Chapter 82: Rune Academy

Early the next morning, Lugh, Camia, and the others had a sumptuous breakfast in the Galaxy Hotel.

The Galaxy Hotel was indeed a well-known hotel in the Xi Zhao Empire. There were over a hundred different dishes for breakfast. They tasted delicious, and the design was exquisite. They could fully satisfy the tastes of tourists from different regions.

Gathering the ingredients was very demanding. They were all fresh ingredients from the nine great empires. Some travelers found that the taste was exactly the same as their hometown, or even better.

After eating this sumptuous breakfast, Lugh felt that the thousands of gold coins he had spent were worth it.

They had also enjoyed a sumptuous dinner last night, which was even more delicious than the breakfast this morning. There were only eight of them, but the hotel had already served them over a hundred dishes. Lugh had never even seen some of the dishes before, and the ingredients had come from the battlefield of the heavens, Lugh almost swallowed his tongue.

After eating, there were even special waitresses who would dress and bathe beside him. However, because of Clare's presence, Lugh had no choice but to decline these runes.

After eating breakfast, Lugh and his group arrived at the Rune Academy in an imposing manner.

After seeing the Rune Academy, Lugh immediately felt a wave of astonishment.

The Rune Academy in front of him was not quite what he had imagined. In Lugh's opinion, the Rune Academy, which was a sacred place for rune-masters, should be very grand and magnanimous.

However, the Rune Academy in front of him appeared very ordinary and simple. The buildings outside the gate all carried traces of aging.

"Did you not expect the Rune Academy to be like this?"

The reason Camia had love runes was that she could completely sense the change in Lugh's mood from such a close distance. Moreover, she had been paying attention to him at all times.

Lugh nodded and said softly, "Not at all."

"This has something to do with the principal who founded the Rune Academy. Back then, the principal's philosophy was to let all the students of the nine great empires study runes properly, and not to covet the reputation of the Rune Academy. The purpose of the Rune Academy is to teach well, and not to focus on external things. Therefore, the Rune Academy has always maintained such a simple and unadorned appearance.

"But even so, the rune-masters of the nine great empires have never wavered in their position in their hearts."

Camia explained softly, "Some things never need superficial appearances. The history of the Rune Academy itself is the strongest proof!"

Lugh nodded.

He agreed with Kamia's words.

As for the others, they did not have any reaction. After all, they were natives of this world. They had long heard of the matter regarding the Rune Academy, so they did not feel surprised.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed outside. These people were all students who had come to participate in the assessment, and all of them had nervous expressions on their faces.

"I don't know if I can pass the first test of my talent."

"How many runes have you condensed? What's the level of the strongest rune?"

"I... have only condensed eight runes, and the highest one is only orange runes."

"Damn, you actually dare to participate in the Rune Academy's assessment?"

"I'm just thinking of giving it a try. What If I pass? Didn't a famous person say that dreams must come true? What if it comes true?"

"..."

Whispers could be heard from the crowd from time to time.

The Rune Academy's assessment was divided into two parts, the talent test and the Divine Monument test.

As the name implied, the talent test was to test a person's talent.

And the Divine Monument Test was much more mysterious. Everyone who participated in the test would come before these divine monuments. Only those with great fortune and great wisdom could light the Divine Monument.

In other words, the talent test was to see whether a person had the possibility of becoming a powerful rune-master, and the Divine Monument could basically determine that person's future.

For thousands of years, the rune-masters who were able to light up all the Divine Monuments had been all the most powerful rune-masters in the rune world, becoming the nine-star rune-masters.

Elizabeth had already mentioned this to Lugh on the way, so he wasn't surprised.

They started to join the queue.

The talent test was very fast. Although Lugh didn't know what method to use, he could see that the people who went to take the test would be able to return before long.

Those who had a happy smile on their faces passed the test and could continue to take the next round of the Divine Monument Test. Those who had sad faces and ugly expressions naturally did not pass the test.

Seeing the students who had not passed the test looking like they were in a daze, the remaining students who had not taken the test immediately became nervous. The originally noisy group became much quieter.

The crowd continued to move forward, and slowly, it was Lugh's turn.

He followed a teacher and came to a stone house. Inside was an old man wearing a long black robe.

It looked like he was a teacher from the Rune Academy who was in charge of this test.

The old man held a transparent crystal ball in his hand. When he saw Lugh enter, he coldly said, "Pick up this crystal ball, close your eyes, and hold it tightly for ten breaths."

Although he didn't quite understand the intention of doing this, Lugh didn't dare to say anything. He stepped forward and took the crystal ball from the old man's hand, tightly holding it.

The crystal ball was bone-piercing cold as if it was a lump of ice. However, Lugh didn't care too much. He closed his eyes and began to ease his breathing.

This crystal ball had a very common name: Spirit Testing Pearl.

Spirit Testing Pearl could test a person's talent and display the corresponding color. This was similar to the pronunciation of runes.

A person's talent could also be divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

In order to pass the test, a student's talent had to reach the green level.

This was also one of the reasons why the students of the Rune Academy were all elites. Just based on talent alone, they had already selected a large number of people.

As for the academies of other empires, the requirements were not so strict. As long as one had talent in cultivation, they would be able to enter and study.
