Chapter 375: Darkness Bone Frame

Translator: jinzeffect

Very quickly, the day of the South Forest Martial Institution’s enrollment was here.

Over a thousand young people rushed over to the South Forest Martial Institution.

That’s right, the number of young people participating in the enrollment would be more than a thousand every single year.

Among them, there would be about one or two individuals who possessed 6-star bone frames. There were times there would be none. There were normally a few dozen 5-star bone frames or sometimes just over a dozen at times. The rest would all be 4-star bone frames.

The South Forest Martial Institution might have a criterion for the new enrolling cadets to have 5-star bone frames, but to avoid missing out on great talents, they would also recruit a certain number of 4-star bone frames, with the prerequisite of passing the second floor of the Clear Sky Tower.

The South Forest Martial Institution was only a few hundred miles away from South Forest City. In just a short moment, over a huge group of individuals arrived at an empty land. In front of them, there was a majestic and grand building complex.

The grand structure was built on a conical-shaped highland. It was constructed in an orderly matter from low to high. At the top of the cone, there was a tall tower and it was said that the tall tower contained a connector to the hidden domain that could enter the inner institute.

Before it was time for the enrollment, everyone was waiting on the empty land.

“Luo Yan, you slut. Let’s see if you can still act arrogantly.” In close proximity, Zhao Linghua walked over with Yang Biao and another man with an imposing manner.

Luo Yan spoke with a face that was covered in frost, “Zhao Linghua, your mouth is truly filthy. Can you go and wash it?”

“Glib tongue. Don’t be in a hurry. I will beat your underling onto the ground before I deal with you. Yang Biao, you have been slapped by him previously. Now is the time for your revenge.” Zhao Linghua said to Yang Biao.

Boom!

Qi exploded when the 5-star secret technique was activated. Yang Biao looked at Li Fuchen with a gloomy expression and said, “Little bastard, I can allow you to kneel down and slap yourself for ten times.”

Yang Bian had been utterly humiliated after getting slapped in public, he didn’t even know how he had withstood this humiliation for the past dozen days.

“It seems like a single slap isn’t enough to wake you up.” Li Fuchen spoke indifferently.

“Courting death!”

Yang Biao was enraged and a sledgehammer appeared in his hand. With a flash, he swung the sledgehammer at Li Fuchen in a frenzy.

“This kid is done for. Yang Biao is an elite cadet of the outer institute and has passed the third floor of the Clear Sky Tower. How can a new cadet be compared to him?”

“Unless he is Le Changfeng or the other heavenly prodigies, he might be able to match up to Yang Biao.”

Everyone gave space while pointing and commenting.

Yang Biao’s cultivation wasn’t incompetent and had reached the 7th level of Heaven Dipper Realm. His mystic class peak-tier hammer art had also reached the perfection stage. When the hammer was swinging over, the qi flow was extremely furious and violent. Regular Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists would suffer serious injuries even before they got struck by the hammer.

Just as Li Fuchen was about to get struck…

Clang!

Facing Yang Biao’s powerful and violent hammer, Li Fuchen held up his right fist and executed a casual punch.

The casual punch seemingly contained the power from a demon god. The punch didn’t only push away the giant hammer, its overwhelming fist force reflected the giant hammer and slammed onto Yang Biao’s chest.

Fresh blood flew out from Yang Biao’s mouth like a fountain as he was sent flying.

The empty land was unprecedentedly quiet while everyone stared at Li Fuchen.

Using a single fist to severely injure an outer institute’s elite cadet. Was this a strength that a new cadet would have?

That silent young man standing beside Zhao Linghua had a much more serious expression. It seemed like they had underestimated Li Fuchen. This person wasn’t ordinary.

“Damn it. Useless! Xu Lin, you go. You must defeat him for me.” Zhao Linghua spoke in a sharp voice.

She wasn’t willing to accept the fact that Luo Yan had found such an incredible new cadet.

Among everyone, Luo Yan was the only person who wasn’t surprised.

Li Fuchen was able to kill a Reincarnation Realm assassin in a single fist, let alone an outer institute elite cadet.

“Body refinement martial artist?” Le Changfeng was filled with thoughts.

“Xu Lin, hurry up and go!” When Zhao Linghua saw that Xu Lin wasn’t moving, she urged him.

Xu Lin frowned. If Zhao Linghua wasn’t Zhao Fenghua’s elder cousin, he wouldn’t even bother about her.

After taking a step out, Xu Lin said to Li Fuchen, “You have offended someone you shouldn’t have. Thus, I apologize.”

“There are people I shouldn’t offend, but those people aren’t you.” Li Fuchen replied.

“I am not Yang Biao. Be careful now.”

Xu Lin’s qi burst out along with his 5-star secret technique.

Xu Lin was also an elite cadet, but his strength was one level stronger than Yang Biao.

Yang Biao only managed to pass the third floor of the Clear Sky Tower, while Xu Lin had passed the fourth floor.

In terms of cultivation and martial arts, he was stronger than Yang Biao. His cultivation was at the 8th level of Heaven Dipper Realm, while he already comprehended his martial art intent. He was just lacking in terms of cultivation techniques that had yet to reach the highest rank.

Xu Lin’s weapon was a saber that was extremely sharp and intimidating.

Swish!

When the long saber was wielded, a boundless saber qi pressed over. Even a layer of the ground was shaved off, causing dirt and dust to cover the air.

Li Fuchen shook his head and still executed a single punch.

The valiant fist penetrated the saber qi and landed on the long saber.

The result was the same as Yang Biao. The long saber was reflected by Li Fuchen’s fist and the back of the saber struck ruthlessly on Xu Lin. Immediately after, fresh blood was vomited while Xu Lin flew back with a face of disbelief.

On the empty land, everyone was speechless.

A single fist, it was still a single fist. Xu Lin who was much stronger than Yang Biao couldn’t even withstand a single fist and had been severely injured.

Such strength would be enough to pass the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower.

Zhao Linghua’s mouth was opened wide but she could utter any voice. She was truly at her wit’s end.

Xu Lin was the strongest elite cadet she had and he wasn’t even able to withstand a single fist from Li Fuchen. She might have to ask her younger cousin Zhao Fenghua to personally deal with this problem.

“Zhao Linghua, didn’t you want to teach me a lesson?” Luo Yan sneered.

“You!” Zhao Linghua pointed at Luo Yan and spoke viciously, “Just you wait.”

Her cousin Zhao Fenghua would only be back at the South Forest Martial Institution a few days later. It wouldn’t be late to teach them a lesson by then.

“Interesting. I thought that apart from the listed cadets, no one else will be worthy of my attention.” In the crowd, there was a black-clothed youth who was revealing a faint smile.

Right at this moment, the gates of the martial institution suddenly opened. A cold and indifferent middle-aged man wearing a standardized robe walked out and spoke with a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow, “Only those below the age of 30 are allowed to go through the enrollment test. Everyone else shall not be allowed to enter.”

The south forest martial institution’s enrollment criterion was those that possessed the 5-star bone frame and were younger than 30 years old.

Those that didn’t have 5-star bone frames would have to attempt the Clear Sky Tower. Only those that passed the second floor would have the chance to become a cadet of the martial institution.

Li Fuchen took a single glance to understand that this middle-aged man was a high-level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. From his qi presence, he wasn’t inferior to the experts of East Unicorn Continent and might only be slightly weaker than the Evil King.

While the indifferent middle-aged man spoke, he took out a frame that was the height of a few men tall from his storage bag.

The frame landed firmly on the ground and in the frame, a layer of pale green light screen appeared.

“Only those below the age of 30 will be able to walk through this mirror. Those who cannot go through, get lost.” The indifferent middle-aged man said.

“Let me do it.” A figure flew over and instantly passed through the pale green light screen.

The indifferent man didn’t pay any attention. This secret treasure had the ability to discern age. Even Battle Spirit Realm masters wouldn’t be able to conceal their age easily. Of course, a Battle Spirit Realm master wouldn’t possibly enroll as a new cadet.

Most of the people had passed through the light screen, but there was a minority who were obstructed by the light screen.

“Impossible. I am 30 years old this year and I fit the condition.” A young man wasn’t willing to accept the outcome.

The indifferent man simply said two words, “Get lost.”

The first test of a test of age, the second test was the test of bone frame.

Inside the large gates of the martial institution, there was a majestic plaza. In the center of the plaza, there was a giant bone frame stone.

“Take turns for the test. Those whose bone frames at least 5-star will immediately become a cadet of the martial institution. Those whose bone frames are 4-star will have to participate in the third test.”

At the side of the bone frame stone, there was a long table and there was someone seated there and seemed to be responsible for registration.

“No.1. What is your name, how old are you?”

“Fu Qing, 28 years old.”

“Okay, go and test your bone frame.”

The bone frame stone emitted a considerably concentrated white light.

“Fu Qing, 28 years old, 4-star bone frame.”

“Next.”

…

The test went very quickly. In a short moment, it was the black-clothed youth’s turn.

When the black-clothed youth placed his right hand on the bone frame stone, the stone emitted a concentrated black light.

“What kind of bone frame is this? It is actually emitting black light.”

“He is indeed worthy of being the Black Bone City’s Young City Lord.”

Discussions could be heard from the crowd.

The mentor responsible for the registration looked at the black-clothed youth with an astonished look before writing on the paper, “Wang Heilong, 27 years old, 6-star darkness bone frame.”

“I know this Wang Heilong and I know he has the 6-star bone frame, but I didn’t expect it to be 6-star darkness bone frame.” Luo Yan whispered to Li Fuchen.

“Darkness bone frame?” Li Fuchen never heard of this before.

Luo Yan explained, “Extraordinary bone frames are separated into two kinds, the first kind is normal extraordinary bone frames like the icy cold and blazing flame. The second kind is the special extraordinary bone frames, like the darkness bone frames or sword dao bone frame.”

“I see. It seems like Young Master Dragon Sword, Chiyu Ye possesses the 6-star sword dao bone frame and not the so-called sword meridians.” Li Fuchen was enlightened.

After thinking about it, Li Fuchen asked, “Are all special bone frames able to awaken abilities?”

Luo Yan answered, “Actually, all extraordinary bone frames have chances of awakening abilities, but the difficulty will be different. Special extraordinary bone frames are able to easily awaken abilities, while normal extraordinary bone frames aren’t able to do it so easily, they might not even have the chance to awaken an ability in their lifetime. But be it special or normal extraordinary bone frames, one would need to reach the Reincarnation Realm before having the chance to awaken abilities. Once an ability is awakened, one would have the strength to be invincible within the same realm.”

“Invincible within the same realm?” Li Fuchen felt a little curious.

Next, Le Changfeng and a young lady named Gao Yue had also tested their bone frames.

Le Changfeng had the 6-star nimble wing bone frame, while Gao Yue had the 6-star soft water bone frame.

“Not bad, not bad. This year’s new cadets are much better than the previous years!” It seems like the prospering generation is arriving for our South Forest Martial Institution.” At the top of the tall tower, there was a grey-robed elder standing in the wind.

Very soon, it was Li Fuchen’s turn.

“This kid has overwhelming power and is obviously a Reincarnation Realm martial artist. I wonder about his bone frame though?” The grey-robed elder looked closely at Li Fuchen.

When taking steps towards the bone frame stone, Li Fuchen let out a bitter laugh.

His bone frame would probably shock a lot of people.

But it was inevitable as his bone frame was merely 3-star.

This was after it had upgraded by two stars, otherwise, it would be even more outrageous if he only had the 1-star bone frame.
