"What kind of place is the Middle Courtyard?"

Fang Rui couldn't remember how many times he had asked such a question, but he had never received an answer.

Princess Qingfeng shook her head, and said quietly to Fang Rui: "I don't know the specific situation...... However, I heard that the middle court is more pure and refined than the outer court, and it is a place where the strength of the monks can grow rapidly. ”

"Is it growing rapidly?" Fang Rui thought about it, it was really in line with the style of Jixia Academy - the first three years of the outer courtyard allowed the children of both commoners and families to act alone, cultivating their foundation, and when they arrived in the middle courtyard, they began to grow their strength rapidly, and when they arrived in the inner courtyard, they would basically be able to take charge on their own......

It's just a mystery why the strength can be rapidly grown in the Intermediate Court.

Only when you enter the middle courtyard will you understand the mystery.

The area of the outer courtyard of Jixia College is very large, and the entire south side, including the splendid land, is within the scope of the outer courtyard, while the middle courtyard is neither as vast as the outer courtyard in area, nor as magnificent as the one hundred and one peaks surrounding the inner courtyard, which is a world of its own.

When Fang Rui and Princess Qingfeng, as well as the other academies who had normally advanced from the outer courtyard to the middle courtyard, left the outer courtyard together and came to the north of the academy where the middle courtyard was located, they had only one feeling—that is, darkness.

The gloomy gate, the gloomy sky, and, the gloomy middle-aged man standing at the gate of the inner courtyard.

Although it is said to be an academy, it is not shrouded by any walls, and the natural landform makes it have natural barriers in all directions, such as the mountains in the north, the dense forests in the south, and the long river in the east. Although there is a plain to the west, it is the garrison of the shadow guard of the academy's private army, and there is no danger that anyone will come in quietly.

The peak of the inner courtyard formed a large array of its own, and no one could sneak into it lightly.

The middle courtyard, on the other hand, is on the north side of the academy, enclosed by a wall as high as ten zhang, and there is only one gate for entry and exit, and the sky is also densely covered with prohibitions, even if a monk flies through the air, he will not know what kind of situation is in the middle courtyard.

And at this time, the gloomy middle-aged man who greeted them at the gate was none other than the dean of the middle court, the monk of the Nine Grades of the Earth Department, and the master of the Twilight Mountain.

Unlike the Venerable Listening to the Rain, the Venerable Man of the Twilight Mountain was not tall and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, and from the outside, he did not look at all like a monk who had the best defense in the Five Elements.

When the Venerable Master of the Twilight Mountain opened his mouth, Fang Rui found that the three deans of the academy were all a little strange, listening to the Venerable Rain who looked like a pig killer, but spoke softly; the Venerable Evil Moon had a red face and a baby face, but his voice was extremely sharp, while the Venerable Venerable of the Twilight Mountain looked so thin and weak, but his mouth swept across the sky like a muffled thunder.

"There are 1,087 students who have entered the Intermediate Academy this year, are there any who have not arrived?"

There are almost three or four thousand novice students in the outer courtyard of Jixia Academy every year, and those who can finally enter the middle courtyard are often only more than a thousand people, and those who have not been able to reach the avenue period within three years will be eliminated.

After his eyes swept through the academy group, the people of Twilight Mountain nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, no late...... Follow me. ”

There was no welcome ceremony, no other nonsense, and the people of Dusk Mountain waited for them alone at the gate of the middle courtyard, counted the number of people, and let them in......

All the academies didn't expect that the middle courtyard, which looked so mysterious, would seem to be such a child's play......

Fang Rui and Ji Qingfeng glanced at each other, but at the same time, they were vigilant in their hearts.

Fang Rui's senses have always been very keen, and Ji Qingfeng is also very sensitive to the perception of water element power because he is born with a water vein physique, and they also feel that in the middle courtyard, they can hardly feel a trace of water element power.

This feeling made Ji Qingfeng very uncomfortable.

When they officially stepped into the middle courtyard, Fang Rui and Ji Qingfeng knew why they could hardly feel the water element force.

The sky here is dark, just like the sky of Modo in "The Lord of the Rings" that Fang Rui had seen in his previous life, the dark red light covered the entire sky, the ground was dry and solid, stepping on the ground, you could faintly feel the heat of the ground.

The entire middle courtyard occupies a radius of ten miles, but there are no other buildings, but in the middle of the middle courtyard, there is an abrupt towering tower, towering in the middle courtyard.

The tower, which is a hundred feet high, is completely invisible from the outside of the middle courtyard - this is a trick set up by the great mana.

The closer you get to the tower, the more you feel the heat, but it doesn't hurt.

In the entire Intermediate Academy, there was only one person from the Twilight Mountain, not even any other students in the Intermediate Academy......

"This rhythm feels terrifying...... Fang Rui muttered, and then whispered to Ji Qingfeng: "It's terrifying, the previous seniors won't have been eaten by the dean of the middle court, right......?"

Ji Qingfeng didn't want to pay attention to him with a straight face, but he still didn't hold back, and couldn't help but laugh "poof".

Fang Rui's voice was extremely low, and the other students were also talking to each other because of the abnormality in the middle courtyard, but the people on the twilight mountain seemed to hear Fang Rui's muttering, and then he laughed: "I'm not a demon cultivator...... The other students are not here for other reasons. ”

After saying this, the man on Twilight Mountain did not explain, but waved his sleeves: "Now...... Look at the tower. ”

Everyone looked up at the tower, and under their gaze, at the top of the tower, a white mirror appeared, slowly expanding, and hanging before their eyes.

It's another Void Mirror, but compared to the Void Mirror in the Outer Courtyard, this Void Mirror is much larger!

Immediately after that, rows of names began to appear on the Void Mirror, each with a string of numbers after each name, the larger the number after the top name, and the smaller the bottom one......

In the name, Fang Rui saw Tian Xingjian's name, and his score was two hundred and sixty-three points, ranking in the middle and lower reaches.

"Now the names of all the students of the Intermediate Academy are on it, not including you, of course...... In addition to the students who graduated this year, there are now 2,467 students in the Intermediate Academy! According to their strength and contribution, such points will be discharged! Now that you have joined in, the number of students in the entire Intermediate Academy will be 3,554! ”

Hearing the words of the Venerable Master of the Twilight Mountain, one of the students raised his voice and asked, "Then Lord Dean, how are the points determined?"

"According to the strength, and the contribution of the month, this is the next thing to explain, now, listen to me!"

The words of the Master of the Twilight Mountains rolled through everyone's eardrums like thunder, and all the students closed their mouths - at this time, it was wise to listen to the dean, who looked thin but had a distinctly bad temper.

"You are all in the Great Dao period, the cultivation of the first grade, then the initial points are one hundred points, two hundred points for the second grade, three hundred points for the third grade, and so on. In the outer courtyard, if the strength reaches the first grade, you can come to the intermediate courtyard to study in advance, but the intermediate courtyard is not like this, and you can only leave the intermediate courtyard after three years, so don't think that among the students in the intermediate courtyard, the students of the third grade are the best...... In fact, the highest record in the history of the Intermediate Court was created five hundred years ago by a son of the Eastern Qi royal family, and when he left the Intermediate Court, his strength had reached the peak of the sixth grade, and he was only one step away from the free period!

There was a gasp in the group of students, for all the students, Ji Changwei is naturally extremely familiar, this monarch who ascended the throne five hundred years ago can be called the most wise monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom in the past five thousand years, under his leadership, the Eastern Qi Kingdom faces the sea, and forcibly expands the sphere of influence on the sea thousands of miles away, and the sea rich in products also makes the national strength of the Eastern Qi Kingdom stronger.

Such a cunzii, who made the monks of the entire Eastern Qi Kingdom look up to him, actually walked out after creating the best record in the middle court?

After hearing this, Fang Rui saw Ji Qingfeng clenched his fists beside him - she was Ji Changwei's youngest daughter, and she was also the first daughter of Ji Changwei to show outstanding talent, although it was difficult for monks to have children, Ji Changwei was an exception, in the past five hundred years, Ji Changwei had more than thirty sons and twenty daughters, all of whom were not badly talented, but among such a group of children, Ji Qingfeng was still the most eye-catching one.

The proud and stubborn Ji Qingfeng wants to break his father's record of setting a zào back then.

"You can't see your seniors because your seniors are out there fighting for points...... The points are cleared once a month, and then in the next month, you will have 28 days to go out to fight for contribution, according to the contribution degree, you can find out your points, and the high points will naturally have benefits. ”

"If you don't feel like you have enough points after you return, you still have one day to earn points in the ring challenge, and each student must accept three challenges! ”

"Of course, if you challenge students who are weaker than you, then you will get very few points, and the loser will not be deducted points! Only if you challenge students of the same realm or even higher realm, you can get points after victory! The number of challenges is relatively limited, so you should be cautious about using them. ”

"Today is the end of the month...... Your seniors, you are cultivating in this 'Jiaoyuan Tower' according to the level of points, as a newcomer, the preferential treatment for you is that you don't need to pay anything, you can run the Yuan Force around the Jiaoyuan Tower, polish your vitality, and feel the benefits!"

The Master of Dusk Mountain laughed, then waved his hand and led the students towards the hundred-foot Jiaoyuan Pagoda in the middle of the middle courtyard.

Outside the Jiaoyuan Tower, the students found that around the Jiaoyuan Tower, there are one deep pit after another, the pit is not big, and it can probably accommodate one person sitting cross-legged, from the inside to the outside, densely packed......

Fang Rui found a pit at random and jumped down, while Ji Qingfeng frowned and looked at the pit that looked dirty, then looked at his spotless dress, gritted his teeth, and jumped down.

The people on the twilight mountain asked them to jump into the pit, and they had to jump too.
