Wasn't the Cloud Firmament Sect Not Accepting Disciples This Year?

Outside the Vast Heaven Sect branch in Ice City.

The geniuses from all sides have been making a scene for two days, but they also understand that this is the Vast Heaven Sect... which is not something they are qualified to confront.

Just when everyone thought the matter would eventually fizzle out, Deacon Yang appeared.

The moment the announcement of the Six-Point Assessment was posted, the entire area outside the branch was deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the posted notice; their first reaction was, "Has the Vast Heaven Sect gone mad?"

Previously, a score of nine was required to pass the first round of the Vast Heaven Sect's assessment, but now only six points are needed to enter?

Is this a dream?

Countless people burst into tears of joy on the spot.

I've passed the first round of the Vast Heaven Sect's assessment... I can go to Haotian City... I might even become a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect!

But many people feel that something seems a little off...

Previously, the first round of assessments for the Vast Heaven Sect required a score of nine to pass.

Even in previous years, it should have been at least 8 points, so why is everyone making a fuss?

It wasn't that he wanted the Vast Heaven Sect to expel the disciples from those Lineage, but rather that he wanted the Vast Heaven Sect to lower the required score so that he would have a chance to enter.

What?

You said that even if you make it to the first round, you'll still be unable to pass the second round...

But that's the Vast Heaven Sect... Do you know what it means to pass the first round of the Vast Heaven Sect's assessment on the Blazing Sun Continent?

Look at those disciples who left Haotian City last year, weren't they all fiercely sought after by the Ten Great Sects?

Passing the first round of tests by the Vast Heaven Sect is enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life...

Moreover, passing the first round of assessments by the Vast Heaven Sect is equivalent to directly passing the assessments of the Ten Great Sects. Even if one cannot enter the Vast Heaven Sect, one can still enter one of the other top ten sects.

So who wouldn't want to pass the first round of assessments by the Vast Heaven Sect?

But a score of nine is enough to make most young people despair.

This is a score that would be a source of despair for the vast majority of geniuses.

Therefore, everyone hopes that the Vast Heaven Sect can lower its standards a bit and give more people a chance.

Everyone was wondering if our commotion would cause the Vast Heaven Sect to revert to its previous eight-tenths level.

We'd be happy enough if we could just get back to 8 points from last year.

But no one expected that the Vast Heaven Sect not only broke last year's eight-point assessment, but even lowered the score to six points?

What the hell is this?

A brief silence fell over the scene, but after it subsided, chaos erupted as everyone read the notice.

"Six perfect scores? This... isn't that too difficult?"

"My overall assessment score was a little over eight points, but I only got full marks in one of the assessment items..."

"Aren't these six perfect scores a bit too outrageous?"

Just moments ago, these guys were all crying tears of joy, but now they were completely dumbfounded. They were just discussing whether Chu Xinghe had gone mad? Lowering the requirement from nine points to six?

If it really is a score of six, then the number of people going to Haotian City this year will definitely be enough to overwhelm the Haotian City.

But now that they understood what this six-point mark meant, they realized that the difficulty of this six-point mark seemed to be no less than that of a nine-point mark...

Getting a perfect score in any one of the sections is very difficult, and getting perfect scores in all six sections is extremely rare.

"I... I got full marks in all six categories... I can enter the Vast Heaven Sect now..." A young man was trembling with excitement.

"I also got full marks in all six categories... I can now join the Vast Heaven Sect..."

"Thank you, Chu Xinghe... Although my overall score is only seven points, I still got full marks in six sections..."

The scene was in chaos. Although Chu Xinghe's Six-Point Assessment sounded difficult, it had to be said that this six-point assessment method had opened up a completely new path for some people.

There are all kinds of geniuses in this world... Some people can be experts in certain fields, but have absolutely no talent in others.

If the previous assessment methods were applied, such people would have absolutely no chance of entering the Vast Heaven Sect in their lifetime.

But now, with this six-point assessment system, they have hope.

Which young person who comes to Ice City doesn't come with a dream?

Who wouldn't want to join the Vast Heaven Sect?

However, the Vast Heaven Sect's cruel assessment methods meant that the vast majority of people could only have their dreams shattered in the Ice City.

Today, Chu Xinghe's new method is essentially giving some people who couldn't pursue their dreams in the past a brand new opportunity to do so.

Previously, your overall assessment score might have been only a little over six points. In that case, you wouldn't even pass the first round; you'd be lucky if they didn't kick you out immediately.

But now, even if you only have six points, as long as those six points are perfect scores in all six categories, you still have the qualification to enter the next round!

Chu Xinghe has essentially opened up a completely new path for some people to pursue their dreams.

The announcement of the six-point system sparked a new wave of chaos in Ice City.

Countless young people blocked the gate of the Vast Heaven Sect branch, loudly questioning them.

On what grounds?

We scored eight points in the overall assessment but weren't even qualified to pass the first round, while those with only six points were allowed to pass? We're not having it!

Faced with countless questions, Ma Liang drove out of the Vast Heaven Sect branch with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation.

The Ghost Emperor's oppressive aura instantly calmed all the young people down.

Everyone finally learned Ma Liang's true identity.

Ma Liang Ghost Emperor of Fengdu... This guy is a ruthless individual who almost single-handedly slaughtered the entire Great Moon Imperial Clan...

However, Ma Liang did not come out to kill anyone, but to explain something.

Without any hesitation, Ma Liang explained the mathematical theory that a score of 60 is greater than 90 to everyone on the spot.

After hearing Ma Liang's theory, the audience fell silent for a full minute...

Among young people, there are countless people who are proficient in mathematics, yet everyone was completely baffled by Ma Liang's calculations...

What? You're saying a score of 60 can't be higher than 90?

Then tell me, isn't the person who scored 60 points stronger than the person who scored 90 points in six areas? And isn't the person who scored 90 points stronger than the person who scored 60 points in only four areas?

While countless people were bewildered, someone with a quick mind immediately raised their question, "If I get 10 points in all nine categories, wouldn't my 90 points be higher than that 60 points?"

Upon hearing this question, Ma Liang immediately replied, "Young man, you're absolutely right... If you can achieve a perfect score in all nine areas, you won't even need Senior Brother Xinghe to arrange it. I, Ma Liang, an outer disciple, can directly arrange for you to enter the inner sect of the Vast Heaven Sect and enjoy the treatment of an elite disciple!"

Finally, thanks to Ma Liang's terrifying "mathematical" explanation, the young people of Ice City were temporarily calmed down.

But while the reassurances worked... the young people of Ice City were plunged into deep thought.

The content of this thought process is very simple and straightforward.

The question is whether a score of 60 is actually stronger than a score of 90...

This question has become the most difficult one to explain in Ice City.

From a normal perspective, everyone knows that 90 points is definitely higher than 60 points, right?

The problem is that, according to Ma Liang's theory, one person gets full marks in six categories and zero in the other four, while the other person gets nine points in all ten categories.

But if you compare them, wouldn't the guy who got 60 points be better than the guy who got 90 points in six categories?

Even if we consider all the factors, that guy who got 90 points only had four areas where he was better than the other guy.

So it seems Ma Liang was right...

Just as everyone was baffled by the mathematical genius Ma Liang, news of Chu Xinghe's Six-Point Assessment spread throughout the land.

When they heard about the Six-Point Assessment, the first reaction from everyone was, "The Vast Heaven Sect is doomed, right?"

What? Are you planning to compete with every sect in the world for disciples?

In the past, your Vast Heaven Sect recruited disciples with scores of 8 or 9 out of 10, while we recruited disciples with scores of 6 or 7 out of 10. We would occasionally pick up some leftovers from your Vast Heaven Sect.

Everyone got along very well, so what's with you guys suddenly trying to snatch all the six-point disciples?

Soon, after everyone learned the specifics of the Six-Point Assessment, they were completely bewildered.

What the heck?

Six perfect scores?

Your Vast Heaven Sect calls this a six-part system?

Many sects turned pale when they heard this news...

In fact, every sect in the world has its own geniuses, and there are even many prodigies who surpass the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Some of these prodigies didn't even pass the Vast Heaven Sect's assessment, but after being rejected by the Vast Heaven Sect, they entered other sects and displayed terrifying abilities.

This is because although their overall academic performance is not good, they are geniuses among geniuses in certain fields.

So over the years, each of them has certainly made a lot of bargains.

But when Chu Xinghe announced his Six-Point Assessment, those sect members who were still dreaming of getting a bargain were stunned.

Is Chu Xinghe not planning to let any talented person slip through his fingers?

With this Six-Point Assessment in place, no matter how much you specialize in one area, as long as you have absolute ability in a certain field, you will be discovered by the Vast Heaven Sect.

As a result, it will be even more difficult for everyone to find bargains in the future.

Following the announcement of the six-point system, Martial Emperor City was the first to announce its acceptance of the Six-Point Assessment.

A notice was posted in Martial Emperor City stating that Martial Emperor City would also adopt the Six-Point Assessment Method, and disciples entering Martial Emperor City could also enter Martial Emperor City through the Six-Point Assessment.

Following the first statement from Martial Emperor City, the various sects among the Ten Great Sects also responded in kind.

The Cloud Firmament Sect was naturally among them.

However, as soon as the news about the Cloud Firmament Sect was announced, all the young people were stunned...

Um... didn't the Cloud Firmament Sect not recruit disciples this year?

Huh? There's a mistake? The Cloud Firmament Sect is recruiting disciples this year?

But we've already gone so far, we can't make it in time...

Besides, even if we managed to get there, we might not be able to join the Cloud Firmament Sect... After all, look at how aloof the Cloud Firmament Sect is; they wouldn't even show themselves off during their Millennial Grand Sacrifice. They must be incredibly arrogant... With such Cloud Firmament Sect, they probably wouldn't even consider us...
