Elder Lu shook his head slowly and spoke in a measured tone. "Nephew Wang, talents have emerged in large numbers this year. Many cities have dozens of candidates who have reached the Elite realm. As for Fengyue City…"
He paused, clearly displeased. "I am not deliberately belittling your people. The Western Mansion entrance examination is extremely cruel. Even with dozens of Elite candidates, the success rate in each city is less than ten percent. With Fengyue City's current lineup, the prospects are worrying."
The Western Region was vast, divided into five major areas: central, east, west, south, and north. The northern area lay at the very edge of the region, a frontier land where martial cultivation was the weakest.
Fengyue City, Lingyin City, and the other thirty-six cities all belonged to this northern district.
