"Weapon Spirit, come here to register!"

"The Beast Spirit is over here!"

"The Earth Spirit is over here!"

Several young people dressed in academic robes were calling out to the people queuing at the entrance of the college.

Looking at the long queue ahead, Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless. However, the token given to him by Hua Jin had been stolen, so he could only wait in line and try to see if he could pass the academy's entrance exam.

Listening to the explanations from the people at the academy gate, Qin Xin gained a clearer understanding of the classification of martial spirits.

The term "beast spirit" refers to the martial spirit of a martial artist, which consists of various beasts, including living animals that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water.

The representative of weapon spirits is the sword, which is also one of the most revered weapon spirits in the Tianxuan Continent. In addition, knives, spears, clubs, and other weapons are also weapon spirits.

Earth Spirits encompass trees growing on the earth, various kinds of stones, as well as mountains and rivers.

Qin Xin glanced at it briefly and obediently joined the line of weapon spirits.

"Hey bro! You want to get into the Eastern Wilderness Academy too?"

The fat man in front of Qin Xin turned around and asked cheerfully.

Qin Xin looked up and saw a pair of chubby faces. The fat man in front of him was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and his big belly was about to burst the clothes. He was holding a chicken leg in his hand.

"Hmm." Out of politeness, Qin Xin replied indifferently.

"Did you bribe the examiner?" the chubby boy asked softly.

"Do we need to make some arrangements?" Qin Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course we have to bribe them. Didn't you see that stone behind the examiner? That's the Spirit Testing Stone. It can measure the level of the martial spirit within a martial artist, as well as the affinity between the spirit and the attributes within the body. It will also assign a grade of Excellent, A, B, C, D, or E, which represents the martial artist's potential."

"Anyone who doesn't get a grade of B will be eliminated. But if you bribe the examiners, you might get a grade of D."

The chubby boy spoke softly, glancing around twice as if afraid someone would overhear.

"Thanks!" Qin Xin said calmly.

As for bribing the examiners, Qin Xin had no such intention; he also wanted to see what level his potential would rank.

"Class C elimination!"

"Level D elimination!"

"Bone age over 20! Eliminated!"

"disuse……"

The examiners' voices kept coming in, all of them the voices of those who had been eliminated.

"Class B, lower grade. Take your bamboo skewers and wait to the side!"

"Yay! I did it, hahaha."

Those who successfully passed the test shouted excitedly, and the people in line behind them looked on with envy.

As the group moved forward, Qin Xin finally saw the Spirit Testing Stone clearly. It was a brown boulder about half a person's height. Martial artists only needed to place their palms on the stone, activate their martial spirit, and circulate their internal energy. The Spirit Testing Stone would then measure the martial artist's martial spirit's spiritual power and their affinity for the attribute. Based on the martial artist's bone age, a potential score would appear, with each score further divided into three sub-levels: upper, middle, and lower.

"Next!" the examiner said impatiently.

The chubby boy turned around, grinned at Qin Xin, and winked, as if to tell Qin Xin that he was going up.

The chubby boy walked up to the spirit-testing stone, put away the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his oily hands casually on his clothes, and then placed his hands on the spirit-testing stone. A golden light gradually flickered, and then a phantom image of the character "丙" appeared on the spirit-testing stone. When the examiner saw it, he smiled faintly, and the phantom image of "丙" turned into the character "丁".

"Gold ingot! Grade B, Lower Level, approved!"

The examiner's voice came and handed the bamboo stick to Jin Yuanbao. The two smiled at each other, but none of the other martial artists who came to participate in the test noticed.

Seeing this, Qin Xin shook his head slightly. The reason why the gold ingot was able to pass the test was mainly because the examiner injected a trace of metal-attribute true energy into the spirit-testing stone without anyone noticing.

Jin Yuanbao took the bamboo stick and stood aside. At this time, five people had already passed the potential assessment.

"Next!"

The examiner's voice came through.

"Keep it up!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin slowly walked to the spirit-testing stone, while the chubby little boy, Jin Yuanbao, cheered him on.

Qin Xin let out a soft breath and placed his palm on the spirit-testing stone. The cool, refreshing touch made him feel very comfortable.

With the Black Stick Martial Spirit in operation, a vast amount of true energy flowed out from the Martial Core and then surged out from the main meridian, all of it pouring into Qin Xin's palm.

At this moment, a wisp of azure light on the spirit-testing stone continued to grow larger. A phantom image of the character "乙" slowly appeared on the spirit-testing stone. Then, the azure light dissipated, replaced by a pale yellow flame, which seemed to be burning fiercely on the spirit-testing stone. The displayed character actually changed directly to "甲".

"Dual attributes of wood and fire! The fire attribute affinity is even excellent! The martial spirit is only three stars, what a pity!"

Seeing the two colors alternating on the spirit-testing stone, the examiner was initially delighted, because he believed that Qin Xin's potential could reach the excellent level. Being able to recruit such a student, the academy would naturally give him some rewards. However, when the spirit-testing stone showed that Wu Ling's spiritual power was only three stars, he shook his head, as if he had already guessed the result.

"Qin Xin, Grade A, Lower Level, passed!"

Qin Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief, went to the examiner and took a bamboo slip with the character "陆" on it, indicating that Qin Xin was the sixth person to pass the test.

"Wow, Qin Xin, you're amazing! Your potential has actually reached Grade A."

Seeing Qin Xin walk over, Jin Yuanbao immediately lost interest in the chicken leg he was holding. He looked at Qin Xin with some surprise and said...

Before Qin Xin could answer, countless exclamations of surprise rang out from the academy gate.

"Superior grade!"

"With this talent, he will surely be able to enter the Yuanfu Realm in the future!"

"What? Yuanfu Realm? You're starting to have doubts about this talent, aren't you!"

"As expected of the little princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, I should avoid her as soon as possible if I see her at the academy in the future."

A variety of noises kept coming, and Qin Xin curiously looked towards the source of the commotion.

At this moment, at the testing point of the Beast Spirit, a girl dressed in a pink palace dress placed her slender hands on the Spirit Testing Stone. The Spirit Testing Stone emitted a dazzling flame, and the character "优" (excellent) slowly emerged in the flame.

As her inner energy surged, the girl's robes fluttered. Qin Clan members inadvertently noticed the jade pendant at the girl's waist, which had a golden sun pattern on it. Qin Xin had seen this pattern at the city gate before.

Qin Xin also realized that this girl was the one who helped him enter Black Dragon City.

"So it's Princess Xia Yue. It's not surprising that she has this talent."

As Qin Xin pondered, Jin Yuanbao, standing beside him, spoke with a hint of disdain.

"You know her?" Qin Xin asked casually.

"Naturally, the top forces in the Eastern Wilderness are none other than the One Sect, One Academy, One School, One Pavilion, and Three Dynasties. The One Sect is the Celestial Master Sect, the One Academy is the Eastern Wilderness Academy, the One School is the Spirit Beast School, the One Pavilion is the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and the Three Dynasties are the Great Xia Dynasty, the Ding Dynasty, and the Yan Dynasty."

Jin Yuanbao spoke slowly and deliberately, clearly aware of the power distribution in the Eastern Wilderness.

"You don't even know which forces are in the Eastern Wilderness? Don't you ever look at a strategy guide before you go out?"

After saying that, Jin Yuanbao took out the chicken leg that he hadn't finished eating from his Qiankun bag, glanced at Qin Xin, and said.

"I know a little bit, but I still thank Brother Jin for letting me know."

The four top powers in the Eastern Wilderness are the Sect, the Academy, the Gate, and the Pavilion. There are hundreds or even thousands of these powers, with very deep foundations. Moreover, these four powers do not directly participate in worldly affairs.

Dynasties are different. They mainly control various secular families, but there are also conflicts between them. Dynasties also change very quickly.

Take the Great Xia Dynasty for example. The Eastern Wilderness Academy is also located within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty has changed countless times, but the Eastern Wilderness Academy has never changed at all.

"Come with me into the academy."

After a morning of recruitment, the examiners were also a bit tired.

The enrollment period has now passed. Some of the martial artists who successfully passed the assessment arranged for their followers to stay in Black Dragon City, some had already purchased real estate in Black Dragon City, and some dismissed the Hui people.

Upon entering the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Qin Xin carefully scanned the list of all the martial artists who had passed. Among them, only Xia Yue had the potential to be rated as excellent, there were more than ten rated as A, and as many as thirty rated as B.
