With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

"The first independent enrollment examination of Jiangcheng Martial Arts University has officially opened for online registration. The examination will be held simultaneously across the country in three days."

"This exam is open to young people aged sixteen to twenty-six throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Regardless of their background, anyone who meets the admission requirements can participate in the exam."

"Of course, some candidates have already entered the field of martial arts, so it is really unfair for them to compete with ordinary people."

Li Cang's voice spread, instantly igniting the passion of countless young people in the Great Xia Dynasty and gaining the approval of many.

"That's right. Asking us, who haven't even started formal cultivation, to compete against this group of martial artists is practically suicide!"

"It has to be the principal; his thinking is so thorough, and he has found a way out for us ordinary people."

Immediately, a group of people started discussing it, as this was their only, and relatively fair, chance to defy fate.

"Therefore, I have decided to give you a fair chance to compete, and I hope you can all persevere."

Then, Li Cang changed the subject, no longer delaying the issue, and publicly announced the complete assessment rules for the first round of independent admissions:

"This assessment is divided into three rounds. The entire process will be supervised by myself, the heads of various martial arts departments, representatives of sects, and others to ensure fairness, impartiality, and transparency, and to eliminate any possibility of favoritism or cheating."

"Round 1: Qualification assessment. This tests the physical foundation, blood and qi concentration, affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, etc. A score of 60 is passing; those who score 60 are eliminated."

"Round Two: Trial of Character. A score of 60 is required to pass; the specific assessment method is unknown. Those who pass this round are qualified to join Wuhan University and can choose whether to participate in the third round of assessment."

"The third round: This is a practical test, the specific methods and rewards/punishments of which are also unknown. Moreover, the third round of assessment includes a real elimination round!"

As Li Cang finished speaking, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"An assessment...it could kill people?!"

"Oh my god, this can't be real!"

"Foolish! We've entered the era of extraordinary martial arts; isn't death normal? If you can't accept that, you don't have to register!"

Some people can't accept it, while others accept it well; after all, who hasn't dreamed of "cultivating immortality"?

Finally, Li Cang added, "In addition, there are only three thousand places available for this enrollment, covering the entire territory of the Great Xia."

Three thousand places may seem like a lot, but in the context of the entire Great Xia, it is pitifully few!

This number silenced the entire audience, only to be followed by an even bigger uproar.

The Great Xia Dynasty is vast, with hundreds of millions of young people of marriageable age. To select three thousand people from hundreds of millions of people is to choose one in ten thousand or even one in a hundred thousand. Each one of them is a true prodigy.

"Finally, let me kindly remind you: don't think that everything is settled just because you've become a martial artist."

In an instant, all the young prodigies present abandoned their contempt, their expressions turned solemn, and they became secretly vigilant. They all knew that this independent enrollment would be the most prestigious and fiercely competitive martial arts event in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty. Everything was unknown, and there was no possibility of learning from any precedent.

Just as the excitement reached its peak, a tall, handsome young figure strode out from one side of the viewing platform.

The young man was dressed in black robes. There was no trace of surging blood and qi around him, nor any sharp pressure emanating from him. Instead, he possessed an otherworldly aura that looked down on all living beings and was so superior that people dared not look him in the eye. He was none other than Lin Yan, who had recently displayed his great power.

After that great battle, Lin Yan crushed the combined attack of most of the geniuses of Great Xia, and his reputation as an invincible young generation has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At this moment, everyone fell silent as he walked to Li Cang's side. All eyes were focused on the young man, and all cameras were pointed at him. He was the center of attention.

The next second, Li Cang stepped aside, his eyes full of expectation as he looked at him: "Next, please welcome the freshman representative from Jiangcheng Martial Arts University to speak."

Goodness, Wuhan University hasn't even recruited any students yet, and the freshman representatives have already been confirmed.

However, this also demonstrates Lin Yan's status at Wuhan University in Jiangcheng.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan strode forward, stood in the center of the platform, calmly swept his gaze across the crowd below, and spoke in a clear, resonant voice that carried far and wide:

"The foundation of Wuhan University in Jiangcheng lies solely in its commitment to public service, integrity, diligence, and courage..."

"...Those seeking promotion and wealth, please go elsewhere; those who fear death, do not enter this gate..."

These few words, simple and unadorned, contain the magnificent spirit of guarding the vast land and protecting the people!

Before long, Lin Yan turned around and calmly left the stage, his black-clad figure remaining in everyone's hearts.

On the high platform, Li Cang smoothly took over the conversation, loudly concluding: "From this day forward, Jiangcheng Martial Arts University is officially established. Ceremony complete!"

Rumble!

In an instant, a barrage of cannon fire shot into the sky, and colorful rays of light bloomed over the city, dazzling and spectacular.

One after another, airplanes flew overhead, carrying flags bearing the emblem of Jiangcheng Martial Arts University. The flags fluttered in the wind, and the six large characters "Jiangcheng Martial Arts University" next to the emblem were written with vigorous strokes and a majestic presence. They shone brightly in the sunlight, as if illuminating the entire landscape.

Even after the grand ceremony concluded, the enthusiasm surrounding the establishment of Jiangcheng Martial Arts University did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it only fueled the passion of all young people aged sixteen to twenty-six in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Everyone, including those martial arts families, sects, and even the young prodigies cultivated by the martial arts department itself, logged onto the official platform immediately, vying to register for the first independent enrollment exam.

In a very short period of time, tens of millions of people successfully registered, and this number is still climbing at a visible rate.

Online, related terms dominated all the trending search lists.

#Wuhan University established in Jiangcheng;

#The First of the New Generation—Lin Yan;

#Lin Yan's speech;

Three thousand seats, billions vying for them...

Meanwhile, undercurrents continued to surge in various places, forming a stark contrast to the apparent prosperity. All hostile forces were secretly watching Jiangcheng, and unanimously planned to take action on the day of the independent enrollment examination at Jiangcheng Martial Arts University.

Deep within the great canyon in the south, the spatial rift in front of Xue Luo widened, with a faint, eerie, and violent power of void turbulence leaking out. However, he suppressed it with the Ten Thousand Sacrifice Blood Pearl, continuously injecting the unique life force of the Blood Soul Clan into it, intending to use it as a coordinate anchor point to establish contact with his clan outside the realm.

"The rise of the Great Xia is inevitable, but it's still possible to create some minor troubles for them and buy time for me to bring in the strongest members of my clan."

Xue Luo muttered to himself, letting out a sinister laugh, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he communicated with the hostile forces of Great Xia who had colluded with him, and with the Blood Sacrifice cultists who had been successfully "brainwashed" by him.

"After patiently lying in wait for a few days, once the independent admissions process begins and the young geniuses of Great Xia gather in Jiangcheng, we will launch a deadly attack on them, severing all hope for Great Xia and destroying their future!"

In a corner unknown to anyone, light and darkness, new life and destruction, have quietly come to a standoff.

Time passed slowly, and soon the day of the independent admissions exam arrived.
