The Assessment

"There are so many kids who look about the same age as Miaomiao!" Lu Miaomiao spotted quite a few who looked to be seven or eight years old in the crowd.

Lu Zixuan said, "That's normal. If you can use pills to improve, they can too."

This is the Three Heavens Continent, where many people know how to refine pills. It is likely that there are also many powerful individuals who, like their uncle, can refine pills that can help people quickly break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

Bai Jingjing then said, "Actually, relying on pills to increase cultivation is not good, especially when children are young. It can easily make their combat power unstable. Unless their talent is particularly amazing, this approach is a bit like forcing growth. I'm afraid that 99% of those who come here under the age of ten will be eliminated in the combat power assessment."

Lu Miaomiao looked at Bai Jingjing, a piece of gummy candy in her mouth, but still said very seriously, "Sister Bai, Miaomiao is different from others!"

She felt a strong sense of familiarity with Bai Jingjing, as if she were facing her own older sister, so she quickly became familiar with Bai Jingjing after spending only a short time together.

Of course, their relationship progressed so rapidly also because Lu Miaomiao had just received a small snack from Bai Jingjing.

Those snacks were actually quite delicious.

Bai Jingjing said, "Yes, I hope Miaomiao can also get into one of the academies."

"Miss Bai, could you tell us more about the admissions assessment later? We don't know much about it," Lu Zixuan said with a smile, taking the opportunity to ask the question she wanted to know.

Lu Zhengran and the others also kept an eye on Bai Jingjing, wanting to understand her in advance so they could better deal with her later.

Bai Jingjing nodded and said, "There are four parts to the admission assessment. The first part is testing age and cultivation level. Both academies only admit geniuses under the age of eighteen. Anyone over eighteen, no matter how talented or from which faction they come, will be eliminated. Furthermore, students who enter the academy must leave if they are over twenty-two years old. As for cultivation level, one must reach the Great Emperor Realm. Therefore, some children with decent talent rely on elixirs to quickly improve their cultivation level in order to meet the requirements."

"The second project is the Emperor Position test! The Emperor Position is the most important thing on everyone's cultivation path. No matter what realm one cultivates to, even the Sovereign Realm, cultivation and strength are strongly linked to the Emperor Position. A good Emperor Position can change a person's life. Naturally, the academy hopes that its students can possess a special and powerful Emperor Position. This Emperor Position test is related to the results of all subsequent tests, and the two academies will select students. A powerful and special Emperor Position will be fiercely contested by both academies. Even if one does not meet the final combat strength test standard, if the Emperor Position is special enough, there is still a chance of being admitted exceptionally."

"The final test is the combat strength test I just mentioned. To pass the combat strength test, you must at least barely reach the cultivation level; if your combat strength is less than your cultivation level, then your cultivation is too superficial. And even if you pass all four tests, you won't necessarily be accepted into the academy, because the two academies have limited enrollment quotas, and some people will have to be eliminated."

After listening, Lu Zixuan and the other three nodded.

These tests are quite simple; they could pass them with their eyes closed.

"So, Miss Bai, are you confident you can pass the entrance exam? And if you do pass, which college do you plan to join?" Sun Minzi asked with a smile.

"If I pass, I'd like to join the Yin Realm Academy," Bai Jingjing said with a smile.

"Why is it the Yin Realm Academy?" Lu Zhengran asked.

Bai Jingjing seemed to have something she couldn't say. After a moment of silence, she smiled wryly and said, "I just really like this academy."

Lu Zhengran: "Oh."

Bai Jingjing: "What about you guys?"

Lu Zhengran said, "Let's do whatever we want. If possible, join the Yin Realm Academy first, and then join the Yang Realm Academy later."

Their purpose in coming here was simple: after joining the academy, they wanted to hone their skills and learn from the strongest geniuses within.

Bai Jingjing was taken aback. "I've never heard of joining the Yin Realm Academy first and then the Yang Realm Academy."

Lu Zixuan smiled and asked, "If a student has exceptional talent, will another academy secretly extend an olive branch and try to poach the student from the other academy?"

Bai Jingjing's expression was strange. "That has indeed happened. The top student on the Heaven Ranking is often recruited by other academies."

Lu Zixuan smiled and said, "Oh, that's good."

Bai Jingjing blinked.

Miss Lu, it sounds to me like you're very confident you can quickly reach the top of the Heaven Ranking, and then just wait to be snatched away by another academy???

Lu Zixuan and the others chatted while waiting for the assessment to begin.

Meanwhile, more and more people flew and landed in White Cloud Square.

At a certain moment, several Peak Reincarnation Realm experts suddenly descended upon the sky, appearing in the blink of an eye above White Cloud Square.

After these powerful figures arrived, the once bustling square, which was as noisy as a marketplace, suddenly became as quiet as a mass grave at night.

These powerful individuals split into two groups.

A group of people stood on the left, all dressed in white robes.

Another group of people stood on the right, all dressed in long black robes.

The man in the white robe was a powerful figure from the Yang Realm Academy. The leader was an elderly man with white hair named Yang Zhenghao, the Yang Realm Academy!

The people dressed in black robes are powerful figures from the Yin Realm Academy. The leader is an old woman named Yin Lihua, the vice dean of the Yin Realm Academy!

The moment the two vice deans appeared, they first glanced at the people who had come to participate in the assessment, and then looked at each other.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if lightning struck, filled with a fierce, confrontational tone.

"Snort!"

"Snort!"

The moment they shifted their gaze, they both snorted in unison.

"Alright, I'm sure everyone here has already familiarized themselves with the assessment content. Let's not waste any more time and begin the assessment! Those participating in the assessment, please line up in an orderly manner!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Zhenghao sent ten beams of light crashing down into White Cloud Square.

A group of young people quickly moved closer and lined up in front of the different beams of light.

Lu Zixuan and the others were unaware of the queuing rules, and by the time they realized it, a long line had already formed in front of the ten beams of light.

They could only choose one at random and quietly line up behind the tenth pillar of light.

"Actually, there's no rush. The test will be quick," Bai Jingjing said with a smile, joining Lu Zixuan and the others in the middle of the line.

"Uh-huh."

Then, Yin Lihua waved her hand, and ten black array orbs appeared behind the ten pillars of light.

"Let's begin the test."

Those in front of the ten pillars of light began to walk forward and enter the pillars of light.

As soon as the first person stepped into the pillar of light, the light from within enveloped their entire body, and then a line of text appeared above the pillar.

Age: Sixteen. Cultivation Level: Early Profound Heaven Emperor Realm.

After meeting the requirements of the first assessment, the beam of light suddenly turned green, meaning that the person had passed the first assessment.

Then, this person directly displayed his Emperor Position, with an Emperor Ring appearing behind him.

The Emperor Position is in decent shape; the pillar of light remains green.

Finally, the man dodged and plunged directly into the last black sphere of light.

After he entered the sphere of light, a black liquid puppet appeared inside, with the same cultivation level as him, both being at the Early Profound Heaven Emperor Realm.

The man successfully shattered the puppet with a single blow.

However, just as the puppet was shattered into liquid, it suddenly reformed into a human form and even split off into another puppet.

Two Profound Heaven Emperor Realm puppets appeared.

The man continued his attack, each strike shattering the liquid puppets, which soon split into even more puppets of the same level.

The assessment only ends when the liquid golem defeats the student.

The man was defeated by the attack of the fifteen liquid puppets, but he was not injured, as if the attacks within the formation did not cause any harm.

Finally, a line of text appeared above the black ball.

Combat strength: Middle Profound Heaven Emperor Realm.

At this point, the person's assessment is considered complete.

He flew out from the black array of light spheres.

"Go ahead and wait," Yang Zhenghao's voice rang out.

The person bowed respectfully, a smile playing on their lips, and flew to the front, where they waited quietly.

After watching the entire testing process, Lu Zixuan and the other three knew what to do next.

The assessment was indeed very fast; for each team, almost one person finished the assessment in just a few breaths.

Some people were faster, finishing only in the second project.

He wasn't fit for the Emperor Position; he was eliminated immediately!

"Good heavens! This year's assessment is too strict! In previous years, even those who were also vying for the Thunder Firmament Emperor Position could pass the second assessment!"

"Yes! I even saw that the Heaven Suppression Emperor Position was eliminated!!"

"They don't even look at the combat strength test anymore! In previous years, even if Emperor Position's test results were relatively poor, they would still check their combat strength test scores before deciding whether to eliminate them!"

"..."

The group of people waiting in line behind them for the assessment frowned and whispered amongst themselves.

Just as people were discussing it enthusiastically, a commotion suddenly arose from the line on the other side of one of the beams of light.

"Good heavens! This little girl is only five years old, yet she's already at the Early Profound Heaven Emperor Realm! And she's even at the Fire Phoenix Emperor Position Peak Profound Heaven Emperor Realm!!!"
