao.    

    

At this moment, Yu Hao's face looked anxious. His speed of flying was quite fast, as if he had something important to do.    

    

"Teacher Yu."    

    

Suddenly hearing someone call him, Yu Hao immediately slowed down. He looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Lu Chen greeting him.    

    

He was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. He descended from the air and laughed, "I thought it was that student. So it's that stinking brat."    

    

"Why didn't you stay properly in your residence? Why did you come here?"    

    

"I was just thinking of taking some time to walk around and familiarize myself with the environment of the academy." Lu Chen chuckled and kept his composure.    

    

"Kid, don't think that you can relax your cultivation just because you have successfully received the Soul Spring's baptism."    

    

"This place is very close to the Training Hall, if you have time to stroll, you might as well go and cultivate. It must be known that every month, our academy has examination competitions for our students."    

    

"If you can't pass the exam after two tries, you'll be kicked out of the academy according to the rules."    

    

Seeing this, Yu Hao frowned and reminded him seriously.    

    

Dagan Academic Palace were very strict requirements for students, and it did not mean that after joining the academy, one would definitely be able to stay within, as there would be an exceptionally strict examination once a month, and if one was unable to pass the examination twice in a row, one would be kicked out of the palace.    

    

Especially for a talented student like Lu Chen, Yu Hao was not someone who would be proud because of his innate talent. He had met many young people like Lu Chen in the past.    

    

There was no shortage of talented young warriors in the academy. What was lacking the most were those who, while being talented, could also maintain their true nature and put in great effort in their cultivation.    

    

"Teacher Yu is right."    

    

"Actually, the reason I came out this time was to participate in the academy's underground trade fair. Because I had some materials with me that I wanted to exchange for resources that would be helpful in cultivation, I forgot to ask for the exact location of the underground trade. So, I wanted to consult Teacher Yu."    

    

Lu Chen smiled bitterly and asked helplessly.    

    

"So that's how it is."    

    

"We students of the academy did organize an underground trade fair on our own. According to the rules, the academy won't allow it, but it won't affect the order of the academy, so we teachers can just turn a blind eye."    

    

"If you want to participate in the underground trade fair, you can go straight to the Plum Hill."    

    

Yu Hao was silent for a moment before he reminded Lu Chen.    

    

"Mei Shan Ling?"    

    

Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Teacher Yu, I just joined the academy a few days ago, so I'm not very clear about the environment here."    

    

"I have urgent matters to attend to, but I don't have the time to lure you over."    

    

"You go straight west from here."    

    

"We'll reach the Plum Mountain Range in about an hour."    

    

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Yu."    

    

"Remember my words, you are a good sapling, so you must make the best use of your time and focus on your training. The next monthly test is in half a month, and all of you freshmen must take it."    

    

"The top few who performed outstanding in the exam have a very rich reward."    

    

After Yu Hao finished speaking with a smile, he immediately flew into the air, flying towards the Training Hall with an even faster speed.    

    

"I understand."    

    

Lu Chen nodded and watched him leave.    

    

"At the end of the month?"    

    

"Why didn't you mention it a few days ago?"    

    

Wu Tie revealed a puzzled expression. Yu Hao had not mentioned this a few days ago. Could it be that he had set the rules that a freshman who just joined the assessment as well?    

    

Lu Chen shook his head and didn't think too much about it.    

    

In his opinion, as long as he had the strength, no matter what kind of assessment it was, it was not a problem. Lu Chen did not believe that a single month's worth of assessment would be able to stop his existence as Previous Martial Emperor.    

    

An hour later.    

    

The Plum Mountain Range seemed to be a mountain range on the surface, but when Lu Chen arrived, he realized that it was not what he had imagined at all.    

    

The place was like a bustling town, but the people coming and going were all students wearing the uniform of the academy. In the bustling shadows, Lu Chen even saw a few teachers dressed as senior teachers.    

    

"Halt."    

    

Just as Lu Chen wanted to enter, he was stopped by two students. Their auras weren't very strong and they were both in the Perfection Stage of the Sixth Heavenly Layer. This kind of cultivation level could only be considered as average in the academy.    

    

"I want to participate in the underground trade fair."    

    

Lu Chen directly revealed his intentions.    

    

"Regardless of which academy you are from, you have to pay a thousand soul crystals to enter the Plum Mountain Range." The taller student on the left sized Lu Chen up and said in a muffled voice.    

    

"Understood."    

    

Lu Chen smiled. He had quite a few soul crystals on him, so a mere thousand soul crystals was naturally enough. When he added Dagan Academic Palace a few days ago, he had also received quite a few soul crystals.    

    

"Here are two thousand soul crystals. A thousand is the payment, and the other thousand is the payment for the two brothers' hard work." Lu Chen directly took out two thousand soul crystals and handed it to the student.    

    

"You're quite tactful."    

    

"The underground trade fair is about 200 feet straight. You can enter that six story black brick building." Receiving the soul crystals, the two students looked at each other and reminded Lu Chen with a smile.    

    

Although a thousand soul crystals wasn't a lot, if everyone was as generous as Lu Chen, the two of them would be extremely rich.    

    

Lu Chen nodded and then entered the town called Mei Shan Ling.    

    

The streets were bustling with activity and there were many shops. Among them, there were a lot of goods, and they were all marked with soul crystals. Although they were pretty good stuff for normal martial arts masters, they were no different from trash in Lu Chen's eyes.    

    

"This place seems to be run by the students of the academy."    

    

"This Dagan Academic Palace is quite interesting." Lu Chen felt a little new as he walked and watched.    

    

Soon, he arrived in front of a huge black brick building. It seemed like a palace, but it did not have a wide door, only two small doors about half a meter wide. The left door went out, the right door went in, and there was no sign on the door.
