Chapter 239 - 239: Untitled
As Jinning Academy was one of the four academies of the Wind Lightning Empire, it was naturally very difficult for them to become disciples in the assessment.
It was not like how Dong Lei could get the Golden Wheel King to successfully give him knowledge in the Nightless City’s Nightless Academy…
If one wanted to enter Jinning Academy, they had to pass four tests to successfully enter.
These four tests were: certification of knowledge, recognition of strength, avoidance of disciples, and shunning of mentors.
The certification of knowledge was that every young man who wanted to enter Jinning Academy had to at least reach the intermediate level of knowledge to pass the first test.
The first test was a hard rule.
There was no need for a young man without intermediate knowledge to join Jinning Academy.
Therefore, to join Jinning Academy and become a disciple, one had to at least have intermediate knowledge.
Jinning Academy had a recruitment period every year. Today was the recruitment period for this year.
There were already tens of thousands of people outside Jinning Academy who wanted to join.
Every year, Jinning Academy would only recruit 50 people.
It was obvious that if one wanted to join Jinning Academy, they had to stand out from the tens of thousands of people. That was very difficult.
In the first round of the assessment, there were 20 Knowledge Pillars placed at the assessment venue.
Moreover, there were special candidates, which were the senior brothers and sisters of Jinning Academy.
Those who wanted to join Jinning Academy naturally knew about the first round of knowledge certification test.
After the certification of these Knowledge Pillars reached the strength of One-Diamond, they were not certified at the higher levels.
The Knowledge Pillar was divided into red, green, and yellow lights.
Red, green, and yellow light corresponded to Intermediate knowledge, Advanced knowledge, and One-Diamond knowledge.
Generally speaking, many gamers and young NPCs would at most have intermediate knowledge.
Moreover, it was only after years of learning that they could reach the intermediate level.
Almost none of these gamers really learned anything.
They were all exchanged for intermediate knowledge with the Military Department’s points and bought in a small city like Nightless City.
Their actions were the same as Dong Lei’s when he asked about the Golden Wheel King…
However, for gamers, the subsequent assessment was not as simple as they imagined.
After all, the strongest man, Dong Lei, was only at the Epic stage.
Almost all of them were Gold and Silver. It was almost impossible for them to pass the third round of the assessment.
Only gamers like Dong Lei who had Three-Diamond knowledge were invincible below the Emperor level.
Only then could he be an unrivaled existence in the assessment of Jinning Academy.
At noon.
The first round of the assessment of Jinning Academy officially began.
In an instant, the people outside Jinning Academy surged.
Countless people who wanted to join the Jinning Academy as disciples walked towards the first assessment.
Many youths only had intermediate knowledge.
There were also very few who had reached high-level knowledge. It was really amazing.
Among them, there were four youths who were at the advanced level of knowledge and all had Epic-rank strength.
These four people were Jia Shiying, Ji Derong, Meng Chengyun, and Yin Dongyin.
Jia Shiying had the strength of an Epic elite and high-level knowledge. He was also the grandson of the Jia family’s elder, Jia Zijing.
Ji Derong was from another large family in Jinning City that was relatively weaker than the Jia family.
The reason why they could become the second largest family was because the Ji family followed the Sun family, one of the four major families.
It was Sun Qiyue’s Sun family. The Ji family’s head, Ji Yuanhua, had a sister who was married to Sun Qiyue’s father, the Sun family’s head, Sun Dongpu.
She was Sun Dongpu’s fifth concubine, and also Sun Qiyue’s fifth mother…
Ji Derong had the strength of an Epic Sub-Grandmaster and high-level knowledge.
Yin Dongyin had the strength of an Epic elite and high-level knowledge. He was from the Earth Overturning Empire, which belonged to the evil faction. Of course, he had a mission to join Jinning Academy.
As for Meng Chengyun, he belonged to the Fire Sun Empire and had the strength and high-level knowledge of an Epic Sub-Grandmaster.
Among them was Lei Wendong, the son of Lei Qianqi. He had the strength of an Epic elite and intermediate knowledge.
Of course, many members of the various families in Jinning City and other cities also wanted to join Jinning Academy.
After all, Jinning Academy was one of the four academies of the Wind Lightning Empire. It had a large number of resources and teachers…
As Dong Lei had an Epic status, many people took the initiative to make way.
After all, in their opinion, Epic-rank meant that they could at least enter Jinning Academy.
Generally speaking, outer sect disciples at least had Gold-rank strength.
As for inner sect disciples, they needed at least diamond-level strength.
The core disciples had almost reached the Epic stage.
On the other hand, personal disciples had higher strength, and almost all of them were masters.
After becoming an outer sect disciple of the Wind Lightning Empire’s four academies, they could only live outside the academy.
The resources and teachers these outer sect disciples could obtain were the least.
Moreover, they had to do all kinds of chores like feeding pigs.
However, it still attracted everyone’s love.
After all, being able to become a disciple of Jinning Academy was very helpful to them.
With their status as a student of Jinning Academy, they were very famous and important.
Only inner sect disciples could officially become disciples of Jinning Academy.
Inner sect disciples could receive guidance and resources from Jinning Academy.
This was what it meant to be able to obtain knowledge and strength from Jinning Academy.
As for core disciples, they were at least accepted as disciples by the deputy director and director.
The status of a core disciple was incomparably noble compared to inner and outer disciples.
Lastly, it was the personal disciples.
The personal disciples were the disciples of the principal and the elders of Jinning Academy.
They could have almost all the resources and knowledge that Jinning Academy had.
Of course, they also needed to rely on their strength to obtain points to exchange for what they wanted.
However, with the nurturing of the principal and elders, it was naturally different.
The other three academies of the Wind Lightning Empire were the same.
At this moment, Jia Shiying, Ji Derong, Meng Chengyun, Yin Dongyin, and Lei Wendong had successfully completed the first round of the assessment.
Almost half of the people had passed the first round of assessment.
Only people like Dong Lei, who could not be bothered to push, walked over at this moment.
Dong Lei’s lazy expression made the senior brothers and sisters in charge of the outer sect disciples unhappy.
However, Dong Lei had Epic-rank strength, so they did not dare to say anything.
As for Jia Shiying, Ji Derong, Meng Chengyun, Yin Dongyin, and Lei Wendong, they were waiting for the second round to begin.
Therefore, they all chose to stand at the side and watch the others’ assessment with interest.
When Jia Shiying, Ji Derong, Meng Chengyun, Yin Dongyin, and Lei Wendong saw Dong Lei, who was also at the Epic stage, they all looked at him.
Furthermore, Jia Shiying and Lei Wendong were chatting.
“Wow! This Epic-ranked guy can have intermediate knowledge, right?”
Jia Shiying was dressed in a white robe and had a thin figure. He looked at Lei Wendong with a smile and said in a mocking tone.
“Of course. Otherwise, why would he come here?”
“Look at this refined Epic-ranked guy. Could it be that he doesn’t have intermediate knowledge like you said? Hahaha…”
Lei Wendong’s fat body, round face, and thick hands fiddled with his hair as he mocked.
Meng Chengyun and Ji Derong also revealed a smile and chuckled.
On the other hand, Yin Dongyin’s face was gloomy. After taking a few more glances at Dong Lei, he continued to be indifferent.
When it was Dong Lei’s turn, he walked up to the pillar of knowledge and reached out to touch it..
