Lin Yi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. It had to be said that the temptation was too great. Even he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Huang Xiaotao, who was sitting beside him, was also breathing rapidly. It was obvious that she was also tempted.
Ling Yuanqing specially paused for a moment, allowing everyone to slowly digest the shock in their hearts. Only after everyone's breathing had stabilized did he continue speaking.
"Alright, now let's invite our academy's Vice Dean Wei Hebei to explain the selection rules." After Ling Yuanqing finished speaking, he nodded at the fierce-looking man sitting to his right. It seemed that this person was the Wei Hebei he had mentioned.
"Fellow cultivators, our Eastern Continent's Morning Star Yellow Stage Academy only looks at aptitude when selecting disciples, and nothing else. Those with good aptitude can enter, and those with poor aptitude, no matter how deep their background or connections are, it's all useless. Those who walk the unorthodox path will never be able to achieve greatness. You can all supervise each other, and if anyone tries to cheat in the dark, this Wei will be the first to kill them!" Wei Hebei stood up and spoke to everyone.
He similarly didn't need a sound amplification magic tool to speak. Ling Yuanqing's voice could attract people's attention, and Wei Hebei's voice was exactly the same as his appearance. At first glance, it was obvious that he was extremely vicious, as if he would really kill someone at the slightest disagreement. Coupled with his terrifying strength at the Mountain Opening Stage, it caused everyone present to tremble in fear.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe too loudly, and they didn't even dare to tilt their heads. They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they would be misunderstood by the person on the stage as someone who wanted to walk the unorthodox path. Everyone listened as Wei Hebei continued speaking.
"As for the selection rules, they aren't as complicated as you think. There are only three simple requirements." Wei Hebei looked down at everyone and said, "First, your strength must be at least at the Gold Core Stage. This is the most basic threshold, and I'm sure everyone already knows this. Second, those with single Spiritual Roots will be directly eliminated. You must have at least two Spiritual Roots, as this will determine the upper limit of your strength. As for why, those who understand will naturally understand. Those who don't, I won't explain it to you. Find someone else to ask. I don't have the time to explain so much to you. "
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. There were a few people who revealed expressions of understanding. However, the majority of the people were at a loss. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were the same. They didn't understand the second point that Wei Hebei had mentioned. Why did the attribute of one's spirit root determine the upper limit of one's strength? He had no idea what was going on.
According to Lin Yi's previous understanding, the Spiritual Root's attribute indeed determined one's cultivation talent. Especially when it was directly related to the mental cultivation methods and martial skills that one could cultivate. For example, fire attribute people could only cultivate fire attribute mental cultivation methods and martial skills, but it had never been heard of. This actually directly determined the upper limit of one's strength?
Cultivators with multiple Spiritual Roots did indeed have an advantage in the selection of Mental Cultivation Methods and Martial Techniques. It could be said that it greatly affected the strength of one's strength. However, Lin Yi had never believed that this directly determined the upper limit of one's strength.
Only by obtaining enough opportunities. Cultivators with multiple Spiritual Roots could one day become Mountain Opening Experts. Could it be that cultivators with single Spiritual Roots couldn't do the same?
With this doubt in his heart, Lin Yi originally wanted to find the ghostly creature and ask it. However, he changed his mind. Although the ghostly creature was once a peak existence on the Heavenly Stage Island, it was still a Spiritual Beast Clan. Regardless of cultivation method or route, it was completely different from human cultivators. They were two completely different things, so it might not necessarily know about this matter.
While Lin Yi was feeling doubtful, Wei Hebei, who was currently on the stage, didn't bother to explain to the crowd. He directly continued to explain the selection rules.
"Only those who meet the above two conditions can participate in the third test. That is to use your most powerful martial skills to attack the mini test array in front of me. Of course, if someone doesn't specialize in attacking, but in defense, or something else, you can also suggest that this test array can be tested. It's just that the method is different." Wei Hebei paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's all for the selection rules. Now, the staff of the academy will give everyone a test token. Everyone, according to the token number, will take the test one by one!"
After saying that, Wei Hebei returned to his seat. At the same time, a staff member wearing the Morning Star Academy's robes handed out the test tokens to everyone present.
As everyone stared at the staff member, they couldn't help but discuss spiritedly. The East Continent's Morning Star Academy was selecting disciples, and the dean, Ling Yuanqing, had personally made an appearance. With such a huge lineup and such great momentum, everyone had thought that the selection process would be very complicated and harsh. They hadn't expected it to be so simple.
In everyone's expectations, no matter how bad the selection was, they would have to fight each other in order to determine who was stronger. However, they hadn't expected that there would be only three conditions. They didn't even need to fight. At most, they would just have to attack the test array.
However, Lin Yi didn't feel that this was all that surprising. Just thinking about it, there were close to ten thousand people participating in the selection. How much time and energy would it take to arrange rounds of battles and determine how many experts would emerge in the end?
Not to mention that it was very difficult to directly measure a person's aptitude just by looking at the battles. If they didn't meet the most basic requirements of the selection, even if they only arranged one battle for each person, the amount of time and energy needed would be immeasurable. Even if they arranged 200 battles a day, it would still take at least a month!
Moreover, Lin Yi had already heard that the East Continent's Morning Star Academy's disciple selection wasn't just going to end like this. The Zhenduan Sea was only the first stop, which meant that there would be at least a second and third stop. If they did the same thing at every stop, anyone would probably collapse.
If they wanted to quickly and effectively carry out the selection process, there was actually only one way. Just like Wei Hebei had said, there were two hard thresholds. After filtering out a small portion of people, they would be given another chance to perform. If their performance could catch the eyes of the academy's elders, then it would be worth celebrating. However, if their performance wasn't up to expectations, then there was nothing they could do.
"This selection method is quite convenient, but isn't it a bit too simple? Who knows, they might even miss out on a genius." Huang Xiaotao was astonished. Many of the people present had the same doubts as her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome.)
