Only Tang Luo's expression remained calm in the scene, as he had noticed the surprisingly poor quality of independent cultivators since the first enrollment session.
Ningxiang Road's exceptional cases of the tiger and leopard dazzling everyone could only be seen as outliers; the vast majority of independent cultivators, just like those who passed through the Dragon Gate before them, believed themselves ready to challenge higher stages upon reaching the cyan or red levels.

Tang Luo was aware that even if a Five-turn Dragon Gate capable of reflecting spiritual accumulation was set up in front of Unparalleled Academy, it would not dilute the impatience and desire for quick success harbored by the independent cultivators.
