Inside the Zhiwu Hall, it was dim, the windows and walls of the room were covered with black curtains, and an oil lamp on the table was faintly bright.

Recording officer Zou Zheng sat at the table, rubbed his somewhat sore wrist and said: "Fortunately, there is a tester made by Mr. Dean with extraterrestrial meteorites, otherwise, just like back then, it would be a lot of trouble to test the students' talents."

Feng Shaotang, the hall master of Zhiwu Hall, sat not far away, he took a sip of hot tea in his hand, sighed and said: "Old Zou, the number of students has plummeted this year, and talent is such a thing, ordinary people don't say that they have it, Longmen Academy...... Maybe it's not much better than ours here! ”

He said this just to comfort himself, since the imperial court approved the establishment of Longmen Academy, an invisible pressure is increasing day by day, the same as the Kyoto Academy of the Great Chen Empire, with the support of the imperial court intentionally or unintentionally, only the number of students enrolled, Longmen Academy has stabilized the Zhixing Academy. It seems to be an indisputable fact that Zhixingyuan is declining, but everyone is reluctant to mention it.

"How? How did we get this morning? Feng Shaotang poured another cup of tea and asked, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, only he heard him sigh softly again.

"A total of four hundred and thirty-six students have been tested, and only twelve of them have cultivation talents, including that Gu Guogong, which is much worse than last year!" Zou Zheng shook his head and sighed.

"Oh? That Gu Qingzhou swinger also has a talent for cultivation, which is a bit surprising, but it's a pity......" Feng Shaotang shook his head and said: "Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer students with outstanding cultivation talents, and the talent has been adjusted to zero, is it really God who bless me Zhixing Academy?"

While the two were talking, a chubby student walked in outside. The little fat man quickly adapted to the dimness of the room, he looked left and right, seemed to be very curious about everything, and when he saw Zou Zheng sitting behind the table, he saluted respectfully.

"Put your hands on it, relax your mind, and take a deep breath!" Zou Zheng pointed to a square table in the middle of the room. On the table, there was a hexagonal round tray made of unknown material, and on the round tray was a gray stone ball the size of a watermelon, and he said to the little fat man expressionlessly.

The little fat man put his hand on the stone ball as he said, and as soon as his palm touched, the stone ball emitted a hazy white light, and as he breathed, the stone ball gradually brightened, and finally emitted a bright light, illuminating the whole room.

"What's your name?"

Feng Shao stood up from the chair and asked in unison with Zou Zheng, and the little fat man realized that there was still someone in the room, and took a step back in fright.

The stone ball suddenly became dim, and a timid voice sounded in the darkness: "Student...... Fan Dazhi! ”

"Good!" Feng Shaotang clenched his fist with one hand and hit the palm of the other, looking very excited.

The shining light just now shows that this student's qualifications are excellent. The tests of Zhixing Academy over the years, such as the dazzling one in front of him called Fan Dazhi, are really rare. Unexpectedly, this little fat man is not good-looking, but he is extremely talented, and when he reports to Cheng Yuanshou after the end, he must be very happy.

Feng Shaotang thought happily in his heart that Zou Zheng had solemnly written Fan Dazhi's name on the roster, and asked in detail about his age, household registration, specific residence and other issues before letting him out.

Feng Shaotang picked up the teacup, drank it all, got up and poured a cup of hot tea, calming down his excitement. I suddenly felt a urge to urinate, and I was about to go to the toilet, when another student walked in outside the door.

This young man has beautiful eyebrows, a straight figure, and a confident look on his face, which makes people look at it. Feng Shaotang held back his urge to urinate and sat down again, picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea foam floating on it, and decided to go after reading this.

"Put your hands on it, relax your mind, and take a deep breath!" Zou Zheng pointed to the gray stone ball as usual, his face expressionless.

He An touched the stone ball with his right hand, took a deep breath, the stone ball did not react at first, and then slowly oozing out a pale yellow light, the color became darker and darker, and finally the stone ball became bright yellow, crystal clear, like the rising sun, and the whole room illuminated directly was extremely bright and dazzling.

With a "snap", the teacup fell to the ground and fell into pieces, Feng Shaotang jumped up in shock again, and he couldn't care about the hot tea splashing on his feet.

"What's your name?" Feng Shaotang's voice was short, and his chest rose and fell violently and asked.

"Student He An!" The young man replied lightly, his eyebrows and eyes shining with dazzling bright yellow light, and he looked more and more handsome and extraordinary.

He removed his palm, and the light of the stone ball gradually dimmed, and the room fell into darkness again.

Zou Zheng's hand holding the pen trembled, wrote the boy's name on the roster, asked some questions in detail, and watched the boy turn around and walk out of the door, let out a long breath, but his eyebrows were full of shock and joy.

"Lao Zou, I've found a treasure! Treasure found! Feng Shaotang slapped the table and laughed, and said with a serious face for a moment: "Remember! You must not say this to anyone, you go out and explain, the test is over today, and it will continue tomorrow! Zou Zheng nodded yes.

Feng Shaotang carried his robe, went to the thatched house first, and hurried to the head of the courtyard.

Feng Shaotang's heart was like a stormy wave, it was the first time he saw such a dazzling and dazzling light like the blazing sun, and it was also the first time to see such a talented student, you must know that the best student test of Zhixing Academy in the past ten years is only a place where the light shines, and this student named He An test stone ball is dazzling, and he can't open his eyes with the bright yellow light, and his martial arts achievements in the future will be limitless.

Cheng Ziya, dressed in black clothes, sat in front of the window of the pavilion at the head of the courtyard, carrying the wine jar in his left hand and a sea bowl in his right hand, and poured it hard.

He was slightly drunk, his face was slightly red but his eyes were bright at this time, but he looked at the remnant snow outside the window and occasionally lost his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Feng Shaotang ran up to the pavilion in a frenzy, saw Cheng Ziya through the window at the corner of the stairs, waved his arms and shouted: "Courtyard head!" Cheng Yuan's head! ”

With a "squeak", the door opened.

"Hall Master Feng, what's the alarm?" Cheng Ziya strode out, Feng Shaotang ran to stand in front of him, stroked his chest and gasped a few times, and told him what he had just seen.

Cheng Ziya was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Old Feng, we have found a treasure!" Hahaha...... Well done! Let's go, go tell my brother! ”

He patted Feng Shaotang's shoulder with a smile, put his hands behind his back, turned his head and walked towards the Academy.

In the Zhizhi Palace, Wei Zhilin was sitting by the desk with a book in his hand, and the door of the hall was suddenly opened, first a head poked in, then retracted, and then stepped out with a long leg, revealing half of the dark black clothes.

"Ziya! You've been the head of the hospital for many years, and you're still so unstable? Wei Zhilin smiled dumbly, put down the scroll, and said loudly.

"Haha! Senior brother, I have great news for you! Cheng Ziya stepped forward and laughed loudly with one hand on his waist.

"Oh...... What is it to be so happy? Wei Zhilin asked with a smile.

Cheng Ziya pulled in Feng Shaotang, who was standing outside the door, and asked him to explain the situation in Zhiwutang in detail just now.

Wei Zhilin's face changed sharply after hearing this, and he said, "How many people know about this matter?" Don't spread the word! ”

Cheng Ziya smiled proudly and said: "Except for the three of us here, only Zou Zheng, who is making records, knows, senior brother, rest assured!" ”

"That's great!" Wei Zhilin nodded, secretly thinking in his heart that when the teacher asked me to pay more attention to sharpening these two little guys, he must have already noticed their identities. I didn't expect that He An's talent was so amazing, there had not been such a talent in Zhixing Academy for many years, and I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this.

The news of He An and Fan Dazhi's amazing test results spread among a limited number of people in the top management of Zhixing Academy, and in the following days, the two received special attention.

The teacher of the Xingyuan specially taught the two of them about the cultivation of exercises, experiences and practical skills, and Chen Sangyu also made a special trip to teach the two of them many basic theories about cultivation in detail.

He An could finally confirm that the pure void qi he had felt in the past was indeed the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. Fan Dazhi was also able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, although it was not as fast as He An, but to everyone's surprise, he was able to mobilize his spiritual perception and release a faint wisp of divine consciousness.

The two of them have the guidance of a famous teacher, and they make rapid progress every day, which makes Chen Sangyu amazed.

Bi Yunfei was very depressed, and the test results came out, and among the four people in the same room, he was the only one who had no cultivation talent. Gu Qingzhou is a prince of the country, and he feels that he should become a cultivator.

But why can He An and Fan Dazhi, who are also from the same poor background as themselves, become cultivators? He has been poor since he was a child, worked hard to die in the dust, and went through hardships to become the only talent in the county who was admitted to the Zhixing Academy. I am smart, diligent, self-motivated, and highly perceptive, but why is God so unfair? But I don't have the talent for cultivation?

He wandered in the uninhabited bamboo forest in the mountain behind Zhixingyuan, he broke a bamboo branch and whipped wildly, venting the resentment and unwillingness in his heart.

Time is like water, and the middle of winter is coming. In the Zhixing Academy, He An and Fan Dazhi were busy every day, studying the collection of hundreds of classics in the Academy of Literature, and following the teachers to study and practice, and their lives were dull and fulfilling.

Before you know it, it's approaching the end of the year. Ding Wenruo would sometimes ask He An and Fan Dazhi for advice on some difficult problems in the collection of scriptures, while Han Chanjuan was relatively low-key, leaving in a hurry after school every day, and occasionally inviting He An and Dazhi out to eat.

"These two people are proficient in martial arts, and the true qi in their bodies is surging, and the student named He An is even more Danji mixed male, and he has such cultivation at such a young age, which is really amazing, I even doubt it...... Did this kid start practicing when he beat his mother's womb? What's even more strange is that these two people have practiced for many years of their own mental methods and loose hands, which are somewhat similar to my Zhixing Academy, and at the same time, they are also kneaded into the strengths of various sects in the world. I can't comprehend some of the mysteries, according to the two of them, they were taught by He An's uncle He Kui, it seems that this He Kui is not simple! ”

The person who spoke was Chen Sangyu, who was sitting in the Zhizhi Hall at this time, and Wei Zhilin and Cheng Ziya were sitting at the top.

Hearing his words, Wei Zhilin stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, Cheng Ziya's eyebrows jumped when he heard it, and his face was full of irrepressible joy.

Chen Sangyu continued: "Now that the two of them are making rapid progress, without competing with the true qi and without being crushed by the realm, He An can practice more than 100 moves with the Chuan Wu Sect without falling behind. The student named Fan Dazhi...... It seems that they have an unusual talent for manipulating the vitality of heaven and earth, as well as spiritual perception, these two people ...... I suggest that it's time to open the library cabinet to them and let them practice more advanced exercises! ”

"Good!" Cheng Ziya raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Senior brother, these two little guys are okay!" What do you think? ”

"Hmmm! What these two people lack now is only actual combat experience and the ability to adapt to the enemy, but these are things that cannot be taught and cannot be rushed, only in the future, they will walk the world and slowly sharpen themselves. As for the master named He Kui, Ziya can send someone to investigate, maybe...... This person has an old relationship with my Zhixing Academy, so according to what Sang Yu said, let them enter the library building......" Wei Zhilin muttered.

All students who have the talent for cultivation in Zhixing Academy, who have practiced to a certain extent, can enter the library to choose the exercises that suit them.

There are a lot of books in the library, and the national teacher put all the classics and martial arts secrets of the Xuanwen Hall of the Imperial Palace of the previous dynasty into the library, plus the collection of his own life, as well as his own experience records, are also included.

When He An and Fan Dazhi entered the library building, they were completely shocked by the collection of books in front of them. The huge library building has two floors, full of books, rows of neat bookshelves, and even stacks of books are stacked in the corners, some of which have been yellowed, some are covered with dust, and the two of them are even a little overwhelmed when they walk in the sea of books.

Under the guidance of the teacher in the library building, the two saw rows of bookshelves pasted with paper labels, which were divided into categories such as "The Art of Marching and War", "The Law of the Inner Family", "The Law of the Outer Gate", "The Complete Book of Weapons", "The Law of Fists and Feet", etc., and there were detailed paper labels of various classifications when they walked into the bookshelf.

Most of the students of Zhixing Academy are learning the "Zhixing Mental Method", and the "Zhixing Mental Method" created by the national teacher Li Xingzhi can be cultivated to the peak of the true self, which is already a first-class mental method in the world.

When he came to the library, he needed to choose exercises, He An picked for a long time and chose a book of "Amazing Sword Technique", but Fan Dazhi was not interested in weapons, he looked around for a long time and chose a book of "Yuan Qi Transformation".

The two of them looked around in the vast library building like this, picking and choosing for a long time, and the teacher in charge of the library did not prohibit it, but only reminded the two that the time in and out was limited.

When he was about to leave, on an old bookshelf in the corner, Fan Dazhi found several broken books, one of which had a turtle on the cover, and he picked it up curiously and flipped through it.

"This "Xuanwu Sutra" is a fragment of the exercises collected by Mr. Guoshi, from the Buddhist supernatural powers, it is said that the cultivation to the great force is invulnerable, if you like it...... You can also take it to practice, but the fragment is a fragment, and whether you can cultivate it or not depends on your creation! The teacher reminded at the right time.

Fan Dazhi read it, the content was obscure, but it seemed to be an exercise related to the operation of heaven and earth's vitality, so he happily put it into his arms.

He An read it for a long time, and then picked up a tattered booklet on the shelf, and after only reading a few pages, he didn't hesitate to take it into his pocket.

The corner of the teacher's eyes jumped in the library building on the side, and he couldn't help but remind him loudly: "The one you are holding is a fragment of "Shocking Finger", which only has a few tricks such as "Shocking God" and "Killing Immortals", it is said that no one has successfully cultivated for hundreds of years, are you sure you want to use it to cultivate?" Young man, entering the cabinet of the library building, the opportunity is rare, no wonder I didn't remind you! ”

He An smiled, thanked the teacher, and the two walked out of the library building, and just walked down the wooden ladder of the library building, a person downstairs came to meet them.

"You are He An?" The man was burly and tall, half a head taller than the two, and asked condescendingly.

He An was stunned, looked at the stranger in front of him, and said indifferently: "It's He An below, I don't know...... What do you have for advice? ”

The man didn't speak, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which were two big characters - "War Book".
