Among the people present, they couldn’t help but feel excited when they heard the Headmaster mention the possibility of being admitted to the Holy Academy or Imperial Academy, which were the most sacred places of cultivation among the younger generation on the Continent.
Every time the several major Royal Academies competed, it was actually also an opportunity for the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy to observe the geniuses from each Academy and select from them.
However, people like Feng Chen who were given special admissions to enter the Holy Academy were few and far between, no more the fingers on one palm.
Shu Jiang glanced at everyone softly and said with a smile: “Originally, the comprehensive test was planned to begin in ten days, but now that it needs to be carried out along with the other major Academies at the same time, it would be postponed for a month. I hope you can all prepare well in this month.”
“Yes!” Everyone said in unison.
“The captains of your three teams remain, the others should return first.” Shu Jiang said.
The other students left one after another, leaving only Yu Qing Qian and two other boys.
Shu Jiang looked at the three of them with a smile and said: “You are all among the top three in the previous training sessions, and your team’s cooperation is very good. This time, our Southern Royal Academy’s hope of winning lies with your three teams.”
Then he changed his tone and said: “Of course, you don’t have to feel pressure. Just try your best to win. No matter what the final ranking is, the most important thing is that you can all return alive.”
Each training experience and comprehensive test in the major Academies were conducted in the wild. Even if there were instructors following and protecting them, people would still inevitably die. If the Academies competed together, the mortality rate would increase a lot.
Although the superiors of the Royal Academy hoped that the Academy would win the championship, but they didn’t want this to be based on the premise of a huge number of losses among the students of the Academy.
“Alright, if you have any questions right now, you can ask.” Shu Jiang looked at the three of them and said.
One of the boys thought for a bit, then asked: “Headmaster, the comprehensive test of the Academies will be conducted together this time, will there also be separate individual competitions afterwards?”
In the past, it would always be selected individuals who would compete in the competitions between the Academies, including combat, plant inscriptions, potions and forging. The Holy Academy and Imperial Academy selected the most outstanding people with high potential and admitted them. They could go cultivate after they turned eighteen.
“The comprehensive test this time will be conducted among the freshman from the Academies. There will be individual competitions for the old students. Whether there will be individual competitions for the freshmen or not hasn’t been announced yet. It’s said that it will depend on the performance of each Academy during the test. But you also must be prepared. I predict there’s a high possibility of an individual competition.” Shu Jiang replied.
The boy continued to ask: “Headmaster, we’re conducting a comprehensive test with freshmen from the other Academies, are there any rewards for the winning team?”
Every time there was a competition between the Academies, the top winners would receive generous rewards, and those resource rewards were of great use in improving their cultivation base.
“The competition this time is jointly requested by the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy. When the time comes, both Academies will take out things for rewards, and are very generous. It just depends on whether you can obtain it or not.” Shu Jiang said with a smile.
“We’ll do our best.” The three of them answered in unison.
Shu Jiang nodded with satisfaction, then his gaze fell on Yu Qing Qian, and he said with a loving smile, in all earnestness: “Little girl Yu, if there is an individual competition this time, you will definitely have a place for plant inscriptions and potions. In this month, you must also prepare well.”
“Yes, I will live up to your trust.” Yu Qing Qian smiled and nodded with a confident look.
She was very much looking forward to competing against the geniuses from other Academies, and she would also be able to test her own achievements over the past year.
