Elder Cheng Qian hadn't been paying attention to Ning Yan all the time, so when he suddenly saw that Ning Yan was already standing on the second level of the ladder, he was really shocked.

What's going on?

Guo Hu, who was rated as a fourth-level newcomer in the grading competition, seemed to take more time than Ning Yan from stepping on the first-level first-order ladder to ascending the second-level first-order ladder.

Elder Cheng's words also made all the high-level personnel of the academy on the high platform shift their attention to Ning Yan.

"This Ning Yan looks a little strong, hasn't he yet stepped into the innate realm?" Elder Wen Xiu, who was wearing a purple robe, frowned.

This Elder Wen Xiu is also one of the ruling elders of the Yangding Academy,

Among the huge Yangding Academy, the one with the highest status is undoubtedly the first mansion master.

The one second only to the first lord is the second lord.

The two masters of the mansion are the leaders of the Yangding Academy.

And under the two lords of the mansion are the five deans of the five major academies. In addition to the five deans, there are four deaconning elders. The status of the ruling elders is roughly equivalent to that of the five deans, but the division of labor is different and the responsibilities are different, but they all hold great power in their hands.

This year, the person who presided over the freshman entrance ceremony and assigned more than 200 newcomers to work in the five colleges was Elder Cheng Qian, one of the four ruling elders.

Under the five deans and the four ruling elders, they are ordinary elders. Every year, some ordinary elders will go to the seventy-two cities of Lingnan County to recruit new people to join Yangding Academy. The number of ordinary elders is still in the academy, and there are currently more than twenty in total.

Although the status of ordinary elders cannot be completely compared with that of the dean and the ruling elders, they actually have a lot of power. They went to various cities in the county area, and the lords of those cities would be polite and courteous.

As for the ordinary elders, there are more deacons. Deacons are further divided into college deacons and college deacons. Their job is to assist the deans or elders, and the nature of their work is similar to that of assistants.

Bai Zifeng and Tao Qing, two deacons who followed Chen Shouyun to Jiangbei City, were deacons of the academy.

However, even ordinary deacons have strong martial arts cultivation and are not bad.

Among the five academies, the disciples of the Upper Academy, who performed relatively well, had the opportunity to stay in the academy and serve as deacons after the completion of the five-year cultivation period. In the process of serving as a deacon, if the work ability is excellent, and the realm is slowly raised to the innate peak level, it is possible to be promoted to the elder of the academy.

This is not only the case with Yangding University, but also with the other five universities, and the process is similar.

Ning Yuzhong, a disciple of the Ning family in Jiangbei City, was also a student of the Xingnan Academy at first, and later successfully stayed in the school as a deacon. This time, Li Bing, the new elder of Xingnan Academy, went to various cities to recruit new people, and Ning Yuzhong went with him.

Dean of Shuiyue College said: "This son's performance is indeed a bit surprising. It stands to reason that he is a Ninefold Heaven Realm martial artist, and the Star Soul grade is so poor, it is not bad to be able to barely climb the second level of the Heavenly Ladder. But now, he easily climbed the second ladder. The time taken is also surprisingly short. ”

Another elder's eyes lit up and said, "Ning Yan, the chosen son, can't he have already stepped into the innate realm, right?" ”

Everyone looked moved.

Dean Qu Ying, whose face was a little gloomy, sneered and said, "He, a ringless star soul martial artist, can he step into the innate realm at the age of sixteen?" Elder Bao Zichun, you really dare to think about it. ”

The elder who had just spoken, his name was Bao Zichun, and he was a relatively young elder in the Yangding Academy.

Hearing Dean Qu Ying say this, Bao Zichun smiled awkwardly.

In fact, as soon as he finished saying that, he realized that he had lost his words.

How could that Ning Yan have already stepped into the innate realm?

Not to mention that he is a ringless grade star soul, even if he has an amazing six-ring grade star soul, at the age of sixteen, it is unlikely that he will become an innate martial artist.

Elder Cheng Qian's voice raised a few points and said, "You see, Ning Yan is still climbing the stairs quickly. Second-level, third-order, second-stage, fourth-order...... Second-order, sixth-order, seventh-order ......"

"Hey, this little guy is already standing on the seventh step of the second ladder."

The Elder's eyes widened a little.

Needless to say, the deans and elders of the academy standing on the high platform also saw the process of Ning Yan's climbing the ladder very clearly.

At this time, the expressions of these school bigwigs were a little weird.

Dean Wu Xue glanced at Qu Ying with her eyes, and when she saw the other party's constipated expression, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she couldn't hold back a heartfelt smile.

Elder Chen Shouyun didn't have any worries, and a smile had already bloomed on his face. He even wanted to make sarcastic remarks about the dean of Huoyan Academy.

What is tested in this Heavenly Ladder Grading Tournament is mainly the martial arts talent of the martial artist, and then the strength and will of his own realm.

Didn't Dean Qu Ying scold Ning Que as worthless before? Now, how to say it?

Although Ning Yan has not yet passed the second level to ascend the third ladder, his performance has already surpassed that of most newcomers to the academy!

Dean Fang Kun of Jinhui Academy took a breath and said loudly: "This Ning Yan is not as weak as he imagined!" To be able to do this, his martial arts talent is not bad. Even if you are directly admitted to the upper house, you can do it. ”

As he spoke, Dean Fang Kun looked at Qu Ying from time to time.

Three days ago, Dean Qu Ying drew Ning Yan and then took the initiative to give it up. Otherwise, Ning Yan would now be a disciple of the Upper Courtyard of Huoyan Academy, not a disciple of the Upper Courtyard of Tuyou Academy.

Dean Qu Ying felt Dean Fang Kun's eyes, and also heard that the other party meant something, and his already somewhat irritable mood became even more irritable.

His eyes widened and he said, "Dean Fang Kun, what do you mean by this?" Did you mean to say, I misjudged that kid? ”

Dean Fang Kun hurriedly smiled: "No, no, Dean Qu Ying, don't misunderstand, I'm just casually sighing." ”

Jinhui College ranks second among the five colleges, and to a certain extent, it can be said that the competition between Jinhui College and Huoyan College is the most intense. If it can replace Huoyan Academy, then he Jinhui Academy will be the first academy.

Dean Fang Kun, of course, it is unlikely that he will have a good relationship with Dean Qu Ying.

Qu Ying snorted coldly and said, "Second-level newcomer, what is it?" Most newcomers to the lower house can also be rated as second-level newcomers! Hehe...... It's just a second-level level, but you can get ten points for your college. The points obtained by Guo Hu of Huoyan Academy alone are as good as a hundred second-level newcomers! ”

This dean of Huoyan Academy has a lonely personality, and he will not easily admit that he is blind.

Moreover, Guo Hu has finished the qualifying competition and has been rated as level four. What's the pity of missing that little peace?

Elder Cheng Qian suddenly spoke: "Is this little guy about to prepare to pass the second level of the ladder......
