Application and Assessment

At the officer's shout, the solid wall of armored men immediately began to clang with the rhythmic sound of armor clashing, and a wide road, large enough for a carriage to pass through, appeared before the three of them.

Lin Qing took out a gold card from his Storage Ring and handed it to the officer. Seeing that the officer hesitated to accept it, he said:

"There are about 100,000 gold coins in here. For Alchemist like me, that's enough to refine one batch of Third-Grade Medicinal Pill. You can share it with your brothers when you get back!"

They took advantage of others' convenience and used connections; even though they were receiving money from the Jia Ma Empire, they still had to show some appreciation.

After all, cultivation isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. Although he could choose not to follow these rules, isn't that what people are hoping for when they give him special treatment?

Upon hearing this, the officer stopped being coy and, inwardly sighing at how wealthy the Alchemist was, accepted the card. He then led the three of them inside.

Lin Qing took the two women's hands and walked into the passage made of armor. The expressionless taxi soldiers around them exuded a faint smell of blood. Although he and Xiao Yi Xian were unaffected by their strength, Qing Lin, who had just Dou Zhe, felt his breathing become slightly rapid. He raised his Soul Strength to isolate himself from these auras and quickly led the two women through the passage.

"My lord, this is it!"

After leading the three men to the square, the officer pointed to a large, open green tent inside the square and said...

From there, you can see the huge crowds outside, and occasionally, through the various passageways, young men and women who have passed the tests walk excitedly into the plaza.

"Okay, thank you!"

Lin Qing bowed slightly to the officer.

After the officer left, Lin Qing led the two women toward the large tent.

Upon seeing Lin Qing and his companions arrive, a middle-aged man in an academy uniform quickly walked over.

The man bowed to Lin Qing and said:

"Greetings, Master. I am Ma Jun, the admissions instructor for the Jia Nan Academy in Desert City. Are these two young ladies seeking admission?"

As a tutor at the Jia Nan Academy, he naturally knew about Alchemist. Although Lin Qing looked relatively young, who knew if the Fifth-Grade Alchemist in front of him was an old monster with the art of preserving youth?

The reason Lin Qing was excluded was because of his strength. Generally, Fifth-Grade Alchemist have the strength of Dou Wang. He is already qualified to be an elder in the academy, so how could he possibly apply!

What Ma Jun didn't know was that Lin Qing had actually considered entering the Outer Academy to fish, but he hadn't had that idea after breaking through to the Dou Wang.

"Oh! My name is Lin Qing, Two-Star Dou King, and also a newly promoted Tier 6 Alchemist. I'm here to see if Jia Nan Academy is recruiting Guest Elder. These two are my sisters; they're here to take the entrance exam."

Ma Jun was somewhat stunned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that the other party had come to the Jia Nan Academy, and it seemed that they had brought their family with them.

In the past, there have been cases of people getting in through connections, but those were usually those who were just barely qualified or barely passed the line. I didn't expect that this time they would actually get a Dou Wang and Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

"I wholeheartedly agree with your request, but I cannot make a decision yet. Therefore, I hope you can wait a moment while I consult with the higher-ups at the academy."

"As for these two ladies, please take the test. Don't be nervous. Just come forward and put your hands on it. It will light up as long as your Dou Qi reaches the eighth level."

After saying that, Ma Jun took out a fist-sized red crystal ball from his Storage Ring.

He certainly wanted to recruit her into the academy immediately, but as he said, he was just a Da Dou Shi, an ordinary instructor who couldn't make the decision on whether to recruit Lin Qing. However, he could still try to please the two girls in front of him.

After all, the other party has a Dou Wang expert is also Sixth-Grade Alchemist behind them, so it will be easier to talk to them if they need anything in the future.

Qing Lin obediently stepped forward and placed her hand on the crystal ball. She lingered there for a moment until the crystal ball lit up, then withdrew.

After seeing Qing Lin succeed, Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and placed her hand on the crystal ball. The crystal ball lit up, and she withdrew her hand.

"Alright, you two are both qualified! Tell me your names, ages, and cultivation levels, and I'll record your talent levels."

After Ma Jun flipped his hand to put away the crystal ball, a Storage Ring on his finger flashed, revealing a dark green sheepskin scroll and an ink brush in his hand.

"Eighth Stage of Dou Qi, belonging to the F-level potential value, is the standard of the Jia Nan Academy."

"Ninth Stage of Dou Qi, belonging to the E-level potential value."

"One-Star Fighter is D-rank, Two-Star Fighter Zhe is C-rank, and so on, with the highest rank being S-rank Five-Star Fighter. Of course, the age limit here is under twenty."

After speaking, he looked at Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian with some anticipation. Although he didn't know the strength of the two girls, he felt that they were definitely above A-level.

Qing Lin spoke in a clear voice, "Qing Lin, 8 years old, One-Star Fighter."

"Huh?! Hiss!"

Ma Jun gasped, his lips twitching slightly in disbelief. He hadn't expected that this little girl in the green dress, only eight years old, would already possess the strength of Dou Zhe), which was probably even beyond S-rank! He had truly struck gold this time.

Ignoring Instructor Ma Jun's surprise and astonishment, Xiao Yi also spoke up, "Xiao Yi Xian, 14 years old, one -Dou Ling."

"Dou Ling!"

Upon hearing that another being surpassed S-rank, Ma Jun was overjoyed and almost broke the pen in his hand. He looked up at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin with a burning passion.

Moreover, this is Dou Ling Double Spirit) cultivator, whose strength is already stronger than his. Even in the Inner Academy, he would be among the top 100! He's only 14 years old. It seems we've really struck gold. We must bring these two geniuses, who are absolutely capable of entering the Inner Academy, into our class.

Ma Jun's intense gaze caused Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian to jump back to Lin Qing's side.

"Ahem, don't misunderstand. I'm just happy because of your talent. Your talent surpasses S-rank. Would you be interested in joining my class?"

Ma Jun realized that his gaze had been somewhat impolite, so he looked at the three of them and explained.

"Master Lin, I will report your matter immediately. You can take these two children back now. We will continue to recruit students here for ten days. You can come back with the two children after ten days, and I will get back to you then."

[Ding! Selection complete, reward sent to System Space!]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Qing inspected the System Space. A ball of flame rose within System Space, and at its center was an ancient fire rune...

"Then let's wait for your good news! As for joining the class, if you can register them for this year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament, then they will join your class, Teacher Ma."

Lin Qing chuckled. He didn't agree directly, but instead made a small bargain. If he wanted Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to join his class to help him achieve results, he had to solve some problems for the students.
