Yuzhi had 7 days before the entrance exam to Stone Frost Acamdy, which he used to explore the city.

Stone Frost City was considered small among villages, having around 120 thousand citizens and Yuzhi guessed 200 to 300 plus cultivators.

Stone Frost City, among all the cities in the Rock Lake Kingdom, was considered quite small.

But the reason it was a bustling city with quite a lot of cultivators was due to it having an academy, which many cities salivated to have.

Besides that, it had a good export of frost stones, which were a luxurious material mostly bought by influential groups.

And talking about influential groups, due to Stone Frost City having an academy, it was normal for large organizations to have branches.

Among them, there was one name that stood out among all of them, Soul Society.

To describe their strength through words was something Yuzhi couldn't do.

They were the strongest organization in the entire world, well, he wasn't sure about that. But he knew they were the most powerful organization he knew.

Of course, besides Soul Society, other organizations also had a branch here, but they were the kind of groups who could only hold their name high inside Rock Lake Kingdome.

This also showed Soul Society's power, being the only organization able to open branches wherever they wanted.

Yuzhi was at the point where he couldn't even see the end of one toe from Soul Society, so he didn't bother too much fangirling over them and trained himself.

But he didn't mean his body or cultivation base but started studying.

His biggest problem was the lack of knowledge he had.

The only kingdom he knew was the Rock Lake Kingdom. He didn't know how strong it was compared to other kingdoms, nor did he know how many other kingdoms there were on this continent, or how many continents there were.

Although to some people this wouldn't be a big problem, Yuzhi was someone who strengthened himself by grabbing opportunities. And the best way to grab an opportunity before anyone else was to make predictions using the information only a few had.

So Yuzhi paid a lot of attention to studying, but he quickly realized it would be a while before he could know everything about this world.

Not only was a lot of information only held by organizations, meaning he couldn't access it as of now.

But even the information he could access was a lot, and soon he realized how truly large this world was.

But this didn't deter Yuzhi, and he started with the information usable in his current area.

Besides that, he also searched for work. Which was hard to find due to his age. And while his cultivation base helped, that only applied if he wanted to become something like a mercenary.

But this didn't bring down Yuzhi, because he had learned that students could become a professor's assistant, and the pay was quite good.

And all this also made him realize something. There didn't exist some kind of cultivator currency.

And while he wasn't sure, Yuzhi guessed that weaker cultivators like him still used things like gold that mortals used as a currency. While those stronger cultivators and organizations traded items useful to them.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Of course, the current Yuzhi could only speculate, making his desire to see how the top of this world was.

Before Yuzhi knew it, 7 days had passed and Yuzhi stood in front of the academy. He was very happy the doors opened today because his budget was running dangerously low.

Yuzhi stepped on the ground of the academy, seeing many young kids just like him, excited to enter the academy, there was only one difference between them and him, he was alone.

But he didn't care about that and went to the training ground, where the entrance exam would be conducted.

He waited for a while before the examiner would arrive. And Yuzhi realized the woman who had set foot on the stage was strong, very strong.

"Welcome everyone to the Stone Frost Academy, today, we shall test those worthy of becoming a student of our prestigious academy. The tests aren't very difficult, but besides those, there are also some requirements you must fulfill to become a student." When the lady spoke, everyone fell silent, which was impressive, because Yuzhi guessed there were around 70 plus kids here and their family.

"The first one is obvious, you mustn't be older than 12 years old. But if you are age 13 or 14, you can apply to become a stu...

The second one is that you mustn't have any criminal record or be pursued by a righteous organization.

The third is..."

After talking for a while, the woman started with the first test, which was incredibly easy to pass, it was to show you are a cultivator by drawing out Qi.

The second was a bit harder, and you needed to draw out a certain amount of Qi in a minute, which only someone who had achieved the Purple Qi Channeling Realm or had a very wide Qi Chanel could achieve. This made it very obvious the academy didn't care for people who didn't have the luxury in their life to awaken when they were 12.

If someone was only able to awaken a month before the entrance exam, even if they were incredibly talented, they wouldn't be able to enter the academy.

Yuzhi observed everyone who took the second test, and while almost no one failed, there were some among those who passed that stood out to him.

The first was Zhou Jun, who Yuzhi deduced was quite poor seeing his clothes. But despite that, the performance he gave when on the stage was something comparable to those talented young masters and mistresses from big clans.

And talking about them, there were a few that caught Yuzhi's eyes.

Jin Huang was someone who had caught his attention not because he was talented, but because of his background and intelligence.

He was the only son of the current head of the Wind Direction Merchant Group. A large merchant group situated within Stone Frost City

And his intelligence was under-average, making him someone great to manipulate with a lot of value.

Song Lying was the last person to whom Yuzhi paid attention. He didn't know a lot about her, but he knew her family. The Song clan was one of the biggest clans within Fallen Flood City, a city near Stone Frost City.

From what he deducted, her talent was alright, something that could stand out among ordinary people, but not in a place like this.

But what attracted him was this feeling of darkness he received from her. This was something he had noticed after eating the Ginseng Of Evil And Good, he could feel if someone had a large amount of evil or good thoughts.

This made him happy because after eating the Ginseng, it didn't give any reaction.

And while he had seen 2 people before with a large amount of evil thoughts for him to notice, she had the most of them among anyone he had seen.

And while he held some interest in her, it was quite limited and he would wait and see before taking any real action.

Soon, it was his turn and he passed the test without any problems, which wasn't something uncommon, only a few students failed this test.

But the last test was one Yuzhi could see students actually failing at.

It was to spar with the examiner, and you would need to hold on for 2 minutes.

Yuzhi took this chance to observe everyone closely, but he didn't have anyone else that he found interesting.

Zhou Jun fought not very well, but he managed the persevere for 2 minutes before falling unconscious. Looking closely, Yuzhi realized the examiner changed her strength depending on her target.

Jin Huang wasn't very strong, but with all the resources his father had put into him, it would be shameful if he didn't pass, which made it good that he did.

Song Lying also passed just as Yuzhi expected, and while he did get a lot more information this round about his interests, it wasn't something that shocked him.

Soon, it was Yuzhi's turn, and while he could have given his all, using every technique he had at his disposal. He didn't bother doing that because it wasn't like there was some first place or a price.

This would determine nothing, so it would be better to not reveal everything.

And while he couldn't compare to some of the top talents here, he was quite strong and it seemed the examiner respected that.

She didn't go easy on him, but also severely held back because else she would crush him.

Soon, 2 minutes had passed and Yuzhi had become an official student of Stone Frost Academy.

This meant free food, a free dorm, and lessons from teachers who were all much stronger and more expirienced than him.
