Chapter 59: The Gray-Clothed Boy
"The rules for this academy selection are: An Lingruo looked around, and said in a crisp voice: "There are nine giant wood rings in the square, each of which is guarded by a disciple of the outer courtyard of my South Gate Academy, and you can only obtain the qualification to enter the South Gate Academy if you defeat them. ”
What?Defeat the academy disciples?... What kind of recruiting disciples is this, it's just a fake acting... Before the words fell, almost tens of thousands of people in the square erupted in anger at the same time!
"Everyone, don't be impatient. An Lingruo still had a bright smile on his face: "Give me some patience and listen to the little girl." He glanced at the boys and girls standing in the ordinary arena, and said loudly: "The contestants with the quota are one hundred and six, and you form a team of five to challenge the ring, and the rest will be counted by yourself." Now, give you 10 minutes to find someone to team up, and remember that the strength of your teammates determines your victory or defeat, so you can do it yourself. Begin. ”
Hush... There are still many people in the square who are dissatisfied and let out a piercing sigh...
Hundreds of young people in the square are all a little stunned, how can this unknown team up?... After a while, a few people with eight faces finally began to wander around...
The South Gate Academy is really unfathomable, and this simple selection rule alone shows infinite wisdom, and it is undoubtedly a must-learn lesson for these young people who have just entered cultivation. Xia Yang straightened the hat above his head and thought. Seeing An Lingruo Tang Zifeng's side again, a total of nine academy disciples, including Su Sha, Jiang Quan, Pang Hua, the folding fan boy, and the gray-clothed boy, stepped down from the high platform and went to guard their ring. It seems that for these disciples, it is also an extremely risky test.
As for Xia Yang's neurotic desire to buy a hat, he is still thinking about it, what is it for? Maybe it's because he's afraid of seeing Susa... Although we will see each other sooner or later, it is better to let things slowly transition for the better.
Xia Yang also noticed Su Lu's depressed expression. But if An Lingruo is full of peach blossoms and has a rippling smile, this has some aura.
"One minute left. An Lingruo glanced at the forty or fifty people in the square who still hadn't formed a five-person queue, and his voice suddenly took on a serious tone: "If the time is up, the people who still haven't formed a five-person queue will be canceled." ”
The boys and girls in the square were a little scared, and they looked at each other incredibly, and finally some more people began to actively pull people closer...
And this time. Nine disciples of the South Gate Academy had already reached the top of the ring. The top of the giant wood ring is two zhang square, and the height of the fall is five zhang! If a person in the early stage of the Xuanluo Realm falls, he will be seriously injured if he does not die! That is to say, this contestant is at least in the middle of the Xuanluo Realm.
Xia Yang's eyes saw Susa from a distance, and saw her standing quietly at the top of the second ring, looking sad?
"It's time!" An Lingruo's voice sounded, looking at the dozen or so scattered or two-two-three-three figures in the field, and said: "There are no contestants who form a five-person queue, your quota is canceled, hurry down to the square!"
"Torture, what kind of game is this?"
"That's it, it's just a random toss!"
"This immature child, usually born in person, how can he team up with people he doesn't know?" Around the square, there were some very dissatisfied discussions...
The dozen or so young people who were kicked out of the field directly had different faces... In desperation, he had to walk off the square very unwillingly.
"Okay, now there are sixteen queues left. An Lingruo looked around the field, and then said: "The nine groups in front of you will line up in turn, and choose the ring within three minutes." ”
This time it was much more neat, and the team consciously moved with the front. Because they were too nervous in their hearts and afraid of losing the opportunity, they went to the ring almost in order.
It seems that the time for this cutscene is not short, and Xia Yang is a little unintentional to watch it. Wandering through the crowd, slowly climbing to the top of the seat on the west side... The dense drop of the tilting seats dozens of feet high, and the feeling of seeing the square at the bottom at a glance is really wonderful.
The seat at the top was empty, and when he took off the hat, Xia Yang lay on his back, thinking that his soul power had searched all around the square, why didn't he see the little girl... I'm not in the mood to watch the little fights in the square.
In the square, the battle has begun... Not to mention fierce, those contestants climbed into the five-zhang high ring, and most of them were directly kicked down by the academy disciples above... So the sighs come and go...
After about twenty minutes, the challenge ended. In the first nine groups, none of them advanced. Those parents who want their son to become a dragon all have a deep look of loneliness and a hint of dissatisfaction.
"It's a cruel rule. Xia Yang thought: "Unless there are masters in the late stage of the Xuanluo Realm together, it will be difficult to advance." ”
"The next seven groups, choose the ring at will, and start the challenge. An Lingruo's words resounded around the square again.
Seven teams choose the ring and start fighting...
Xia Yang sat up and raised his gaze. Suddenly, he saw a gray-clothed young man smiling at himself between the top seats on the opposite side hundreds of feet away from him. The gray-clothed young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair face and a polite manner, but it made Xia Yang's heart tremble!
"I didn't understand his cultivation, and I never found him!" Xia Yang was a little incredulous! Even Jiang Hai himself in the middle of the Phantom Soul Realm could see it clearly, but this well-mannered gray-clothed young man didn't see through it at all!
Xia Yang returned the favor with a faint smile, and suddenly felt some ominous feeling in his heart! Could it be that he has been paying attention to me all along? And I haven't noticed him at all? Could it be that his soul power is stronger than mine...
After more than ten minutes, the selection of places in the square ended. Finally, there were some sporadic cheers from the seats around them.
A team of teams successfully passed the selection and became disciples of the outer courtyard of the South Gate Academy. But there were only two of them, two plainly dressed teenagers, who looked like two brothers, and they stood in the ring together, with excited and satisfied smiles on their faces. And they beat down a teenager under Tang Zifeng.
It's finally our turn to be poor boys, Xia Yang moved his hands and feet slightly, and looked at the gray-clothed young man opposite casually.
As everyone knows, the gray-clothed young man noticed it instantly, and turned back to Xia Yang and smiled faintly.
It's terrifying! I don't know what the identity of Lu Dao is? Xia Yang thought about it slightly.
"The selection of all open places is closed. An Lingruo's voice sounded: "Now is the selection for those who do not have a quota to enter the South Gate Academy." ”
There was a slight commotion around the square... Now is a good opportunity to kill the dark horse.
"First of all, you must not be more than sixteen years old. An Lingruo's eyes looked around and said loudly: "And your rules are even more difficult. Because you have not been recognized by people during the year, you can only prove yourselves through greater challenges. Your rule is to challenge the ring on your own, of course, the choice is yours. ”
Wow... This time the square was in a real boil... The boy in the market challenged the students of the South Gate Academy to study for a year? No matter the cultivation, martial arts, or even weapons, they were undoubtedly exploded in all aspects! This is the child's play of Hongguoguo!
Protest! Protest... Around the square, there were people shouting loudly...
Protest! Protest... For a while, protests came and went, and the whole square fell into a very dissatisfied mood...
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the scene was somewhat spectacular.
"The fathers and elders of the Chuanyun Empire are restless. In order to control the situation, Su Lu had to stand up and laugh loudly: "The selection of the South Gate Academy is just a trial, as long as you can survive this trial, whether you succeed or not, it will also be of great benefit to the cultivation of the younger generation in the future." One failure does not mean another failure, as long as you persevere and never give up, gold will always shine!"
Seeing that it was Jiuding Zhilu speaking, everyone suddenly quieted down a lot... This is the top figure of the Chuanyun Empire, under a word, thousands of troops and horses are galloping, who can afford to provoke them? Besides, what people say is not unreasonable.
The square slowly fell into silence, and they all looked at the square below with curious and hot eyes...
"From now on, anyone under the age of 16 can challenge in the ring in half an hour. An Lingruo's voice sounded again: "But the casualties are at your own risk." ”
For a while, there was a stir in the square, but no one immediately went up to challenge...
"Why didn't Su Yu participate in this academy selection?" I heard that it had been half an hour, and Xia Yang was not in a hurry. Suddenly he felt a touch of weakness on his cheeks, and he raised his eyes to look at the gray-clothed young man.
The gray-clothed young man really looked at himself, and his cheeks slightly hooked up with a smile arc.
