Chapter 50: You Must Be First
The newcomer competition is a grand event held every year in Wuling Academy, and the same is true for the other three colleges, which will conduct a competition between newcomers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This newcomer competition is very important, because it is related to your future development prospects! What your status will be in the future and how much resource support you can get will basically depend on this newcomer competition.
As long as you can stand out from it, it means that you have received the attention of the whole academy, and the deans and elders will tilt the cultivation resources of the academy towards you, and you will be able to grow more quickly.
Of course, if you are very talented and the rookie is very prominent, but you do something wrong at some point in the future, the academy may consider depriving you of your resources and re-evaluating you.
After all, what the academy wants to cultivate is to benefit the people and maintain the weak, not the big pests that harm the world.
Liu Yi originally wanted to go to Yu Yueshuang and them, and wanted to report safety, but he didn't expect that there would be a newcomer competition two days later, so it seemed that he had to postpone it.
However, Liu Yi was still a little worried, he was afraid that Yu Yueshuang and they would not know their life and death, and they might make a mistake in the rookie competition, and the rookie competition of several other colleges should also be held in the next few days.
Liu Yi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought that maybe he could go to Wu Zuofan, Wu Zuofan was an elder of Wuling Academy, and he took good care of Liu Yi, and asked him to help Yu Yueshuang and them report their safety.
made up his mind, but he didn't know where to go to find Wu Zuofan, so he gritted his teeth and returned to Ding Xuan's residence.
"Ahem......" The door was open, and Liu Yi saw the two people in the room who were chatting quite energetically, and he coughed twice and knocked on the door.
He Yongjun and Ding Xuan were chatting when they heard a knock on the door and looked out.
"Yo, the pig head three is back." Ding Xuan teased.
"That...... Let me ask something. Liu Yi said calmly.
"Hey, my face is swollen, and my skin is thickening?" Ding Xuan looked at Liu Yi with a smile.
"Where is Elder Wu Zuofan? I'm looking for him. "What is face, and you can't eat it as a meal! Isn't that reasonable? Liu Yi thought very "cheerfully" in his heart.
"It's so thick-skinned! Elder Wu was on the mountain southwest of Wuling Mountain. Ding Xuan finally told Liu Yi where Wu Zuofan was.
The dean and the elders of Wuling Yuan did not live in Wuling Yuan, but lived on Wuling Mountain outside the city, after all, there was a dragon vein there, which was very suitable for monks to live in.
And for them, from Wuling Mountain to Wuling Courtyard, it is just a step away, and they can reach it in an instant, so they don't need to be hospitalized at all.
It was already late, but Liu Yi still felt the night and went out of the city to Wuling Mountain.
Before coming to Wuling Mountain, Liu Yi stopped, he looked at the majestic Wuling Mountain in front of him, to be precise, it was the Wuling Mountain Group, because it surrounded Wuling City, there were many mountains, a total of six.
There is no mountain road on Wuling Mountain that can go up the mountain, and it seems that Liu Yi is going to have a hard time.
In the dense mountain forest, an ape-like figure bounced and leaped on the trees, Liu Yi climbed for a long time before he came to the mountainside, he always felt that this mountain was so high.
And there was a strong field that was pulling down on him, and he had to exert twice as much force every time he bounced than usual.
"This is because of the strong dragon qi here, if ordinary people come here, not only will they not be nourished by the dragon qi, but they will be crushed, so they don't build mountain roads and don't let ordinary people climb them."
A loud voice came down from the mountain, as if to answer the doubts in Liu Yi's heart, and then, Liu Yi's whole body floated up, and after a while, he came to the mountain.
The first thing Liu Yi saw was Wu Zuofan, who was standing in front of a thatched house with his hands on his back, and he shouted respectfully: "Elder Wu." ”
"You're here." Elder Wu nodded, but quickly became suspicious again.
"Huh? Have you completely entered the Spiritual Void Realm? Elder Wu observed that Liu Yi's whole person's momentum was a little different.
"Yes, not long after Elder Wu left." Liu Yi did not hide it.
"Good, good, so good! At the age of sixteen, he was already a cultivator in the Haina Realm, and this talent was already excellent! Elder Wu looked satisfied.
"Elder Wu, I'm here to ask you to do me a small favor." Liu Yi said that he didn't plan to be hypocritical with Wu Zuofan.
"What's the busy?" Elder Wu asked.
"Can you help me contact Xia Yu Yueshuang and them, and report their safety, the newcomer Dabi is about to be, and I don't have time to get out and rush over to tell them in person." Liu Yi said.
"This is a trivial matter, I will go on a trip tomorrow, and by the way, see what the quality of this class of disciples from other academies is. But why report safety? Elder Wu agreed, and then asked puzzled.
"This ......" Liu Yi was just about to start explaining, but was interrupted by Wu Zuofan.
"Come in with me, and we'll sit down and talk." Elder Wu interrupted Liu Yi and asked him to go inside.
"Okay." Liu Yi nodded and followed Wu Zuofan into the thatched house.
The inside of the thatched house is very simple, a bed, a table, a few stools, a teapot, an oil lamp, to the realm of the king, you only need to feed on the essence of heaven and earth, and those coarse grains and grains can already be abandoned.
"Tell me, what's going on on the way here? You parted with them halfway through? Wu Zuofan asked after sitting down.
"That's right, we passed through ...... along the way" Next, Liu Yi concisely told everything that happened on the way.
"Offended the king? Offended the saints? After Wu Zuofan listened, he was also a little stunned.
"This Li Tianba, I have also had some dealings with him, and he is indeed very domineering. As for Bai Jinglong, he has no obvious reputation, and the world's reputation for him is also average, but he didn't expect to be such an unreasonable person. Wu Zuofan said.
"Not really! They provoked me first, and they pressed me step by step, if I hadn't had some ability, I was afraid that I would have died on the road. Liu Yi complained.
"Really?" Wu Zuofan glanced at Liu Yi, and always felt that he was a bad star, and there was something wrong wherever he went, but he didn't just come to the academy, and he made such a big move, which offended Ding Xuan.
"Forget it, the next newcomer Dabi, are you ready?" Wu Zuofan asked instead.
"I don't know what to prepare." Liu Yi shook his head.
"Actually, you don't need to prepare anything, just keep yourself in peak condition." Wu Zuofan said, waving his arm at Liu Yi.
In an instant, all the swelling on Liu Yi's face dissipated, and his whole body was warm, and some of the dark diseases that he accidentally caused during the battle were all cured.
Liu Yi touched his face in surprise, this king's method was really extraordinary, and he hurriedly thanked Wu Zuofan.
"This rookie competition, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for you to win the first place. Among the disciples of this year's class, there were actually seventeen who had reached the Spirit Void Realm! The highest one has even reached the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Spirit Void Realm, which is very rare. I don't know if the quality of the disciples of this class of several other academies is also so high. ”
"So powerful?" Liu Yi was also surprised that there was a guy who had reached the fourth layer of the Spirit Void Realm! Isn't that terrifying with high talent?
"Actually, that's the case, that disciple of the fourth-layer Heavenly Cultivation of the Spirit Void Realm is now twenty-three years old, and in terms of talent, you are still a well-deserved leader. The academy accepts disciples, and all of them are under the age of twenty-five. ”
Wu Zuofan explained that for high-level monks, the difference of seven or eight years old is not much difference in cultivation, but for low-level monks, the difference of one or two years may be a world of difference, so you can see the level of talent from a young man's age and cultivation.
"But you don't have to have too much pressure, the academy is very fair, not only depends on your cultivation, but also on your potential, so it doesn't matter if it's not the first."
Wu Zuofan let Liu Yi relax, don't put too much pressure on himself, just play at the highest level.
Liu Yi nodded, and then wondered if there was something wrong with this.
"Elder Wu, you seem to want me to win the first place?" Liu Yihu looked at Wu Zuofan suspiciously.
"Uh...... This ......" Wu Zuofan blushed and told what happened.
It turned out that there was a gambling contract between the five elders of them, betting on who would win the first place in this newcomer competition, and Wu Zuofan pressed him first.
Liu Yi was speechless, these old and unserious people still bet on this kind of thing.
It's just that what Liu Yi didn't know was that this was not just a gambling contract, but also a prelude to the five elders' choice of apprentices! In disguise, it is equivalent to Wu Zuofan's intention to accept Liu Yi as a closed disciple.
"That junior must do his best to let Elder Wu win this bet!" Liu Yi said a kind word, and then said goodbye and left.
Two days passed in a flash, and the newcomer competition finally kicked off, and all the newcomers gathered at the competition ground first.
Somewhere on the high platform of the martial arts arena, there were four people sitting, and the disciples around them were all respectful to them.
These four people are the first of every class of disciples! Senior sister Ding Xuan, second senior brother Huaizhao, third senior brother Li Heng, and fourth senior brother Gu Pingjiang.
Like Gu Pingjiang, although he is the fourth disciple, the first, second, and third disciples should call him a junior brother, but he is the first person in the fourth disciple, which means that he has infinite potential, so no matter how many times you are a disciple, you must call him the fourth senior brother.
This represents an identity and status!
"Senior sister, are you betting on that little ghost who contradicted you?" Gu Pingjiang, who was the first person in the fourth discipleship, asked.
"I've heard you've been taking good care of him lately, huh? And vacate the boudoir for him to recuperate? You shouldn't be interested in him, right? Huai Zhao teased.
"This kid is a nuisance, but his potential is extraordinary." Ding Xuan said lightly, not angry because of Huaizhao's ridicule.
"That little junior brother is here." Li Heng pointed to Liu Yi who walked into the martial arts arena and said, but as soon as he turned around, he found that Ding Xuan was no longer in his position.
Looking into the arena again, Ding Xuan was already standing in front of Liu Yi.
Liu Yi looked at Ding Xuan who was stopping in front of him, felt a little inexplicable, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”
"You have to be first!" Ding Xuan said slowly but forcefully.
