180: Special Admissions

As the highest-ranked academic institution in the Great Yan Dynasty, Great Yan Academy is undoubtedly the supreme martial arts Holy Land in the hearts of the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Countless young men and women regard the ability to enter Great Yan Academy as a tremendous honor.

Today happens to be the day Great Yan Academy recruits new Disciples, which, for the younger generation within the Great Yan Dynasty, is an absolutely unprecedented grand event.

For this meaningful recruitment today, countless talented young men and women harboring dreams and ambitions have traveled tirelessly toward the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Their eyes flicker with eager light, as they all hope to stand out in this academy recruitment and become students of the academy with boundless futures.

Along the way, the number of young people heading to Great Yan Academy increases, and Yang Lingchen is one of them.

About half an hour later, Yang Lingchen finally arrives at the gate of Great Yan Academy.

At this moment, the recruitment square of Great Yan Academy is already a sea of people, with dense crowds of young men and women everywhere.

Yang Lingchen estimates that there are at least one hundred thousand people in this square.

These one hundred thousand or so people are all young Prodigies from various cities within the Great Yan Dynasty.

Although so many people have come to participate in the assessment, only one percent will ultimately be able to enter Great Yan Academy.

However, even with an elimination rate as high as ninety-nine percent, countless young men and women still flock to Great Yan Academy.

Yang Lingchen carefully observes the surrounding crowd; although these young men and women are not very old, their cultivation level is frighteningly high.

Most of them are around the eighth or ninth layer of the God Entry Realm, and there are even quite a few Geniuses who have reached the Peak of the ninth layer of the God Entry Realm.

Regarding this, Yang Lingchen feels not the slightest fear; he does not think he is inferior to these people who are like flowers in a greenhouse.

The recruitment conditions for Great Yan Academy are actually very simple: as long as one is under eighteen years old and has a cultivation level above the fifth layer of the God Entry Realm, one can sign up for the assessment.

And the rules of the assessment are actually very direct and clear; it is a combat mode, and only the top one thousand Geniuses in the final ranking can become Outer Court Disciples of the academy.

Of course, there is also a type of special admission student who does not need to participate in the assessment.

Special admission students are Geniuses who know Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or are skilled in researching Formation; these types of Geniuses do not need to participate in the assessment and can enter the academy directly.

When Yang Lingchen sees the recruitment conditions for special admission students, he immediately laughs. Isn't this a VIP channel opened specifically for him?

Yang Lingchen walks to the special admission recruitment desk without hesitation and says, "This beautiful lady, I want to sign up for special admission."

"Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, which one do you know?"

The person in charge of the special admission assessment is a young woman with a cold and aloof temperament, a stunningly beautiful face, and an enchanting figure.

This woman is none other than Ye Wushuang, a core student of Great Yan Academy, and she is also an Alchemist.

Yang Lingchen thinks for a moment and says, "I know a little bit of all of these."

"Are you playing with This Young Lady?" Ye Wushuang looks at Yang Lingchen coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with chill.

One must know that Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formation each require a vast amount of time and energy to accumulate experience.

And what Ye Wushuang hates most is the type of person who boasts and brags in front of her, so Yang Lingchen's image in her heart instantly becomes terrible.

"Beautiful lady, you have misunderstood; I really do know a little bit of all of these." Yang Lingchen hurriedly explains.

"Are you sure you aren't boasting to me?"

Ye Wushuang stares at Yang Lingchen with unkind beautiful eyes, her expression as if saying, if you dare to fool me, I will absolutely not let you off.

"I am sure." Yang Lingchen says again, his eyes filled with determination.

"Very good, come with me." A cold sneer curls the corners of Ye Wushuang's mouth, as she thinks to herself, let's see how long you can keep up the act.

"Damn, This Young Lady is on her period, no wonder she's so hot-tempered!" Yang Lingchen thinks to himself, but still obediently follows.

Led by Ye Wushuang, Yang Lingchen arrives at a magnificent great hall in the Inner Court of Great Yan Academy.

"Little Ye! Aren't you recruiting at the special admission desk? Why did you run over to this old man's place?" An old man wearing Elder robes walks over slowly, with a kind smile on his face.

"Elder Liu, this kid says he is proficient in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formation, so I brought him over for you to take a look." Ye Wushuang says, her tone carrying a trace of doubt.

"Proficient in all of them? Are you sure this kid isn't boasting?" Liu Xianjiang looks incredulous as he looks Yang Lingchen up and down.

"Whether he is boasting or not, we will know once we test him." Ye Wushuang says, crossing her arms over her chest.

"That is true, this old man happens to have nothing to do, so let's see if this kid is really just boasting!"

Liu Xianjiang laughs; as one of the few Artifact Refiners in Great Yan Academy, his attainments in Artifact Refining are absolutely second to none.

Ye Wushuang's autumn-water-like eyes look at Yang Lingchen with a trace of mockery, saying: "Tell me! Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, which one shall we start with?"

Yang Lingchen spreads his hands and shrugs, saying with an indifferent face: "Whatever!"

"Fine, then let's start with Alchemy! Let's see how long you can keep up the act." Ye Wushuang says while biting her lip, thinking to herself, let's see how you make a fool of yourself later.

"Fine!" Yang Lingchen doesn't talk nonsense and directly takes out the black cauldron, saying: "You wouldn't make me provide the Medicinal Pill Materials myself, right!"

"Hmph! You're just being stubborn, let's see how you end this later."

Ye Wushuang snorts coldly and directly takes out a portion of Materials for a God Entry Realm Medicinal Pill, throwing it in front of Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen takes the Materials, skillfully sorts them, and then activates the Pill fire within his body.

Liu Xianjiang strokes his beard and nods: "Hmm! This kid's technique looks quite good."

Soon, Yang Lingchen methodically tosses the Materials one by one into the Pill Furnace, while continuously increasing the intensity of the Pill fire.

"This kid really has some skills." Ye Wushuang thinks to herself, her suspicion beginning to waver.

At the same time, she believes the fact that Yang Lingchen knows Alchemy; as for Artifact Refining, she cannot believe it. After all, a person's energy is limited; specializing in one thing is already headache-inducing enough, let alone two.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Lingchen withdraws the Pill fire and then gently opens the black cauldron.

"I just refined it casually, please take a look, you two." Although Yang Lingchen looks extremely humble, those who know him would know how much he is showing off right now.

A supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill, how do you expect others to offer guidance?

"Hiss!"

"A supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill!" Elder Liu takes a deep breath, a look of shock appearing on his face. Although he is an Artifact Refiner, he can still recognize a supreme grade Medicinal Pill.

Ye Wushuang looks at the supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill in the Pill Furnace in disbelief. She walks over quickly, gently picks up the God Entry Medicinal Pill, examines it for a long time, and says: "How could you possibly refine a supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill?"

"Is a supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill difficult? You wouldn't be unable to refine even a supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill, would you!" Yang Lingchen smiles and looks at Ye Wushuang, his eyes carrying a trace of provocation.

"I..., of course I can refine it!" Ye Wushuang says, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Although she knows how to refine God Entry Medicinal Pills, she can only refine Advanced God Entry Medicinal Pills and cannot reach the level of supreme grade.

"So you can do it too!" Yang Lingchen smiles slightly; he can naturally tell that Ye Wushuang is boasting.

Because Ye Wushuang looks only about twenty years old, it is unlikely to refine a supreme grade God Entry Medicinal Pill at this age; after all, supreme grade Medicinal Pills require a long time of accumulation to be refined.

"Hmph! Let's do Artifact Refining!" Ye Wushuang says coldly, feeling a bit unconvinced in her heart.

"Artifact Refining is fine, but I only refine Imperial Artifacts. If you can take out Imperial-grade Materials, I will refine one for you to see." Yang Lingchen has a confident, extremely show-off appearance.

It just so happens that the Rank of the immortal demon sword is falling behind a bit; if the other party can provide Imperial-grade Materials, he doesn't mind showing off his Artifact Refining skills.
