Chapter Twenty-Five: The Attraction of the Heavenly Dao Academy
Early in the morning, the school field in the north of the city was full of people, groups of teenagers, crowded at the door, and after a while, the registration for the martial arts assessment was about to begin.
"You wait for me here, and I'll come out to find you after I sign up. Zhu Yi found a line at the back and asked Xiaowei to go to the tea shop on the side to eat some pastries and wait.
But Xiaowei shook her head and said, "Young Master, I don't want to leave your side. ”
Xiaowei's eyes were sincere, which moved Zhu Yi greatly, so she nodded and asked her to stand with her.
The queue was very long, and almost all the cultivators under the age of twenty in Jinling who had not joined the sect gathered here.
The annual martial arts examination is a springboard for cultivators to step into the road of the strong, and if they can pass the assessment, they will be able to enter the academy for systematic study.
After all, with professional guidance, the efficiency is many times higher than groping alone.
More importantly, there are countless resources in the sect. Whether it is cultivating the mind method, or martial arts, or even elixirs, elixirs, and spiritual weapons, they are almost all available, and as long as you show enough talent, you will be able to enjoy these resources.
Everyone has a dream of being strong, in the face of such a temptation, no one will not be moved, since the opening of the martial arts assessment, it has become a grand event in the Ming Dynasty.
"I filled out this registration form and went to the school to test my cultivation. The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged man, he didn't even look at Zhu Yi, threw him a registration form and a brush, and ignored him.
Zhu Yi didn't care, these people were all from some powerful academies, and they didn't take secular cultivators seriously at all, but their strength was indeed very strong, which was also their proud capital.
After filling out the registration form, Zhu Yi received a jade plaque and walked to the school with Xiaowei.
The person in charge of guarding the door was two young women, who wanted to stop Xiaowei, but seeing her concerned about Zhu Yi's expression, they let them all in.
"No. 345, the first level of qi cultivation, qualified, keep the jade plate, and come to participate in the assessment the day after tomorrow!"
As soon as he entered the school grounds, Zhu Yi only saw a shirtless middle-aged man, staring intently at a stone that was one person tall and smooth as a mirror, and shouted loudly.
The voice was deafening, but it didn't make people feel any discomfort, but it was a lot more energetic.
"This is a master, and his cultivation has at least reached the peak of condensation. Zhu Yi roughly judged the strength of the middle-aged man.
"Next, three hundred and forty-six!"
A slightly chubby teenager walked out of the crowd, and the middle-aged man said, "Put your hand on the stone mirror and move your energy on it." ”
When the fat boy heard this, he pressed his hands tightly on the stone mirror and began to run his energy, and in an instant, the originally white stone mirror slowly turned red from the bottom, and finally stopped when it was about to turn orange.
"Ha, it's really interesting that these people actually put the level division of the spirit core on the test of strength. ”
Zhu Yi squinted his eyes and saw the mystery clearly, it turned out that at the bottom of the stone mirror, there was a scale from one to nine, marked as the primary body, and then the top was to nourish qi, which was also one to nine, and then it was contemplation, and so on.
"The peak of the primordial body, qualified!"
Obviously, people who have not reached the level of qi cultivation and cultivation, middle-aged people are too lazy to say half a word.
"It's him! That must be Wanhetian. When the slightly chubby boy turned around and left the field, Zhu Yi recognized him, the fat man who was with Wan Hetian yesterday.
However, Zhu Yi did not deliberately look for Wan Hetian in the crowd, and an opponent like him would not let Zhu Yi take it seriously.
The middle-aged man recited several more numbers, none of them had reached the Qi cultivation level, even the peak of the primary body, there was only one, and the rest were all just at the fifth level of the primary body.
"Next, number four hundred and twenty-seven. ”
Zhu Yi looked at the numbers on the jade plaque, walked straight into the crowd, and came to the stone mirror, but the middle-aged man seemed to have been disappointed in the tester, and he didn't even look at him.
In the eyes of middle-aged people, most of the richly dressed teenagers are generally not good in cultivation, at least at the level of the eighth level of the first body, as for the ordinary people in coarse cloth and winter clothes, there are basically very few people who can reach the passing line of the martial arts assessment.
And Zhu Yi is dressed in coarse cloth, so the middle-aged man doesn't even have the heart to look at him more, and he thinks in his heart that if he can reach the qualified line, it is already very good.
Zhu Yi felt the contempt of the middle-aged man, he was not angry, but took a deep breath, and then gathered his energy on his palms and pressed it on the stone mirror.
Almost instantly, the bottom of the stone mirror turned red, and then it directly passed the position of the peak of the primordial body. Then it turned orange again, and continued to rise, until it reached the scale of the fourth level of qi cultivation, and then stopped.
"Wow, he's so powerful, he's actually reached the fourth-level cultivation of qi!"
"Yes, among the people tested today, his cultivation is the highest. ”
"I'm afraid that this time he can directly join a certain sect without an assessment. ”
......
Before the middle-aged people could react, the other students in the assessment all talked about Zhu Yi's strength, and the school was extremely noisy for a while.
Several members of the major sects who were dozing off in the back were also attracted by the color on the stone mirror, and at the same time, they also had calculations in their hearts.
"No. 427, level 4 of qi cultivation, qualified!"
After the middle-aged man finished shouting, he looked at Zhu Yi's registration form and asked, "You just turned sixteen this year?"
Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Well, to be precise, it should have been half a month ago." ”
The middle-aged man showed a friendly smile to him and said: "My name is He Shan, if the little brother has anything about the assessment these days, you can come to me at any time, I will live in the inn opposite the school field." ”
"Nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft, it seems that this He Shan has taken a fancy to my potential and wants to win me over. ”
If it was an ordinary teenager, he really couldn't guess He Shan's intentions. But this kind of trick is just pediatrics for Zhu Yi, but he still nodded and said, "It's good, Brother He, I wrote it down." ”
In the eyes of everyone who were either envious or respectful, Zhu Yi led Xiaowei to the outside of the school field.
"Little brother, please stay. ”
Suddenly, there was a shout from behind Zhu Yi, he turned around and saw someone waving to him in the lobby behind the school grounds.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yi still walked over and asked the man, "Is there anything wrong?"
The person who beckoned to Zhu Yi was a white-haired old man, and he asked with a straight face, "Boy, are you willing to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy directly?"
Zhu Yi was shocked, he had heard of the name of the Heavenly Dao Academy when he knew that there was a martial arts assessment, not for anything else, just because this Heavenly Dao Sect was the strongest academy on the continent, and there was no one.
And Zhu Yi participated in the martial arts assessment this time, and the target college he was scheduled to be was also the Heavenly Dao Academy. But he shook his head and refused the old man's invitation, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xie Lu Xie seniors are kind, I want to participate in the martial arts assessment and be admitted to the academy in a dignified manner, not as a special case." ”
The old man thought that his direct invitation to Zhu Yi to join the Heavenly Dao Academy would make him get carried away with excitement, and then he would be grateful to him.
But he never expected that Zhu Yi would refuse, which made him suddenly feel a big loss of face, he slapped the table and said: "Boy, don't be so ignorant, do you think that when you reach the fourth level of qi cultivation at your age, you can empty your eyes?"
"Hmph, it's you who have nothing to look at! Put on a lofty posture and invite me into the academy, as if you are giving me alms, if I agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise my head for the rest of my life!"
Zhu Yi thought about it, these words still didn't come out after all, he still said without humility or arrogance: "It has always been my dream to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy, but it is my mother's last wish to win the first place in the martial arts assessment, and I ask my seniors not to be surprised." ”
Since this old man was able to let Zhu Yi enter the academy without passing the martial arts assessment, it obviously showed that his status was not bad, and Zhu Yi did not need to offend a person who could not afford to offend for the sake of momentary anger.
From another point of view, since this old man can invite him, the starting point is good, but maybe he has been in a high position for a long time, and everyone he sees has this face.
After all, in this world, only people of equal strength can talk on an equal footing.
"Oh, okay, okay, old man Lin, don't scare children with a strained face all day long. ”
Suddenly, a young woman sitting behind the old man stood up with a smile, she walked up to Zhu Yi's side and asked, "Are you sure to refuse Old Man Lin's invitation?"
The woman's voice, which sounds soft and intimate, is mixed with some coquettish tones. Zhu Yi followed her voice, looked at the woman slightly, and was stunned for a moment.
Beautiful!
Seeing her, such a word suddenly popped up in Zhu Yi's mind, because this woman has a face that makes the vast majority of the world's most beautiful women jealous, but it gives people a feeling that they can only be watched from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
However, Zhu Yi came back to his senses quickly, and he nodded and said, "I admit that although I am very excited, I still hope to be able to pass the martial arts assessment and enter the Heavenly Dao Academy." ”
The young woman giggled and said, "Interesting, interesting, it's the first time I've met such an interesting child, in this case, as long as you can enter the Heavenly Dao Academy with the first place, I will personally serve as your mentor in the future." ”
The veterans of the academy in the hall of the school were all shocked when they heard her promise this, and they all exclaimed: "Feng Tianjiao, you are going to make an exception to accept apprentices!"
