Chapter 164 The Genius Phoenix 9 Days?
“There are absolutely no signs of life inside this golden egg,” Xuanji Zi said, frowning deeply.
Feng Jiutian looked down at the golden egg in his arms.
"Let's try hatching it. If it succeeds, we'll know what kind of creature it is. If it fails, at least we've tried," Feng Jiutian said calmly, carefully holding the golden egg in his hands and warming it with his body heat.
Fortunately, the golden egg wasn't too cold, but rather warm, which prevented Feng Jiutian from feeling too uncomfortable.
Xuanji Zi clicked his tongue and turned into a wisp of green smoke, returning to the Void Spirit Cauldron, no longer paying attention to the golden egg.
Feng Jiutian stared intently at the golden egg, her eyes filled with a complex emotion she herself was unaware of.
For some reason, she trusted the man and wanted to try hatching the egg.
Deep down, she knew that Mo Shaoxie wouldn't lie to her.
However, she couldn't figure out where this feeling came from, but ever since she became a mercenary, she dared not and would not trust someone so easily again.
These feelings are both complex and unfamiliar now.
Seeing that the golden egg remained still for a long time, Feng Jiutian gradually fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was exceptionally pleasant.
Feng Jiutian woke up, looked at the golden egg in his arms that hadn't changed at all, and calmly put it back into his ethereal space before quietly beginning his cultivation.
For several days in a row, Feng Jiutian only occasionally sparred with the old man and did not care about anything else.
During the day, he would focus on his cultivation in his room, consolidating his current mid-stage master level, and at night he would sleep as usual, clutching the golden egg.
Although the golden egg remained unchanged, Feng Jiutian stubbornly continued to incubate it, and even Xuanji Zi couldn't dissuade her.
Several weeks passed in a row, and before we knew it, it was time for the annual elite competition.
The Royal Academy's elite selection competition has always attracted much attention, and this year is no exception.
You should know that once you win the Royal Academy's elite selection competition, it means that you can represent the academy in the selection competition of the four countries. Whether you win or not, it will be a great honor.
In the conference hall, all the mentors were discussing the matter enthusiastically, recommending students they thought were promising.
Seven years have passed, and the other three countries have each won twice in a row, while the Royal Academy has fallen behind. Therefore, the academy's mentors are paying extra attention to this year's selection competition.
If the Royal Academy falls behind again this time, it will be a major disgrace for the Royal Academy.
Countless eyes are watching them, hoping for some kind of accident so they can make a big fuss and spread rumors about the Royal Academy.
For a moment, all the mentors couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yun watched calmly, saying nothing, letting the instructors speak passionately.
They're saying all this now simply to gain attention for their beloved student.
Once a student catches the dean's attention, it means they might receive some guidance, which would be extremely beneficial even if their strength didn't improve.
Although it seemed like just a routine exchange, everyone already knew what the underlying intentions were.
Since he doesn't want any recommendations, he might as well just stay quietly.
Suddenly, a pair of cold, clear eyes appeared in front of him.
That girl's strength is beyond doubt, and her talent is astonishing.
Although she didn't know why she had been in seclusion for two whole months, Yun could never shake off her image from his mind.
He had a feeling in his heart.
When this girl emerges from seclusion, it will be time for the world to change.
“I think Feng Jiutian will be the champion this time,” Yun suddenly said, startling everyone.
It's worth noting that Yun, as a senior mentor who has been here for many years, has never taken the initiative to speak in this kind of situation.
It's his own fault for being so arrogant, and the current batch of freshmen are all less talented than the last, not even worthy of his attention.
Over time, everyone got to know his personality, but no one expected him to suddenly say a name.
Feng Jiutian? Who is that?
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, carefully recalling whether they remembered this student.
"Isn't that the girl who was chased by the demon last time!"
A burly man suddenly shouted loudly.
He had the opportunity to participate in the last search operation and had some contact with Feng Jiutian. His strongest impression of that girl was that she was aloof and calm, unlike ordinary people.
"Is that the genius Feng Jiutian?" In an instant, everyone recalled that genius who had once crushed all the geniuses in the academy and even challenged the old man.
However, she later went into seclusion to cultivate and went into hiding for some reason, and as a result, her name faded away day by day. Nowadays, if it's not a fanatical fan, you really wouldn't remember her name if you suddenly mentioned her.
Yun nodded lightly and focused her gaze on the middle-aged man at the very top.
"I believe that Feng Jiutian is absolutely capable of resisting the people from the other four kingdoms and bringing us glory. Her talent is extremely terrifying, and she becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents. How can someone with such abilities not win?"
Yun said with great confidence.
He was also upset that the Royal Academy had been crushed for so many years.
In his view, students nowadays are either lacking in character or talent, and they make a big fuss over the slightest setback, which is simply unacceptable.
A meaningful glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he quietly tapped his hands on the table.
"The Royal Academy has fallen behind for seven years. We absolutely cannot afford to lose face again. This year's students are better than in previous years. As for who will ultimately win and represent the academy, it all depends on their strength. I look forward to this competition within the academy making me see things in a new light, and I also look forward to seeing if those students you mentioned are truly exceptional." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, adopting a businesslike demeanor.
As soon as he left, the professors couldn't help but start discussing it.
"Who do you think will be the champion this year?" the burly man asked again, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"It couldn't possibly be a bunch of barbarians from your martial arts class!"
A woman standing nearby rolled her eyes at the burly man and said irritably.
As a high-level mage, she couldn't stand the burly man.
Perhaps it was the innate rivalry between mages and warriors that made her unable to resist refuting the burly man from all directions, and ultimately emerge victorious.
The burly man gave an awkward smile and ignored the woman.
A good man doesn't argue with a woman, especially a beautiful one.
Yun smiled.
Ji Yu suddenly interjected, "I think this year's champion will be Feng Jiutian."
The tutor standing nearby was stunned again upon hearing this.
It would be one thing if only Yun thought so, but even Ji Yu, who is used to seeing geniuses, would give such a high evaluation?
