Chapter 62: Inner Court Selection
"What, you mean to let me join your so-called freshman association?" In the old student dormitory, Gu Heng looked at Roman like a monster and said.
"Yes, senior brother, you heard it right, I just want to invite you to join our freshman association, although Zeng Tai is the president, but the freshman association is actually affiliated with the martial arts gang!" Roman explained.
"Since it's a subordination, then you don't want to set up any freshman associations, you can just join us! Gu Heng patted his chest and said.
"I believe that Senior Brother Gu definitely has this strength, but please forgive us for not being able to join you directly, our president Zeng Tai and Zhou Ling have always had a deep grudge, and all those who want to isolate him through the establishment of the Freshman Association will make him unable to stay in the academy!"
"That's a good idea!" Gu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Zhou Ling's name, and he immediately asked puzzled, "Aren't they both from the Great Liang Dynasty, how much resentment can they have?"
"But in fact, Zeng Tai and I are the best friends now, and you are the person we respect the most, senior brother!" Roman smiled.
"Haha, that's a good point!" Roman's words made Gu Heng's face look happy, and he began to like this bold freshman.
"However, why didn't this Zeng Tai come and tell me in person?, is his president bigger than me, the gang leader?" Gu Heng still said to Roman with a smile, but there was obviously a chill in his eyes.
Feeling Gu Heng's displeasure, Roman felt nervous in the depths of his heart. According to his understanding, although Gu Heng has an unruly personality and has set up a gang privately, his own strength is already good, and he is one of the strongest among the old students, so Roman is naturally unwilling to offend.
"As soon as our freshmen entered the academy, we heard that there are five masters among the old students, and Senior Brother Gu Heng is one of them, so we admire you very much, if my guess is right, the inner courtyard selection competition is about to start, I think Senior Brother you should be fully prepared, right?"
"How do you know about the Inner Courtyard Trials?" Gu Heng's eyes showed a hint of discoloration.
"I also know that there are only four places among the five of you, so one of you will not have a chance with the inner courtyard!" Seeing Gu Heng's surprised look, Roman was even more sure of his guess, and continued to speak.
"Boy, don't beat around the bush for me, just say your purpose!" Gu Heng said with some impatience.
"Senior brother, the champions of the four dynasties have been directly listed as the selection targets for their own disciples, and among them is Zhou Ling!" Roman said sinisterly, "We will help you enter the inner courtyard, senior brother, but you have to help us prevent Zhou Ling from entering the inner courtyard!"
Gu Heng snorted coldly, "Do you suspect that my strength can't get into the top four?"
"Senior brother, the number of personal disciples is extremely rare, I think you should be safe!"
"Why should I believe you?" Gu Heng said in disbelief.
"Even if Zeng Tai is outside the top ten of the Great Liang, he can still enter the Martial Arts Academy!" Roman smiled mysteriously.
In the mentor courtyard, the four mentors sat together, discussing something fiercely, arguing with each other with red faces.
Mentor Mu Ling has always been the most principled, and his emotions are the most excited at the moment.
"Before the selection of new students this year, I strongly objected, don't make easy promises to the dynasties, but you just don't listen, this is good, the inner court selection competition will start immediately, and there are four places again, but the elders are unwilling, how do you say that the elders should choose in front of the new students and the old students?"
"The main problem now is that the decision to recruit the champions of the martial arts examination of the various dynasties as the elders' personal disciples was not discussed with the elders, otherwise it would not be like the current situation, and even our mentor would not dare to present this matter in front of the new students. Mentor Jingyue sighed.
"But at that time, the elders were all in retreat in the Nine Spirit Cave, and we didn't have a chance to report this matter to them!" said Mentor Column.
"Mentor Binglan, what is your opinion?" asked Mentor Jingyue looking at Binglan, who was speechless.
"Bing Lan, don't pretend to be dumb without talking, you were the most active at that time, you should hurry up and think of a trick!" Mu Ling glared at Bing Lan and urged.
Bing Lan sighed and stood up, with his hands behind his back and looking at the direction of the Nine Spirit Cave, in the middle of the mountain stream of Fanjing Mountain, there is a lone peak standing proudly in the clouds, this peak has no grass and trees except for the two Bodhi trees on the top of the mountain that seem to grow hand in hand, the Nine Spirit Cave is between the mountainside of this peak, and only through the Nine Spirit Cave can you reach the golden top of the red cloud that has been hanging for thousands of years.
The elders have lived in seclusion among the mountain streams for a long time, taking advantage of the unique geographical advantages of the Nine Spirit Caves to guard the Red Cloud Golden Dome and guard the Martial Arts Academy.
"I'll explain it clearly to the elders!" Mentor Bing Lan turned around and said, "Fellow tutors, the academy has been established for more than a thousand years, cultivated countless students, and injected fresh blood into the power of protecting the country and protecting the Dharma of various dynasties, but for the academy itself, a few of us have not broken through over the years, and the students who have entered the inner courtyard are only at the level of military generals, have you ever thought about the future of the academy?"
The other three mentors looked at each other after hearing Binglan's words, and they could only shake their heads and sigh.
Bing Lan looked at the silent three people and continued to say solemnly, "The way of cultivating martial arts, the way of martial arts is martial arts! When the ancestor of Hongduan ascended to the top of the realm of martial arts, he predicted that if the Tianyan Continent wanted to multiply and survive peacefully, someone must be able to break through the shackles of martial arts cultivation, and only in this way could the pure qi of the continent be activated, and truly let this continent where martial arts cultivation is respected bring good news to everyone!"
"Since we can't, why don't we be bold and let the freshmen try it!"
"Binglan, we actually know that you have good intentions, but to put the burden on these young people, after all, the risk is still too great!" Mentor Jingyue questioned.
"That's it, since the Inner Court Trials are about to start, we will also give the new students a chance according to our previous promises, and everything depends on their creation!" Column Yu asked for the opinions of several mentors, and could only nod helplessly.
"Elders, I'll do a good job of explaining!" Bing Lan said with a solemn face.
The inner courtyard of the college is about to open, and the freshman champions will participate at the same time!"
On this day, Hyacinth, who claims to be a know-it-all in the college, was running around with a volume of miscellaneous newspapers to tell each other, and the students of various departments were like exploding after hearing about it, and they all rushed to buy it, and Hyacinth also took the opportunity to earn a lot of silver taels.
"What is the Inner Courtyard Trials?" asked Jia Lan who ran over to him with a piece of paper in his hand.
"The Inner Courtyard Selection Contest is to select outstanding students to become the personal disciples of the elders of the academy!" Ye Chaoqun said.
"Does that mean that the previous statement that the champion of the Martial Arts Examination would be directly recruited as an elder's personal disciple will not be fulfilled?" Zhou Ling said with a slight dissatisfaction.
He remembered very well that on the day of the martial arts test, Tutor Binglan promised it in front of all the participating youths!
"I said, no wonder it's been so long since I entered the academy, but the academy never mentioned the matter of the champion of the martial arts examination becoming the disciple of the elder, it turned out to be prepared to be carried out together with the inner courtyard selection competition!" Ye Chaoqun said.
"This is too casual, no matter how powerful Zhou Ling is, if he wants to compete with Senior Brother Mo Qian and them, there is absolutely no hope of winning!" Jia Lan frowned and said.
"Zhou Ling, what do you think?" Ye Chaoqun asked Zhou Ling.
"I'll go ask Senior Brother Mo Qian!"
Mo Qian is the assistant of Mentor Binglan, Mo Qian is basically with Binglan in the Mentor's Academy, and when Zhou Ling came over, he happened to see both of them.
"Did you come to me because you thought the Inner Court Trials were unfair?" asked Bing Lanwang Zhou Ling, who came in a hurry.
"Mentor, I just want to make sure that the freshmen are competing with Senior Brother for the Inner Courtyard disciple spot?" Zhou Ling said, non-committal in his heart.
"The specific assessment method for the new students has not yet been determined, and this tutor will unanimously decide after deliberation!" Bing Lan said.
"Zhou Ling, no matter how you select the inner court disciples, you just need to prepare yourself, and the other mentors have their own arrangements!" Mo Qian gestured to Zhou Ling on the side.
"Actually, I'm not that interested in the inner elder's personal disciples!" Zhou Ling's faint voice surprised both Bing Lan and Mo Qian.
