The people who traveled from the reserve team this time, including Song Qingxiao, were a total of five people.

Several people have heard of the reason for the advance of the private guard exam this time, so most of the time the topic revolves around Song Qingxiao's silver wolf, even if Song Qingxiao doesn't talk much, but the atmosphere is very warm.

The car entered the imperial capital and entered directly from the north gate of the imperial city, and the driver went straight to the direction of the private guard camp after submitting the documents to verify his identity.

After entering the interior of the Imperial City, not only did the monitoring increase, but the number of patrolling guards also began to increase significantly.

Song Qingxiao noticed that within the North Gate Avenue, there was a rotating eye in the sky every twenty meters, and when he looked around, there was another team of armed patrol guards with about a dozen people passing by, preventing the possibility of idle people and other people breaking in.

It wasn't the first time she had entered the Imperial City, but the last time she had narrowly broken into it in a desperate situation, and it was night when she came, and she was in a hurry to flee for her life when she left, so it wasn't clearer than then.

The interior of the imperial city is a little quiet because there are no idlers entering.

However, the strict defense and the private guards who patrolled by from time to time still made Liu Xiao and the others feel the sense of killing, and they felt both nervous and a little excited.

"To the north of the Imperial City are the base camps of the private guards." may be under the depressing atmosphere, in order to break the dullness, Liu Xiao opened his mouth to talk about what he knew:

"Between different battalion levels, there are different levels of training instructors, and some are even seniors who have retired from the research institute, and their strength is amazing."

When Song Qingxiao heard this, her heart moved: "Research Institute? ”

This word was very familiar, and she couldn't help but think of the martial arts research institute that Su Wu had mentioned, and she didn't know if there was any relationship between the two research institutes.

She is not familiar with the private security system of the Shi family, and she only knows about it, and she entered the reserve team to avoid people from the sky, and after joining the team, she was mainly busy improving her strength, and she didn't specifically inquire about these things.

Liu Xiao listened to her and glanced at her, as if he was a little curious that she didn't know about the existence of the research institute, but he didn't ask much, but explained:

"That's the top martial arts academy, and only the top talents, after the martial arts realm reaches a certain level, are qualified to enter there."

If the private security system of the Shi family is a tower, then the existence of the reserve team is like the cornerstone of the bottom, providing the most basic talent selection for the empire, and after screening layer by layer, it will move towards a higher place step by step.

And the Martial Arts Research Institute is like the top of this tower, and the pride of the sky standing on the top of the tower looks down on the people below.

After entering the private guard, the knowledge is more broad-minded than in the reserve period, and as the instructor who teaches is far stronger than the captain of the reserve team, the newcomers who enter the private guard are like a sponge absorbing new things.

Among them, there are people who have performed well, and after a long period of observation and testing, they have shown extraordinary talents, martial arts, or strength to a certain level, and only then have the opportunity to be selected into the Martial Arts Research Institute and become one of the members.

In the Martial Arts Academy, there are countless experiences and valuable knowledge left by the predecessors, and everyone who can enter it is not an ordinary person, and they don't know what kind of situation their strength will reach.

The research institute is one of the dreams of all those who enter the private health system, even Liu Xiao is no exception.

"In the past, Lao Ren inadvertently mentioned that the captain's strength has reached the level of the captain of the combat battalion." His current family headquarters issued a summoning order to transfer him back to the base camp, but for some reason, Cao Zeng stayed in the reserve and did not leave.

When Captain Ren mentioned this matter at that time, Liu Xiao didn't care about it, until yesterday when he saw Cao Zeng and Song Qingxiao let go of his hands and feet when he was fighting, he immediately took Captain Ren's words at that time to heart.

"When the captain was in the base camp, he once challenged a martial madman from a research institute, and he was defeated in less than fifty moves." Liu Xiao Zhengse said, "These people are very strong, very strong, and their physical conditions have broken through the limits of human beings and reached a completely new field. ”

"It is said that ......" he said this, his face showed hesitation, and several other people listened to the question, and when they saw him stop, they all urged him to continue: "It is said that in the research institute, there are also levels, and when you reach the level of a god-level martial artist, you may be arranged by the Shi family again and enter the real center of the Shi family......

What he said should be the part of the strength of the Shi family hidden in the shadows.

Song Qingxiao frowned and pondered, the Shi family is one of the hidden families, like Liu Xiao said in his mouth, the ordinary martial artists of the research institute, if they can break Captain An within fifty moves, at least the cultivation of the peak stage of the lower level of the Enlightenment Realm.

And in the Martial Arts Research Institute, I don't know how far I have to go in order to enter the hidden dark strength center of the Shi family.

However, based on the tone revealed by Liu Xiao, from the existence of the Shi family, we can roughly estimate where the true strength of the other hidden families is.

These hidden families, which have been inherited for many years, are like old trees with deep roots, which are difficult to shake and extremely dangerous.

She thought of the last time she entered the imperial capital, she besieged the three people who besieged her, the beautiful woman and the big man should be a martial artist belonging to the hidden family, at least they had reached the cultivation of the late stage of the Condensing God Realm.

And the three Gu among them have already broken through the shackles of the Condensing Realm, at least they are already powerhouses at the lower level of the Dan Realm.

But when she broke into Shi's house and accidentally heard the conversation between No. 6 and the bright girl, she heard the girl mention that the hidden family is also divided into two parts, light and dark, and people with such strength as Sangu and others are not one of the members of the dark department.

It is conceivable that the strength of the dark members of the Hidden Family may have reached an extremely terrifying stage.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask Su Wu with her divine sense:

"Is this martial arts academy the same as the martial arts academy you mentioned that day?"

Within the sea of knowledge, Su Wu's indifferent voice sounded:

"Dong Shi Xiaofeng!"

Song Qingxiao's heart sank, if the masters of the Martial Arts Research Institute to which the Shi family belonged were not worth mentioning in Su Wu's eyes, then what kind of existence was the Martial Arts Research Institute outside the sky?

"The current ones are just temporarily bothering your eyes." Su Wu seemed to know what she was thinking, and said again: "When you transcend all this, you will find that there is a broader starry sky and heaven and earth ......."

After he said this, he poured cold water on Song Qingxiao again:

"But only if you live to that time."

After saying this, he immediately stopped speaking.

Song Qingxiao smiled bitterly, she was indeed in a lot of trouble now, and even desperately hoped that the trial would come again in order to improve her strength.

Liu Xiao, who was talking on the side, noticed her smile, and thought that what he said made her laugh, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, with questions on his face.

Song Qingxiao shook her head, and Liu Xiao continued to talk to several other people about the research institute, and did not notice her distraction.

As Su Wu said, if the Empire's Martial Arts Research Institute only exists in imitation of the Outer Heaven Martial Arts Research Institute, and the difference in strength between the two research institutes is huge, then what is the level of strength of the people outside the Outer Heavens?

Qianshan, who almost killed himself that day, what kind of realm is the cultivator?

And the existence of the Outer Heaven Martial Arts Research Institute is to fight against the Divine Prison, so what about the Shi family's Martial Arts Research Institute? Is it also one of the products of the confrontation with the Divine Hell?

The artificially created Shi Yue, the Hidden Family, and the Outer Heaven race all have a common goal, but what is the Divine Prison?

These questions were like a tangled mess, and the more she knew, the tighter she became entangled.

After thinking about it, the car finally went deep into the interior of the private guard camp in the imperial city and stopped.

The time for the assessment was approaching, and a temporary office was set up at the post of the private guard camp at this time, and after a few people got off the bus, Liu Xiao received the number plate of the accommodation with his identity certificate and distributed it to Song Qingxiao and others.

For a few people, although they knew that this year's exam was different from previous years, for these reserve team members, the private guard camp to which the imperial city belonged was like a holy place, and several people were excited as soon as they entered.

Everyone came a little late, and many people who were far away from the imperial capital came here nearly half a month in advance, and the dormitory with a quiet location and environment had been selected, leaving a few people in a temporary lounge converted into a practice room, which was full of exam participants who were full of men and women.

When Liu Xiao and the others came in, the others had already divided the corresponding territory with their strength, leaving only some extremely small places.

A young player put aside his things and whispered:

"This year is overcrowded, and we may end up with the final dormitory based on the test results."

Liu Xiao frowned, the competition had begun. Although everyone is not a particular person, they don't want to be eliminated and reduced to being assigned at will.

After arriving at the private guard camp, countless martial artists of the same level in the empire came here, and they didn't have to worry about finding opponents to practice martial arts.

Many people can't wait for tomorrow's official competition, and they can't wait to find out the details of the other participants, so the training grounds and martial arts halls of the major schools in the private guard camp are overcrowded, and they even heard that a captain has come to a school training ground and is instructing these newcomers in martial arts.

Liu Xiao and the others naturally couldn't hold it back, and they wanted to go over on the spot, Song Qingxiao also followed, and a large school training ground was already surrounded by people, and many people from the outer layer wanted to squeeze in, and several small conflicts broke out, and they were noisy.

Relying on his strong body, Liu Xiao and several people worked together to squeeze out a passage and squeezed to the front of the crowd, and sure enough, they saw a big man in the middle of the school training ground competing with a young man.

The big man already had an aura in his gestures, and Cao Zeng's strength was between him, suppressing the young man in front of him to the death, even if this person tried to restrain himself, without making five moves, the young man was still quickly defeated.

As soon as he was defeated, there were new people who went up to challenge, and the onlookers were fascinated, and Song Qing felt bored after watching a few rounds.

Liu Xiao and the others thought it was very interesting, she didn't disturb a few people, and when she withdrew from the crowd, she heard someone on the periphery say in a loud voice:

"Squeeze what?" There was anger in his words, and then an old voice said:

"Young man, don't be so angry."

It seems that because of the crowding, a skirmish may have sparked.

When Song Qingxiao squeezed out, he saw several young men led by a young strong man glaring angrily at a thin old man.

The people around them all followed suit, and when they heard the conflict between the two sides, many people shouted in unison:

"Fight and solve, fight and solve!"

The moment Song Qingxiao's eyes turned over, the old man seemed to sense her aura immediately, and instinctively turned his head, his eyes flashed, and he exuded a powerful momentum that did not match his previous inconspicuous appearance.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful divine sense swept towards Song Qingxiao's body, her eyes opened in the sea of consciousness, and when she was about to react instinctively, Song Qingxiao forcibly suppressed the instinctive counterattack, lowered her shoulders, lowered her head, avoided the old man's sight, and withdrew from the crowd.

This old man has cultivated his divine sense, and with his divine sense and the aura leaking from his body, he has at least reached the cultivation of the peak realm of the middle stage of the condensing realm.

She remembered that in the car of the private guard camp, Liu Xiao had mentioned that a few tutors in the private guard camp were members of the Martial Arts Research Institute, and from the breath of this old man, it was estimated that he was one of the mentors from the Martial Arts Research Institute that Liu Xiao said.

However, Liu Xiao mentioned that although the people who entered the Martial Arts Research Institute were already top talents in the private security system, the purpose of these people was obviously not just to enter the Martial Arts Research Institute, but should ultimately be to work hard to enter the Shijia Center.

But those who can enter the core of the Shi family are all top talents, and on the contrary, the people who fall out are probably all ordinary among the geniuses.

If most of the people in the Martial Arts Research Institute were cultivators of the Condensation Realm, then it could be inferred that the top-tier monks had at least reached the level above the Dan Realm, and might even exceed the Dan Realm!

She walked quickly away from the center of the school training ground about ten meters away, and soon felt that the divine sense had been taken back.

Song Qingxiao's strength was higher than that of this old man, and he should not have noticed anything unusual, so he quickly gave up.

After getting rid of the old man's divine sense, Song Qingxiao thought that Cao Zeng said that someone from the hidden family might appear in this exam, and began to wander around the private guard camp.

Perhaps because of the temporary decision to advance this year's exam, the headquarters was not fully prepared, and there was no time to arrange people to maintain the order, and the entire empire came to the private guard camp to participate in the exam all crowded here, which seemed a bit chaotic.

It is not difficult to find a way here, the dormitory, canteen, practice room and other buildings are distinct, although the place is very large, but it took her less than two hours to almost turn the place where the private guard camp can be turned.

She turned around a huge martial arts hall and walked around the trail at the back, preparing to walk in the direction of the path leading to a huge training ground in front of her, and when she returned to the previous training ground, there were suddenly several footsteps and a strange and gloomy dangerous aura on the right side of the path.

"Please ...... here," a young male voice lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming some big person, and as he spoke, several figures streamed in from the other side of the path.

The person who walked in the front was dressed in black, his breath was gloomy, and he carried a huge iron coffin-like thing about two meters on his back, which was ghostly, and the rich yin qi formed a black mist, shrouding the four sides of the coffin.

The man carrying the coffin was followed by several people, all of whom seemed to be quite afraid of him, and took the initiative to lag behind him by about half a meter.

The yin qi on that person's body is extremely heavy, and the aura leaks out, which is very intimidating.

As soon as he approached, he seemed to sense that there was a living person here, and immediately turned his head.

The man was about forty years old, with a pale face and a daunting look in his eyes.

Almost the moment he turned his head, the few people behind him were also tense, and subconsciously turned their heads to stare in the direction of Song Qingxiao, one of them was a little familiar, separated by a few budding branches, the two looked at each other, the man frowned, and before this person could react, Song Qingxiao immediately lowered his head.

The young man who spoke before noticed Song Qingxiao at the other end of the path, only saw the combat uniform on her body, and recognized that she should be the person from the reserve team who participated in the exam and entered the imperial capital this time, and immediately shouted:

"It's not allowed to wander in here, don't you know?"

Song Qingxiao took advantage of this person's speech and quickly retreated in the direction where he had come.

As soon as she left, the middle-aged man with the coffin on his back squinted his eyes in the direction she had gone, turned his head again, looked at the old man who was frowning before, and asked lightly:

"Jiangqu, do you know?"

The old man first met Song Qingxiao's eyes, although there was only a momentary strange reaction, but it was as if he was captured by the middle-aged man who was carrying the coffin.

The old man was obviously taller and much older than the middle-aged man, but in front of the middle-aged man, he was like a mouse seeing it, and he didn't dare to gasp.

Hearing his question, he immediately bowed his head and said respectfully:

"Second Uncle Hui, it seems to be a little familiar, but I don't know if it's wrong, maybe it's the wrong person."
