He Xi and Wei Chengyuan went to see the screening results, and Tong Bing naturally followed them.
Before the three of them walked into the bulletin board, they heard a wailing sound coming from the crowd.
"How could this be?! So many people signed up, but in the end, less than a hundred were admitted?! This is only the first round! Isn't it too harsh?"
"I... I have a mutant earth-type single spiritual root, how could I be eliminated?!"
"Tsk, the first round of screening doesn't just look at your spiritual root aptitude, it also tests your muscles, cultivation, and potential. Even if your aptitude is great, if your cultivation is not good enough and your potential is too poor, you will of course be screened out."
"Alas, I heard that in last year's exam, only eight people were admitted, but there were nearly a thousand people who applied! I wonder how many of the ninety-six people will be able to stay in the end!"
He Xi and the other two squeezed to the front of the crowd and took a look. Not surprisingly, He Xi saw his own name at the end of the list - Xi Yue.
Wei Chengyuan's name is the sixth one in order.
As soon as he saw it, he bit the dogtail grass, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I only ranked sixth in the spiritual root aptitude test. Tsk tsk, who are the people ahead of me!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "How come there are people with foundation building level on the list?"
"Right! Didn't they say that it's not just about testing spiritual roots? If we take cultivation into account, how could someone in the foundation-building stage make the list?"
"I remember that the Divine Medical Academy hasn't had anyone in the Foundation Establishment Stage pass the first round of screening for several decades, right?"
"Could this person be a relative of some dean, or someone who got in through the back door?"
The crowd suddenly became agitated, especially those who failed the exam, who were filled with righteous indignation and demanded an explanation from the college.
Because the commotion was too serious, a boy in green slowly walked out of the hut. He scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Xi Yue, a dual-element spiritual root of water and fire, with a bone structure age of seventeen years and one month, and at the peak of the foundation-building stage, there is no doubt that she will be selected. If you have any objections, I don't mind reporting it to the higher-ups of the academy..."
The boy in green paused and continued, "Since you are so dissatisfied with the academy's decision, then don't participate in the academy's assessments in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into an eerie silence, and no one dared to say anything more.
Seeing that no one objected, the boy in green said calmly, "All unsuccessful examinees please bring your ranking jade slips to this spiritual root testing room and return them. We will register your information. If you take the test again next year, you will not need to provide a recommendation letter."
After saying this, the boy in green turned around and entered the hut without saying another word.
After a moment of silence, someone suddenly broke the silence by muttering, "Xi Yue... Xi Yue? Why does this name sound so familiar? Could it be... Could it be the young master of Shengde Hall?"
"Shengdetang? Is that the Shengdetang that sells top-grade elixirs? If it's him, no wonder he's so powerful!"
"I heard that some of the top-grade elixirs sold in the Shengde Hall can greatly improve a person's cultivation in a short period of time, and can even improve a person's aptitude! He is so powerful, he must have taken those elixirs, right?"
"Humph, so what if he took the elixir? With his strength at the foundation-building stage, he will definitely die miserably if he enters the second or third round of assessment!"
At this time, Wei Chengyuan's surprised eyes had already fallen on He Xi, and after a while he whispered: "So you are Xi Yue?" (To be continued)
