The superintendent was the leader of the entire Heavenly Gates. Ordinary supervisors were teachers in charge of teaching, while the overall supervisor was an existence that controlled all the supervisors. His status in the Heavenly Gates was considered extremely high. At that moment, when he shouted for them to stop, everyone knew that he was the main person today. The superintendent's speech just now was just a formality, while this person was going to talk about matters that were closely related to everyone's cultivation, as well as the upcoming distribution choice. Whether they would be assigned to the Pill Refinery Hall or the Combat Cultivation Hall depended on this governor's thoughts. Everyone immediately quietened down.
"Currently, there are a total of five batches of pupils in the Heavenly Gates. We will use a point system. All of you will obtain points for your performance in all official cultivation.
"We will use one year as a batch. In every batch, those whose points do not meet the requirements will be directly eliminated. Of course, there will be punishments and rewards. For this year's batch, the pupil with the highest points in each Hall will receive a first-grade Illusory Dragon Pill! "
Even though everyone tried their best to remain silent, many people could not help but exclaim in surprise when they heard about the first-grade Illusory Dragon Pill. They excitedly whispered to each other.
"My god, a first-grade Illusory Dragon Pill … Even if an ordinary person eats it, they can directly advance to the Void Core Realm."
"Ordinary people eat it? You can really think of that. This is simply a reckless waste of natural resources. What is a Void Core? The Illusory Dragon Pill's more important function is to condense in the later stages. If a peak Solid Core eats it when trying to advance to the Gold Core Realm, it will greatly increase the chances of success. It can be said to be the most precious pill in the Land! "
"The person with the highest points in the Combat Cultivation Hall and the Weapon Refinery Hall will also receive it?"
"The Heavenly Gates is really generous this year. In the past, even if the Pill Refinery Hall obtained the highest points, they rarely received an Illusory Dragon Pill, right?"
"It should be because the Tide of Destiny is about to arrive. After all, the Heavenly Gates hopes that a few more talented people can overcome the Life and Death Barrier and ascend."
"But there is no need for both the Weapon Refinery Hall and the Combat Cultivation Hall to receive it … One refinery, while the other practices martial arts. What does this have to do with ascension? Over the past 500 years, the number of people who have ascended from the Weapon Refinery Hall and the Combat Cultivation Hall can be counted on two hands. "
"There's something fishy …"
"Who knows?"
There was a constant buzz of discussion. Chief Supervisor Andrew continued, "The second and third place will each get a Second-grade Glazed Crystal Life Extending Pill."
The Grade 2 Glazed Crystal Life Extending Pill was a panacea for healing injuries. It was said that as long as one still had a breath of life left, it could be saved. At the same time, it could also be used to extend one's lifespan. At the very least, it could extend one's lifespan by three to five years. At the very most, it could extend one's lifespan by ten to twenty years. Depending on the individual's absorption effect and physical condition, it was definitely a rare treasure in the divine territory.
This kind of top-notch elixir was obviously something that even the elites of the various civilizations could not come into contact with. It was extremely difficult to refine. Furthermore, to the experts who wanted to challenge the Tide of Fate, a Glazed Crystal Life Extending Elixir was equivalent to having an extra life. It must be known that the mortality rate of challenging the Tide of Fate was very high. In special environments and under special circumstances, the value of the Glazed Crystal Life Extending Elixir was not below that of a grade-1 Illusionary Dragon Elixir.
"In addition, the top ten students will be exempted from the next term's tuition fees!"
The discussions below became much quieter. It was obvious that most of the people who had the qualifications to come here did not care about this. How could the aristocrats of the top civilizations lack Star Stones?
"However." Chief supervisor Andrew changed the topic and said, "Those who do not pass the monthly point assessment will be directly eliminated. The standards for passing the assessment will not be too difficult. Of course, it will not be too easy either. Thus, those who came here with the mentality of idling can pack their things in advance. The Heavenly Gates is definitely not a place for you to idle around. No matter what kind of background you think you have, it is best not to challenge the rules of the Heavenly Gates!"
Even the most simple-minded fellow would not have such thoughts about challenging the Heavenly Gates. However, they had set up a point-based elimination system but did not directly announce the standards for passing the assessment. It was obvious that they were planning to cut off a portion of the tail. This was not just a matter of not passing the assessment. More importantly, they wanted to create a competitive atmosphere so that others would feel ashamed of falling behind.
The buzzing discussions around them became slightly softer, and the atmosphere started to become more solemn. Wang Zhong and Flying Pig Jhonas instantly sensed many "kind" gazes. Needless to say, everyone's first reaction was to label these people from low-leveled civilizations when they were the last to be eliminated. Previously, they had felt that these two fellows had dragged down the standard of everyone's pupils this term, but now, they immediately felt that these two fellows were much more pleasing to the eye. No matter what, they were a form of insurance for everyone.
In the past, when the Heavenly Gates recruited new pupils, there would be four to five hundred slots, and when there were many, there would not be more than a thousand. This time, there were a total of 1,500 slots. It was obvious that the higher-ups had already planned to eliminate a large number of people.
"Next, we will carry out the assessment of the Three Halls!"
The so-called Three Halls were the Pill Refinery Hall, the Equipment Refinery Hall, and the Combat Cultivation Hall. They were the three main systems of the Heavenly Gates.
Achieving a Gold Core was definitely the final goal of all the pupils in the Heavenly Gates.
Furthermore, the path of becoming a Gold Core in the Pill Refinery Hall was the most orthodox and easiest to follow. Out of every ten Gold Core experts that appeared in the Heavenly Gates, at least nine of them were from the Pill Refinery Hall. Equipment refinery and combat cultivation? Frankly speaking, this was just a sub-division that had been created by the Heavenly Gates. Was there a path to becoming a Gold Core? There was definitely a path. As the saying went, all roads lead to Rome. If all the techniques and paths in the world could be cultivated to the extreme, they could all become Gold Cores. However, this was only in theory. For example, if one wanted to move a large mountain, one could use the method of moving mountains and seas to complete the task in minutes. However, if one insisted on using a small spoon and wanted to dig out this large mountain by the spoon, one could not say that there was anything wrong with the theory, but at the very least, one had to live long enough to do so.
The life and energy of all living creatures were limited. Choosing the correct path was the best way. However, it was obvious that not everyone had the qualifications to cultivate in the orthodox way.
All the new pupils formed three long lines. At the end of the line, there were three supervisors from the Natural race who were examining everyone's spiritual quality.
Spiritual quality referred to the quality of one's spiritual influence. This quality included many aspects, such as the purity of one's spiritual influence, compatibility with nature, emphasis on attributes, and so on. It encompassed many aspects and could reflect one's natural endowments to a large extent. The better the quality of one's spiritual influence, the higher one's natural endowments.
For example, the Pill Refinery Hall had extremely high requirements for natural endowments, followed by the Equipment Refinery Hall. Meanwhile, the Combat Cultivation Hall did not need to look at the quality of one's spiritual power. The three supervisors from the Natural race had a unique sense of spiritual influence. They looked like tree people and bore fruits on their heads. When they placed their hands on the heads of the new pupils, the spiritual fruits on their heads would shine. The better the quality of their spiritual influence, the stronger the light that was emitted.
The first to be tested was the gold Titan Tsarisiya. The spiritual fruit on the Natural race supervisor's head quickly lit up like a miniature sun. Not only was it extremely dazzling, but it also emitted an extremely high temperature. Not only that, but there were even thunderbolts surrounding the scorching sun. It was as if the spiritual fruit on the Natural race supervisor's head had turned into a celestial body. It looked extremely majestic!
"… Tsarisiya, superior-class lightning spiritual quality! Superior-class fire spiritual quality! You can enter the Pill Refinery Hall. "
Even though this was within their expectations, the surroundings could not help but sigh in admiration. They knew that gold Titans were naturally proficient in lightning and fire, but they would still focus on one aspect. They did not expect Tsarisiya to have superior-class lightning and fire spiritual qualities! Regardless of whether it was lightning techniques or fire techniques, they were extremely helpful to pill refinery. A superior-class spiritual quality was definitely a treasure of the Pill Refinery Hall. A superior-class spiritual quality for both attributes was simply unheard of. Even though Lilith, Kakadinme, and the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince were all tested to have superior-grade spiritual qualities, they only had one superior-grade spiritual quality. It was obvious that they had been defeated by Tsarisiya in this aspect.
"… Pigolo, superior-class Yin Moon spiritual quality! You can enter the Pill Refinery Hall … "
A majority of the goblin race focused on the Dark Moon attribute. As long as they were related to the sun, the moon, or other celestial bodies, they had rather good natural endowments in pill refinery.
"… Shannali, second-class spiritual quality! She is close to true fire. However, she is already a level-7 alchemist and can temporarily enter the Pill Refinery Hall … "
The evaluation from above was very fast. Some were happy, while others were sad. For example, the Cloud Mist Faction was a pill refinery faction. Her natural endowments were considered extremely good in her faction, and she had come to the Heavenly Gates to enter the Pill Refinery Hall. However, in this place where top geniuses gathered, her natural endowments seemed very ordinary. She was only evaluated as a second-class spiritual quality. Logically speaking, this kind of natural endowments could only be assigned to the Weapon Refinery Hall. However, the Heavenly Gates did not operate mechanically like the Machinery race in the Star Alliance. They would conduct a more in-depth and comprehensive evaluation. In the end, her identity as a level-7 alchemist and her foundation in pill refinery had helped her and pushed her from the back into the Pill Refinery Hall.
However, there was evidently not much joy on Shannali's face. She had to rely on her identity as a level-7 alchemist to barely enter the Pill Refinery Hall. Needless to say, her natural endowments were definitely at the bottom among the new pupils in the Pill Refinery Hall. Being at the bottom usually meant that she would be eliminated first …
"… Jhonas, second-class spiritual quality. You can enter the Weapon Refinery Hall."
Flying Pig Jhonas had actually been evaluated to have a second-grade spiritual quality. Although the glow of the spiritual fruit on top of the tree supervisor's head was slightly dimmer, it was constant and lasting, unlike those whose evaluations were even lower. Some of them would only flash a little after a long time.
He was so excited that his face was flushed red. To the Pill Refinery Hall, a second-class spiritual quality was very poor, but to the Weapon Refinery Hall, this was considered rather good natural endowments. He proudly received the sign that he was a pupil of the Weapon Refinery Hall from the supervisor. When he looked at the gazes of the people around him, there was now some confidence amidst his timidity.
"Boss, you can do it! Since you were able to beat me up, you are at least an A-class! "he said to Wang Zhong in a low voice.
Wang Zhong was rather confident about his grade. The Devouring Heaven Technique was all-encompassing, and it had a significant effect on increasing one's affinity with the heaven and earth. Even he could clearly sense the change in his affinity with the heaven and earth. The quality of his spiritual influence would not be too bad. Wang Zhong still had some goals for the Three Great Halls. Of course, it would be best if he could directly enter the Pill Refinery Hall. There would be more opportunities and conditions for him to learn about pill refinery in more detail. That would be the fastest shortcut for him to comprehend the method of accumulating his Core.
"Wang Zhong!" His name had already been called.
Wang Zhong walked forward and saw the tree supervisor gently press his hand on the top of his head. "Relax your entire body and immerse your consciousness. Follow the choice of your soul and go to the end of the summoning."
Wang Zhong did as he was told. He felt that through the tree supervisor's hand, there seemed to be some kind of connection between him and his consciousness. His senses transformed, and countless winding and long passageways immediately appeared in front of him. Furthermore, each passageway had an extremely obvious characteristic.
Some passageways were filled with lightning and lightning, some passageways were filled with a sea of flames, some passageways were filled with ice, and there were even some passageways where the path of destruction and destruction rumbled in the passageways. Furthermore, at the end of these passageways, there were powerful signals that attracted him. It was as if the Void Core and the path that he had been searching for were hidden at the end of the passageways.
When he heard the supervisor's words, he knew that he should follow the feeling of the path of summoning. Wang Zhong faintly understood the meaning of this test. Choosing a passageway depended on which type of spiritual influence one was closer to. Meanwhile, whether one could reach the end or how far one could walk in this passageway depended on the strength of one's spiritual influence.
This was a very simple test, but to Wang Zhong, it was extraordinarily difficult.
Under normal circumstances, for example, those who were close to lightning would only sense the path at the end of the passageway that was filled with lightning. For those like Tsarisiya who were close to two types of spiritual influence, their consciousness would split and they would proceed at the same time. It was not extremely difficult to multitask. However, Wang Zhong was slightly dumbfounded. He could sense the path at the end of every passageway! There were over a thousand passageways here. Many of them did not seem to belong to any type of spiritual influence that Wang Zhong knew of, but he could sense the path at the end through the thick fog.
Was this because of the Devouring Heaven Technique? The Devouring Heaven Technique was all-encompassing and did not need to be picky when absorbing the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. Thus, he was extremely close to all types of spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth?
To be honest, this was not a good thing. For example, right now, thousands of passageways were calling out to him. Furthermore, they simply ignored Wang Zhong's wish to choose two passageways that were easy to walk on. In an instant, his consciousness was split into thousands of parts. Then, they rushed into these thousands of passageways at the same time!
Only Lao Wang could do this. His soul had been split and reunited countless times, and it had even been shattered into pieces. If it was any other creature, even if it was a Solid Core or a Gold Core, if they dared to split their soul into thousands of pieces like this, their soul would be destroyed in minutes, and they would not be able to reunite again.
However, even Wang Zhong found it difficult. With such a shattered soul, the strength of the spiritual influence had also been evenly distributed. The amount of spiritual influence that was distributed to each shattered soul was only a thousandth of Lao Wang's original spiritual influence. He was only a Foundational Stage, and he had even shattered into thousands of parts. What could this bit of spiritual influence do? It did not protect his soul at all. In an instant, Wang Zhong felt as if his soul had experienced countless forms of torture. He was struck by lightning, burned by fire, pierced by ice, and crushed into pieces …
Bang!
He was suddenly bounced out from the torture of his shattered soul. His head was still slightly dizzy, and he was surrounded by angry and amused gazes.
"I said that this kind of low-leveled civilization that sneaked into the Heavenly Gates is a disgrace. He just flashed for a moment …"
"He almost fainted from this … My god, just how weak is this fellow? With this kind of potential, he would be a hindrance even if he was sweeping the streets, right? "
"Ha ha, a level-4 civilization … I heard that he stepped on an official Heavenly Gates sequence member to advance. Just what kind of weakling was the fellow that he stepped on?"
"The fellows from the Combat Cultivation Hall are going to laugh. With this kind of weakling being eliminated, they don't need to panic."
"Wang Zhong, fourth-grade spiritual quality! No emphasis on spiritual power, "said the tree supervisor expressionlessly." You can be assigned to the Combat Cultivation Hall! "
Light laughter sounded in the surroundings. No one knew how this piece of trash from a low-leveled civilization had managed to sneak into the Heavenly Gates. This fellow thought that he had ascended to the heavens in a single step after entering the Heavenly Gates. He would probably be the first unlucky fellow to be eliminated by the Heavenly Gates' elimination system very quickly.
At that moment, the gazes that were filled with disdain toward him became even more disdainful. There were also some gazes that contained some sympathy. Mockery? That did not exist. They had just casually laughed when they saw this. If they really bullied this kind of weakling, they would be lowering their own status, and others would look down on them.
After a wave of roaring laughter, very quickly, no one cared anymore.
Lao Wang was slightly speechless. He understood the mechanism of this test and could guess that the results of this test were not accurate. There were obviously many limitations to the mechanism … But so what? The results were the results. Putting aside the fact that the other party would not give him a second chance to take the test, even if they did, the results would probably be the same.
The Combat Cultivation Hall … What could he learn there? Now, Lao Wang was not interested in 'fighting' at all. He felt that the fighting standards of the people in the divine territory were extremely low. Learn? It might be slightly interesting to compare notes on combat techniques with the supervisor of the Combat Cultivation Hall, but that was not his goal. He wanted to learn pill refinery …
"Hey, Boss, we are just going there to gain experience. Don't be sad, it's nothing! Furthermore, the Combat Cultivation Hall is not bad. " At the side, Flying Pig Jhonas came over. He had not calmed down from the evaluation of his second-class spiritual quality. At that moment, he was beaming with joy as he said, "It's just that their status is slightly lower than our Equipment Refinery Hall, and their treatment is slightly lower. They will have a slightly longer time to make a name for themselves. In the future, when they make a living, their status will be slightly lower …"
Before he could finish speaking, Jhonas saw Lao Wang's cold gaze.
Pa. Jhonas hurriedly slapped himself. "Who asked you to talk so much!"
Closely after, he immediately fell silent. He lowered his head and did not say anything. Regardless of whether the status of the Combat Cultivation Hall was lower than that of the Equipment Refinery Hall, at least in the dormitory where he had to stay every day, Jhonas felt that his status could not compare to Lao Wang's. If he continued to talk, he would definitely be beaten.
The test continued.
