Did I say something wrong again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang didn’t mind; he merely chuckled and moved past the topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s about up. Let’s watch the Immortal Examination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table’s surface and smiled: “Found them—Little Chu and the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rotations of the mirror-and-moon image, it finally stabilized on the “region” of Xichuan Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the hundred or so candidates, they instantly spotted Chu Wange in her bright red robe, then saw Lin Mo standing beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang’s expression grew slightly complex: “These two young friends really are... inseparable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhu Xiao and Old Li exchanged glances; the latter instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li spoke respectfully: “Two Xianzhang, is our earlier agreement still valid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not referring to the deal made with Chu Wange, but the one made with the “bonus item”—Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after a single glance at the Immortal Ascension Platform, both Zhu Xiao and Old Li felt a flicker of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qinzhou is brimming with talent; this year’s Immortal candidates seem far more numerous than in past years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, there may be over ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the combined enrollment capacity of the Nine Great Academies never exceeds one thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, at least ninety percent of these ten thousand candidates will fail to enter any of the Nine Great Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ye Chen, bearing the title of [Yellow-Rank Destiny Child], cannot guarantee admission to the Nine Great Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before arriving, Zhu Xiao had already discussed this with Old Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Wange need not worry—if she fails, then few of these ten thousand candidates will succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s cultivation is average among the candidates, but he is still a Destiny Child, so he has a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lin Mo—though his fortune surged dramatically over the past month and he rose unexpectedly—still cannot escape his mediocre innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To pass the Nine Great Academies by his own strength alone is nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Mo could secure a direct admission slot beforehand, it would be a great benefit for Nanshan No. 4 High.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, today their goal is to fully “assist” Lin Mo and secure that direct admission slot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But events did not unfold as smoothly as they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Old Li’s question, Meng Xianzhang’s expression showed clear hesitation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding Little Lin, I reported his case to the academy upon returning, but his cultivation and talent are truly...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, glancing at Feng Xianzhang beside him, who looked back in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That oaf—why didn’t he jump in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently grumbled in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li pressed urgently: “Meng Xianzhang, you’re not going back on your word, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the other could reply, Zhu Xiao shot him a sharp look:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Li, how dare you speak like that? Meng Xianzhang represents the Nine Great Academies—how could he break his word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang clearly saw their act; he waved a hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Li, don’t rush—it’s not that the agreement is invalid, but for Lin Mo to earn a direct admission slot, he must score over five hundred points in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination. This is the lowest threshold set by the Wenda Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stressed the words “lowest,” making it clear this was no excuse—it was the academy’s final, agreed-upon decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Feng Xianzhang nodded and added: “Qingshan Sect agrees as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was not merely the Wenda Academy’s stance—it was an unspoken rule among all Nine Great Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred points... Zhu Xiao and Old Li exchanged glances, each seeing the worry in the other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the total score of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination is one thousand, its difficulty far exceeds that of ordinary Immortal Exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many candidates who score six or seven hundred in ordinary exams may still fail to reach five hundred here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to speak again, the Immortal Ascension Platform suddenly shifted—golden light blazed fiercely from the heavens, and the bell’s resonance once again echoed through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden scroll radiating vast immortal energy slowly unfurled atop the platform, its radiance engulfing the entire structure; every candidate standing upon it was instantly bathed in golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s beginning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Meng Xianzhang and Feng Xianzhang’s expressions grew more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just them—even the Immortal Masters from all the academies atop Great Ming Mountain wore similar expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the awe-inspiring might of the Heavenly Dao, their solemnity stemmed from “performance metrics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct admissions before the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination were a disguised form of “betting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each academy selected promising candidates beforehand and extended offers—this was a form of “betting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Ascension Platform, in a sense, was a gambling table, where the prize was who had bet on the candidate who would claim first place on this year’s Immortal Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the shift in atmosphere, Zhu Xiao and Old Li held their breath, eyes locked on the mirror-and-moon image, their hearts tightening with tension...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Old Li—his palms clenched tight as he silently urged: Lin Mo, we’ve done all we can. You’d better step up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the Immortal Ascension Platform, gentle golden light poured down; Lin Mo felt a warm current flow through his body, and Chu Wange’s voice reached his ears:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t resist—the first round test has begun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first round test?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed Lin Mo’s eyes; the Heavenly Dao’s first round test seemed more direct than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of golden light was similar to when Meng Xianzhang had tested him before, yet far gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao’s testing light was like the lingering glow of dawn—brilliant yet not blinding, warm and irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Lin Mo’s first-round test results appeared on his panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation]: Qi Refining 7th Layer...
