Chapter 4: The Current State of the Continent
In the Elemental Continent, every year in each empire, each academy will send mentors to select students in various places to cultivate talents for the empire.
And each person's physique can only be distinguished by the various academies of the empire, because the equipment of the test students is under the control of the imperial academy, and the cost is extremely expensive, even if some families have the financial resources to build it, it is not necessary.
The tester is a rare metal ore called elemental crystal on the continent, and it has been refined by the dwarven refining master, and only the dwarven race can refine weapons on the continent.
Because the dwarves grow in the volcanic area next to the hills, and they are born with the body of the fire element, with the addition of the ancestral method of refining, they are born to be refiners, and even if other races on the continent are, the body of the fire element, without the method of forging, will not refine weapons.
The source of income of the dwarf race is to refine weapons and sell weapons, and the weapons on the continent are basically refined by dwarves, so although the number of dwarves is relatively small and there are not many strong people, there is no force willing to offend the dwarves, so the status of the dwarves on the continent is also very high.
There are two kinds of people on the continent who are the most popular, one is the dwarf clan who can refine weapons, and the other is the person who has the body of the life element, and there are no alchemists or doctors in the elemental continent.
Because there is no aura on the mainland, there are no alchemy materials, so the Life Yuan Spirit and the Wood Yuan Spirit are the natural physicians of the mainland.
Although the Wood Primordial Spirits can also save people, compared to the Life Primordial Spirits, it is like the difference between ordinary doctors and experts.
Although the Life Primordial Spirits had no attack power in the early stage, there was no one who was disrespectful to them.
In the Elemental Continent, there are many fewer primordial spirits than primordial martial artists, and they are generally some people with strong innate spiritual power and weak bodies, as well as girls, and those who cultivate primordial spirits.
The reason is that the attack power of the Yuan Soul in the early stage is too weak, and the Yuan Spirit of the same realm is far from being the opponent of the Yuan Warrior, because the Yuan Martial Artist practices the body, and it is difficult for ordinary Yuan Spirit of the same realm to break through their defense.
Unless it is, those rare primordial spirits with strong attack power, and the elemental physique that just happens to be compatible, such as: thunder and lightning, space, devouring, destruction, etc......
The elemental constitution of mutual restraint such as: water overcomes fire, fire overcomes wood, etc......
The Yuan Warrior against the Yuan Spirit, as long as he is close, the Yuan Soul will definitely die, the reason is that the weak body of the Yuan Soul cannot withstand the attack of the Yuan Warrior.
Back then, Su Zhenming and Xiao Zhan were two of the best among the thirty-six super-grade students in the Ice and Snow King City, the Lingwu Academy.
Ordinary people, many of them have ordinary elemental physiques, such as the five element elements, and the weather element, and so on, .......
Xiao Zhan is, the gold element primordial warrior, Su Zhenming is, and the fire element primordial warrior, the two of them are relatively strong among the ordinary elemental primordial warriors.
At the beginning, Xiao Zhan and Su Zhenming, the two often fought, although Xiao Zhan's gold element physique, defensive attack was a little stronger than Su Zhenming's fire element physique, but Su Zhenming's fire element physique was a bit restrained Xiao Zhan's gold element physique, so the strength of the two was half a catty, and the strength was comparable.
The tester is in the shape of a transparent ball, the size of a basketball, with a hand-letting groove on it, and nine stars next to it, representing from low to high: Shi, General, Handsome, King, Emperor, Emperor, Zun, Sheng, and God.
There are four dots on each star, which represent: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the consummation, and when you reach the age, as long as you put your hand in the groove of the tester, what elemental physique you are, what color the tester will become, and how much potential it will be displayed, at a glance.
The Elemental Continent has used this kind of tester since ancient times to test people's potential and elemental attributes, but since the War of the Gods, after the various elements have been thinned, the last two stars representing the Holy Star and the Star of the Gods, the two potential stars, have never been lit up again.
The appearance of a person who can light up a star of supreme potential will cause a sensation in the entire Elemental Continent, mainly because there are only a few supreme masters on the continent now.
The potential of the people on the continent is closely related to the richness of the elements, and the places where the elements are rich are occupied by the major forces on the mainland.
Like Hanjiang County, in such a remote place, it is rare for a handsome powerhouse to appear, and he can become a hegemon.
Su Zhenming is a clear example, because of this, every family takes good care of their children and grandchildren before the age of twelve.
Girls are not so important, because no matter how talented a girl is, she will always become someone else's family.
However, there are exceptions, and some families will try their best to let her stay in the family, as long as she is not a close relative, let her marry a side or cousin.
It is also a very normal thing on the mainland, in the Elemental Continent, the status of girls is very low, and the women of the family basically cannot choose their own marriage.
Girls from ordinary families are even more miserable, for the sake of the family, some families will sell their daughters to others for the sake of others, which is still good, and some families will sell their daughters as slaves for others to trade.
Just last year, Su Tian was twelve years old, and finally ushered in the long-awaited test, among the juniors of the Su family, especially the vein of the head of the family, Su Zhenming, the eldest son, Su Wu was sixteen years old, with an earth element physique, and the potential of the late stage of the general level, which was also a superior qualification in Hanjiang County.
He has been studying at Wangcheng Academy for four years, and now he is a Yuan martial artist with a perfect earth system rank, the eldest lady, Su Min is fourteen years old, with a wood element physique, and the initial potential of the general level, and he is also a medium-to-upper qualification in Hanjiang County.
After studying in Wangcheng Academy for two years, he is now a mid-level Yuan Ling of the wood department, the two of them Su Wu are honest and kind, Su Min is gentle and generous, and he is also very good to his half-brother Su Tian.
Because the qualifications of the eldest son Su Wu are not satisfactory, Su Zhenming pinned his hopes on the second son Su Tian and the third son Su Tong.
On the day of the test, there were tens of millions of people in the county square, and there were nearly a million people in the entire Hanjiang County, including twelve-year-old boys and ten-year-old girls, but only more than 10,000 people went to the academy.
Studying in the academy of the royal city costs ten gold coins a year, and this is still in the royal city, the academy of the imperial city costs one hundred gold coins, and the academy of the imperial capital costs one thousand gold coins.
You must know that ordinary families, some have never seen gold coins in their lives, and for those ordinary people, gold coins are only used by those nobles.
In their house, only copper coins are used, and some silver coins are used in the family, and they dare not think about gold coins, knowing that a silver coin in their family is enough for them to live for a year.
In the Elemental Continent, it is a slave society where the strong are respected, and the strong will never worry about money, for those who live at the bottom, ordinary people, food and clothing are a problem, and many of them rely on selling their sons and daughters to solve this problem.
Therefore, in the Elemental Continent, slave trading from ancient times to the present day is a normal phenomenon, and a good slave can buy one or two silver coins here, and a few copper coins can be bought.
In the Elemental Continent, the currencies from low to high are: copper coins, silver coins, gold coins and Yuan Crystal, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, one hundred gold coins are equal to one general-level Yuan Crystal, and so ......on.
Yuan Jing is the crystallization of the elemental power in the body of the Yuan Beast, only in the body of the Yuan Beast above the rank of general, people with the same element physique can directly absorb the Yuan Crystal, but the Yuan Beast is invincible in the same realm Yuan Jing is difficult to get, only the big forces will have Yuan Jing.
