142: Chapter 142: Spiritual Testing Monument

As the elder from the Dynasty Academy, who was leading the group, finished speaking, several Disciples dressed in the Dynasty Academy's exclusive attire stepped out from behind him and walked onto the plaza.

"I am Yun Tian, the Chief Disciple of the Dynasty Academy. This entrance test will be overseen by me and a few other Academy Disciples."

"I will remind everyone present one last time: all participants in the assessment test are forbidden from making loud noises or causing trouble. Otherwise, their test opportunity will be immediately revoked, and they will be directly expelled."

"Do you all understand?"

After scanning the surroundings, Yun Tian gave a brief introduction before reminding everyone again.

Hearing Yun Tian's words, the young talents gathered in the plaza, who had come to participate in the Dynasty Academy's recruitment, all respectfully cupped their hands and responded loudly. Of course, Ling Lei and the other four were no exception.

"Yes, we understand!"

"Since that is the case, everyone, please line up in an orderly fashion. The test will begin shortly."

Upon hearing this, Yun Tian nodded with satisfaction and then spoke again in a clear voice.

After speaking, he stepped forward a few paces and waved his hand.

"Swish..."

In an instant, a massive stone tablet suddenly appeared beside him. The ancient stone tablet was filled with an incredibly mysterious Qi, and faint white light constantly moved across its surface.

"Everyone, this is the Spirit Testing Tablet, specially crafted by our Dynasty Academy for recruitment. It can directly test a Martial Artist's age, Cultivation talent, and Cultivation base. After a series of comprehensive evaluations, it will assign a certain evaluation Rank."

"The Spirit Testing Tablet's evaluation Ranks are divided into six Ranks, from lowest to highest: 'Unqualified,' 'Qualified,' 'Good,' 'Excellent,' 'Outstanding,' and 'Peerless.'"

"As long as the comprehensive evaluation Rank reaches 'Good,' one can enter our Dynasty Academy to Cultivate and become a White Robe Disciple. If one achieves an 'Excellent' evaluation Rank, or even 'Outstanding' or 'Peerless,' they can not only directly enter our Dynasty Academy but also be directly inducted as a Green-Robed Disciple, and even directly compete for a spot to participate in the Xuantian Continent Trial."

"Perhaps some of you are aware of the Disciples' divisions within our Dynasty Academy, but there might also be some who are not. To help everyone clearly understand the difference between the White Robe Disciple and Green-Robed Disciples I just mentioned, I will briefly explain it to you all here."

"Our Dynasty Academy's Disciple Ranks are divided into three categories. The first category is the Gray Robe Disciple, who are specifically responsible for managing various miscellaneous affairs within the Academy. After completing their work, they can Cultivate on their own. If they encounter any problems during Cultivation, they can consult the ordinary teachers in the Academy. Although Gray Robe Disciples are the lowest-Ranked Disciples of the Dynasty Academy, the resources they obtain within the Dynasty Academy are far greater than what they would receive without entering the Academy."

"The second category is the White Robe Disciple, similar to the Outer Sect Disciple in some Sects. They only need to diligently Cultivate, with elite teachers from the Academy responsible for their instruction."

"The third and final category is the Green-Robed Disciple, similar to Inner Sect or Core Disciple in some Sects. They will receive extensive nurturing from the Academy, and the Academy's resources will largely be tilted towards these Green-Robed Disciples. They will be personally guided in Cultivation by the Academy's Vice Dean, or even the Dean himself. Furthermore, only Green-Robed Disciples are qualified to compete for a spot in the Xuantian Continent Trial."

After he finished speaking, before Yun Tian could make any further gestures, a clamor instantly erupted in the plaza. Those who knew each other continuously whispered and discussed amongst themselves.

"Wow, is this Dynasty Academy really that powerful?"

"I wonder what Rank I can achieve in the evaluation? If I could be evaluated as 'Excellent' or higher, wouldn't I instantly soar, become a Green-Robed Disciple of this Dynasty Academy, receive extensive cultivation from the Academy, and even win a spot for the Xuantian Continent Trial, then shine brightly in the Xuantian Continent Trial, gaining the attention of those major powers? At that time, wouldn't I directly reach the Peak of my life?"

"Are you dreaming?"

"Exactly, exactly. You're fantasizing before the test even begins; it's simply wishful thinking."

"Go on, dream your impossible dream. Don't be funny when you get an 'Unqualified' evaluation."

"Go away, go away! You're the one who'll get an 'Unqualified' evaluation!"

..."Cough, cough..."

Hearing the waves of discussion in the plaza, Yun Tian cleared his throat and spoke loudly to the crowd.

"Quiet."

As Yun Tian's voice fell, the previously noisy plaza instantly quieted down.

Seeing this, Yun Tian spoke again.

"All personnel participating in this Dynasty Academy recruitment, please form an orderly line. The relevant Academy assessment will begin immediately."

Upon hearing this, the young people who were previously in scattered groups across the plaza, here a pile and there a pile, all stepped forward and lined up obediently and orderly at the spot designated by Yun Tian and the others.

Soon, the Dynasty Academy's recruitment assessment began.

The first person to be tested was a young man dressed in white, with a serious expression. He skillfully followed the test requirements, approached the Spirit Testing Tablet, and placed his palm upon it.

In an instant, the Spirit Testing Tablet glowed intensely, and a ball of white light instantly enveloped him.

At the same time, within the white light, unnoticed by others, there were also faint golden patterns, incredibly mysterious.

A moment later.

The white light receded, and the young man's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

Simultaneously, a hoarse yet incredibly loud voice came directly from the Spirit Testing Tablet in front of him.

"Li Yundong of the Li family from Suiming City."

"Nineteen years old, Qualified!"

"Martial Dao Cultivation: Profound Martial Realm Late Stage, Qualified!"

"Comprehensive evaluation Rank: Qualified!"

"Can be a Gray Robe Disciple of the Dynasty Academy."

At the same time, Li Yundong's test results were all displayed on the Spirit Testing Tablet.

Seeing this, the Academy Disciple responsible for recording quickly registered his information.

A moment later, after the registration was complete, he loudly called out again,

"Next!"

However, Li Yundong, who had just undergone the evaluation assessment, retreated to the side with a joyful expression, quietly awaiting further instructions. But the smile on his face could no longer hide his current mood. Although he was only a Gray Robe Disciple of the Dynasty Academy, even a Gray Robe Disciple was not something one could become just by wanting to...
