"Damn it!"
Among the Lin Clan's Divine Sons, Mo Feng saw Su Ping's performance, and his face quickly darkened. A score of nine and a half was considered top-notch among the performances so far.
If Su Ping couldn't pass, then at least ninety percent of the people who participated in this assessment would be eliminated!
Once Su Ping passed, the Heavenly Academy would definitely discover this human's talent and invest a lot of resources into him. It would not be a good thing for the Lin Clan or for him!
As Mo Feng's eyes flashed, Joanna had already stepped forward to take the test.
Soon, the black ball turned golden. Then, the first black nail, the second, the third … One by one, the nails lit up at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, ten nails lit up, and it didn't stop until the eleventh and twelfth nails were all lit up!
Completely lit up!
At this moment, the whole place was silent. Countless people were shocked. This was the only person so far who had dyed all the black nails gold!
Soon, someone noticed Joanna's aura. She was from the Yuanji Clan.
Rumor had it that she had some unclear relationship with the ancient Titan Clan.
The Titan Clan was a relatively old, high-level God Clan, and one of the strongest clans. However, something happened later, and they gradually declined. In the last night, they disappeared, and no one knew where they went. Since then, the vassal clans of the Titan Clan were gradually occupied by other God Clans and became vassals of other God Clans.
For some reason, the Yuanji Clan did not become a vassal of other God Clans. However, due to their limited potential, they could only barely maintain the bloodline of a middle-level God Clan.
Next to her, the middle-aged man with a star-shaped crown who was in charge of recording was also stunned. He looked at Joanna and suddenly realized something. He was a little surprised, but when he saw the completely lit black nails, he turned to look at the three elders in the distance and saw that they were all surprised and appreciative. He immediately knew the answer and quickly recorded it down.
"Very good. You may leave," the middle-aged man with a star-shaped crown said with a smile.
Joanna looked at the test results in front of her and was a little stunned. She did not expect her divinity to be so high. She had known the use of the Golden God Stone before, but she had never thought of testing her divinity. After all, it was illusory and had no practical effect on her combat strength.
But no matter what, this result seemed to indicate that she would definitely be able to enter the Heavenly Academy.
If nothing went wrong …
Joanna glanced at the three elders and found that they were also sizing her up. Their eyes were very gentle, and they had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be admiring her.
This made her heave a sigh of relief.
Returning to Su Ping's side, Joanna's tense body relaxed. She couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of being able to enter the Heavenly Academy. If she could catch the attention of a powerful warrior in the academy, it would be easy for her to transfer the Demigod Burial to the Archean Divinity.
"Your divinity is so high?"
Su Ping was just as surprised as Tang Ruyan. That was a new record!
Originally, the three of them were in an inconspicuous place. However, after Joanna broke the record, they felt many gazes converging on Joanna and sizing her up.
"You didn't cheat, did you?" Su Ping whispered.
Joanna regained her senses and rolled her eyes at him. "Who dares to cheat here? Do you think I'm as cunning as you?"
"You're not any better." Su Ping found it strange. He had never seen Joanna as a warm-hearted person. Her divinity was off the charts. Wasn't she a saint?
Or was it because the divinity had nothing to do with kindness?
Su Ping was confused. The only thing he was happy about was that the result seemed to be good. Tang Ruyan, the one with the worst performance among them, had seven nails. She had a 50% chance of being accepted.
"Now, we're the center of attention."
Su Ping whispered.
Joanna said indifferently, "Not us. Us."
"…"
Su Ping was speechless.
The test went on. As time went by, everyone finished the test. There were some who had ten or even eleven black nails. But apart from Joanna, no one had a full set of nails.
When everyone was done, the middle-aged man with the star-shaped crown closed the divine book in his hand. The divine brush also dissipated. He looked at the three old men and gestured for them to start.
The elder on the right, who looked more rigid and serious, said in a cold voice, "You have all finished testing your divinity. Now, let's talk about the admission criteria."
As soon as he said this, everyone's ears perked up.
"Those who can light up seven or more nails will be accepted. The rest of you will have to work on your temperament. If you're interested, you can come back in the future," the old man said in a cold voice.
A commotion immediately broke out in the crowd. Those who just happened to have seven divine nails let out a sigh of relief. Those who had six divine nails were unwilling to give up. As for those who only had one or two divine nails, they had already guessed the result. At this moment, the last trace of hope in their hearts was extinguished. They could only sigh in sorrow.
"I didn't know that seven was the standard. If I had known, I wouldn't have lit up nine."
"Only seven and he's accepted? It would be great if he had ten."
"Damn you. You think you're the only one with ten?"
Some in the crowd cheered while others frowned.
Mo Feng's face was gloomy. When the test results came out, he knew that he would most likely fail. Now, his last hope was gone. He looked at the Goddess of the Lin Clan beside him. She was the only one who was accepted among the five of them.
His eyes were a little strange. They were like a poisonous snake with a dangerous aura.
The others beside him also glanced at the Goddess.
"Those who failed the test, you have two choices."
At this time, the kinder old man standing in the middle of the three old men said, "The first is to leave the Heavenly Dao Academy and continue to train. The second is to join the Heart Reflection Institute of the Heavenly Dao Academy and cultivate your divinity. If you succeed in your cultivation and reach the standard, you can still join the Heavenly Dao Academy."
"Heart Reflection Institute?"
"I think I've heard of it. It's a place that specializes in cultivating one's temperament. I heard that it only teaches some general principles. It's useless."
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
"Now, those who choose to leave, please stand to the left." The old man raised his hand and pointed to the void on the left. Immediately, a space that looked like a bubble appeared. Those who were willing to leave would be sent away.
Many people shook their heads and gave up. Instead of wasting their time listening to the general principles and refining divinity in the Heart Reflection Institute, they would rather spend their time cultivating.
After all, joining the Heavenly Dao Academy wasn't the only way to become a powerful warrior.
Divinity wasn't something that was indispensable on the way to becoming stronger.
Many powerful warriors without divinity could still dominate a region and become peerless geniuses, making their names known across the Divinity.
Su Ping and the others who had passed the test stood to the side quietly, waiting for further instructions.
"I don't think that guy has left."
Tang Ruyan whispered all of a sudden.
Su Ping looked over and saw that Mo Feng, the young Divine Prince of the Lin Clan, was still standing there. The other three losers next to him didn't move either.
Many Divine Princes and Goddesses from other races didn't move either. It seemed that they all wanted to stay.
The Heart Reflection Institute is more than meets the eye. To be exact, the Heavenly Dao Academy means a lot to them, Su Ping said to himself.
The competition between the Divine Princes was cruel. The Heavenly Dao Academy was an important factor for them to compete for the title of the strongest Divine Prince in the future. Therefore, they had to win the Heavenly Dao Academy no matter what.
Soon, more than half of the people chose to leave and one-third chose to stay.
Those who stayed behind were led away by another old man.
Su Ping and the others who had passed the test were officially admitted to the Heavenly Dao Academy as students under the announcement of the kind old man.
"After joining my Heavenly Dao Academy, I hope that all of you will aim to reach the highest point. May I ask, what is the highest point of our God World?" The smile on the old man's face disappeared and a majestic aura was naturally emitted.
"The Ancestor God!"
A daring Divine Son shouted from the crowd.
The old man looked at the Divine Prince and nodded. "Yes, the Ancestor God! I hope that all of you will aim to become an Ancestor God! "
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Many of them felt like they were dreaming. How many years had it been since an Ancestor God was born? Every time an Ancestor God appeared, it would shake the world and reshuffle the entire structure of the Divinity.
"Cultivation is a great mountain."
"This great mountain is full of thorns and tribulations. You need to overcome your own weaknesses like laziness, lust, vanity, and so on. You need to become one with this mountain like a stone. Only then can you continue to move forward and climb up!"
"I'm not forcing you. I just hope that all of you will have a heart that strives to be the strongest. With such a heart, you will be able to avoid any temptations you encounter in your future cultivation. The path of the strongest does not allow for rest, nor mistakes. Therefore, you will be even more demanding of yourself!" Meng Hao's voice was filled with excitement.
The old man said to the crowd.
Everyone's expression was solemn and their blood was boiling.
Cultivation was an extremely painful thing. It was more painful than most things in the world. Therefore, it required an extremely strong heart to persevere.
"All of you have just joined, so you don't know your nature. Our Heavenly Dao Academy has three great academies. They are the Heaven Punishing Academy, the Heaven Mending Academy, and the Heaven Mudding Academy. There will be teachers who will explain it to you in detail. You can choose on your own or have teachers recommend you. Each academy has a different style. You will know the specifics when the time comes."
After the old man finished speaking, his figure faded away and he left the place.
The middle-aged man with the star-shaped crown, who was responsible for recording, waited for a minute after the old man left before he said, "Students, since you have just joined our academy, I will bring you to the academy's mountain. There will be teachers who will explain it to you. If you have any questions, you can ask. From now on, you are students of our Heavenly Dao Academy. I hope that you will abide by the academy's rules. Violators will be severely punished."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the sky where everyone was suddenly transformed into a starry sky filled with purple flames. This seemed to be the middle-aged man's world.
Not long after the purple flame appeared, it disappeared again. The surroundings were no longer on the square, but on a towering mountain peak.
Are these the methods of an Ascendant State expert? They can use the power of a world without leaving a trace, Su Ping thought.
He did not feel that he had just been put into a small world. But in fact, they had indeed been put in there. If the other party had wanted to hurt them, they would have been killed. After all, in the other party's small world, all the rules and order were controlled by the other party. Even if they were at the same level, they would be at a disadvantage.
…
They arrived at the academy's mountain.
Very soon, many experts flew over; they were all wearing the academy's robes. According to the introduction, they were the academy's teachers.
Su Ping was quite familiar with the aura of the Ascendant State experts by then. He found that all the teachers were in the Ascendant State; they were obviously more terrifying than the Ascendant State experts he had seen in the Federation.
Are those mentors all Heavenly Lords in the Ascendant State? Su Ping thought.
Very soon, the teachers explained the academy's rules to him.
The Top Three Academies were also explained.
The Heavenly Punisher Academy focused on combat skills. The disciples of the academy were required to take on dangerous missions. If the academy was attacked, the Heavenly Punisher Academy would be the first to take care of the chaos.
The Heaven Mender Academy, on the other hand, taught all kinds of defense and rescue skills.
The Heavenly Punisher Academy, on the other hand, taught all kinds of miscellaneous skills, including some ancient and lost secret techniques. There were all kinds of secret techniques.
Su Ping and Joanna had different ideas when it came to choosing academies. Joanna chose the Heavenly Punisher Academy; she seemed to have a deep affection for the academy when it fought against all the heavens.
Su Ping chose the Heavenly Punisher Academy. Although the combat skills were strong, he was more curious about other things.
Tang Ruyan thought for a moment and chose the Heavenly Punisher Academy instead of the Heaven Mender Academy; she was also fond of fighting.
"Unfortunately, you won't be able to stay for long." Su Ping felt it was a pity that they had chosen different academies. They could only study there for a limited amount of time. After all, they were only there because of the employee benefits. If Su Ping had brought them there, they wouldn't have been able to enjoy the resurrection mechanism.
They would really be dead if they were killed there.
Su Ping didn't dare to take the risk. After all, there were too many experts in the Archean Divinity to count. He could be in danger at any time.
"I'll ask the experts in the academy to see if they can move my world here," said Joanna.
