Chapter 175: Disciple of Sun Dragon Academy (2)

Lin Xiao looked at the stairs as he sighed. To think that the elimination rate was actually that high. He never thought that he would be seeing so many geniuses eliminated so quickly just like that.
"Since you all have passed the examination, now you're all disciple of Sun Dragon Academy. First let me welcome you and congratulate you for all passing the examination and formally become the disciple of Sun Dragon Academy. There are a total of 156 people in this place and you all have become formal disciple.
Don't be that complacent of yourself too fast. You only have the maximum time of 15 years to stay in Sun Dragon Academy and if you can't reach Golden Core Stage Rank 2 by the age of 30, you'll be kicked out regardless whether you have been in this academy for 10 years or not.
There's examination ground that you have to attempt each year unless you go on a mission. If you go on a mission, you can reattempt the test when you return back from the mission.
There are 15 level of the test and passing each level meant that you can stay in the academy for another year. You can attempt two stages at one time if you're confident enough, but whether you pass or not is another question. The test place is open every time and you can attempt it at any time. But of course, you have to pass all 15 stages before the age of 30."
15 years.
Golden Core Stage Rank 2.
While it didn't sound that hard, it was common knowledge that people would stay at Foundation Establishment for years in order to strengthen their foundation. After all, without suitable foundation, they wouldn't be able to form their core no matter what happened.
The stronger they were, the better the core they would form.
It was common knowledge.
Right after they were accepted as Sun Dragon Academy, they had to face the reality that they would have to work extremely hard to be able to make their breakthrough and entered Golden Core Stage Rank 2 before they reached 30 years old.
The pressure was big.
The elder swept his gaze to the disciples in front of him and smiled. "Of course, you also have benefit. Your training location is filled with dense Qi, allowing you train according to your wishes. In accordance, passing each level will grant you some time to browse through the book pavilion.
Passing level one to five will allow you one hour in book pavilion first level.
Passing level six to ten will allow you five hours in book pavilion second level.
Passing level 11 to 15 will allow you stay for a day's time in book pavilion third floor.
This book pavilion contained a lot of techniques that are passed down from generations to generations. Many of them are absolute technique that many people couldn't even hope to learn. How much you can learn and read depend on your comprehension during the short period of time when you're allowed to stay in book pavilion."
Technique!
When talking about powerful technique, everyone grew excited. It was common knowledge that the reason why Sun Dragon Academy disciples were powerful was not only because of the resources but also the powerful technique they had.
To think that they would be able to browse the technique with just passing the stage. How nice!
"Remember that this is only a one time reward. Once you have obtained the reward, you can't get it again. In addition, there are pills that will be given to you every single time you past the stage. The pills will be able to strengthen your body, your soul, or even nourish your foundation. The details will be given to you through a manual book.
Also, since you're all the disciple of Sun Dragon Academy, you'll have to live in Sun Dragon Academy. The academy is located in the capital city and each of you will be given residence. If you wish to change your residence to the better one, you'll need to perform well in the student ranking that will be held three months later.
There are many other benefits that you can enjoy, but I advise you to familiarize yourself with the academy ground first. There are also teachers who will teach you all starting next week. Which class you want to attend will depend on what you want to learn. We didn't put any restriction to you."
Freedom?
Lin Xiao was more baffled. To think that they were allowed to pick their own classes in accordance to what they wanted… he began to think that the academy didn't care too much about how much they grow.
'It's not they didn't care, but true geniuses will have to find their own path. Which path is the most suitable for you will depend on the path that you pick. Even though the teachers could see your capabilities, he wouldn't know what kind of path you take unless you state it clearly.'
'I see, so we need to find our own path and then seek the teachers that's most suitable for us?'
'Exactly.'
Looking at Lin Yun and Wenren Yu, who were also baffled, Lin Xiao repeated what Lin Hu told him. When they heard that it was because they needed to pick their own path, they began to ponder deeply.
The two of them loved herbs and medicine but for the specific path they wanted to learn in their martial arts, that could be different. After all, they could ether pick fighting method that implement the poison during fight or even medicine during fight or none at all. It can be either their side occupation or also their main occupation.
Lin Xiao glanced at Sui Wenyan who seemed to be pondering deeply. It seemed that she had understood what the teacher wanted with just few clues unlike Lin Xiao who needed Lin Hu's reminder.
'What kind of path do I want to take?'
Lin Xiao also began to ponder deeply. He had to consider this carefully because he would stay more than a decade in Sun Dragon Academy.
