Chapter 21, Entrance Examinations
"I said you kid chose such a broken stone?"
At this time, somewhere on the street, Hua Wuchang said with a dismal face.
Chu Qifan looked embarrassed, and asked expectantly: "Uncle Hua, take a closer look, is this really just an ordinary stone?"
"You can tell at a glance that this thing is from some kind of corner and piece of!" Hua Wuchang shook his head, he didn't know what to say about Chu Qifan, and said in his heart, why don't you get something beneficial to your cultivation from that Guo Hao!
Chu Qifan sensed the stone in the space, his expression was confused, although he didn't know why, but when he searched for Guo Hao's storage ring, he obviously felt that there was a flash of longing in his heart.
"It doesn't seem to be anything special, it doesn't shine, it seems that my intuition is really unreliable!"
After looking at the stone again for a moment, Chu Qifan finally gave up the observation, thinking that he had made a mistake.
"This brother, I don't know if I can delay you for a while?"
Just when he was secretly doubting his life, a man's voice came from his ears, Chu Qifan looked around at the pedestrians in all directions, and his eyes gradually fixed in a certain direction.
"Is that you?"
Looking at the person who came, it was Shen Bailian who had previously breathed him and Guo Hao to fight.
"It's me!" Shen Bailian nodded and said politely: "I forgot to introduce myself before, my name is Shen Bailian, and please tell me your name, so we can make friends!"
"Chu Qifan!"
Although Chu Qifan was curious about this guy's intentions, he saw that the other party had already reported his name and his impression of him was not too bad, and he also truthfully informed the other party of his name.
What an unfamiliar name!
Shen Bailian thought about the moment along the memory in his mind, but did not find a match for him, and then said: "I see that Brother Chu, you are not a procrastinator, so I will go straight to the point!"
"I would like to invite you to represent my Shen family to participate in the entrance examination of Yuehua Academy!"
Shenjia Yuehua University Entrance Exam?
As soon as the former's words came out, three question marks immediately popped up in Chu Qifan's heart, and he responded with a blank face: "I don't really understand what you mean!"
"Huh!"
Shen Bailian's tone froze, he blinked a little suspiciously, and said: "Then Guo Hao can be regarded as a figure among the younger generation of my Biyun City, brother, you can defeat him, and his strength will definitely not be bad, so I want to ask you to participate in the admissions exam on behalf of my Shen family, is there anything difficult to understand about this?"
Chu Qifan touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I mean, I don't know what kind of power the Shen family and Yuehua Academy are!"
He had only been in Biyun City for a few days, and he had heard of very few family forces, and the only Guo family he knew was still his enemy at present.
"Brother Chu, you shouldn't be a local!" Shen Bailian was not a fool, he realized something from the other party's words and asked.
Chu Qifan didn't shy away from it, and nodded very simply: "I've only been here for less than three days in total, and I don't know a lot of things, so please give me a good answer, brother!"
"No problem, then let's talk while walking?" Shen Bailian said, "By the way, I'll take you around this Biyun City!"
......
"There are many families in this Biyun City, among which the four top families of the Sun family, the Shen family, the Li family and the Guo family are the leaders, among which the Sun family is the strongest, and the Guo family is the second.
"The person who had a dispute with you before was the third child of the younger generation of the Guo family, Guo Hao, and I am similar to him, but I am the third child of the younger generation of the Shen family. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Bailian subconsciously glanced at Chu Qifan sideways, and continued to talk eloquently: "Although there is a gap in the power of the four major families, it is actually just a millimeter!"
Chu Qifan didn't have any expression on his face, but he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he could have thought that the Guo family was not small, but he didn't expect that his thoughts were still too conservative, listening to the former's explanation, this Guo family can be described as the existence of this Biyun City.
In this way, Chu Qifan and Shen Bailian walked through the streets of Biyun City, chatting and following the flow, going wherever there were many people.
"You must have heard of the Xingyue Academy!"
Chu Qifan nodded slowly, he may not have heard of other forces, but he could never have heard of this Xingyue Academy, you must know that one of his acquaintances, Fang Xiyue, was not hired by Xingyue Academy?
It was also for this reason that the Xingyue Academy was the place he wanted to go to the most for the time being, and the Xingyue Academy was located in that distant Xingyue City.
Seeing that the other party bowed slightly, Shen Bailian swallowed lightly and continued his narration.
"That Yuehua Academy is a force similar to that of Xingyue Academy, every three years, the Yuehua Academy will send envoys to our Biyun City to hold the entrance exam, and if you pass the exam, then you can naturally become an outer disciple of Yuehua Academy!"
As the discussion deepened, Chu Qifan also knew some of the circumstances of the admissions exam.
According to Shen Bailian's words, there is also a limit to the number of places in this exam, fifty places for each of the four major families, two hundred places for the other families, plus one hundred places for scattered martial artists, a total of five hundred.
And now that the time for the entrance examination is less than a month, when there are more monks and less porridge, these five hundred places have naturally been sold out, and if he wants to take the exam, he will naturally squeeze out a position from the Shen family through Shen Bailian's relationship.
While thinking about it, Chu Qifan raised his eyebrows lightly, puzzled: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly thought of a contradiction, since the goal is to become a disciple of the Yuehua Academy, then wouldn't you ask me to help you cheapen me in vain?"
"After all, I'm not from your Shen family at all!"
He interrupted the former's narration and voiced the doubts in his heart.
"You don't understand!"
Shen Bailian glanced at the pedestrians around him, then sighed and said softly: "This month's Hua Academy's admissions exam is divided into two processes, the first process is field warfare, that is, all the participating martial artists are sent to a fixed field to fight each other, and sixty-four people are selected to advance to the next round. ”
"This means that you can choose to go alone, or you can choose to find someone to form an alliance to help each other and break through the first round together, which means that the martial artists of each family will choose to form an alliance with the outside world for the first time, and the problem will arise!"
"According to the past, with the strength of my Shen family's martial artists, I can advance to the second round safely, but in recent years, the Sun family has produced a Sun Haibin, who has reached the ninefold peak of the Huahai Realm before he is eighteen years old, and the relationship between the Sun family and my Shen family is the worst, with that Sun Haibin's personality, it will definitely be unfavorable to my Shen family's martial artist at that time!"
Shen Bailian's face was serious, and he continued: "But fortunately, the first round is not the so-called one-on-one ring, if there are enough people, then Sun Haibin may not be able to turn the sky upside down!"
"So you mean that I will be a member of your Shen family when the time comes, right?" Chu Qifan understood the meaning of the other party and said.
Shen Bailian nodded, his eyelids sank, and he continued: "But you are only half right, we are not resisting, but defeating them!"
Glancing at Chu Qifan, who didn't know what to say, Shen Bailian suddenly smiled and said, "Do you feel like my thoughts are a little too much?"
Chu Qifan nodded, anyway, as long as he gets the promotion conditions, he can enter the second round in the end, so why run to fight the tiger and take risks?
"Actually, I don't want to do this, but this time the exam is not as good as before, this time the people of the Yuehua Academy actually transplanted a Xuanyu Snow Spirit Ginseng in the trial venue, this thing is very valuable, and it has a wonderful use against the sky for martial arts cultivation, I can't just give it away, and the biggest opponent in it is the Sun family, if you don't defeat them, there is no need to covet this Xuanyu Blood Spirit Ginseng, I want you to help my Shen family snatch it together!"
"There are many people and great strength, as long as the number of ants is enough, they can bite the elephant to death, not to mention that we are not ants, and he Sun Haibin is far from reaching the level that can be compared to an elephant, Brother Chu, you can defeat that Guo Hao, the strength is naturally needless to say, and it is likely to become an unexpected surprise for the other party at that time!"
Shen Bailian finished what he was going to say, then stopped, quietly looking at Chu Qifan, waiting for the latter's choice.
Chu Qifan held his chin and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "Listen to your words, this Yuehua Academy is also a force, if you want to take the exam, there should be some restrictions, such as age, cultivation, and talent!"
"This is naturally there!" Shen Bailian nodded very directly, and said nonchalantly: "As long as you are under the age of nineteen and cultivate to surpass the triple level of the Sea Realm!"
"Then I can only say I'm sorry!" As soon as the words fell, Chu Qifan sighed lightly and said apologetically: "Brother Shen, let me tell you the truth, my current realm is only the peak of the sea realm!"
If he was given four months, he would have a certain degree of certainty to break through to the Triple Realm of the Transformation Sea, but it was less than a month before the time of the exam, and even if he wanted to take the exam, he was afraid that he would not have enough strength to do so!
Hearing Chu Qifan's words, Shen Bailian's face was strange, his eyes were stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, his tone was a little dull, and he asked knowingly: "So, you defeated that Guo Hao with just the cultivation of the Sea Realm?"
He only remembered it now, and he didn't know Chu Qifan's cultivation at all from beginning to end, but seeing that the latter was able to defeat Guo Hao, who was in the fifth level of the Transformation Sea Realm, he thought that his cultivation should also be above the third level of the Transformation Sea Realm!
It was also because of this that he didn't mention the basic requirements for taking the exam to Chu Qifan, because in his opinion, these things were a complete waste of time.
At this time, the street was very lively, pedestrians looked left and right, like chess pieces coming and going on this staggered and horizontal long street, compared with the surrounding atmosphere, the atmosphere between Chu Qifan and the two seemed a little out of place.
"Are you sure you'll be able to break through to the Dual Sea Realm before the exam?"
After a long time, Shen Bailian's eyes lit up and asked softly.
"This is not difficult!" Chu Qifan nodded, you must know that he is now the peak of the first level of the Huahai Realm, and he is only a piece of paper away from the second level of the Huahai Realm, with his great wisdom and understanding, as long as he is willing to spend some time meditating and cultivating, it will naturally not be difficult to break through.
Receiving the other party's affirmative answer, Shen Bailian slammed his palm with his right fist.
"Then I think I have a way for you to break through to the Triple Sea Realm within a month!"
