Time passed quickly.
The Imperial City Academy finally welcomed its first round of assessment.
The focus of the assessment was everyone’s change in Mental Realm.
’Xia Tianzhong...’
Chu Lingguang saw Xia Tianzhong be the first to take the assessment.
As descendants of the founding ministers, Xia Tianzhong, Xu Kanghui, and Long Xin didn’t need to participate in the Martial Examination. They were guaranteed hereditary titles and various rewards.
But everyone wanted to make their families even stronger.
Even though the three of them didn’t need the Martial Arts Examination to change their destinies, their families hoped they would stand among the best. They wanted them to compete with their peers, using their performance and strength to determine their family’s legacy.
That was why all three had received the opportunity to cultivate at the Imperial City Academy.
Besides them, Chu Lingguang also saw Zhao Rushuang and a few friends he’d met in the Northern Territory Trial Ground, like Jin Huang and Sima Army.
Even Fatty Qin was among them.
These people were not just children of officials; their cultivation aptitude was also quite good. They had been able to enter the Imperial City Academy to cultivate mainly by placing in the top three of their respective examinations.
Everyone was gathered together.
A wave of Telekinesis swept over the crowd.
Chu Lingguang looked up again, toward a pavilion behind the courtyard.
This time, he saw two figures standing by the pavilion window. When they saw him looking, they couldn’t help but glance at each other before starting to discuss something in low voices.
Xia Tianzhong’s assessment results came out quickly.
He had awakened his Elixir Field Power, a third-category branch manifested as a small stream. His Mental Realm was at the second level, Unity of Heart and Strength, and two responses on his mental realm map had yet to be awakened.
A while later, it was Yan Zhen’s turn.
Before his assessment, Yan Zhen also glanced at the pavilion.
His achievement of Unity of Heart and Body made him the center of attention. His powerful Sword Momentum made even scions of Royal and Noble Families like Xia Tianzhong, Xu Kanghui, and Long Xin feel inferior and pressured.
Forty-five minutes later, Tuoba Yunhong stepped forward.
A surge of Sword Momentum brought with it a sharp edge, as if thousands of Sword Shadows were forming around his body. His Mental Realm was at the second level, Unity of Heart and Strength, and all the responses on his mental realm map had been awakened. It seemed he was on the verge of stepping into the third level of the Mental Realm, Unity of Heart and Body.
Although his Mental Realm results were not as good as Yan Zhen’s, Tuoba Yunhong felt no pressure. He took a look around; besides Yan Zhen, who had reached the third level, everyone else was at the second level like him. Furthermore, most of them still had responses on their mental realm maps that had not been awakened.
Fifteen minutes later, it was Zhao Rushuang’s turn.
Second-level Mental Realm, all responses on her mental realm map awakened, only a step away from the third level. Seeing this, Tuoba Yunhong’s expression soured slightly.
A short while later, it was Chu Lingguang’s turn.
He didn’t hold back, openly revealing his third-level Mental Realm, the Unity of Heart and Body. Although his Elixir Field Power was inferior to Yan Zhen’s, the assessment was a competition of Mental Realm strength.
When his mental realm map opened, everyone saw that on the foundation of his Unity of Heart and Body, Chu Lingguang had not awakened any responses. But upon seeing this, Yan Zhen nodded to himself. He clearly realized that Chu Lingguang understood that the power formed from awakening multiple responses simultaneously would be much stronger.
Yan Zhen had reached the Unity of Heart and Body realm ten days ago. In those ten days, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to awaken a few responses, but he hadn’t. Like Chu Lingguang, he was searching for that rare, synergistic connection point among the different responses.
He hadn’t been led astray by the immediate temptation.
The assessment was over in less than half a day, and the results were announced quickly.
A guy named Qin Yu had not only reached the third-level Mental Realm but had also awakened seven responses. According to the mental realm map, at the third level, one hundred and twenty-three response points appeared in the body—several times more than at the second level, Unity of Heart and Strength.
Qin Yu had awakened seven responses at the third level, and those seven were clearly awakened simultaneously. With the power formed by these seven responses, even if it didn’t come with its own innate momentum, he would probably break through his Dantian Qi Sea and step into the True Martial Realm faster than anyone else.
He took first place.
Yan Zhen ranked second.
Chu Lingguang ranked fifth.
A guy named Meng Xiaochuan had also reached the third level. Although he hadn’t awakened any other responses on top of that, he had advanced his Mental Realm earlier than Chu Lingguang, only two days after Yan Zhen.
Then there was a guy named Pu Shiyi, who ranked fourth. He had achieved his Mental Realm advancement one day after Meng Xiaochuan, both of them before Chu Lingguang.
As for Tuoba Yunhong, he was three spots behind Chu Lingguang, almost pushed out of the top ten.
’Everyone here is like me, capable of placing in the top three at a minimum. Even Yan can’t completely dominate the field.’
’Qin Yu, Meng Xiaochuan, Pu Shiyi... I seem to remember those three soaking in the pool earlier than me.’
Chu Lingguang thought to himself.
He knew this place was full of hidden masters. He was content with placing in the top five. As for first place, he would definitely fight for it if he had the chance.
After the assessment ended, there were no classes. Everyone gathered in small groups to discuss the Mental Realm evolution Magic.
The strong always liked to flock together.
Qin Yu called over Yan Zhen, Meng Xiaochuan, and Pu Shiyi. Of course, Chu Lingguang was included as well. The five of them expressed their different views on the Mental Realm evolution Magic.
Qin Yu said, "My master once told me that to step into the True Martial Realm, we must continue to evolve our Elixir Field Power. All of us have reached the third-level Mental Realm, and each of us has one hundred and twenty-three response points in our bodies. I’ve already awakened seven responses simultaneously. It’s a pity that the power in my Dantian has reached a bottleneck. To evolve again, I’m afraid I’ll need to awaken at least eighty response points."
