Luo Tian was actually quite troubled as well. Although he was confident in his own talent,
having a Beast Tamer who couldn’t even summon a Summoning Beast made it utterly impossible to speak with any confidence.
If he couldn’t find a good mentor, Luo Tian reckoned he might never rise to prominence.
The pressure from the two rival families wasn’t as light and breezy as he made it seem.
"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely find a suitable mentor," Mu Can could only offer him a bit of comfort.
Mu Can didn’t really mind Luo Tian who was sometimes chatty.
Instead, he felt that Luo Tian’s personality was somewhat similar to Wang Cai’s, except Luo Tian had a bit more of a youthful heroic air about him.
"Hopefully. Otherwise, I’ll have to stay in Sin City forever. How would I live with that?" Luo Tian lamented with a downcast face.
Every month, there were students from various places who rushed to Divine Wind Academy to take part in the entrance test.
And among these students, there were no shortage of offspring from powerful families.
After all, Divine Wind Academy didn’t impose any restrictions on student identity and also didn’t force students to take on certain tasks.
Even more crucially, Divine Wind Academy focused solely on cultivation, never getting involved in the power struggles among the major forces.
Mu Can believed this was fundamentally why Divine Wind Academy stood unshakably in the Supreme Interface.
No one would resent such a place that harbored no ambition and focused solely on nurturing talent.
Thus, many offspring from major families were also sent to Divine Wind Academy to study; however, to these individuals, the academy treated them with the same impartiality as ordinary students.
Those teachers couldn’t care less about your background; what they cared about was your potential and your cultivation.
Cultivating a genius student was also the pursuit of every teacher within Divine Wind Academy.
Students were divided into four tiers based on their talent and cultivation differences: the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow rankings.
They compared with one another, with each ranking updated monthly, and Academic Points distributed according to the rankings.
On the day of enrollment, Mu Can and Luo Tian once again witnessed the allure of the Divine Wind Academy.
More than a thousand students, like them, were preparing for the entrance test.
It’s worth noting that the entrance exams were held every month.
Calculating that way, with over a thousand students coming for each test, the numbers were truly terrifying.
"Why are there so many people?" A thousand people were gathered on a vast platform.
Here, they would face their first challenge before joining Divine Wind Academy.
Testing their talent.
Ten enormous transparent Crystal Stones were placed at the front of the square.
The crowd of over a thousand was split into ten groups to take turns testing their talents.
"That’s the talent stone; just by touching the talent stone, one can test a person’s cultivation talent. However, I’ve never seen a situation where ten talent stones are used at once."
Luo Tian looked at the ten huge transparent Crystal Stones, his face full of anticipation.
When a Cultivator touched a talent stone, the Crystal Stone would emit different colors of brilliance.
From Fifth Rank’s green hue to the First Rank’s golden light, and even Special Grade talent’s purple-golden color.
When the test began, each group lined up to move forward, placing their hands on the talent stone under the supervision of the teachers.
In that moment, various colors soared up, casting a colorful glow over the entire sky.
Among them, a red light was exceptionally dazzling.
"With the first ten people one Second Class talent has appeared, not bad at all," Luo Tian watched the emergence of the red light, unable to conceal the envy in his eyes.
First Rank’s golden talents appeared every few years, which was already quite good, as for the Special Grade purple-golden talents, they hadn’t appeared for many years.
The appearance of the red light caused an obvious stir in the crowd, clearly, this Second Class talent was already a surprising event for them.
From a distance, Mu Can saw that the one with the Second Class cultivation talent was a teenage girl, who was taken aside, probably set for special arrangements later on.
The ensuing tests became quite ordinary, with most being Fourth Class’ blue light, Third Class’ yellow light, and also a few Fifth Rank’s green light.
Those who tested out as Fifth Rank talents stood dejectedly to one side, but they weren’t dismissed. As Luo Tian said, this gave them another opportunity.
In this way, a thousand people orderly tested their talents one after another, without descending into chaos.
Luo Tian was lined up before Mu Can; Mu Can gave him a firm look, and Luo Tian then approached the talent stone.
After lightly closing his eyes, he placed his hand on the Crystal Stone.
A yellow light faintly lit up, slowly changing colors, moving towards red.
But before it fully turned red, the change ceased.
"Third Class superior talent, this kid isn’t bad either," several teachers in the distance were watching the situation here closely.
At this moment, the talent stone next to Luo Tian suddenly lit up.
Blinding golden light radiated, painting the entire sky gold.
Those teachers who had been watching the talent stones, leaped up at once.
"Quick, go inform the principal, a First Rank talent has appeared," an old man shouted excitedly.
A First Rank talent, it had been nearly ten years since Divine Wind Academy last saw a student with First Rank talent.
Such joyous news, naturally, required the principal himself to come.
"Golden talent, no matter what, I must take this pupil under my wing," an old man in his sixties watched the white-clothed youth without even blinking.
"Hehe, not bad," Luo Tian watched his talent level and slowly exhaled in relief, giving Mu Can an encouraging gesture.
"Mo Kuanglao, just because you say you want to take him as a disciple doesn’t mean you can. The principal might be interested in him for his talent, and where would that leave you?" an elder in a black academy uniform joked with a smile.
"No way, absolutely not, I must take this disciple, I don’t have much time left," Mo Kuanglao was clearly a bit agitated, his speech even trembling a bit.
The talent test was temporarily paused for the appearance of a First Rank talent student, which was a significant event; the principal had to come personally.
Otherwise, these teachers might even end up on the dueling platform fighting over the student.
"Hehe, I knew it, my talent is the strongest," the white-clothed youth Ao Li declared confidently, looking at the others who were tested alongside him with disdain.
"Is the golden talent First Rank?" Mu Can looked at Ao Li and felt some displeasure.
Just as Luo Tian was about to celebrate, a First Rank talent appeared next to him, completely overshadowing him.
Not long after, a white-clothed young man appeared on the scene, and a crowd of teachers promptly surrounded him.
The young man waved his hand, signaling them to let him assess the situation first, and the teachers closely followed behind him.
"This is the principal of Divine Wind Academy? How can he be so young?" Mu Can was slightly surprised; he had assumed that an old man would be coming.
