"It seems that the special black nails are used to determine the strength of divinity."
Su Ping, Joanna and Tang Ruyan stood in the crowd and waited patiently. The divine sons and daughters who had been recommended would take the test first; it would be their turn after they were done.
But there was nothing to argue about; it didn't matter who took the test first.
However, not everyone had the same thought. A few people were quite uncomfortable. They had to go through the trials one by one, but after waiting for ten days, they had to wait for a group of guaranteed entry candidates to take the exam first. This caused them to feel a chill in their hearts, and they even had some opinions about the academy.
In the sky, the divine sons and daughters of various races stepped forward one after another. When some of them stepped forward at the same time, the middle-aged man with a star-shaped crown would pick them.
After the first divine daughter named Ling Yin, the second and the third took the test one after another. However, they only had three black nails and one black nail respectively. The disparity surprised and made everyone nervous. They didn't expect that there would be such a huge gap in divinity between the divine sons. Judging from the results, the second and third divine sons would most likely fail the test.
The two of them also realized that; they looked awful.
Soon after, the others took the test one after another.
There were twelve black nails on the golden stones. As far as they knew, the highest divinity was to light up twelve black nails. However, they didn't know what the Heavenly Path Academy's standard was. Some of the people who had finished the test were anxious, including Ling Yin who had lit up seven black nails.
She had always been the top student since she was a little girl.
If the test was a hundred points, she would definitely get a hundred.
However, she had only lit up half of the twelve black nails. If the Heavenly Path Academy's standard was ten, she would fail the test.
However, she was more or less relieved when she saw that the rest of the people had lit up even fewer nails.
Soon after, exclamations came from the crowd. A handsome red-haired young man had eleven golden nails!
He was only one nail away from perfection!
He was the one with the strongest divinity so far.
For a moment, everyone fixed their eyes on the young man. They were surprised to see that he wasn't a divine son of a high-level god race. It seemed that divinity had nothing to do with bloodline.
The red-haired young man was also surprised and delighted. He believed that he could pass the test with such a result. After all, he had performed the best among the hundreds of divine sons!
Beside him, the three elders from the Heavenly Dao Academy looked at the red-haired young man with a gentle gaze and nodded slightly. They seemed to be quite satisfied.
"It's almost his turn."
Tang Ruyan said in a low voice.
By the time the red-haired young man finished his test, the lines had been lined up. it would be the divine son of the Lin Clan's turn very soon.
There were a total of five Divine Children from the Lin Clan who had come this time. That young man stood at the very end. If one were to observe carefully, they would notice that the other Divine Children seemed to be slightly alienated from him.
News of the Lin Clan's Chaos Bell being rung had already spread. Many other high-level God Clans had also received the news, but because the Lin Clan felt that this matter was a disgrace to their reputation, they suppressed it. Therefore, the other clans felt that it might be the Lin Clan's Shenzi who had rung the Chaos Bell. However, only the Lin Clan knew that they had driven away a genius who had rung the Chaos Bell.
. That human genius would have shed tears of gratitude if the Lin Clan had done him a favor. He would have been willing to sacrifice his life for the Lin Clan.
Although the Lin Clan Sovereign didn't punish the divine son in public, the other divine sons were using the matter to attack him. They were working together to exclude him, hoping to have one less competitor.
"His divinity must be weak!"
Tang Ruyan wrinkled her nose and snorted as she looked at the divine son of the Lin Clan in the line. She didn't participate in the battles with the Lin Clan, but she had been killed many times. She remembered the divine son who didn't care about lives.
"It's hard to say."
Su Ping shook his head. He didn't think much of it.
He didn't even know if he could join the Heavenly Path Academy. He didn't care if the divine son of the Lin Clan could get in.
He wouldn't mind finishing the divine son of the Heavenly Path Academy if he joined the academy at the same time as the divine son. He could even kill a disciple of the academy if he could.
Joanna had said that the Heavenly Path Academy used to be great, but that was because the academy had sacrificed its predecessors. It had nothing to do with the divine son who had just joined.
"Hmm!"
Tang Ruyan was still angry since Su Ping didn't mind at all. She didn't agree with Su Ping's attitude.
Soon, it was the divine son of the Lin Clan's turn.
The first divine son of the Lin Clan appeared to be gentle and handsome. There was a mark of lightning in his left eye, which made him look quite mysterious. People were whispering, "Lightning Eyes. The divine son of the Lin Clan is indeed terrifying."
"He was born with lightning eyes. I heard that he can sense lightning at birth. He can master the rules of lightning when he can understand things. Also, the lightning eye contains destructive divine power. It's one of the ancient special eyes. I heard that he can become a Divine Lord!"
The others were talking in a low voice with envy.
Soon, the divine son of the Lin Clan with lightning eyes put his hand on the black ball.
The black ball soon turned golden. The golden color spread until the six black nails were dyed golden.
When it reached the seventh one, it stopped after being dyed halfway.
The test stopped.
The middle-aged man with a star-shaped crown nodded calmly and gestured for the next one.
The divine son of the Thunder Eyes was unhappy to see that the middle-aged man didn't react in the slightest. Ever since he was a kid, his performance had always been amazing. However, the middle-aged man seemed to be used to it. Not even his lightning eyes could make the middle-aged man show any surprise or attention, which made the divine son of the Thunder Eyes uncomfortable.
Of course, he kept that thought to himself. He nodded with a smile and left.
Behind him was a divine daughter of the Lin Clan.
She stepped forward and lit up the black nails. There were nine of them in total!
The third person only had one.
The fourth person had three.
Soon, it was the fifth person's turn. It was the young divine son who had forced Su Ping to hit the bell.
"Mo Feng of the Lin Clan!"
The young man stepped forward and announced his race and name. Then, he put his hand on the black ball as usual.
A moment later, a golden color appeared on the black ball and was gradually transmitted. Soon, the black nail was dyed golden. However, there was only one nail. Mo Feng was stunned.
Apparently, he didn't expect his divinity to end there.
His eyes darkened, and so did his heart. Although the results weren't announced, he knew that his performance was most likely a failure.
"Damn it!"
His face was gloomy as he clenched his other fist. If he couldn't enter the Heavenly Academy, he would get fewer resources. Among the five of them, one had lit up nine!
"Go back. Next one."
Beside him, the middle-aged man with a star-shaped crown saw the young divine son's unwillingness and anger. He also knew the cruelty of the competition between the various divine sons. However, he didn't feel anything. This was the way of survival for each race. There would be winners and losers. If there was anyone to blame, they could only blame themselves for not having the right mentality.
He had no sympathy for those who didn't have enough divinity. He knew what it meant.
Mo Feng's face was gloomy as he turned and left. He didn't even bother to salute.
Among the five divine sons of the Lin Clan, the divine daughter with the best performance was smiling like a flower. Among the five of them, she had lit up nine nails. She had a higher chance of entering the Heavenly Academy. This way, the resources she would get would quickly surpass the others. It would lay a solid foundation for her to compete for the strongest divine son in the future!
The other four looked gloomy. They lowered their heads and didn't speak.
As time passed, the various divine sons in the sky finished their tests one after another. Among them, the highest was eleven black nails. As for the lowest, even the black ball didn't change. At one point, people even thought that the divine stone had lost its effectiveness. However, when others touched it, it was still normal. This became the lowest result.
"That person should be considered to have no divinity. I didn't expect such a person to be a divine son of a high-ranking divine race. It's terrifying."
"Tsk tsk, and it's a woman. If the other divine sons from the same clan who competed with her knew about this, they would probably tremble in fear."
"This woman is definitely a ruthless character!"
The others discussed in low voices and remembered this woman.
When the woman saw the results, she was a little surprised. However, when she noticed the commotion she had caused, a cold glint flashed in the depths of her eyes. She quietly returned to her seat.
After the divine sons and divine daughters finished their tests, it was Su Ping's turn.
Soon, everyone was enthusiastic. Under the arrangement of the middle-aged man with the star-shaped crown, everyone lined up.
"Hmm?"
With a gloomy face, Mo Feng, who was thinking and scheming, suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He was slightly startled and immediately looked over. He immediately realized that he wasn't mistaken.
That guy really didn't die!
Moreover, he came to the Heavenly Academy?
Mo Feng's face became gloomier. Once the other party joined the Heavenly Academy, his amazing talent would definitely be revealed. He would quickly gain the attention of the Heavenly Academy and obtain a lot of resources.
"Damn it!"
His mood became even worse. He suddenly felt that today was the worst day of his life.
"A mere human shouldn't have any divinity," he thought.
Soon, the tests began.
Apart from the divine race, there were also vassals of other divine races. Therefore, all kinds of races stepped forward to take the test. Among them were the Divine Bulls with the head of a bull and the body of a human, the Heaven Menders with the tail of a snake, and the Spirits with colorful hair.
What was surprising was that among these vassal races that were not the Protoss, there were actually several people whose divinity had reached eight black nails. There was even a member of the Holy Wings Clan who had lit up ten black nails!
Such a performance caused many of the God race members present to look a little unnatural. There was a strange feeling in their hearts.
Mo Feng's face became gloomier and he clenched his fists.
Right then, it was Su Ping and Joanna's turn.
"You go first," Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan was nervous. She nodded and flew over to the golden boulder.
"Put your hand on it." The middle-aged man with the star-shaped crown looked at Tang Ruyan with a strange expression. Clearly, he had seen through Tang Ruyan's rank. She couldn't have passed the previous tests, unless someone had helped her during the tests.
Is a human … a servant of a certain divine race?
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows but didn't think too much of it. Tang Ruyan was weak but the Heavenly Path Academy was a place where students could become stronger.
No matter how weak they were, they could become powerful warriors!
The prerequisite was that they had to pass the tests to be qualified to be trained by the academy.
Tang Ruyan put her hand on the black sphere. Soon, the sphere lit up and a golden glow emerged. One black nail, two black nails, three … She didn't stop until the seventh one.
Tang Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief. She was nervous and regretful at the same time. She believed that seven crystals was the best result so far. She was not sure if she could pass the test. She could have passed if she had eight or nine crystals.
But she didn't expect that she would be able to light up seven nails.
Did she have that much divinity in her?
"Am I a good person?" Tang Ruyan murmured to herself. She began to admire herself. She raised her head and looked at the divine race warriors around her. She suddenly felt that she wasn't the weakest one there.
"What?"
Joanna was surprised. She didn't expect that Tang Ruyan would be able to do that. Considering the number of people who had taken the test, Tang Ruyan's result was above average.
Su Ping was surprised. Tang Ruyan didn't have any divine energy, but she was still able to trigger such a strong divinity. That was beyond his expectations.
No wonder divinity had nothing to do with the bloodline of the divine race. Maybe, it was a special feature of the soul.
"I wonder what my soul is like," Su Ping said to himself.
He stepped forward and stood in front of the golden rock.
Su Ping had a feeling that the stone in front of him was like a huge eyeball that was looking down at him. All his thoughts and secrets seemed to have been exposed to it.
"Is the Tear of the Gods … really that miraculous?" Su Ping put his hand on the black sphere under the middle-aged man's command.
It was cold. Su Ping looked at it expectantly. However, nothing happened after a long while.
Su Ping was stunned. He was speechless when he remembered the goddess who couldn't even light up the black sphere.
Could it be that he had killed too many and caused the divinity in his body to be extinguished?
But, I'm really a good person!
I don't have the courage to help the old lady. I leave early and return late. I abide by the law. I'm definitely a good person!
While Su Ping was about to cry, the black sphere suddenly glowed with a golden light. The golden light quickly spread out. In the blink of an eye, the first nail was lit up, then the second, the third …
One nail after another. The golden light stopped when the ninth nail was lit up. Su Ping had lit up nine and a half nails.
"Phew."
Su Ping breathed in relief. That was close. He was almost scared to death.
Could it be that the Golden Divine Stone heard the call of his heart?
The middle-aged man with the star-shaped crown was surprised. There was something wrong with the golden rock. Why was it a bit slow?
He looked at the three old men next to him. They didn't say anything, so he didn't think too much about it.
Su Ping left and went to Joanna. He gave her an encouraging look. "Keep it up!"
Joanna seemed to be quite nervous. She was breathing slowly. She looked at Su Ping, nodded, and flew to the golden rock.
