At the start of the Jia-Chen year, a sea of people gathered before Wendao Peak in Han Chi County, welcoming the new class of disciples into the sect.
As the Spiritual Qi in the mortal realm became more abundant, the number of youths from the mortal world possessing Spiritual Roots reached a staggering forty-three this year. There were also thirty-seven local disciples from Nanhe Province—both record-breaking numbers.
Senior Brother Instructors Wei Yi and Dong Lingcheng stood before the Spirit Dao Institute, waiting to welcome the new disciples.
"Senior Brother Dong, I heard from Elder Wu that there are seventeen disciples with high-grade Spiritual Roots this year. That's more than twenty percent of the total."
