“There are mostly young masters and young ladies from various great families in it. According to the history that Mo Xuanye introduced, even though Fantasy Heaven Academy ranks first, its development speed doesn't match the resources it has. This indicates that there are many parasites in it,” Feng Yuqin said calmly. “So I don't want to waste my time in Fantasy Heaven Academy.”
“Aren't there any parasites in Mountain and Sea Academy?” Xiao Ying asked.
“There are. Parasites exist everywhere, but they're not as rampant as in Fantasy Heaven Academy,” Feng Yuqin replied.
“Then after we enroll today, we'll probably enter the outer academy,” Xiao Ying thought that the Mountain and Sea Academy also had an inner and an outer academy. Without any connections or back - door channels, they would most likely stay in the outer academy.
Feng Yuqin pondered for a moment and said, “I'll sign up for the challenge.”
She had just scanned the strength of these people. Most of those in their teens who signed up were for the outer academy.
However, the Mountain and Sea Academy had a challenge area.
If one passed the challenge, they could be directly promoted to the inner academy.
If they failed, they wouldn't be allowed to apply for the Mountain and Sea Academy for three years.
This was to prevent students from casually signing up for the challenge without considering the risks.
“There are no teachers at the challenge registration area yet,” Xiao Ying observed the challenge registration area.
“Right. There are almost a thousand people signing up here,” Feng Yuqin said as she walked towards the passage for challenge registration.
The others were stunned when they saw the direction Feng Yuqin was heading.
“No way. She looks only twenty years old. Is she really going to take the challenge?” someone exclaimed in disbelief.
The minimum requirement for the challenge was to reach the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Many people would reach the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm before attempting the challenge to ensure they could pass.
Of course, there were also those who had various treasures and would attempt the challenge at the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Feng Yuqin's current strength was at the seventh stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, which was the high - level of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
So there was no problem for her to pass the challenge.
Moreover, since she could fight beyond her level, it was even easier for her.
Not long after Feng Yuqin walked over, some other people also went to sign up for the challenge.
A baby - faced man queued up behind Feng Yuqin and asked, “Are you also here for the challenge?”
Feng Yuqin gave a soft “um”.
Seeing Feng Yuqin's cold attitude, the baby - faced man didn't mind and continued cheerfully, “Me too. I used to be in Fantasy Heaven Academy, but I was unhappy there, so I voluntarily dropped out.”
The baby - faced man really had no social awkwardness. Without waiting for Feng Yuqin to speak, he spilled all his information like beans from a bamboo tube.
Those who had studied in Fantasy Heaven Academy couldn't be too weak.
So when they came to the Mountain and Sea Academy, they wouldn't obediently sign up for the outer academy.
After all, the cultivation resources in the outer academy weren't that good.
While the baby - faced man was talking to Feng Yuqin, a few more people came.
Two of them even knew the baby - faced man.
They had all come from Fantasy Heaven Academy.
They were all here to take the challenge to enter the Mountain and Sea Academy.
This made Feng Yuqin wonder if the challenge was set up specifically for those who had left Fantasy Heaven Academy.
Was it a deliberate move to poach students from Fantasy Heaven Academy?
Unintentionally, Feng Yuqin had guessed the truth.
“Master, isn't Fantasy Heaven Academy the best? Why do these people all come to the Mountain and Sea Academy?” Xiao Ying was now interested in Fantasy Heaven Academy.
“Probably there are problems like uneven resource distribution or bullying and resource - deprivation in it. So those who don't have powerful backgrounds or can't stand such behavior have reasonably applied to drop out and transferred to the Mountain and Sea Academy,” Feng Yuqin said calmly.
“But doesn't the Mountain and Sea Academy worry that these students who drop out from Fantasy Heaven Academy will betray them again?” Xiao Ying asked.
“The Mountain and Sea Academy must have their confidence to do this,” Feng Yuqin thought for a while. “There are basically two possibilities. First, the Mountain and Sea Academy has the confidence to make these people stay obediently without betraying. Second, the Mountain and Sea Academy just does its own thing well and doesn't care about other things.”
Judging from the history of the Mountain and Sea Academy, she leaned more towards the second possibility.
Anyway, these people coming in would also strengthen the academy. Why not?
Just do their own thing well and don't care about other things.
So they might have their own criteria for whether these people left or betrayed.
If they were forced to leave, the situation would be different.
If they betrayed maliciously, she didn't think that the Mountain and Sea Academy, which ranked second among the five great academies, would act like naive or overly kind people.
And those who came from Fantasy Heaven Academy, she guessed, would probably have to pay some price.
Maybe their strength would be forced to decline.
Maybe their families would have to provide enough resources as compensation.
“Master, someone's coming,” Xiao Ying suddenly interrupted Feng Yuqin's train of thought.
Feng Yuqin looked up and saw a middle - aged male teacher leading two young men walking towards them.
The middle - aged male teacher walked to his seat and sat down. Then his eyes fell on Feng Yuqin.
Although Feng Yuqin was wearing a veil, when he met her eyes, the middle - aged male teacher was slightly stunned for a moment.
But he quickly recovered and started the registration process.
Feng Yuqin stepped forward and handed over her nameplate.
The middle - aged male teacher sent his spiritual sense into it, and Feng Yuqin's information appeared in his mind.
Name: Feng Yuqin.
Age: 20.7 years old.
Specialties: Pill - refining, medical skills.
Other skills: Weapon - refining.
From: Mysterious Feather Realm.
She originally had the skill of array - making.
But Feng Yuqin didn't want to expose too much about herself.
After all, the array could save her life at a critical moment.
So Mo Xuanye managed to hide the array - making skill.
A middle - aged male teacher of this level of strength wouldn't be able to detect it.
Of course, those with stronger strength might still discover it if they probed Feng Yuqin's nameplate.
However, Feng Yuqin only needed to use the nameplate when signing up.
At other times, she could still hide it.
After entering the academy, the academy would issue jade tokens.
By then, she wouldn't have to worry about others discovering her secrets.
“You can refine weapons?” the middle - aged male teacher asked in surprise, looking at Feng Yuqin.
He really couldn't imagine that such a young girl would choose weapon - refining.
In many people's eyes, weapon - refining was mostly a profession chosen by men.
Because weapon - refining was much more laborious than pill - refining.
And the whole process wasn't that elegant.
Especially when forging, one had to use a large hammer to shape the weapon.
This step was unacceptable to many women.
They thought it was too unbecoming.
Of course, it wasn't that there were no female weapon - refiners, but it was extremely rare for someone as slender and elegant as Feng Yuqin to choose weapon - refining.
