The Leopard Turned into a Pig!
Tang Bufan slowly explained the Sword Dao Institute's group divisions to Lin Bai in clear detail.
The lower-level group had no requirements for martial souls. Any martial artist whose martial soul was Profound Grade Fifth Rank or below belonged to the lower-level group.
The advanced group consisted of martial artists whose martial souls were above Profound Grade Fifth Rank but no higher than Earth Grade Fifth Rank.
The genius group only accepted martial artists with martial souls of Earth Grade Fifth Rank or above. Jian Ruohan, Ye Jianqiu, and Long Qingfeng, for example, all had martial souls of Earth Grade Fifth Rank or above, so they naturally entered the genius group.
There were also martial artists invited by the Sword Dao Institute. Jian Ruohan and Ye Jianqiu, for example, had both been invited by the Sword Dao Institute.
In fact, Lin Bai had also been invited, but he had not joined the Sword Dao Institute through the invitation. Instead, he had entered through the Divine Relic Ridge examination.
Tang Bufan said dejectedly, "The groups were assigned a month ago. After that month, the Divine Relic Ridge mentors taught us a Mystic Art to cultivate, and the people in the genius group mastered it in just over ten days."
"The advanced group took more than twenty days to master it."
"Only the disciples in the lower-level group—after an entire month, not a single one of them has mastered it."
"The assessment will be held in two days. If the lower-level group fails to reach the expected target, it'll probably be very difficult for us to obtain the cultivation resources afterward."
"Once we lose our cultivation resources, our lower-level group's results will fall farther and farther behind those of the advanced and genius groups."
