The Starry School's square was extremely vast and could easily hold tens of thousands of people. The viewing platform in the front had a very good view. With one glance, one could see everything.
When Long Ling'er appeared, many people looked at her. The top clans in the Divine Sky City all attracted more attention. Not only that, the Top Three Schools of the Divine Sky City actually all had the power of the top clans.
After all, the top clans had existed for more than a thousand years. They were deeply rooted in the Divine Sky City and had been here for generations. How could a place like the Top Three Schools be without them? Many people knew this. Of course, on the surface, the ones in charge of the Starry School were still the people from the Schools.
Long Mu looked at Long Long'er while Gu Yunxi saw Ye Futian. A few days ago, Ye Futian said he wouldn't enter the Starry School. This time, he was probably here to accompany Long Long'er.
Jiang Nan and Wang Yuqing stood together. Seeing Ye Futian and the others behind Long Ling 'er, they immediately looked at them mockingly. Smiling, Jiang Nan said, "No wonder you don't want to participate in the exam. Master wants to enter the academy. As a servant, it's naturally not suitable for you to participate."
Wang Yuqing was disgusted. Perhaps because of what Ye Futian said when he left that day, she disliked him even more. He had such a low character and status, but he was still so arrogant.
Looking around, Wang Yuqing found a figure in the crowd. It was her sister, Wang Yurou.
Wang Yurou passed the first round of tests and survived the cruel elimination. However, Wang Yuqing knew very well that the real test was coming up next.
Today, most people would still be eliminated.
Ye Futian, Long Ling 'er, and the others stood in the crowd. There were not as many people in the academy as there were outside, but the square was still filled up. At the very front of the stairs, there was a row of elders from the academy. They were the examiners of this assessment and were responsible for screening the candidates. If there were any questions, the higher-ranking people in the academy behind them would decide.
Every year on this day, many important people would come personally. After all, the strength of each batch of newcomers would decide the future of Starry School. Only by having strong generations could one continue to excel.
Furthermore, there were three schools in the Divine Sky City. None of them wanted to be left behind by the other two schools. The three schools were in a competitive relationship. Even the disciples of the three schools often had conflicts.
"How many people have entered this round? How many students will the Academy choose?" Ye Futian stood behind Long Ling 'er and asked in a low voice.
"After the first round of selection, there should be around 10,000 people left. Next will be the actual battle. The number of disciples that the Starry School takes in every year is around a thousand. There is no fixed number. If the overall students are outstanding, they may choose more. If the overall students are weak, they will choose fewer," Long Ling 'er replied.
"Less than one in ten," Ye Futian thought to himself. Moreover, the number of people who were eliminated in the first round was even greater.
The first round was a quick selection based on age, realm, talent, and other comprehensive factors. The second round was a simple and direct combat test. This was indeed the most efficient method.
Moreover, the actual battle was not a friendly spar. Instead, it was a direct spar with the disciples of the Starry School at the same level. It was simple and direct, and one could see the difference between them at a glance.
If one could defeat a Starry School disciple at the same level, there was no doubt that he could be selected as a disciple. However, most people could not defeat them. Therefore, it would depend on one's performance in the actual battle.
Those who performed well would be selected directly. Those who performed poorly would be eliminated directly. The rest would be candidates for the final test.
This was the entire process of the Starry School's disciple recruitment. With the highest efficiency, they would pick out the best batch of people to enter the Starry School to cultivate.
Time passed bit by bit. The elder on the stairs looked up at the sun and said, "Time's up. Seal the gate. Those who are late will not be allowed to enter the Starry School."
"Yes," the guard outside the Starry School replied. If someone was late for such an important event like the Top Three Schools' examination, there was no need to let them enter the Top Three Schools to cultivate. It was too unruly.
"Since everyone is here, let's start. I think everyone knows the rules. Just like before, we will start from the ninth level of the Arcana Plane," the elder said. "Starry School disciples, enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked out from the two sides of the stairs. They walked towards the center of the square. There were nine people in total.
"Nine people with tokens, enter," the elder said. The Starry School's examination this time was only for people below the Noble Plane. If people above the Noble Plane wanted to enter the Starry School to cultivate, there was another way. It was not a unified examination like this.
Most of the people participating in the examination this time were in the Arcana Plane. This was also the level that the disciples of the Top Three Schools were in.
Just then, people walked out one after another. When nine people walked out, the others gave way and did not fight.
18 people stood facing each other. The participants were all slightly nervous, but the disciples of the Starry School had a faint smile on their faces. One of them said, "Be careful. We will not show mercy."
"Begin," the elder announced. As soon as he finished speaking, beams of dazzling light shone on the battle platform. Before the battle, both sides did not know each other well. They did not know whether they were sorcerers or martial arts cultivators. Perhaps, they were proficient in both.
In that instant, Life Spirits and Dharmas were released. Spiritual Qi went wild and spells swept through the space.
However, one participant stood on the spot without moving. He only stared coldly at the people fighting in front of him.
"Hmph." The Starry School disciple who spoke before saw this scene and laughed. His body flashed and rushed towards the person who did not move like a bolt of lightning. His speed was so fast that it made people speechless. He actually left a series of afterimages behind him.
He waved his hand and a wind spell gathered. The circling storm was like a chain, with his palm as the center, curling towards the person's body.
"A perfect combination of wind spell and wood elemental spell. How exquisite," many people praised.
Ye Futian looked at the person who attacked. To be able to use two spells at the same time and achieve such an effect, the Starry School disciple was naturally outstanding and talented.
"Are you still not going to attack? Do you want to die?" The person saw that the person was still standing on the spot and said. The storm surrounding the person was terrifyingly sharp. The ear-piercing sound seemed to be able to cut through space.
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his hand and the two spells gathered towards the person's body at the same time. The power was shocking.
Many people frowned. The attack of an Upper Arcana Plane cultivator was very frightening. There seemed to be a terrifying ring-shaped storm in the space that could destroy everything in the space. But the person actually did not fight back?
At this moment, the crowd only saw Mo Wen's silhouette moving. His entire body radiated a dazzling golden light, as though he was clad in a divine golden armor. Moreover, this golden armor seemed to be flowing like liquid. He stepped out, ignoring the terrifying storm and walked out. The storm swept over, and the spells sliced his body, but there were no sharp sounds. Instead, the spells melded into his body bit by bit, and then solidified, dissipating into nothingness. Even the wood-elemental entanglement spells were the same.
The person walked out of the attacking spell directly. On the golden armor, there was a faint silver-white light.
He stretched out his palm and his arm actually extended. It was an arm that was a fusion of gold and silver, grabbing towards the person.
"A fusion of metal and water elemental spells?" The Starry School disciple's expression changed. Did the two different elements actually fuse together?
His body retreated with the wind and floated towards the sky. However, at that moment, a cold aura descended and the Ice Will enveloped the space. His body was covered in silver frost, as if it was going to turn him into a silver statue.
Not only that, there seemed to be two different colored liquids flowing in the surroundings, sweeping towards him like flowing water. He still wanted to struggle, but he was directly entangled and turned into a real statue, unable to move at all.
"This …" Seeing this scene, everyone's expression was very interesting. In the first battle, such an outstanding person had appeared and crushed the Starry School disciple. As a result, the people in the other battlefields did not pay much attention to him.
The Top Three Schools' examination every year would produce some extremely powerful people. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
The first battle ended and only this person had crushed the Starry School disciple. He came from an ancient clan far away and had a special talent. He had come to the Divine Sky City to cultivate.
In the first battle, he was directly selected and became an official disciple of the Starry School. As for the others, two were selected and six were eliminated. It was very cruel.
Next was the first battle. It was still the same nine people from before. The person who had been defeated before seemed to be angry this time and crushed his opponent with lightning speed. The defeated person was very depressed.
In the second battle, there was actually only one person selected and nine people were eliminated. These nine people were all crushed without any suspense.
Seeing this, everyone vaguely understood that those who were crushed by the Starry School disciple of the same plane would be eliminated directly. The winners would be directly selected and those who could last for a while would be included in the list of candidates.
Among the many examinees, Ye Futian saw Jiang Nan also fight. As a examinee of the Starry School, he was rather powerful. He even threw a mocking smile at Ye Futian, appearing to be disdainful.
Time passed bit by bit. After the Upper Arcana Plane was the Middle Arcana Plane. Ye Futian saw Wang Yurou fight. She had also stepped into the fourth level of the Arcana Plane. However, it was a pity that Wang Yurou was crushed by the Starry School disciple. In the end, there was still a big gap between her and the Starry School disciple and she was eliminated.
Wang Yuqing revealed a look of disappointment, but this was also expected. She did not have too much hope and only wanted to try.
