“Everyone, please quiet down!”
The murmurs gradually faded away, leaving the entire area in silence.
The young man standing in mid-air, dressed in white, was Bai Yi, one of the three examiners and the youngest among them.
Bai Yi smiled and said, “I am Bai Yi, a mentor of the Qingyun Academy. Today, by the order of the academy, I am here in Liuyue City to open the examination venue and oversee the assessment!”
“Allow me to introduce the others. This is Elder Tang Chuyi of the academy.”
“And this is Murong Ying, a mentor of the academy.”
Bai Yi introduced them with respect, and the crowd around them burst into applause.
The Qingyun Academy was a sacred place within the entire Qingyun Empire. Every student, mentor, and elder who emerged from the academy was a figure of great respect.
Bai Yi continued, “I won’t waste any more words. Now, let me explain the rules of the examination.”
“First and foremost, the conditions.”
Bai Yi’s tone suddenly became serious. “The age must be between sixteen and eighteen years old, and the cultivation level must not be lower than the seventh level of the Physical Training Realm!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into a flurry of discussions.
It was common knowledge that martial cultivators usually began their cultivation at the age of thirteen or fourteen. To require that those who were at most eighteen years old must have reached at least the seventh level of the Physical Training Realm was an extremely demanding condition. This meant that within a span of just four or five years, one had to progress from the first level of the Physical Training Realm to at least the seventh level.
This was an exceedingly stringent requirement!
In a place like Liuyue City, reaching the Meridian Condensation Realm was already considered the pinnacle of strength. Those who were at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Physical Training Realm were considered elite fighters. While there were some cultivators in Liuyue City who had reached the seventh level, most of them were in their thirties or forties. To reach the seventh level before the age of nineteen was nearly impossible for ninety-nine percent of people.
No wonder it was the Qingyun Academy!
This single condition was enough to dash the hopes of the vast majority who aspired to enter the academy.
Bai Yi, however, seemed unfazed.
If one could not reach the seventh level of the Physical Training Realm by the age of eighteen, their talent was simply not up to the standards of the Qingyun Academy.
“Those who meet the conditions can proceed to the registration area in the training ground to sign up and provide their personal information.”
“Let me also remind everyone that the information must be accurate. Once you pass the examination, the academy will send dedicated disciples to investigate. If any discrepancies are found, your eligibility to enter the academy will be revoked!”
“Furthermore, I advise you not to conceal your true age. The academy has specialized age-detecting stones. Even if you are just a day over eighteen or a day under sixteen, you will not be admitted!”
Hearing these words, many of the participants who had been confidently preparing for the examination began to feel anxious.
Bai Yi’s words clearly put immense pressure on a large number of people.
“Registration will begin in half an hour. Those who miss the deadline will not be accommodated.”
After speaking these words, Bai Yi turned and descended back to the main platform, waiting quietly.
At this moment, outside the crowd, people began to form lines gradually.
The Ye family group was among them.
Ye Qingfeng, Liu Yuemei, Ye Feifei, He Bo, Ye Wushuang, Xiao Yuan, Qing Shiyu, and Xu Qiuyuan were all present.
Moreover, early this morning, Hall Master Mo Xuan and Miss Mo Xiao had also arrived, accompanied by a group of elite fighters from the Soul-Devouring Hall.
The Soul-Devouring Hall had failed to react to the events that had occurred in the Ye Mansion last night and had been severely reprimanded by Xu Qiuyuan this morning.
Even now, Mo Xuan felt a lingering sense of fear.
He wouldn’t mind if the Ye family perished, but if Xu Qiuyuan had died there, he wouldn’t have enough lives to compensate!
No one knew what the Qin, Wei, and Yun families might do before the examination today.
However, so far, it seemed that none of them had any intention of targeting Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang and Xiao Yuan stepped forward to register.
Ye Feifei clenched her fist and said with a grin, “Brother, go for it.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring back first place for you.”
“Okay!” Ye Feifei’s face turned red with excitement.
Ye Wushuang and Xiao Yuan walked together towards the registration area.
At that moment, a figure approached them, staring directly at Ye Wushuang with a cold and lethal aura.
