"There's one more thing. When the Kindling Combat Academy holds its entrance exams in a few days, I want to take part as a candidate. Arrange it for me."

Li Chen spoke directly.

Lin Yue'e's cohort had already graduated, so the various Battle Academies would begin a new round of admissions.

Li Chen only wanted to complete his mission. There was no need to hide his identity to take the exam.

The Battle Academy's exams fell into two main categories.

First: a comprehension test.

They would use various difficulties encountered in cultivation as exam questions, asking candidates to write down their own solutions to judge their comprehension.

This was precisely what Li Chen feared. His way of thinking differed from that of ordinary cultivators.

Or, to put it less politely, his level was too high. The teachers marking the papers might not understand what he wrote.

What if they gave him zero?

Then, for the sake of his ranking, he would have to go explain things himself and have a heated exchange with the markers. What a hassle.

He might as well tell Qu Heng, the dean of the Kindling Combat Academy, that he would be taking the exam and let him award marks as he saw fit.

That would prevent any awkward situations.

Second: a combat ability test, also known as a talent test.

Candidates had to complete the Battle Academy's entrance examination. Its content changed every time to prevent people from training specifically for the exam and concealing their true ability.

Li Chen was unconcerned about this. He had genuine ability, after all, and his Saint Realm cultivation was right there. If even he couldn't pass, how could anyone else?

Qu Heng understood as soon as he heard him. The new emperor wanted to inspect their Battle Academy.
