Volume 3 White Tiger Academy Chapter 155 Entrance Ceremony
The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, which had lasted for three hours, finally came to an end, the stars in the sky disappeared out of thin air, and the vast sky appeared in front of everyone's eyes again. The vast majority of the more than 20,000 candidates we referenced were in a state of frustration, knowing that they had no hope of fighting for those 80 places.
Ye Xiao was so immersed in doing the questions that he didn't know that the exam was over, and it wasn't until he came up with the answer that he found that the stars in his hand had long since disappeared. This exam has raised Ye Xiao's understanding of this world to a higher level again, this is a barbaric realm with a weakened cultural context, and people's minds are mostly focused on improving their strength and obtaining more resources, I don't know what kind of scene the fairy world is. For the first time, Ye Xiao eagerly longed for that more 'advanced' world, in the past, because he wanted to go there to find the clues of the ancient gods and find his way home, but now it was completely because of curiosity.
"The results are out..."Everyone found that the score on the white jade tablet had no longer changed, and this jade tablet was like a dividing line of fate, separating the fate of the eighty people on the tablet from the others.
"The first place, Xiao Ye, has a total of 2,932 points
The second place is Mu Bufan, with a total of 1,645 points
The third place Yehua has a total of 1,322 points
Fourth place Chu Hongchen, with a total score of 1,320 points
.......
80th place Miao Xiaohan, with a total of 608 points"
When the dust settled, all that was left to everyone present was amazement and envy, the little-known Xiao Ye in the first place was actually more than a thousand points higher than the well-known alchemy genius in the second place, how could this be possible! Although the third place Yehua was born in the Dire Clan, a second-class tribe, his aunt had already married into the Vermilion Bird Clan, and had a strong background in the first-class tribe. And Chu Hongchen, who is in fourth place, is familiar to everyone, Chu Qinglan's younger brother on the first day of White Tiger City, and he is unwilling to escort the White Tiger Academy and chooses to refer to himself, and this time it can be regarded as proving himself.
The sound of the people's wheels was mixed with a cry that shook the sky and fell to the ground, and the voice was full of tears, like a ghost crying, like a wolf howling, so that the smell was sad, and those who saw it wept. It was a short, fat little man, rolling on the ground at the moment, crying and crying.
"I said fat! We are all people who failed the list, if we didn't get in, we didn't get in, and if we fight again next year, what are you crying about, it's a shame that there are so many people here. The people around him chattered.
The fat man jumped up with a carp and punched it, "You know a fart! Lao Tzu's name is Zhang Mangmang! Lao Tzu's name is Zhang Mangmang, do you know!"
"Phew, what do you call Zhang Mangmang to do with me, can you beat people casually if you call Zhang Mangmang?" The man flashed the fat man's punch and said angrily, and he was about to fight back.
A person next to him hurriedly grabbed him, "Forget it, let that fat man cry, he should cry too." I knew that I couldn't pass the exam before, so I quit the Zhou Tianxing Dou Formation early, This fat man named Zhang Mangmang and the one named Miao Xiaohan have been rotating in the eighty position, and the result was not out until the last moment. If I'm not mistaken, he should be eighty-one this time. ”
Another word "quiet" flew out of Mu Chengshu's hand, and the scene instantly quieted down.
"There were 25,430 people in total, but only 80 were admitted. Many of you have come from far away, so in order not to leave empty-handed, all those who take this exam can go to Linlang Pavilion to have a look at it by virtue of their status jade pendant, and the time is limited to three days. Mu Chengshu said calmly that the results of this exam gave him an intuitive understanding of the knowledge level of the Barbarian Realm. Alchemy, refining, and formation all have successors, but I didn't expect that even counting, there are young people who have mastered the Heavenly Machine to this extent.
Mu Chengshu's words made everyone present excited, sweeping away the haze of being off the list before. There are many well-known buildings in the White Tiger Academy, and the most famous of them is the Linlang Pavilion, and it is rumored that those who are lucky enough to enter the Linlang Pavilion can find answers to many questions they encounter in their cultivation. The White Tiger Academy has never been open to the public, and this time it is a great gift for them to be allowed to enter the Linlang Pavilion.
Many people who watched the excitement outside the academy regretted it, the application conditions of the White Tiger Academy were extremely relaxed, under the age of forty, and the cultivation was above the cultivation level, and many of them met the requirements. Why don't you apply for the exam?
"Let's go, I'm afraid the number of applicants for the White Tiger Academy will increase greatly next year. I don't know what Mr. Mu is planning to do. Chu Tianji didn't understand Mu Chengshu's intention to open Linlang Pavilion, but he didn't think much about it, and left with Feng Feiwu. The old man on the side, Chu Sleeve, stayed in place, as if he had another task.
"The eighty people on the list come with me, and the others will go to Linlang Pavilion to visit in an orderly manner under the leadership of Hefeng and Mu Yu, remember not to make trouble!" Mu Chengshu's terrifying coercion as high as the seventh order of the True Immortal made everyone's hearts tremble. Even the White Tiger Academy, which would give face to the White Tiger City, naturally did not dare to make trouble.
Two twins of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as scholars, walked out to maintain the order of the people present and organized them to visit the Linlang Pavilion. And the eighty passers, including Ye Xiao, followed Mu Chengshu.
The White Tiger Academy is very large, much larger than a university campus on Earth, and the architecture inside the academy is very different from the style of the White Tiger City, where stone is the main building material. Ye Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, how long had he not seen such a scene? After walking through a stone gate, there was a cave, and what came into his eyes was the garden-like scene of Suzhou that Ye Xiao was familiar with.
The breeze blows, and the flowers in the pond sing in a low voice, because it is a spring day and there is no red scenery of lotus flowers reflecting the sun. But the dew rolling on the emerald green lotus leaves is so kind and lovely at the moment. A long dragon was quietly crawling above the pond, a long corridor that twisted and winded, and the antique architectural style stood out in the wilderness. Walking through the promenade, you will come to a pavilion with the name of 'No Regrets'. However, everyone did not come here to enjoy the coolness, and continued to walk along the stone path, the trees and flowers on both sides were rich in variety, and the appearance was lush and unprecedented.
White Tiger City takes twenty places every year, and this quota is not given for nothing, and they will not be stingy with the things in terms of property at all, but ask Mu Chengshu to be satisfied. There is such a Jiangnan Forest Garden in the majestic stone city, Ye Xiao can't help but feel that Mr. Mu really knows how to enjoy it.
The group was led by Mu Chengshu to a huge ancestral hall in the depths of the academy. The furnishings in the ancestral hall are completely different from the extravagance of the outside world, and only a huge stone statue is enshrined. There is a plaque hanging on the stone statue, engraved with the words 'Holy Teacher'.
Ye Xiao's heart was shocked, "No." ”
"The first thing you need to remember when you enter my White Tiger Academy is to respect your teacher. The White Tiger Academy is a Confucian Academy, and what I teach is also Confucianism, whether you are learning Dan Dao, refining weapons or formations, you must build on the foundation of Confucianism, even if you do not enter my Confucian door, but if you learn the art of Confucianism, you will have the grace of inheritance. This is the image of the Confucian saint Confucius in my immortal world, and you will pay homage to me. Mu Chengshu said to everyone.
"It's really Confucius!" Ye Xiao already had doubts when he heard Nangong Xingdou talk about Zhuangzi before, and his doubts were even worse at this moment. "What is the connection between this fairy realm and the earth?"
When he was stunned, someone next to him patted him on the shoulder, it was a handsome man dressed in white, and there was a faint smell of herbs on his body. Ye Xiao came back to his senses, this was not the time to be distracted. Then everyone followed Mu Chengshu to bow down to worship, and even knelt down directly to show sincerity and want to win Mu Chengshu's favor.
Everyone looked at the man with disdain, but at this moment, the man had already knelt down, if he was standing, wouldn't he be insincere? When everyone hesitated, Mu Chengshu spoke, even if he didn't look behind him, but he knew what was happening around him. "If the heart is sincere, what does it matter? If the heart is not sincere, what is the use of kneeling three times and bowing nine times?" his tone was flat, neither accusatory nor appreciative.
Ye Xiao frowned, "Confucianism is the most polite, how could Mr. Mu say such a remark that he doesn't worship, isn't it strange." ”
Since Mu Chengshu spoke, the kneeling man stood up awkwardly and worshiped with everyone.
"There are not so many rules in the White Tiger Academy, after the worship is completed, you will be officially enrolled, go and prepare today, and start the formal teaching tomorrow. Mu Chengshu said calmly.
Everyone did not expect that the entrance ceremony would be so simple, which was in stark contrast to the previous grand scene of more than 20,000 people vying for 80 places.
"Miao Xiaohan, Xiao Ye and the others stay, and the others leave first. Mu Chengshu said suddenly.
The eyes of everyone looking at the two of them were different in an instant, some were puzzled, some were envious, and some were jealous, "Is this a small stove?"
Mr. Mu's words were not listened to, and everyone walked out. The seventy-eight people were instantly divided into four groups, some were headed by Mu Bufan, some were centered on Yehua, and some followed Chu Hongchen, and the rest of them either regarded themselves as high-minded, or had no relationship or were not sociable.
Although Mu Bufan was born in a second-class clan, his grandfather was the chief alchemist of White Tiger City, and even the three city lords had to give three points, so Mu Bufan's identity was no worse than Chu Hongchen. And those students who rushed over from the Southern Vermilion Bird Domain to be admitted to the White Tiger Academy naturally followed Yehua.
"Brother Mu, what do you say Mr. Mu left the first and eightieth places?" Chu Hongchen was gorgeously dressed, had a noble temperament, and was tall, compared to Mu Bufan, who was much thinner, but because of the relationship between the elders, the personal relationship between the two was also good.
"Mr. Mu's thoughts, where are you and I guessing, what I am more curious about than this is what Xiao Ye is good at, could it be a refining genius? But it is impossible for the third-level tribe Earth Cat Clan to cultivate such a genius. Mu Bufan replied.
"Are you allowed to have adventures and not allow others to have good luck?" said a man dressed in black with a slightly cold face, it was Yehua. Born in the Dire Clan, but with the background of Vermilion Bird City, he was not afraid of Mu Bufan and Chu Hongchen, after all, the Vermilion Bird Clan was an existence of the same level as the White Tiger Clan.
"Boy, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, after all, this is the realm of the White Tiger, and you will still settle down in the future. What's more, you are a Dire Clan after all, and you are always an outsider to the Vermilion Bird Clan. "Chu Hongchen's temper is not so good.
"Young Master Chu doesn't know, since I was admitted to the White Tiger Academy, according to the agreement with the Vermilion Bird Clan, after graduation, I can enter the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool to wash the marrow and cut the veins, and I am officially recognized by the Vermilion Bird Clan. Yehua didn't lie, even now the treatment he enjoys is not much different from those young masters of the Vermilion Bird Clan, who let him have a much-loved and capable aunt.
"I lost to you in this assessment, but the future is long, the battle of words is meaningless, we will fight in the formation!" Chu Hongchen's eyes were full of fighting intent, he lost a little bit this time, but he will definitely not lose all the time, his formation talent must be no worse than the kid in front of him.
The two regarded each other as lifelong enemies, but a true formation genius was still uneasy in the ancestral hall.
