Ordinary civilian scholars, it is already a great luck to be able to enter a academy to study, if they can enter an institution like Xuancheng College, it will be the ancestral tomb smoking, I am afraid that this life will be willing for more than ten years.

But these things, for the children of the big family, are just low-hanging fruit, and there is nothing to cherish at all.

The dean continued: "This time, the Great Moon Dynasty has jurisdiction over thirty-five countries, as well as eighteen provinces of the Great Moon Dynasty, a total of fifty-three forces, one side of the force of eight people, should have sent four hundred and twenty-four people, these are only less than half of the number of participants, because the royal capital of the Great Moon Dynasty and the Yuehua Academy have more than five hundred contestants, this is still the result of some people traveling and not wanting to participate, in short, this competition, the total number of people will reach at least a thousand. ”

"Among these thousand people, I estimate that the weak forces will not send scholars under the lifting of people to participate, at least one or two hundred people have reached the late stage of lifting people or above! Although the number of people at the peak of lifting people is not much, it is not far less, and it is not impossible for only a master of the Gongsheng level to appear! If you want to stand out among these thousand people, you can weigh it yourself, how difficult it is!"

As soon as the dean said this, the others were directly dumbfounded, one or two hundred people reached the late stage of raising people or more, and there might even be a strong Gongsheng?

But immediately after the dean's words, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, what the dean said was: "The dynasty will conduct a trial before the competition, and some levels will be set up to eliminate about half of the people, and only those who pass this level will be eligible to enter the official competition." ”

"Half?" everyone opened their mouths wide, doesn't that mean that most of them are not even qualified to officially participate in the competition?

It's hard to represent Xuanguo once, if you don't even have a chance to show your face and are eliminated, it won't be a shame to be thrown to grandma's house!

When it is passed on to the family, where is this face placed? Isn't this a joke for other people of the same clan? You must know that except for Ye Qing, everyone present has a huge family, although they are all key cultivation objects in the family, but after all, they are not covering the sky with one hand, there are still so many competitors, if there is a joke, it is inevitable that there will be rumors and rumors.

"Three days later, we will set off after meeting at the Academy. You go back and prepare, and there will be a college tutor to lead you there, do you have any questions?"

Ye Qing was silent for a while and said, "Dean, I have a question. ”

"Well, ask. ”

"What's the prize?"

The dean glanced at Ye Qing with some surprise, and said, "First place, a high-level spirit book will be rewarded, the type is optional, as for the value of the high-level spirit book." I don't think I need to go into details. ”

"In addition to the high-level spiritual book, you will also get the title of Marquis of Feng canonized by the dynasty, although it is only a nominal title, but in fact, it is recognized by the human race, as long as it is on the territory of the human race, you can enjoy the treatment of a marquis. “

"The second and third places have a middle-level spiritual book, which is already a viscount, and the fourth to fifth place, and a low-level spiritual book, without a title, but there will be some spiritual rewards......;

Marquis......

Ye Qing clenched his fists.

The recognized marquis of the human race, Ye Qing now has territory and strength, what he lacks is a name, although Ye Qing is now a lord, but his title is still a small viscount, and it is only Xuanguo, whether the Xuanguo family recognizes it or not depends on the mood.

The title has caused Ye Qing a lot of trouble, especially when negotiating with other forces, he is often pressed by others, although Ye Qing's strength is there, others dare not underestimate him, but he is very unhappy.

The identity of a more important viscount has gradually been unable to meet the needs of the development of the territory, Ye Qing, the lord himself, is only the identity of a viscount, you call him to give his subordinates a higher title like this.

Although almost all of Ye Qing's subordinates were promoted by him, there is no need to doubt their loyalty, but after a long time, it will definitely not be conducive to the harmony of the territory.

Originally, Ye Qing wanted to talk to the lord of the country about the conditions and give himself a knighthood, but he didn't expect that there was a great opportunity in front of him now, and if he didn't win it, he would really be sorry for God.

You must know that even if you are the lord of Xuanguo, you are just a duke in the dynasty, and according to the regulations, the highest title that the lord of a vassal country can canonize is only a marquis, and it is not recognized by the outside world.

The marquis of the vassal country is treated like a viscount in the outside world, and there is no comparison with the marquis of the dynasty.

Seeing Ye Qing's excited appearance, the dean couldn't help but secretly think, this kid, he wouldn't want to rush to the first, although Ye Qing's strength is good, but if he wants to rush to the first, it is still too far away, so many masters at the peak of lifting people, and even masters at the level of tribute, how could a scholar who is in the late stage of lifting people (Ye Qing has always been a late stage of cultivation in the eyes of outsiders) take the first place.

From Xuanguo to the royal capital of the Dayue Dynasty, it is a million miles away, and ordinary people may not be able to reach it in a lifetime, but Ye Qing and they went to the dynasty this time, naturally it is impossible to go on foot, otherwise when they reach the dynasty, it is estimated that their beards will turn white, and they will talk about any competition.

Three days later, Ye Qing and the other eight people came to the gate of the academy early to gather, waiting for the instructor of the academy.

After all, the number of participants in the team is strictly limited, and bringing one more scholar is one less contestant, that is, one less hope.

When the sun just rose, the dean appeared at the gate of the academy on time, followed by the vice dean of that day, Ye Qing only knew that his surname was Pu, and he was a master of the Jinshi Wen, and the others didn't know.

"This competition was personally led by Vice President Pu and me. Now that everyone is here, let's go. ”

After the dean arrived, he didn't say much, just glanced at everyone lightly, and then waved his hand, and a flying boat appeared in the sky.

Flying boat, is a very special flying tool in the desolate world, although it is said that as long as the scholar arrives in Gongsheng, he has the ability to stay in the air for a short time, and after arriving at Jinshi, he can fly in the air, but it is okay to chase the enemy for a short time, if you want to use it to rush, it is very unrealistic.

When it is flying, the terrifying consumption of literary qi is not something that ordinary people can bear, not to mention the flying beasts that will appear in the sky from time to time, and the literati below the university are not very fast, that is, a little faster than riding a horse on the ground.

But the desolate world is so big, there is no fast means of transportation that is not moving, after all, there are still more people in the desolate world who can't fly, and even if they can fly, there are not many people who can fly for a long time.

So, the intelligent human began to invent the flying boat, a simple and practical means of transportation, in ancient times, the human race even had an upgraded version of the flying boat to form a terrifying air legion, in the battle with the hundred tribes made great achievements, once became the air overlord of the desolate world.

It's a pity that as a result of the two great changes in ancient times and the Middle Ages, the human race has lost the method of making flying warships, and the hundred tribes have not left even a wreck of a battleship for the human race.

The current flying boat is just a defective product depicted by the painters of the Terran according to the records of ancient books, and even the most powerful painters of the Terran are only able to draw the shape of the ancient warship, but cannot paint the charm and artistic conception.

However, this defective product also has the advantage of defective products, that is, it consumes very few resources, and the flying boat that has lost its combat ability can only maintain its flight, so the spirit coins required are not so much.

But this small consumption is compared with the battleship, which is still very terrifying for the average scholar, and now that there are few Terran painters, there are even fewer painters who can draw the flying boat, so the flying boat has almost become a symbol of status.

Xuanguo's flying boat was also obtained by the Xuan family through various means after gathering the efforts of several generations, otherwise, if there was no flying boat, Ye Qing and the others might have to set off with other tools more than a year in advance, so that they could catch up during the competition.

The cold wind whistling in the ears, the flying boat only took a few breaths to fly up to a thousand feet in the air, leaning over for a bird's eye view, the vast land is covered in silver, and the monotonous white extends to the end of the intersection of heaven and earth.

The flying boat in the dean's hand is obviously the lowest level, although the flight speed is okay, but it has this advantage, and the rest is basically improvised.

What's more, the space is not very sufficient, Ye Qing and the ten of them are standing in the flying boat, and they basically occupy more than half of the position, if there are more people, I am afraid that the flying boat will not be able to fit.

Because he didn't even have an energy shield, people had to endure the pungent cold wind when they rode on it, and Ye Qing and the others were all people with good physique, if they changed to some people with a slightly weaker physique or insufficient bearing capacity, they would be injured when they walked in such an environment.

Because the speed of the flying boat was too fast, the oncoming snowflakes hit their faces like blades, and Ye Qing and the others began to use their Wen Qi to prop up a layer of shields to block the wind and snow.

As time passed, the speed of the flying boat became faster and faster, and there were still a few flying beasts flying by, making a clear chirping sound, but because the speed could not keep up, it could only make a few calls from behind......
