Volume 1 The First Entry into the Martial Arts Chapter 14 The Academy Test

In the southeast corner of Arabuchi Castle, there is a rugged mountain area called Nansan.

On the South Mountain, there are many buildings scattered high and low, pavilions and small thanks, Biwa Zhuyong, Feige Liudan, carved beams and embroidered columns, beautiful!

At the top of these buildings, an octagonal pagoda with cornices rises, like an emperor, and is worshipped by the buildings below. Next to it, there is a clear lake, which is zigzag through the middle of the complex along the river that it has washed out.

At the bottom of this hillside building is a huge plaza called Nanshan Square, the main entrance to this paradise is located on top of Nanshan Square.

Here, it is the branch of Wuxuanyuan, which is known as the first college of the Great Han Kingdom-Wuxuanyuan in Lanfeng City!

Today is the day of Wuxuanyuan's new recruitment in spring, different from the deserted in the past, the current Nanshan Square has long been crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, presenting a lively and extraordinary scene!

And in the midst of this dense crowd, Mu Weibai and Shen Zhijun were looking at the beautiful and magnificent Wuxuan Courtyard in the distance with amazement on their faces.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's so spectacular, it's so meaningful!" Mu Weibai shouted with surprise with wide eyes.

Shen Sleevejun also exclaimed on the side: "It is indeed spectacular, very beautiful, it really deserves to be the first academy of the Great Han Kingdom!"

After all, Shen Zhijun had seen more of the world than Mu Weibai, and after being surprised for a while, he had already calmed down. Seeing this, Shen Sleeve Jun immediately knocked on his head and reprimanded: "Don't look at it, there will be time to watch it in the future, it's time to sign up now!" After that, Shen Sleeve Jun walked briskly towards the registration point in the center of the square, and after Mu Sleeve came back to his senses, he hurriedly chased after him.

After the two walked to the left side of the square, they chose a relatively small number of registration points to line up!

After a while, it was Shen Sleeve's turn.

As soon as he walked to the table, the deacon of Wuxuanyuan, who was sitting behind the table, said indifferently: "Do you know the registration conditions of the academy?

After hearing the deacon's words, Shen Zhijun immediately urged the mysterious power in his body.

"Huh, the power of the four stages?" After the deacon was surprised, his originally serious face was suddenly filled with a smile, and he praised: "Good seedling, you stretch out your arm, I want to look at your bone age to make sure you have just reached the age of sixteen!"

Shen Zhijun stretched out his arm again.

After the deacon of Wuxuanyuan put his hand on Shen Sleevejun's arm, he raised it in the blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "Well, yes! You passed! Wait in place in the square, the second round of selection will start this afternoon!"

Hearing such an answer, Shen Zhijun and Mu Yubai, who was standing behind him, were surprised.

"I passed the registration conditions, shouldn't I be admitted directly? Why is there any second round of selection?" Shen Zhijun hurriedly asked.

"You'll know in the afternoon, okay, next!" said the deacon of Wuxuanyuan back to his previous seriousness.

When Shen Zhijun heard this, he had to put away the doubts in his heart, stood aside, and waited for Mu Yubai to test.

Looking at Mu Weibai in front of him, the deacon of Wuxuanyuan let him operate his Xuan power as usual.

Because when Mu Weibai was in the Jiuhan Gang, there were already signs of faintly touching the power of the second stage of Xuan, and until the day before he arrived at Wuxuan Courtyard, he finally reached the power of the second stage of the Xuan. With confidence in his heart, after hearing the deacon's request, Mu Weibai immediately urged the Xuanli to move!

"The power of the second stage of Xuan, just passed, stretch out your arm!"

Compared with Shen Zhijun, the deacon's attitude towards Mu Weibai is obviously much colder, but it is also normal, it took two years to cultivate to the power of the second stage of Xuan, and anyone will think that Mu Weibai is ordinary.

For this attitude, Mu Weibai didn't mind at all, he didn't care what others were looking at him, as long as he knew that he was not a mediocre person, it was enough.

"Wait! in the square, the second round of selection will begin in the afternoon!" the deacon repeated the same words mechanically.

After completing the test, the two directly found a vacant lot, and while cultivating, they waited for the so-called second round of selection in the afternoon...

It wasn't until late in the evening, after all the people in Nanshan Square had registered, that the person in charge of Wuxuanyuan announced and shouted in the center of the square: "All the new students who have passed the test β€”β€”, assemble in the center of the squareβ€”β€”!"

After hearing the notice, all the freshmen, including Mu and Bai, immediately rushed to the center of the square.

At this moment, at the front of everyone, stood a young man with a fair face, a purple crown on his head, and a white robe.

Looking at the vast number of new students in front of him, the young man shouted with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Cao Xuan, I am an elder in the Wuxuan Academy, and at the same time, I am also the chief examiner of our second round of selection tests! I know that everyone present has already met the admission requirements of the Wuxuan Academy, and according to the rules of previous years, everyone can directly enter the school!" Cao Xuan changed his words and continued: "But this year's situation is special, and everyone has to pass this second round of selection before they can enter the school!"

As soon as Cao Xuan finished speaking, there was a dense sound of questioning.

"Why is this year special?"

"What is the second round of selection tests?"

"Why do you have to pass the second round of tests?" - this is Mu Weibai's voice! Because he can meet the first condition, for this unknown second round of testing, Mu Weibai sincerely feels empty, he is afraid that he will not even be able to enter the Wuxuan Academy.

Hearing the various questions from below, Cao Xuan waved his hand to stop: "Everyone be quiet, and next, I will explain all the circumstances of this selection to everyone!"

It wasn't until Cao Xuan's words were heard that the dense questioning voices below slowly subsided.

Looking at the questioning eyes of everyone in front of him, Cao Xuan sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said loudly: "The people who participated in this selection test are not only you freshmen, but also old students who have been studying in the academy for two years and are the same age as you. So, this selection test is not only your entrance exam, but also an opportunity for all of you to test people, a chance to get to the strong! I have to say that you are lucky to have this opportunity!"

After a pause, Cao Xuan continued to say loudly: "The eight people with the best results in this test will represent my Lanfeng City Wuxuan Academy and participate in the 'Quan'anyang Wuxuan League!'"

Cao Xuan's words were like a boulder smashed into the sea, and it immediately aroused the interest of all the new students! Everyone present immediately boiled! Nanshan Square was in an uproar for a while, and the voices of the people were boiling!

In the crowd, only Mu Weibai looked very calm, and there were no more than two reasons. One is that he thinks that with his cultivation of the power of the second stage, it is difficult to achieve good results at all. The second is that he doesn't know what 'Quananyang Wuxuan League' is!

Looking at Shen Zhijun who was excited on the side, Mu Weibai was puzzled: "Sleeve Jun, what is the Quananyang Wuxuan League?"

At this time, Shen Zhijun was in a state of excitement, and after hearing Mu Yubai's question, he directly said without thinking: "Isn't our Lanfeng City in the territory of Anyang Province? The meaning of the whole Anyang Wuxuan League is that all the Wuxuan Academies in the entire Anyang Province participate in the competition! Our four major counties in Anyang Province, 14 cities, a total of 14 Wuxuan Branches! Each branch will send its own eight strongest students to participate in the competition, and the students and academies who finally win the championship will be said to receive very rich rewards!" This kind of competition is only held once every ten years, and I didn't expect us to bump into it, which is really lucky!"

After hearing the explanation, Mu Yabai immediately became as excited as everyone else, and secretly said in his heart: "I want to qualify for the 'Quananyang Wuxuan League'!"

Shen Sleeve Jun on the side seemed to be aware of Mu Yubai's thoughts, and immediately sneered: "Hey, hey, don't dream, this test is even for the old students in the academy, and even I may not be able to qualify, so it's even more impossible! You should worry about whether you can enter the Wuxuan Academy!"

Hearing this, Mu Yabai was suddenly lost......

Where did he not know his level, if he wanted to rely on the cultivation of these two stages of Xuan power to obtain a quota, it was no less difficult than ascending to the sky! With this thought, it was just an impulse, and at this moment, Shen Sleeve Jun's words had already made him sober!

However, Mu Weibai, who was sober, strengthened his inner thoughts even more, and slowly clenched his fists!

Seeing that Mu Weibai was so low, Shen Sleeve Jun couldn't help but regret what he said, and just as he was about to say something, Mu Sleeve Bai raised his hand to stop it, looked at Shen Sleeve and said with a smile: "You're right, I'm really a little overwhelmed. However, I still won't give up! I came out of Fuchuan Town just to make myself stronger, and if I even have the courage to fight, how can I become stronger!"

Seeing that Mu Weibai's heart was so firm, Shen Sleeve Jun was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: "It's quite manly!"

Seeing that the conversation below had not subsided, Cao Xuan waved his hand again to stop: "Please calm down, I haven't finished yet!"

Hearing this, everyone calmed down again.

After Cao Xuan looked around at all the people in front of him, he continued to say loudly: "What I just said is the first reason for this test, as for the second reason, it is because the estimated number of applicants in the academy this year is too much, which is more than several times that of previous years, and the academy simply cannot accommodate so many students, so a large part needs to be eliminated!"

"Estimated number of applicants?" Mu Weibai was very puzzled, looked at Shen Zhijun and asked, "How does the academy estimate the number of applicants?"

Shen Zhijun thought for a while and replied, "Doesn't the Wuxuan Academy go to various villages and towns every year to test the Xuanli?

"Next, I will tell you about this test. The following suddenly fell silent, and they all listened to Cao Xuan's words quietly. "According to statistics, the total number of people tested this time was 3,058, including 2,378 new students and 680 old students. After finishing speaking, Cao Xuan waved his hand, and behind him, more than a dozen black-robed people suddenly appeared, each of whom was carrying two huge bags in his hands!

Cao Xuan ignored everyone's puzzled gazes, paced while watching everyone continue: "The mechanism of the test is like this, we will prepare two kinds of brands, one brand with the word 'Wu' written on it, and the other brand with the word 'Xuan' written on it, the number of these two brands is half of the total number of people, that is, there are 1,529 pieces each!"

"These signs will be randomly distributed to you new and old students, one for each person. Cao Xuan pointed to the bag in the hand of the man in black and continued: "The location of the test is the Mingyue Forest behind Nanshan, after the test starts, the periphery of the forest will be completely blocked by the academy, and people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out, and this situation will continue until the end of the test, and the time is a month!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xuan pointed to all the freshmen in front of him and said with a smile: "If you freshmen want to pass this test, you must hold at least one pair of 'Wuxuan' brands in your hands after the test! And if you are ambitious enough to qualify for the 'Quananyang Wuxuan League' in two years, collect as many 'Wuxuan' brands as possible, and when the test is over, we will count the number of brands for each person, and if the number of 'Wuxuan' brands you hold in your hands ranks in the top eight, you will be qualified!"

As soon as Cao Xuan's voice fell, a question came out in front of his left side: "Our freshmen want at least one pair of cards to combine, but what about the old students? What if they don't have a single brand in their hands after the game?"

When Cao Xuan heard this, he immediately replied: "I said that this test is an entrance exam for you freshmen, and an additional opportunity to participate! And for the old students, this test is a simple qualification competition! If they don't have a sign in their hands after the competition, it just means that they have lost their qualifications, and there is no other impact! Oh, I forgot to tell you that after entering the Bright Moon Forest, you may be competing for not only brands, but also martial arts!" Because the academy has already placed a lot of high-level martial arts in the forest, whether you can grab them or not depends on your creation!"

"Then can you team up for this competition?" someone below threw out doubts.

The patient Cao Xuan replied again: "Yes, form a team randomly, there are no restrictions!" As soon as he finished answering, Cao Xuan's originally kind face suddenly surged with a killing intent, and Sen looked at everyone coldly and continued: "Including killing!"
