In the Celestial Empire, the Sword Boy Contest is a grand event held every three years, which has attracted much attention and is unprecedented.

In this world, the sword is the main thing, and the sword is respected, and many big families or forces pay great attention to the foundation when cultivating their children, and enhance their cultivation and comprehension of kendo by allowing the qualified children of the family to learn all aspects of knowledge.

This is a very enlightened approach for the wise.

Therefore, this is not a barbaric country, only full of violence and killing and fighting, at least his civilization cannot be compared with the poverty and backwardness of those races and tribes in some wild places on this continent, and the barbarians who are extremely lacking in thought and cognition.

It is precisely because the country has civilization, so many families or sects with some heritage will pay attention to comprehensive development in many aspects, whether it is kendo, business management, politics, military and other fields, they are all talents, which is also the main reason why they can stand tall in the world and inherit a long history.

Therefore, with these historical inheritances of civilization, in order to develop the long-term development of the country, it is natural to develop education and educate the world to know etiquette and abide by the law, so as to facilitate the implementation of government decrees and laws by the state, so that the people can be happy and the country will prosper, so the new type of organization of the university was born.

However, according to the current social situation, this is a world dominated by swords, and there are many families or sects that have developed and grown, and they have a long history.

Because they have mastered most of the high-level kendo exercises, and their strength is strong, and they only contribute some low-level exercises to the country to cultivate and absorb talents from the common people, so the kendo exercises that are widely popular and widely spread in society are always inferior to these families and sects that have absolute resources, and they are still relatively weak.

The state has no way to deal with these forces, but it still has to rely on these powerful forces to stabilize the country's position on the mainland, which is a contradictory but interdependent relationship.

This is similar to the ratio of the relationship between the rich and the poor, the vast majority of a country's wealth is in the hands of two or three percent of the people, and the remaining eighty percent are still the common people.

Generally, there are many branches of wealthy families, and the descendants of the family are prosperous, so most of them belong to the ruling class, and the common people must rely on these forces and do things for them if they want to survive.

And those sects also provided a good platform for the development of these mass classes, and after absorbing a large number of outstanding talents among the people and small and medium-sized families, they gradually developed and grew up after vigorous training, which formed the distribution pattern of power on the continent of the dynasty and the yuan, which was mainly dominated by clans and sects.

It is the royal family, in fact, it is also the highest ruling class and inevitable product of the combination of the clan and the sect, and the combination of some forces, and their strength is beyond doubt.

In order to consolidate the interests of the imperial power and the ruling class, or the interests of the state, some large, medium and small sectarian schools scattered all over the country have naturally become a kind of talent reserve base serving the country, and naturally they must be concerned and protected.

However, because these sectarian schools are developing and growing, after a certain extent, they may also form a sectarian force, although they still serve the ruling class, but after they develop and grow, they may become a sect of reading, gradually breaking away from the control of the ruling class, forming a potential threat, and they will naturally be subject to the control of the ruling class.

Therefore, in order to better control the development of this new type of sect organization, the ruling royal family has formulated a hierarchy for these sect schools, and it is not easy to establish such sect schools.

This must be a person who is trusted by the royal family, has a certain amount of prestige, seniority, financial resources, and strength, and has been examined in many ways, to be qualified to establish a sectarian school.

Generally speaking, it is mostly started by the specifications of the middle school, and after it has developed to a certain level, and has achieved a certain prestige and reputation, it can be evaluated and approved by the royal ruling class before it can be eligible to apply for promotion to the university education school, and the ultimate national education school.

Of course, the limitation of this level of education is that the middle school can only recruit students within the territory of a few cities, while the large education can recruit students nationwide, and the national education school can face many countries.

Moreover, the elite talents cultivated by the Chinese education are not qualified to stay as their own talent reserves, and can only be allocated and accepted by the large education institutions, and so on, and then the national education institutions will give priority to selecting and receiving, and finally enter the ruling class to serve them, and the state restricts the development of sectarian schools through this educational hierarchy.

But among them, there is another situation, that is, after the middle school is promoted to the big school, if the big school is qualified and strong, it can also be restructured into a sword academy school, which is specially designed to train kendo talents for the country, which is more professional, and can also avoid the right of the state school to intervene.

Therefore, all organizations that have been promoted to a large academy want to be able to transform into a sword academy academy, and they don't want to be restricted by the national academy anymore, but it is not an easy task to restructure the sword academy, and it also has to go through some investigation and review.

In the land of the nineteen states and four islands of the Celestial Empire, there is basically one in one state, and there are only one or two large schools in one state, and there are only six in the country, nineteen to twenty-four middle schools, and two to three national schools, which constitute a pyramid-like hierarchy, so the competition is also quite fierce.

It's a long story, in fact, so many sects and schools gathered in Tianfang Yanjing to participate in the triennial Sword Boy Competition, and there were not a few people in the entire Yanjing who came to participate, not to mention those who came from all over the world to watch the competition.

After all, this kind of large-scale event is a good opportunity for learning and communication, naturally many people, including young and middle-aged people and major forces, are naturally not willing to miss it, and this kind of large-scale event is only for teenagers under the age of eighteen, and there is a big difference from the Sword Pavilion's Sword Conference, although the level of the competition is not high, but to see the emergence of some young talents, it is also a very important event, after all, it is a talent, in this talent-based society, which party does not need, it is natural to start from the doll, and the focus is.

...... The carriage walked through the wide, but still somewhat crowded streets, not very fast, and could even be described as turtle speed.

Nie Lin was sitting in the carriage at this time, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the grand scene of the crowd outside, but his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, in fact, he was quietly listening to some of the general information that Lu Xueyan told him, so that he had a more intuitive and profound understanding of the existence of this kind of sect and school.

In his previous life, Nie Lin had never paid attention to these things, so he didn't know anything about the general situation of this sect school, and after Lu Xueyan's narration, he really understood how eager Lu Zhaonan was for Tianlu Academy to be promoted to a great school.

Just imagine, a sectarian academy with great development potential, because of the rules of this sectarian academy, cultivates a large number of elite talents every year, and he can't keep it, but he makes a wedding dress for others, and the kind of depression and helplessness can be imagined, and Lu Zhaonan's establishment of Tianlu Academy also hides other secret plans that are not known to the world, this kind of urgent mood can be even more experienced by Nie Lin.

After all, the current continental pattern is not a chaotic era or a war-torn era, and if you want to establish a sectarian force and develop it, it will be difficult to reach the sky, and if it is passed on through the family, it will take too long.

Therefore, it can only be started through this kind of sectarian institution that is recognized and allowed to be established by the state, and slowly spread from a small flame to the momentum of a prairie fire, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of establishing sectarian power, so that many unnecessary troubles can be avoided, and it is indeed a good development strategy.

There were too many people, and the carriage headed towards its destination at dawn, and it was not until three o'clock that it finally came to the outer gate of the National Church Courtyard.

This is also because the carriage that Lu Xueyan and Nie Lin were riding in was Lufu, and they were only opened to the green channel after waving the banner of the participating party.

This is the side gate of the Taiyuan, when Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan got out of the carriage, they saw many army soldiers guarding the aisles in various places, blocking the area near here, and only allowing the people participating in the competition to pass, compared to the situation of the people outside, this place is much better.

Nie Lin and the others did not enter the courtyard immediately, and after waiting for about a stick of incense at the door, they saw a carriage stop at the door, and Yang Yuxiao got out of the carriage.

Seeing that Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan arrived a little earlier than him, Yang Yuxiao bowed slightly and said: "I thought that there were too many people today, the road was too congested, I would be one step ahead of you, it turns out that you are earlier than me, I am really sorry to keep you waiting!"

"It didn't take long for us to go in, there is a place for us to rest and rest temporarily, let's talk there again!" Lu Xueyan said, and stepped into the courtyard first, with Nie Lin and Yang Yuxiao following.

When Nie Lin and the three arrived, they saw many people standing together in piles in the courtyard, including men and women, discussing the competition, and they were all observing each other and looking around, so as to have a general understanding of the people who might become competitors.

However, when Nie Lin and the three of them entered the courtyard, they immediately ushered in the eyes of many people, most of them were the kind of amazing gaze cast on Lu Xueyan, even those girls, they all looked at Lu Xueyan, looking a little envious, and their eyes kept wandering on Lu Xueyan's body.

"Miss Snowsmoke?"

At this time, a dignified young man walked quickly from the crowd with a little surprise on his face, and came to Lu Xueyan's face, with a smile on his face that seemed to be an old friend reuniting after a long absence, and said, "Miss Xueyan, do you remember me, when we were children, we went to school in the same school?"
