Chapter 35: The Final Candidate
There were still four people left in the field who had not been selected, and Bai Shaoqin and Xu Zhi were walking slowly towards the four of them.
Almost two hours have passed since everyone arrived at the castle tower, and the scorching sun is high at this moment, but fortunately, the four people who have not been selected are still in good health, and although they are sweating profusely, they are still standing tall.
Suddenly, Bai Shaoqin stopped and let Xu Zhi take the first step. Because there is no ability affinity, although he can practice, Bai Shaoqin's way of practicing is a little different from everyone else, and he didn't make a random move at this moment.
Xu Zhi nodded, and then walked towards the four people in front of him again, wearing a black tight-fitting outfit that undoubtedly revealed his figure, and his meticulously combed hair was on his head, which immediately showed his identity as a monk.
"Don't be nervous, just answer the next question. Xu Zhi walked in front of the four of them, folded his hands and walked through a monk's salute.
The four of them returned the salute, and then one of them spoke: "Senior, please ask." ”
"I believe that you all learned about the name of the castle tower after passing through the academy competition, but if you find that the academy teaches something completely different from what you used to learn, and it will change your perception of some things, how will you choose?
Xu Zhi swept the eyes of the four people in front of him, he and Lin Ziyue had talked a lot during this holiday, perhaps because they were both from the eastern region of Mars, and they had their own beliefs, so they had a more far-reaching view of the descendants of the demon beasts among the students.
Hearing Xu Zhi's inquiry, the four of them were stunned, but one of them immediately replied: "Senior, of course, it is subject to what the academy has awarded!"
"What if the academy teaches the wrong thing?" Xu Zhi took a step forward, and at the same time turned his head to look at the four people who had already been selected: "This question is also asked to you."
Silent... The long silence was not broken until a few minutes later by a somewhat flat voice.
"Whether it's old knowledge or new views, it all comes from myself, I have eyes and brains, and I can have my own perception of things. The person who spoke was Yun Shu, after experiencing the association, she no longer believed in all the appearances of the world, except for the few people closest to her, the only thing she would obey was herself.
For Yun Shu's answer, a trace of appreciation flashed in everyone's eyes, and having such an idea would be of great help to accept the identity of the same period and the mentor in the academy in the future.
"Do you have the consciousness that even if there are tens of millions of people, you will never be able to?" Xu Zhi took a step further, at this moment he was only one step away from the four people in front of him, and his gaze was like a torch, so that the four people in front of him did not dare to look directly.
"I... I don't know. One of the four people in front of Xu Zhi lowered his head and shook it, he didn't know what Xu Zhi was referring to, but if he was going to do something that many people said was wrong, he had the courage to argue with one or two people, but if it was a hundred, a thousand, he really didn't know.
...
"I have!" Suddenly, a person pushed aside the other students standing in front of him and walked in front of Xu Zhi: "I have been obedient since I was a child, and the most annoying thing is to stick to the rules, if one thing I think is right, let alone tens of millions of people, even if the whole world is against me, I don't care!" The boy raised his head and looked directly at Xu Zhi's gaze, although he had been eliminated by other seniors before, but he felt that Xu Zhi's words were telling him, yes
There is the consciousness to fight against everyone.
Seeing that none of the four people in front of him came out of the ranks, but instead the freshmen who had been swept by Li Gui but were not selected stood up, Xu Zhi smiled: "What's your name?"
"My name is Ye Xinghe. The boy looked at Xu Zhi, who was half a head taller than him, and his momentum was not weak at all. "I'm from the southern region of Mars, although my ability talent is not strong, but I don't think it should be like this, whether a person can become strong is not determined by talent alone!"
Hearing Ye Xinghe's words, Bai Shaoqin, who was standing in the back, smiled, and seemed to see his own shadow in him: "Very good! Bai Shaoqin took a few steps forward, walked to Xu Zhi's side, and patted Ye Xinghe's shoulder with one hand.
Bai Shaoqin and Xu Zhi glanced at each other, then looked behind them, and saw that everyone else also nodded, and both of them turned around and returned to the team at the school gate.
After a glance at the selection of only five people, it seemed that there was still one short of the six prescribed by the tutor, and the rest seemed to feel that they still had a chance, and they all looked at the seniors in the row in front of them at the moment, hoping that they would give the last place to themselves.
But Lin Ziyue, who spoke immediately, cut off everyone's thoughts: "The admission selection has ended, and the five who can enter the heavenly guard are Zeng Zhen, Zhou Yang, Alyssa, Yun Shu, and Ye Xinghe. Please wait here for a while, and the instructor should be able to arrange for someone to come and take you away soon. ”
The quality of this year's freshmen is not bad, even compared with Lin Ziyue and them, but Yun Shu's talent that everyone didn't expect was unexpectedly good.
In the welfare institute in Beicheng, there is no corresponding ability affinity test for them, Yun Shu actually has two attribute affinities, wind and darkness, and the affinity for the elements is not low.
As he spoke, a few people bowed to the newcomers in front of them, and then prepared to enter the academy with the selected five.
"Senior, I'm not convinced!" suddenly a voice made several people stop.
Lin Ziyue looked back, and it was the boy named Li Jia who spoke.
"Whether it's elemental affinity or ability attributes, I'm a one-in-a-million genius, I gave up the opportunity to enter the four capitals to come to the castle tower and passed the first entrance exam, why was we deprived of the opportunity to enter the school by a word from the senior!" Li Jia gritted his teeth and said.
Hearing his words, everyone in the castle tower frowned, and Li Gui, who was younger than this year's freshmen, suddenly asked, "I remember you said that you have awakened the affinity between the wood and fire lines, right?
Li Jia raised his head proudly: "Although I have only awakened the affinity of the two basic attributes, but the affinity of my two lines is more than seventy-five points, and there is a total elemental affinity of more than one hundred and sixty points, why can't I be considered a genius?"
Hearing Li Jia's words, even among the five people who had passed the second round of screening, everyone except Yun Shu squinted.
Indeed, as he said, the affinity of the two families is more than eighty points each, which can definitely be regarded as a genius, and among the selected people, except for Zhou Yang, the affinity of the other four is worse than him.
"So... How much is it more than eighty points? Can this be called a genius?" Just as everyone was still silent to see how the senior should respond, Li Hui opened his mouth again.
Stretch out your hand, Li Gui pointed
to Lin Ziyue, who had tested Li Jia before: "Brother Ziyue has a total affinity of two hundred elements, and he has one against five in the final of the academy competition, which can be called a genius." ”
Then he turned his finger and pointed to the Xiao family sisters: "Sister Yu Fei, what awakened is the affinity of the two advanced elements of ice and gold, if I remember correctly, the total affinity exceeds one hundred and fifty points, Sister Tu Nan, the affinity of the two elements of fire and thunder, and the affinity of the two elements of fire and thunder also exceeds one hundred and fifty points, they can be said to be geniuses." ”
Li Jia's face suddenly became ugly, but Li Ji didn't mean to stop at all, he pointed at Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu Zhi, the single thunder attribute is awakened, and the affinity is as high as eighty-nine points, Brother Mu Ji's wind element affinity is also more than seventy-five points, and Brother Monette has the affinity of the divine attribute, which is even more than seventy points, and they can also be said to be geniuses." ”
Listening to Li Ji talking about the talent of the same period beside him, Li Jia's face turned pale, although there were still a few people who didn't talk about it, but he had been shocked by the few people mentioned before.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and seeing that the boy who was speaking at the moment was not as tall as himself, and his face was immature, Li Jia seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "Since they are all geniuses, then why can you study in the academy with them? You also have a talent like them?" Li Jia pointed at Li Ji like crazy and asked.
Hearing Li Jia's hysteria, the others shook their heads.
"My total elemental affinity is only a hundred, which is indeed a lot less than them..."Li Ji shook his head, as if he was also sighing at his talent.
Hearing that the total affinity was only a hundred, Li Jia seemed to have found Li Gui's sore spot and was ready to ridicule him again, but before he could speak, he heard a sentence that he would never forget in his life: "But I have only awakened one elemental affinity." ”
As if all his strength had been drained in an instant, Li Jia sat down on the ground: "One hundred points of water elemental affinity...", he kept muttering in his mouth.
"Hahaha!" Li Jia suddenly let out a wild laugh, and then gradually turned into a howl in the wild laughter.
Li Gui glanced at Li Jia, who was out of shape, but he didn't feel too disgusted, just turned around silently, followed the Xiao family sisters and walked towards the academy with five newcomers.
It wasn't until a long time later that the group had disappeared from sight, and a few people outside the school gate realized that they had really lost the election, and then several of them ran like crazy towards the castle tower academy, which was wide open. But in the end, they all found desperately that the gate of the academy in front of them was separated by a transparent invisible position, not to mention a few of them who had not yet formally cultivated, even A-level abilities might not be able to break through this position.
About a few minutes later, an old-fashioned and dilapidated flying car flew into the gate of the castle tower, and several people had no choice but to get into the car and be taken away from the academy by the speeding car that had already set its destination.
As for the five people who were screened out for the second time, they were taken to the school building area by Lin Ziyue and his party, and their reaction was almost the same as when they first entered the castle tower, they were all surprised by the environment in the academy, and after taking a few people to the first-year collective school building full of memories, everyone left, leaving time for them to get to know each other with the second-generation demon beast freshmen who were already waiting in the school building.
I don't know how they will react when they learn the truth one day, but at least the pattern of the castle tower can continue year after year, and there are a few more possibilities for the meaning of the castle tower's existence.
