Chapter 617: Perfect Scores and Evidence

Zixue Academy ranks entrance exam results into five evaluation levels, with each level worth 20 points.

E: Poor.

D: Unqualified.

C: Qualified.

B: Excellent.

A: Outstanding.

The first standard for admission to Zixue Academy is age.

Only students who are sixteen years old or younger can apply; there is no minimum age requirement, as those with strength can enroll even at one year old.

Then comes the evaluation: a C grade is considered the passing line. No matter how outstanding a single ability may be, if any one ability does not reach a C grade, Zixue Academy will not accept the applicant.

Zixue’s mission is to cultivate well-rounded talents; if someone is a genius in only one area, they can attend Chi Xue or Teng Long, and there is no need for special admissions.

Only after these two requirements are met does the selective admission process take place.

Out of three hundred thousand examinees, after just half an hour of written tests, more than a hundred thousand people left, all scoring below C and not qualifying for the Four Dimensions test.

So many people left in disappointment, but it didn’t cause any stir; only those who remained felt relieved that their abilities were sufficient. Those barely scraping by didn’t know whether they would fall or continue forward, nor did they have the spirit to mourn for others.

Moreover, the more capable individuals would not spare a glance for the failures; they threw themselves into the tests wholeheartedly to secure their spots.

Zixue Academy is the top institution that can change one’s fate. While it is not the only path, anyone who fails to achieve at least a C grade would almost certainly have no chance of entering the other four major schools, losing the opportunity to rise above others.

Remaining is a must; this is the greatest opportunity in the entire Celestial Empire. Once one stays, it means stepping into another level, truly a “direct train to the upper echelons"—all other paths pale in comparison.

It is well known that only the five major schools can access the core affairs of the Celestial Empire—

The only marker project in the multiverse!

In this end of the law era where spirit energy is fully consumed by Primitive Spiritual Herbs, this is the only route to obtain cultivation resources and reach the peak!

“Proceed to Combat Testing Ground Number 2.”

Yun Ye arrived at Testing Ground Number 2 under guidance. Here, overwhelming crowds filled the area, but everyone naturally made way for him as he passed through; he did not feel crowded at all.

This privilege did not belong solely to Yun Ye; many other talented individuals also enjoyed this honor. It was a vast gap that one could simply “see” and understand. Ordinary candidates lacked the courage to approach talents of this level, fearing embarrassment.

“Hmm, it seems the invigilators have changed; did something happen?”

Suddenly, discussions erupted around him.

There is usually a teacher present at Ground Number 2.

A man in a black military uniform was there, but soon a white-haired boy arrived and, after a few exchanges, the personnel changed.

The original teacher sat aside, checking something on his ring.

“Quiet! We will now begin the test. There is only one opportunity for each test, and only the highest total score will qualify for admission in three heavens. Give it your all; do not expect the academy to make exceptions for your mistakes!”

“I tell you, this is impossible!”

The white-haired boy spoke loudly, directly dispersing the air, silencing all noise and creating a stillness.

All the candidates fell silent and began the tests in order of their numbers.

The test is conducted in groups of ten, assessing the Four Dimensions in turn.

“First test, power level!”

“This test measures the actual destructive capacity of the Three Major Techniques. Everyone, take the Spiritual Attire in front of you, limited to inputting ten units of spirit energy to activate the Spiritual Law!”

Light screens rose up before the ten candidates. They knew this special material would absorb the impact force and display the scores.

“Boom!”

The examinees didn’t have time to think further. They took the ring-shaped Spiritual Attire at the shooting platform and directly inputted their spirit energy.

With ten units of spirit energy fully inputted, the ring-shaped Spiritual Attire gathered it at the center and then suddenly shot out, transforming into a spirit energy ball that struck the light screen.

“C, qualified.”

“D, unqualified.”

“C, qualified.”

“……”

As the results were announced, nearly half lost their eligibility.

Zixue Academy’s standards are very strict; a C evaluation is considered an extremely outstanding talent in the outside world, but here, it barely hovers around the elimination line.

“Next group.”

Following their order, the candidates took turns for the power test. About a thousand candidates were present, and each group only took about a few seconds.

After testing for about four hours, it was finally Yun Ye’s turn at noon.

He was in the last batch.

Moreover, the examinees in his group also completely surpassed those in earlier groups. It seemed intentional to separate them; the better the scores, the later the testing order, preventing any impact on the mindset of other candidates.

“Last group, finish the test and then we’ll have lunch!”

The white-haired boy shouted, his gaze subtly landing on Yun Ye, not even glancing at the other candidates.

“……”

Yun Ye stepped forward, taking the spirit ring, while others stood in position, preparing for their assessments.

In this brief moment, the world in Yun Ye’s eyes shifted, many futures flashing by.

It wasn’t that he was bored; on the contrary, it was his intuition warning him.

“I can’t input too much power, or the spirit ring will shatter. Although such situations are the school’s responsibility and candidates won’t lose their eligibility to test, it can be very troublesome. A bureaucratic figure in the school’s higher level could directly reject admission due to the inconvenience, and one might have to go through many twists and turns to regain the right to retest.”

Yun Ye watched a thrilling story unfold, but he preferred not to participate personally; he respectfully declined any trouble.

Immediately, he infused spirit energy into Wanling Zhenshi, delivering a detailed record of the higher-ups’ evidence of wrongdoing to Wanling Group.

The message contained just a few words: "Send it in."

At Wanling Group, in the chairman’s office.

A young man sat in a chair, his thoughts racing. He suddenly sat up straight: “Hmm… School Council, Zhang Jutan?”

“How did Zhang Jutan offend such a big shot before even being admitted? How did they manage to gather such detailed evidence? Is this a joke?”

The Red Heaven realm is shrouded by Dao artifacts; while different continents have different regulations set by these devices, committing crimes is extremely difficult.

One might even say it is impossible.

Because of this, the evidence appears terrifying, as it comes from outside, from the multiverse, which is beyond the jurisdiction of Dao artifacts!

No wonder it went straight to Wanling Group, stripping him of all power. Such a background, capable of easily eliminating members of the school council, is quite frightening.

Zixue is one of the five major schools; all council members are influential figures. Wanling Group must treat them with caution. If possible, even with evidence, he wouldn’t want to offend Zhang Jutan. At most, he could leverage the evidence to establish connections and use Zhang Jutan, but killing him outright would be out of the question—what a shame…

This is an order.

There was no room for choice.
