Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 68: Star Stone

"Go in together? You mean go in together? Did he also pass?" Chu Lin immediately reacted, pointing at Niu Tian.

"That’s right, kid, you’re quick to react. How could our Celestial Dragon Academy eliminate someone with such talent? I’m here to tell you all he passed."

The five of Chu Linfeng stood there as if struck by lightning, completely stunned.

Suddenly, Niu Tian exclaimed, "Did you hear? I passed! I can enter Celestial Dragon Academy!

Is this real? This feeling of happiness is so sudden, it’s exhilarating! Haha, we can be together again!"

The clouds of worry instantly vanished from his face, replaced by an expression of immense joy.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Old Niu, you’re really lucky. I didn’t expect you to become one of the chosen ones, this is a rare opportunity." Tang Li laughed at Niu Tian, who was dancing with joy.

"Old Niu? Since when did I become known by this name?" Niu Tian asked, puzzled.

"Since the day you were born. Come on, or else we’ll be dragged out to plow the fields!" Chu Linfeng laughed as well.

Originally, Chu Linfeng wanted to check on Xue Jin Mountain’s test, but at this moment he couldn’t leave, but given his strength, he’s certain to pass, so he wasn’t too worried.

After the five entered the Celestial Dragon Academy, someone immediately came to lead the way, "Please follow me to register. Be sure to enter your true identity details, remember this carefully."

Before long, the five of Chu Linfeng arrived in a spacious hall, where there were already quite a few people; they were all students who had passed the test, and they were quietly discussing various topics, making the atmosphere lively.

Just then, an elder with white hair entered the hall from outside. After looking at the new students gathered there, he said:

"All of you, put aside your pride. In Celestial Dragon Academy, you are ordinary students. If you do well, you might enter the advanced class.

But let me tell you clearly, your chances of entering the advanced class are slim."

The elder surveyed the people in the hall and sat at a chair at the front of the hall.

"There might be some of you who are unconvinced, thinking you have potential and will certainly enter the advanced class. If so, you are mistaken."

"Since Celestial Dragon Academy was established, it’s been hundreds of years, enrolling new students every three years. Students graduate every three years too. Graduation is simple; once you reach the Sixth Level of Earth Martial Realm, you can choose to graduate." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing everyone quiet down, the elder paused and finally got to the main point: "Let me tell you, the number of students at Celestial Martial Academy has only increased, never decreased. Within three years, the number of students able to graduate is at most tens, often less."

Many began to doubt, but seeing the elder smile silently, some began to realize something.

Some closed their mouths and stopped talking or showed determined expressions, while others showed fear.

Seeing the expressions of the students below, the elder seemed quite pleased: "Many of you have figured out the reason, haven’t you? That’s right, Celestial Dragon Academy is such a harsh place, where the elimination rate is nearly ninety percent!

Among those who don’t manage to graduate smoothly, half are expelled for not working hard enough or failing to complete assigned tasks.

Those expelled face severe punishment, their cultivation is abolished, making them forever unable to practice martial skills."

"What about the other half?" someone asked bravely.

"That half... They think they can persevere, but fail to do so and end up staying at the academy forever."

"Did they die?"

Some who were slow to realize finally understood.

"Yes, within the academy, your first guarantee is survival. Staying alive should be your primary goal, only then will you have the chance to compete for a spot in the advanced class."

"Every year, about fifty students from the lower class are promoted to the regular class, while none from the regular class enter the advanced class. At most, no more than three in a year! With these odds, do you still think your chances are high?"

"Do those with ordinary aptitude have no hope?" A student with a confused look asked, finding this harsh reality terrifying, regretting having come here, fearing being a waste if expelled, yet unsure when they could graduate if they stayed.

"Don’t lose heart, though the academy’s requirements are stringent, the conditions are excellent. Lower class students receive one Low Grade Star Stone per month for cultivation.

Regular class students receive three Low Grade Star Stones, and advanced class students have the best treatment, with five Low Grade Star Stones and one Middle Grade Star Stone.

You all know how precious Star Stones are, don’t you? They’re incomparable to Spirit Stones. One Low Grade Star Stone is worth an Upper Grade Spirit Stone!

Have confidence in yourself, perhaps you’ll be the next to enter the advanced class! Advanced class students can practice Profound Tier Martial Skills, and some can even train in Earth Tier Martial Skills!"

The crowd became almost frantic, as Star Stones are what countless Martial Artists dream of acquiring, and the thought of Martial Skills at the Profound Tier and Earth Tier was awe-inspiring.

Chu Linfeng knew little about Star Stones, having never heard of them in Liuyun City, nor even Spirit Stones until recently. Listening to the elder, Chu Linfeng felt he was truly ignorant.

Looking at Lin Ruoxi, he realized she was also full of confusion, indicating she too hadn’t heard of Star Stones.

Sword Spirit Yue’er was acutely aware of Chu Linfeng’s thoughts, "Star Stones are stones containing Star Power, hence called Star Stones.

The Star Power contained in one Low Grade Star Stone equates to absorbing three to five days’ worth of Star Power, with higher grades holding more Star Power.

Though with increased strength, Spirit Stones can convert to Star Power, it is quite slow. One Upper Grade Spirit Stone’s Star Power conversion equals absorbing one day’s worth of Star Power; the difference is clear."

Upon hearing Sword Spirit’s words, Chu Linfeng was elated. With three Low Grade Star Stones a month in the regular class, advancing to the advanced class shouldn’t be too difficult.

Thereafter, upon breaking through the Sixth Level of Black Tortoise Realm, he could directly form the Earth Star Pill, further enhancing his strength.

Then everyone filled out their identity information, a few people entered the hall from outside; Chu Linfeng noticed they all had golden little swords on their chest, understanding their strength.

Only surprising was one of them was a woman, looking no older than twenty-five.

"Hello, esteemed students! Welcome to Celestial Dragon Academy’s big family. Here, our academy will cultivate you wholeheartedly, so we hope you strive hard!" said one of the people wearing gold little swords.
