Five Great Academies were the most prestigious and powerful academies. Thus, many younger generations aimed for entering those five academies. However, the requirements set by the Five Great Academies were extremely harsh. The first condition was that the candidate must have reached the Spiritual Rotation Stage before the age of 18. Furthermore, there was very limited quota given to every lower level academies which caused the candidates had to face bitter competition among themself.
In the previous Five Great Academies’ Entry Competition, the Northern Spiritual Academy was given a quota of only 3 Ordinary-Class Entries. This time, the Academy was given 5 Ordinary-Class Entries and 1 Seeded-Class Entry. However, after seeing the good performance of the students, the representative from Five Great Academies (Mister Hao / Teacher Hao) decided to add 2 more Ordinary-Class Entries for the Northern Spiritual Academy.
The Five Great Academies’ entries were divided into three class entries:
- Ordinary-Class Entry: the lowest class entries.
- Seeded-Class Entry.
- Core -Class Entry: the highest, normally only given to those who were the top performers in the Spiritual Road.
When students joined the Five Great Academies, the Class Entries would determine the status and resources they would obtain.
