"Knock! knock!"

The loud drums seemed to come from a distant heaven and earth, resounding throughout the square.

In the square, whether walking, communicating with others, or sitting on chairs with their eyes closed and resting, they all raised their heads to find the source of the drums.

"Look at the head!"

I don't know who shouted in the audience, everyone looked up, and a giant drum floating in the air came into view.

The shape of this drum is extremely peculiar, with black and red as the main colors of the drum, and at the same time, the top of the drum is decorated with a huge black hilt, which is almost like a giant sword straight into the drum, leaving the hilt outside, which is shocking.

"This, this is ...... One hundred and eight town sword drums of the Northern Seminary!"

"Yes, yes, I've seen it in books!"

"Great! I didn't expect to see such a weapon with my own eyes. ”

Some of the people who recognized the origin of the drum exclaimed loudly, revealing their excited faces.

"One hundred and eight town sword drums, known as one of the six legendary weapons of the Northern Seminary, the king and other weapons. Hearing the shouts around him, Chen Mo raised his head and stared at the giant drum and said.

Weapons are powerful weapons that can only be used by those who have opened the ancient spirits. Every weapon must be made by a special ancient craftsman and a special forging method, and like martial arts, human countries have also divided the quality of weapons into seven grades: six, five, four, three (king), two (emperor), one (emperor), and god.

The drum that appeared in the sky above the square belonged to one of the one hundred and eight sword drums of the third-class battle, but the sword and drum of the town alone was only a fourth-class warweapon, and only when the one hundred and eight sides were gathered together could the strength of the king-class warweapon be brought into play.

"Is the Northern Seminary showing its strength to the outside world? even if it's just a sword and drum, it's enough to deter other academies in the Northern Regions. ”

Some candidates who have studied the current affairs of the Northern Regions expressed their opinions. After all, the territory of the Northern Region is vast, and how can there be fewer Lingjie cultivation colleges that want to compete with the Northern Seminary.

"Everyone!

At this time, a tall and strong figure appeared beside Zhen Jiangu, and the sound of a very majestic sound that was no less than the sound of a drum spread throughout the square.

The originally noisy square fell silent, and everyone looked up at the middle-aged man flying in the sky.

"Today, it is the preliminary examination of the young generation of Beijuncheng by the Northern Seminary, and the contempt is Jiang Yan, the tutor of the Northern Seminary, and the general person in charge of the preliminary examination of Beijuncheng. ”

Jiang Yan glanced at the people in the square and said: "Today's preliminary examination is divided into two items, the first one is very simple, it is the basic test of strength, and all candidates who are below the four understandings of the human spirit will not be admitted." ”

As soon as the rules came out, they immediately stunned all the candidates present who were full of expectations, such an age and a person with the strength of the four understandings of the human soul can only be worthy of entering the second exam, the admission requirements of the Northern Seminary can be called harsh, but it is no wonder that people can always maintain their prosperity.

"Now everyone goes to the front inspection area, and the stone plaque will automatically record the results. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yan disappeared from the sky.

"It's too cheating, I have to solve the four problems of the human spirit, then I don't have a chance. ”

"yes, that's too demanding!"

Some people who already knew their strength bowed their heads in frustration.

There are also some candidates who just meet the standard who breathe a sigh of relief and go to the test in a good mood.

Of course, for Chen Mo, who has the strength of the Six Interpretations of Human Spirits, this first item is no longer a problem. But he didn't want to squeeze around with others, so he deliberately dragged it behind.

Then, under the surprised gaze of the inspector, Chen Mo easily passed the first assessment and came to the designated place for the second assessment.

So many fewer people?

When he arrived here, Chen Mo looked at the number of people around him and thought secretly.

The assessment location of the second item is still in a square, but this square is a little different, and there is a huge entrance on the ground in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and north.

The pace of the preliminary examination was very fast, and when the last candidate who passed the examination entered the second square, Jiang Yan, who was as strong as a bear, appeared again, floating in the air and looking down on everyone.

"Congratulations on passing the first assessment, but don't be too happy, there are still six hundred and fifty-three people left in the field statistics, what you have to do is to stand out from these six hundred and fifty-three people and become the 100 people who have entered the Northern Qi Capital!"

"Now there are four entrances in the square where you are, and everyone can choose any entrance to enter, and the first hundred people who reach the exit first are the winners of this preliminary examination. At the same time, if you encounter danger inside, the stone tablets in your hands will automatically teleport you back here, but at the same time you lose the opportunity. Jiang Yan explained.

"Now, the assessment begins!"

Jiang Yan waved his hand, and the candidates who were about to move in the field immediately dispersed, rushing towards the entrance.

At the west entrance, a leading candidate with a big back saw that someone around him wanted to surpass him, and directly punched the person in the back.

When such a thing happened, Jiang Yan in the sky did not react at all. The big back head was overjoyed in his heart, and overturned a person next to him.

Seeing this, everyone understood that such a battle was allowed, and they had no scruples, and in an instant, the battle broke out, and everyone was fighting for the position in front.

Since Chen Mo entered the square at the end, he was very close to the south entrance near the gate, but the distance of more than ten meters was only one step away for him.

Therefore, at the beginning of the assessment, he stepped on the floor with one foot, and entered the south entrance first ahead of a large number of people, and then with his own strength, others couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

Hearing the sound of the battle behind him, Chen Mo guessed that some people couldn't hold back their shots, and he ran quickly while being alert to the situation around him.

"Authentic, authentic again. ”

Entering here, it was dark and autumnal, and Chen Mo couldn't help but think of yesterday's events.

Let's just treat yesterday as a drill and adapt to the environment in advance. Chen Mo quipped inwardly.

Soon, Chen Mo, who was ahead of the others to explore, was about to start making the first choice, and in front of his eyes, five passages appeared. Each of these passages has words written on it: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth? It seems that we are going to choose one of them. ”

Chen Mo stood in front of the fork in the road and thought for a while. Finally, he looked up at the passage with the word water written on it and walked in.

Because when he was a child, Chen Kezheng taught him that being a man should be like water, a trickle when warm, a big wave when angry, and a drop of water when weak, and cultivate perseverance.

Exit from the tunnel, on the fourth floor of the attic.

"Tutor Jiang, I heard that this preliminary examination of the Northern Seminary is unified across the whole domain, and there is no longer a distinction between strong and weak, is it true?" Gou Yuanqing sat on the chair and asked in a low voice to Jiang Yan in front of him.

"Hmm. Jiang Yan nodded.

"But wouldn't this be unfair to some cities, after all, ......" Gou Yuanqing came from a relatively weak city in the Northern Regions, and he felt a little uneven in his heart.

"Are you questioning the injustice of the academy?" Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.

"I don't dare. Gou Yuanqing lowered his head in fright.

Tong Tianwei on the side saw Gou Yuanqing's cowardice, thinking that he might be criticized later, so she couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh secretly.

In fact, this is also a measure of the reform of the college. Jiang Yan, as the mentor of the two, naturally understands the personality of his students, so this little thing will be criticized but not too much, he explained, "For hundreds of years, the college has always taken fairness as the purpose of admitting students, but because the strength of each city is different, it also sets up a division of strength and weakness when setting up the preliminary examination. ”

"But because of this, the same batch of freshmen after entering the North Seminary is very polarized, which not only compresses the strength of the school, but also wastes a lot of resources of the college. Therefore, in this preliminary examination reform, the college has changed the previous model, and would rather have fewer high-quality talents than people who are indiscriminate!"

"Only in this way can the Northern Seminary be qualified to develop into a stronger trend!" Jiang Yan slapped the table and looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

Back inside the tunnels.

After entering the water gate, Chen Mo changed his previous speed and chose to move forward at a constant speed to explore. Until he came to a hole, he stopped.

Because there is no road ahead, only a huge lake full of caves.

"How can there be a lake underground? It was dug out by hand?" Chen Mo walked to the edge of the lake, and layers of white mist floated above the lake.

Chen Mo looked curious, and slowly stretched out his hand to touch the white mist, but immediately withdrew it, looking at the fingers on his hand that were blue from the cold, his face was ugly.

"Just touch the fog on it, and that's it, how cold the water must be. Facing the calm lake in front of him, Chen Mo had to be forced to stop here.

But why didn't it freeze?" Chen Mo thought. It's a pity that he is not in the Earth Spirit Realm, otherwise he would have flown over.

Although Chen Mo stopped at the moment, it didn't mean that the people behind him wouldn't come up.

"Da Da Da"

A tall figure wearing a peaked cap appeared at the entrance of the cave, and when he saw the lake, the man stopped and was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Chen Mo not far away, the man immediately made an attacking posture.

"There's no need, I haven't figured out how to get over yet. Chen Mo looked up at the man and said flatly.

After listening to Chen Mo's words, the man was silent for a while, and then walked to the other side of Chen Mo, observed the lake, and also noticed the strangeness of the lake.

Chen Mo glanced at the man and continued to ponder.

Perhaps, it's just a superficial coldness?

But the problem is that there are no objects to try now, and if it goes down to the bottom to get more ice, it will be over, and it will be just a popsicle and go back.

At the same time, more and more people also came here, but when they saw that the people around them were gathered around the lake, they didn't make a move.
