On the Jiantai Square in the mountain gate of the palace, many guests have been ushered in one after another.

The drizzle was still falling.

The pavilions on three sides of the square were already full of people.

There were many more people standing in the square with umbrellas.

Not far away, in the square of the sword platform, there were also two rows of people holding umbrellas, all of whom were wearing the disciple uniforms of the outer courtyard of the Sword Academy.

They are the ones who take the promotion examination in the inner court.

Cultivation is all into the third realm, inheriting the artistic conception.

Today, they are the most high-profile teenagers, and they will definitely shine with dazzling brilliance, no matter how many people can be promoted to the inner court, and in the presence of the audience and other sect disciples, they need to go all out to raise the prestige of the sword academy.

Even if it was such an important matter as the promotion examination in the inner court, Xue Wangwu still did not show up.

Originally, Li Mengzhou thought that it would be the third senior sister or a certain Four Realms teacher to preside over this big exam, but when he saw the figure that jumped on the sword platform, not only Li Mengzhou, but many people showed a confused look.

Because the figure that flew out of the pavilion was actually the head of the Water Mirror Division, Fan Wuwei!

There was a sound of breaking the air.

Fan Wuwei's slightly obese figure stood firmly on the sword platform.

The promotion examination was held on the sword platform.

It is a competition of pure sword skills.

What is important is the mastery of mental power and the familiarity with swordsmanship, and the level of cultivation is secondary.

What the Imperial Sword Academy needs is a kendo genius.

It is not a disciple who has an extremely high cultivation but is not familiar with swordsmanship, because that is not a real sword cultivation.

The strength of sword cultivation is naturally shown on the body of the sword, and the depth of cultivation can be slowly improved over time, so cultivation is not unimportant, but it is not the most important, after all, these teenagers are still very young.

The sword platform hanging upside down in the middle of the lake is washed by the continuous drizzle, the lake surface ripples, and even occasionally the golden carp jumps out, throwing out drops of crystal water drops in mid-air, and the three-sided pavilion as a viewing platform surrounds the sword platform, looking from afar, there is really a dreamy scenery in the rain curtain.

Fan Wuwei stood on the sword platform, he also held an oil-paper umbrella.

Although with his supreme cultivation of the Upper Realm, as long as he wanted, this drizzle could not fall on his body, but he still deliberately held an umbrella.

"Many of the young talents here may not recognize me. This is the big exam of the Sword Academy, and I don't want to delay your time, so I can't avoid the suspicion of taking the lead, so I will briefly introduce myself, I am the new head of the Water Mirror Division, and my surname is not Fan, and my name is tasteless, which is also the meaning of tasteless food. ”

Fan Wuwei looked around, but it was natural to joke about his name, and then said: "Of course, the Sword Academy promotion exam will never be boring, but willing, and the taste will be known." Today, with the approval of Dean Xue, I am standing here with sincere fear to explain the rules of this big exam in detail for all the young talents in the Sword Academy. ”

The head of the Water Mirror Division is naturally the weight of the court, for those young people, it should be a person who is not easy to contact and does not want to contact, but Fan Wuwei's simple opening words made the nervous young man relax a lot.

In the square and pavilion, there was a can't help but chuckle, accompanied by some muttering, Fan Wuwei smiled slightly, and continued: "The big examination for promotion to the inner courtyard will be held every two years in the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, in order to select the best outer courtyard disciples and become the real mainstay of the Sword Academy. Since you are the best, there will not be too many people, so the competition between you will be fierce. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Wuwei paused a little and said with relief: "But you don't have to be nervous, two years will pass soon, even if you don't play well today, then in the next two years, you will be far ahead of the latecomers, and you will definitely enter the inner courtyard next time." ”

"According to the tradition of the Imperial Sword Academy, only the disciples who have practiced in the outer courtyard and stepped into the realm of Cheng Realm can participate in the big exam, and the winner will naturally have a corresponding reward in addition to being able to enter the inner courtyard to practice, that is, the famous sword inherited from the previous generation of the Sword Academy, and become a real sword cultivator. ”

He looked at the teenagers who were carrying swords behind him, and said slowly: "Cultivators are not informal, and sword cultivation doesn't care about the rules, but during the big exam, they also have to abide by the rules. The venue of the big exam is at my feet, and I can defeat the opponent with the rules of challenging each other, but I can't choose one opponent at the same time, which is also to ensure that every disciple can participate and be relatively fair. ”

"Those who lose are eliminated, and those who win naturally continue to challenge in the same way until the final outstanding disciple is selected. It is not clear how many people will be included in the inner courtyard, and this still needs to be decided by Dean Xue, so it is likely that only the last two people who will enter the inner courtyard will be the last two people, or it may be even further, four people, or even six people, which is possible. ”

Fan Wuwei's voice came to everyone's ears very clearly through the rain curtain, except for the specific details of the big exam, the rules such as sword skills competition, everyone was clear.

Therefore, this big test does not mean that if you are high, you will have an absolute advantage, but it mainly depends on your own understanding, which is a very fair rule, and no one can complain.

When Fan Wuwei jumped off the sword platform, he simply left a sentence: "Now, the big exam begins!"

Although Li Mengzhou really wanted to face everyone directly on the sword platform, this was undoubtedly breaking the rules, although he didn't care about this, he still didn't choose to do it.

And the first person to climb the sword platform was somewhat unexpected.

It is Zhou Luo, who thinks a lot about everything and has a not so decisive personality.

Although he decisively chose to be the first to play this time, he still had his own plans, he did not directly challenge Li Mengzhou or He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue, but chose an opponent who was relatively confident that he could win.

The disciples of the outer court who participated in the promotion examination were the weakest in cultivation and were also in the lower realm of Chengyi, and the opponent chosen by Zhou Luo was naturally also in the lower realm of Chengyi.

And because Xin Ming's cultivation has been at the peak of the Far Journey Realm so far, he has not yet broken his promise, so he will not participate in this big test, but just stand on the square and cheer for Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo's cultivation qualifications are not bad, but his personality is not quite consistent with sword cultivation, and he also focuses on studying sword skills, so it only took a little time to defeat opponents in the same realm.

Aside from other factors, the first battle of the big exam was relatively exciting.

The scene of sword fighting in the rain is very beautiful.

In the second half of the big exam, there was still no one to challenge Li Mengzhou.

Maybe it's because Li Mengzhou became famous in a battle with the Immortal Mountain Gate, and all the disciples of the outer court already knew that he had broken into the Chengyi Upper Realm, if he didn't have absolute confidence, obviously no one wanted to regard him as the first opponent.

So during this period, Li Mengzhou felt very bored, and talked nonsense with Shen Jiyue, who also had no one to challenge.

"Why did the Sword Academy's promotion exam have to let that Fan Wuwei explain the rules?

Shen Jiyue also didn't understand this matter, but just shook her head.

Li Mengzhou thought seriously and said: "Could it be that Teacher Fei and Fan Wuwei have met? When this person first arrived in the capital, he did a lot of great things and offended many people, if it is known that Fan Wuwei has some relationship with the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, it can indeed dispel some people's crooked thoughts." ”

After all, the Leaving Palace Sword Academy occupies a very high position in the capital, mainly because the cultivation of Xue Wangwu's Five Realms is placed here, if it is not a last resort, no one wants to go against Xue Wangwu.

Shen Jiyue said: "The court will more or less have something to do with the cultivation sect, because there are many cultivators who will also enter the court as officials, except for a few nomadic people, most of them are from the cultivation sect, whether it is someone in the court who wants to attach to the cultivation sect, or the cultivation sect is attached to the court, this is a very common thing." ”

Li Mengzhou said casually: "But the Leaving Palace Sword Academy is different from other cultivation sects, except for having to be a minister in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, the teacher should not care about anyone in the court, let alone a person who has just come to the capital and has not yet completely gained a foothold." ”

Shen Jiyue frowned slightly and said, "What do you think is the problem here?"

Li Mengzhou said: "There are definitely problems, but they are not something we need to pay attention to. ”

While these two people were talking, He Zhengrong had also stepped onto the sword platform.

Although both Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue all hope to challenge the strongest person, they also hope that all three of them can enter the inner courtyard, so in the first round of challenges, they will not choose each other.

And when there are fewer and fewer people who have not participated in the war, if they continue to be silent, they will only become the remaining people in the end, and they will have to fight.

He Zhengrong chose the challenger, not the challenged.

Among the disciples of the outer court, Li Mengzhou, Shen Jiyue, and He Zhengrong are already recognized as the strongest, and as challengers or chosen people, they don't want to face these three people.

But when challenging the opponent, he still has the right to choose, and when He Zhengrong becomes the challenger, those passively chosen disciples can only consider themselves unlucky.

With He Zhengrong's easy victory, Shen Jiyue and Li Mengzhou also boarded the sword platform successively.

As a result, the first round of the challenge was concluded in a short period of time.

After the battle, there was half an hour to rest, and the second round, which was the final battle for the selection of the disciples of the inner court, also began.

Nearly half of the people have been eliminated in the first half, and the participants in the second round are all people with some ability.

Only by defeating the opponent and entering the third round will you have the best chance of going directly to the inner court.

And the first disciple to ascend the sword platform in the second round was still Zhou Luo.

He didn't choose a weaker opponent, but looked at Li Mengzhou very sincerely and said, "Please fight." ”

Li Mengzhou raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Luo on the sword platform, smiled indifferently, waved his hand and threw away the umbrella, and jumped onto the sword platform.
