Chapter 18 Gathering of Talents from All Directions

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Man, Wang Chongyang and the shopkeeper Sun all came to the county government early, the center of a city, the magnificent rooms are contiguous, covering an extremely wide area, and every key place is guarded by high-level soldiers in the realm of metamorphosis, solemn and solemn.

This is the center of Fengling County, the only center within a radius of more than 3,000 miles, and the greatest authority is gathered here, and the examination of Dongting Academy is held in this county magistrate's office.

With the certificate obtained after signing up yesterday, Wang Man and the three of them walked into the tall mansion gate, facing a vast square, with a radius of almost three hundred zhang, in the middle, with a high platform, a total of nine, and the innermost is a row of seats, which is very luxurious, obviously for the chief examiner, the county lord and all parties to prepare.

It's still very early now, there are not many people coming, and the people are sparse, Wang Man and the others are not conspicuous, and under the guidance of a high-level soldier in the Mortal Realm, they found a corner to sit down in the large seats under the high platform.

"Did you see it, the one sitting in the middle is the chief examiner this time, there are nine heavens in the realm of metamorphosis, I heard that he is a peerless powerhouse who has stepped into the eight heavens, even if it is a land of mansions, mountains and rivers within a radius of thousands of miles, there are not a few such terrible characters. Shopkeeper Sun pointed to Wang Man to the figure sitting in the middle of a row of seats, and said in admiration.

Wang Man stared intently, the person's body was shrouded in a layer of glow, and he couldn't see the shape clearly, and a powerful aura emanated, like the sun in the sky, bright and dazzling.

"Is this the powerhouse of Dongting Academy?" Wang Man's heart was hot, he had never seen such a powerful person, and the desire for Dongting Academy in his heart was a little stronger.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the mansion, Wang Man and the three of them were all attracted, and when they turned their heads, a young man in his twenties, with a cold arrogance and dignity in his expression, walked in surrounded by a group of middle-aged strong men.

He is full of purple hair, emitting purple light, and when he walks, he seems to be synchronized with the rhythm of the great heaven and earth, and the rumble gives people a kind of vibration above the mind, which is very extraordinary.

"That's Wu Changqing on the first day of Wuling Town!" someone exclaimed.

"Yes, I heard that when he was fifteen years old, he entered the Divine Origin Mountain Range alone and killed a high-level 'Storm Demon Wolf' of the Mortal Realm, which was extremely terrifying. ”

I remember that once the county lord saw him and commented that within ten years, his name could be a sensation in a place of rivers and mountains. ”

Wang Man's expression froze, Wu Changqing was only on the first day of the Wu family, a master at the peak level of the physical realm, and the village chief did not break through the previous level, he was an extremely terrifying opponent.

"Look, someone is here again, Zhao Lingyu!" The crowd gradually increased, and many Tianjiao characters also entered the scene, constantly causing a sensation.

"The ancestor of the Zhao family has done his best to cultivate, regardless of the consequences, he is the most powerful contender for the place in the East Ting Academy this time!"

Surrounded by the crowd, everyone exclaimed, Zhao Lingyu appeared, he was dressed in black, his demeanor was the same as Wu Changqing, there was a sense of dignity and pride, but there was a trace of indifference.

He didn't look away, listening to the admiration of the crowd and the sycophancy of some, but only a smile of disdain that was so small that it was almost invisible.

"Is it finally here? Wang Man clenched his fists and said softly. He has a great hatred with the Zhao family, he was insulted by Zhao Lingyu in Fang City before, and this attack on Tianmenxia almost lost his life, to say that there is no fire, it is impossible.

Suddenly, Zhao Lingyu seemed to feel something, paused slightly, turned his head in the crowd, and looked at Wang Man, his eyes were flat and respectful, but there was obviously a trace of surprise flashing.

"Humph!"

Wang Man's eyes suddenly burst into divine light, and there was a murderous aura, emitting a cold like a blade, the two looked at each other, although their temperaments were different, their momentum was actually up and down.

After Zhao Lingyu and Wang Man glanced at each other, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Wang Man's indiscretion, and then turned his head and ignored him.

"Who is he?" someone noticed something strange and pointed to Wang Man and asked.

"I don't know, it must be a kid from a remote mountain village, there are many people like that, they don't know the height of the sky, and if they are powerful in a small village, they feel like they are geniuses. Someone said disdainfully.

"That's right, every year there are some jokes like this, when they come on stage, they can't even catch a trick of those geniuses, and they are killed or disabled. The man next to him scoffed.

Wang Man's ears are very good, so he can naturally hear these discussions, and he just laughs at them.

Wang Chongyang said in a low voice on the side: "Xiaoman, when you meet Zhao Lingyu, you must be careful, this time among all people, he is the most ruthless existence, and those who fight against him are either dead or injured." Moreover, this Dongting Academy assessment can't help but live and die. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Chongyang, I'll be careful. Wang Man smiled.

After that, there were constantly geniuses from all directions and deep in the mountains, and their strength was very strong, although they were not as famous as Wu Changqing and Zhao Lingyu, but from the strength of their breath, it could be judged that they were definitely a difficult opponent.

For example, there was a young man riding a 'velociraptor dragon', and a child who was less than 12 years old with a three-foot mace, and that scene frightened many people at that time.

The seats under the high platform are gradually filled, and as far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people, and this vast square is almost crowded with people.

The chief examiner, the county lord, and the tycoons of all parties, such as the ancestor of the Zhao family and the ancestor of the Wu family, also came.

The chief examiner and other people present all arrived, walked in a tiger's step, stood up and stepped in, and actually crossed into the void, stepped on a piece of light, and came to the middle of the high platform.

He was not tall, but he stood there, his whole body was shrouded in brilliant light, and a powerful aura rolled out, as if a majestic mountain stood there.

Everyone exclaimed, obviously shocked by such a scene.

The examiner raised his hand and signaled quiet, everyone immediately fell silent, he nodded, and said: "My name is Guan Zhongshi, I am the chief examiner of Dongting Academy this time, I think everyone is impatient, the exam will start now, the rules are very simple, because only the first place can get a place in the academy, so, the two of them fight against each other, and they are eliminated round by round, and the final winner is my student of Dongting Academy." ”

Everyone didn't say anything, this rule, Dongting Academy had already issued a notice, and when registering, the logistics staff who arranged the competition this time had already arranged the order of the candidates' appearances, the opponents, and the lottery.

After the chief examiner Guan Zhongshi finished speaking, the county lord also walked on the high platform in the center, as the lord of a county, he naturally had to speak, it was nothing more than some clichΓ©s such as "Junjie", "Tianjiao" and "hard work", which were long and exhaustive, far less than Guan Zhongshi, and everyone had impatient looks on their faces.

He smiled, and saw that everyone was waiting impatiently, so he said loudly: "Exam, start!"

While!

A bronze bell was struck, and the sound echoed through the vast square where the sea of people gathered.

"It's finally getting started. ”

"The triennial event, Fengling County, is also recruiting students from this East Garden, which is quite grand. Everyone excitedly began to discuss.

"Hmph, my cub, this time I will definitely take the first place. A big man said, pointing to the boy holding a three-zhang long super mace, with a proud face.

"Young man, you are still too tender, your eyes are not vicious, it is clear that the young man riding the velociraptor has the most potential. An old man shook his head and said in a tone of elders teaching juniors. Obviously, he is the grandfather of the young man who rode the velociraptor horse.

"Dead old man, what do you say!" the big man was furious.

......

In the midst of the uproar, the examiner waved his hand, and nine scrolls suddenly appeared, hula and the wind rose sharply, and in the end, there were almost three sheets wide, with words on them, golden light, generous and bright.

"Go!" Guan Zhongshi let out a low sigh, and the nine scrolls flew to the nine high platforms respectively, hanging in the air, the handwriting was bright and dazzling, and everyone could clearly see that it was the candidate's name written on it.

Wang Man stared at it and found that on the high platform at the very edge, his name was written impressively, and the person who fought against him was named Qianshan Long.

"In this exam, a total of one hundred and thirty-two people participated, divided into sixty-six pairs, the two sides competed, and the winner advanced to the next round of competition.

"As for the rules of the game, everyone must know it, even if the opponent is beaten out of the field and landed, it is considered a victory, and if you are stunned and killed, it is also considered a victory, there are no rules, no means, no matter life and death!" Guan Zhongshi's voice was a little cold, echoing throughout the square, showing the cruel side of this game.

There are no rules, no means, no life and death.

Everyone nodded slightly, these rules Dongting Academy had already told everyone in advance, and no one was dissatisfied, because it was one of the five major academies, the cradle of the peak powerhouse of the Dongzhou Dynasty.

"I didn't expect to be on the first one. Wang Man smiled, stood up, and walked to the very edge of the high platform.

His opponent was already waiting for him, and it turned out to be the young man riding the Velociraptor Fire Dragon, the Thousand Mountain Dragon!

"You admit defeat, this war pet of mine, launch a frenzy, and will not stop without tearing the enemy apart. Qianshanlong looked at Wang Man in front of him, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he smiled.

Wang Man smiled faintly, and between his eyes, a trace of war intent emerged, and he said with a little excitement: "Admit defeat? This is not my character." ”

"Hehe, you're going to die ugly. The Thousand Mountain Dragon reached out and touched the scales of the Swift Fire Dragon.

The fierce fire dragon, three feet high, like a small mountain, covered with blood-red scales, emitting red light, and its eyes were filled with a wave of violence and bloodlust, roaring, hideous and vicious.

While!

Another bronze bell rang, and the spirits of everyone watching the game were shocked, and they knew that the game had officially begun.
