Bai Yi chuckled and said, “This mirror is called the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror, and it is a heavenly-grade spirit tool!”
Upon hearing this, an uproar arose among the crowd. Spirit tools are divided into four grades: yellow, mystic, earth, and heavenly, corresponding to the four stages of martial cultivation: Physical Training, Meridian Condensation, Spiritual Mansion, and Heavenly Might. A heavenly-grade spirit tool is something only the invincible strong of the Heavenly Might stage would possess.
The Azure Cloud Academy had actually brought out a heavenly-grade spirit tool for the assessment. Moreover, this was just the examination venue in Flowing Moon City. Every time the Azure Cloud Academy held an assessment, not only in the capital but also in some larger county cities, examination venues were set up. How many heavenly-grade spirit tools were used for testing?
“The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror is quite miraculous, and it has a special function… When each of you stands in front of this mirror and performs the martial techniques you have cultivated, the mirror will give a corresponding evaluation,” Bai Yi explained with a smile. “This mirror can be said to be extremely perceptive. As long as you are a martial artist below the Heavenly Might stage, when you demonstrate your martial techniques in front of this mirror, it will evaluate you based on your depth of understanding and mastery of the techniques. This has been verified by generations of martial artists in our Azure Cloud Academy.”
“And now, what you need to do is to perform the martial techniques you have learned in front of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror,” Bai Yi continued.
Upon hearing this, many of the twenty-eight people breathed a sigh of relief. The third round sounded much simpler than the first and second rounds. It meant that in front of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror, they would perform their martial techniques, and this heavenly-grade spirit tool would give an evaluation. Clearly, the evaluation would also be divided into different levels.
Bai Yi smiled and said, “The mirror’s evaluation is divided into eight levels: lower, middle, upper, genius, peerless genius, extraordinary genius, born sage, and… Son of Destiny.”
At this moment, everyone realized something unusual. For example, the first and second rounds of assessment only had seven levels, but this third round had eight levels!
“In this third round, reaching the genius level is still considered passing. And once you pass the third round, you can become a disciple of our Azure Cloud Academy,” Bai Yi announced.
This time, many of the young people who had made it to the third round were eager to try.
“I’ll go first,” Wei Zixuan from the Wei family stepped forward and said impatiently. He was quite confident in the martial techniques he had cultivated. In terms of control and proficiency, the other twenty-seven people might not be stronger than him!
“What do you mean ‘you come’?” Bai Yi asked with a puzzled expression.
“I mean, I’ll be the first to be assessed!” Wei Zixuan was even more surprised.
Hearing this, Bai Yi smiled and said, “Don’t rush.”
At this moment, Bai Yi waved his hand, and the ten disciples stepped forward.
“You twenty-eight people are all at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Physical Training stage. What I want you to perform in front of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror is not the martial techniques you have cultivated, but… the martial techniques these ten people will demonstrate for you,” Bai Yi explained with a smile. “These ten people will each perform a set of fist techniques, palm techniques, swordsmanship, knifework, spear techniques, and so on, a total of ten yellow-grade spirit techniques. You can choose the one you are most skilled at.”
“For example, if you like swordsmanship, choose to observe the sword technique; if you like knifework, choose to observe the knife technique,” Bai Yi continued. “Each of these ten people will perform three times. After three performances, you will have an hour to practice. Then you will start performing the chosen spirit technique in front of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Mirror. Once you have completed the performance, you will receive an evaluation!”
Upon hearing this, the twenty-eight people who were eager to try looked at each other in confusion and were completely stunned. They were supposed to perform a martial technique they had only observed three times, instead of one they had practiced themselves, in order to get an evaluation! This… was a joke!
