Two days later, the triennial Longteng Academy exam was held in the North Stygian Square. The square had long been tightly sealed by the sergeants of the Red Fire Battalion, and not a single idle person could be seen.

In the middle of the square, a high platform towers into the clouds, a red gold throne is shining in front of the high platform, a person sits on the throne, thirty or forty years old, the face is like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a black robe body, it is one of the one hundred and eight inspection envoys of the dragon inlaid country, Longdong.

Behind the red gold throne, there are five silver-white chairs side by side, with Jiang Chen, the Marquis of the Northern Underworld, in the center, and the patriarchs of the four major families of Shi, Han, Jia, and Wang on both sides. Behind them are several rows of stone seats, and all the family patriarchs who are ranked under the rule of the Northern Marquis are all sitting and watching the ceremony.

In front of the high platform, there is a hexagonal nine-layer white jade altar with a radius of dozens of zhang and a height of about 100 zhang, and at the top of the altar stands a hexagonal treasure tripod with six sides, three legs, three ears, purple mangs all over the body, and mixed with thunder and lightning cloud patterns, which is one of the one hundred and eight imitations of the purple thunder tripod, the treasure of the dragon inlaid country, and the special treasure for the entrance examination of the Longteng Academy.

Around the altar, there were eight squares standing quietly in eight directions, all of which were hundreds of thousands of warriors and priests who had cultivated to the fourth order or above in the martial academies and divine academies under the rule of the Northern Hades Mansion.

Long Yan stood quietly in the square team due south and stared at Zi Lei Ding, from the first time he saw this thing, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, as if he had seen a long-lost relative, and the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant hanging on his chest suddenly became hot and trembled slightly, which also conveyed excitement to him.

This shocked Long Yan, and after careful consideration, he concluded that this Purple Thunder Ding might be related to his mysterious background, or it might be closely related to the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant. It's just that this is an imitation, and I don't know what it will be like to see the original. Fortunately, after he was admitted to the Longteng Academy, he should have the opportunity to contact the real Purple Thunder Ding, because it was in the Longteng Academy.

Just as he was thinking about it, Long Yan suddenly felt several cold gazes shooting on him, and looked up at the due east team that was shooting at him, and the five tyrants of the Northern Darkness led by Jiang Yi were staring at him with playful eyes, the corners of their mouths turned up, revealing a gloating expression.

Long Yan pursed his lips and returned their contemptuous looks, and was about to withdraw his gaze, but he was attracted by the eight people around the five tyrants who closed their eyes and recuperated. The cultivation of these eight people is not lower than the sixth order of the foundation realm, and their temperament is cold, as if they are not things in the world. Long Yan was mixed up, and the temperament of these eight people was the same as that of the Shura secret agents who were killed by him two days ago.

"It seems that these eight people are the powerful people invited by the Northern Hades Mansion to deal with me that Chi'er discovered, and they are really Shura people, they really have nowhere to find them in the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. As long as they find a way to reveal the identities of these people, and confirm that they were invited by the Northern Hell Marquis, it will be ironclad evidence. Thinking of this, Long Yan couldn't help but get excited, and there was a look of eagerness on his face.

This look was seen by Jiang Yi in his eyes, and he was furious in his heart, and said secretly: I don't know what is alive or dead, let you live for a few more days first, and then the master will definitely not let you die happily, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart.

The reason why Jiang Yi hated Long Yan so much was not because Long Yan killed his own brother, nor because Long Yan was against the Northern Underworld Mansion, the root cause was still on Feng Xiaowan. Ever since Jiang Yi saw Feng Xiaowan and felt that Feng Xiaowan had a good impression of Long Yan, the thought of killing Long Yan in his heart was churning and torturing him all the time.

Because in Jiang Yi's opinion, Feng Xiaowan is the woman he Jiang Yi is looking for, and of course no one can touch it. It's just that Feng Xiaowan has always been indifferent to him, treating him, the little marquis, like air, but secretly sending autumn waves to Long Yan, which he absolutely can't tolerate, not to mention that in his eyes, Long Yan is still a waste who can't cultivate to a high level.

If it weren't for the laws and regulations of the Dragon Pavilions and his father's major events, he would never have only injured Long Yan, but had already killed Long Yan, and he might not have waited until now.

Long Yan didn't see Jiang Yi gritting his teeth, at this moment, he had already withdrawn his gaze and looked at the Purple Thunder Ding on the white jade altar. Just now, the purple thunder tripod suddenly burst into purple light, and the thunder and lightning cloud patterns on the tripod traveled around, and the nine nights of anger rushed away.

The attention of everyone in the square was attracted, and the vision of the Purple Thunder Ding appeared, which meant that the examination of the Dragon Teng Academy was about to begin, and tens of millions of warriors and priests in the one hundred and eight princes ruled by the four kings under the Dragon Emperor would be selected by the Dragon Teng Academy at the same time.

In the end, the number of people who could pass the exam was only a fixed 10,800, plus the children of the royal family, the royal family and other nobles, and the total number of students enrolled in the Longteng Academy every three years was only 12,000, and the fierce competition could be imagined.

Longteng Academy is the top academy among the nine academies in the Tianyuan Continent, once you enter Longteng Academy, it not only means that you have the opportunity to leap into the Dragon Gate and become an upper-class nobleman, but also have the opportunity to contact the Immortal Martial Avenue until eternal life.

And if he loses the election, he can only cultivate in the ordinary martial arts and immortal courtyards set up by the four kings and the one hundred and eight princes, which means that he will not have a chance with the immortal martial avenue in this life, and will eventually be drowned in the red dust.

The inspection on the high platform made Longdong see the Purple Thunder Ding's movements, his eyes were full of light, and he stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, the Purple Thunder Ding has started, the auspicious time has come, and the Longteng Academy exam has officially begun." This exam is also different from the past, in order to prevent the infiltration of alien races, starting from this time, the first stage of the verification of the divine soul has been changed from manual to purple thunder tripod investigation, if it is a foreign race, it will be killed on the spot. ”

After a pause, Long Dong's eyes scanned the audience, as if he wanted to find out the aliens lurking in it. Long Yan glanced at Jiang Yi's team out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the Shura people were still closed and unmoved.

Seeing that everyone in the audience was listening quietly, with a look of enthusiasm and expectation on their faces, Long Dong nodded his head with satisfaction and continued: "The rules of the first stage are very simple, there are eight levels of the Divine Soul Verification, and only those who pass can enter the second stage, if you fail in a certain level, it will be automatically ejected, which means that your exam will end early." ”

"Warriors and priests who have passed the first stage need to pay one hundred yuan crystals per person in exchange for a jade plate and jade talisman before entering the second stage of the exam. The jade plate is used to record and display results, and the jade talisman is used for protection and life-saving. ”

"The second stage of the exam is held in a separate space made up of a circle of laws, which also has the ability to identify and kill aliens. As for the rules of the second stage, it is also very simple, the warriors and priests who enter the circle will face off randomly in pairs, the winner will stay, and get the opponent's jade plate and the initial one point and ranking points, and the loser will lose the jade plate and be eliminated directly. ”

"The trigger condition for the end of the exam is that the time reaches thirty-six hours, or the number of remaining people in the circle reaches one hundred, the former top 100 samurai and priests will get a place to enter the Dragon Temple, and the latter will be given a place to enter the Dragon Temple for the 100 people who remain in the circle. ”

"In order to ensure the fairness of the exam, after each duel between each person, the jade talisman will automatically release an hour shield to protect the individual's recovery state. During this time period, any attacks are ineffective. As soon as the time passes, the protection function fails. ”

"The jade plate will display the points ranking of the top 100 in the formation in a timely manner, and if you meet someone much higher than your strength in the duel, you can stimulate the right of the jade talisman to be free of war, and the jade talisman will automatically and randomly teleport the exciter, but the right to be free of battle is only three times, please remember. ”

"If the right to be exempt from war is used up, you will feel worried about your life in the future duel, you can crush the jade talisman, and it will be automatically teleported out of the circle, but it also means that you have lost the qualification to enter the Dragon Teng Academy, so you must use it carefully. ”

"Of course, in principle, killing people is not allowed in the exam, but it is inevitable that there will be a loss of proportion in the duel, and once there is damage, it is also the destiny of heaven, and you must not seek revenge afterwards, otherwise it will not be tolerated by the law of the country. ”

"As for the rankings, the first stage will be based on the length of time passed, the second stage will be based on the number of points, and the final ranking will be based on the average of the rankings of the two stages. This ranking will be related to the resources you match after entering the Dragon Teng Academy, so you need to take each stage seriously. ”

"Finally, in order to encourage all the samurai and priests who participated, whether they passed or not, they would receive a bottle of Pei Yuan Dan that increased their strength and spiritual power. Can you listen up?" said Long Dong with a high octave voice.

After Long Dong finished speaking, he sat back in the golden chair. The leader of the Purple Armor Guard standing behind him then turned out and walked to the front of the stage and shouted: "Candidates, now the first stage of the exam will be held immediately, you will be teleported into the space inside this Purple Thunder Ding, everyone should not panic, just keep your mind." ”

After that, he raised his hand and raised a purple token and shook it at the Purple Thunder Ding, a purple light sprayed out and shot towards the Ding body, the purple light released by the Purple Thunder Ding was immediately several times stronger, and made a slight humming sound, and immediately released eight white lights from the mouth of the Ding, shining quickly towards the eight square teams, and in the blink of an eye, all these hundreds of thousands of people were collected into the Ding, and at the same time, the purple light of the Purple Thunder Ding was extinguished and returned to normal. The difference is that eight shimmering gems emerge from the tripod.

"My lord, I don't know what criteria this Divine Soul Test can have to judge which is stronger and which is weak?" Seeing that the first stage of the exam had begun, the inspection envoy sat back in his place, and Jiang Chen, the Marquis of the Northern Underworld, leaned over and asked respectfully.

Long Dong tilted his head slightly, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, this standard is the time to pass, all of them are qualified within twelve hours, those who pass within eight hours are excellent, and those who pass within six hours are geniuses." You look at the eight gems on the tripod, which correspond to the eight levels of the divine soul, when someone passes each level first, the gem will emit a strong light, which can also test the level of the top geniuses in your territory, and at the same time, the top geniuses of the one hundred and eight princes also have a horizontal comparison. ”

"Then according to the adults, what level should the dog belong to?" Jiang Chen continued to ask respectfully.

"Ling Gongzi is a rare five-element psychic body, and he definitely belongs to the ranks of geniuses, if there is no accident in this exam, the first should be that he can't escape. With his conditions, entering the Longteng Academy will also be regarded as a genius to focus on training, and your brother has a son like this, which is really gratifying. Longdong unexpectedly arched his hand to Jiang Chen.

"Oh, my lord, how dare you do this? Don't bother Xiaohou. With a flattered and terrified expression, Jiang Chen stood up and saluted Longdong.

Long Dong raised his hand and pressed it down, motioned for Jiang Chen to sit down, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of the Northern Underworld doesn't need to be like this, this is also the courtesy you deserve, but a little earlier." ”

Looking at Jiang Chen's shocked expression, Long Dong paused and continued: "There is another special feature of this exam, which will be announced after the test, and it will be revealed to you first. Due to the significant reduction in the number of places occupied by the children of the royal family, the royal family and other nobles this time, the Dragon Emperor decided that the first place in the preliminary examination of the region to which the one hundred and eight princes belong this year will directly enter the upper courtyard of Longteng Academy, and in addition, each district can also guarantee a student with excellent qualifications and potential, who is not bound by the ranking, and also directly enters the upper courtyard. What does this mean, presumably the Marquis of the North Underworld should be very clear in his heart, right?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be ecstatic while being shocked, the upper courtyard of the Dragon Teng Academy, also known as the courtyard within the courtyard, can be said to be a concentration camp for geniuses, and it can also be said to be the reserve force of the ruling class of the Dragon Pavilion, and the resources it can enjoy can definitely rank first among the nine countries.

The number of places in the upper courtyard will not exceed 2,000 at most, and it has always been monopolized by the children of the nobility and the people in the purple thunder list, and it has never been open to candidates for the preliminary examination.

If Jiang Yi can enter the upper court, maybe the idea of unifying the Tian Yuan Continent in the future will really become a reality, and at that time, if he leads the entire human race to destroy the Shura clan and the demon clan in turn, who will care about their current traffic with the Shura clan's past? Isn't history often written by the strong and the victors?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's face glowed, and he stood up again and walked in front of Longdong and whispered deeply: "Thank you for your cultivation, the dog will make achievements in the future, and I will not forget the grace of the adult." In addition, at the end of the exam, there is also a copy of Cheng Yi, and please receive it from adults. ”

"It's easy to say, in addition, I heard that in addition to Ling Gongzi, there are four outstanding young people in this Northern Underworld City, and this other recommended place is to choose among them, but whoever chooses depends on the final results?" Long Dong smiled understandingly.

Jiang Chen turned around and whispered this information to the four major families, and instructed them that no matter who was selected for the recommended quota, they should prepare a filial piety to send to the inspection envoy, because the inspection envoy was also one of the stewards responsible for resource allocation in the Longteng Courtyard.

The patriarchs of the four major families were overjoyed when they heard this, and just wanted to inquire in detail, they were interrupted by the exclamations that erupted from the viewing platform behind them, and when they looked up, they saw that the first of the eight shining gems on the Purple Thunder Ding suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and at the same time, hundreds of warriors and priests who were sitting or lying down appeared in the square around the Ding.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, it seems that the detection of this first level is not simple, there are hundreds of people who have been eliminated, according to the law from simple to difficult, it is estimated that at least half of the people will be eliminated after the eighth level. Although he knew that it would be impossible for the Northern Five Tyrants to be eliminated in the first level, Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at the hundreds of people who were kicked out of the square before he was completely relieved after confirmation.

After retracting his gaze, he was surprised to find that the inspection made the adult stand up, his eyes wide, staring at the first gem emitting white light on the Purple Thunder Ding, his face full of incredulity and shock. In his surprise, the urgent voice of the inspection envoy came from his ears: "Zijiawei, report the time for the exam." ”

The purple armor guard standing behind him replied without hesitation: "Report to your lord, the exam has just been carried out for half an hour. ”

"What? Half an hour? This is really incredible! Could it be that the Five Elements Psychic Body is really so against the sky?" Long Dong muttered to himself as he sat back in his chair, his eyes still fixed on the first jewel with the white light.

When Jiang Chen heard the words of the Five Elements Psychic Body, he couldn't help but step forward and ask softly, "My lord, do you think that the dog is the first to pass the first level?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Long Dong came back to his senses and said: "This five-element psychic body is once in a million years, it can be sure that Ling Gongzi is undoubted, but this speed is indeed too rebellious, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that he will be able to clear the customs in three hours at most." And among the peerless geniuses who had previously ascended to the upper realm of my Dragon Inlaid Country, the shortest clearance record was also four hours. It seems that Ling Gongzi's potential is huge, and if he cultivates it well, he can definitely be ranked among the peerless geniuses. I really can't imagine that I will have the opportunity to discover a peerless genius in my lifetime, it is really worth this life, haha......"

Jiang Chen also laughed when he heard it, and for a while, the news that Jiang Yi was a peerless genius spread, and the patriarchs of other families who watched the ceremony on the high platform congratulated Jiang Chen one after another, and hinted to Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally that they were subordinate, and even some families even sacrificed the banner of marriage, all of which did not want to share some benefits from it. In this regard, Jiang Chen forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and gave in one by one, and the face project was achieved very much.
