The scholars of Cyan Lotus Academy always have a unique way of thinking.
For the past few decades, even centuries, the Wuxiang Sword Academy has seemed like a towering mountain, not only making the academy's Sword Cultivators look up in awe but also weighing them down heavily. So much so that by the time of the Sang Sisters' generation, scholars had simply given up on resisting.
Because it's not worthwhile at all. The academy's advantage doesn't lie in battlefield combat but in theoretical research. The primary criteria for recruitment at the academy are high intelligence; everything else is secondary, even if one's Immortal Cultivation aptitude isn't perfect, as long as one can innovate theoretically, the treatment is no different from those Great Cultivators with profound cultivation. Under such a mechanism, how could the academy compete with the Sword Academy, which emphasizes real combat, in the practical battle field?
