Chapter 62: Before the Exam
And with the help of the Chaos Divine Monument, among the human race, some amazing and brilliant demon-like characters will appear every few hundred years, maintaining the overall strength of the entire race has been high and developing steadily.
Because of this, for countless years, the demon race has sent many spies into the first city in a vain attempt to destroy the Chaos Divine Monument and fundamentally hinder the growth of the younger generation of the human race, but in the end, they were all seen through one by one, and their efforts were in vain.
However, the demons who have been defeated repeatedly have not given up because of this, but have become more and more intense, sending more of their subordinates to hide around the first city, waiting for the opportunity to kill the disciples who came to the test, so every time it comes to the time of the test, it is also the best time for these spies to show their skills and fish in troubled waters.
......
When the last day of registration for the examination passed, Mo Yuantai, who was the supervisor of the hospital, checked the roster, counted the number of people, and found that the actual number of people was nearly 700 different from the number of people originally recorded, and that's all, not including those who might accompany the division commander and seniors.
This result surprised the high-level of the Martial Academy, according to the usual meeting, the loss of one or two hundred people is already the limit, I don't want there to be so many this time, which also shows that the power sent by the demon clan this time is absolutely unprecedentedly strong, and it should not be underestimated.
The news soon spread to the city lord's mansion, and also attracted great attention, and the city lord ordered that on the basis of the original defense, 5,000 soldiers were sent to patrol and investigate again, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting and the safety of the people in the city.
These days, all the inns in the city are also overcrowded, and even some people live in dirty firewood houses, except for those who accompany their own disciples to participate in the examination, there are also some juniors who are purely here to see and open their eyes, they are not qualified to participate in the examination, so they can only live outside.
In addition, some idle people in the rivers and lakes also rushed to join in the fun, which also made a huge first city suddenly become very crowded and bustling.
......
Dao Yuan took Jin Er and walked side by side on the street with Hu Lie and Lei Luo, looking at all kinds of people around him in amazement, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Lei Luo looked around even more, and breathed hard: "My good man, I haven't gone out for a few days, and I also said that the martial arts courtyard has become densely crowded, and I didn't expect it to be even more powerful outside, good guy......!
Hu Lie glanced at him angrily: "If you don't say such an exaggeration, you can die?!"
"I'm exaggerating! I'm telling the truth......
Dao Yuan interrupted their tendency to quarrel and said in a low voice: "Now that we are about to try, the city has become more mixed, let's be cautious and don't make any more extraneous branches." I treated Miss Ling'er once today, and when I waited for the next time, I was afraid that it would be more than ten days later. Lei Luo, now you go to buy some things for life applications, and ensure that she doesn't have to go out within half a month, so that we can also prepare for the trial with peace of mind and don't have to be distracted. ”
"Okay, I'll go. Lei Luo agreed, and then turned to leave.
Hu Lie said: "What about Jin'er? If we pass the meeting and enter the first floor, there will be no one to take care of it." ”
Dao Yuan touched Jin Er's little head lovingly, and said, "I want to give it to Miss Ling'er, so that she can not only take care of Jin Er's food and drink, but also protect her safety...... Jin'er, do you think it's okay?"
When Jin Er heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded sensibly, but the trace of grievance in his eyes did not hide it from the two of them.
When leaving, Dao Yuan repeatedly instructed. Xue Ling stood at the door pretty, hugged Jin Er and nodded with a smile, and waved to the three of them.
......
Finally, the day of the examination has officially arrived.
The master of the academy ordered that the First Martial Academy be completely closed from today, and no one except the deacons was allowed to enter until all the disciples had finished their examinations.
In the early morning of this day, on the square south of the First Martial Arts Temple.
Thousands of disciples lined up in a dozen neat and orderly phalanxes, standing with their backs to the south and north, and these people, all of whom were outstanding talents from all over the world, were selected to participate in the triennial examination. They were all straight-waisted and high-spirited, and their eyes were looking to the north, where there was a makeshift high platform where the master and the elders presided over the matter.
In the morning sun and wind, an old man strode onto the high platform.
The first person, with a majestic figure, fluttering steps, a white coat, white beard and hair, a kind and kind face, and a light and breezy demeanor, giving people the feeling of being like an immortal out of the dust.
This person is the current master of the First Martial Academy-Bai Xingyun.
Behind him, more than a dozen elders had solemn faces, and after coming to the stage, they lined up, their sharp eyes swept to the thousands of disciples below, looking at these energetic young faces, they couldn't help but feel some pride: These will be the excellent strength of our human race in the future, the heavy responsibility of resisting foreign enemies and defending the race, there is a great chance to fall on the shoulders of some of them, as long as these juniors continue to cultivate with determination, our human race is still the lord of the continent, and the glory will always be there!
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
Bai Xingyun walked to the side of the stage, and when he spoke first, his voice was loud and majestic, and it spread far away like thunder, and it was clearly sent into the ears of every disciple.
"The triennial examination will officially start at this time today, this is a major event for the martial artists of other races of our human race, Bai is here, on behalf of the First Martial Academy, welcome your arrival!"
Suddenly, a thunderous applause rang out below, and countless disciples applauded.
After this wave passed, Bai Xingyun pressed his hands weakly, stopped the noise, and continued: "The purpose of the examination is to enter the first floor to comprehend the Chaos Divine Monument, and the purpose of the enlightenment, without me saying that everyone knows it, is to improve the realm cultivation of all positions, break through the original bottleneck shackles, and lay a solid and strong foundation for the future path of martial arts, which has been verified by your peers or elders before you, so I won't say more." ”
"However, what is the ultimate goal of improving realm cultivation, Bai has to say a few words about this. ”
Bai Xingyun put his hands behind his back and swept the audience: "As we all know, the mainland respects martial arts, if you want to survive or even survive better, you should try your best to improve to deal with unknown natural and man-made disasters." In the far north of our continent, there is an evil race that is constantly thinking about how to invade and enslave us. Even now, they have sent countless masters to assassinate and ambush everyone on the way to come, and by now, hundreds of outstanding disciples have died because of this, and everyone must have heard of this matter for a long time. For tens of thousands of years, this race has been eyeing us and salivating, and everyone says, can we just watch them succeed?!"
"Can't!"
Thousands of people were thrilled by these words, and at the same time they opened their mouths in response, and the waves of sound came together and soared into the sky, breaking away the thick clouds.
Therefore, the purpose of our cultivation is not only to protect ourselves, our family and friends, but also to protect our race from being harmed by these evil foreign enemies. ”
Bai Xingyun nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I don't deny that the improvement of strength and the progress of cultivation will make our lives much better, but, good men are determined in all directions, if you want to make some achievements, fight for the survival of your own race, and make yourself famous in history, then your ultimate goal should not be the small world in front of you, but the evil race in the north! Because only there is the place where the true colors of men are shown! Only then can you truly contribute to our race!"
