Wang Baole was standing on the cruiser, swishing through the skies, riding in the wind as he dashed directly to Upper Academy Island. He was extrely delighted—not only did Zhou Xiaoya gain admission to Upper Academy Island, she was also formally the disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion Elder. The entire matter could be considered to have concluded well.
Clearing his throat, Wang Baole thought, In this whole incident, I played a significant role. Thanks to my courage and fearlessness toward the evil forces that allowed to create chaos by using the opportunity to hit Gao Quan, victory was attained in the process. This allowed Bunny to have an unobstructed path to success.
This irritating fatty would never admit that even if he did not appear this ti round, the outco would like have been the sa for Bunny. Now, he was in high spirits as he took up a bag of snacks while on the cruiser, munching on them loudly while controlling the cruiser.
The ability to fly the cruiser and eat snacks at the sa ti... This capability is not sothing that everyone has! Wang Baole laughed heartily. Soon, the cruiser has passed through the clouds and arrived at Upper Academy Island.
Du Min is in the Alchemy Pavilion as well. Even though I haven’t seen her much since coming to Upper Academy Island, it’s not surprising if she is doing well, since she has always excelled academically. There’s also Chen Ziheng, who is in the Combat Pavilion with Zhuo Yifan... I have to work hard and not let them surpass .
Thinking of this, Wang Baole inhaled deeply. He did not return to the cave abode. Instead, his gaze was on the middle peak, looking in the northern direction toward the mountains that housed the Dharmic Armant Pavilion.
Wang Baole had already read up on the details of the Armant Disciple assessnt on the Spirit Intranet and understood that the assessnt of Dharmic Armant Pavilion disciples took place on the Northern Mountain Range, where a Military Administrative Departnt oversaw the advancent assessnt of disciples to Armant Disciples. However, if a disciple successfully refined a hundred perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts, they could also send the Dharmic Artifacts for assessnt in order to receive their Armant Disciple status.
I will advance to beco an Armant Disciple, then choose a departnt to perform my duties! Wang Baole’s eyes was fueled with passion as he controlled the cruiser straight toward the Northern Mountain Range. On his way, as he passed the middle peak, he noticed that on the parade square lay a huge military drum standing tall. It was dull red in color and was eye-catching because of its rustic look.
That is probably the drum that people on the Spirit Intranet have ntioned, huh?
Wang Baole was tempted as his eyes fell montarily on the huge military drum. He had read entries introducing the drum on the Spirit Intranet. It was said that it was a military drum that could only be struck by an Armant Soldier, and it had only one purpose—invite an Elder!
Whatever difficult problems arose regarding Dharmic Armants, so long as the Armant Soldier was capable, they could strike the military drum, using its sound to invite an Elder for advice on the solution.
However, even though the drum has been installed for many years, it had not been struck often. If there were no real challenging problems that were difficult to solve, no one would dare haphazardly strike it to disturb the Elders. On the other hand, there was no drumstick for the drum. Anyone who wished to strike it had to make use of the materials given by the military drum and refine a drumstick, which could only be used once, right there and then in front of the drum.
Only when an Armant Soldier held a drumstick that they had personally refined could they strike the military drum to invite an Elder.
Even though the thod of refining the drumstick was stated right beside the military drum, it was an extrely difficult feat. To a certain extent, it was not considered a Numinous Treasure. Furthermore, every Armant Soldier only had one chance in their entire lifeti. If they failed, they lost their eligibility, and thus, no one dared to squander the opportunity willy-nilly.
Wang Baole had read on the Spirit Intranet that the student who had managed to strike the drum the greatest number of tis had done it five tis using the drumstick that he had refined. That far exceeded that of other people, and as a result, the Elder that he had invited to grant assistance on his problem was no ordinary Elder but the Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armant Pavilion!
Every Grand Elder possesses incredibly high status within their respective pavilions. Only the Deputy Sect Lord and Sect Lord are ranked above the Grand Elder, with the Grand Supre Elder being at the top of the hierarchy!
Even though Wang Baole had spent most of his ti in seclusion after entering Upper Academy Island, his understanding of the structure of Ethereal Dao College had grown significantly from the tis when he was on the Lower Academy Island.
He already understood that the one with the highest authority in Ethereal Dao College was the mysterious Grand Supre Elder. He was never seen in Ethereal Dao College, but his existence was akin to an anchor, the assurance of everyone in Ethereal Dao College and the status of the Federation!
The Grand Supre Elder’s subordinates included Ethereal Dao College’s sect lord and the three deputy sect lords. Below them were ten pavilions and a college. The ten pavilions were referring to the island pavilions on Upper Academy Island, which included the Dharmic Armant Pavilion, and the college was referring to the Lower Academy Island!
Within every pavilion, the Pavilion Head was obviously the person-in-command. However, in reality, there were still nurous elders above the Pavilion Head as well as the one and only Grand Elder of each pavilion.
These people were not involved in the managent of the pavilion. However, they ford the Group of Elders, which had the authority to determine the employnt of the Deputy Pavilion Head and the Pavilion Head.
This systematic hierarchy was precisely the structure of power of the internal affairs of Ethereal Dao College. When Wang Baole gained a good understanding of all this, he realized that he needed ti to assu the great responsibility, and at the sa ti, his desire to beco an Armant Soldier grew even stronger.
As he shifted his gaze away from the drum, Wang Baole suppressed his thoughts as he controlled the cruiser directly toward the Northern Mountain Range. Soon, he arrived within the clouds above the Military Administrative Departnt. He began his descent to enter the compound.
There were only a few disciples within the Military Administrative Departnt. Those who were capable of becoming Armant Disciples were only of a small proportion of the large number of ordinary disciples. Therefore, after completing the administrative process, Wang Baole arrived at the specially demarcated assessnt ground, a parade square where tens of gigantic stone stele stood. Apart from himself, there was a tall and thin youth who was sitting on a stone stele in preparation with his eyes closed and legs crossed. He looked serious and mysterious.
Sensing that soone had arrived, the youth raised his head and opened his eyes but remained silent as he took a look at Wang Baole. However, seeing that Wang Baole was about to begin his assessnt without any preparation, he raised his eyebrows and laughed.
“A new disciple?”
Wang Baole heard his words and turned to look at him.
“The Armant Disciple assessnt is the most important milestone for a disciple. Junior Brother, it’s fine that you did not even bother to clean yourself up, but your lack of preparation shows your disrespect toward the Armant Disciple advancent assessnt. I advise you to attempt the assessnt again after preparing yourself. Otherwise, you will definitely fail!” The youth spoke calmly, as if from experience.
“Is it really so difficult?” Wang Baole had originally been very laid-back. However, after hearing the youth’s words, with his gut feeling telling him that the youth was not lying to him, he inevitably grew concerned.
“Every year, there are only slightly more than ten people who successfully advance to beco Armant Disciples in the Dharmic Armant Pavilion. In addition, many of the disciples have spent at least two years doing so after entering Upper Academy Island. So, don’t you think it’s hard?
“Refining a hundred perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts becos simple in comparison, for it can be achieved with ti. However, in the assessnt mystic realm, ten random Dharmic Artifacts will be chosen. One has to present the refinent process again within the stipulated ti without making any mistakes. Should one mistake be made, one fails! Isn’t that difficult?
“Of those who gained admission to Upper Academy Island, who doesn’t have talent? People like you, who think that it’s easy to pass the assessnt, are plentiful. I have tried nine tis and seen many, but I have not seen one that succeeded.” The youth did not know who Wang Baole was and was speaking in a conceited tone.
Wang Baole looked at the youth with a weird expression. He was thinking about how it made sense that the youth sounded so full of experience, for he had done the assessnt so many tis. Therefore, with both trust and suspicion, he beca uneasy, as he mimicked the youth and began preparing by sitting down cross-legged.
Realizing that Wang Baole was an individual who would listen to advice, the youth laughed as he felt heartened. It was as if he saw a past shadow of his failure in Wang Baole. After a mont, when he had completed his preparation, he raised his right hand and retrieved a Dharmic Artifact, sending it into the stone stele.
Wang Baole noticed and imdiately retrieved a Dharmic Artifact, sending it into the stone stele just like the youth.
“Cloud Frost Sword?” After noticing the Dharmic Artifact that Wang Baole retrieved, the youth was montarily shocked as he threw several more glances at Wang Baole before retrieving yet another Dharmic Artifact and sending it into the stone stele. Wang Baole followed suit and retrieved another Dharmic Artifact.
“Spirit Fog Shield?” The youth stared with his eyes wide open. The Cloud Frost Sword was one of the most challenging items to refine of the first-grade Dharmic Artifacts. He had been surprised after seeing the first artifact but did not think much of it. However, now that Wang Baole retrieved yet another Dharmic Artifact that was extrely difficult to refine, he inevitable beca bewildered. Despite that, he was indignant and sighed in his heart.
Is he trying to show off? Is he planning to compete with ? Newbie, you’re still too inexperienced. Even though I have failed so many tis, in reality, every failure can be considered a strong driving force and improvent for . Without those failures, I wouldn’t be who I am today!
The youth narrowed his eyes, and with a wave of arrogance, he flung his sleeves and retrieved the remaining ninety-eight Dharmic Artifacts. Of those, there were nine around the sa difficulty as the Spirit Fog Shield. Delightedly, he looked askance at Wang Baole, but that was when his mind instantly buzzed with activity.
Wang Baole, who was beside him, followed the youth in retrieving his remaining ninety-eight Dharmic Artifacts, all of them of the sa grade as the Spirit Fog Shield. Now, the glow from the Dharmic Artifact was extrely bright, and the glitz almost made the youth’s eyes fall out of their sockets. In his surprise, he began cursing angrily and indignantly in his heart.
Did this fella co for the assessnt or to show that he’s rich? Gosh, what’s the point of bringing so many difficult to refine Dharmic Artifacts for just an Armant Disciple assessnt?
