Chapter 749: Chapter 430: The Far-Reaching Fame (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

Distant pedestrians swarmed over with quite a commotion.

Whether they had met once or twice before, or didn’t know each other at all, these onlookers all approached with nearly excessive enthusiasm, speaking in especially pleasing tones.

What they inquired about, directly or indirectly, revolved around a single issue—what exactly was inside the Academy’s Secret Realm? What was it that kept them indoors for half a month at a time?

Actually, it wasn’t half a month without going outside—they went out to work every day.

But why exert themselves to the fullest in their jobs? Of course, it was to exchange for one or two more inheritances.

A Six Senses powerhouse was about to speak up, hoping to show off their experiences inside the Academy and see if they could drop a few jaws.

But just as the words were about to leave their lips, they paused, as if something had come to mind, and the direction of their speech changed abruptly.

Their previously raised eyebrows drooped, and their face fell.

"Ah, we lead such hard lives in the Academy. Not only are our quarters cramped, but we’re also exhausted day after day... This life, it’s practically killing me."

Other powerhouses who were also ready to boast swallowed back their words when they heard this.

They waved their hands, echoing similar sentiments.

"Ah~"

"It’s tragic!"

"This life is exhausting to the death."

The Ready-to-Show-Off Convention instantly became a Pity Party.

The preparatory students all understood.

Show-off might be fine, but was it as important as the opportunity to become official students?

It was extremely difficult to obtain official student status, partly because of the difficulty of the assessments and partly because of the limited number of spots. If all these people outside were allowed entry to the Academy, wouldn’t their already scarce chances of becoming official students become even slimmer?

This wouldn’t do!

After complaining pitifully, the preparatory students who had come out to watch the fun stealthily slipped back into the Secret Realm, leaving behind a crowd of Awakeners looking at each other in bewilderment.

They suspected these folks were spouting nonsense, but they had no evidence!

If living in the Academy was all about hardship, why was the Thunderfire Bear licking its chops to return, and why did you all seem to enjoy it so much?

There’s something fishy!

There’s a big conspiracy at hand!

They made inquiries all around, and since the number of preparatory students wasn’t small, some powerful representatives of major forces often kept in touch with the outside world.

The information spread quietly, like an undercurrent beneath the surface of a lake.

"Brother, let me tell you a secret, a big secret."

"This Academy harbors opportunities, and as long as we can get in and rub up against them a little, the rewards will definitely be no less than discovering a Candela ruin!"

"And it’s said that as long as we are willing to study there, the Academy is willing to grant us the status of preparatory students."

No one would want to miss such an opportunity for an absolute windfall.

So, in a short while, a large group of Four Senses, Five Senses, and Six Senses powerhouses gathered in front of Palace, looking at each other with the awkwardness of a collision in their eyes.

They cleared their throats and made a request to the guards of the Academy.

What they got in response was the guards’ puzzled looks.

"When did you get the impression that the status of preparatory students was available in unlimited quantities?"

"It’s only because our Academy has just joined the world that we gave you all such a great opportunity on the first day. It’s just a pity that most of you weren’t able to grasp it."

"Now, we will only grant the status of preparatory students to those who are sufficiently excellent."

"Oh, of course, after some time, our Academy will hold a large enrollment conference. Those who pass will gain the status of quasi-official students."

...

Assessments, enrollment conferences, and passing only gets you the quasi-official student status? Isn’t that a bit too harsh!

They are powerhouses, guests of many large forces.

Someone murmured.

However, as more and more information flowed out of the Academy, many changed their expressions. Especially the wandering strong practitioners and those from smaller forces, whose envy for the Academy’s Land of Inheritance grew stronger.

As they pondered how to obtain a preparatory student status for themselves, within the Academy, the preparatory students were facing the three-month mark.

"Your performance over these three months has been observed by the Academy. Next, I will announce the list of people who have passed the assessment and will be promoted to official students."

Gou Ping’an appeared again, still using a MAX-level ’disguise’ skill to alter his appearance and body shape.

After all, carrying out dismissals, which was bound to offend people, was something to be done without showing his real face if possible.

The hundred or so preparatory members were stunned, "No assessment needed?"

"Your performance is the assessment. Every day for these three months, you have been undergoing assessment."

He announced the pass list.

He mentioned just over a dozen names, and that was it.

Out of more than a hundred people, only around a dozen passed the assessment? Keep in mind that they weren’t mediocre Awakeners. To sprint along the thorny path of Awakening to the rank of Commander or King, they were already geniuses in the conventional sense, one in a thousand, one in ten thousand kind of geniuses.

And yet, they had failed, and quite thoroughly at that.

"Why?"

Someone whispered, then reconsidered and found it normal.

The Academy, as a sacred ground for cultivation, it was hard to truly stay, wasn’t it?

But even with this thought, they were still unwilling to accept it.

"Lack of diligence in cultivation, only focusing on the Land of Inheritance, impure thoughts, etc. You all have these shortcomings to some extent, which is one of the reasons you don’t meet the requirements."

Gou Ping’an said, then changed the tone of his voice, "Of course, the Academy will hold an official enrollment conference. At that time, you can still participate and have the opportunity to enter the Academy."

"Now, go back."

"Part on good terms, separate on good terms."

"Those who passed the assessment, follow me. I will take you to meet the Head Instructor, who will preside over your identity award ceremony."
