After all, within Taicang Academy, particularly the inner court of the Heavenly Demon Domain, even someone like Sun Chongqi—who was bullied in daily life—possessed the cultivation of the Tianji Realm. In the outside world, he would have been considered a top-tier talent; otherwise, he would never have made it into the inner court of Taicang Academy. Yet, here in the inner court, with his Tianji Realm strength, Sun Chongqi could only be bullied, looked down upon, and even extorted. When beaten, he could only retreat to his dwelling to recover.
With so many students in the inner court, all of whom possessed immense talent, it was certain that a handful of them would eventually achieve heights comparable to the academy’s teachers, or perhaps even reach the level of Dean Gao. Even if one’s own cultivation were to stall in the future, befriending these inner court students would be entirely beneficial and harmless.
At this moment, after a brief pause, Dean Gao smiled and said, "I have seen the performance of these ten disciples. It was excellent, truly outstanding. Together with the champion of the previous cohort, Su Ming, there are a total of eleven final contestants."
