Cultivation Mission System - Chapter 24

7 days later.

Day of the selections. Mo Feng got ready early in the morning, bid goodbye to Hong’er and entered the inner city gate.

He soon reached the entrance of Longfeng academy to see a crowd of tens of thousands of people. He roughly estimated there should be about twelve to fifteen thousand people coming for selections.

Longfeng Academy would recruit 100 new students for each school every year to provide a steady stream of new disciples.

Once a person became a student of the academy, he and his family will be protected by the academy and the country, and his family status will be improved.

Everyone is gathered around an elevated platform waiting for the Academy teachers to come and announce the details about the examination.

There were discussions surrounding Mo Feng like which school they are applying and how confident they were about getting selected, etc.,

The one thing Mo Feng noticed that many were discussing was who will get the top place in the selections in each school. Long Yingfeng already informed him that the top 3 people in the selections will get special prices which will help them in their cultivation.

After waiting close to one hour, finally 3 teachers arrived and a scholarly looking man among them spoke loudly “Candidate for the selection of each school of the school stand separately and follow your respective teacher for the test.”

Immediately there was a buzz in the crows and everyone separated into 3 groups, and Mo Feng and his group followed the man who had a build like Arnold Schwarzenegger inside the Academy.

As soon as they crossed the gates of the academy and entered the place, Mo Feng felt a huge change of environment and atmospheric Qi.

The rest of the city is bustling and lively, but with the crowd and pollution, the Qi was not pure, whereas inside the academy, the place looked fresh and the atmospheric Qi was pure. Mo Feng guessed it must be because of a formation separating the city and the academy.

They followed the teacher and soon reached another location where a huge pagoda was present. The pagoda looked magnificent with a full golden color and gave off a mysterious aura.

In front of the pagoda, there were few people waiting sitting on a chair and table.

Once the crowd settled down, the bulky man spoke “Everyone presents your selection token and the teachers verify your age and cultivation level before entering the Saintly Spirit Selection Tower.”

“The people who reach the 5th level of the pagoda will be selected to attend the academy as nominal students.”

“Please be noted, the entrance criteria have been changed for this year. If your age is above 20 and your cultivation level is below Qi Acquiring 5th stage, you will be disqualified before even entering the tower.”

There was a commotion in the crowd when everyone heard the final announcement of the bulky man.

After listening to the nearby students, Mo Feng understood that last year, as long as a person reached Qi Acquiring 1st stage within the age of 20, he or she is allowed to be tested in the pagoda, but this year the criteria were changed to being Qi Acquiring 5th stage.

When everyone was discussing the change, a handsome young man in blue clothes went ahead to test his age and cultivation.

Seeing the young man many girls’ eyes brightened with a lovestruck look and many guys discussed fervently him.

“That’s Bai Jinghong, a genius from the Bai family who is already at Innate Qi 2nd stage master and he is only 16 years old this year.”

“He is considered to be the closest one to break the record Long Haotian created in Saintly spirit selection tower three years ago.”

“Not only him. Lady Xue is also a genius from the Feng family who has already been selected with a special permission, and she reached only one floor lesser than Long Haotian in the tower and she promised to defeat his highest floor ranking in a year.”

These people were discussing enthusiastically and Mo Feng noted 3 names which keep popping up; Ling Haotian, Feng Xue, Bai Jinghong, who are considered monstrous geniuses that haven’t appeared in hundreds of years.

Mo Feng was also shocked by the cultivation level and age of Bai Jinghong.

In Red Mountain city he was considered a genius but here in the capital city, he could find many people with the same level of his cultivation at his age, there are even hundreds of people at his age who has a higher cultivation level than him.

He also was very interested to know the cultivation levels of Long Haotian and Feng Xue, and how strong they are currently.

Apart from Bai Jinghong, he also found close to ten people who already reached the level of Innate Qi master.

After Bai Jinghong many other people submitted their token and proceeded to the pagoda after testing their age and cultivation.

Mo Feng noticed that the selection token the people have submitted has different materials like bronze, silver, gold, etc., but he didn’t know the significance of the different tokens.

He waited for a while before proceeding to submit his token.

The person collecting the token paused for a moment seeing the golden selection token, then controlled himself and said “Place your hand on the age measuring stone.”

Once he checked the age and used his aura to confirm his cultivation, he noted down “Age 15, Cultivation: Qi Acquiring 7th stage, Proceed to the tower.”

The bulky man, He Song who announced the details about the selection test has been standing on the side and observing everything since the beginning.

He concentrated on Mo Feng since the moment he showed the golden selection token.

Golden selection token is a special token and only 10 were issued for every selection test.

As long as a person has the entrance criteria, even if they didn’t pass the required levels in the tower, he or she will still become a nominal student.

When he found out his age and cultivation level, he snorted in disdain and thought “Another one who uses their connections to get into the academy.”

He Song believed Mo Feng only increased his cultivation by using swallowing pills when he found that Mo Feng is at only Qi Acquiring 7th stage since only such people use the golden selection token.

Mo Feng didn’t know that he had already earned the anger and disdain of a high level teacher of his school without even knowing it and walked towards the tower in anticipation.

He only learnt about the criteria and level of tests he had to clear in the tower to get selected by the academy from Long Yingfeng, but nothing regarding what kind of tests he had to experience inside the tower.

‘Ding!’

“System Prompt: Achieve first place in the selection test. Reward: 1 level up, 1 lottery token, 1 special reward.”

‘Why do I feel that my level is increasing more from the system reward than by killing monster beasts?’ wondered Mo Feng while entering the tower.

Mo Feng found that he entered a big fighting platform and a masked man with one level higher than him is standing in front of him.

He heard a sound from everywhere around him “Defeat the opponent to move to the next stage.”

Mo Feng smiled with confidence and rushed at the masked man.
