Following the leading youth to the open space behind the plaza, this was the temporary gathering point for those who had passed the assessment.
Chen Xiao glanced around. So far, only seven people had passed the assessment, four men and three women. Each of them looked excited, their eyes revealing a longing for life at the academy.
Besides these seven easily identifiable newcomers, there were also four female students in uniform nearby, who seemed to be older students.
These four were gathered around a woman dressed in a moon-white robe, whispering about something interesting, laughing so hard they were shaking.
"Xi Wen Instructor, I have a problem here..."
The youth quickened his pace, leading Chen Xiao and the other two to the woman who looked like an instructor. He recounted the strange situation with the crystal ball just now without any concealment.
After listening to his narration, the female instructor, who was called Xi Wen, finally turned her gaze towards Chen Xiao.
Immediately, her red lips parted slightly, and she was suddenly speechless.
She was stunned for a few seconds, until everyone looked at her in confusion. Only then did the female instructor recover.
The next moment, a smile bloomed uncontrollably on her heroic face.
"There's nothing wrong with the crystal ball. I've hit the jackpot this time!"
As she spoke, she stepped towards Chen Xiao and the other two.
"Little monster, what's your name?"
It was clear that as an instructor, she did have some discernment and could sense that Chen Xiao's strength was a little frightening.
His realm was actually higher than hers, the instructor!
As the leading instructor of the recruitment team, if she could recruit gifted new students, she would receive many rewards from the academy. The more outstanding the new students, the more generous the rewards.
It was precisely because of this that she was both surprised and delighted after realizing Chen Xiao's strength.
"Chen Xiao."
Xi Wen Instructor nodded slightly, raised her hand and beckoned lightly, "Xue Dai, bring out the roster. Let's first grade and register the potential value of these new students who have passed the assessment."
A female student from 'Great Thunder Sound Temple' behind her walked out upon hearing this, called over the seven newcomers from the other side, and then took out a green parchment scroll and an ink brush, preparing to register them.
Xi Wen Instructor nodded in satisfaction, faced Chen Xiao and the others, and said with a light smile, "Everyone, congratulations on passing the assessment. You now have the qualifications to enter Jia Nan Academy. However, because the academy needs to differentiate the potential value of the students, I need to know your exact current strength and age."
As she spoke, her gaze rested on Chen Xiao without any reservation.
Clearly, she was full of curiosity about Chen Xiao's specific strength and age.
As for the other seven, it wouldn't take much time to include them as well.
"According to the standard of Jia Nan Academy, Eight Stages of Dou Zhi Li is classified as F-level potential, Nine Stages of Dou Zhi Li is E-level, One Star Dou Zhe is D-level, and so on. The highest level is S-level Five Star Dou Zhe. Of course, the age limit here is under twenty years old. You have already passed the test and all meet the conditions."
"Now, please come forward one by one, report your name, strength, and exact age. Let's begin."
Upon hearing this, a sturdy young man standing on the far left was the first to step out, his face slightly red as he reported his data.
"Qi Rongxuan, Eight Stages of Dou Zhi Li, eighteen years old."
Xi Wen Instructor smiled and nodded, announcing, "F-level. After being registered, you can leave today and gather here again in seven days."
The female student named Xue Dai quickly recorded it. After she nodded, the sturdy young man finally relaxed and stepped aside, but he was not in a hurry to leave, planning to stay and see the level of the others.
"Feng Hanyang, Nine Stages of Dou Zhi Li, seventeen years old."
"E-level."
"Tong Jing, One Star Dou Zhe, eighteen years old."
"D-level."
"..."
Soon, the seven who had passed the assessment earlier were all registered. Only one was Eight Stages of Dou Zhi Li and one was One Star Dou Zhe.
The rest were all Nine Stages of Dou Zhi Li.
When it was Chen Xiao's turn at the end, everyone looked over with a tacit understanding out of curiosity.
After all, Xi Wen Instructor's words and actions earlier were enough to explain many things.
"Young Master, it's our turn."
Qing Lin tugged at Chen Xiao's sleeve, urging him in a low voice impatiently.
Xun Er smiled beside him without speaking.
No one knew more about Chen Xiao's affairs than they did.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao didn't hide anything. He stepped forward and reported his exact information.
"Chen Xiao, Three Star Dou Ling, twelve years old."
When traveling outside, one should hide a few tricks.
But in Jia Nan Academy, there was no need.
The more outstanding you performed, the greater the benefits you might receive.
As soon as his voice fell, only a 'crack' sound was heard. The ink brush in the female student Xue Dai's hand broke into two.
However, no one paid attention to her small mistake. Every jaw-dropped face was staring directly at Chen Xiao, and the scene fell into silence.
After a few breaths, Instructor Xi Wen's eyebrows curved into a smile. It was as if a tiny figure in her heart was reenacting the scene of the Monkey King emerging from under the Five Finger Mountain, cheering and leaping with joy, wishing she could run and tell everyone.
SSR card!
Perfect!
"W... Well, no rating for now. The academy's potential value grading system needs an update."
Muttering to herself, Instructor Xi Wen looked at Chen Xiao with sparkling eyes.
"Do you mind exchanging a palm strike with me? If I verify it myself, it will be more convincing when I try to get you preferential treatment after we arrive at the academy."
Chen Xiao took another look at this instructor. She had a very heroic appearance, giving off a feeling of being uninhibited. She looked to be only in her early twenties.
Most importantly, she was a Five Star Da Dou Shi.
Are you sure?
Chen Xiao's eyes questioned.
"I'll go all out, but you take it easy. Don't knock me down and make me lose face," the female instructor quickly added.
Being able to speak so directly and without any pretense, this female instructor left a good impression on Chen Xiao.
Immediately, Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Then get ready, here I come!"
Waving for the surrounding people to move back, Instructor Xi Wen's thoughts stirred. Dou Qi Armor Manifestation enveloped her entire body, and green Dou Qi flowed. Without holding back, she sent a palm strike towards Chen Xiao.
Although she didn't use a Dou Skill, the full-force palm strike of a Da Dou Shi expert was still extremely powerful.
Everyone could only see the green figure flash across the ground like a gust of wind, reaching Chen Xiao in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xiao's expression was as usual. He restrained ninety percent of his strength, covered his palm with ice-blue Dou Qi, and raised his hand to meet the strike.
*"Bang!"*
Only a collision sound was heard, and the figure wrapped in the green Dou Qi armor staggered back, their steps unsteady.
Fortunately, they didn't fall.
If my combat power is five thousand, then his combat power is at least thirty thousand!
Being repelled by a single palm strike, the female instructor showed no sign of embarrassment or anger on her face. Instead, her smile became even brighter.
After exchanging a palm, she could pat her chest and guarantee that this was absolutely a genuine Dou Ling.
The gap between them was insurmountable.
"Hahaha, I've struck gold! When I go back this time, everyone will be green with envy!"
The female instructor was beaming with joy, her eyebrows dancing.
Chen Xiao, who knew about Jia Nan Academy's reward system, understood the reason for her excitement.
However, Chen Xiao didn't mind.
At this moment, what he wanted to know more was...
"I heard that Jia Nan Academy is divided into inner and outer academies. May I ask Instructor Xi Wen, after I enter the academy, can I directly participate in the selection this year?"
"Absolutely! Although there hasn't been such a precedent before, that's because a monster like you hasn't appeared. After meeting the vice-dean, I have a ninety-nine percent certainty of getting permission."
Instructor Xi Wen replied with a look of certainty.
Chen Xiao had anticipated this answer and immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"Also, I want to ask, if I want to bring Qing Lin with me..."
"Young Master, Qing Lin doesn't want to go to Jia Nan Academy anymore."
This was the first time the girl had interrupted Chen Xiao. Her small face held a very serious expression.
