Ying Hui, however, didn't pay attention to everyone's amazement and simply said, "Meng Ruocun has already gone to Central City as a trainee and won't return until half a year later. At that time, she will join us in the Four Schools Exchange Competition.
During her absence, everyone will move up one place in the rankings."
Upon hearing this, the crowd became even more astonished, and the discussions among them grew fervent, their faces showing envy towards Meng Ruocun.
After all, Central City is the metropolis where the celestial immortals of Heaven currently reside, representing the strongest force on the human side, with the most numerous and most powerful cultivators.
Though there is no Dao School there, the city does have the Heavenly Academy.
Every year, they select cultivators from all places and levels and impart Daoist teachings to them, focusing on intensive training.
