Of course, those people in the Soul Region only possess bloodlines that are infinitely close to the Soul Beast, and are not real soul beasts. Therefore, if we were to fight later on, we need not show any mercy.

"And the content of our assessment today is to pass through these obstacles and arrive at the five great stone halls within the five courtyards. The five great stone halls are: Eastern Blue Hall, Phoenix Hall, Mysterious Spirit Hall, Green Heaven Hall, Holy Spirit Hall, whatever academy you chose earlier and enter which stone hall. Within the stone hall, there is a spatial spirit formation that leads to the various great academies.

"If you want to pass through this forest and reach the central stone hall, even though there are many demonic beasts and soul beasts on the way, it shouldn't be difficult. The Five Great Academies making such a huge scene shouldn't be as simple as this, right?" Xia Hun Wu frowned slightly as he muttered to himself.

Ke ke, little fellows, don't be so hasty. There are five stone tablets on the Heaven Stepping Stone before the rules have been passed down, take turns to touch these five stone tablets, these five stone tablets will be ranked according to your talent, a total of three levels, from the lowest to the highest are people. Earth, sky, generally speaking, there are Human and Earth ranks, and only a small number of Heaven Ranked students will appear.

Everyone hesitated for a moment when they heard this. They immediately separated into five groups in succession and began to touch the stone tablet. After their hands touched it, a light also flashed on the stone tablet before finally landing on their palms.

When the light scattered, a flickering light imprint would appear on the students' palms. However, all of their imprints had a faint dark yellow color and within the light imprint, was the word 'person'.

It was obvious that the majority of these people had the lowest level of imprints.

These people looked at the marks on each other's hands and shook their heads helplessly. They were elites that had been selected from all the large cities. Their talent was actually at the bottom of the Five Great Academies.

Sigh!

Numerous sighs resounded over the Sky Stomp Stone Square.

Weng! *

While everyone shook their heads helplessly, a powerful ray of light suddenly erupted from the stone tablet near the middle of the Spiritual Array. The light turned golden and finally gathered in the palm of a young man in front of the stone tablet.

When the golden imprint appeared, a faint "Heaven" was formed.

"Heaven Stage? His talent actually obtained Heaven Stage? " The golden radiance was simply too dazzling compared to the dark-yellow radiance. Therefore, quite a few of the surrounding youths cast their gazes over. Immediately, they smacked their lips as their eyes filled with envy.

His chin was slightly raised and a haughty look appeared on his face. A person who could obtain a Heaven Symbol was someone who could look down on these students, because the Heaven Symbol and the Human Symbol represented two different levels.

And although the blue-clothed young man's disdainful gaze towards them made them feel quite displeased, they also knew that the blue-clothed young man's talent was indeed a lot stronger than theirs. So, it was best not to provoke such a person.

After the golden glow appeared on the Heaven Stepping Stone, another two students with a golden glow appeared. This caused many people to secretly sigh in admiration, just on their Heaven Stepping Stone, there were three students with a Heaven Ranked Imprint. It was really a wonder how many Heaven Ranked students were within the Five Branch World.

Moreover, they even participated in the Soul Region in the other Five Academies. Just how terrifying were the Five Holy Academies?

They might not know how strong the person who obtained the Heaven Ranked Inscription was, but to be able to obtain it from the stone tablet, their talent could only be described as monstrous. After all, among the thousands of people, only four of them had appeared.

Xia Hun Wu and Zhou Yao were in no hurry to touch the stone monument. Only when most of the surrounding people had dispersed did they slowly move forward. Zhou Yao's talent was needless to say, he was directly marked as a Human Rank.

When the golden words appeared on Xia Hengwu's palm, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar again. Soon after, they shot their gazes over, and even the three youngsters who had obtained the Heaven Ranked Insignia previously also turned their gazes towards Xia Hun Wu. It was evident that Xia Hun Wu, who had obtained the Heaven Ranked Insignia, was worthy of their attention.

The corners of his mouth seemed to form into a mocking smile as he quickly said: "Since all of you have already obtained the rank, then I will continue to explain the rules. All students below the Earth Ranked will be expelled by the five Yuan level. That is to say, they will forever lose their qualifications to enter the five great Sacred Academies."

"Wh …" "What!?"

All of the students stared dumbfoundedly at the old man. From the looks of it, other than the ones who obtained the Heaven Rank imprint, none of them had the qualifications to enter the Five Great Academies?

As long as you kill a demon beast, obtain a demon core, or obtain some heavenly and earthly treasure that contains soul power, the seal on your palms will naturally absorb some soul power and achieve an increase in strength. However, this effect is not too great.

When they heard the old man's words, everyone slowly heaved a sigh of relief. So they could actually improve by killing Demonic Beasts and Soul Beasts.

I will tell you one way to increase your strength, and that is to snatch the soul power from other people's imprints. This way, the imprint in your palms will swiftly increase in strength, and if it is an imprint with high Devouring Power, it will go from a Human Rank to Earth Rank, or even Heaven Rank. Of course, these are all within the scope of your strength. That old figure's face was filled with smiles as he spoke, appearing like a schemer that was luring the youngsters into committing crimes.

Xia Hun Wu frowned slightly. This kind of rule was like the law of nature: the strong preys on the weak. Moreover, with the encouragement of this old man, the Five Great Academies' examinations were indeed not simple.

While Xia Hun Wu was pondering, he could also feel a change in the surrounding gazes. A hint of desire and greed appeared in the eyes of some of those who were looking at him. This was not a good omen.
