Chapter 6

Piaomiao Dao Academy was vast, especially the Lower Academy Island, which was grand and could accommodate a hundred thousand students for their studies and residence. At this moment, in the southeastern part of the Lower Academy Island, at the airfield, dozens of large hot air balloon airships were parked.

Countless students, filled with curiosity and excitement, were carrying their luggage off the airships. Although there was some noise, there were more joyful laughs.

These people were from different regions of the Federation, the students who had been admitted to Piaomiao Dao Academy this year.

On one of the airship decks, Wang Baole and his companions from Phoenix City were also holding their luggage, each of them very excited. They gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, at the peaks of various departments in the distance, feeling refreshed and filled with indescribable anticipation.

However, compared to their youthful vigor, the old doctor and the teachers who had just walked out of the main hall all had somewhat strange expressions. They were now very familiar with the students from Phoenix City.

Especially familiar was Wang Baole, so they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

This scene was immediately noticed by Wang Baole, who was accustomed to reading people's expressions. Although he was in the crowd, he was always concerned about his assessment results and kept an eye on where the teachers were, which is how he noticed something was off.

"They're all looking at me... Could it be that my assessment results were too outstanding? Haha, it must be that."

Wang Baole was instantly excited, but there was also some confusion in his excitement. The reason was that among the teachers, one with a goatee, when his gaze fell on Wang Baole, seemed to carry a hint of sorrow and anger.

"What's going on..." Wang Baole was suspicious, feeling that the goatee seemed a bit problematic. Before he could think it through, all the teachers, including the goatee, rushed over to them.

"Chen Ziheng, come here, I'll take you to register." As they approached, one of the teachers quickened his steps and spoke to the red-clothed youth.

Chen Ziheng, deep in thought, nodded and walked over, being taken away by the teacher. They could see the two walking and talking, with the teacher seemingly making a strong recommendation.

Seeing this, Wang Baole's eyes lit up, and his breathing quickened. He had a guess, thinking that perhaps his assessment results were starting to take effect at this moment.

His heart raced, filled with anticipation, and he puffed out his chest, afraid that the teachers wouldn't see him.

"Xu Liushan, come with me."

"Liudao Bin, come here." Soon, the teachers called out one name after another, taking them all away.

This scene immediately made everyone's hearts race. They could tell that those who were called out had performed well in the assessment and were being taken away by the teachers, who were extending olive branches to them for their respective departments.

Wang Baole felt smug. Although he hadn't heard his name called, he was very confident in his assessment results. He thought that the later the call, the better the performance, and he had a strong expectation of which teacher would value him.

"If all the teachers value me, what should I do? Oh, what a headache, I don't know how to choose." Wang Baole felt elated, holding his head high. However, after waiting for a long time, even Du Min was called away, and among the hundreds of students around him, only about eighty percent remained. He was a bit stunned.

"It can't be..." Wang Baole wiped the sweat from his forehead, finding it hard to remain calm.

Especially as he saw the teachers continuously taking people away, and with only a few left, until all the teachers had almost left, even the old doctor glanced at Wang Baole and then left. Only the goatee, who looked as if others owed him money, remained. Wang Baole felt a bit dizzy.

At this moment, the goatee, with a sullen face, his chest heaving rapidly, seemed very unwilling and extremely helpless, as if he had no choice but to walk down a difficult path. He spoke.

"Wang Baole, come over here!" The words seemed to be forced out through his teeth, and after saying them, the goatee turned and walked off the airship.

Wang Baole was instantly excited, feeling that the words were like heavenly music. He didn't have time to consider the goatee's expression and quickly ran over, following him very attentively. If the goatee had any luggage, Wang Baole would have eagerly offered to carry it.

As they left, the remaining students were led off the ship. These students, who had not shown any special performance, would choose their departments in the coming days.

At the airfield outside the Lower Academy Island, the goatee, with his hands behind his back and a dark face, was walking briskly. In front of him, some small airships were parked, and some young students in green robes were excitedly waiting there. Whenever they saw a pretty girl, they would immediately run over to greet her. When they saw the goatee walking over, they quickly became respectful.

"Teacher, please walk slowly. Which department are we in?" Behind the goatee, Wang Baole, out of breath, asked. The goatee, being a skilled practitioner, walked very fast, and Wang Baole, who had not practiced ancient martial arts, found it hard to keep up.

The goatee, feeling depressed, took out a purple jade pendant from his pocket and threw it to Wang Baole, who had run over, then grunted.

"Go report to the Law Soldier Department. I have something to do, so I'm leaving." Saying this, he entered a small airship and quickly left.

Wang Baole, catching the jade pendant, was also depressed, noticing the goatee's attitude.

"Could it be that I performed too well and got caught... Sigh, what is the Law Soldier Department?" Wang Baole patted his forehead, holding the jade pendant and standing there, feeling troubled. He unconsciously took out a pack of snacks from his luggage and started eating.

He thought the goatee was too unreliable. In his current predicament, he could only ask around. On the day the new students arrived, the Lower Academy Island of Piaomiao Dao Academy was crowded, and the airfield was like a sea of people. The already hot weather became even more stifling.

Although a lake breeze blew, it brought only heat. Wang Baole stood there, wiping his sweat, and saw a stall selling ice water, called Ice Spirit Water, which was expensive, but Wang Baole was the type who wouldn't deprive himself. Even if it was expensive, he ran over and bought a few bottles, putting them in his luggage.

While drinking the cool Ice Spirit Water, Wang Baole looked around, seeing the bustling airfield and even someone live-streaming the new students' arrival, faintly hearing the sound of asking for gifts.

After some inquiries, Wang Baole didn't spend too much time and gained some understanding of the Law Soldier Department. His heart was immediately on fire, and he sat on a small airship heading to Law Soldier Peak.

When he arrived at Law Soldier Peak, the place was also crowded. Some were there to visit and consider their options, while others had already made their decisions and were there to submit their applications.

There were also many senior students from the Law Soldier Department responsible for reception, guiding the waves of new students. Looking around, the place was bustling with people.

"The Law Soldier Department, though it seems to be about forging, is different. It can refine all things in heaven and earth into treasures!" As the crowd moved forward, Wang Baole listened to the enthusiastic introduction of a horse-faced senior, paying extra attention. It matched what he had learned about the Law Soldier Department, making him feel it was very impressive.

"Our Law Soldier Department at Piaomiao Dao Academy is the best in the entire Federation, whether it's magical weapons, battle weapons, or civilian weapons, we excel in all. Every graduate is highly sought after outside." The horse-faced senior, leading the way, introduced with pride.

"You should have noticed the three large platforms on Law Soldier Peak from the air, those are the three major schools: Spirit Stone School, Pattern School, and Spirit Embryo School!"

"Unlike the basic schools in your hometowns, life at the Dao Academy is relatively free. Each department has fixed schools where both new and old students can study at any time. The rest of the time is mostly for self-cultivation. Although there are annual assessments, they are not particularly strict, with the Upper Academy exam being the key."

"If you fail to enter the Upper Academy within five years, you will have to leave the Dao Academy." Hearing the senior mention the assessment, Wang Baole paid even more attention, as did the others around him.

"However, you don't need to be too nervous. Entering the Upper Academy is still far away for you. Here is where new students submit their department applications." Seeing everyone looking at her, the senior leading the way smiled and stopped beside a ten-zhang stone mirror on the mountainside.

The stone mirror was ancient, standing there with a sense of history, with patterns resembling runes on its surface, making it look very extraordinary.

"Place your application card on it, and you can go down the mountain. Within three days, the Lower Academy will announce the admission lists for the major departments." The horse-faced senior, wiping her sweat and feeling parched, stood to the side, looking at the students in front of her. She felt a sense of nostalgia, as if she saw herself from years ago.

"I wonder how many of these people will be admitted, but I don't think it will be many. After all, each year, we only admit a maximum of four thousand students." As the horse-faced senior sighed, Wang Baole immediately noticed her wiping her sweat and quickly ran over, taking out a bottle of cool Ice Spirit Water from his luggage and handing it to her.

"Senior, you've worked hard. On behalf of all the new students, I thank you for your explanation. It's so hot, senior, have some water." Wang Baole's expression was sincere, and the horse-faced senior couldn't help but look at the little fatty in front of her, feeling a sense of fondness. She had guided new students many times, and such considerate people were rare.

The other students also looked at Wang Baole with approval, as his words were not just for himself but for all of them, which left a good impression.

Seeing that a bottle of Ice Spirit Water had earned him so much goodwill, Wang Baole felt smug, thinking his potential for leadership had increased.

Soon, the students around him, filled with anticipation, approached the stone mirror, taking out a white jade card and placing it on the mirror. The jade card emitted a light, completing the imprint.

Each of them had one of these jade cards, given by the teachers upon arriving at the Lower Academy Island. However, Wang Baole, looking at the jade cards in everyone's hands, was a bit dumbfounded.

"What is this? Why don't I have one..." Wang Baole quickly inquired and learned the source, feeling once again that the goatee was too unreliable.

When everyone had placed their jade cards, only Wang Baole was left. The senior leading the way couldn't help but look at him, concerned.

"Junior, do you have any questions?"

"My card is a bit different from others..." Wang Baole hesitated, touching the purple jade pendant in his pocket and carefully placing it on the stone mirror.

The moment the jade pendant touched the stone mirror, it suddenly burst into intense purple light. The stone mirror itself also emitted a brilliant glow, and a loud rumble echoed throughout Law Soldier Peak.

A shockwave spread out, and all the students around were stunned, retreating in shock.

"What's going on!"

"What's happening!!"

Even Wang Baole was startled.

This was not the end. In the midst of the overwhelming light, a majestic bell toll echoed from the top of Law Soldier Peak, as if announcing to the entire Law Soldier Department!

Ding, ding, ding...

For a moment, everyone in all areas of Law Soldier Peak, whether climbing the mountain, in the schools, or in the buildings on the peak, looked up.

Beside the stone mirror, the horse-faced senior felt her mind buzz, her eyes widening in disbelief, and she exclaimed in shock.

"Special admission student!!"

"What did you say?" Wang Baole was even more confused.

At the same time, as the bell toll echoed, in a grand hall filled with spiritual energy at the top of Law Soldier Peak, the goatee was sitting there reading an ancient book. His heart, which had just calmed, became agitated again.

"This little brat, how did he get here so fast!" He was annoyed, thinking about how his five-year authority was now gone, feeling as if he had regrets.

If no one had disturbed him, it would have been fine, but with the bell toll, several figures quickly ran into the hall, the other teachers of the Law Soldier Department.

"Daoist Zhang Youde, I heard you specially admitted an outstanding student to our Law Soldier Department this time!"

"Haha, Old Zhang, I knew you always had a keen eye. Where is the outstanding student? Bring him over for me to see."

As the teachers entered with excitement, the goatee's face turned dark, feeling as if he had bought dog shit and had to eat it with tears. He could only force a smile.

"Yes, he is an... outstanding student! I have a magical weapon to forge, so I'm leaving..." Saying this, the goatee quickly left, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control and strike the "outstanding student"!
