Every cultivator on the field wanted to calm themselves down, but the joy of success surged through their minds in waves. Except for a few, most of the participants were feeling a bit disoriented.
However, Jiang Yuqi began to feel a headache. According to the rules of Supreme Academy, the first round was supposed to eliminate fifty percent of the participants, the second round forty percent, and the third round thirty percent. This ensured that nearly a thousand students remained each year. But this time, things had gone a bit crazy; over ninety percent of the participants had been eliminated in the first round. If they continued to follow Supreme Academy's regulations, there wouldn't be many left.
Snow Red Swallow also noticed this issue. The two were troubled and found no solution, ultimately placing their hopes on Zuo Dao. With him around, they felt it would be enough. They just hoped that the higher-ups wouldn’t blame them too harshly.
In the first round, everyone had sustained some injuries; it was a necessary price to pay. Jiang Yuqi also gave everyone time to heal.
At this point, Zuo Dao couldn’t help but become interested in the remaining two rounds. The assessments from Supreme Academy were indeed intense; they had nearly wiped out all participants in just the first round. This misunderstanding was quite remarkable.
After some recovery time, the assessment for the second round was announced. However, when Zuo Dao heard about this task, he was momentarily stunned.
Second Round: Completely exhaust your spiritual energy in the shortest amount of time.
What kind of nonsense was this? What aspect of ability was this assessment testing? But there was no time for anyone to ponder these questions. Jiang Yuqi quickly started the timer.
In an instant, it felt as if a grand fireworks display had begun on the field.
The red represented Fire Attribute spiritual energy, green represented Wood Attribute, white represented Water Attribute, and golden metallic spiritual energy was the most abundant on site. The yellow Earth Attribute lagged far behind compared to the other four types.
Fortunately, the square was enormous; as the cultivators unleashed their spiritual energy wildly, they didn’t have to worry about harming others or about excessive Spirit Energy affecting their own energies and causing catastrophic explosions.
Zuo Dao was also calculating how long it would take for him to exhaust his own energy. However, after much consideration—until everyone else on the field lay sprawled like dead dogs—he still hadn’t come up with an answer. So he decisively pushed this question aside.
Without needing to approach, he could sense the situation among everyone in the dojo. Looking at them, Jiang Yuqi smiled slyly.
"It seems that some of you still haven't listened to my words!" Without further explanation, he directly sent the ten or so Cultivators flying out of the square.
"Thoroughly means thoroughly; what use is there for Cultivators like you who hold back in secret?"
If the people present still didn't understand, they would truly be fools.
Zuo Dao felt puzzled about why Jiang Yuqi wanted these Cultivators to exhaust their Spirit Energy. Although it was beneficial for the Cultivators, it had no effect on the assessment. Looking at the recovery speed of the Cultivators? At least in Zuo Dao's understanding, there were more than ten types of pills that could quickly replenish consumed spiritual energy.
Watching those who could still stand in the square, Jiang Yuqi smiled.
"You have passed the second round of assessments, but don’t celebrate too early. Only after passing the third round can you truly be considered students of Supreme Academy."
Although the students who passed all knew this was the second round, it was far too easy compared to the first round! They couldn't even believe they had made it through the second round so easily.
"In fact, you should really thank Zuo Dao. Without him, your second round would not have been so easy. The specific reasons will become clear once you enter Supreme Academy."
At this moment, Jiang Yuqi suddenly mentioned Zuo Dao, leaving many students confused. Except for a dozen or so who showed no reaction, the rest displayed expressions that suggested they were trying to understand.
"Each of you standing here can be considered a pride of Star Domain. However, I must tell you that with your Realm cultivation placed in the depths of night, you are nothing. Whether you believe this or not, once you enter Supreme Academy, you will understand. As your Examiner this time, I just want to warn you—do not be deceived by external things."
Jiang Yuqi was in a very good mood and spoke a bit more. Snow Red Swallow still wore her previous expression and said little.
After thousands of years since the last opening of the academy, there was unexpectedly a great surprise; both of their moods were inevitably a bit excited. The other students in this assessment appeared rather unimpressive in their eyes.
Regarding Zuo Dao, although there were doubts, respect was essential for a Cultivator of the same Realm. Moreover, given Zuo Dao's alarming youth, as long as he passed the night’s Antique trial, his future would undoubtedly be bright.
There was no need to fawn over him, but a moderate display of goodwill was acceptable.
With the second trial concluding in such a manner, even the chief examiner seemed satisfied, and the students were naturally pleased to accept it.
Outside the square, a commotion erupted as veteran Cultivators from earlier times appeared. They were astonished by the high elimination rate this time. Having lived through that era, they knew a bit about the inner workings. Ultimately, it could only be attributed to the rule changes made late at night.
The biggest winners this time were Spirit Sword Mountain and the faction Phoenix Valley, where the two women resided. Thanks to Zuo Dao, these two factions had already secured their spots early on, especially Spirit Sword Mountain, as both Zuo Dao and Tai Shu Yun hailed from there.
When news of Zuo Dao's achievements surfaced, everyone felt a sense of regret—how did Spirit Sword Mountain manage to benefit so easily? The most shocked were the elders. Upon hearing that Zuo Dao had single-handedly breached the blockade set by the two examiners of Supreme Academy, they realized he indeed had the qualifications to secure a spot. They were well aware of what kind of existence the teachers within Supreme Academy represented.
After commanding their faction to establish good relations with Spirit Sword Mountain and Phoenix Valley, they paid no further attention to this assessment and returned to their secluded training.
The third assessment began, and Zuo Dao along with the Three Women became spectators once again due to their exemption from testing. However, upon hearing the rules for the third assessment, Zuo Dao finally decided not to dwell on it any longer.
The third assessment: exhaust one’s spiritual energy completely in the shortest amount of time.
It was truly unexpected; when Jiang Yuqi announced this rule, all remaining Cultivators turned their gazes toward Zuo Dao. Was it because of him again?
But soon they had no time to ponder as the timer began.
At this moment, Zuo Dao leisurely spoke to the Three Women: "Having witnessed two free fireworks displays in a row makes us the first ones here. Especially since those performing might become prominent figures in Star Domain in the future; I really regret not recording this segment!"
Three Women couldn't help but chuckle; in their eyes, only Zuo Dao would say something like that at this moment.
Having learned from past experiences, none of the Cultivators dared to hold back. They were eager to squeeze every ounce of potential from within themselves. When the final results were announced, everyone was taken aback.
Among the remaining hundred, an astonishing fifty percent had been eliminated. Of course, Jiang Yuqi's explanation left those eliminated Cultivators speechless.
"The reason only these fifty passed is simple: they were the only ones who maintained a combat state even after exhausting all their spiritual energy."
Some wanted to argue, but recalling Jiang Yuqi's formidable presence, they swallowed their words.
The first enrollment of the Supreme Academy in a thousand years concluded under Jiang Yuqi's rather irresponsible circumstances. In the entire Great Star Domain, some laughed, but they were few; notably, Spirit Sword Mountain and Phoenix Valley were among them.
The list of new students for the Supreme Academy was officially released in the Star Domain, totaling fourteen people, including:
Zuo Dao, Huang Xishi, Feng Miaomiao, Tai Shu Yun, Mu Shuiqing, Tian Shaoyun, Liang Wentao, Huo Niansheng, Chen Chu, Fang Shao, White Youth, Innocent, Shang Qingfeng, Shallow Into Night, White-Haired Sorrow, Li Qing, Zhao Yuanfang, Qian Sheng, Qu Ru Ge, You Do Not See, Feng Yikong, Yan Zhen, Teng Chong, Ping, Yan Zi, Yan Hong, Do Not Delay...
Looking at the familiar names one by one, a smile spread across Zuo Dao's face.
Supreme Academy, here I come!!!
