Chapter 449 The Pressure from Feng Su
I neither agree nor disagree with the idea of cultivating a karmic connection.
Old Qing stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
Even with over two hundred people from various colleges present, the central plaza was still excessively spacious.
The rules for the seven academies to recruit disciples in the Yao Guang Domain are simple and brutal.
The first step is to test your talent. If you are noticed by someone from the academy during this process, that would be ideal.
If a disciple does not stand out too much during the talent test, but exceeds the standard talent line, they will have one chance to express their desire to join their preferred academy. If their demonstrated abilities happen to catch the eye of the academy, it will be a happy event.
Yu Yan was in the long queue. Her current position was just one step into Yao Guang Palace. Looking ahead, all she could see was a sea of heads.
In the center of the testing plaza are four high platforms, each carved with one of the four ancient mythical beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
On the high platform, there was a seven-colored testing stone. Cultivators kept placing their hands on it, and then left with heartbroken expressions.
Speaking of the standard talent line, as long as the color displayed on the test stone is slightly above cyan, it means you have passed.
"Hey, they just look down on our Yao Guang Domain! I heard before that these academies have a green or higher standard for recruiting disciples in other immortal domains."
By deliberately raising the bar, isn't it just because they don't want people from their Yaoguang Domain?
Then what are they doing coming all the way from other immortal realms to this place?
Utterly hypocritical!
The man emerged from Yaoguang Palace, cursing angrily.
Hearing his words, Yu Yan turned to look at Zi Lan and asked, "Is that what he said?"
Zi Lan's lips curled into a smile, her emotions unreadable, and she replied to Yu Yan, "That's right."
Yu Yan: "Oh, is this standard line too difficult to pass?"
Zi Lan smiled and said, "It's not difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators around him cast unfriendly glances at him, and even Yu Yan was "scanned" by them.
A hint of amusement flashed across the woman's face through the mask.
Feng Su's expression grew cold, and the pressure he unconsciously exuded was terrifying, even though he was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
Because the oppressive aura deliberately bypassed their own people, Yu Yan and the others did not notice anything unusual. They were just wondering why the people who had been looking at them with resentment just moments before now looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Shen Qingyi followed one of the people’s restrained yet timid gazes to look at Feng Su. He stood behind Feng Su and looked thoughtfully at the few strands of hair that moved slightly without wind at the other’s waist.
One hour later
Yu Yan reached out and tapped her slightly sore shoulder. As she watched the Azure Dragon statue getting closer and closer to their team, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
A handful of cultivators stood on one side of the four statues, some far away. These were probably the people who had passed the standard line.
That's really a pitifully small number.
Yu Yan instantly understood how the person who had complained about the rules felt.
The standards of the seven colleges are really strict.
As she got closer, her gaze gradually swept over the people from the seven academies in the square, following the path from Yaoguang Academy to Kaiyang Academy... and finally settling on Tianxuan Academy and Tianshu Academy.
As if sensing something, her gaze quickly met that of one of the figures in green robes—it was Xiu Yuan.
When the other person saw her, they smiled gently at her.
Yu Yan nodded in response.
It was a barely perceptible movement, so subtle that Zi Lan behind her didn't even notice it, but it seemed magnified and fell into the eyes of Feng Su, who was watching the woman closely behind Zi Lan.
