Chapter 56: The Game of Talent
"The Seven Great Families really live up to their reputation, and the Qingyun Li family has been dormant for many years, and it is really going to be a blockbuster again."
After the war, Wang Xiao, the dean of the Sword Academy, stroked his beard lightly, and there was no lack of emotion.
As the dean of the Sword Academy, who is the best at martial arts among the three academies, Wang Xiao can be said to have witnessed the terrifying heritage of the Seven Great Families in the past few decades.
In the Xiangzhou mainland, there is no one who does not know the old saying "one sect, three academies and seven families".
The status of the Holy Sect is supreme, and the three courts deal with the strategic matters of the Xiangzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm around the Holy Sect, and the seven great families live separately on one side, holding their respective flood inheritances, and their status is arranged in order from high to low.
But only the parties concerned know how fragile the structure of this pyramid is, except for the Holy Sect's high and extremely special status, the foundation of the Three Courts is far less solid than that of the Seven Great Families.
Both the Three Courts and the Holy Sect lack their own blood-forming ability, and most of the potential newcomers recruited are from the Seven Great Families, their allies, and subordinate sects, and within the sect, the higher the proportion of the children of the family. For example, almost all of the current leaders of Qinglian Academy are from the Seven Great Families, and most of the Sword Venerables of the Sword Academy are also from the Seven Great Families.
If it weren't for the supreme organization of the Holy Sect to check and balance, then the Xiangzhou Continent would undoubtedly be the world of the Seven Great Families.
In this regard, of course, the three academies have also tried to strike a balance, such as lowering the threshold for admission: as long as they show good cultivation potential, even if their quality in other aspects is mediocre, they can still be recruited, so as to offset the advantages of the family...... But in fact, even if they only fight for innate qualifications, the children of the family still have a huge advantage.
Good bloodline, excellent prenatal education, the children of the family have a unique advantage almost from the beginning of the mother's womb, and the inheritance of the flood era is to bless the seven families almost every generation will give birth to wizards beyond the reach of mortals.
If the qualifications of immortal cultivators are expressed in numbers, with a full score of 100, a talent with a score of more than 80 is enough to become the pillar of many sects. Such a talent is also the mainstay of the Seven Great Families, and it is rare, and it is even more rare for the mortal world...... However, the number of human beings in the mortal world is huge, and one in a million can also pick out thousands of talents with more than 80 points.
If the enrollment standard of the Holy Sect and the Three Academies was only 80 points, the Seven Great Families would not actually have any advantage, because the total number of talents in the mortal world who could reach 80 points was too much. But it is precisely because there are too many total amounts, so the Holy Sect and the Three Academies have to further raise the selection standards, 80 points are not enough, and 90 or even 95 points are needed to be eligible to enter the Three Academies, and at this score level, the numerical advantage of the mortal world is almost gone.
Lu Qun's kendo talent is extremely rare in Wang Xiao's opinion, at least he is also a genius with more than 90 points, but in the battle, Shen Qingming's physical quality, mental perseverance, and true yuan strength are all moving...... Considering that she hadn't broken through the wind barrier at the beginning of last year, her cultivation potential might be able to reach more than 95, which was the potential value that her biological father Li Fengyun only had at his peak, and it was a peerless genius who might not be able to produce one or two in a hundred years in the mortal world.
But the Qingyun Li family, when the family's fortunes were going downhill, two such geniuses were born in a row in the past fifty years.
It's a pity that such a genius was not discovered by the Wuxiang Sword Academy in time...... If she had known that Shen Qingming had such a talent, when she was unknown in Shen Yuan, the Wuxiang Sword Academy would have already sent an envoy to send an invitation letter - in terms of excavating newcomers, the Wuxiang Sword Academy is still quite experienced, and knows how to attract those newcomers who have not yet risen, whether it is the lonely and cold iceberg prince, or the friendly and warm brother next door, or even the cute pseudo-mother of the boy and girl, the talent reserve of the Wuxiang Sword Academy is very strong, which is also an important reason why the Sword Academy has a great advantage in the competition of the junior group.
Even a little later, before Shen Qingming won the Qingyun Grand Competition and became famous, the invitation from the Wuxiang Sword Academy was absolutely valuable.
It's a pity that it's a step too late, when Shen Qingming completely resolved the misunderstanding with the family, she became the family treasure that the Qingyun Li family couldn't let go, not to mention that Shen Qingming has always taken the private tutoring route, and she is not very used to receiving those system training.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao really felt a kind of regret beating his chest, if he could bring a treasure like Shen Qingming into his door, the Wuxiang Sword Academy would be equivalent to one more Dinghai God Needle in the next 50 years. Especially when I heard that although Shen Qingming is strong and has amazing potential, he lacks intelligence and is mildly mentally retarded, which makes Wang Xiao even more "thirsty for talent".
This kind of girl with low intelligence is the most suitable for flickering to be the mainstay of the sect, as long as she talks a little, she will definitely work hard, and if she is lucky, she may be able to take over her class as the dean of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, and then retire from this hard-working post as soon as possible.
It's a pity that all this is already a dream bubble.
With infinite regret, Wang Xiao withdrew his affectionate gaze at Shen Qingming and returned his attention to the arena again.
"Next, according to the rules, it's the battle of the high-end group, and our fighters ......," Wang Xiao said, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It's the new Heavenly Remnant Sword of the Academy, Xiaobai." ”
After speaking, Wang Xiao added: "Due to the temporary change of our candidates, in order to ensure fairness, your hospital can also change the candidates......
Before the words fell, a voice mixed with anger sounded: "Senior brother, what do you mean?!" I worked hard to become a heavenly remnant sword, and you are going to spoil my good deeds in the blink of an eye!? You can't deprive my sister of my chance just because you've been single for so long! Wait, are you having a crush on me!? ”
Wang Xiao was originally an excellent self-cultivation, and he was furious when he heard this: "Xiaobai, what nonsense are you talking about in front of so many people!?" ”
Xiaobai said: "Hmph, I don't want to change people anyway, he agreed to fight with me, what else do you have to say, don't make decisions for others without authorization!" ”
Wang Xiao had a headache, looked at Wang Jiu, and thought to himself, we are both presidents of the three academies, and we are all members of the Wang family, can we have a tacit understanding? Help me press this middle-aged and elderly woman who still refuses to stop? It's a big deal, and I'll give up these 20 points.
After listening to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters of the Sword Academy, and seeing Wang Xiao secretly bringing eyes, after thinking about it, he said very tacitly: "Dean Wang Xiao pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and I am very moved by the feeling of cherishing the senior sister, so I decided to change the candidate to avoid the result of the battle situation." ”
Wang Xiao simply collapsed on the spot, why can't you be specially hired by your junior sister to get me!? How did you interpret my sincere look in the eyes as so crooked!? The ghost will cherish this little white who gives me a headache for 360 days a year!
But the situation is like this, Wang Xiao had to speak: "Okay, the joke is over here, there are a lot of people watching the battle on the spot, so let's not waste time." Next, let's take a look at the new Dean of the College. ”
After speaking, Wang Xiao turned sideways and made way to the center of the arena. Wang Jiu was about to step forward, but Xiao Bai next to him came over with a smile, stood on tiptoe and leaned over, the tip of his nose almost touching Wang Jiu's sword spirit illusion.
But Wang Jiu clearly observed that the other party's proportions were just right, and he would never probe forward any more, so he didn't change his body, but waited for her next step.
"You're a very interesting person, I can't even see through you when you're so close, are you a real person?" As he spoke, Xiao Bai reached out and tried to poke Wang Jiu's cheek.
Wang Jiu didn't move, because Xiaobai's hand had not yet reached into place, so he retracted by himself.
"Forget it, I guess even if I touch it, I won't be able to touch anything real, I'll just say, how can such a handsome man really exist." Xiaobai sighed, withdrew his hand, but raised his eyebrows again, and said with great interest, "However, the person who can create such a perfect man interests me even more, who are you?" Is it really just the new president of Qinglian Academy? ”
This series of questions made Wang Jiu look at him with admiration.
Nowadays, there are not many people who can see through his illusion swordsmanship, with several upgrades in the sword world, the current illusion swordsmanship is far from the Qingyun City period, the illusion swordsmanship that has been miserably deformed due to the paint technology is not up to par, whether it is vision, smell, or even touch, it can be simulated to be the same as a real person, and it is enough to be immune to almost all the immortal insights in the Xiangzhou continent. In a sense, Wang Jiu already has his own physical body, but the way the physical body exists is slightly different from the convention.
But Xiaobai noticed the abnormality, and this eyesight is really rare.
After throwing out a series of questions, Xiao Bai did not wait for Wang Jiu to answer, but jumped to the center of the arena first, and then opened his hands and turned out a thick ancient book. And as the pages of the book flicked open, countless chilling sword qi spread out from it.
When he saw this ancient book, Wang Xiao couldn't help but sigh and said, "Senior Sister's Lifeless Sword Book has actually gone to the next level. ”
Next to him, Wang Zhao also shook his head and said, "Tianzhong is a genius, but it's a pity that he doesn't do his job." ”
The monks of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, no one would not recognize that thick and simple ancient book.
The Wusheng Sword Book records all the memories and understandings of the kendo genius Xiaobai in this life, and she is a genius, any swordsmanship can be memorized as long as you look at it, and understand the essence of it, so this Wusheng Sword Book is also all-encompassing, mysterious, as long as you turn the page, you can see the dazzling Xiaobai's kendo world.
And such a heavy treasure, Xiaobai rarely takes it out in front of outsiders, even when she is competing with Senior Brother Wang Zhao, who is above her, she rarely fights with a sword code...... But seeing that she was in high spirits at this time, and the appearance of quickly turning the sword codex, it was clear that she was going to go all out.
"I can't wait to learn your swordsmanship, please, let me open my eyes."
