Chapter 352 Xuanwu Continent (4)
Seeing the dean's mysterious demeanor, he couldn't help but ask, "Does the top few receive some special reward?"
"The top three in the competition will get core spots, the top ten will get seed spots, the top one hundred will get excellent spots, and those below one hundred will all be ordinary students. The spots will determine your treatment after entering the academy," the dean said with a smile, knowing that this girl hadn't been listening properly at the time.
"Thank you, Dean, I understand." Wangyou nodded seriously upon hearing this. It seemed that her living arrangements after entering the school would all be related to the rarity of the spot she had obtained.
Thinking of this, Wangyou began to recall the list she had recently read, which introduced some geniuses who had become famous in recent years, as well as their signature skills or backgrounds. The top ten were all extraordinary talents with exceptional family backgrounds.
Of course, it's also possible that some people, like Wangyou, are just watching the excitement while subtly gathering information. After all, in this situation, a dark horse is definitely inevitable.
However, after flipping through the roster, Wangyou discovered something: it seemed that none of these geniuses were under ten years old, and she was the only one who was seven.
Wangyou suddenly laughed. In that case, even if she didn't pretend to be weak to take advantage of others, she would still be seen as a weakling by others.
"Dean, do you know what the guardian beast of Holy Spirit Academy is?"
"Well, I really don't know. You'll have to find out for yourself." The dean stroked his beard. He had never been inside the Five Great Courtyards, so how would he know what was inside?
When Wangyou heard the dean say he didn't know either, she simply stopped asking. The big white tiger that followed her was a divine beast, the second tiger was a spirit beast, and the third fool was a sacred beast.
Putting aside the latter two, the appearance of the White Tiger will likely attract attention from all sides. Moreover, the guardian beast of the White Tiger Academy is nine out of ten White Tigers. If people find out that she has a divine beast by her side, they might use various excuses to take the White Tiger to the White Tiger Academy.
However, most students from Xuanwu Continent choose Xuanwu Academy, while a small number choose other academies.
Xuanwu is a divine beast primarily for defense, and she didn't want to build herself a tortoise shell. Moreover, Xuanwu belongs to the element of water, and while water is powerful, Wangyou already has extraordinary control over water, so going to Xuanwu Academy wouldn't be of much help to her.
The Azure Dragon governs life. When Wangyou was in the Spirit Division Realm, she examined her soul and found a giant silver dragon sleeping within it. She felt that the dragon was much more powerful than the Azure Dragon, but it had not yet grown up. If it were discovered, it might become a snack for the Azure Dragon Academy's guardian beast.
The White Tiger is associated with killing and warfare, as you can tell from Da Bai. In the secret realm, they fought almost every day. Therefore, the people of the White Tiger Academy are known for their fighting prowess and extremely volatile tempers. The thought of going to the White Tiger Academy would mean losing one's peaceful life, so Wang You didn't really want to go.
The Vermilion Bird Academy is quite special among the five academies. This academy only accepts women and not men. However, the fact that they can live among the five academies shows that their combat strength is also quite formidable. But as the saying goes, where there are many women, there is much trouble. Wangyou is not really interested in going there.
After considering all the options, only the Holy Spirit Academy remains. As long as it can suppress the Four Spirits and firmly hold the first place, the strength of the Holy Spirit Academy is beyond doubt. The guardian beasts inside are probably also extraordinary. However, because of this, there must be many people who want to go to the Holy Spirit Academy, so the competition is naturally not small.
However, based on the information I've gathered, the Holy Spirit Academy has the most extensive collection of books, so let's go to the Holy Spirit Academy.
After Wangyou decided where to go, the atmosphere in Xuanwu City could be described as tense. After all, there were only so many spots available, but there were far more than a thousand people who came to participate in the assessment.
Five more days passed. On this day, the teachers in charge of admissions from the five colleges arrived, and the atmosphere in the city reached another climax.
However, the excitement didn't last long, because the assessment began the next day.
The first round is a free-for-all, the second round is a team battle, and the third round is a solo battle.
The free-for-all is simple: everyone is on one stage, and the time limit is three incense sticks' worth of time. Those who do not leave the stage within the time limit will enter the second round.
Of course, to prevent cheating, a testing device was placed at the entrance to the arena to test cultivation level and bone age. Anyone whose cultivation level was below 20 or whose bone age was above 20 was eliminated, even if they were capable of fighting opponents of higher levels.
So, when Wangyou, such a little kid, successfully passed the test, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
When Wangyou entered, there weren't many people on the arena yet, but they were already on guard against each other.
Wangyou ignored everyone else and found a corner. Spiritual imprints appeared on her fingertips, forming arrays that firmly protected her in the center.
"Such a fast formation technique!" an old man with a white beard exclaimed in surprise from the sidelines.
"This year's academy competition seems to be full of hidden talents!"
The melee quickly began, with everyone attacking indiscriminately. After all, one less person meant one less competitor, and they had to prevent themselves from being knocked down while also knocking others down.
However, there are exceptions, namely groups of people who are particularly close. They unite, form a circle, and guard against any potential enemies.
Wangyou sat cross-legged in the middle of the formation, truly watching the tigers fight from the mountain. Of course, it wasn't that no one attacked her, but those who attacked her would inexplicably appear below the arena.
In this way, after many times, the area within ten meters of Wangyou becomes completely clean, like the only pure land on the arena.
"What an exquisite array formation technique! This must be a spirit array master!" A few people on the other side of the arena remarked upon noticing this.
"Seven years old in terms of bone age, and with the cultivation level of the Profound Spirit Realm, this is likely to be a formidable opponent in this competition!"
"Stop lamenting, let's just focus on protecting ourselves first, and see if we can team up with her in the second game."
There are quite a few people with this idea. After all, it's best not to offend a spirit array master with exceptional talent.
Wangyou looked around for a long time, but no one came. After thinking for a while, she took out the alchemy furnace and some medicinal materials needed for basic spirit-replenishing pills from her storage bag.
"What is she doing with the alchemy furnace? Does she know how to refine pills?!"
As it turned out, she really did know how to refine pills. In just a quarter of an hour, the fragrance of pills wafted out, causing the fighters on the arena to stop their attacks and turn around, only to be stunned.
Inside the half-person-high alchemy furnace was a full pot of green pills, with patterns on them; they were actually top-grade spirit-replenishing pills.
Now, not only was the arena completely silent, but the area below was also completely silent. Everyone stared blankly at the furnace of pills and then at the little girl filling a basin with them.
Perhaps only the people from Qingling Academy remained relatively calm, since they had all witnessed it, but even so, their emotions were still turbulent.
