Chapter 31: The Arrival of the City Lord

Two quarters of an hour later, the crowd walked out of the Hall of Awakening. Xiao Wanqing's awakened talent is unsurprisingly the level of the seventh-rank brightness-elemental envoy, and the talent level is as high as sixth. Because it is only a single fire attribute, and no other attribute coexists, it is customary for the talent level to be one level lower than the brightness level of the stone tablet. But a single attribute has the benefit of a single attribute, and that is the cultivation speed.

Because, cultivating a single attribute can completely devote one's energy, and the more attributes there are, the more scattered the energy becomes, and the natural cultivation speed is much slower. Generally speaking, the cultivation speed of cultivating a single attribute will be twice that of cultivating two attributes at the same time under the same talent brightness, four times that of three attributes, and so on. Moreover, there has never been a physique with nine attributes at the same time in the Nine Heavens Domain, and at most there have only been six attribute physiques. Moreover, because of the cultivation speed, most multi-attribute cultivators will choose to major in one attribute element and minor in other attribute elements to ensure their cultivation speed.

Therefore, Xiao Wanqing's talent is rare even in the entire Youtian Domain, let alone in Xiaoqing City. With the support of such a talent, one of the three escort places owned by Xiaoqing City can be expected to be taken away by Xiao Wanqing.

"Qing'er. Xiao Wanqing and Chen Yuan had just walked out of the door of the Awakening Hall when a tall old man called out with a smile on his face. "Grandpa!" Xiao Wanqing ran over happily when she saw the old man and threw herself into the old man's arms. And Yang Xuan knelt down on one knee, made a subordinate etiquette, and said respectfully: "City Lord, why are you here." ”

At this time, Chen Yuan also remembered this old man, it was Xiao Lie, the lord of Xiaoqing City who stood on the high platform and spoke before the awakening ceremony began. It's just that now Xiao Lie changed out of the very formal red robe and replaced it with an ordinary cloth robe. Without the majestic momentum of speech, in front of his granddaughter, he is not like the lord of a city on top, but more like a kind elder.

Xiao Lie waved his hand, made Yang Xuan stand up, and said, "My precious granddaughter's awakening ceremony, how can I not come?" It's just that the awakening ceremony can't be stimulated by people who have too strong attribute aura on their bodies, otherwise it will block the correct perception of the stone tablet. So I had to wait for you outside, and I didn't go in. The first half of the sentence is to answer Yang Xuan's question, and the second half of the sentence is obviously explaining to Xiao Wanqing why she didn't go in.

"Qing'er, don't you want to introduce me?" Xiao Lie smiled and said to Xiao Wanqing. "This is my new friend today, the one I mentioned to you this afternoon, his name is Mu Chenyuan, and the girl is his cousin, called Bai Geng. Xiao Wanqing heard Xiao Lie's words, got up from Xiao Lie's arms, and introduced Xiao Lie.

"I heard that you are from Linxing Village?" Xiao Lie asked Chen Yuan. "Yes, Lord Castle, we rushed from the village to the city to participate in the Awakening Ritual. Chen Yuan said after saluting Xiao Lie. "I heard Qing'er say everything about you, you have to take the Taoist Academy exam that no one has passed for many years, and you have to apply for the military palace that is extremely difficult, how can you be sure?" Xiao Lie looked at the young man in front of him, although he had an outstanding temperament, he couldn't see anything special, he couldn't figure out where this young man got the courage to apply for the military palace.

"Returning to the city lord, I have just learned that the contents of the six tests of the military palace are analysis of combat examples, coordination of arms, tactical guidance, actual combat drills, latent infiltration, and war history. I don't know much about the history of war, but I have confidence in the other five!" Speaking of these, Chen Yuan exuded a strong sense of confidence, after all, he has been in the military for nearly twenty years, he is full of confidence, but the war history of this world is really a shortcoming, except for today, there are still six days before the time of the Daoist Academy exam, Chen Yuan is planning to make up for this knowledge.

Seeing Chen Yuan's confidence from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Lie couldn't help but think a little higher about this young man, not discouraged by his poor physique, brave to challenge, and full of confidence, this is the most lacking quality of young people now. Good appearance, heart, and character, if you can really pass the Daoist Academy exam, plus you can promote the evolution of the spirit bead in your granddaughter's body, you can consider being Qing'er in the future······ Xiao Lie's eyes rolled, and he made his own little abacus in his heart.

"You are Qing'er's friend, so you don't need to call me the city lord, call me Grandpa Xiao. I love studying history, so if you have time, you can check out my library, and maybe it will help you. Saying that, Xiao Lie turned over his hand and took out a delicate token and handed it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was overjoyed, he was worried about where to go to learn about the history of this world, Xiao Lie asked him to go to his library to watch, this is really sleepy someone sent a pillow. With Chen Yuan's current spiritual power, what he can write down in six days is twice as much as before. In the past, it took him a month to memorize more than 1,000 treasures in Kunlun, and these six days were enough for him to memorize many things. "Thank you to the city lord for your kindness, Chen Yuan is grateful. Chen Yuan made a big bow to Xiao Lie and took the token.

"Still called the city lord?" Xiao Lie said unhappily. "Uh, Grandpa Xiao," Chen Yuan said awkwardly, scratching his head. "It's pretty much the same, you work hard to get into the academy with Qing'er. Xiao Lie looked at Chen Yuan and said with satisfaction. "Yes. Although he always felt that Xiao Lie's gaze was a bit like his grandfather looking at his grandson-in-law, Chen Yuan still agreed stubbornly.

Six days later, there were no more people in the originally crowded square, and at the familiar door of the Awakening Palace, Chen Yuan exhaled softly, nodded to Xiao Wanqing, Yang Xuan, and his father Mu Qingfeng, who came with him, and pushed the door into the main hall.

The Talent Awakening Test Ceremony lasts for a total of seven days, and after seven days, it is the time for enrollment in the Daoist Academy, and the registration lasts for a total of three days. As early as three days ago, Mu Qingyun took other people back to the village, and transferred so many young people at once, after a long time, the production and life in the village would be affected, so Mu Qingfeng asked his eldest brother Qingyun to go back with everyone else, and he stayed to accompany his son to take the exam.

The location of the Taoist Academy exam was also told by the old man who presided over the awakening ceremony, and after Chen Yuan entered the main hall, he saw the old man in the center of the hall. The nine stone tablets placed in the hall are gone, and it is thought that they have been transported to the location of the Nine Heavens Tablet body in various regions to replenish their energy. There are eight rows of tables and chairs in the main hall, plus the position of the examiner, a total of sixty-five seats, but in the entire hall, there are only two people, Chen Yuan and the old man, which looks empty and a little desolate, but this also reflects the difficulty of the Taoist exam.

Everyone in the Taoist Academy yearns for it, and it can be seen from the fierce competition for guaranteed places, but as a channel that can also enter the Taoist Academy, no one in this Taoist Academy admissions examination except Chen Yuan came to the examination room to register.

Seeing Chen Yuan's arrival, the old man nodded with a smile, and then asked Chen Yuan to sit down in the first row and started the registration process. "Name", "Mu Chenyuan", "Age", "Twelve years old", "Place of birth", "Linxing Village under the jurisdiction of Yutian Domain", "Name of the School Palace", "Military Palace", ······

After a conversation, the old man recorded all the identity information of Chen Yuan, and then, out of nowhere, he took out a stack of test papers like a trick, put them on Chen Yuan's table, and said to Chen Yuan: "Okay, start the exam now, the time is one hour, subject to the hourglass, the hourglass is finished, stop answering the paper." As he spoke, he pulled out an arm-long hourglass and began the timer.
