Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue had just settled down when they saw a woman dressed in dark green with light white flowing cloud patterns on her supervisor’s attire approaching.
"New students on the left, old students on the right, those who want to test for the Xuan Root, line up orderly. No crowding."
Testing for Xuan Root?
Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue were sowhat puzzled— wasn’t today just about new student admissions, why was there suddenly a test for sothing called Xuan Root?
"It seems that so people still don’t know that their luck is about to run out."
From behind, Jin Chen and Chu Miaoyun walked over, accompanied by a group of hedonistic young nobles.
Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue exchanged glances, seeing the impatience in each other’s eyes.
Xin Lin was already ntally prepared for Jin Chen and those nobles; after all, they were attending the sa academy. It was inevitable to run into them frequently. Xin Lin just hoped that they wouldn’t be placed in the sa class.
Although not very familiar with Qingtian Academy, Xin Lin had heard that after admission, students would be divided into seven classes based on their talents: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light.
The first four were for Martial Artists, and the last three were for Spiritual Practitioners.
Based on the results from the Zixiao Palace Exam, Xin Lin, Murong Ziyue, and Little Xinzhuo’s class placents should have been determined even before admission.
Thus, Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue didn’t care much about what Jin Chen said.
However, the appearance of Chu Miaoyun was sowhat surprising to Xin Lin.
During the Zixiao Palace Exam, due to the use of Ultimate Marrow Cleansing Powder, Chu Miaoyun had forfeited her results and was disqualified.
Logically, she shouldn’t have appeared at Qingtian Academy, yet here she was, seeming to have co for admission as well.
"Little wretch, I’ve been placed in Yuheng Class. Let’s see how long you can keep feeling proud," Chu Miaoyun declared with aloofness.
Her face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, concealing so traces of a rash caused by her previous use of poison.
Tianxuan Class—the second-ranked class among Martial Artists—how could her cultivation qualify her for Yuheng Class?
As soon as Xin Lin heard this, he felt sowhat astonished.
"Young Master here is in Tianshu Class. You probably didn’t know, did you? The Third Prince invited Young Master Sikong to test our Xuan Roots. My result shows a four-finger Xuan Root, and Miao Yun has a three-finger Spirit Root. I’m curious to see how many of you have Xuan Spiritual Roots."
Jin Chen gloated proudly.
Hearing this, the surrounding new students showed envy but also concern.
Especially the other new students who ranked among the top ten in the previous Zixiao Palace Exam, they all looked apprehensive.
They originally thought that a good ranking in the exam would allow them a swift change of fortune. Who knew that this year, an additional test for Dark Spirit Root had been introduced.
Asking Sikong Ran to test for Xuan Root ... Hearing this, Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo felt sowhat uneasy.
Little Xinzhuo looked towards his Sister, hesitant to speak.
The three of them then realized that the reason Qingtian Academy had spent a considerable sum to invite Sikong Ran this ti wasn’t just for teaching—it was for testing the Xuan Root.
Regardless of being a Martial Artist or a Spiritual Practitioner, talent fundantally lay in the Dark Spirit Root.
When one reaches the stage of a Xuanwu Practitioner or Spirit Master, Xuan Root or Spirit Root appears within the body.
The longer the Xuan Root or Spirit Root, the faster the future cultivation speed.
Although the Longteng Stele in Longteng Country can test for talent, it does not specify the details of the Dark Spirit Root.
However, outside of Longteng in various Sects, families, and power blocs, thods to test descendants and disciples are more diverse; they mostly test directly for the Dark Spirit Root, though these thods are usually highly confidential secrets.
After joining Xuantian Sect, Sikong Ran presumably also mastered the thods to test for the Dark Spirit Root.
