Chapter 54: Qualifying (Part I)
The Abacus Tower has both temporal and spatial properties.
From the outside, it is no more than a foot tall and less than a meter wide, but the space inside is too large to see the boundary. The time inside the tower and outside the tower are also not synchronized, ten days have passed inside the tower, and only one day has passed outside the tower. Ten months passed inside the tower, and only one month outside the tower.
Ordinary storage space can only put dead things, not living things. And inside the Star Calculation Tower, not only can living creatures be stored, but even people can enter it, but the people inside are ten times faster than outside.
So why does the First Star Academy let students go to the Star Calculation Tower to learn Star Calculation?
First, in the Star Calculation Tower, there is a Star Calculation Tower, which concentrates all the classics of the 23 courses of Star Calculation, which is the only one in the world, and there is no other branch;
Second, the study of astrology is so complex that it takes a few years for mortals to master only one of the twenty-three courses, and if they want to learn all of them, they don't know what year or month they will have to wait. But with the Star Abacus Tower, the situation is very different. Think about it, the soul master has been studying in it for ten years, and after coming out, only one year has passed in the outside world, so compared with their peers in the outside world, although they seem to be older, are they unbeatable in cultivation, far ahead, and take advantage of it?
This is still known to everyone. In fact, there are many magical functions of the Star Calculation Tower that are not known.
Therefore, all the students of the Star First Academy, including the crescent moon white, did not expect that the Star First Academy would use an artifact like the Star Calculation Tower to teach everyone the course of Star Calculation.
For most soul masters, this is a special opportunity that cannot be encountered in a lifetime, and it must not be missed.
You must know that the Star Calculation Tower can only be opened once every twenty years, and the opening time each time is not more than six months. Although it is owned by the Crescent Moon Empire, even the Crescent White, who is the third princess of the Crescent Moon Empire, has not had a chance to touch it before.
The students of the First Star Academy were all gearing up, and their eyes were fanatical.
So how do you determine who is qualified to study and who is not?
This goes back to the personal strength rankings announced by the college at the beginning of the school two years ago.
This list was originally planned to be updated once a month, and in the specific implementation, the instructors found that most students did not care about this kind of false name, even if some people were obviously better than others, they were willing to rank behind and did not take the initiative to challenge. So after two years, there is still not much change in the ranking of this list.
However, everyone knows that the true strength of each student has already undergone earth-shaking changes. It would be unreasonable to determine the candidates according to the previous list. Therefore, the academy decided to re-evaluate the individual strength rankings through a team competition, so as to determine the list of people who are eligible to enter the Star Calculation Tower to study.
The specific competition method is that the four teams of Shi Zhengyang, Feng Wanli team, Shuizhong Snow team, and He Xiaoduo team will fight against each other, and the two winning teams will compete for the championship, and all the members of the champion team, no matter how many positions they rank in their personal strength, are eligible to enter the Star Calculation Tower.
In the course of the competition, the instructor re-ranks the personal strength according to each person's performance, and the top 20 students are also eligible to enter the Star Calculation Tower.
Cai Yan introduced this, and He Dali said loudly: "Teacher Cai, you are wrong!" In the past two years, He Dali has learned a lot of things from Yun Tianjia, and he has been very proficient in simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division like this.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Cai Yan said with interest.
"There are eight people in the championship team, plus the top twenty students, that is, twenty-eight people, four more than the twenty-four people mentioned before!" He Dali said proudly: "So only the first sixteen students should be qualified!"
Long Yuandong covered his face, glanced at the fat man, and whispered: "Fat man, don't be ashamed if you don't understand!"
He Dali had no sense of shame, and said loudly: "Why don't I understand? Isn't this clear, clear? Twenty plus eight equals twenty-eight! Do you say yes, Brother Tortoiseshell!"
Yun Tianjia's face was a little unbearable, and he said vaguely: "You listen to what the teacher says first!"
Cai Yan coughed his throat and said, "Of course, the members of the championship team can't all be ranked after the twenty in their personal strength, under normal circumstances, they should even be most ranked before the twenty." Considering that there will be some overlap between the twenty cadets and the eight members of the championship team, the two should add up to between twenty and twenty-eight. If there are less than twenty-four, they will be replaced from twenty-one, and if there are more than twenty-four, they will be eliminated from twenty-one until there are exactly twenty-four. Do you understand what this means?"
He Dali also understood, and he was as good as a stream: "In this way, the privilege of the champion team still has some weight, which can ensure that the whole team can enter the Star Calculation Tower." ”
Shi Zhengyang said: "The individual ranking is estimated by the teacher based on the performance of the competition, if the students at the back have opinions, what should I do?"
"Old way!" Cai Yan's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Shi Zhengyang's questioning of the teacher's vision, paused for a moment, and explained: "If anyone is dissatisfied with the ranking, during the three-day publicity period, everyone has a chance to challenge anyone. However, at least three mentors must be present in order to win or lose. Are there any questions?"
He Dali said loudly: "No problem!" The students laughed loudly. After two years of getting along, the 32 trainees, except for a few who were particularly withdrawn, generally got to know each other. The trio of He Dali, Zhong Dinghe, and Xiong Zhuangzhuang are even more famous, and everyone knows about them.
"Good. So now it's time to draw lots to decide which two teams are in the first group and which two teams are in the second group. Please come out of the four captains!"
He Xiaoduo thought to herself, she wouldn't be able to win the championship anyway, and in this competition, she just begged not to lose too ugly. So I secretly hope that it is best not to draw a group with the Zhengyang team.
In the past two years, the students of Xingyi Academy have to meet every three or five times, she is very aware of the strength of her team members, except for herself, Long Yuandong, He Dali, and Yun Tianjia, the rest of the people not only did not close the gap with others, but also showed signs of falling farther and farther away. In the whole team, only Yun Tianjia made rapid progress, but probably because his master taught him some kind of camouflage secret method, he couldn't see through the extent of his cultivation. He originally had the thinnest foundation, even if he made faster progress, he wanted to come to Long Yuandong and He Dali, and his strength should be between them.
In He Xiaoduo's opinion, it is already very good that his team can barely win the last place.
Long Yuandong and He Dali are just the opposite, they can't wait to be in the same group as the Shi Zhengyang team, anyway, if they want to lose, why not compare with the recognized strongest team, at least they know where their gap is.
Yun Tianjia was a little entangled, Shi Zhengyang's team's crescent white, Feng Wanli's team's Gong Luoluo, and Shui's snow in the water team, were all people he didn't want to confront head-on, if it was possible, he would rather be confused, not to distinguish who was higher and who was lower.
After the draw was completed, as He Xiaoduo wished, the first group was drawn with the water snow team.
