My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 79 Opening of Yanhuang Academy

"Coming right away."

Helpless, Li Chen put away the card and used a time-space teleportation technique to leave Gu Xuan Star.

When he reappeared, he had returned to the area beneath the boundary markers on Pioneer Star.

Above the boundary marker, his name is still ranked second, because he has not attacked the boundary marker again.

Li Chen was no longer very interested in the ranking, and he was at least trying to save face for the principal.

As you pass the boundary markers, the noise immediately becomes louder.

The entire playground was full of people, mostly young men and women in their twenties.

But surprisingly, there were quite a few boys and girls who were fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Teacher Li Chen, over here—"

Huang Weixing walked over and said loudly, "There's a test coming up later, let's go watch it on stage."

"An entrance exam?" Li Chen asked, puzzled.

"Similar to a sect's assessment."

As Huang Weixing walked, he explained, "The original plan was that only high school graduates who were going to university this year would be eligible to enter Yanhuang Academy, but the public reaction was so strong that the requirements were relaxed."

"Does this condition mean that one must pass an examination to enter Yanhuang Academy?" Li Chen asked.

"Teacher Li Chen's guess is correct, that's exactly right."

Professor Huang Weixing replied: "Although Yanhuang Academy is very large and can theoretically accommodate hundreds of millions of people, that is only in theory. Such an academy cannot accumulate population without limit like a city, even if there is an entire planet called Kaituo Star."

"Striving for perfection is indeed better."

Li Chen agreed with the above approach: "So, how many people do you plan to recruit this year?"

"This year's enrollment quota is 10,000, of course, this quota does not include special admissions."

Teacher Huang Weixing replied, "Special admissions refer to people who have awakened their special abilities. Regardless of age, as long as they have awakened their abilities, they can be admitted without taking an exam. However, their treatment will depend on their cultivation speed and combat strength at the same level later on."

"Are there age restrictions for those who need to be assessed?"

Li Chen looked at everyone on the playground: "What age range is this?"

"From fifteen to twenty-four years old."

Huang Weixing led Li Chen to the stands at the edge of the playground and pointed to everyone below: "This age group is exactly the age range of most people from the first year of high school to the fourth year of college."

"What are the assessment criteria?" Li Chen was about to find a seat at random.

Just then, Principal Qin Xiaotian walked over and stopped him: "Teacher Li Chen, your seat is at the front, come with me."

Li Chen followed along in confusion and was soon led to the front row.

"Did you see your name? This was reserved especially for you."

Qin Xiaotian said, "I might need your help with a small matter during the assessment later."

"What kind of busy?" Li Chen asked, puzzled.

"Release your aura, of course, just release it naturally, there's no need to specifically target these students."

Qin Xiaotian explained, "Among these students, there might be foreign spies. We need to investigate and use some special methods to expose those with ulterior motives."

Li Chen suddenly realized, sat down in his seat, and asked, "Other countries must have similar institutions of higher learning, right?"

"That's natural. There are only four universities in the world, and our Yanhuang Academy is one of them."

Qin Xiaotian placed a booklet on the table in front of Li Chen and replied, "The other three academies are the Royal Magic Academy in Northern Europe, the Spear of God Academy in South America, and the Immortal Academy in South Asia."

""

"So, the Yanhuang Academy belongs exclusively to our country?" Li Chen asked in surprise.

"I guess so, but not entirely."

Qin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Some long-term allies can also come to study, and their treatment is the same as that of Chinese citizens."

Li Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then, Teacher Li Chen, you should rest first. I'll send you a telepathic message when I need your help. By the way, do you know any telepathic techniques?"

Qin Xiaotian picked up the booklet on the table in front of Li Chen and opened it to a page: "This is the technique of transmitting sound. You should learn it."

The following content is today's assessment.

"Okay." Li Chen nodded.

After Qin Xiaotian left, he looked at the telepathic techniques in the booklet.

This little trick of transmitting sound can only be considered a little trick, not even a magic spell.

With his terrifying comprehension, he learned it in just one glance and has already mastered it completely.

"I see, so it's a way of utilizing divine sense?"

Because it requires the use of divine sense, this sound transmission technique can only be learned by mortals at the eighth level of cultivation.

According to his understanding, this sound transmission technique is actually a kind of spiritual resonance technique, which is somewhat similar to spacetime teleportation, as both involve resonance.

Having learned how to transmit sound, Li Chen turned the page and looked at the assessment content at the end.

The first test is very simple: withstand mental pressure. The longer you can endure it, the better your score will be.

The second task is to withstand the pressure from qi and blood, which requires his intervention.

The third item is a test of comprehension.

There are only these three assessment items in total, and the final selection will be based on the scores. Out of everyone present, only 10,000 people will be selected.

It really does resemble a sect's assessment. It seems that Yanhuang Academy is not a purely academic institution.

Closing the booklet, Li Chen took out the information given to him by the old Taoist priest Liang Li again and studied the unfinished spell on it.

He was most interested in knowledge about spatial formations and the balance of the five elements.

When he was researching spatial arrays, he accidentally created a spacetime teleportation technique. However, his research on spatial arrays was not yet complete, and the spacetime teleportation technique was a product of accident.

The playground below was enormous, and Xiao Qingyi and the other four were also there, more than eighty meters away from the stands.

"Look at that person, isn't that Li Chen? Why is he sitting in the stands?" Zhang Qilong suddenly pointed to the stands and said.

Xiao Qingyi and the other three also looked at the location Zhang Qilong pointed to, and were immediately stunned.

"He does look like Li Chen from Mango Village, but isn't that the teacher's seat?"

"Could he be a specially admitted student? It's said that specially admitted students don't need to take an exam."

"Given his talent, it's understandable that he was specially recruited, but isn't there a problem with him ending up in that position?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

Although their previous mission was to patrol Mango Village and be on alert for any unusual activity, they had also heard about the situation in the Wild Forest and knew about Li Chen's terrifying combat power.

With the opening of Yanhuang Academy, they all plan to come and give it a try because they are of suitable age.

It would be best if we could pass the assessment, but it doesn't matter if we can't.

However, they were still very confident in their talents. After all, they were already cultivators and had long since embarked on the path of cultivation. Now, they had almost all reached the perfection of the Body Tempering Realm.

As it got closer to nine o'clock in the morning, more and more people entered the playground.

Not only did people preparing to take the assessment come in, but many students' parents also came in.

However, almost everyone over the age of 24 was kept outside the playground, resulting in a huge crowd.

Including students and parents, the number is probably at least 100,000, or even more.

"Hey, Big Brother Niu, isn't that Li Chen?"

Suddenly, amidst the cacophony of voices, Li Chen heard this sentence.

His hearing is now amazing; he can easily break down countless noises and hear every syllable clearly.
