Chapter 70: Entrance Examination
Plaza Park.
"Wang Bin, there are a lot of people today, is it because of the entrance examination?" Shen Mu pulled Lin Xue to sit on a stone chair in a park.
Wang Bin, who was sitting opposite, looked left and right, as if he was looking for someone, "Oh, boss, of course it is, once a year in the college entrance examination, if you don't perform well, you still have to stay in the outer courtyard next year." ”
"I've always heard you say that the inner courtyard of the inner courtyard, is the welfare of the inner courtyard very good?" Shen Mu actually didn't know much about the academy, only that it was a place to teach some mainland knowledge and do tasks and exchange martial arts.
"Of course, in fact, after entering the inner courtyard, they can be regarded as official students of Saint Laurent Academy, have you seen those people wearing red courtyard uniforms on the road, those are all students of the inner courtyard, and they usually do some tasks here or go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange martial arts and equipment, and the martial arts and equipment above the martial arts and equipment above the martial arts are not something that our students in the outer courtyard can accumulate enough points by relying on some low-level tasks." Wang Bin happened to see a few small groups in red clothes passing by, and immediately talked to Shen Mu.
"Hehe, you know a lot. But as far as I know, the mid-level spell skills are only a thousand points, so it's not difficult to get together even if you do low-level tasks, right?" Shen Mu asked his doubts.
"Huh, boss, you know this, but haven't you seen the price of a mid-level martial art?"
Shen Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, he had inherited Lin Xue's martial arts steadily, so he didn't know the price of martial arts.
Wang Bin saw Shen Mu scratching his head, and he also knew it in his heart, and said directly. "Intermediate and low-level martial arts all require at least five thousand points, that is still the lowest level, and you also know that there is an upper limit to each martial art that can be learned within a level, martial artists can generally only learn two or three martial arts, while martial artists can learn three or four martial arts, the specific amount that can be learned is determined by their respective talents, and those with good talent can learn four martial arts, no matter who wants to learn the strongest possible martial arts, of course, they are not willing to spend this limit on mid-level and low-level martial arts. ”
Shen Mu was actually the first time he heard that there was an upper limit of learning skills, and he was shocked in his heart, fortunately he didn't learn messy skills, otherwise wouldn't Lin Xue teach him to see but not use it, but he thought of another one, and when he thought of it, he asked: "Wang Bin, do you know how many skills a spirit master can learn?"
Wang Bin smiled, "It's the same with spirit masters, they can learn three or four skills, and if their talent is good enough, they can learn more." ”
Shen Mu thought about the skills he had acquired in his heart, and there were five of them, so he said, "Is it possible to learn five skills?"
"Hehe, boss, don't be kidding, ordinary people can only learn three, and those with outstanding talent can learn four, if you can learn five skills, then this person is a peerless demon who climbs the mountain, at least there has been no one who can learn five skills in the textbook." Wang Bin thought that Shen Mu was just asking casually, so he brushed it over and smiled.
Shen Mu's heart couldn't calm down at all at this time, because he had learned five skills without knowing it, it seemed that he was indeed in something unusual, no wonder he always heard who majored in what department, since there was an upper limit of learning skills, then he would be clear.
"Boss, they're here," Shen Mu beckoned to him as he was thinking.
"Wang Bin, hehe, Brother Shen Mu is also here, hey, this is Miss Xue Ling, right?" a rough voice came.
"Oh, Lin Tian, here you are. Shen Mu also waved his hand.
"Xiao Mu, it seems that what Wang Bin said is right, I knew that you would also come, long time no see!" Su Qianqian was the first to run forward, took Shen Mu's hand, and greeted.
Shen Mu hurriedly got up. "Hehe, shallow, you're so enthusiastic, it's been a long time, it seems that you've been doing well lately, so happy. After speaking, he also looked at Lin Xue, who was sitting and smiling.
"Of course, I have to perform well in this exam, and maybe I will be lucky enough to be favored by a tutor. Su Qianqian also found Lin Xue on the side, Lin Xue was wearing a mask, and it was really difficult to recognize it all of a sudden.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about the old days, let's go to the martial arts arena, it's almost half an hour to go. Wang Bin took Xiaomei's hand and urged everyone.
Shen Mu couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw him holding hands for the first time, "Wang Bin, what's the matter? You caught up with Xiaomei? Also, don't we go to the classroom? Shouldn't we have our own tutor in the outer courtyard?"
"Haha, Xiaomu, I forgot that you don't know yet, Wang Bin, this kid has long taken a fancy to our family Xiaomei, and when he was doing the task last month, he actually made a dark night confession, Xiaomei is thin-skinned, where did she suffer this, and she was chased by Wang Bin all of a sudden. Su Qianqian came to Xiaomei's side and laughed at her.
Wang Bing was also a little embarrassed, although he didn't let go of Xiaomei's hand, his face was red, "Boss, it's not easy for you to see me, and I can't bear to watch you show affection every day." Oh, our tutors in the outer courtyard don't care about us, we need to sign up for the competition ourselves. Wang Bin immediately changed the topic after a little explanation.
Shen Mu nodded slightly, pulled up Lin Xue, who was seated, and was ready to set off with everyone, Lin Tian seemed to have been the captain of everyone, at this time, Lin Tian saw that everyone was ready, waved his hand to say hello, and motioned to follow him.
"Xiaomu, this inner courtyard is so mysterious, it's a pity that I don't have a student card, otherwise I would like to participate in the competition. Lin Xue whispered in Shen Mu's ear.
Shen Mu almost didn't fall, "Captain, I don't think the dean's move can stop you from taking the first place." ”
"Hehe, how can it be, I heard that the current dean of the inner court is just an agent, and the real old dean seems to be more than two hundred years old, and his cultivation is not much worse than that of the Pope. Lin Xue said.
"Really, so the deans of the three major academies are all this kind of person?" Shen Mu was curious.
"It should be, but there are more than three major academies, we have six academies in the Cangnan Continent, and the deans of each student are at least the cultivation of high-level martial arts, but the three major academies are ranked relatively high, so they have obtained more resources, especially the Saint Laurent Academy and Huangqiu Academy are both profound existences. ”
"What do you mean by resources?"
"Yes, do you think that the location of the academy is arbitrary? Legend has it that the Cangnan Continent is surrounded by an enchantment, and the enchantment has six array eyes, and the six academies are all built on it, and the array eyes will gush out a lot of aura at all times, so there is a spirit gathering array in each academy to collect these overflowing aura, oh, it's the cultivation room you said, you need to spend points to get in, you can increase the cultivation speed." ”
Shen Mu didn't seem to understand what Lin Xue said, and nodded perfunctorily. Lin Xue angrily patted Shen Mu, ignored him, and began to look around.
After a while, as more and more people around him, several people also came to the martial arts arena.
"Xiao Mu, look, the place where they fought last time," Lin Xue saw that the martial arts arena was crowded with people, and seemed to be a little excited to describe Shen Mu.
"Yes, yes, good, good," Shen Mu said perfunctorily.
"Let's go there to sign up first, the game will be free to draw lots to arrange the opponents, nine o'clock starts, after the registration, let's gather and wait for the battle row list at half past eight." Lin Tianxian was very familiar with the competition, and introduced it to everyone, "You see, several people on the high platform over there are all mentors of the inner court, and whether we are admitted to the inner court or not depends on them at that time." However, this does not affect the points awarded by the competition ranking. Ha ha. “
"Lin Tian, you are very confident," Su Qianqian patted Lin Tian's shoulder and said with a smile.
"How can I have any confidence, I heard that Xiao Qingyun has reached the martial artist this year, how can I be his opponent, not to mention the unfathomable Brother Shen Mu, hey, I will pray for good luck and a mentor can take a fancy to me, otherwise even if I reach the martial master, I will not have the corresponding martial arts." ”
There were not too many people at the registration office, only a few people were sparsely pulled, and Shen Mu lined up with everyone to sign up.
"Aren't there many people, only more than three hundred people?" Shen Mu sat on Lin Tian on the side of the person waiting for the seat.
"It's really not too much, but these more than 300 people, including the seniors who have not entered the inner courtyard in the past, are inside, and there are more than 100 new students this year. Lin Tian sighed and continued, "Recently, the activities of demon beasts have become more and more tyrannical, I guess you also know, many people have died, and those who can survive are either doing lower-level tasks or people who have been in retreat for a long time. ”
Shen Mu was also stunned, "No wonder the task is so strict with the card, and the mortality rate of the students is very high." ”
"Yes, who can be called a martial artist is not a person with a very high spirit, awakening is difficult, the probability is very low, and after awakening, he is still a person who does nothing, that is simply unacceptable to them, they can stay in the outer courtyard to practice before the age of eighteen, but they have not been able to be promoted to the inner courtyard until they die, and their cultivation path basically stops there, even if Mai Niang reaches the martial artist level, there is no corresponding martial art, and it is not much different from the martial artist Qi City. Lin Tian sighed.
"So many people practice hard and accept challenges, which increases the mortality rate of students?"
Lin Tian didn't say anything after nodding, just closed his eyes and breathed, trying to meet the next game in the best condition.
"Xiao Mu, I want to go for a walk, you won't stop me, right?" Lin Xue was wearing a mask, but she still stared at Shen Mu with her only remaining watery eyes.
Of course, Shen Mu couldn't stand this, but he had already made up Lin Xue's face, so he had to explain not to make too much of a fuss, and let Lin Xue go.
"Xiao Mu, I'm a little nervous, if I don't enter the inner courtyard, won't I be able to touch you in the future?" Su Qianqian saw Lin Xue leaving, and secretly moved over and sat next to Shen Mu and said.
"Shallow, it's okay, I'm not sure I'm selected," Shen Mu comforted with a smile.
"Cut, will it be comforting, you won't say that you will come to see me once in a while?" Su Qianqian was obviously not really nervous, he just came to chat with Shen Mu.
Shen Mu scratched his head and smiled.
There was silence on the waiting side, everyone was nervous, but Shen Mu's side was different, and there was a faint sound of laughter.
