It's time for a comprehension test.
Tsubasa opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and penetrating, instantly discerning the level of understanding each person possessed.
He first looked at five of them. These five people consisted of one woman and four men, plus a spirit beast cub who had also passed. The comprehension fluctuations emanating from them were the clearest. Although they were far from mastering it, they had indeed touched the threshold of that profound mystery.
"You, you, you... and the two of you," Tsubasa pointed at the five people and one beast one by one, "Stand up and stand behind me."
The five people and one spirit beast suppressed their excitement, got up as instructed, and walked behind the Tsubasa Throne. Their hearts were pounding. They knew they had succeeded!
Tsubasa then looked at the other five people. Although these five people had not yet grasped the essence, they had not gained nothing either. At least they understood the evolutionary pattern of the rules, which could be considered as having "entered the door."
"The five of you have decent comprehension, but you haven't reached the standard for personal instruction. Would you be willing to become my nominal disciples and enter the Immortal Venerable Academy for further study? If you perform exceptionally well in the future, you may have the opportunity to be promoted to personal instruction."
Although the five were somewhat disappointed, becoming disciples of the Immortal King was already an immense stroke of luck, so they quickly bowed and replied, "We are willing! We are willing!"
Finally, Tsubasa looked at the two who had initially been clueless and were now deathly pale, and sighed softly, "You two are not destined for me. Go back. I hope you will cultivate diligently, and that you too can become pillars of the Shinobi World in the Mirai."
The two men were struck dumb, utterly dejected, and could only leave in despair.
Thus, the grand ceremony for the Immortal King to accept disciples, which shook the entire Shinobi World, came to a close.
Of the billions of living beings, only five humans and one beast ultimately became the personal disciples of the Immortal King Tsubasa! Another five became his nominal disciples.
Tsubasa looked at the true disciples behind him and the nominal disciples in front of him, his gaze sweeping over all the high-ranking members present, and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward, they are the flame of hope for the Mirai the Shinobi World! I will spare no effort in allocating resources and guiding their training! I hope everyone will work together to help them, and also to help our Shinobi World, overcome the great calamity to Mirai!"
Inside the hall, everyone responded in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.
A new chapter has begun. The seeds of hope have been sown, awaiting the day they ignite. Tsubasa, looking at these eleven faces, especially the six true disciples, silently prayed, "Grow up quickly; the Mirai wars will need your strength."
The establishment of the Immortal Venerable Academy was one of the most important events in the post-war Shinobi World. The academy was located in the Valley of the End, formerly the Land of Fire. This place was transformed by Tsubasa with immense Immortal Power, which activated the earth's veins, gathered Spiritual Qi, and built a magnificent palace complex full of profound aura, making it the new supreme academy and holy land of the entire Shinobi World.
After rounds of selection, only nine people and two beasts stood out and became students of the Immortal Venerable Academy.
These nine humans and two beasts can be said to represent the convergence of all the fortunes of this era in the Shinobi World!
Among them are already renowned geniuses and six-year-old children.
Sasuke Uchiha: The strongest successor of the Uchiha Clan in the current generation. He awakened the Rinnegan at the young age of twenty. His ocular power is unfathomable. His understanding of Fire Style, Genjutsu, and Lightning Release far surpasses that of his peers. His strength has even broken through to the Early Golden Core realm. He is also the vice-captain of the Kurama Interstellar Aircraft Carrier.
Hinata Hyuga: Immortal Cultivation of the Hyuga Clan, her Byakugan's purity and insight are hailed as the best in a century. She Tenseigan at the age of fourteen while training at the Moon God Cult, created the Gentle Fist " Eight Trigrams Xingchen Palm " at the age of eighteen, which is incredibly powerful, and reached the Golden Core Immortal Venerable realm at the age of twenty.
• Rēji Senju: Daughter of Senju Nawaki, she perfectly inherited her grandfather Hashirama Senju's Wood Release bloodline, and even surpassed him, able to unleash " Senjutsu Wood Release " imbued with Natural Energy. Her progress in Senjutsu training in Shikkotsu Forest was astonishing; at only Jūni years old, she had already reached the Peak High Immortal realm. In terms of training speed, she can be called the number one genius in the Shinobi World.
Naruto Uzumaki: He is of the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan bloodline. At the age of twenty, he is the captain of the Kurama Interstellar Aircraft Carrier. He has inherited a huge amount of Chakra and strong vitality. He has an extraordinary understanding of Wind Release Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu and Space-Time Ninjutsu. He is a strong person in the Early Golden Core at a young age.
There are also dark horses from commoners who have made it big with their extraordinary talent. Xingchen, only six years old, has mastered Taijutsu to the extreme. His speed and strength are unmatched among his peers. He is self-taught. His parents are just ordinary workers. They originally wanted to send Xingchen to school this year, but they encountered the great opportunity of the Immortal King taking on disciples. Unexpectedly, Xingchen became the Immortal King's personal disciple.
Finally, there was a little beast born from the union of a cat and Kirin. Her father was a Kirin, a demonic beast from the Yamanaka Iron City, while her mother was a large tabby cat from the cat clan who had taken human form. The little beast was thus named Kirin Cat. Kirin Cat cultivated for over ten years before taking human form, just in time for the Immortal King to accept disciples. She passed all the tests and eventually became the Immortal King's personal disciple. Meanwhile, the snake demon, who also possessed celestial-grade potential, was ultimately eliminated because she failed the test of her character.
The five nominal disciples are quite interesting. The first one Kageko Nara: Shikamaru Nara's younger sister. She has exceptional intelligence and an almost monstrous understanding of formations, strategies, and energy manipulation. After joining the Limitless Immortal Sect, she reached the Peak High Immortal realm at the young age of eighteen.
The second one is Tianling, the great-grandson of the Immortal King Tsubasa and the grandson of Emperor Tenbutsu of the Yan Nation. He is only ten years old and already possesses the strength of High Immortal.
The third is Madara Uchiha. That's right, this is Master Madara was reborn using the Reincarnation Technique. He's only six years old now. Old Madara felt resentful about being surpassed by geniuses one after another, so he decided to follow Hashirama's path and actively reincarnate into the Uchiha Clan using the Reincarnation Technique to prepare to start training anew. However, this time, because of his reincarnation, his comprehension test did not meet the standard, so he could only become a nominal disciple.
Fourth, Mito Uzumaki. After witnessing Madara Uchiha's great power, the wife of the First Hokage was reincarnated into the Uzumaki Clan in the same way the following year, and is now only five years old.
Fifth on the list Haruko, known as the last shrine maiden. She is only eighteen years old and has never trained. Surprisingly, she is a shrine maiden from the Land of Demons. After the Moryo Disaster, the Land of Demons was almost wiped out, but the shrine maiden had unexpectedly preserved her bloodline.
On the first day of school, Tsubasa made a personal appearance. He had no airs of Immortal King, and was just like an ordinary teacher, standing on the high platform, looking at the energetic and eager young faces below.
"I know you are all super geniuses, even more talented than me, the true Mirai of the Shinobi World." Tsubasa's voice was calm, yet clearly reached everyone's ears, "But today, I want to tell you, forget your titles of genius."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Here, all you need to do is learn, comprehend, and break through. The path to becoming Immortal King is fraught with thorns; talent alone is not enough to reach the end. It requires perseverance, wisdom, and above all, an unwavering heart dedicated to the pursuit of the Dao."
His gaze swept over the crowd. "I will impart to you my understanding of the laws and my control over energy, but how far you ultimately go depends on yourselves. I hope that one day in the Mirai, when the great enemy comes again, some of you will be able to fight alongside me, rather than needing my protection."
Tsubasa's words ignited a flame in the eyes of all the trainees. They yearned for power, for standing at the pinnacle, to protect their homeland!
The academy's teaching methods are also unique. Tsubasa doesn't use rote learning, but focuses more on guidance and practical application. He will assign various seemingly impossible tasks, allowing students to solve them in teams or individually; he will open simulated battlefields, letting students fight against powerful energy phantoms; he will even personally suppress his own cultivation level to spar with students, pointing out their shortcomings in actual combat.
Through repeated depletion of his eye power, Sasuke Uchiha explored the unique abilities of his Rinnegan; Hinata Hyuga, with the extreme insight of her Hinata Hyuga Byakugan, began to glimpse the mysteries of spacetime structure; Rēji Senju attempted to integrate different Kekkei Genkai into Wood Release; Xingchen, in the process of constantly pushing his physical limits, sensed deeper-level energy channels within his body...
The entire Immortal Venerable Academy is permeated with a positive, enterprising atmosphere. Every day, someone makes a breakthrough and someone creates miracles.
However, Tsubasa knew very well that these alone were not enough. Immortal King's breakthrough required a catalyst, a sudden enlightenment, and a true baptism of life and death. He was waiting for such an opportunity, and he was also creating it for these geniuses.
