The Zephyr Academy was situated on the northern side of the Da Du Country. The terrain was flat and it occupied a vast expanse of land.
It was rumoured that if you stood at the front gates of the Zephyr Academy, you would not be able to see the end of it.
As one of the top three academies in the world, the Zephyr Academy would always be filled with a sea of people every year during the enrollment period.
Horse carriages carrying their families rolled in, and young boys and girls of suitable age were escorted by their families to the Zephyr Academy from thousands of miles away. During the period from mid August to early September, not just the Zephyr Academy's main division, even the inns and inns in the surrounding towns were packed to the brim.
There were as many academies under the heavens as there were stars in the sky. But there were only three academies that stood at the top of the pyramid, and the Zephyr Academy occupied one of them.
The top academies had stringent requirements for their recruitment. They only accepted youths between the ages of fourteen to sixteen. After two years, no one could even dream of getting in.
The Zephyr Academy was divided into the main division and the branch division. The main division was filled with either exceptional ring spirits or people with rapid growth in their spiritual powers. It was almost impossible for an average person to get into the main division.
The requirements for the branch division were slightly more lax. Basically, as long as one could afford the money, they could enter the branch division to study. If one was exceptionally gifted and performed well in the branch division, they could be promoted straight into the main division. Those with mediocre talents could only stay in the branch division for a year at most. If they were not promoted into the main division, they would be expelled from the Zephyr Academy the following spring.
When they were first admitted, the tuition was three years' worth. Even if they were kicked out early due to their lack of strength, they could not expect to get their money back.
Basically, among the first year students, only a few tens would be promoted straight into the main division. The remaining thousands would have to remain in the branch division.
A person's ring spirit would awaken at the age of fourteen and the Zephyr Academy's maximum age for admission was sixteen. That was to say, even if they were stuck at that age, they would have at most two years of training. It was almost impossible to achieve a breakthrough in their spiritual powers within that time.
Those who were admitted straight into the main division were basically those with more unique ring spirits.
The reason that the Zephyr Academy was able to rise to become one of the top three academies was not only because of its strong faculty, but more importantly, because of its unique cultivation direction – Spirit Healing!
The entire academy was divided into three branches of cultivation, Beast Spirit, Weapon Spirit, and Spirit Healing.
Beast spirits were beast type ring spirits, weapon spirits were weapon type ring spirits. Healing Spirits were not categorized into different types of ring spirits, and did not belong to the cultivation of the battle type, but was more of a healing type of training.
A contractual spirit and a human's soul were one and the same. Although contractual spirits did not bleed like humans, but prolonged battles or accidents could still cause injuries to contractual spirits. Although it was not enough to kill them, it would greatly reduce their battle prowess. And Spirit Healers were a group of people whose sole purpose was to heal injured contractual spirits.
Spirit Healers were a new direction of cultivation and only the Zephyr Academy knew how to groom Spirit Healers.
It could be said that Spirit Healers were much more sought after than Medicine Refiners!
Afterall, there were many people who knew how to concoct medicine, but people who knew how to heal spirits were few and far between, and the importance of ring spirits to people was irreplaceable.
To become a Spirit Healer, it did not depend on how strong one's spiritual powers were, but whether one's spiritual powers had the ability to fuse with one's contractual spirit. Simply put, a Spirit Healer used his own spiritual powers to replenish the power that the contractual spirit lacked.
