Following the arrow signs within the Dao Academy, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Chicheng Mountain half an hour later.
As expected, a seven-story building, resembling a pagoda, stood tall here.
The entrance was covered by a Formation, but Chen Mobai’s student ID served as a pass. After a quick swipe, he freely entered the highest building on Chicheng Mountain.
Soon, he arrived at the principal’s office on the seventh floor.
“Come in!”
After a series of knocks, the voice that had called him earlier came from inside.
Walking in, he saw a silver-haired old man standing next to the conference table.
“Hello, I am Chen Mobai.”
“Ah, you’re the earliest one here. Sit for a while, there are thirteen more people to come.”
The silver-haired old man smiled and nodded at Chen Mobai.
He introduced himself as Che Yucheng, the head of the Dao Academy’s teaching department.
“Hello, Teacher Che.”
Before long, two more students entered, respectfully greeting Che Yucheng, who responded with a smile and asked them to sit down.
After waiting for about half an hour, everyone else had arrived, except for one person.
Che Yucheng frowned slightly, made a phone call, and then shook his head helplessly.
“Zhong Li Tianyu has some matters to attend to and can’t come for now. Let’s start without him.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.
He hadn’t expected the last person to be Zhong Li Tianyu. With his talent and conditions, could he also be assigned to a mentor who didn’t care, just like himself?
“I mentioned the reason for calling you here on the phone.”
“Among the Dao Academy, there are two Divine Transformation methods, and only you thirteen new students have chosen to practice these two methods.”
“The Pure Yang Scroll is fine. After Ancestor Yuanyang’s improvement, as long as you are willing to put in hard work, you can get started, but the progress will be slow.”
“But the Can Tong Qi requires considering many factors and has many restrictions. Since you have such ambitions, the academy will naturally provide you with the maximum support.”
“First, we need to confirm your qualifications to see if they match the Can Tong Qi, and whether there are suitable items in the Immortal Gate for you.”
Che Yucheng stood at the front of the conference table, said a lot with a smile, then turned around and pointed to a full-length mirror in the corner of the principal’s office.
The mirror was about two meters tall and half a meter wide, with rounded corners and a dark red wooden frame. It looked very simple.
“This is the principal’s magical treasure, the fourth-grade superior Red Heart Mirror.”
“You each go up and stand in front of the mirror. After about three minutes, it will form your most complete personal panel at this stage.”
After Che Yucheng finished speaking, he signaled the nearest new student to go up.
With a series of beeping sounds, a series of current-like fluctuations flickered on the mirror surface, forming rows of text. However, no matter how Chen Mobai looked, he couldn’t see what the content was.
“Alright, you can come down now.”
Che Yucheng called the new student down, then pressed the printer on the principal’s desk.
Immediately, more than a dozen pages were printed out.
Che Yucheng looked at them, confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, nodded, and handed them to the new student.
“Keep this for yourself. The academy will keep an electronic version for future use.”
Chen Mobai was worried. His spiritual root had been supplemented by the special products of the Tianhe Realm, and the values were a bit over the standard. He didn’t know if the Dao Academy would investigate this.
However, at this point, there was no reason to back down.
When it was his turn, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and stood in front of the Red Heart Mirror.
Amid the beeping sounds, he found that he could see the content on it.
It was his spiritual root value, the route of spiritual power circulation in his body, the degree of meridian opening, the age of his body, the state of the two spiritual power vortexes in his Dantian Qi Sea, and even the most mysterious Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, all reflected the outline of a seedling…
It turned out that the text and content reflected on the mirror could only be seen by the relevant person.
“Huh, your innate Yuan Qi seems to be much more abundant than ordinary people, and the total of your spiritual root attributes has exceeded 100.”
Che Yucheng briefly glanced at the printed content and was slightly surprised when he saw the spiritual root section.
“My mother was pregnant with me in the mountains, so maybe I was nourished with more Yuan Qi.”
Chen Mobai could only make up such an excuse. Fortunately, although it was rare for the total of spiritual roots to exceed 100 in the Immortal Gate, it was not unheard of.
“How far have you cultivated your Pure Yang Body?”
After reading, Che Yucheng looked up and asked a crucial question.
“I’ve just cultivated the First Yang.”
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to answer truthfully.
Hearing this, Che Yucheng looked even more surprised.
He looked down at the spiritual root values again.
【Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10】
The total was 117 points. The First Yang Body reduced Water and Wood by 3 points each and added 9 points of Fire, so it was easy to calculate Chen Mobai’s original spiritual root attributes.
That is to say, the original spiritual root value was 114 points!
This kid’s innate Yuan Qi was too abundant.
But Che Yucheng just noted it in his heart and didn’t say it out loud. He handed the thirteen pages of paper to Chen Mobai, then signaled the next person to go up and look in the mirror.
In no time, everyone in the office had completed the step.
Then, Che Yucheng led them to the laboratory on the first floor.
The laboratory was empty in the middle, but on both sides against the wall, there were transparent, faceless, eye-bearing, screen-headed mannequins of human size.
Chen Mobai counted, there were fourteen mannequins in total.
“These are the Faceless Mannequins, the highest masterpiece of our Puppetry Department in the Dance Instrument Academy and the Human Bionics Department in the Sentence Mang Academy. They can perfectly simulate the operation and breakthrough of human techniques.”
As everyone was wondering, Che Yucheng began to introduce the transparent mannequins to them.
“I will input the body model data of you all, reflected by the Red Heart Mirror just now, into the Faceless Mannequins, and then simulate the various problems and levels you will encounter when practicing the Divine Transformation technique.”
“If you can successfully complete the Foundation Establishment, the academy will not stop you from practicing the Mutual Agreement or the Pure Yang Scroll. But if you can’t evolve to the Foundation Establishment step, it means that you are not suitable for practicing the Divine Transformation technique, and we will advise you to give up.”
“Of course, if you insist on practicing no matter what, the academy will respect your choice.”
After finishing speaking, Che Yucheng inserted the USB drive in his hand into the port at the back of one of the Faceless Mannequins’ heads.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the interior of this life-sized transparent mannequin began to show meridians, bones, and internal organs.
Finally, the faceless face began to transform into a face identical to the newborn next to Chen Mobai.
The embedded eyes on both sides were two digital dials, and it was unknown what they were for.
Just as Che Yucheng activated the mechanism of the mannequin, the screen on its forehead began to change constantly, eventually forming the phantom of a long sword.
At the same time, the mannequin’s left eye began to slowly rotate, and the number dialed from “zero” to “one”.
