Chapter 1607 - 1608: Registration Begins
Chapter 1607: Chapter 1608: Registration Begins
Ye Mo wanted to enter the Immortal Martial Academy naturally because of the guidance from Star Cloud. His Guardian surely wouldn’t harm him, and the Immortal Martial Academy was the most powerful academy on the Open Heaven Continent. Ye Mo believed that as long as he played to his strengths and climbed step by step, he would eventually make a name for himself in the Immortal Martial Academy, reducing the gap between himself and Xiao Yue.
Moreover, the top ten ranks in this freshman potential ranking examination would receive rich rewards, such as Pei Yuan pills, Immortal Artifacts, or even Martial Arts Manuals.
So, regardless of whether he needed to defeat Xuanyuan Ze, Ye Mo intended to compete for the ranking this time.
And this ranking was not based on strength, but on natural talents. The stronger your talents, the higher your new student ranking would be. Therefore, this freshman ranking from the Immortal Martial Academy greatly stimulated some martial artists. Even those who initially intended to apply to other academies wanted to come to the Immortal Martial Academy to test their own talents.
The registration and examination point of the Immortal Martial Academy was set up in the plaza of the Immortal Spirit City, and this plaza was right in front of the city mansion. Due to the large number of people, the Ling Yue Group had already deployed many Immortal Spirit Army personnel to cooperate with the teachers of the Immortal Martial Academy to maintain order.
Ye Mo had not yet entered the plaza, but the scene before him indeed shocked him. There were tens of thousands of martial artists registered, and it was almost certain these martial artists could successfully enter the Immortal Martial Academy.
The entry standard of the Immortal Martial Academy was that the age should not exceed 1000 years, and the cultivation should reach the Sub-Immortal Realm. Those who thought they met the criteria naturally came to register; if not, they wouldn’t bother themselves with failure.
"It’s said that this time, Lin Yonghao and Long Tianxiao from our Immortal Spirit City will both register for the Immortal Martial Academy. Presumably, this time the top spot in the new student rankings of the Immortal Martial City will be between the two of them."
"You’re mistaken. A month ago, the Second Prince of the Fengling Dynasty, Xuanyuan Ze, came to the Immortal Spirit City to propose to Ling Shan, and he’s planning to directly participate in the registration and examination here."
"What? Xuanyuan Ze is also participating in the registration and examination in the Immortal Spirit City? It’s said he’s one of the top talents in the Capital City; presumably, this time, the first place in the new student potential ranking belongs to him."
"Naturally, even in the Capital City, Xuanyuan Ze has the strength to compete for the top spot in the new student potential ranking. It’s said he has already comprehended four types of laws. If he goes a step further and integrates all five laws, he can immediately reach the Immortal Class Realm."
"Look, here comes Xuanyuan Ze!"
A voice emerged from the crowd, and the crowd automatically parted into two waves. Xuanyuan Ze, along with two followers, directly headed towards the registration point.
The registration point was managed by an old man with a white beard. Watching those preparing to register voluntarily step aside, the old man also furrowed his brow slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he looked at the young man approaching.
As Xuanyuan Ze looked at the old man, he also restrained himself and said with measured respect, "Respected teacher, I am Xuanyuan Ze, the Second Prince of the Fengling Dynasty, registering to enter the Immortal Martial Academy."
"Xuanyuan Ze?"
The old man with white eyebrows raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren’t you in the Capital City? Why are you coming to the Immortal Spirit City?"
"I came to the Immortal Spirit City for some matters and took the opportunity to register here."
Xuanyuan Ze explained respectfully. Although he was a prince, the teachers of the Immortal Martial Academy were all powerful, and they didn’t care whether he was a prince or not.
"Place your hand on the Immortal Spirit Stone. If it glows red, you qualify. Later, there will be a potential assessment that will specifically analyze your data, and the comprehensive score will determine the ranking. I’ve heard you’re one of the top talents in the Capital City. Don’t disappoint me."
The old man with the white beard said calmly. He was in the Immortal Spirit City for a mission, and recruiting some talented martial artists would reflect well on him. He hadn’t held high hopes since smaller cities like Immortal Spirit City couldn’t compare with the Immortal Metropolis, but seeing Xuanyuan Ze register made him somewhat pleasantly surprised.
"Yes!"
Xuanyuan Ze nodded, placed his arm on the Immortal Spirit Stone, and unsurprisingly met the standards, with the red light flashing exceptionally brightly.
The crowd watched in amazement, and Xuanyuan Ze smiled, took the Earth Tier student’s token from the old man with the white beard, and left the crowd, waiting for the potential assessment.
The Immortal Martial Academy was divided into three tiers: Earth Tier, Heavenly Boundary, and Divine Realm students. New students entering the Immortal Martial Academy were Earth Tier students.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Ze saw Ye Mo and snorted with a cold smile as he approached and said, "Didn’t expect you, kid, to have some skills, even able to win over that woman Ling Shan."
"I naturally have skills, unlike some who only know how to use force and aren’t afraid of getting a back strain from old age."
Ye Mo responded with a cold smile.
"Who are you calling old?"
Xuanyuan Ze became angry. He was only about 300 years old, a newcomer among martial artists, and Ye Mo had the nerve to call him old.
"Naturally, you. How dare you touch my woman?"
Ye Mo said coldly.
"Ha, what a big mouth."
Xuanyuan Ze laughed loudly, and then his face turned dark, "It seems Ling Shan has already told you everything. Then you should also know about Ling Shan’s bet with me. When the potential assessment comes, and my rank crushes yours, I will invite you to watch Ling Shan and me perform."
"I just fear you don’t have the ability."
Ye Mo smiled slightly and directly bypassed Xuanyuan Ze as he walked toward the registration point.
The registration examination lasted an entire day and night, with over ten thousand martial artists registering. The next step was a potential test. In other words, potential was another term for natural talents.
Every year, the Immortal Martial Academy received millions of students, and anyone could apply. However, getting accepted was one thing; truly enrolling required paying an entrance fee of 5 million Immortal Stones.
Despite the high tuition fees, there were still many martial artists eager to enter the Immortal Martial Academy.
At this moment, a vast open space had been cleared in the center of the plaza. The old man with the white beard was sitting in the middle, suspended in front of him was a giant Crystal Ball. Around the Crystal Ball, three seals floated, seemingly forming an intricate Array.
"Everyone, the potential test will now begin. It’s specifically for martial artists in the Snatching Immortal Rank. Non-Immortal Position martial artists can take their tokens and report to the Immortal Martial Academy within a month; latecomers will not be entertained."
The old man with the white beard said.
Although Sub-Immortal Realm experts weren’t qualified to participate in the potential test, they stayed behind, wanting to see which talents would emerge among this year’s freshmen.
"Ling Shan is here. Isn’t she already a special recruit of the Immortal Martial Academy? What’s she doing here?"
At this moment, a voice arose from the crowd, and following the direction of the speaker’s gaze, everyone saw Ling Shan in a black skirt slowly approach.
The appearance of Ling Shan instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Ling Shan was renowned for her talent in the Immortal Spirit City. Even the Earth Tier students of the Immortal Martial Academy were aware of this special recruit, Ling Shan, and knowing she was going to join the academy, she had already become their ideal to pursue.
