In today's world, the cultivation is mainly based on the authenticity of the state religion Xuanmen, and the main source of true yuan is the starry sky - the light religion pays attention to the word light, and it is the starlight that illuminates the night dome - Break the sitting and shine into the seclusion, and then gather the stars, relying on the energy of thousands of stars to sprinkle the world, and transform the body and spirit of mortals, this is the ultimate goal of cultivation, from which you can imagine the status of the star, in the cultivation world, all countries and sects have stargazing platforms, and there are countless stargazing towers in the famous river, but it is rare to see names such as the stars and the stars, because it will appear to be a little disrespectful to the stars.

But the second academy on Chen Changsheng's list is called the Star Picking Academy.

Picking stars - this college has taken such a domineering name, but the state religion has no opinion, this matter is already very domineering.

This academy is the only one in the world that dares to use and is qualified to use this name.

Because this academy is directly under the Great Zhou military, it has cultivated countless brave and resolute young people over the years, and the generals who have come out are like stars. Many years ago, the shocking war with the demons, the early stage of mankind was on the verge of a desperate situation, the Star Picking Academy from the dean to the ordinary students, rushed to the battlefield, one after another, nine out of ten people died on the battlefield, after the war, the huge academy was actually withered and lonely like a tomb, with this, the Star Picking Academy in the Anthropocene world has won unmatched respect, and also has an unimaginable momentum.

Such an academy, let alone picking stars, even if you want to use the burning star as the name, who would dare to give an opinion?

Everyone in the world knows very well the bloody, cruel and glorious history of the Star Picking Academy, and Chen Changsheng is no exception, Master listed the Star Picking Academy in the second place on the list, in fact, in his mind, the Star Picking Academy is in the first place, so although he was a little depressed that he was not admitted to the Heavenly Dao Academy, he didn't care too much.

He believed that the Star Picking Academy would definitely not be as favoritistic as the Heavenly Dao Academy, at least not as excessive.

Thinking like this, he came to the Star Picking Academy with a slaying breath and began to prepare for the second exam.

Star Picking Academy is really different from the Heavenly Dao Academy, although there is also a black crowd outside the courtyard gate, but I don't know if it is because of the eagle-like gaze of those heavily armed elite soldiers at the gate of the academy, or the stone tablet full of the names of the martyred generals at the gate of the academy is too depressing, and the scene is quiet without any noise.

Fill out a simple registration form, receive a number plate, and under the leadership of several officers, more than 600 teenagers waiting for the test walked into the courtyard gate.

Similar to the assessment of the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Star Picking Academy has also prepared an early exam, the purpose is also to eliminate those ordinary teenagers who have failed to wash the marrow in advance, and reduce the pressure for the subsequent official entrance exam, but after all, the Star Picking Academy has a military nature, and the method is much simpler and more direct than the Heavenly Dao Academy-there is no induction stone here, only a stone plate.

The stone disc was very large, much like a grinding disc - in fact, it was originally a temporary unloaded grinding disc from the stone mill outside the back kitchen of the Star Picking Academy, weighing three hundred catties. Candidates who can lift this grinding disc and walk up the 30 stone steps are eligible to participate in the official entrance examination even if they pass the first level of assessment.

With a weight of 300 catties, unless the marrow is washed successfully, the muscles and bones are exercised like loose, and it is difficult for ordinary people to lift it, let alone walk such a long stone step. There are many teenagers who have not succeeded in washing the marrow Looking at the grinding disc, their faces suddenly changed color, and many people retreated in frustration, even some teenagers who have successfully washed the marrow, but the realm is unstable, judged that they can't do it this year, and shook their heads again and again, unwilling but helpless to give up, of course, there are also some ordinary teenagers who bravely rely on their original strength to try to challenge, but none of them succeeded.

failed to wash the marrow, so he lifted this grinding plate, in the admission examination of the Star Picking Academy, it is actually not uncommon, for example, the White Tiger Divine General who is now guarding the Jialan Pass, failed to wash the marrow when he entered the academy at the beginning of the year, but with his innate divine power, he threw the grinding disc directly to the lake very easily......

But after all, it's not too common.

The instructor was a little regretful, looked at the sky, and decided to speed up and let the candidates declare their own level, and then the candidates who successfully washed the marrow took the exam first, and then let the ordinary teenagers try.

It's a pity that until midday, there is still no ordinary teenager who has created miracles.

Just when people felt bored and many onlookers were about to leave, a burly young man walked into the arena with a number plate, lifted the millstone plate very easily, pedaled and pedaled, connected to the thirty stone steps, did not pant and blush, and even carried the millstone disc back to its original place!

There was an uproar.

The young man raised his hand to signal around, and proudly walked up the stone steps again, towards the depths of the academy, and the interesting thing was that he was too honest and honest, and no matter how much he wanted to deliberately show pride and pride, in the eyes of the onlookers, it was only cute, there was no mockery, only a good-natured laughter.

After the burly boy left, many people began to speculate about his origin, until someone suddenly mentioned that the cyan pattern on the young man's ankle was faintly visible, and everyone was stunned and silent, because ...... That means that the boy is very likely to have demon blood, and he may even come from the Western Demon Domain!

For hundreds of years, the human race and the demon clan have resisted the demon clan together, although the relationship is not harmonious, but it can be regarded as peaceful, some demon nobles who can transform into shapes even live in the Anthropocene realm, and there must be one in the Great Zhou Kyoto - but after all, the demons have different paths, and the Anthropocene realm, whether official or civil, does not mention this matter much, as long as those demon clans do not mess around.

The burly young man who was suspected of being a demon clan successfully lifted the grinding plate, as if pushing open a door, and then, there were two more Orion teenagers from Da Lao Ling, and they only relied on their own original strength to lift the grinding plate and walked up the stone steps, although it seemed very hard, they still won bursts of applause.

The officer holding a pen above the stone steps to make statistics nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied with this year's results.

Time passed, and it was finally Chen Changsheng's turn. The crowd of onlookers looked at this childish young man, and kindly helped a few times, and then they no longer paid much attention, because this young man was obviously still young and not fully developed, let alone as burly as the demon clan boy, and even the two Orion teenagers were far less strong, no matter how they looked, it was impossible to lift such a heavy grinding plate.

In the Heavenly Dao Academy, Chen Changsheng relied on his familiarity with the rules of the academy to directly skip the level of marrow washing and selection, at this time in the Star Picking Academy, he might be able to think of other methods, but I don't know if Lu Dao was affected by the academy's murderous but passionate atmosphere, or if he just wanted to try, he didn't do anything.

He walked to the grinding disc and slowly squatted down, firmly grasped both sides of the grinding disc with both hands, and took five breaths slowly and deeply, pouring all the strength of his body into his waist, abdomen and arms, snorting, and suddenly exerting force!

There was a sudden silence in front of the sloping stone steps, and the people who were chatting about something forgot to answer in amazement, and looked at the room with their mouths wide open.

The grinding disc slowly rose, and was finally lifted to his chest by Chen Changsheng, no more, no less, just one inch above the assessment standard!

His face was a little red, but his expression was calm, and there was no panic or nervousness in his eyes.

Boom! There were enthusiastic cheers in the audience, and people kept cheering for the young man, trying to help him lift his feet with rhythmic cheers.

Chen Changsheng took a step forward, and after just one step, his knees trembled a little.

It's one thing to lift the millstone disc, it's quite another to walk up the stone steps with such a heavy millstone.

His breath became a little messy, and his face became redder and redder.

He didn't make a sound, and he could be seen from his slightly bulging cheeks, gritting his teeth hard.

Step by step, he walked up the stone steps.

......

......

Chen Changsheng did not succeed in washing the marrow, his musculoskeletal strength is only the strength of an ordinary teenager, and even, because he has been sick since he was a child, he should be weaker than an ordinary teenager, but it is precisely because of the illness that it is still difficult to treat, so the three people in the broken temple outside Xining Town, including himself, care most about his body.

As soon as he became sensible, he began to be forced to recite the three thousand Taoist treasures in the temple, and at the same time, the Taoist priest master who had some gods and gods dug up countless herbs to boil into a medicinal soup for him to bathe, and the senior brother of the rest of the people kept helping him to boil his body with thorns and wooden sticks, for more than ten years, he was most familiar with the three people in the temple, and the taste he was most familiar with was the taste of books, medicine and sticks.

After a long time of treatment and hard work, his illness was not cured, and he had no way to become a demon boy with natural powers, but he should have been extremely weak, but now he is not weaker than ordinary people in terms of physical strength, and even better, although this is only the surface of health and strength, but it also makes him very happy.

A boy who has been sick since he was a child and has been shrouded in dark shadows since he was ten years old will care more about physical matters than others, and will be extremely concerned about those details, so today in the Star Picking Academy, he walked to the mill in silence, just wanting to pass this assessment with his own strength.

He wanted to lift the heavy millstone and prove something to himself, and at the same time express his gratitude to Master and Senior Brother.

......

......

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.

Chen Changsheng's breathing became heavier and heavier, his face became more and more ugly, and his extremely tight black hair had already been wet with sweat, but his eyes were still so calm and affirmative.

The cheers and cheers on both sides of the stone steps have stopped, and everyone looked at the young man who was walking tremblingly on the stone steps with his head down and struggling to move forward, very worried, and very admired, several times the young man was about to fall, but I don't know where the strength of the road came from, it actually supported him to hold on!

The instructor looked at Chen Changsheng on the stone steps, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

......

......

Seven steps, eight steps, nine steps.

Chen Changsheng's pace is getting slower and slower.

The appreciation in the instructor's eyes grew stronger. He was surprised by the level of this young man's performance—as a soldier, what he cared about was Chen Changsheng's perseverance and courage—and he had already decided that even if Chen Changsheng failed to lift the grinding disc to the stone steps, he would let him pass this initial test. As for whether this will affect the reputation of the academy and the Great Zhou military......

The instructor looked at the nervous people, and his mood was slightly calm, and he secretly wondered if it should be, it seems that the vast majority of people think like themselves.

Serious and hard-working children deserve a special reward.

......

......

Thinking about these things, the instructor was a little distracted, and did not keep looking at the stone steps, until at a certain moment, he woke up and suddenly noticed a sudden change in the expressions on people's faces.

He turned his head to look, and saw that there was one more person beside him.

It was a soaked, exhausted teenager.

The instructor thought that he didn't have to be embarrassed, smiled and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Changsheng walked to the top of the stone steps.

The heavy millstone was at his feet.

He did it.
