After hearing what Lan Haitian had to say, the representative from Repairing Heaven Institute frowned, proposing a potential issue.
"What if the first-place finisherin the end, doesn't meet the cut-off scores for admission into our Four Great Daoist Academies? What are we to do then?"
"Isn't that even better? It gives us a legitimate reason not to admit any."
Lan Haitian's words caused everyone present to startle before their expressions cleared in understanding.
Admission requirements for the Four Great Daoist Academies were strict, preferring to have fewer but superior students each year. This led to criticisms from cultivators, accusing the academies of hoarding the most cultivation resources from the celestial schools and being overly selfish.
