38. Chapter 38

"Boy, stretch out your hand!" said the white-bearded old dean as he looked at Du Long who came to him with blazing eyes.

This will be a bit difficult to ride Du Long, he can only stretch out his right hand, he wants to see what this old guy wants to do!

Under everyone's gaze, the old man reached out and clasped Du Long's wrist, and he soon felt a strong energy infiltrate into his body along his wrist.

"It's not good! The old thing wants to detect your true cultivation! Hmph! With Aunt Ben's grandmother here, your cultivation has succeeded!" came to her mind with a coquettish reprimand.

An invisible fluctuation spread out along the spokes of the coiling snake ring, and in an instant, it collided with another energy in Du Long's body, like ice and snow melting, and the energy that the old man had infiltrated disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This ...... How is it possible?!" Suddenly his eyes widened, the old man of the dean suddenly let go of Du Long's wrist, and muttered in disbelief: "How can there be such a strange physique?!"

"Hmph! With the strength of this old man's fourth-order perfection, he dares to rely on the old and sell the old in front of his aunt and grandmother!" In her mind, the beauty of the Ring Spirit snorted proudly.

Although he didn't know how Ling'er, the beauty of the Ring Spirit did it, Du Long pretended to have an innocent expression and said: "Old man! My physique is already weird, otherwise I wouldn't have been a waste for so many years!

Looking at Du Long with an innocent face, the white-bearded old dean pondered for a long time before he waved his hand helplessly and said: "That's it, that's it! Since you want to hide your strength, then it's up to you! Boy, you can call the old man Dean in the future, since you hide your strength, you will be busy later!"

"It turns out that you are always the dean! That little farewell!" It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, although he was a little puzzled by the old guy's last words, but he didn't bother to ask, Du Long hurriedly turned around and left this place of right and wrong, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"That's it?!" Du Caini and the others, who wanted to know if Du Long was hiding his strength, were all dumbfounded, it seemed that Du Long's strange physique was so strange that even the Dean couldn't find out his true strength.

"Stinky boy, are you hiding your true strength as the Dean said?!" Du Long grabbed his arm and asked viciously as soon as Du Long came back.

"Hehe, what's not ......" Facing the first sister's questioning, Du Long could only scratch his head and laugh dryly, since he has concealed his true cultivation, let's hide it to the end!

Seeing that he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Du Caini rolled her eyes depressedly on the spot, and turned to Xia Qinglian and asked, "Qinglian, is this guy really only the strength of the ninth order of Qi Yun?!"

"This ...... Childe didn't want to say, Sister Caini, don't be embarrassed for Qinglian!" Xia Qinglian's snow-white cheeks flushed, and she was forced to be in a hurry, and she couldn't lie, so she could only kick the ball back to Du Long again.

However, her performance just shows that Du Long's strength is very problematic.

"Stinky boy! Qinglian said this obviously because she didn't want to lie, it seems that you guy must have concealed his true strength, hmph! Since you are only willing to show the strength of the early stage of the ninth order of Yunqi, then the next trouble will be enough for you to drink a pot!"

"Trouble?!" Du Long suddenly remembered that the old man had said something similar just now.

"Du Long!" Princess Huofeng said at the right time: "You don't know that the annual enrollment of martial arts students, due to the number of students who meet the requirements is exceeded, and finally have to conduct a new round of screening among the students in the early stage of the ninth order of Yunqi, right?"

Du Long couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't you say that you can enter the Royal Academy if you reach the ninth order of Yunqi?!What is the new round of screening?!"

"You're wrong! Only by reaching the ninth order of Qi consummation before the age of twenty can you steadily enter the Royal Academy, and the difference in strength between the early stage of the ninth order and the eighth order consummation is not large, and the academy will depend on the actual combat level of each person, and the best will be admitted!" Zeng Wan'er, the daughter of the second-rank subordinate Shangshu, explained in a coquettish voice.

Du Long was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard this, although he was not afraid of being challenged, but he was afraid of trouble, and if he came and went, he would delay himself for a lot of time!

Before testing the crystals, one after another students went to the stage to test, the process was quite fast, and it was over soon, seeing that it was about to be lunchtime, several instructors sorted out the results and handed them over to the old man who was the dean of Whitebeard.

He took a cursory glance, then slowly stood up and came to the middle of the rostrum to stand still: "There are a total of one hundred and sixty-five martial cultivation students who participated in the special test this time, and fifty-seven of them have reached the ninth order of Qi and above, of which twenty students who have reached the ninth order consummation have been directly admitted, and the other thirty-seven early ninth order students are invited to gather here after lunch for a new round of screening! This morning's test is over!"

After the announcement, the old man of the dean handed the information in his hand to a certain tutor, and left without looking back after two sentences of explanation by the way!

In order to save time, Du Long and the others found a restaurant with good conditions outside the academy and after having lunch together, they rushed back to the playground of the Royal Academy to wait for a new round of screening.

Among their group, Du Long, Xia Qinglian, Yue Xiaoshan, and Liu Zixin need to undergo a new round of screening, like Princess Huofeng, Zeng Wan'er, Xu Luyin, Lin Shi and others have all reached the ninth order of Qi consummation, and there is no need to screen again.

After waiting for half an hour, the instructors entered the hall one after another, and then the old man of the dean actually came with an old woman who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair and a ruddy face.

"Huh?!I didn't expect even the dean's wife to come to watch the new round of screening, it's really rare!" Du Caini, an old fritter from the Royal Academy, exclaimed on the spot.

"Dare to love this old woman is the wife of the old man of the dean?" Du Long also looked at it curiously, and found that this old woman was kind and kind, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye than the old man of the dean.

After respectfully helping his wife to take a seat, the old man came to the stage and said loudly: "Everyone is here, right? If you are late, you will be treated as abstaining!"

According to the old rules, you group of privileged students can only have thirty places per year, and now twenty of them have reached the ninth order of Yunqi and are directly admitted, so in this way, among your other thirty-seven early ninth order students, only ten of them have a chance to enter the Royal Academy!

All the students who have reached the early stage of the ninth order of Yunqi will all go to the mentor's side to draw lots and draw the same number of battles in the same group, which one will not draw the opponent's direct bye to advance!"

As the old man's voice fell, the two tutors each came to the sidelines with a wooden box, and more than 30 students stepped forward to draw lots, Du Long naturally stepped forward with Xia Qinglian, Yue Xiaoshan and Liu Zixin to draw lots, in order not to draw the same group with their own people, the four of them chose the same tutor to draw lots.

The results of the lottery came out quickly, and the entire playground was cleared out of the field, and the playground was divided into blocks of about 20 meters square, and each area was marked with a number.

"Everyone, according to the number drawn by themselves, enter the corresponding area to prepare for the game, the rules are very simple, you can only use your hands and feet, you are not allowed to use any weapons and auxiliary attack means! One side admits defeat, or is knocked to the ground, and is knocked out of the combat area! Remember not to hurt people's lives at will!"

Thirty-seven people, each into the nineteen battle areas, originally there should have been only one bye, but because one guy was late, two people were lucky to be bye, one of them was Du Long!

Standing boredly in the battle area with another lucky person, Du Long began to watch the games of the other seventeen battlefields with great interest, and on the rostrum, the old man frowned and looked at the triumphant Du Long, turned his head to a certain mentor and said: "Go! Let the two byes not be idle, let the two of them fight!"

This mentor immediately got up and went to make arrangements, and Du Long, who was originally leisurely, could only meet up with another guy and start preparing for battle!

On the rostrum, the old man pointed to Xia Qinglian and said, "Old woman, do you see the woman in the white dress in the No. 7 area?

Following the direction of the old man's finger, the dean's wife looked at Xia Qinglian in the No. 7 competition hall with great interest, and couldn't help but nod and smile: "Yes, it is really the best in the negative physique, and the appearance is also very handsome!

The screening competition began soon, and compared with the excitement of the other dozen or so arenas, the two matches between Du Long and Xia Qinglian looked a little weird, and the winners and losers were determined in the blink of an eye.

In the arena where Du Long was, he didn't bother to feed his opponent, he directly dodged and took the initiative to attack, and blasted the opponent out of bounds with one palm, and Xia Qinglian's battlefield was almost the same!

After a year of penance under the Lingyun Mountain Absolute Valley, the two of them were still wearing heavy vests, and their strength was not comparable to that of opponents of the same level at all, not to mention that Du Long still had hidden strength!

'That's the end of it?!'

All the people outside the arena who were paying attention to the battle between Du Long and Xia Qinglian were dumbfounded, many people didn't understand what was going on, and the battle was over!

It is estimated that only two old guys in the entire playground can see the movements of Du Long and Xia Qinglian clearly, it is the dean and the old couple on the rostrum, the dean's old man's attention is focused on the battlefield where Du Long is, and the dean's wife is focused on Xia Qinglian.

"It seems like a simple blow, but in fact it is not simple at all, with the mysterious footwork, its opponent was blasted out of bounds without even putting on a defensive posture!" the dean's wife was stunned for a long time before muttering.
