"Oh, so user-friendly."
There is a row of ten white stars in the upper right corner of each page introducing the school. He flipped through it and found that there were different numbers of black stars among the ten stars on the pages of different schools. This is the comprehensive evaluation of the school by the intermediary agency.
For example, on the first page, there is a totem school called Tim College, which is rated three and a half stars out of ten stars, that is, three black stars plus one star that is half white and half black.
This score is undoubtedly not high among the ten stars. He turned over without even reading the school introduction.
However, after flipping through more than ten pages and looking at more than a dozen schools, he was surprised to find that all the schools were not rated high, not even one with five stars. The Tim College just now was relatively high among them.
"Is it based on the standard rating of all the schools in the entire continent?"
If so, this rating is still not very good.
From this, it can be seen that the strength of the totem schools in this area is not very good.
Then he quickly flipped through the booklet and found that, as he guessed, the overall strength of the totem schools in the nearby area was indeed not high. There were only two schools that reached the five-star rating, and none of them were above five stars.
Many of the people who came with him in the hall had already stood up and left, probably because they looked down on the nearby schools, but there were also many who stayed.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time and finally stayed.
Because he suddenly thought that if the school here was not strong, then the next stop would also be by the sea, and the strength of the school would probably not be much different. Under the same circumstances, there would be no point in running over. Moreover,
this was still thinking on the bright side. If the strength of the school in the next area was not as good as here, it would be depressing, and there would be no chance to run back.
In addition, his requirements for the school were not very high, and five stars actually met his requirements.
He opened the booklet again to the two five-star school pages, one was called Shadow Realm and the other was called White Tower, both of which were academic totem organizations.
From the names, we can see the bias of these two totem division organizations. In martial arts terms, Shadow Mirror is an evil sect, and White Tower is an upright sect, so Lin Xiao chose to join Shadow Realm.
Well, he applied to both schools respectively. Which school he would join depends on which school is willing to accept him.
It was his idea which school he wanted to join, but which school he could finally enter depended on which school was willing to accept him. In terms of talent, he was not inferior to anyone, but this situation was never 100% stable. Maybe White Tower only accepts people with certain talents? Who can say for sure about this kind of thing. There are
quite a lot of people who choose Shadow Tower and White Tower. Half of the hundreds of people have taken these two schools into consideration. Whether they can enter is one thing, but they will apply first.
After making a decision, Lin Xiao went back to the ship to say goodbye to Shawni, and then rented a house on the island to live.
Two days later, the nearest school sent people to rush over. A 70-80 meter long metal airship flew from a distance and landed on the island. From a distance, many small holes could be seen on the side of the metal airship, and a row of black gun muzzles were facing the outside.
Lin Xiao went over to watch how these schools recruited new members.
This school is called the Alchemy Tower, a totem school rated three and a half stars, specializing in metal alchemical creations, and this metal gunboat is one of its alchemical creations.
Alchemy is not just about refining potions. The potion alchemist is just one of the schools. There are many other alchemical schools, and metal alchemical creation is one of the many schools.
The assessment standard of the Alchemy Tower is very simple. You are given a very simple alchemical creation, and you are required to disassemble and reassemble it within a limited time to pass. There is no qualification test as imagined.
Then, one school after another sent people to arrive. The Shadow Realm and the White Tower he chose waited for a long time before they finally arrived. I don't know if it was a coincidence that the two schools arrived together and announced an unfriendly news at the same time-anyone who chooses any one of them is not allowed to participate in the assessment of the other school, that is, they must choose one of the two.
Obviously, the two largest schools in the nearby area are hostile to each other, and they are mortal enemies, otherwise there would be no such rule.
Lin Xiao thought about it and chose the White Tower.
It's not because the White Tower is a decent organization. The main reason is that it is introduced in the roster. The White Tower, which is more inclined to the academic school, is better than the Shadow Realm in training apprentices and is more suitable for him.
The corresponding Shadow Mirror has stronger apprentice combat power than the White Tower in the early stage, but this is not a problem for Lin Xiao. Is this what he needs? What he needs is a suitable learning environment.
Unexpectedly, the two sons of the Spirit Realm who survived from his hands before also chose the White Tower. Seeing Lin Xiao in the crowd, their faces changed slightly, but they still calmed down.
The person who came from the White Tower was an old man with white hair and beard wearing a white robe, followed by a dozen white robes wearing the same uniform. The assessment was held in a tower suspended in the air. All those who are interested in the assessment can enter and try.
This tower is a magic weapon. The old man sat by the door with his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes to rest. One by one, the assessors entered the tower and came out in about a minute, with different expressions. Those
who showed a happy expression were naturally successful, and those who looked depressed were naturally failed. It was clear at a glance.
Soon it was Lin Xiao's turn. As soon as he walked to the gate of the tower, the old man who was sitting by the gate with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately felt a real gaze sweeping over him. The old man nodded and showed a kind smile.
Entering the tower, it was pitch black inside. He couldn't see anything at all and could only rely on his senses.
Soon he heard a strange sound coming, which sounded like the messy sound of a radio that couldn't receive a station.
After about ten seconds, the sound stopped, and a voice asked:
"How many sounds did you hear?"
He paused and replied:
"Eight."
"Which direction can you feel the sound coming from? Please point out the direction."
"Above, to the left, and in front."
He pointed out the directions he had just heard.
The tower fell silent, and after more than ten seconds, a voice was heard:
"Spiritual perception aptitude assessment, one star!"
The voice became visibly softer:
"There is a table one step ahead of you, with a crystal ball on it, press it with your hand."
The room was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but Lin Xiao could feel it. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to press the crystal ball, and suddenly a ball of light lit up in front of him like a light bulb.
The room was silent, but he could vaguely sense two surprised eyes.
"Go out and wait outside the door first."
Someone spoke after a long time.
Lin Xiao bowed respectfully in a certain direction and turned to go out. In the dark, he bowed in the direction where two white-robed men looked at each other. One of them said in surprise:
"What a powerful soul."
As soon as he went out, he saw the old man at the door waving at him. He walked over and the old man took out a crystal card with many strange patterns and handed it to him:
"Keep it well, don't lose it."
A white-robed man pointed to the chair behind and asked him to sit down, his eyes full of kindness.
"My qualifications seem to be quite impressive!"
There were several people who also passed the test, but those few did not have such good treatment as him. The old man did not even say a word to them.
But this is a good thing, good qualifications and good treatment, he is not a masochist, how can he refuse better treatment.
Then the test continued, from time to time someone passed the test and came over, occasionally someone could get a card, but theirs was just an ordinary metal card, no one got a crystal card like his.
When the test was over, a total of eight people including him got the card, and more than 20 people passed the test but did not have the card, and were taken into the tower and soared into the sky to leave the island.
It is worth mentioning that one of the two sons of the spirit realm got a metal card, and the other did not get one but passed the test.
This tower is a flying magic weapon, which can fly and has powerful defense. The internal space is also very large. At least Lin Xiao can be assigned an independent small room with a window, through which he can see the blue and the waves thousands of meters below.
The tower crossed the sea and entered a mountain range that stretched for an unknown distance. The mountains were full of lonely peaks and curling smoke. From time to time, some strange birds were seen passing by.
When the tower passed a peak surrounded by fog, suddenly a huge black shadow broke through the fog and rushed out from the bottom of the peak where the smoke was curling. It was a giant snake with a human head and a snake body. Its hair was all silver thin snakes. The giant snake's human face and vertical pupils flashed silver light, and the light waves on the surface of the tower lit up. The dazzling light made it impossible to see anything.
When the light disappeared, he saw a layer of fine lime falling on the surface of the tower.
"Medusa?"
"Human-faced snake demon!"
A voice sounded behind him. He turned around and saw a man in a white robe walking in. He was an apprentice to the totem master of the White Tower, named Hanni. He seemed to want to make friends with Lin Xiao. He stood in front of the window, looking at the human-faced snake that was roaring unwillingly below, and said to him:
"This is a human-faced snake demon, a superior monster. Its petrification talent is very strong. It is one of the totem models available for selection."
"A totem model available for selection?"
"Yes, it is what you call the totem rune framework outside."
"Ah, this."
Lin Xiao was full of surprise. The totem rune framework was not...
Hanni seemed to see the doubts in his heart and explained:
"Because of limited resources outside the main continent, the totem rune models constructed are all standard universal totem rune frameworks without any additional attributes, so the future is also limited. It is different on the main continent. The school has abundant resources and can choose some powerful totem rune models when constructing totem rune models."
"For example, even if I give you this human-faced snake demon totem model, you can't use it, because you can't find another human-faced snake demon outside the main world, and even if you find it, you can't do anything about it."
"Oh!"
Lin Xiao understood. Hanni meant that the basic totem rune framework that must be constructed to become a totem master apprentice is not what he imagined, just using basic totem runes to construct it. In other words, he had chosen the hopeless attributeless universal totem model before, and now that he has joined the school, he must choose this powerful totem model, and the original one will be invalid.
He was somewhat glad that he didn't hastily construct the totem rune framework before he came, otherwise he would be finished.
