Astral Sage College

The Astral Sage College is at the southwest of the Xia Kingdom. It was built against the back of the Gukun Mountain Range, the longest and greatest in the Xia Kingdom.

## Appearance

A majestic mountain immediately crowded most of the horizon in one's view. Behind it, was an entire forest of mountains, stretching out far beyond what anyone could see. There was a pageantry about them, their age a declaration of their power and endurance. Just looking upon them was awe-inspiring.

There was a set of stone steps ascending the side of the mountain, climbing all the way into the clouds. At the top of the stairs was the entrance, made out of white jadestone. It twinkled with a mystical, starry light, three words carved into the banner above in an impressive hand. The artistic masterpiece was a bold declaration of the school's domination.

*Astral Sage College*

The words above the entrance were written by a King expert.

Firstly, they saw an endless buildup of school buildings—tall, towering architecture that sprawled in every direction.

There was a dignity to the campus, built up over thousands of years of history. A wealth of years that demanded respect from the visitors within its halls.

The buildings were just a small part of it. Even more impactful was the enormous tree whose canopy nearly blocked out the sky.

The Tree of Resonant Power looked like an embodiment of eternity itself. It made one feel small and insignificant.

Its branches covered most of the sky above the Astral Sage College, and gathered worldly natural energy to it. Even from a distance, Li Luo could sense the terrific speed at which it was gathering energy from all around.

No wonder it could produce a treasure like the Royal Sap.

The Tree of Resonant Power at Southwind Academy was like a tiny seedling compared to this one.

## Teachers

The Astral Sage College divided their teachers into three tiers: Silver Spark Mentor, Gold Gleam Mentor, and Violet Vibrance Mentor. The hard requirement for Silver Spark mentors was to reach the Earth Fiend level, while for Gold Gleam mentors the standard was Heavenly Dipper General. The highest ranked mentors, Violet Vibrance ones, had to be at the Duke Stage. But even in the arcane depths of the Astral Sage College, a violet-robed mentors was a rare sight.

## Star Hall

The Astral Sage College is divided into four star halls. Each year, when one pass the exams, they will be promoted to the next hall.

### 4th Star Hall Students

* Si Tianming
* Gong Shenjun

Eastpool Academy

One of the other academies in the Tianshu Province. Although they did not have as great a foundation, their rate of ascension through the ranks had been ferociously quick. Coupled with the support of the Tianshu Province's Governor's Mansion, they had managed to prove themselves a worthy contender for the position of top dog, especially with their stellar performance in recent years.

It was rumored that Eastpool Academy was hoping to unseat Southwind Academy.
Origin Reversion Institution

It's a terrifying and titanic organization possessing monstrous might. The Origin Reversion Institute is usually only found on the Central Divine Continent. Mankind is full of different factions with differing approaches to dealing with the Others. However, the Origin Reversion Institute is not the same. They wish to coexist with the Others. In their eyes, the Others are simply the manifestations of the dark side of humanity. They claim that they are still a part of humanity and have only been temporarily separated from our true selves. As a result, the human race has declined by not embracing them! After all, the human race was incomparably glorious in the past. Thus, to reclaim that prosperity, one would have to fuse with two. This is the true meaning of their chant, the reversion to one's so-called origins to bring about their true form.

* Ultimately they are a bunch of lunatics terrorists but well hidden and have planted different spies among some powerful kingdom and those spies are either affiliated to the royalty of the country or to the respective Sage College (example: the dog name Shen Jinxao).

Resonant Luminescence

When anyone visits the Tree of Resonant Power for the first time, their cultivation might resonate with the Tree of Resonant Power to fill their body with worldly natural energy.

The filling process is a little like a baptism. Those who are blessed by it will feel their resonant power improve by a leap. Each year, it happens when the newcomers visit the tree for the first time. It is not too rare, and it’s definitely a good thing if anyone receives it.

Violet jade leaves also increase the chances of Resonant Luminescence happening. Resonant Luminescence also varies in strength from person to person. It depends on the brightness and duration. The average time for the Resonant Luminescence is about ten minutes.

## Records

* In the last century, the strongest Resonant Luminescence was gifted to Jiang Qing'e. The brightness was said to have been spotted from some places in Xia City. It lasted about 20 minutes.
* Li Luo broke Jiang Qing'e's record by lasting 40 minutes, twice as long as her. It seemed like this record might never be broken.

## Trivia

* She and Jiang Qing'e were actually bosom buddies who had met in the past, when Jiang Qing'e did not possess the icy personality she was known for today.

Bitter Lotus Pills

They will accelerate the resonance consolidation, increasing the chances of success.

The Bitter Lotus Pills were distilled from the sap of trees of resonant power. Only large schools could cultivate such things. And for beginners still in the Ten Seals Stage, there was no better medicine than the Bitter Lotus Pill.

Many people failed multiple times when condensing their resonances. This cost them precious cultivation time. The Bitter Lotus Pill could steady their transition.

It basically divides the Xia Kingdom into two regions. Many spirit beasts dwell in those mountains—perhaps half of all spirit beasts in the Xia Kingdom. In the deepest regions, there are King spirit beasts, so even Duke stage cultivators do not dare to wander too deeply.

## Synopsis

In the land of the Xia Kingdom, every human being is born with what is known as a 'Resonance', either to a specific element(Elemental resonances) or a powerful, mythical beast(Beast resonances). Unfortunately, Li Luo was born with an incredibly rare condition known as a Blank Resonance - as the name suggests, he doesn't have one! Normally, this would be utterly crippling, but at least he has the advantage of being the young master of the mighty House Luolan, one of the five Great Houses of Xia. Unfortunately, his parents, the powerful masters of House Luolan, have gone missing for many years, and the other Great Houses are beginning to eye their holdings quite hungrily. For that matter, plenty are also eyeing his talented, beautiful childhood friend and fiancée Jiang Qing'e, who has been leading House Luolan in his parents' stead! Li Luo would much rather keep a low profile and wants call off the engagement - but Jiang Qing'e has flatly refused. What's a 'useless young master' to do?

Is there any way he can get out of this engagement? Can he figure out a way to protect his House from the jackals circling around it? And... is a blank resonance really useless?

## Lyrics

I keep looking at myself in the mirror

Hoping it will change

And I keep wishing for a brand new body

That I didn't have to blame

I'm seeing every flaw, like a failure

I'm using ever cure, like a savior

Like trying to build a church out of all my hurt

When it really needs grace

I gave all my time to nothing

I focused on who I was

Not who I'm becoming

My fears, they took up space

My eyes couldn't look away

I didn't even realize

I worshiped what I hate

Half a bottle of red

Just before bed

Is the only way I dream

Before I really wake up

The first thing I touch is a button on a screen

I'm not guilty of leaving, not sticking around

I'm guilty of staying and just checking out

Yeah, I kept my head down and really missed out

On what's in front of me

'Cause I gave all my time to nothing

I focused on who I was

Not who I'm becoming

My fears, they took up space

My eyes couldn't look away

I didn't even realize

I worshiped what I hate

Why do the lies feel like the truth?

Why do I do the things I do?

Why do I fight so hard to keep my heart empty?

'Cause I gave all my time to nothing

I focused on who I was

Not who I'm becoming

My fears, they took up space

My eyes couldn't look away

I didn't even realize

I worshiped what I hate

I didn't even realize (Realize)

I didn't even realize (Realize)

I didn't even realize

I worshiped what I hate

Didn't even realize

I worshiped what I hate

Didn't even realize, no (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Didn't even realize, didn't know (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Mmm, yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Gong Jingyao

## Appearance

The boy looked to be about eight years old. He had jet-black eyes and was rather cute. Still, he had a suspicious look about him at the moment, skulking around.

## Background

He is the current King of Xia Kingdom, however due to his young age the political affairs of Xia Kingdom are overseen by a regent and his elder sister, Gong Luanyu.

"His Majesty has an inborn frailty. It's hard to heal by normal means and needs the healing resonances of light, water, and wood. Moreover, it needs not just a singular element, but a Duke-level mastery of two of them."

## History

The little emperor's illness had struck him when young. Each episode was a painful and miserable experience.

However, apparently the watersource produced by Li Luo has a very good effect in alleviating his illness, at least as good as the medicine he is currently taking.

Tree of Resonant Power

To the north of Southwind Academy was a vast and dense forest. Whenever the wind blew past, a wave of lush greenery would also be uplifted by the drafts.

And within the middle of the dense forest was a massive and imposing tree. It was dark yellow in color and was over two hundred meters in height, the dense branches spread out like a net made of wood.

The tree branches were thick and sturdy and riddled with leaves. What was most interesting was that each leaf was almost two meters wide and long, as thick as a rule, almost like a mini platform of sorts.

This tree was known as the Tree of Resonant Power.

The Tree of Resonant Power was not a natural creation but one constructed from numerous rare treasures. This was truly a case of something being more than what meets the eye.

Within the Tree of Resonant Power was an energy core. This energy core was able to absorb and store copious amounts of worldly natural energy.

The large leaves of the tree were to be used as cultivation dais, each allowing for one student to cultivate on.

Owning a Tree of Resonant Power was a foundational requirement for any academy, their strength depending on the might of the academy.

The Tree of Resonant Power's leaves were also split into three grades: Gold Leaves, Silver Leaves, and Bronze Leaves.

If one were to look from afar, they would notice that 60% of the leaves were Bronze leaves, 30% were Silver Leaves, and only 10% were Gold Leaves.

The Gold Leaves were all situated at the top of the tree and were relatively smaller in number.

Obviously, being able to cultivate atop a Gold Leaf would inevitably be more advantageous compared to a lesser grade.

However, the Gold Leaves were mostly monopolized by the students of the First School. This was inevitable as the students were stronger, and the face of the academy.

Hence, when it came to the Second School, there were only 10 Gold Leaves up for grabs, with the Third School and the Fourth School having no chance to even contest for this precious resource. These Gold Leaves were truly in demand.

The Tree of Resonant Power was only open for cultivation for half a day. Whenever the clock above the tree rang out, that would mean the start of the cultivation session. This was the most anticipated part of each day for every student.

## Astral Sage College

"The Tree of Resonant Power at the Astral Sage College will surpass your imagination. Its canopy extends over much of the sky above the school. It is possibly where the worldly natural energy is densest in the entire Xia Kingdom. That is why it produces Royal Sap on a frequent basis.

"Important missions and competitions at the Astral Sage College often offer Royal Sap as a reward."

You keep thinking that

You keep thinking, thinking, thinking that

You're probably thinking I ain't handling this well

I'm drinking on a Monday in heartbreak Hell

You're probably thinking that I'm sleeping by myself

And I'm wondering what you're doing right now

I, I, I, I hate to break it to ya

I'm doin' better since you been gone

Sorry, boy, you got it all wrong

But you keep thinking that

I want you back, drowning in Jack

Still holding on, still lonely

Ain't even close to over you

You keep thinking I lay here and cry

Night after night like you're the one and only

One moving on while I got it bad

You keep thinking that

You're probably thinking that I'm pacing down the hall

I bet you think your picture's still hanging on the wall

Got the idea that I'm waiting for your call

Like I got nothing better to do

I, I, I, I hate to break it to ya

But I been seeing someone new

And he ain't anything like you

You keep thinking that

I want you back, drowning in Jack

Still holding on, still lonely

Ain't even close to over you

You keep thinking I lay here and cry

Night after night like you're the one and only

One moving on while I got it bad

You keep thinking that

Ooh, you keep thinking that

You keep thinking that

I want you back, drowning in Jack

Still holding on, still lonely

Ain't even close to over you

You keep thinking I lay here and cry

Night after night like you're the one and only

One moving on while I got it bad

You keep thinking that

You keep thinking

You keep thinking that

That I want ya

* Manhua

## Appearance

A girl in a white skirt, her youthful beauty radiated out of every pore. Her long hair flying free and a soft, welcoming look in her eyes.

Her perfect features were almost doll-like—porcelain skin and wide, sparkling eyes that were like jeweled pools come to life.

She was slightly shorter, but that only made her even more appealing and huggable. One could not help wanting to rest in her embrace.

## Personality

She was too soft. She would curl up when bullied.

And that leads to her sister thinking that Li Luo would eat her for breakfast. It would be best that she kept the two apart.

## Background

Bai Mengmeng was from the Bai family of the Gusu Province. She was the younger sister of Bai Doudou, and she had a Nightmarish Water Butterfly resonance.

## History

Resonance arts

General
 Duke
2. Soul Ascension-Grade
3. Destiny-Grade
 King

A resonance art is a special technique used to help a cultivator apply their resonant power to greater effect. There are different resonant arts for different types of resonances. Some powerful resonance arts require the cultivator's resonance to be of a certain grade before the resonance art can be used. A resonance art can also be modified with or fused with a resonance of another type to improve its effects, although this usually can only be done by cultivators who have at least reached the Duke stage.

### General Level Resonance Arts

Ordinarily, talented individuals who have reached the Resonant Master Stage can start to access General stage resonance arts. These are far better than the Entry-level resonance arts. General stage resonance arts are separated into the Tiger and Dragon level, with the Dragon level being better than the Tiger level. These resonance arts were often abbreviated to dragon-general resonance arts and tiger-general resonance arts. In the entry Resonant Master Stage, a cultivator would normally work with tiger-general resonance arts, while dragon-general resonance arts were usually used when the cultivator had fully entered the General stage.

### Duke level arts

There is a proverb within the Duke Arts that goes ‘Communion ascends the soul. One's destiny, transcendent!’ This actually refers to the four different grades of Duke Arts going from weakest to strongest. Communion-grade, Soul Ascension-grade, Destiny-grade, and Transcendent-grade. A Duke's might is heaven-splitting, and they are able to rend the earth and the heavens precisely because they possess Duke Arts. Cultivating a Duke Art is completely different from cultivating tiger and dragon-general resonance arts, and each one requires a significant amount of time to cultivate. If one's Duke Art is able to reach Grand Perfection, they become unsurpassed amongst their peers regardless of the actual grade of the art. Duke Arts are completely different from dragon-general resonance arts. The process of cultivating one requires one to comprehend the concept that underlies it. Only by understanding the true essence of the concept will one be able to indelibly brand the art onto their heart.
Shi Huang

It's said that he possesses heavenly talent and is no weaker than Lu Qing'er.

## Appearance

From the nearby lake outside the guest hall, Song Yunfeng listened to the faint murmur of voices within and then cast his eyes towards the water.

There was a white-clothed youth there, his hair trimmed short, save for a long ponytail at the back. His hands were full of fish food, and he was busy feeding the fish.

After he was done, he dusted off his hands, then a maid respectfully offered a cloth. He casually wiped his hands and then came walking towards Song Yunfeng.

As he neared, his features came into view - an ordinary-looking face, with a ghost of a smile hanging on his lips.

But looking at this unremarkable-looking youth, a slight tingle of trepidation shot through Song Yunfeng.

## Background

This was the governor's son, Shi Huang.

He was also the top student at Eastpool Academy.

## History

He received the mission from his father, Shi Qing that in the College Final Examinations, he needs to help Eastpool Academy receive the title of best school in Tianshu Province.

The reason the governor of Tianshu Province spares no effort in dealing with Southwind Academy is due to the dean of Southwind Academy had a feud with Shi Qing in the past. He tried to stop Shi Qing rise at every turn. Therefore, the golden title of best school in the Tianshu Province must be taken away from him.

To ensure success in this mission Shi Huang enlisted the help of Song Yunfeng to betray Southwind Academy and help him deal with Lu Qing'er, who is considered his biggest obstacle to securing first place.

He was defeated by Li Luo in the final round of the College Final Examinations, destroying his and his father's entire plan over the years, as well as his hopes.

## Resonance Arts

* Thunder Bird's Call - High-grade resonance art.
* Voltaic Plating - Shi Huang's killer move. Voltaic Plating not only greatly enhanced Shi Huang's defenses, but also augmented his offense and speed.

## Trivia

* He reached an agreement with the top College Final Examinations participants to deal with Lu Qing'e in the final round of the exam, with the aim of dethrating Southwind Academy from first place.
* On his first encounter with Li Luo he tried to attack him with a broad bean imbued with its resonant power, but was interrupted by Lu Qing'er.

However, she ended up getting distracted and had the jade pendant she wore around her waist, the same type that Bai Mengmeng also wears, stolen by Yu Lang, who after teasing her immediately fled.

She was so enraged that she instantly chased Yu Lang, completely forgetting about Li Luo and the Violet Vibrance Mission.

## Trivia

* During Choosing of the Mentors she was chosen by mentor Mi Er, which was what she wanted most as they both had a Wind Resonance.

Suncreek Villa

House Luolan has a specialized department whose purpose is to refine spirit liquids and purifying lights. It's known as the Suncreek Villa, and it is decently well known throughout the market for their tempering treasures when we look within the Xia Kingdom. The Suncreek Villa's headquarters is in Xia City and it has three branches spread throughout the Xia Kingdom. Coincidentally, one of these branches can be found in the Southwind City. The Suncreek Villa is responsible for a significant amount of the profits House Luolan rakes in yearly. Hence, within House Luolan, Pei Hao has also fought the hardest to take control of them, trying all means to do so. The president of this particular branch left some time ago for some reason and the position was left vacant for a while as a replacement could not be easily found. Pei Hao recruited the vice president and attempted to use him to take control of this branch. Luckily, Jiang Qing'e realized his plans and very quickly dispatched someone to clamp down on those moves. As a result, this branch of the Suncreek Villa has some internal complications, ultimately affecting the amount of spirit liquids and purifying lights it produces.

## Tianshu Province Branch

Within this branch of the Suncreek Villa, there were three refining workshops. They were split into first, second, and third-grades. Different graded refining workshops were thus responsible for the refinement of different grades of spirit liquids and purifying lights.

Upon receiving Jiang Qing'e's order, Yan Lingqing had taken over the first-grade and second-grade refining workshops. However, the third-grade workshop remained firmly within Zhuang Yi's grasp.

The two parties had, as a result, clashed multiple times both openly and secretly for the control of these refining workshops. Whoever controlled these workshops would indirectly control the majority of the resonance artificers. As the Suncreek Villa existed to refine spirit liquids and purifying lights, resonance artificers were the most important resource available.

## Suncreek Villa's Headquarters

The Suncreek Villa's headquarters were at the south of Xia City, in the same region as the headquarters of House Luolan. However, the sluggish city traffic and complex road systems meant that more than an hour passed before they arrived. Xia City was much bigger than the City of Southwind.

Compared to the City of Southwind's branch office, the headquarters here were much grander as well.

There were stone lions flanking the main doors, and flights of steps that elevated the dignity and grandeur of the place. Through the main doors, towering buildings loomed within.
Resonance

When humans trained, they had to rely upon their own resonance and use it as their foundations. They would use their resonances to draw upon the natural energy of the world, then convert it into the force known as power.

There were countless different types of resonances, but most could be roughly divided into one of two camps; elemental resonances and beast resonances.

Elemental resonances referred to the various elements that filled heaven and earth, such as water, fire, wind, or thunder. As for the beast resonances? According to the legends, during the earliest dawn of human civilization, there was an almighty figure that attempted to strengthen humanity by extracting the spirits of countless beasts, then infusing these spirits into the various human bloodlines, giving birth to what was now called ‘beast resonances’. In general, both elemental resonances and beast resonances could be roughly divided into nine different grades.

Normally, when a human child reached his teens, a cavity known as the ‘resonant palace’ would appear within that child’s body. Once it manifested, it would naturally give birth to that child’s resonance.

Seventh to ninth-grade resonances were considered high-grade.

One should not underestimate what a high-grade resonance was capable of. The power produced by a seventh-grade resonance was not the same realm as middle-grade or low-grade resonances. The resonant power was denser and also possessed some form of spirituality.

Spirituality was a difficult concept to explain; it was something that was ephemeral and could only be experienced when it was used on one's opponents.

Thus, the seventh-grade could be considered to be a watershed. Those who could cross this gap would be in possession of an almighty resonance.

Additionally, within the threshold of a high-grade resonance, they were also further classified into upper and lower distinctions. This was not applicable for first to sixth-grade resonances, and it allowed one to better differentiate the potential within these high-grade resonances.
Zhao Kuo

Difa Qing

This was Difa Qing, one of classmates of Li Luo. She was considered a beautiful golden flower of the Southwind Academy, and came from the Difa clan, one of the three great clans of the Tianshu Province.

## Appearance

Her hair was waist-long, and although she wasn’t quite up to par with Jiang Qing'e, she was definitely a natural beauty. The skin-tight school uniform she wore accentuated her lovely curves quite nicely.

## History

She didn’t have anything against Li Luo. However, she was a diehard fan of Jiang Qing'e – the extremely over-zealous, almost obsessive type of diehard fan. In her eyes, Jiang Qing'e was as beautiful, flawless, and perfect as an Immortal fairy. There was no man in this world who was worthy of her – and of course, that included Li Luo as well.

Even though Difa Qing agreed that Li Luo was an exceedingly handsome fellow, she also felt that looks were superficial. Someone worthy of Jiang Qing'e had to be a dragon amongst men, both internally and externally. Li Luo, however, had only won a marriage contract with her thanks to his parents. In Difa Qing’s eyes, this was an absolute blemish on her goddess’ honor.

And so, ever since Li Luo had joined the Southwind Academy, whenever Difa Qing saw him she would first commence with a barrage of mocking words. After that? A series of endless questions.

## Trivia

* She was tricked by Song Yunfeng into revealing Lu Qing'er's location so they could both lean on, but it was actually a trap.
Southwind Academy

Southwind Academy had four schools. The First School was the most illustrious, the Second School could be seen as the reserves. When it came to the Third and Fourth Schools, saying that they existed to make up the numbers would be a slight exaggeration, but the truth was that they were of a lower standard.

## Main Locations

* **Southwind Academy’s Wall of Honor** - It contained the descriptions of all the mighty figures who had once graduated from the Southwind Academy.
* Tree of Resonant Power

## Events

* Battle for Gold Leaves
* Preliminary Examinations of Southwind Academy

## Trivia

* Song Yunfeng was expelled by Dean Wei Sha after betraying Southwind Academy at College Final Examinations.

Just looking at him brought others an indescribable sense of comfort and safety.

## Background

He comes from a powerful force from the Inner Divine Continent, the Heavenly King Li Clan.

## Trivia

* He and Tan Tailan already knew about Li Luo's blank palaces, even before they manifested, however they didn't think it would be a bad thing, but that this is the strongest sort of constitution in this world if he have in off resources to balances the side effects.
Watersource

During the process of refinement, one have to utilize either water or light resonance power to fuse with the materials. This allows them to amplify the unique characteristics of these items. One has to be extremely careful with the strength of the resonance power. Too much and it will ruin the material, too little and the refinement process will also fail.

What happens next is the final and also most important step. In order to fuse these two sets of materials together, a certain sort of power is required. This power will ultimately influence the tempering strength of the spirit liquids and purifying lights, and it is the most critical aspect of the refinement process. This power is often referred to as **watersource** or **lightsource**. In simpler terms, this is the result of when one condenses one's water resonance power or light resonance power to its utmost.

Polymerization crystal can be used to condense one's resonant power into watersource.

The quality of the watersource or lightsource is dependent on one's resonance grade. The higher the grade of the resonance, the higher the quality of the watersource or lightsource produced. Hence, an individual with a high-grade water resonance or light resonance will naturally become a better resonance artificer than an average individual.

It wouldn’t work if two people with similar resonances and grades created two watersources of completely imperceptible but different characteristics. If someone else were to utilize differrent person watersource to complete the refinement, it would cause a conflict and the refinement would certainly fail.

However, there are specific secret arts in this world that allow one to condense a special sort of watersource or lightsource that can further improve the tempering strength of spirit liquids and purifying lights. These are known as Secret Art Watersource.

Secret art watersources is the hidden ace of numerous powers, but Suncreek Villa did not possess it.

Nine Layered Jade Waves

It is extremely appropriate for water resonance users. It's a move that starts weak but grows stronger over time. The user's strength is like the waves of a sea, gradually accumulating energy over time. This coupled with the water resonance power being extremely enduring is a ridiculously strong combination. As the fight drags on, the stronger the user will become, unless absolute strength is used to break the move completely! It allows one to grind any opponent down.
Spirit Liquids and Purifying Lights

Spirit liquids and purifying lights’ main usage were to temper one's natural resonances, to increase their grade. It was common knowledge that all spirit liquids and purifying lights possessed some form of impurities that would gradually corrupt one's resonant palace. Over a period of accumulation, this would eventually seal one's resonant palace, and at that point, tempering it any further would be impossible, reaching its final peak.

People who utilized these spirit liquids and purifying lights would not do so wantonly. They would control the frequency of this tempering, perhaps only once or twice a month. This would reduce the effect of the impurities on one's resonant palace and bring out the greatest tempering effect from these treasures.
Preliminary Examinations of Southwind Academy

The **Preliminary Examinations of Southwind Academy** is the 2nd event that occurs in the novel.

This preliminary examination was basically a qualifying round. Only the surviving twenty individuals would be able to represent Southwind Academy in the final examinations.

This was also to say that only by passing through this qualifying round and entering the top twenty would one have the right to struggle for a place within the Astral Sage College

## Announcement

"Good morning, students. The preliminary examinations are about to start. I hope that all of you here will do your utmost and display your strongest state. The ranking today will influence your future. The examinations will last three day and the results of these battles can be seen on the stone pillars situated in the four directions of the field. I will not speak any more unnecessary words and hereby announce the start of the preliminary examinations!" — Dean Wei Sha.
