People Are Divided into Ranks
Even at such terrifying speeds, Su Luo still couldn't glimpse the edge of the academy, or even a corner of it.
"The internal nested spaces are too small to be precisely measured. Even considering only the external main territory, it would take more than a month of continuous travel at full speed (light speed) to circle it."
Shang Yang scratched his head, wondering why Scholars always asked such strange questions.
"Is that so... It seems like Grandma Liu has really come to the big city for the first time."
Su Luo gently shook her head and walked towards one of the doors, which appeared to be a million miles high.
Above the lintel, a Fixed Star condensed into text, clearly engraved with words—
[Assessment and Study Pathway]
Walking through this unimaginably grand architecture evokes a sense of aesthetic disorientation.
"This door is known as the 'Back Door' in our academy because it's specifically for those geniuses who pass the entrance exam."
Shang Yang began his introduction.
In societies where there is a significant disparity in individual strength, Back Door is not something to be ashamed of.
Most people dream of getting Back Door it's incredibly satisfying.
Being able to Back Door is often a double honor, a combination of Talent and background.
Relationships are also a form of power. Personal connections, family background, and individual combat strength are closely intertwined.
Therefore, "Back Door" is actually a term of respect.
Although Shang Yang previously described it as something incredibly difficult and impossible to overcome, with a sufficient pool of talent, there will never be a shortage of geniuses.
So it's just a matter of perspective; Shang Yang has never had any contact with those geniuses who were able to pass the entrance exam.
Maggot.
Such a massive building, in a neutral position within a [World Cluster], houses an unimaginable astronomical number of students, including geniuses who "would rather be promoted on their own than come to study."
At least Su Luo saw that there was still a lot of people coming and going through the [Back Door].
The Baldy walked forward familiarly, took out three orbs of soft light from the light platform beside the door, and distributed one to each person.
"Fill out the registration form first, then pay the fee."
Su Luo took it, and in the next instant, the ball of light fell into the phone, becoming a registration form.
"Choose your major in the extraordinary faction first, and if you have extra capacity, you can choose a minor one." The Baldy recalled what the senior who brought him here had said and slowly gave him his instructions.
"The difficulty of the assessment remains constant. The more system categories you fill in, the lower the depth of the questions in each subject and the more varied the coverage; if you specialize in a single system, the questions will be extremely tricky."
Then, the Baldy seemed to remember something and said to Su Luo:
"By the way, seeing how confident you are, let me remind you, those geniuses who get in through 'Back Doors' are also called 'Work-Study Students'."
Su Luo couldn't help but recall something as well.
Is there a script for Shitley Academy?
"That [Work-Study Student] status is a good thing. Other students have to pay for their own expenses after enrollment, but [Work-Study Students ] don't have to pay for the college's resources. They can directly join research groups, undertake research tasks, and earn a salary. Their privileges are far higher than those of students who pay tuition... In short, it's awesome."
"The enrollment of those who enroll first will influence the enrollment of those who enroll later; don't forget that!" Shang Yang Yangding reminded him.
Su Luo didn't answer, and instead looked down to find the registration form for the Mana Side.
[Accumulation Faction], [Symbiosis Faction], [Resonance Faction], [Analysis Faction], [Imprint Faction], [Subordination Faction], [Imitation Faction], [Mind-Thought Faction], [Bond Faction].
[Adrian Academy] divides Mana Side nine factions.
These schools represent: I contain Mana, I transform into Mana, I guide Mana, I analyze Mana, I define Mana, I borrow Mana, I replicate with Mana, I conjure with Mana, and bonds Contracts centered on Mana.
It doesn't mean that those Mana Side can only cultivate one or a few schools of thought.
Generally speaking, beings that have reached this level will certainly have explored all of them.
The only solution is to choose the faction you are most proficient in to tackle the most difficult problems.
The Nine Schools classification system is highly applicable, not just limited to Mana; it can also be applied to many other extraordinary systems, albeit with different emphases.
Su Luo then looked at the cultivation section and found that the categories were: Qi Refining, Body Refining, Primordial Spirit, Attunement, Merit, Source Seizure, Craft, Path of Fate, and Mind Nature.
The principle remains the same: the strong should cultivate all aspects of the art, but they should choose to focus on a particular style.
In addition to these, there are Martial Dao, technology, mystery, faith...
Su Luo actually wanted to choose from both, but ultimately only chose Mana, focusing on the [Analysis Faction].
It's just an exam anyway. It doesn't matter if it's a little difficult.
Enter "[Primordial Mana]" for the Origin cultivation, and leave the "World of Belonging" field blank.
The page redirects, and a new required field pops up:
Please select one [Demigod] as your guarantor for this assessment.
"Do we still need to fill in a guarantor?" Su Luo looked up at the Baldy and Shang Yang, who had already filled in the forms.
"Otherwise what?" The Baldy and Shang Yang both gave him strange looks.
"How did you get into [Adrian] without a guarantor?"
Su Luo suddenly understood and shook her head slightly.
Most Otherworlder come to Adrian in search of further possibilities.
Furthermore, the probability of encountering a [Demigod] is even lower than that of a [Fallen God Demigod], and the disadvantages are ridiculously numerous.
Therefore, they sought to learn how to advance to [Demigod].
To put it bluntly, if you don't know any [Demigods ], what right do you have to come to a peaceful, low-risk place to learn how to advance to [Demigod] status?
If you don't know a [Demigod], where will you get the resources to advance to [Demigod]?
People are divided into different classes, and meat has different layers.
Limit Breaker without a background are like wildfire that cannot be extinguished in the midst of battle and conflict, springing up again with the spring breeze.
All they wanted were methods and resources for promotion, but that was truly terrifying.
The gap between a [Limit Breaker] and a [Demigod] is so terrifying, it's like an ordinary person trying to build a moon through their own efforts.
"So [Adrian Academy] can actually be considered a noble academy."
Su Luo looked at the registration form for a while, feeling somewhat annoyed.
How about filling in the Survival Game?
I vaguely remember Qi Yuan's dislike for Survivors, and other Survivors in the World Channel also revealed that Survivors didn't have a good reputation in the world.
It might explode on the spot after being filled in.
Who should we fill in?
[Starry Sky]?
If she fills it in, Su Luo might explode on the spot.
Finally, Su Luo looked up and said:
"For some reason, I don't know who to fill in, so I'll leave it blank for now and go in and take a look."
Anyway, you just fill out a form to go in and see what's going on; it's free.
The moment they stepped through the Back Door, Su Luo and the others were teleported away by a beam of white light.
Their senses picked up information again; the three of them had arrived at a large hall paved with white stone, surrounded by small rooms and vending machine-like machines.
A white cat was lying on the front desk in the lobby.
The huge hall only had Su Luo and two others; it seemed there were other front desks and reception areas as well.
There was absolutely no excitement to be had.
