Soon, Murong Baixue led Ji Xian to a tea room.

There was a strong aroma of tea inside.

An antique-style tea table, with ancient paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

The four powerful black calligraphy characters, “宁静致远” (Ning Jing Zhi Yuan), hang in the center of the wall.

Who would have thought that this room, which looks exactly like a tea room, has a sign outside that reads "Principal's Office"?

Whatever, Ji Xian was too lazy to complain.

A thin, sage-like old man sat cross-legged at the tea table.

As soon as Murong Baixue entered the room, she went over and hugged the old man's neck.

"Grandpa Tuoba, I brought two people with me. Could you test their aptitude?"

The old man, who had been sitting quietly, couldn't sit still anymore after Murong Baixue's commotion.

She scolded playfully, "Nonsense! It's not the time to recruit students, why are you testing other people's qualifications?"

Murong Baixue said coquettishly, "Could you help them with the test? These are two new friends of mine who want to become warriors. If you test them, it will be good to discourage them if they don't meet the requirements."

Tuoba Yin asked, "What if they are qualified?"

Murong Baixue smiled and said, "If they are qualified, then that's perfect; you can recruit them into the academy."

Tuoba Yin was both amused and annoyed. He pointed at Murong Baixue and said, "You, you really are a handful!"

Murong Baixue continued to plead, "Why don't you help them with the test?"

"Okay, okay, I just can't do anything with you."

As Tuoba Yin spoke, he stood up and looked at Ji Xian and Lingling.

"Then I'll take your test. I'm only doing this for the princess's sake."

Ji Xian sensed a deeper meaning in these words.

Oh, I understand.

The implication was that he should remember the princess's kindness.

He's really shrewd with age.

Ji Xian immediately replied, "Yes, I know. Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Dean."

Ji Xian knew that Murong Baixue was able to do this thanks to the Coke and potato chips he gave her when they met.

Indeed, with politeness, one can go anywhere in the world without fear.

I'll send some more to Murong Baixue when I have the chance.

Tuoba Yin took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table.

"Come here, put your hands on this crystal ball, close your eyes and feel the energy inside."

“Okay.” Ji Xian nodded, took the first step forward, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

That's too easy.

This is how it's written in many fantasy novels.

When Ji Xian placed his hand on the crystal ball, the crystal ball emitted a faint green light.

Ji Xian really wanted to complain: why is it green?

But then I thought of closing my eyes and feeling it.

So I closed my eyes.

Tuoba Yin saw the crystal ball emitting a green light and said indifferently, "It's alright, barely enough for cultivation."

Murong Baixue said happily, "That's great! You should take him as a disciple of the academy!"

Tuoba Yin said irritably, "A mere Green Light is not enough for me to be admitted to the academy. Let him come back next spring."

Murong Baixue felt a pang of sadness for Ji Xian, but she was also relieved for him. At least he had passed the threshold and could begin his cultivation, though he would have to wait half a year.

Just as Murong Baixue was experiencing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, she noticed that the crystal ball had changed color.

It turned red.

Murong Baixue exclaimed in delight, "Grandpa Tuoba, look, the crystal ball has changed color! It seems he has great potential. Can he be admitted to the academy without any special requirements?"

Tuoba Yin looked at the crystal ball in disbelief.

If the crystal ball changes color, it means that the person has too many distracting thoughts and cannot stably sense the energy inside.

However, even if it turns red, he doesn't plan to make an exception and admit it into the academy.

Tuoba Yin said, "Rules are rules, how can I easily break them?"

Murong Baixue said helplessly, "Grandpa Tuoba, why are you so old-fashioned? Can't the rules be broken?"

Tuoba Yin shook his head with a smile: "No."

Murong Baixue looked helplessly at the crystal ball, which had changed color again.

It turned into a more dazzling orange.

Murong Baixue exclaimed, "Grandpa Tuoba, look! The crystal ball has changed color again!"

Tuoba Yin's eyes widened: "How can the color change?"

He looked down at the crystal ball, then looked up at Ji Xian, who had his eyes closed.

"What on earth are you thinking, kid? Can't you concentrate?"

Ji Xian didn't want to either.

He read many fantasy novels when he was in school.

Initial testing qualifications.

What about Heavenly Spiritual Root, Thunder Spiritual Root, Water Spiritual Root, and Five Elements Spiritual Root?

He wondered if this was similar to the novels, with some kind of spiritual root.

If one has a spiritual root, which one is the best?

A flood of nonsensical plots from online novels he'd read before rushed into his mind, so he wasn't focused. (Sensing crystal ball)

He felt a little embarrassed after Tuoba Yin said that.

His mind is always wandering, so it's really not easy for him to concentrate.

Ji Xian could only try his best to avoid having random thoughts and focus on sensing the energy inside the crystal ball.

In an instant, his consciousness seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean.

Meanwhile, Tuoba Yin and Murong Baixue stared wide-eyed at the crystal ball.

The crystal ball continued to change color, turning into a very bright and dazzling yellow.

Then it turned from yellow to gold, and the light became brighter and brighter until the entire room was filled with it.

Tuoba Yin and Murong Baixue were unable to open their eyes.

"What's going on?" Murong Baixue couldn't help but complain.
