Chapter 138: Goals
A few days are not long, they have passed in the blink of an eye. However, these days are short, but Zhao Yulong's arrangements are very complete, so these days are not wasted.
Now that a few days have passed, those who caught the war beasts have basically all arrived, and those who know that they have failed the assessment have also left alone.
Although not all of the people who took the test were on the mountain, it was still very crowded. It's not like there's no place to settle down, but it's normal for a few people to be crammed into a room.
Zhao Yulong calculated the number of people at the beginning, and now there are at least 20,000 people on the mountain, and only the top 3,000 are selected among the 20,000 people, which seems really cruel. However, this kind of Zhao Yulong can also understand, after all, all the people to be cultivated are Tianjiao, and the natural selection will be very strict, which is why the powerhouses of the imperial kingdom are all from Tongtian Academy, because they are not elites who are not qualified to enter the academy at all.
Because all the people absorbed are geniuses, and the academy is in the center of the spiritual veins of the imperial kingdom, there have been many powerhouses on the Megatron side over the years. Although these powerhouses may not be sincere in the academy or the imperial kingdom, they cannot deny their origins.
Therefore, in this way, more and more geniuses are coming, and there are more and more strong people educated in the natural academy. Year after day, day after day, the fame of the Faculty of Nature was established, and the Faculty of Naturals grew.
It is also for this reason that the academy has grown from a few hundred people to thousands today. Now it can be said that when the academy is in full swing, naturally they will not lack some geniuses, although the selection will be more strict.
However, this selection system is actually nothing to Zhao Yulong, after all, all he cares about is whether he and these friends can be selected, and it doesn't matter if the others stay.
After all, Zhao Yulong is not very familiar with them, and Zhao Yulong has some disdain for nobles in his heart for some reason. It's not that they have done anything, in fact, all the noble children here don't know Zhao Yulong.
So it is impossible to say who it is aimed at, but in Zhao Yulong's opinion, they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and they only relied on their status and resources to come here, which made Zhao Yulong look really a little watery.
In fact, their talent is nothing, it's just that the starting point is higher than others, and it is difficult to look down on this kind of unworthy genius Zhao Yulong.
However, Zhao Yulong is a measured person, and he naturally will not put his personal views into practice. So he didn't say this, but there was naturally rejection in his heart.
Of course, compared to the rejection of these nobles, Zhao Yulong pays more attention to whether the other four can ensure the safety around him in the game.
Although this matter had been ordered before, Zhao Yulong still had some concerns in his heart. It's not that Zhao Yulong doesn't trust them, it's just that it's really troublesome for more than 20,000 people to stop them, after all, the consumption of physical strength alone may not be able to support it.
But no matter how relieved you are worried, this game is going to be played anyway. Therefore, Zhao Yulong can only resign himself to fate!
So all the worries now are just a fantasy, and the real situation depends on the situation in the game. Therefore, in order to ensure as much success as possible in the competition, Zhao Yulong is now resting with his eyes closed, so that he can use more illusions in the competition.
Although it is indeed safer to prepare in this way, it is really uncomfortable for Zhao Yulong to have nowhere to go. If these 20,000 people really let him exert all his strength, in fact, it will only take a few hours to solve them.
But with this academy pressuring him, he had to adopt this method of hiding and hiding, which made Zhao Yulong feel the pressure and at the same time provided him with motivation.
If his goal was to help Emperor Wu restore the glory of the former dynasty in a naΓ―ve way, then now his goal is to make himself so strong that he no longer has to hide his bloodline with fear.
Maybe this is not much easier than the previous goal, but for Zhao Yulong, it is more solid and intense.
If the restoration of the dynasty was just a childhood fantasy, then the goal now is his own unwillingness after being oppressed. Why can't he be treated as equals like others because of his special status? Why can't he be treated as equals just because his bloodline is to be feared or even hunted down by the whole world?
Yes, Zhao Yulong is not reconciled, and he will not be willing, because he has done nothing wrong. If you want to say that the only thing you did wrong, it is that you are not strong enough, and you can't have the strength to destroy heaven and earth with a single move, so Zhao Yulong's goal is to have this kind of power, so that he won't spend all the time in fear.
However, it seems that someone interrupted Zhao Yulong's rest, and Zhao Yulong can naturally hear this voice, this is the examiner who told them about the form of the competition a few days ago.
"Everyone listen to me! This competition ......" The examiner repeated what he said a few days ago, and Zhao Yulong had already memorized them, so he didn't pay attention to them.
However, the specific rules of the competition announced later had not been said by the examiner before, so Zhao Yulong still opened his eyes and looked at the examiner on the stage.
The examiner cleared his throat and continued: "You can use various methods in this exam, as long as you force your opponent out of the exam room, such as sneak attack and teaming up! But you have heard some things clearly for me! Killing people is absolutely not allowed in the exam, and if you intentionally kill someone, you will be deprived of your lifelong admission qualifications!"
This frightened most of the people, and the nobles who had planned to kill those they didn't like in the assessment were now much more cautious. Although they couldn't let go of their thoughts, they still didn't dare to violate the rules of the academy.
"Very good! Since no one opposes me, I will accept it, if I enter the examination room for a while, I will find that I have killed others, don't even think about it!" The examiner said very loudly, obviously this is the rule of the academy, if there is no academy support, he naturally does not dare to take these nobles.
It seems that the power of the academy is indeed strong, and a nobleman who has no worries is actually frightened by this rule, and is much more honest.
"It looks like this academy won't stay for long!" When the people around him sighed that the academy was powerful, Zhao Yulong said something different alone.
"Why? Friend, you can't talk nonsense, it's not good to say that people can hear it!" Because Zhao Yulong had something in his heart before, he didn't pay attention to the side, and now he is surrounded by many strangers he doesn't know.
One of the more talkative people asked boldly after hearing Zhao Yulong's strange words, but his question made Zhao Yulong feel wrong, because his words had been heard by many people.
In order not to make himself look special, Zhao Yulong explained in words that ordinary people can understand: "Because you think that the academy dares to say such things now, doesn't it replace the royal family's right to speak in the imperial country?"
After hearing this, the man smiled: "Friends can tell at a glance that you are not a local, right? The high-level people of this academy are already members of the royal family, so where will they be taken care of by the royal family?"
This is indeed something that Zhao Yulong didn't expect, because he didn't know about this academy after all, so he naturally didn't know that this was the back door for the royal family to choose a general for his future. But fortunately, the stranger reminded himself, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to let the royal family know his identity.
"I see! Thank you! I'm not a local. After Zhao Yulong finished speaking, he quickly left the crowd, in case he accidentally said the wrong thing again, it would be bad.
Maybe no one doubted that it was because of luck this time, but luck didn't always exist, so Zhao Yulong still chose to stay away from them earlier to avoid accidents.
However, they didn't have much suspicion about Zhao Yulong's hurried departure, they didn't know that the outsiders here were ugly and embarrassed, in short, they didn't take Zhao Yulong seriously.
However, Zhao Yulong knew the real reason why this academy was going to perish, and that was Zhao Yulong himself. Although Zhao Yulong didn't know much about this academy, Xu Qing had probably told him some things about this academy before.
Although most of them are trivial things, there is one thing that Zhao Yulong remembers very clearly, that is, the Dead Man Academy in this academy will not care at all.
Here, as long as his status is not noble, no one will care if he is killed. And this examiner still dares to shamelessly say that killing is not allowed, which is clearly saying one thing and doing another.
Naturally, Zhao Yulong looked down on this academy, so in his opinion, if he really had such strength, he would perish sooner or later. Naturally, this is what he said before, but he was heard by others, it was not because they didn't take it seriously, and they were in danger today.
After all, Zhao Yulong doesn't have this strength now, so this also makes Zhao Yulong realize that even if he speaks before he has strength, he will be oppressed.
However, Zhao Yulong did not think about this problem in detail, because he was still speaking on stage. Although Zhao Yulong saw that what the examiner said was like a fart, there are some rules that he still has to know, otherwise if he doesn't even know why he is out, it will become a joke?
"This exam does not allow the use of auxiliary props that are not your own strength, such as runes. If you are found to be brought into the test room, you will be disqualified from the test even if you do not use it. Therefore, all the runes must be placed in the prop storage place before entering the examination room, direction!
This reassured many ordinary rich boys, because in fact, they didn't have many runes. After all, runes are more precious than pills, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary rich and noble families to have much inventory.
Looking at the entire imperial kingdom, it is these nobles who have the most runes, so they are a little unhappy with this rule. However, thinking that behind the academy was the royal family, so they still didn't dare to say anything.
The examiner didn't care whether they accepted it or not, anyway, he was a messenger, and after he said what he was going to explain, he didn't bother with the rest. Now he saw that the venue was still quiet, so he continued: "Let's talk about the exam steps in addition, first of all, after you hand in the corpse of the war beast, you have to go to the assessment elder to get the assessment order. This is a kind of rune, once you enter the examination room, don't leave this token, if you are in danger of your life, crush it yourself, he will send you out, but at the same time it also means that you give up the assessment. β
Speaking of this, the examiner paused: "Let me remind you first, the assessment is important, but life is more important, if you encounter an opponent who can't be beaten, don't hold on, and quitting by yourself is a smart choice." Although the academy stipulates that you can't kill people, but others may not be able to stop it, so it's best to learn to give up, but it's a big deal to come to the assessment next year, and there is no need to hold it up. β
Sure enough, when it comes to this, it still shows the horse's feet, and the words that were not allowed to kill people before are all like farts now. Because as long as the nobles kill someone, they can explain that the spiritual power is out of control, and this matter is naturally unresolved.
This is a good thing for the aristocracy, but it is too cruel for those ordinary rich sons and even commoners who climb up step by step on their own.
After all, it is not as easy as cultivating a genius in their family than a nobleman, after all, there is a huge difference in resources. So for the aristocracy, it is only a matter of time to cultivate a genius, and for an ordinary family, the appearance of a genius may be the luck of a family for hundreds of years. If it was killed like this, the blow to a family would be unimaginable.
Such a rule of favoring the aristocracy made Zhao Yulong see through this academy, yes! This academy is already rotten from the bottom of its bones, and there is absolutely no possibility of saving it.
Therefore, in Zhao Yulong's eyes, the destruction of this academy is inevitable, even if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid that someone will send this academy to a dead end in the future. After all, Zhao Yulong still remembers the sentence written on the back of "Sitting on the World" - where there is oppression, there is resistance!
However, it is impossible for others to know Zhao Yulong's thoughts, and it is even more impossible for the examiner on this stage to know, so he is still concentrating on his rules, but these rules seem to be not very important in Zhao Yulong's opinion, because how useful are the rules that can be changed with strength or power?
"After receiving the assessment order, we will take you to the Academy's Void Realm Terrace and open the Void Realm. This is the usual place to practice at the academy, so once you go in, you can look around and learn about the environment you will be in the future. In short, you all have to enter this realm, and the later you come out, the lower your ranking. Do you understand?" This seemed to be a question, but the examiner didn't wait for them to answer before he said, "Very well! Now that you have understood, come up and hand in the corpses of your first round of assessments, and I will rank you according to their rank." β
