I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1644 - 86: White, Green, Vermillion, Yellow, Purple 2

Is it really possible for Unparalleled Academy, which even the sects had not thought of, to claim they have found a way?

If this is true, then no matter what the academy had done before, it won’t be suppressed anymore!

"Keep the received messages confidential for now!"

Liu Tang, who was in Chaochang, quickly reacted, "Send some disciples with varying lengths of experience from the clan to rush to Unparalleled City overnight. They must attend the enrollment conference at noon tomorrow. The Liu Clan must be the first to know whether the Five-turn Dragon Gate can actually verify Spiritual Essence, whether it is true or false!"

...

Red Cloud Mountain, Unparalleled City

After nearly a month, Unparalleled Academy opened its enrollment again. Combined with the sensational news that spread, it startled the entire journey.

People crowded together, packing the wide main road tightly, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The last time such a crowd gathered at Red Cloud Mountain was for the distribution of grain during a flood; since then, there hadn’t been such a large gathering here.

"There are too many people!"

Miaowei, standing on the front platform with Tang Luo, was somewhat worried. He came to inspect the data of the Dragon Gate, but he didn’t want this spectacular creation to be damaged as soon as it debuted: "Constant dripping wears away the stone; with so many passing at once, won’t the Dragon Gate be damaged?"

"Although there are many people, not all will be verified in one day. Moreover, even if it does break, isn’t that why you are here, Master?"

After teasing Miaowei, Tang Luo said to Du Ting: "You can start the announcement now!"

Nodding, Elder Du stepped forward and using his Spiritual Power to amplify his voice, he announced to the dense crowd below, "Today, Unparalleled Academy’s business department is enrolling again. The three business aspects remain the same, but with an addition. Those who wish to undertake Soul Casting must first pass the verification of the Five-turn Dragon Gate. Only practitioners whose Dragon Pillar transforms into purple can register for the Soul Casting course."

"Elder Du, hold on, I have a question!"

A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, interrupting Du Ting’s description.

"Is this Dragon Gate just a trick you came up with? Throughout history, no matter the Sacred Land Sects, there has never been a device that can verify Spiritual Essence. Everyone, isn’t that right?"

The speaker voiced the doubts of many, stirring up the crowd and suddenly making the scene chaotic.

Du Ting’s face turned livid, his gaze sharp as a knife swept over the crowd below, but he couldn’t find that malicious speaker no matter how hard he looked.

"There has never been one before, but after today, there will be!"

The calm yet firm voice seemed to possess a magical power to soothe restless emotions, immediately restoring calm to the tumultuous crowd. The Wind Media, particularly sensitive to the voice, felt a sense of new harmony and no longer harbored intentions of dispute.

Unnoticed, Miaowei had moved next to Du Ting and addressed the crowd lightly: "Xuanji Sect’s Dayuan Peak’s Miaowei greets everyone. This Five-turn Dragon Gate was commissioned by the dean and is indeed capable of changing color based on Spiritual Essence. Ignorance is excusable, but if anyone still doubts the authenticity of the Dragon Gate, that would be a challenge to Xuanji Sect, consider this a forewarning."

While speaking, Miaowei’s gaze swept over an ordinary-looking, skinny man in the crowd; it was this man who had incited earlier.

Initially, this was just an enrollment event for Unparalleled Academy, and he didn’t intend to intervene, but with the Dragon Gate’s authenticity being challenged, he had to speak out in warning.

Miaowei thought he was just doing what he should, unaware of the ripples his words would cause among the crowd.

People tend to trust authority more, and authority remains authority not just because of formidable strength, but also due to sufficient time accumulated.

Although Unparalleled City is the territory of the Void Grandmaster, in the eyes of the world, it is merely the grounds of a young grandmaster.

Perhaps Tang Luo’s cultivation is astonishing, but in terms of influence, it still doesn’t resonate as deeply as those of established masters.

In_fact,track_changes=none, many, hearing the legend of someone achieving grandmaster status before thirty, would conclusively say his foundation is unsteady.

However, Xuanji Sect is different; it truly is a Superior Heavenly Sect, and more importantly, over the years, Xuanji Sect has established strong ties with families worldwide.

The reason the distinguished clans could widen the gap with ordinary families is because they entrusted their resources to Xuanji Sect and converted them into combat power.

In the prosperous era of martial arts lasting for a thousand years, families had grown accustomed to purchasing from Xuanji Sect and genuinely believed it to be a place of miracles.

Currently, a Daoist Priest from Xuanji Sect came forward to speak on behalf of the Five-turn Dragon Gate. Could those two stone pillars that verify spiritual essence possibly be false?

The crowd watched intently at the two jade pillars placed on the platform. Although from every angle they didn’t seem to resemble a gate, it did not hinder their complete change in attitude.

Thanks to Miaowei’s timely intervention, Du Ting’s appearance relaxed significantly. He continued, "Let me tell you about the marvels of the Dragon Gate. Shortly, Miaowei will activate the Dragon Gate. Martial artists who wish to enroll in the Soul Casting class must pass through the Ripple Illusion Mirror in sequence. Depending on the level of spiritual essence within their body, the Dragon Pillar will display the colors white, blue, vermilion, yellow, or purple."

"White represents shallow accumulation. If someone forces Soul Casting, death is certain without any escape."

"Blue represents average accumulation. If one undergoes Soul Casting, survival is one in ten."

"Vermilion represents more than half the required accumulation, but still far from meeting the Soul Casting requirements. If one forcibly attempts Soul Casting, at lightest spiritual injury and soul failure occur, and at worst, death and obliteration of one’s path."

"Yellow indicates that the accumulation of spiritual essence is nearly sufficient. With a maximum of three to five more years of cultivation, one will surely complete the required accumulation. However, greed and rashness will only damage the foundation and lead to spiritual injury and soul failure, a loss not worth the gains."

"If the Dragon Pillar shows purple, no matter what shade, it indicates that the accumulation of spiritual essence has met the conditions for Soul Casting, making it absolutely safe to perform Soul Casting at this time!"

"Above are the meanings represented by the colors of the Five-turn Dragon Gate. If there is nothing else, this elder hereby announces that the second enrollment session of Unparalleled Academy’s Management Department is now open!"

As Du Ting finished speaking, the already eager crowd surged towards the platform, but before they could step on the stairs, crystalline walls erected on either side blocked their advance.

"Go up one by one, in order!"

Du Ting said coldly, "Anyone causing disturbance will be expelled from the city by the guards! If someone pushes from behind, they will be expelled along with them!"

The crystalline walls barred the way, and cold words sobered up the excited students at the front.

The first few individuals looked left and right before a middle-aged man tentatively stepped onto the crystal stair, and after confirming that the crystal walls didn’t rise again, he took two steps in one and ascended to the platform.

At this moment, Miaowei had already activated the Armed Dragon Gate, and between the two jade pillars, a water mirror rippling with waves emerged.

The first disciple to ascend the platform had never seen such a marvelous object, almost staring in amazement.

"Are you here to enroll for the Soul Casting course?"

"Yes."

"Then hurry through and don’t delay the time of those behind you!"

Pointing at the Wave Overcoming Illusion Mirror, Du Ting sternly spoke to the dazed martial artist.

The reacted student blushed with an old face, lowered his head, and crossed directly through the rippling surface of the mirror.

As he passed through the surface of the mirror, the ripples spread out, gently colliding with the jade pillars on both sides, bursting forth into brilliant golden light.

"Gold color, it’s gold color!"

People below exclaimed.

"Not bad, go back and cultivate for a few more years, and then come back to enroll."

Without even asking his name, Du Ting said to the slightly disheartened martial artist, "Next!"

With the first academy student setting an example, the following individuals passed through quickly, though the pass rate...

Just like those who initially signed up, practitioners of three to five years who believed they had accumulated enough spiritual essence attempted the Dragon Gate, mostly receiving blue.

Even those with accumulations spanning over a decade only showed vermilion or light yellow, meaning they were mistaken about their own benchmarks.

Unexpectedly, there were even pure white colored practitioners. Watching them pass through the Wave Overcoming Illusion Mirror and the Dragon Pillar not changing color at all, Du Ting’s expression darkened like the bottom of a pot, and even Miaowei’s expression turned unpleasant.
