The first day after the end of the autumn break is the day of the make-up test for the older ones.

After the autumn examination, all Xihe Empire who has reached the age of 16 for the ninth level of the Yuan Shao, or the 6th to 8th level of the Yuan Shao who is about to turn 16 years old before the winter examination, if they win a new Yuan Shi or a 9th level of the appropriate age in the compliance challenge, respectively, will be eligible to participate in the unified make-up examination scheduled for today.

Huo Xu does not belong to the overage ninth-level Yuanshao, but belongs to the seventh-level Yuanshao who is about to overage, directly challenged a new Yuanshi, and won the battle, he got two opportunities to make up the test.

In other words, in addition to today's make-up exam, he can also participate in the winter exam of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

Early in the morning, Huo Xu flew to the city led by Mizumae.

Outside the palace, Shui Zhimei stayed in Ziyang Square, Huo Xu entered the palace alone, and the guards saw this mysterious young man who easily overturned the time axis with his lips and tongue not long ago, and let him go without asking.

There was a special person waiting at the gate of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, and a young man in his early twenties, dressed in the formal uniform of an imperial clerk, greeted him with a smile, and said politely:

"You're the son of Huoxu, right? Counselor Rose had an order before the retreat that I should come to receive the Fire Boy today. ”

"There's Brother Lao." Huo Xu said.

On the way, I asked, I knew that this young man with a good appearance was named Shangguan Qingyun, and he also participated in the Yuan Shao make-up examination five years ago, and finally regretted being out, and then studied at the Royal Academy of Letters for four years.

Shangguan Qingyun seemed to regard Huo Xu as his brother as soon as they met, and he was willing to say anything, and even shook out the secret that Gray Rose intended to transfer him to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do things.

Huo Xu couldn't "meet and get acquainted" with people, so he said all the words: "Brother Tai is deeply appreciated by Counselor Rose, and his future is bright." ”

Shangguan Qingyun touched his head and said with a smile: "Working under Counselor Rose, although I am busy, I feel fulfilled in my heart. Oh, this autumn I tried for her to give a mobilization speech at the Yuan Youth Academy of your Five Clans, or did I write the speech? ”

Refreshing? No way!

Huo Xu almost laughed, wiped away the upper and lower eyelids that were squeezed together, and said very sincerely: "I have heard her mobilization report, which is very literary. ”

Shangguan Qingyun waved his hand again and again: "It's a little green, immature, I'm smiling, I'm smiling."

Eh, the scenery here is good, and it is rare for the fire boy to come back, so you might as well enjoy the fun, with Rose Counselor to take care of you, you can easily enter the Imperial College of Letters or Business School, and you don't have to worry about the future at all. ”

Shangguan Qingyun obviously didn't take Huo Xu's make-up test seriously at all, and he was not to blame, because for hundreds of years, no older Yuan Shao had been able to create a miracle here.

Since the day of its implementation, the system has been widely criticized by the world, and has repeatedly provoked the dispute between the government and the opposition in the empire over the "survival and abolition." The reason for this is that although the purpose of this system is to cherish talents, it has been implemented for more than 300 years, and the implementation effect is really staggering.

For more than 300 years, there has not been any over-aged ninth-level Yuan Young who has been able to defeat a new Yuan Scholar through competition, and there has not been a single case!

Over the years, there have been many examples of the sixth-eighth-level young people who are about to overage defeat the ninth-level young people of the appropriate age, but the way to win is really not on the table, and they can win either because their fellow students secretly release water; Either because of an accident on the spot of the challenged.

Competitors can release water, but the cold Yuan Ding Venerable who stands in the countless Yuan Shao Courtyards of the empire are all iron-faced and selfless, just imagine, only ten days later, those six- to eighth-level Yuan Shao are unexpectedly promoted to a level, and they will still be ruthlessly eliminated, and if they want to enter the ranks of Yuan Shi in one fell swoop through ten days of cultivation, is it possible?

The Yuan Shao make-up test system also gave birth to a phenomenon that is not prevalent but also has a very bad impact, that is, a small number of Yuan Shaojian went sideways, relying on medicinal stimulation to forcibly break through, and they were more ruthless than the old man of the Water Pavilion back then.

The fate was naturally tragic, and none of those people were spared.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, every time Yuan Shao made up the test day, except for those older Yuan Shao who won the competition and still had illusions, few outsiders paid attention to this matter.

Huo Xu had long forgotten the existence of the Imperial Academy of Letters and Business School, but he was quite interested in the rich history of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

The Royal Martial Arts Mansion is in charge of the imperial military affairs, and between the strategies, you can decide the fortune of the world.

Since ancient times, many peerless strong people have been born here, who have led a group of strong men and scholars to kill the Quartet, pacify the world, and maintain the long-term unity of the empire.

Today, the talent thickness of the whole province is not as good as in the past, but there is a prominent figure whose strength and status are eye-catching

- Deacon of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, three-star Yuan Zai Gu Lin Haoshu!

There are several middle and high-level Yuanzai in this person's family, but they are from the Imperial Family's Twisting Green Division, and they do not belong to the higher-status Zhuli Division, so they are not rooted in the Miao Hong.

At this moment, Gu Lin Haoshu is walking on the road passing through the "Zero Division".

Under the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, there is an institution dedicated to the Yuan Shao Supplementary Examination, whose original name is "Yuan Shao Supplementary Examination Division", the level is not low, but because of the awkward name, most of the others call it "Zero Division".

Since its establishment, there have really been zero "dust beads" unearthed by this institution.

The personnel of the division have been cut again and again, and now there are no more directors, and there are only two directors left in the whole department, one surnamed Tao and one surnamed Tai.

As a result, many people changed their tunes and simply called the Yuan Shao Supplementary Examination Division the "Elimination Division".

When passing by the main gate of the Yuan Shao Supplementary Examination Division, Gu Lin Haoshu, who was over fifty years old, stopped, straightened his burly body, and swept his eyes into the door without anger.

Catching a glimpse of a large group of young boys and girls gathered in twos and threes and chattering endlessly, he couldn't help frowning.

In other words, in the past, Gu Lin Haoshu would not care about such trivial matters as Yuan Shao's make-up test at all.

However, this is no longer the case.

A new young man from the royal family was beaten in the Nangong Youth Fighting Hall, and the person who beat people afterwards didn't have a, but the queen sprinkled her anger on the young man of the royal family, and sent someone to pass down the heavy words:

"Who dares to ruin the reputation of the royal family and remove his clan membership!"

In Luofei City, the reputation of the royal boy has always been poor, and Gu Lin Haoshu doesn't want to clean up the discipline, but he hesitated several times and has been shelved until now, which is really because he can't do it.

The water in this is too deep, once it sets off strong winds and waves, it is beyond his ability to settle with a three-star Yuanzai of the green department.

It's just ······ The queen was angry, and he had to make a gesture.

"Tell all the ninth-level Yuan Shao and new Yuan Scholars that you don't want to go to the various competition halls in Luofei City, right? Instead, they can be invited to take on the challenge in the satellite cities around the capital.

However, they can't always be blind, so what's the use of fighting on that occasion? You can't grow more meat! ”

Gu Lin Haoshu called the old dean of the Yuan Shaoyuan and said politely.

Unexpectedly, after the group of teenagers with stubborn heads were heard, they were unusual, "lying flat" and resisting, and there were "accidents" along the way.

In the three satellite cities of Pulan, York, and Juyong, the young men of the martial arts mansion who were invited to go, especially the young people of the royal family, almost lost all their bottoms, and he Gulin Haoshu was called "good loser" by the local sect.

lost face, and released a lot of mediocre boys and girls, who were in charge of water and rice, and they had to pay for it.

Sweet!

"Lord Deacon, Counselor Rose has drawn your attention to the fire-calling ······ Huoxu's boy, adults may wish to move to the Yuanshao Make-up Test Division and meet this person. Secretly observing the words and feelings, a two-star lord who accompanied him persuaded.

Gu Lin Haoshu was silent.

Huo Xu's name and fighting performance had already spread all over the Miyagi government offices, and as long as he was a cultivator, there was no one who would not be interested in his amazing talent.

Gu Lin Haoshu is the same, he has already been hung up on his appetite, and he really wants to meet the young man who can enter the blue eyes of Her Royal Highness the Queen.

However, it is not easy to let the dignified deacons and super-high-quality dignitaries of the extremely popular ministers move and go to a very inconspicuous subordinate organization to get acquainted with a group of mediocre Yuan Shao!

Besides, he rashly went to the platform for the young man in advance, in case he did not get a good score in the make-up exam and failed to be promoted to the Yuanshi, how could the dignified deacon have face?

Even if he gave 10,000 reasons, he couldn't believe that Huo Xu, who only had the strength of the eighth-level Yuan Shao in the last battle, would be able to enter the ranks of the Yuan Shi after nine days.

"That young man has potential, but he is destined to be a late bloomer."

Thinking of this, Gu Lin Haoshu shook his head lightly and said, "Let's wait until the winter test day, when he is tested with the young people in this mansion." ”

He estimated that after three months, Huo Xu would have more hope of creating a miracle.

······

Deliver Huo Xu to the test site and draw out the serial number, Shangguan Qingyun gave a few words, and then went to the audience on the terrace to watch, and persuaded Huo Xu to take some time to go to the Royal Academy of Literature before leaving, and said that it was really a pleasure to study in that place.

From time to time, young boys and girls in groups walked past Huo Xu, all of them were unfamiliar faces, and Huo Xu failed to recognize an acquaintance.

All the boys and girls wore strange robes that could not be seen in Lofe City, mostly green robes and green robes, and at a glance they knew that they were from the satellite cities around the capital.

The young students dressed in various robes and uniforms did not line up in the square, but went straight to the back row area and took their seats.

Huo Xu raised his eyes to look at Yuanjing Terrace, and saw that there was only one Yuan Ding on the huge high platform, and there were two female white-robed Yuan Masters sitting on the side of Yuan Ding, one of them was thin, over fifty years old, and an eight-star Yuan Master.

The other person is slightly chubby, in his thirties, and a five-star master.

The sign on the table marked their names: the older man's name was Tao Bao, and the middle-aged woman's name was Tai Zhu.

Tao ······ Surname? Huo Xu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the combination of these two surnames was a bit unlucky.

With the flow of people flocked to the seating area, but it was too late, and only the last row was empty.

Quickly squeezed forward to grab an empty seat, Huo Xu sat down, and smiled apologetically at the Yuan Shao who was a step late for him.

The man shrugged helplessly, turned and walked to the sideline to stand still.

"What are you?"

Hearing a female voice close at hand, Huo Xu turned his head and found a petite girl sitting next to him, and then was frightened by her rare yellow robe.

Resting on another planet, resting in that not-so-distant era, with this outfit, you will definitely be in a different place!

"Eighty-two." Huo Xu smiled.

"I'm one hundred and fifteen." The girl tilted her head, and her eyes were very bright, "What happened to the one who fought with you?" ”

Huo Xu touched his head and said, "He suddenly fell off the arena." ”

"Giggle······ The girl hugged her right knee and leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, "The one who fought with me is even more exaggerated, and as soon as he stood in front of me, he squinted his eyes and ······ directly. I was stunned at the time, thinking that I would die, and I didn't have the coercion of a strong man, giggling······"
