Lin Tian's eyes immediately narrowed. He didn't think that the second round of the preliminaries would actually already be over.

Lin Tian knew that the first round was to send various instructors to various cities under the rule of the Azure Province to select talents. The cultivation of the Tian Luo Kingdom was widespread, so there were many academies. The Azure Province was also a large region, so this task had already begun two to three months ago.

The local academies would recommend it, and after that, the teachers of the Azure Province Academy would personally select it.

Those that passed the selection naturally meant that they passed the first round of selection and could come to the Azure Province to participate in the second round.

However, Xiao Lin had come to kill Lin Tian, and in order to not anger the Second Prince, he had also been able to protect Lin Tian. Xiao Yunhai could only beg Lin Tian's grandteacher, the current headmaster of the Azure Province, Gu Qingyuan, to allow Elder Zhang to bring Lin Tian to the Exquisite Pagoda and have him test Lin Tian's potential. To be honest, this was the first time the people of the Azure Province had brought the Exquisite Pagoda to specifically find a student in the Exquisite Pagoda.

However, a month had already passed since Lin Tian started the Exquisite Pagoda's trial. At that time, all the students who had passed the first round of selection were also rushing to the Cyan Plains. By now, their calculations should have been correct, and it was quite normal for the Exquisite Pagoda's trial to be over.

However, Lin Tian did not know about this matter … …

"Yes, I think that after our meal, we will be able to take a look at the rankings. I heard that there are quite a few outstanding individuals in the Exquisite Pagoda, and a few of them were even evaluated as seed students. They are almost certain to pass the third round of selection, and will even be able to enter the inner courtyard in the future, or even leave their names on the Proclamation of Azure Sky!" Another person in the neighboring seat also chimed in.

Separated by the screen, although Lin Tian couldn't clearly see the people who spoke, he could sense that there were about four or five people, all around the third level of the Qi Hai realm.

"Which brother is spying on us?" Lin Tian had only just retracted his Spiritual Force and unexpectedly, someone had already noticed it.

Lin Tian was surprised for a moment. He hadn't thought that those people's perception was not weak either. He had only checked for a bit and was already discovered by them …

Lin Tian was just about to speak when the screen at the side suddenly opened. From within the screen, a young noble walked out with a faint smile and said: "I'm being reckless, please do not take offense. It's just that I heard from my brothers that something about the announcement was announced just now, so I'm a bit curious.

There was actually someone spying on them. However, Lin Tian was still a little curious, this Young Master had just spied on them and hid his mental strength very well, he actually did not notice, could it be that he was also a Symbol Master?

Just as Lin Tian was about to release his mental energy to investigate, a voice transmitted into his ears: "I presume you must be a Symbol Master, interesting, but it's best if you don't use your mental energy to find out my strength, otherwise, it is very possible that you might accidentally injure me, that won't be good … …"

Lin Tian was startled, but soon realized that this person was undoubtedly a Symbol Master. He had just discovered him!

From this point of view, the young master in front of him had a strength that was even stronger than his. It was because this young master had discovered him, but he did not discover this young master …

"Don't take him too seriously …" At this moment, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace spoke again, "He has a secret treasure on him, it is very normal for him to sense you, and since that secret treasure is covering his aura, you naturally cannot sense it, but what he said is right, you shouldn't easily investigate him, otherwise you might be affected by the backlash from that secret treasure on his body …"

Lin Tian suddenly understood. No wonder, he also said that his own mental energy was already abnormal. If this young master's mental energy was stronger than his, then to what extent would the demon's be? It was unimaginable...

At this moment, the few people sitting next to her also opened the screen and smiled: "It's alright. Since you're curious, let me explain …"

The young master smiled and said, "I couldn't wish for more!"

With that, the young master took out a purse from his bosom and threw it to the waiter, saying, "I will pay for these three tables. Also, give me ten pots of the best Bamboo Leaf Green, and the rest will be your reward!"

The waiter weighed the money in his hand and immediately smiled brightly. He knew that the money in the bag in his hand was at least 100 gold coins, and the money from the three tables of food in total was only dozens of gold coins, and even if it was ten jars of the best bamboo leaf cyan, it would only be 30 gold coins, or no more than 90 gold coins. In other words, just from the reward alone, he would be able to receive nearly 10 gold coins, and after a year of hard work, he could only earn a maximum of 20 gold coins.

When Lin Tian heard that the young master said three tables worth of money, he was surprised for a moment, but then he understood that the young master had also paid for his food.

Lin Tian also opened the screen and smiled: "Many thanks, brother … …"

The young master faintly smiled and said, "Let's be friends."

When the few men sitting next to them heard that someone was paying for them, their smiles became a bit wider. Then, they smiled and said, "Since that's the case, many thanks, Young Master."

"You have to rely on your friends to travel. Why are you being so courteous?" That Young Master cupped his fists and said, "Please explain the matter of the announcement just now!"

Those people naturally got excited after receiving such benefits from the young master.

A burly man said, "Young Master, I presume this is your first time in the Azure Province and you don't know much about the Azure Province Academy."

The young master nodded and then said, "That's right. To be honest, I'm actually here to participate in the selection of the Azure Province Academy. However, based on what everyone said, I haven't made it to the second round of the selection, right?"

"It's too late for the second round of selection." The other burly man answered.

Following that, the few of them told this young master a lot of things. They were all about the selection process of the Azure Province. Lin Tian knew about this, so he only quietly listened and did not interrupt.

"However, of course, the three rounds of selection is only one of the methods. Other than that, there are other ways to enter the Azure Province Academy."

"What are the other methods?" The young master was immediately interested.

"For example, if Young Master has a deep background and there is someone you're familiar with in the Azure Province Academy, you can directly enter without going through three rounds of selection." Someone answered.

"Or maybe Young Master has some talent, or maybe has some sort of Spiritual Body, or maybe the Azure Province Academy will make an exception for the selection." Another person added.

"So that's how it is." The young master nodded his head and said, "My fellow brothers, let's talk about the announcement of the results."

"Releasing the rankings is really easy." A burly man laughed and said, "For the second round of the selection, let's call it the Exquisite Pagoda Exquisite Pagoda Trial. The Exquisite Pagoda Trial will test the student's potential!"

"The Exquisite Pagoda has a total of eighteen floors. The final potential is to see how many floors you can reach in the Exquisite Pagoda. The instructors responsible for selecting the examiners of the Qingzhou School will determine your final level according to the number of floors you will reach." A large man slowly approached.

Lin Tian and that Young Master listened in amazement. Honestly speaking, Lin Tian did not know about this.

"The so-called rank determination is based on your potential. For example, the Exquisite Pagoda's trial. The students who reach the seventh floor will have the qualifications to enter the third round of selection. Thus, those who reach the seventh floor can be ranked as first."

"The ninth floor is yet another barrier. Those who have reached the ninth floor or above can be deemed to have reached the second floor."

"Above the twelfth floor is yet another threshold. It can be called a level three."

"A student who has reached the twelfth layer and is also a third-level student already represents their talent and strength."

Those who have reached level fourteen are called seed students, or seed level. As for those who are able to reach level fourteen, they are strength, talent, luck, and one out of ten thousand will be the future hope of the Azure Province.

In general, reaching the seed level means that passing the third round of the selection wouldn't be a difficult task, and it would also be carefully nurtured by the Azure Province Academy. Later on, one would become an inner disciple of the Azure Province Academy, even becoming a member of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, participating in the competition among the students of the Tian Luo Five Great Academies, and becoming a member of the Hidden Dragon Rank wouldn't be impossible.

The few big guys were talking at once, but their words were very clear.

Those large men looked extremely majestic, as if they were mercenaries.

Lin Tian and that young master repeatedly nodded their heads. Even Lin Tian had a new understanding of the Azure Province's school selection.

That young master hadn't heard enough and couldn't help but ask again, "Then, what about the so-called Proclamation of Azure Sky and the Hidden Dragon Rank?"

The Proclamation of Azure Sky is the ranking board for all the students of the Azure Province Academy, because the name of the school itself is called the Clear Sky School, and it is derived from the meaning of 'stepping on the Azure Sky'. This list contains the 100 strongest students of the Azure Province Academy, and these students are the pride of the school, as well as representing the strength of the school.

The Hidden Dragon Rank is the number one rank in the Tian Luo Rank, Tian Luo Kingdom's top five academies, and this Hidden Dragon Rank is to record the students who are ranked in the top one hundred of the top five academies. It can be said that the rank on the Hidden Dragon Rank is to control the existence of Tian Luo Kingdom, the Hidden Dragon Rank.

The young master was fascinated by her words, his face flushing red. Coincidentally, the waiter had already brought the wine over, and the young master laughed loudly: "Drink, drink."

A few people chatted while Lin Tian smiled back, but he had a plan in his heart.
