They all knew very clearly that only by passing the assessment could they enter Zhongzhou Academy, but they did not know how the assessment would be conducted.
“According to the academy’s regulations, there are only ten spots for the Zhongzhou Academy recruitment this time, meaning only ten people out of so many of you can pass the assessment!”
Elder Wuming said directly with a calm look in his eyes, as if he already knew.
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly startled. They had long known that Zhongzhou Academy did not have many students and that the number of people assessed each year was very small, but they never expected it to be so demanding.
“Ten spots? Isn’t that too few?”
A man stepped forward and said, “So many peerless prodigies have come to Liuli City with the purpose of entering Zhongzhou Academy. If there are only ten spots, won’t that…”
“Those who can enter Zhongzhou Academy will have endless possibilities in the future!”
Elder Wuming chuckled, “Moreover, Zhongzhou Academy has limited resources and only cultivates top-tier geniuses. If you cannot stand out from the crowd, what right do you have to become a genius of Zhongzhou Academy!”
Faced with these words, everyone present was instantly silenced. Elder Wuming’s words were not wrong.
At the same time, Hu Xian’er frowned, naturally not expecting things to turn out this way. If there were indeed only ten spots, with their combined strength, they might not be able to enter Zhongzhou Academy.
“With only ten spots, it seems unlikely to enter Zhongzhou Academy!”
Xu Kuo showed a bitter smile. He had been called a genius since childhood, and he had also become the Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land from a small sect. All the way, he had been lauded as a genius, but this time he was shaken, because he knew that everyone who could come to Liuli City were truly top geniuses.
Zhao Tiannan stood by, his expression also changing slightly. He had come to Zhongzhou full of confidence, but after his last battle with Lu Fan, he seemed to understand that there were always heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. The world was not lacking in experts.
Now with only ten spots, how could he enter Zhongzhou Academy? With his abilities, it would be extremely difficult to stand out in Liuli City.
At the same time, Lu Fan and the young master of the Tao family exchanged glances and frowned. They could sense that these people in Liuli City were not ordinary, and among them were peerless experts. If there were only ten spots, even they might be eliminated.
“Not far from Liuli City lies the Ancient Battlefield. Within the Ancient Battlefield, there are ten Spirit Pearls. As long as one obtains a Spirit Pearl, they can enter Zhongzhou Academy!”
Elder Wuming said, “However, I must make it clear beforehand that the Ancient Battlefield is extremely dangerous, not only containing numerous formations but also many ferocious beasts. Very few people can come out alive from there. If you do not have absolute strength, it is best to give up this opportunity!”
“Ancient Battlefield!”
Following these words, the figures of the people present trembled. They were originally indignant, but after hearing those words, they instantly felt something was wrong.
What kind of place was the Ancient Battlefield? The proud sons of heaven in Zhongzhou knew it best. That was a graveyard, the graveyard of the strong. Those who entered the Ancient Battlefield and could come out alive were probably only one in ten, and these people all became big figures in the future.
“The assessment begins now. As long as you obtain a Spirit Pearl, you will be eligible to enter Zhongzhou Academy!” Elder Wuming’s expression was indifferent. “As for the peerless divine weapons you carried, they have all been confiscated by me. With such divine artifacts, you cannot enter the battlefield!”
Everyone present nodded. Although they felt somewhat helpless, since things had come to this point, they seemed to have no other choice.
At the same time, Hu Xian’er looked at Lu Fan and said, “If I’m not mistaken, when we enter the Ancient Battlefield, there will inevitably be a difficult battle, as there are so many people, and others likely have their own ambitions!”
“Yes, yes!”
Hu Yu quickly nodded, “If we go together, we won’t be bullied, after all, there are many people and it’s easier to get things done!”
“I thought so too!” Xu Kuo nodded, and at the same time, he looked towards Lu Fan, “I just don’t know if Brother Haotian and Brother Tao are willing to take us along? After all, with your strength, you don’t have to fear these things then.”
“We are all friends, so let’s go together!” Lu Fan said indifferently, not paying too much attention.
In fact, he could see that even if Hu Xian’er and the others entered the Ancient Battlefield, they might not necessarily obtain the Spirit Pearls.
There were only ten Spirit Pearls, and Lu Fan could faintly sense that in Liuli City, there were more than ten extremely hidden auras, which even made him feel wary. When it truly came to competing for the Spirit Pearls, even he would find it somewhat strenuous.
However, at the same time, Lu Fan was also somewhat shocked. He clearly did not expect the underlying power in Zhongzhou to be so strong, and the number of experts among the younger generation to be so numerous. No wonder they said in the Eastern Region that Zhongzhou was the true land of prodigies. It seemed that this saying was not wrong.
After a period of conversation, everyone finally got up and headed towards the Ancient Battlefield, but they were not in too much of a hurry.
The Ancient Battlefield was extremely dangerous. It wasn’t that whoever entered the Ancient Battlefield could obtain a Spirit Pearl. Perhaps those who entered first would be trapped by formations, so they were not in a rush.
After a while, the expressions of a few of them arrived outside the Ancient Battlefield. Looking at the powerful magnetic field of the Ancient Battlefield, the young master of the Tao family frowned slightly, “Within the Ancient Battlefield, there is a great magnetic field force, and the power of the killing formations is likely extremely strong. Be extremely careful when entering!”
Everyone nodded slightly, their expressions becoming even more serious. They were naturally very clear about what Young Master Tao had said.
Zhao Tiannan, not far away, glanced at Lu Fan and the others, and then directly entered the Ancient Battlefield. He had originally wanted to team up with Hu Xian’er and the others, but unfortunately, Hu Xian’er was with Lu Fan and the others, making him unable to show his face.
Although they were all from the Eastern Region, Zhao Tiannan had fallen out with Lu Fan, so he naturally had no such face.
“Zhao Tiannan going alone is likely to be a grim fate!” Hu Xian’er frowned, “Should we call him to join us?”
“If Miss Hu wants to go with him, she can go!” The young master of the Tao family narrowed his eyes, his words even more sharp.
Hu Xian’er was slightly taken aback and then said no more. What the young master of the Tao family had just said clearly showed his displeasure. She did not dare to offend him easily, as she might need his help after entering the Ancient Battlefield.
“Let’s go in!” Lu Fan said in a low voice.
