Originally seated on the stage, Shang Lingkong suddenly stood up.

His stern and piercing eyes swept over the disheveled students below as he loudly announced, "Congratulations on passing the first phase of the assessment. Now, you can go back and rest, and prepare well for tomorrow's second phase."

"The second phase of the assessment will determine which Spirit Tamer Academy will take an interest in you."

He glanced over all the students, but his gaze lingered on Ye Ling for a full three seconds before moving on.
