Shi Hao nodded, glanced at Han Yi, and then walked to the side of the Great Hall. He found a chair and sat down. Then, he took out a piece of paper, gently pushed it forward, and the paper floated to land in front of Han Yi.

“I am Shi Hao, a scholar of Guanxuan Academy.”

“These two are the academy’s platinum instructors, Mo Wuwen and Wei Qiong.”

“This assessment is scored by the three of us. The scoring items are listed on the chart. You can begin the examination by introducing yourself. We will determine the examination items based on your strengths, validate it on-site; if you meet the standard, you will pass immediately.”

Han Yi nodded, glanced at the examination chart, and was somewhat surprised. The chart was very detailed, the specifics of the exam were very thorough, and many skill entries were quantified.

For example, cultivation base accounted for ten points. Early-stage Golden Core contestants would earn six points, Middle Golden Core Stage contestants would earn eight points, and late-stage Golden Core contestants would earn ten points.

As for skills, say the Talisman Making Skill, how many points a contestant could earn based on which operational items they satisfied; accumulated together, what the maximum number of points they could earn was.

Naturally.

These skills needed to be selected; if you were good at making talismans, you could choose the Talisman Making Skill, which would then be assessed; if you were not good at it, it would not be strictly assessed.

Looking at the examination chart, the academy’s assessment for the instructors was additive.

Han Yi felt surprised at this examination method for instructors, but, such a rigorous and detailed examination was matching the status of the academy.

Han Yi pulled himself together, and began to introduce himself.

“My name is Wang Lin, I am a loose cultivator…” In the introduction, Han Yi showed himself as a loose cultivator. Despite mastering a disguise technique that approached the Return to the Truth level, Han Yi did not dare to bet that this skill would escape the scrutiny of a True Monarch’s great cultivator. To avoid unexpected situations, he chose to appear in his original form, but he still kept the name ‘Wang Lin’.”

In the introduction, Han Yi stated that he was skilled in the Sword Control Skill, proficient in Divine Soul Secret Skill, he also touched upon alchemy, and moreover, he was a physical cultivator. This made Mo Wuwen, the erudite cultivator with a fan, and the female cultivator Wei Qiong, both perk up. As for Shi Hao, his expression did not change.

“Not bad.”

“You say you’re good at Sword Control Skill, then give it a try.”

Wei Qiong waved her hand gently, and a longsword soared from behind her. It was a silver longsword, the aura on this silver long sword was much stronger than the illusionary fire cauldron previously taken out by Zhang Hai.

A top-grade magic item.

Han Yi’s face was solemn. He did not let out his Green Reed Sword, which was a lower-grade magic item. Although it appeared indestructible for now, Han Yi did not want to bet as this sword tool held many secrets. He wanted to keep it to explore slowly.

Suddenly, a long sword exuding extreme cold appeared before him.

The Heavenly Cold Sword.

The Heavenly Cold Sword swooped out with a swish. At the fastest speed, it lightly collided with the opponent’s silver long sword. The silver long sword remained motionless, the Heavenly Cold Sword retreated three meters after a tremble. Then, the Heavenly Cold Sword rapidly changed position again, constantly colliding with the silver long sword, creating a sky full of sword shadows, along with the extreme cold, it fully manifested.

After a quarter of an hour, Wei Qiong nodded, gently waved her hand, and the silver long sword had already fallen in front of her, being taken into her back.

“Not bad, meticulous control, good speed, acceptable power, and sustainable.”

“You can have eight points.”

Wei Qiong gave a fair evaluation. Earning eight points proved from the examination chart that at least in the aspect of Sword Control Skill, Han Yi had achieved results approaching late-stage Golden Core.

In the following examination, Han Yi tried his best to display his abilities, aside from withholding his Divine Soul, he went all out.

Among them.

Surprisingly, his alchemy skill was still at the Fire is Purely Green level; he had not yet reached the Peak Mastery level. But after an examination, he received unanimous approval from the three examiners, earning him nine points.

The examination took a full two hours during which, surprisingly, Shi Hao, who was also a physical cultivator, personally took the field and tested with Han Yi. He showed great interest in Han Yi’s physical cultivation technique. After Han Yi said the name of the cultivation method, Shi Hao shook his head.

There were myriad physical cultivation methods with ‘Ancient God’ as a title in the Yu Heng World; thousands if not tens of thousands. Ancient God Heavenly Art, Ancient God Ascension Method, Ancient God Physical Refining Technique and so on, too numerous to count. The Ancient God Visualization Method that Han Yi mentioned sounded plain and unimpressive, so he could only give up.

At the end of the examination.

The three of them calculated the score in front of Han Yi and finally came up with a total of seventy-one points.

After all, Han Yi’s cultivation base was only at the early-stage Golden Core, which was not outstanding, earning only six points. The total score of seventy- one points was largely thanks to his Alchemy Skill, which was able to add an additional nine points.

It’s clearly stated on the examination chart that a score of sixty or above was sufficient to join the Guanxuan Academy. Seeing this, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

“Congratulations Daoist Han on joining the academy and becoming part of the academy.”

“However, the academy’s instructors all have corresponding specializations. For example, Shi is an Artifact Refiner, Instructor Wei is a Sword Cultivator, and I am a Talisman Maker. Currently, the academy is seriously in shortage of Golden Core alchemists, therefore, we unanimously think that Daoist Han is suitable to join the academy as an alchemist. Do you have any complaints?”

Hearing this, Han Yi nodded. His Alchemy Skill had indeed stagnated for a long time. Joining Guanxuan Academy to improve his Alchemy Skill didn’t seem so bad.

“Thank you, Instructor Mo.” Han Yi followed local customs, changed his term of address, and saluted.

Shi Hao put away the examination chart and uttered a few reminders before hurrying away. Wei Qiong, the Sword Cultivator, also left claiming she had urgent matters after the examination, leaving only Mo Wuwen to bring Han Yi to a certain place in the inner court to process the admission formalities.

Two hours later.

Han Yi, having changed into instructor’s robes, sat cross-legged in a quiet room of a courtyard in the inner court allotted for the instructors to live in, and took a deep, relaxed breath.

During these two hours, Han Yi also learned why Guanxuan Academy didn’t worry about loyalty issues when they recruited loose cultivators.

Because in this academy, apart from the scholars, the system for instructors was extremely unique; it implemented a dual guidance and points system.

The so-called dual guidance system was that there were two types of instructors.

One was nurtured by the academy, those who were promoted from students, and are called Inner Instructors.

The other type was recruited from the outside. It’s not just loose cultivators, even Golden Core cultivators from other sects and forces could apply for the examination. Once they passed the examination, they could become instructors of the academy. These instructors were also called External Instructors.

Simply put, if compared to the previous policy of the Xuandan Sect, Inner Instructors were like the loyal Supreme Elders, while External Instructors were like guest cultivators, or supplemented outside cultivators.

As for the points system, it was easier to understand. Whether they were Inner Instructors or External Instructors, they could earn points for teaching students. Living in the inner court and enjoying the benefits of Spirit Veins and stability would deduct points. Submitting refined pills, or Spiritual Talismans, would earn points, while purchasing magic items or earning certain advanced study opportunities would deduct points.

This open attitude surprised Han Yi.

Moreover.

Becoming an External Instructor did not limit one’s freedom, which of course Han Yi was pleased about.
