"Oh my god! So many?!" Yun Ting widened his eyes and looked at Duan Qingxi, seeming a little nervous.
Although their journey was dangerous, they mostly encountered evil spirits and monsters, so Yun Ting had never fought anyone before and was not confident in his abilities.
Not to mention, Duan Qingxi was actually not very confident in himself. After all, the exams were rather old-fashioned, but they had read very few books, because there were not many books to read in the Taoist temple, and most of them were books on how to catch evil spirits.
The waiter said, "Of course. Every year, countless people take the exam again, but it's so difficult to pass! After all, many students from the four major colleges are admitted to Tai College every year!"
Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting exchanged a glance before asking, "What is Imperial College?"
The waiter was stunned, "You don't even know what Tai Academy is?!"
They both said in unison, "I don't know!"
Waiter: ...
Perhaps because he felt he couldn't explain it clearly in a short while, the waiter found a stool in front of them and sat down. "This Tai Academy is a place that all practitioners want to go to. It was specially established by the Lord. Anyone who can enter Tai Academy will be the best of the best. Even the worst-off will have a bright future!"
Listening to the waiter's words, Duan Qingxi summarized and said, "In other words, all cultivators must first find a way to be admitted to the four major academies. Then, every year, the four major academies will recommend students to be admitted to the Tai Academy. And being admitted to the Tai Academy is the ultimate goal of all cultivators? The purpose of cultivators being admitted to the four major academies is to be admitted to the Tai Academy?"
The waiter smiled and nodded. "You could say that. After all, the Imperial Academy is under the control of the monarch. Isn't it better to enter the palace than to stay outside? However, some people enter the four major academies to improve their magic. Not everyone wants to enter the Imperial Academy."
Duan Qingxi asked again, "Then...are there any requirements for admission to the four major colleges? For example, is there any age limit?"
The waiter thought for a moment before saying, "There aren't any special requirements, and there's no age requirement. Even if you're in your seventies or eighties, you can get in if you can pass the assessment. However, the Imperial Academy has a special rule. Strong cultivators over the age of twenty can apply freely. So, generally, only those under twenty who desperately want to enter the Imperial Academy and whose cultivation isn't that strong would apply to the four major academies."
After hearing this, Duan Qingxi understood.
She nodded and said, "Then I understand. Thank you, little brother."
But the second brother held her back and said, "There's more..."
"what else?"
"Well, that's right... Although many people know about the four major colleges, there is actually another college called Tianhao College."
"Tianhao College?"
Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting looked at each other and intuitively felt that there was something behind this academy.
The waiter looked around again and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "This is quite sad to say. There was a teacher at Ah Tai Academy. His son had a relatively poor talent for cultivation, but he was very determined to cultivate. He took the exams for the four major academies for a long time but failed to get in. He was unwilling to use his father's identity to get in as an exception, so he kept taking the exams. But then one year, during the exam, he was beaten to death by a student!"
Yun Ting said, "How could he be beaten to death? Aren't exams just about finishing the test?"
