By the time Xu Yang and his group arrived at the mountaintop where the gate tower of the Celestial Strategy Academy stood, a massive crowd had already gathered. Long queues snaked across the area as people waited for identity registration, Waist Token distribution, and housing arrangements.
The crowd was split into two lines: one for ordinary students, and the other for the geniuses on the Lingyun List. Carrying their luggage, Xu Yang and Sun Tao quickly joined the back of the Lingyun List queue. Xu Yang noticed a signpost erected beside the line, covered in guidelines for the newly admitted Academy students.
