Chapter 932: Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm!

The Spirit Jade Test is a major annual event in the academy.

Its purpose is to test the disciples' sensitivity to the Four Spirit Jade.

Wànlíng Xuégōng has always been a special institution.

Compared with other academies that use talent as the sole recruitment criterion, Wànlíng Xuégōng has an even more important assessment: the sensitivity to the Four Spirit Jade.

Among the talented disciples, only those who can communicate with and resonate with the Spirit Jade may enter Wànlíng Xuégōng as members.

Each subsequent year the academy organizes a Spirit Jade Test; all disciples must participate or be expelled. High‑scoring disciples may enter the four Spirit Jade academies—Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Qilin—to train as core disciples and receive greater cultivation resources.

To motivate diligent cultivation, the Four Great Academies employ a bottom‑rank elimination system. Disciples already training in the Four Spirit Academies who perform poorly in the Spirit Jade Test will also be expelled from the Four Great Academies and become ordinary disciples.

In addition, the academy gives extra rewards to the top ten scorers; prizes may be treasure weapons, pills, or Talismans, among others.

Especially for the first‑place disciple, special permission is granted to train in the other three Spirit Jade academies.

It should be known that Spirit Jade resources are limited, and personal ability is limited; the academy generally forbids disciples from cultivating multiple Spirit Jade powers simultaneously, unless they secure first place in the annual Spirit Jade Test.

In recent years many disciples have taken first place, yet fewer than three have truly mastered two or more Spirit Jade powers at once.

For centuries, disciples who have mastered three Spirit Jade powers are few enough to count on one hand; only Qiu Yue Lang has simultaneously mastered four, each to great depth, becoming a legend of his generation.

"Yes, Master!" Su Luo Qiu nodded forcefully, a flash of edge in her eyes.

In recent Spirit Jade Tests, although Qiu Yue Lang never participated, she was always edged out by the Vermilion Bird Academy, only achieving second place and never gaining the chance to cultivate other Spirit Jade powers.

These years she has trained diligently, her resonance with the White Tiger Spirit Jade growing stronger; this time she will surely break through to level six, outshine the Vermilion Bird Academy, and claim first place in the Spirit Jade Test!

"Master, I won't disappoint you this time!" Su Luo Qiu added, her tone resonant and forceful.

This time, she is determined to win!

Lu Badao nodded with satisfaction, "This time, don't disappoint me again!"

"Did you just feel it? Two Great Emperor auras came from the cafeteria!"

"Are the two Great Emperors fighting? Could it be the heads of the Four Great Academies?"

"It's been a long time since the academy saw something like this, right?"

In every corner of the academy, disciples were all discussing the matter.

Lu Badao's expression turned frantic as he ran toward the direction of the Emperor aura, and hearing the conversation, he couldn't help but halt.

"May I ask what exactly just happened?"

Lu Badao asked.

"Oh my god, don't joke like that! That person in the cafeteria must not be him! If that stinky man catches me, I'm doomed!" Lu Badao wailed inwardly.

"Oh, here's what happened: just now the abbot of White Horse Temple found Ye Qingran at the entrance of the Western Garden Cafeteria, saying he wanted to avenge his son Wu Zhishang, but unexpectedly a chef stepped forward, and no one expected that chef to be a Great Emperor of the Nirvana Realm..."

Chef? Great Emperor?

Lu Badao's pupils contracted.

"Mother, it matches!"

Before, that person knew nothing about cooking; because she was a foodie, that man never touched plain water with his index finger, then transformed into a super chef.

"But wasn't he at the Boundless Realm? How did he become Nirvana Realm? Could it be someone else? I hope I'm overthinking..." Lu Badao self‑hypnotized.

"Alright, thank you!" After expressing gratitude to that disciple, Lu Badao bit his lower lip, his face tangled with conflict.

"Shall we go to the cafeteria to confirm?"

"No! If we're too close, he'll definitely notice me!"

While Lu Badao was conflicted, several figures walked toward here; she didn't notice until...

"So you really are here!"

Upon hearing that voice, Lu Badao's whole body stiffened, a flash of terror appearing in his eyes.

She turned stiffly, staring at the face inches away, her lips turning white.

"Y-you, how are you here?"

The man curled his lip in a smile, "Because I knew you were here, I came to find you."

Lu Badao looked at the young, handsome face before him and frowned.

The man is Ling Qiye, the young master of the Ling Family, the foremost family of the Spiritual Realm, as well as the realm's top prodigy; twenty‑eight this year, already a peak‑level Emperor‑type powerhouse, renowned throughout the Spiritual Realm.

Ling Qiye not only possesses a powerful background and extraordinary talent and strength, but also a strikingly handsome visage.

It can be said that Ling Qiye has countless followers in the Spiritual Realm, countless women go crazy for him, dreaming of marrying him!

But not Lu Badao!

"Ling Qiye, how did you know I was here?"

Lu Badao's voice deepened, his gaze at Ling Qiye full of guard, and he instinctively stepped back a few paces, widening the distance.

"Qiqi, we haven't met in ages, and you're this cold?"

His tone was affectionate, as if they were a couple.

"Ling Qiye, we're not familiar!"

Lu Badao, or we could call her Lu Qiqi.

Anyone well‑versed in the Spiritual Realm present would have heard the name Lu Qiqi.

Because Lu Qiqi is the daughter of the Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm!
