Refining the Heavens 3 (炼天三)
In a world where cultivation determines destiny, the prestigious Saint Cadets Academy is a crucible for rising talents. This year, the second-years face an advancement test that will expose not just their power, but their deepest secrets. From a mysterious student with unimaginable hidden strength to the cutthroat ambitions of noble houses, every choice shapes a path through ancient legends, lurking devils, and the true meaning of power. Will you rise above your peers, or become another casualty in the relentless pursuit of refining the heavens?

The biting wind whipped around the students gathered before Saint Cadets Academy, ushering in another year. For some, the break had been a grind of relentless training, their bodies aching reminders of the pursuit of power. For others, it was a fleeting moment of respite, a last breath before the crucible. But now, all stood united by the looming Advancement Test, a trial designed to measure their mettle, their growth, and the very trajectory of their dreams.

Nervous murmurs rippled through the crowd, especially among those who had indulged in their six-month holiday. The thought of additional classes, of training fields instead of rest, gnawed at their composure. Yet, amidst the anxious throng, the Snowdrifts stood apart, a quiet force, their eyes set not just on the test, but on a future forged in a world far more dangerous than any academy could prepare them for.
