Chapter 11 Selection
Dragon Continent 4799 June 11th!
Yushui City, in the Xia family's mansion, on the huge square, gathered thousands of people. Most of these people are the direct and collateral descendants of the Xia family, and a small number of them are representatives of the famous people in Yushui City and the other two big families in Yushui City who are as famous as the Xia family.
Today, it is the Xia family's triennial selection of outstanding children of the family. The triennial selection of outstanding children is very similar to the system of recruiting students in Purple Leaf Academy. Not only the Xia family, but also the other two big families in Yushui City, the Wang family and the Xi family, were also selected as outstanding children in the family in June this year.
The reason why this is so is naturally for the entrance assessment of Purple Leaf Academy. Only the best family members selected within the family can pass the entrance examination of the Purple Leaf Academy.
Purple Leaf Academy is a first-class academy on the Dragon Continent, located in Purple Leaf City, which is one of the fifty-four main cities in the Dragon Continent. The highest authority in Purple Leaf City is the temple, and there is one hall master and twelve hall masters in the temple, and it rules over thirty-three county towns, including Yushui City. There were thirty-three Templar Hall Masters in these thirty-three county towns, but only twelve of them could enter the Purple Leaf City Sanctuary.
Templar Masters who are able to enter the temple naturally have more power, and the county they control is also stronger. And the Templar Hall Master of Jade Water City did not enter the Purple Leaf City Sanctuary.
Purple Leaf Academy is the first-rate academy on the Dragon Continent except for the three super academies, and every three years, how many people want to enter the Purple Leaf Academy to study and cultivate. Because, as long as you enter the Purple Leaf Academy, it means that you will be able to obtain a relatively high social status after graduation in the future. The students recruited by the Purple Leaf Academy have a strict age limit, and only young people between the ages of eight and fifteen are admitted.
The outstanding graduates of the Purple Leaf Academy can directly enter the holy halls of various county towns, and even enter the holy temples of the Purple Leaf City! Who doesn't want such a glory? Of course, the key reason why the Purple Leaf Academy is so famous is its own strength, how many powerhouses who shook the continent came out of the Purple Leaf Academy.
It is said that on the three poles, around the Xia Family Square, there are many people. On the high platform, there were Xia Feilong, the patriarch of the Xia family, and nine high-ranking and powerful elders of the Xia family. Sitting on the guest seats were the celebrities in Yushui City, as well as representatives sent by the other two families, the Xi family and the Wang family.
Although the three major families are fighting openly and secretly because of interests, the sons who select outstanding children in the family will still sit together with Heqi, observe and learn from each other, and at the same time can also understand the strength of the opponent's future generations.
There are only twenty places in Yushui City to participate in the entrance examination of Purple Leaf Academy every three years, and there are only five places for the three major families. The other fifteen places were selected from other family celebrities in Yushui City and dozens of towns under the jurisdiction of Yushui City. The fact that the three families were able to occupy five places was inseparable from their rights in the Templar. The patriarchs of the three major families are all templar deacons!
The three major families naturally hope that their families can get more places among these five places. The more children of the family who enter the Purple Leaf Academy, the brighter the future prospects of this family.
"Knock knock~"
After the three-way drum sounded, the young children of the Xia family's direct line, who participated in the selection from the age of eight to fifteen, walked into the center of the square step by step under the leadership of Xia Guqiu, the deacon of the Xia family. The face of every young child shone with pride. Today is the time for them to prove their strength.
If you can stand out in today's selection, you will definitely soar in the future, and your status in the Xia family will also rise.
As soon as these dozens of young people walked out, the four or thousands of direct and collateral children of the family in the square all raised their arms and shouted. Because, these dozens of young people standing in the center of the square at this time are the hope that the Xia family will continue to be strong in the future.
The focus of the Xia family's cultivation is also the dozens of direct children who are standing in the center of the square at this time.
As long as the Xia family is strong, then even those side children can be glorious. Therefore, the vast majority of the collateral descendants of the Xia family sincerely hope that these direct descendants of the Xia family can lead the Xia family to become stronger in the future.
Of course, the dozens of celebrities of Yushui City and representatives of the other two major families sitting in the guest seats, their thoughts, others do not know. The Wang family and the Xi family definitely don't want the Xia family to have particularly outstanding children.
Xia Guqiu led the children to the center of the square, stopped the children behind him, and then he walked nearly fifty steps towards the high platform alone.
"Xia Guqiu, I have seen the patriarchs, the elders, and the celebrities and celebrities of Yushui City. There are a total of 43 direct children of the Xia family from 8 to 15 years old, and the 42 people who came to participate in the selection today were unable to attend at the end of the summer because of illness. Xia Guqiu bowed deeply to the high platform, said in a solemn and sonorous voice.
"Well, that's good!" Great Elder Xia Lai stood up and waved his hand, then looked at the patriarch and continued, "Patriarch, it's not too early, why don't you start now?"
In the square, there is a huge cobblestone with a groove under the cobblestone. The first thing to be tested in the selection is the internal force, and this cobblestone is used to test the internal force of the cultivator. The cultivator only needs to press his hands on the cobblestone and slowly push forward. The further you go to the back, the stronger the force you need. In other words, the farther the cobblestone can be pushed, the stronger the internal force of the person pushing the stone. In the groove, there is a corresponding grade scale, and according to the position of the cobblestone, it can be clearly known how many martial arts meridians this disciple has opened up now.
"Hmm......" Patriarch Xia Feilong raised his eyes and looked at the more than forty disciples in the center of the square.
"Xia Guqiu!" Just as Xia Feilong was about to nod his head to signal the beginning, the third elder Xia Changhe stood up and shouted angrily.
"What do the three elders command?" Xia Guqiu hugged his fists and looked at Xia Changhe River.
Although Xia Changhe is the third elder of the family, Xia Guqiu does not respect Xia Changhe very much, and it can even be said that he is yang and yin. There are two reasons, first, Xia Changhe's own strength is not strong, because Xia Changhe is mainly from literature rather than martial arts; second, Xia Changhe has always had a close relationship with Xia Yan's father Xia Dongsheng before, and has repeatedly opposed the decision of his father, Great Elder Xia Lai, at the Council of Elders.
In Xia Yan's affairs, Xia Changhe has always taken care of Xia Yan, which made Xia Guqiu a little resentful of the third elder Xia Changhe. In addition, his father is the eldest elder of the family, Xia Lai, and Xia Changhe can't help him.
"There are a total of forty-four direct descendants of the Xia family from eight to fifteen years old, why do you say forty-three?" Xia Changhe asked with a blushing face, pointing at Xia Guqiu.
The representatives of the other two families in the guest seat immediately looked at Xia Guqiu and Xia Changhe with great interest? What is going on? Xia Guqiu is the deacon of the Xia family, and he is responsible for teaching the outstanding junior disciples of the Xia family in the Heavy Land Martial Arts Hall, is this even wrong?
"Third Elder Hui, it is indeed forty-three people, there has never been forty-four people!" Xia Guqiu sneered, his eyes flashed, and he answered.
A wave of anger rose in Xia Changhe's heart, this Xia Guqiu obviously deliberately did not count Xia Yan.
