After hearing Lan Haitian’s words, the representative of Mending the Sky Dao Academy furrowed his brows and proposed a possibility.
“What if the final first place doesn’t meet the admission score line for our four major Dao academies, what should we do then?”
“Isn’t that even better? We would have a legitimate reason not to admit any.”
Lan Haitian’s words left everyone present stunned, then they all understood.
The admission requirements of the four major Dao academies are very strict, basically preferring quality over quantity every year. This has led to many cultivators in society criticizing them for monopolizing the most cultivation resources of the Immortal Gate, but unwilling to contribute to the public, being too selfish.
The Immortal Affairs Hall, one of the three major halls of the Immortal Gate, as the highest organ in charge of all departments of the thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, conducts a public opinion survey every ten years.
The public’s criticism of the four major Dao academies has accumulated for hundreds of years, and it is time to respond. Therefore, this year, the head of the Immortal Affairs Hall specially invited the dean of the Dao Academy to set the theme of the entrance examination.
The requirement is that as long as the first place in the competition meets the admission score line, the four major Dao academies cannot refuse the student’s admission.
Finally, to avoid the phenomenon of exam migration, the Immortal Gate also issued a notice that one must study in a local academy in the heavens and blessed lands for at least one semester before they can take the local entrance exam.
The four major Dao academies also gave face to the head of the Immortal Affairs Hall and agreed.
But when they announced it, they faced strong opposition from within the Dao Academy.
Why was it that in our time, we had to beat two or three million people from the entire Immortal Gate to barely enter the four major Dao academies, but this year it can be so simple.
The four major Dao academies only admit up to 49 students each year.
Adding up to less than two hundred people, they are truly one in ten thousand selected spiritual root Dao seeds.
According to the requirements of the head of the Immortal Affairs Hall, at least one person from each heaven and blessed land, the number may double.
It’s not that the people of the Dao Academy feel unfair, but they feel that lowering the standards will tarnish the reputation of their Dao Academy.
Can this first place from a remote and backward place also enter the four major Dao academies? Does he have the talent?
If you want to enter the Dao Academy, you should be like them, winning from among a million candidates.
But the decision has already been made above, even if the students have grievances, the representatives of the four major Dao academies can only follow the orders of the leaders.
And Lan Haitian’s proposal gave the representatives of the four major Dao academies a legitimate reason to refuse.
Among them, Shang Qing of Sentence Mang Dao Academy didn’t care at all.
Anyway, with Qing Nv, a heavenly spiritual root, their academy’s student quota in Danxia City has been completed in advance.
“That’s good too. If we follow the usual practice, these 47 people may not be qualified to enter the four major Dao academies, and they will eventually flow into the ten major academies. So, mixing the exams together can actually allow the representatives of the academies to better judge the talents and standards of these students.”
The representative of Mending the Sky Dao Academy nodded and said a sentence that made the representatives of the academies pale.
But they couldn’t argue against it, because they really needed to expand their enrollment.
So, everyone’s eyes turned to the Red Robe Taoist master.
The decision still lies with him.
“I think it’s feasible. Let’s do it this way. The entrance exams of the Dao Academy and the academies will be held together, which can also save the resources of my Danzhu Academy.”
The Red Robe Taoist master made the decision, and the representatives of the Dao Academy and the academies had no objections and nodded in agreement.
The clerk below immediately reset the formula for the match on the document, and then mixed all the 47 Dao Academy and 233 academy quotas.
With a swipe, a new match table was generated.
“Make some adjustments, then send it to all the major colleges. The competition will be held in 3 days. Due to the large number of people in the first round, it will be conducted in different sessions…”
After the Red Robe Taoist master looked over it, he added a few points.
For example, students from the same school should avoid each other as much as possible, those with higher realms should prioritize fighting those with lower realms, and try not to let those with higher realms meet in the early rounds, to ensure the excitement of the last few rounds.
After two more rounds of rearrangement, the representatives of the Dao Academy and the academies were all satisfied, so this match table was sent to all the high schools in Danxia City.
…
Classroom 203.
He Jingshan skillfully turned on the projector, first displayed the entire huge match table, then entered the keyword of the fifth high school, and instantly filtered out the match information of each student in the classroom.
“You all record it yourself. There are 140 matches in the first round, 20 matches a day, a total of 7 days. See which day you are scheduled for?”
Chen Mobai looked up at his own, and was lucky enough to be on the first day. His opponent was from the third high school.
Mo Simin even knew him, saying that he was a Qi Refining seventh layer genius with dual spiritual roots, and she compared him to Song Zheng.
Chen Mobai responded with an “oh”, admiring her comparison, which instantly made him understand the level of his opponent.
“Everyone’s luck is not bad, no one has encountered a strong enemy, only Chen Mobai’s opponent Qiao Xingwen is in the late stage of Qi Refining, there may be a tough battle.”
He Jingshan had looked at the match table before he came, and he had a clear idea of everyone’s opponents.
Seeing that everyone in the classroom was looking at him, Chen Mobai had to stop playing with his phone.
Feeling the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Chen Mobai felt he needed to say something.
“Everyone must work hard. As the first place in our high school this time, I will lead by example, strive to defeat the opponent, and uphold the prestige of the fifth high school in Danxia City.”After hearing his words, Mo Simin turned her head away, pretending not to know him.
Song Zheng was also a bit shocked, he didn’t expect Chen Mobai to say something so embarrassing.
“Cough cough, Chen Mobai, I’m glad you have this ambition, but I’ve heard about your opponent, it’s said that he might be close to breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. During the duel on the stage, you should prioritize your safety, surrendering is not shameful.”
He Jingshan felt it necessary to cool down these students. Although the entrance exam is important, it’s not necessary to risk their lives. There’s a long road ahead.
Even among the hundred and twenty prefectures, there have been cases of Elemental Infants.
Remember not to lose your sanity on the stage because of a moment of pride.
After the principal said a lot, he also gave a tip.
“The talismans used in the duel can be changed, as long as they do not exceed the grade and quantity in the rules. If possible, you can change a set after each round of duels, so that your opponents can’t figure out your bottom line.”
Hearing this rule, Chen Mobai felt it was a double-edged sword.
The proficiency of talismans also takes time. Using the set of duels he is most proficient in would definitely be more powerful than unfamiliar ones.
But the principal also made sense. If he encountered an evenly matched opponent and exposed all his spells and talismans, even if he defeated the opponent, the next opponent would definitely prepare restraining talismans.
At this time, changing talismans is indeed a very good tactic, which can disrupt the opponent’s arrangement.
But this makes the duel even more interesting.
Should he first form a set of rarely used talismans as a decoy to attract others’ attention in the first few rounds?
