Chapter 50 Admission (I)
Recently, something terrible happened to Xiaoqing City, one of the eight main cities of the Nether Heaven Domain, a young man who was judged to be a soul devouring body and was destined to be unable to cultivate, miraculously passed the six examinations of the Academy of Learning, and successfully obtained the quota to enter the Academy of Learning. This made the Taoist Academy exam, which was originally rarely talked about, become hot for a while, and many people were wondering if a person who had no cultivation talent could pass the exam, so could he also pass it.
For a while, the entire Nether Heaven Domain set off a frenzy of taking exams. Because most people have the mentality of giving it a try, and they don't have outstanding talent and sufficient preparation, nine out of nine people fail in the first try, and only a handful of people in the eight main cities in the whole region have passed the test of the first three tests, but they also stop at the fourth and fifth tests. But even if such data exists, it still can't stop people from trying their luck, and the teachers who are in charge of the exams of the eight main city Taoist institutes are miserable.
"Teacher, give it another chance, I really came close to passing. A young man shouted at the door of the Awakening Hall. "Get out of here as soon as possible! You didn't even have a 10 percent accuracy in the first theoretical test, and you dare to say that you almost passed? Get out of my sight as soon as possible!" An old man's roar suddenly came from inside the Awakening Hall.
"Squeak" The door of the Awakening Hall opened, and a boy's voice came: "Teacher Dong, what's the matter?
"Who else could there be, it's not you kid! If it weren't for your big mouth, where would I be so busy! Do you know how desperate I am to deal with these swarming hairy boys every day? If there are really one or two talented people, forget it, you have also seen that almost all of the people who come here for assessment are here to try their luck. Just that kid just now, he obviously took the simplest Wen Sigong basic theory test questions, and all the answers he answered were not the right one's lips, and the accuracy rate was not even ten percent, and seventy percent of the tests in the past few days were at this level. It's good that I can maintain the status quo and not be!"
After Chen Yuan passed the assessment, he planned to pack up and return to Linxing Village with his father, and tell Mu Yuanshan and the elders and villagers in the village about this great news. Before leaving, Chen Yuan went to say hello to Xiao Wanqing, after all, he had been taken care of by the City Lord's Mansion in the city for the past few days. After warmly congratulating Chen Yuan on passing the exam, Xiao Wanqing went around to publicize that she had a friend with a soul-devouring physique who passed the Taoist exam, which was known as the devil's assessment. That's it, one to ten, ten to hundred. In just two days, the entire Nether Heaven Domain was in full swing with a craze for Daoist Academy exams.
In the past two days, Dong Yu was very busy, and it was the first time he saw the scene of the exam table arranged in the Awakening Hall being filled, and it was also the first time he saw so many strange test answers. Originally, as the invigilator of the Taoist Academy exam, these days were the most leisurely times, but when the high-level assigned him as the invigilator of this Weiqing City, Dong Yu was secretly happy, feeling that he could finally rest for a few days, and he didn't have to be as tired as a normal substitute every day. Who would have thought, after being in charge of Chen Yuan's little monster's exam, in just one day, the Awakening Hall was full of people who came to sign up.
"I didn't do it, I would have gone back to the village a long time ago, our Linxing Village is so remote, there is no news that can't be spread, and I told Wanqing alone about the news in Xiaoqing City. Chen Yuan hurriedly explained, directly pushing the responsibility away. "Mu Chenyuan, you dare to betray Miss Ben, I'm not done with you!" The two people who entered the Awakening Hall were not Chen Yuan and Xiao Wanqing, in the face of Chen Yuan's merciless betrayal, Xiao Wanqing was pounced on Chen Yuan with her teeth and claws, trying to retaliate.
"Okay, are you two ready?" the old man rolled his eyes, he couldn't afford to provoke any of these two little ancestors, one was the granddaughter of the city lord, and she had broken through the attribute cliff herself, and she didn't have the talent. One is a genius with a demonic talent in military affairs, and he is a treasure when he enters the Taoist Academy, what can he say as a Dangong teacher?
"Hehe, don't be angry, Teacher Dong, this is not the first time I have met someone who has really passed the exam and entered the Taoist Academy, and it is my friend, I am a little excited, you can bear with the inconvenience caused to you. Besides, you are such an amiable, broad-minded and upright teacher, you must be reluctant to punish us two children for these trivial matters, right?" Xiao Wanqing rushed to Dong Yu's side after ravaging Chen Yuan's face fiercely, pulled Dong Yu's sleeve, and said with big eyes flashing and flickering.
The corners of Dong Yu's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly in his heart: Are all children nowadays so shrewd? First put on a high hat for yourself, and then use the innate advantages of children, so that you can't say anything negative at all. However, Dong Yu didn't plan to care about anything, but waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he would not make any punishment.
After another quarter of an hour, another boy and a girl came to the Hall of Awakening. The boy is the young master of the noble royal family in the city, Wang Feng, wind attribute, and fifth-level brightness. The girl is from the Zhai family, a larger family in the Acropolis, called Zhai Ruohan, water attribute, sixth-level brightness. These two children, plus Xiao Wanqing, are the three people who have won the three guaranteed places in Xiaoqing City this year, and with the addition of Chen Yuan, a freak who passed the exam, the students who have been selected into the Taoist Academy by Xiaoqingcheng this year are already all together.
"Let's go. The old man took his four children and went out of the city. Raising his hand to release a flare, a huge griffon flew from the distant sky. "This is my mount, the Golden-backed Griffin, which I asked the people of the Beast Palace to help me tame. Let's take it to the center of the Nether Heaven Domain, which is also the capital of the Nether Sky Domain, the Nethersky City. The old man touched the griffin's head and beckoned Chen Yuan and the four of them to go up to the griffin's back.
This griffin is eight meters long and has more than enough space on its wide back for an adult and four children. After everyone was seated, the griffin's wings shook, and it soared into the air and flew in the direction of Youtian City.
Among the eight main cities of the Nethersky Domain, except for the Nethersky City, which is located at the center of the whole region, the other seven main cities are actually divided in a circle in the seven directions of the Nethersky City. Among them, Xiaoqing City is the main city closest to the forbidden land Star Lake. In other words, the distance between these seven main cities and Youtian City is about the same. This arrangement is to facilitate the relatively rapid support of the Seven Great Cities in the surrounding areas when the seven main cities around are invaded. After all, Youtian is the capital, and its strength in terms of military and cultivator strength is not comparable to other main cities.
But even if the distance is not far, it is relative to some highly mobile troops and high-realm cultivators. Along the way, even the people took two days to reach Youtian City. Originally, Dong Yu alone relied on his cultivation to let the griffin use all his strength, and he could arrive in half a day, but these four children were still young and their cultivation was low, so they couldn't withstand the wind pressure generated when the griffin flew at full speed, so the speed slowed down.
