Mo Wuji and the four family heads were very happy to hear Elder Chen say that there was no limit to the number of people. As the representative of the power in the remote mountains, the Four Great Families and the City Lord's Mansion were only a small and insignificant force in the outside world.

And the reason why the five clans developed so slowly was because their clan's cultivation and martial skills were not of a high grade. It was a great deal related to this.

Speaking of which, if they could obtain a cultivation method or a martial skill above the yellow level, then these five would wake up laughing even in their dreams.

Now, since the Heavenly Star Academy had opened their doors to recruit new students, with the strength of the various academies, there would surely be even more students who would be able to participate in the selection.

In fact, compared to the disciples from the Humble Class families, the students from the big families had a higher starting point. In addition, the big families occupied the majority of the cultivation resources, so the students' advancement was not something that the children from the Humble Class could compare with.

Unless one had great luck and had a fortuitous encounter, it was impossible for a child of the Humble Class to stand up.

Take the recruitment for instance, although the selection was for those of the same age as Sky Star Academy, the members of influential families had a much more solid foundation than those of Humble Class. Naturally, it was easier for them to pass the selection.

Not to mention that although the Heavenly Star Academy had opened their doors for recruitment, the relative selection conditions were naturally much higher.

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Star Academy wasn't a philanthropist, and it was impossible for them to accept any disciples who were willing to join. In that academy, strength was respected as well.

At the same time, Elder Chen's words also meant that the previous Large Competition held by the Lu family had completely lost all meaning.

In other words, the two arms of Lu Yi and Lu Zhen could be considered to have been sacrificed for nothing.

Of course, it was said that Grand Elder Lu Wei had already found two Rebirth Pills, and was preparing to give these two Lu Family elites a new set of limbs. As for the price he had to pay, it was not something that outsiders would know.

"Elder Chen, may I know the specific selection criteria?"

The head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Tianxing, asked Elder Chen somewhat cautiously.

This was a question that everyone was more concerned about.

Elder Chen smiled and said, "The conditions are relatively simple. First of all, it's your age. You must not exceed eighteen years old."

Second, his cultivation must be above the middle Houtian realm. Of course, if he reached the Xiantian realm, his age could be relaxed to no more than twenty years old.

In addition, the selection process was the same as before. Strength was first measured, and one had to reach a strength of more than 100,000 jin to be considered qualified.

After that is the innate talent test. You must reach or surpass the yellow rank talent.

The final test tested the strength of one's spiritual force.

The people who participate in the selection must choose three of the five beads out of the thirty that are continuously rotating within the specified time limit, in order to pass. "

Elder Chen explained the selection criteria in detail and then smiled as he stopped, looking at the several Patriarchs seated.

"Elder Chen, the previous procedures were not like this, right?

I remember that after the strength test, it was a four-man free-for-all to determine the winner.

After entering the ring, he used the mode of four people fighting to decide on the appropriate spots.

Why did it change so much this time? "

Mo Wuji cautiously asked Elder Chen for confirmation.

Elder Chen maintained his demeanor as he smiled, "City Lord Mo, you also said that there is a limit to the slots, which is why you used such a selection method.

Due to the many drawbacks of that method, the academy had already made improvements five years ago, replacing them with the current procedures. They had removed the restrictions on the spots, all in order to select more talents suitable for the academy.

What, does City Lord Mo have any objections? "

Although Elder Chen said this in a relaxed manner, in his tone, there was already a faint trace of displeasure.

"How dare you!

Elder Chen, this move of Mo's is only to resolve the doubt in my heart.

My Greencloud City is located in a remote place, and your esteemed academy only comes once every ten years. I, Mo, also feel sorry for the innumerable disciples in the city, and am unable to enter your esteemed academy to study, which has caused me to regret for the rest of my life.

Even though Mo Wuji had always been very polite to Elder Chen, but as someone who had been in the upper echelon for a long time, he was not very afraid of an outer sect elder of the sect, so he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly to Elder Chen.

"Come, come, come, Elder Chen, have a taste of my Greencloud City's specialty, Hundred Flowers Brewing."

Seeing that both sides' words were stiff, Lu Xiong immediately stood up and poured a cup of wine for Elder Chen to smooth it over for both sides.

"Hahaha!"

Elder Chen laughed heartily, "I haven't been in this Greencloud City for over twenty years. When it comes to this Hundred Blossom Wine, I miss it a lot!"

With that, Elder Chen raised his wine cup and clinked it against Lu Xiong's and downed it in one gulp.

"Good wine!" "Good wine!"

Putting down the cup, Elder Chen was full of praise.

Seeing that, this Elder Chen probably liked the food in the cup. He quickly took the wine pot and poured another cup for Elder Chen, and smiled: "Since Elder Chen likes it, when we leave, my Lu family will prepare ten pots for you. I hope Elder Chen will not decline."

"Hahaha, sorry to trouble you, Master Lu.

"Then, will I be disrespectful?"

Elder Chen said in amusement.

"Elder Chen has come from afar as a guest, this Lu should be like this.

Come, Elder Chen, I offer you another cup. "

With that said, Lu Xiong raised his wine cup and signaled to Elder Chen as he downed it in one gulp.

"I will do it first. Elder Chen, after you!"

Putting down his wine cup, Lu Xiong said to Elder Chen.

"Looks like Patriarch Lu is someone of the same line!

"Good, good, good!"

Elder Chen also very straightforwardly raised his cup and once again drank the wine in it.

Looking at the other people around, Elder Chen raised his cup again and smiled: "Everyone, this is my greatest hobby in life, and it is also the thing within this cup.

"Come, come, everyone. Let's not sit idly in front of fine wine. I wish to toast everyone and thank City Lord Mo and the other Patriarchs for their warm hospitality."

The City Lord, Mo Wuji, who had just met with a face full of ashes, glanced at Lu Xiong in displeasure. He also raised his wine cup along with the crowd and accompanied Elder Chen's.

Next, the feast proceeded in an atmosphere that was neither warm nor hot.

Elder Chen, on the other hand, would chat with Lu Xiong from time to time, appearing to be very friendly.

At the end of the feast, Elder Chen pulled Lu Xiong's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, since you came here today, you have the task of selecting the best talents for the institution, so I can't drink with you today.

"After the mission is completed, I will definitely visit your house and drink three hundred cups with Brother Lu!"

"Brother Chen, then should I clean up the tatami at home?"

Obviously, after this round of wine, Elder Chen and Lu Xiong were unexpectedly bound by fate. The two of them were now brothers.

"Hahaha!"

Brother Lu, at that time, I will be troubling you. "

Elder Chen laughed.
