Early in the morning, the gate of Donghua Dao School, which was 1,500 meters above Donghua City, was already crowded with people.
Zhou Bai squeezed into the crowd. Looking at the noise around him, he felt uncomfortable and said, "So many people are here for the exam. How long is this going to take?"
Then, it was time to line up and register. Zhou Bai followed the others into the school.
First, it was a basic physical test, including height, weight, bone age, health, and whether they had been infected by Spiritual Opportunity.
After the basic test, it was time for the main event, the Primordial Soul Value test.
Zhou Bai stood in the middle of the line. Looking at the lines around him moving forward, he walked to the Primordial Soul Detector to test his Primordial Soul Value.
Some of the candidates were pale and nervous.
Some were calm and composed, appearing to be full of confidence.
Suddenly, a cry rang out. A girl was seen hugging her teacher and refusing to leave the testing machine.
"I beg you! Please let me take the test again. " The girl cried, "I didn't sleep well last night. I was too nervous just now. Give me another chance. I will do my best."
In order to be fair, everyone's test results were enlarged and displayed on the big screen. The girl's Primordial Soul Value was also displayed there. She was only one point away from the 30-point Primordial Soul Value.
The invigilator shook his head. "You've already taken the test three times. Come back next year."
"No, I'm already 20 years old. I won't have a chance next year. Please, please let me try again …"
Bang! The invigilator knocked the girl out decisively. Every year, there were too many people like her who cried in pain because they failed an exam.
After all, the four major Dao Schools were the only schools in the world. They represented the most elite strength of mankind.
Materially speaking, this place represented the best cultivation resources. Spiritually speaking, this place was the best channel to fight against the Extraterrestrial Demons and realize the dreams of protecting the country and reviving the human race.
In this apocalyptic era, it was the place that countless young people yearned for the most.
Zhou Bai shook his head. If this young lady did not pass this trial, she would either join the army, join a small sect, or be assigned a job by the Celestial Court. However, no matter which path she chose, it would not be as good as becoming a student of a Dao academy.
A few minutes later, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd on the other side. Zhou Bai looked over and saw a young man standing in front of the testing machine. The result showed the number 99.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Oh my, a genius? It's my turn to be in the limelight later. "
After that, there would be some exclamations every once in a while. It was the genius students who had reached 99 Primordial Soul Value in this batch's entrance test.
Just as it was about to be Zhou Bai's turn, an unprecedented shout rang out. Countless examinees looked over, and their faces were filled with shock.
A huge 105 appeared on the big screen displaying the test results. Everyone couldn't help but lower their voices and discuss it.
"Are you kidding me? Someone actually has a Primordial Soul Value of 105?"
"What kind of joke is this? Didn't they say that the highest is only 99?"
"Who's that guy? Could he be a genius who had already cultivated before entering the academy and had a Dao Transformation Degree that exceeded 0%? "
A cold-looking, slender, and long-haired man casually looked at the result with a Primordial Soul Value of 105 and walked off the stage.
Zhou Bai looked at the man on the stage with a Primordial Soul Value of 105 with displeasure. 'I thought that my Primordial Soul Value of 99 would be the best in this batch and could increase my passing rate. But in the end, there's a 105? '
"Zhou Bai!"
Upon hearing his name, Zhou Bai walked up. With a thought, he injected the Power of Primordial Soul into the spherical testing machine floating in midair.
Instantly, the number 99 appeared on the big screen. This time, no one exclaimed. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of having a Primordial Soul Value of 105.
"Tsk!" Zhou Bai pursed his lips and followed the line to the next examination venue.
…
At that moment, in an office, a few Dao School teachers were watching the entrance test through the surveillance screen.
"There are a total of 12000 students who passed the first round this year." A white-haired old man sighed and said, "There are fewer and fewer children with Dao cultivation talent. The heavens really don't bless us humans."
"Principal, although the number of people has decreased, the number of elites has increased." A young lady with sword-like eyebrows, a ponytail, and a leather jacket said, "There are 25 candidates with a Primordial Soul Value of 99. There's even one who has already entered the Dao and has a Primordial Soul Value of 105."
The female teacher said thoughtfully, "The distortion of Tendo is gradually worsening. For ordinary people, cultivation is getting more and more difficult. However, for geniuses, the process of obtaining power is even faster. "
The old man, Zhao Shouyi, who was called the principal but was actually the vice-principal, nodded. "A Primordial Soul Value of 105? Could it be that Zuo family's Zuo Dao? "
"It's him. This kid's talent is astonishing. I'm afraid his future achievements will be limitless, "the female teacher praised." He's very likely to be the first place this time. "
…
On the other side, with the end of the first test, the number of candidates was refreshed to 12000. They were randomly assigned to different venues for the second test.
Zhou Bai and the other candidates stood on a square. Although there were still endless buildings floating above their heads, the whole square was as bright as day under the artificial sunlight.
Zhou Bai stood where he was and listened to Cristina. "Zhou Bai, I've definitely been here before. I'm so familiar with this place."
Zhou Bai looked at the bright and clean Dao school, which could not be compared to the surface area below. He sighed and said, "Compared to the surface, it's like the difference between the rich and the poor."
At this moment, a voice sounded beside Zhou Bai's ear. "Although the environment above is good, it's also more dangerous to face battles.
The layout of Dong Hua City is that the higher the level, the larger the area and the more powerful cultivators there are. It's like layers of defense protecting the bottom.
This is to defend against the attacks of the Sky Demon, and the powerful cultivators above will protect the weak below. The ground where the people are is actually the safest. "
Zhou Bai turned around and saw a young girl in sportswear with short hair standing in front of him. She smiled and said, "I'm Jing Xiu. You're Zhou Bai, right?"
Zhou Bai asked, "Do we know each other?"
"I was in the same team as you for the Primordial Soul Value test. We're both people with a Primordial Soul Value of 99," Jing Xiu said with a smile. "Although there's a second and third round of tests, people with a Primordial Soul Value of 99 have never been eliminated in the second and third round. You should also know what kind of willpower and comprehension is needed to achieve this before the age of 20. "
Zhou Bai agreed and said, "Yes."
"So …" Jing Xiu smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, classmate."
"Hello." Zhou Bai shook hands with her.
