Chapter 54: The Horrific Candidate Procession
"It's not dirty!" Yu Chen said as he looked at the clean palm. "What the hell are you looking at?"
"Poof......" Pardo finally laughed! "Ahaha...... You're so cute! You're going to carry it in your arms?" The three of them were also smiling, but considering their identities, they were not laughing.
"Nonsense! If you don't put it in your arms, do you still have to hold it in your mouth?" Yuchen rolled his eyes and said, does he have a space ring to use, of course he put it in his placket, there is a small inner pocket in the placket, which can put some important things, and the inside of the belt can also be used, but Yuchen still feels that it is safer to put it in the placket.
"That...... Uncle Yuchen!You drip your blood onto the Chenxing Order, and he will automatically merge into your body, and when you use it, you only need to move your mind, and he will appear!" Chen Yufeng explained with a smile.
"Damn!" Yu Chen suddenly realized. "So you're all bullying me for being a layman! you're too unsophisticated......" Yuchen finally understood why they were laughing at him!
"I thought you knew how to use Horcruxes! Who knew you didn't!" Pardo laughed.
"Horcrux! What is a Horcrux?"
"Hey, it's time for you to go to school!" said Pardo, shaking his head.
......
Yuchen stayed in Yunbizhuang for a whole day and a night, the two brothers talked a lot, drinking is indispensable, Yuchen's tragic discovery, the laughter of death brought by himself, the senior brother here turned out to be more, after asking, I knew that this laugh of death was brewed by the second apprentice of the senior brother, by the way! I knew what to do with that money! A jar is five thousand amethyst coins! It can be used by ten ordinary families for ten lifetimes!
Yu Chen found that the senior brother was always avoiding the topic of wood carving, and did not mention his feelings, Yu Chen knew that there must be something strange in it, but it was not good to ask too much! The next morning, Yu Chen rode away from Yunbi Village. Back to Mo Zitu Manor, it was naturally indispensable to have a burst of wild talk.
"Are you going to school?" Mo Zitu shouted in surprise when he heard Yu Chen say that he was going to school, he didn't understand, there are such strong masters and senior brothers, and they are much stronger than going to school under casual guidance, what are you doing in the academy, it's a pure waste of time!
"Of course, I'm going to school, Emperor...... Country...... Learn...... Courtyard!hehe! A place where my dreams come true!" Yu Chen smiled expectantly. In fact, Yuchen didn't know that there was another reason why Pardo let Yuchen go to school, that is, because Yuchen knew too few brothers and friends, he would definitely not be able to experience the pain of life and death in the future, which was equivalent to missing an important tempering for the soul of the strong! Imperial Academy was naturally the best place for Yuchen to meet more brothers and cultivate friendship! If Yuchen knew this reason, he didn't know whether he would cry or laugh.
"It's over, it's over, why do you all have a fever!" Mo Zitu shook his head and said bitterly. But he didn't say anything, although he hadn't known Yuchen for a long time, Mo Zitu knew that Yuchen was a person who wouldn't easily change if he made a decision.
Yunbi Village, in the gazebo.
"Yuchen, spend the most memorable time in your life!"
"Ru'er! our little junior brother will grow up, he ...... He will repay the master's kindness for us!" Pardo said wistfully as he looked at the wood carving in his hand, and drank the wine on the stone table.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and this day was the opening day of the college.
Yuchen didn't let Mo Zitu come with him, but rode to the academy alone, and in the past few days, Yuchen has done a very careful understanding of the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy can be said to be the top academic institution in the Purple Sky Empire, and it has the most powerful teaching team in the entire empire, and similarly, it also gathers most of the geniuses from the ninety-nine provinces of the entire empire.
Since its founding, the Imperial Academy has gone through an unknown number of springs, summers, autumns and winters! She has sent batch after batch of talents to the Empire. Suffice it to say, anyone who enters the Imperial Academy will become the future of the Empire.
Yuchen rode a horse and walked slowly, passing by luxury carriages from time to time, most of the people in the carriages were the same as himself, they were all going to the academy to register, these were all holding admission notices, they were either the children of nobles, or the children of eunuchs, or from the wealthy families of giant businessmen, in short, these people could directly enter the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy is also open to the civilian class, but you need to pass an exam to enter the school, and Yuchen's current status is a commoner.
"It must be made of pure gold, right? With such four big characters, I'm afraid that a thousand catties of gold are not enough, right?" Yu Chen looked at the four big characters made of pure gold on the banner above the gate of the academy in surprise, and couldn't help but say in shock.
"Friend, you're here early enough, you're also a freshman who has come to take the exam!" said a dark-skinned boy about the same age as Yuchen, who looked dusty and a little tired, as if he had just traveled a long way.
Yu Chen looked at the young man and said curiously, "How do you know that I am here to take the exam and not directly enrolled?"
"Hehe, hey, I'm alone, and I'm looking at the gold on the gate in a daze, I think I must be from the same folk as me!" the young man smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"You're here to take the exam too?" Yu Chen said curiously. Because the young man's dress is really too different, wearing a short shirt and a short shirt, dark skin, and a simple and honest appearance, to be honest, he looks like a showman.
"Well, my name is Kao, and I'm from Tuk Province! I've been on the road for more than a month, and I've just arrived in the imperial capital today, so I'm glad I caught up! Hehe! What about you?" said the young man with a hearty smile.
Yu Chen nodded, "My name is Chen Yu! from Ulan Province!" Yu Chen said casually, there are ninety-nine provinces in the Purple Sky Empire, and Yu Chen knows no more than ten, and the only ones who know a little are Ulan Province and Korut Province, and he says that his name is Chen Yu, if he says that he is from Korut Province, it is inevitable that many people will not associate themselves with the Chen family in Korut Province. So it can only be said that it is from Ulan Province. Ulan Province, Lin'er's hometown! Lin'er once introduced her hometown to Yuchen, but Yuchen can say something and won't be asked.
"It's still early, the morning is the time for those noble children to sign up, and we won't have to wait until the afternoon for the exam!" Yu Chen said to Kao, who had just met.
Kao nodded, and looked at the more and more people around him: "Chen Yu! I heard that the academy recruits more than 10,000 new students every year, is it true?"
Yu Chen nodded, "I've checked, last year, the academy enrolled a total of more than 13,500 people, of which, the quota sent by each province was 100! Ninety-nine provinces, that is, 9,900 people, and the remaining 4,600 people were mostly the children of noble officials and eunuchs from the imperial capital! They accounted for more than 4,300 people! Less than 300 people were civilian students who were admitted to the Imperial Academy by virtue of their own strength! It is said that the number of civilian students who were referred to last year was as high as 430,000!"
"Oh my God! Forty-three...... 430,000 to get into 300?" shouted Kao in surprise.
"Yes!" Yu Chen said with a wry smile, when he first learned this data, Yu Chen was also taken aback, this is thousands of times more difficult than the legendary university entrance examination in his previous life!
"No matter how hard it is! I'm going to get in, and I'm going to be carrying...... But hope for our whole town!" said Kao, gritting his teeth suddenly, his fighting spirit radiating from his body.
"Hehe! Good job! I wish you success!" Yu Chen said with a smile.
Kao was slightly stunned, and said with a humble smile: "I wish us all success!"
......
The procession behind him became more and more spectacular as time went on, and when it reached five or six hundred people, a man came out of the academy, a man in a cyan armor robe, looking to be in his forties, and combing his hair with a cloud mane.
This person came to Yuchen and glanced at everyone, a trace of disdain flowed from his eyes, and said: "Be quiet! You group will wait with me in the tenth square! That is also where you will take the exam!" This person spoke very arrogantly, because in his eyes, almost all of these people were going to be eliminated! The selection rate of one in a few thousand was too slim!
Yuchen and Kao, along with the five or six hundred people behind them, followed the man in armor into the gate of the academy, then turned to the right, and under the man's leadership, they walked more than three thousand meters before they reached what he called the tenth square.
The entrance to Plaza 10 is marked with two large letters "Number 10". Walking into the gate, everyone saw a huge field with a length and width of 500 meters, Yuchen knew that the reason why this place was called No. 10 Square was because there were still nine places from this number to No. 9, because on the way here, Yuchen clearly saw four other similar squares, and the gates of those four squares were marked No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9. If Yuchen guessed correctly, if you want to walk into the gate and turn left, you should be able to see five squares from No. 1 to No. 5.
At this time, there were already many candidates gathered in the tenth square, and Yuchen knew that they were all candidates from the people.
Two hours later.
Yu Chen turned his head to look at the huge square behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, I'm afraid there are already 50,000 people! Yu Chen knows very well that there are a total of ten civilian student gathering points like this, and if every place is the same as here, then the number of reference students this time will not exceed 500,000.
500,000 candidates! That's 500,000 cultivators! Yu Chen couldn't help but be surprised to think that all the cultivators Yu Chen met from Tainuo Village all the way to the Imperial Capital added up to less than 100 people, but one exam in the Imperial Academy attracted 500,000 cultivators, which had to shock Yu Chen!
