38: Chapter 38 Zhenwu Academy

Outside Xuanfeng City.

Qin Xiao led his wives, concubines, and maidservants, along with Ye Tian, Yang Hao, his grandson Qin Zhenyuan, his sixth granddaughter Qin Tianmei, and a team of guards, grandly entering the city.

They then arrived at the villa the Qin Family had prepared earlier.

In a few days, the Zhenwu Academy's admissions instructors would arrive in Xuanfeng City, where they would conduct their recruitment.

All forces in Xuanfeng County wishing to send their Family disciples to Zhenwu Academy would arrive in Xuanfeng City a few days in advance to prepare for the Zhenwu Academy's admissions assessment.

Zhenwu Academy is the largest academy in Great Wei, backed by the Great Wei Dynasty and the Imperial Family. Its strength is formidable, beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Zhenwu Academy has a Supreme Academy located in Shenjing City, the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom, and twenty-four Advanced Academies, each located in the provincial capitals of the twenty-four states.

Zhenwu Academy has cultivated a large number of talents and powerhouses for the Great Wei Dynasty. Its status is special, not subject to local officials or forces, and even the Imperial Court cannot interfere with the academy's educational work.

Furthermore, Zhenwu Academy also possesses various Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Medicinal Pills, and Cultivation resources. As long as you have the ability, talent, and enough contribution points, you can acquire anything you desire.

Even Earth-Grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are something Zhenwu Academy is willing to offer.

Therefore, it attracts countless young people, who fight tooth and nail, trying every possible method to enter Zhenwu Academy, hoping to seize an opportunity to rise above others.

Of course, Zhenwu Academy's admission requirements are also very strict. One must Breakthrough to the Acquired Realm before the age of 18, and this is only the minimum threshold; you must also pass other assessments.

Thus, those who can enter Zhenwu Academy are all one-in-ten-thousand Geniuses of the younger generation, individuals with outstanding talent.

Zhenwu Academy's admissions never consider background, only talent. As long as you have talent, even if your Family background is ordinary and you are impoverished, you can still step through the gates of Zhenwu Academy.

Moreover, the instructors in Zhenwu Academy possess abundant resources, with their Realm being at least Late Stage Innate Realm, their strength comparable to some Family Old Ancestors in prefecture cities.

A few days passed quickly.

The Zhenwu Academy's admissions assessment was held today in the Inner City Plaza.

When Qin Xiao and his group arrived at the Inner City Plaza, the plaza was already packed with people as far as the eye could see, bustling with activity.

Countless young people were frantically pushing towards the center of the plaza. If it weren't for the City Lord's Mansion dispatching guards to maintain order, the plaza would have long since devolved into chaos.

Of course, Qin Xiao and his group did not squeeze in with that crowd; instead, they went to another area.

This was an open area surrounded by a fully armed army. Only individuals with power and background in Xuanfeng City could enter.

The Qin Family, to which Qin Xiao belonged, met both criteria, so they also had the privilege of entry.

After presenting their identity tokens, Qin Xiao's group was quickly allowed inside!

"Husband, it's so lively here!"

Ye Suxin sighed as she looked at the crowded people, amazed that a single admissions assessment for Zhenwu Academy could attract so many people.

"Indeed, it's lively. Tens of thousands of people are watching!"

Qin Xiao also nodded. Such a bustling scene was rare even for him.

The center of the plaza was enclosed in a circle, with thousands of seats arranged on both sides. Many seats were already filled with prominent figures from Xuanfeng City.

The Qin Family's seats were in the front row, an area exclusively for Innate Realm forces, accessible only to those whose forces had an Innate Realm powerhouse presiding.

At the front of their area, there were ten more luxuriously decorated tables and chairs, presumably for the Zhenwu Academy instructors.

"Your Excellency, are you Senior Qin?"

As Qin Xiao and the others just entered, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and large ears, dressed in black, who had reached the Innate Realm, approached them with three young people.

"Yes, may I ask, Your Excellency, what is the matter?"

Qin Xiao looked at the middle-aged man, asking in confusion. It was clear he didn't recognize this person.

"Senior Qin, hello. I am Luo Yuan, the Family Head of the Luo Family. I have long heard of Senior Qin's esteemed reputation, so I specifically came to pay my respects!"

Luo Yuan expressed his intention with a chuckle.

"Haha! Family Head Luo is too kind. I, an old man, only Breakthrough to the Innate Realm at such an old age. What reputation is there to speak of?"

Qin Xiao laughed heartily, disregarding Luo Yuan's praise, and instead praised the other party.

"On the contrary, Family Head Luo is in his prime and has already Breakthrough to the Innate Realm. I imagine he has hope of Breaking Through to the Magic Power Realm. Now that is a truly heroic figure."

"Senior Qin is joking. Breaking Through to the Magic Power Realm is incredibly difficult. Luo Yuan would be content to reach the Ninth Level of the Innate Realm."

Luo Yuan also smiled at Qin Xiao's praise. As the saying goes, flattery gets you everywhere; who doesn't like to hear pleasant words?

His gaze towards Qin Xiao immediately grew a few degrees warmer.

"Come, come! Senior Qin, since this is your first time in Xuanfeng City, I imagine you don't know many people. I'll introduce everyone to you here!"

Luo Yuan came to Qin Xiao's side, smiling and speaking enthusiastically.

"That's the Family Head of the Wang Family, Wang Zhen. The two next to him are his two sons, Wang Tianyu and Wang Tianchen. Both are young Geniuses and their strength is not weak."

Luo Yuan pointed to a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, who was corpulent with a round face, looking like a merchant.

Qin Xiao looked over, and the two young men from the Wang Family, one had reached the Acquired Realm (Fourth Level), and the other had reached the Acquired Realm (Third Level). Their strength was indeed not weak.

"That's the Family Head of the Lu Family, Lu Tianxiong. Behind him are his daughter, Lu Miaoer, and his nephew, Lu Shaohu..."

Luo Yuan then pointed to a middle-aged man in a long gown, with a square face, deep eyes, a refined demeanor, and an aura surrounding him.

Qin Xiao followed Luo Yuan's gaze, and when he saw Lu Miaoer, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Lu Miaoer appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a tight outfit that outlined her graceful curves. Her face was plump and rosy, as delicate as a blooming peach blossom.

Her entire being exuded a youthful maidenly aura. Beneath her arched eyebrows were a pair of sparkling large eyes, and a faint dimple graced the corner of her lips. Her long black hair, like a waterfall, cascaded over her shoulders. She was clearly a complete beauty.

"High Grade, not bad."

Qin Xiao had his own grading standard for women's appearances, using a hundred-point system.

Below 60 points were all Low Grade.

From 60 to 80 points were all Medium Grade.

From 80 to 90 points were all High Grade.

From 90 to 100 points were all Premium Grade.

Above 100 points were Super Grade.

And for Lu Miaoer, Qin Xiao's score was 88 points, High Grade, approaching Premium Grade.
