() Holy Heavenly Emperor City, Qinglong District, Kang Somewhere.

There is a huge courtyard group covering an area of hundreds of acres, with black tiles and white walls, antique.

There are two stone lions at the gate, and there is a garden in front of the gate, and there is a huge statue of a saint ten feet high standing in the garden.

This place is where the Yuanshan Academy, which is famous throughout the Holy Heavenly Emperor City, is located, and at this moment, before dawn, the academy is already full of literati students who have come to take the exam.

Lei Luo was in an inconspicuous corner, holding a blue-covered booklet and reading it carefully, and this book was not a scripture, but a miscellaneous book of the imperial city.

As for why Yuanshan Academy has such a great reputation, and there are so many students who come from thousands of miles away to worship under the academy, it is also recorded in this book.

The academies in the imperial city are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the first-class academies have the famous Su Ru of the Holy Emperor Dynasty personally teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the objects of teaching are also the children of officials and eunuchs with great status.

The second-class academies are all from the name of the first-class colleges, some of which are branches, and some of which are from the Confucian self-reliance portals of the great colleges.

For example, Baifeng Academy, which was once classified as a branch of Yuanshan Academy, is the best among the second-class academies.

The small No. 1 academies around Yuanshan Academy were also funded and built by those who graduated from the academy, served as an official in the court for many years, and retired from the Confucian famous house.

These academies are also related to Yuanshan Academy, and even the great Confucians in these second-class academies have seen the teaching of Yuanshan Academy, and they have to perform disciple ceremonies.

In the case of the third-class academy, some talented Confucian students will teach the basic ideas of Confucianism and teach some of the most basic scriptures.

But don't underestimate these Confucian students, in terms of talent, the Confucian scholars from the imperial city are not fuel-efficient lamps.

It is said that the Confucian scholars in the imperial dynasty went to the places of the four directions, but they were all talents who were competing for the county guards.

Moreover, when these Confucian students were teaching, once they found an excellent disciple with both ability and political integrity, they would recommend them to the higher-level academies and let them worship in the second-class or even first-class academies.

As long as you have the virtue and virtue, even if you are a little beggar on the side of the road, you can soar to the sky, learn the Confucian way of sages, and you may be able to become a member of the court in the future.

As long as the Confucian students came out of the second-class academies, they were very popular with the upper echelons of the imperial city, and as for the Confucian students who came out of the first-class academies, even those feudal officials and the princes' families tried their best to recruit them.

These are the best opportunities for poor disciples to change their own destiny and ascend to heaven in one step.

Moreover, in the entire Imperial City, there are only five or six first-class academies, and these five or six are also in order, and the two academies with the greatest reputation and strength are the Yuanshan Academy and the Shengtian Academy.

It is said that the Shengtian Academy only recruits disciples of the nobles of the palace, and they must go through layers of selection before they can enter this academy, and this academy does not accept disciples from the poor sect.

However, I heard that most of the disciples of the current royal family, that is, the Huangfu family, have also entered the Shengtian Academy, and the third son of the King of Beiliang has come to worship the Shengtian Academy in the imperial dynasty.

Thinking that he didn't have to study with those disciples of the family, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not be able to restrain his killing intent and slaughter them all, and the dynasty might be in chaos.

"Brother Lei, you're really early!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

I saw a delicate girl wearing a white dress and a white skirt, with a peach face, and skin like congealed cream, walked to his side, and the one who could say hello like this was naturally Mo Xiangling.

This woman did not wear a veil this time, she should have known that the entrance examination needed to verify her true face, so she deliberately did not wear it.

Lei Luo also saw the true face of this woman for the first time, and I have to say that this woman is really worthy of the beauty of sinking fish and geese, and being ashamed of flowers in the closed moon.

I saw that the male disciples around them all looked sideways at this woman, and their eyes were full of amazement.

There were even some young disciples who had never seen the world and kept sneaking around, and when they saw someone looking at them, they immediately shrank back again, like an ostrich.

"It turns out that Miss Mo has arrived, but this is the examination room of Yuanshan Academy, didn't you choose Baifeng Academy?"

As a result, this naturally provoked Mo Xiangling to cover her mouth and chuckle, and then the woman explained.

It turned out that including Baifeng Academy, all the other academies under Yuanshan were all in Yuanshan Academy.

Sure enough, in the distance, there was a group of young disciples who were not very old and were walking towards the entrance of the Yuanshan Academy at this moment, and these should be the disciples of the other subordinate academies.

And as the sky gradually rose, there were more and more people here, and the gathering became denser and denser, and even there was a long queue at the gate of the entire Yuanshan Academy.

Lei Luo roughly estimated that there were actually nearly 10,000 people here, and this was still the Yuanshan Academy and several subordinate academies.

Counting the other Shengtian Academy, as well as several other first-class academies, there must be at least tens of thousands of students coming to the Imperial Dynasty for assessment this time, and counting those medium-sized academies, this number will increase exponentially.

Just when the surroundings began to crowd people, Lei Luo felt a burst of fragrance, it turned out to be Mo Xiangling, and the woman actually leaned over gradually.

He touched his nose and secretly said that he was really so reassuring that the other party actually chose to rely on himself.

But he didn't do anything villain, and after getting out of the way, he protected Mo Xiangling's daughter behind him, and he turned his back to this woman.

This was to make the young disciples beside him secretly say that it was a pity, and at the same time, Mo Xiangling was very surprised, because the person in front of him was really not moved by himself.

It may be that Lei Luo's 'serious' behavior is to let the people around him see it, and he saw a slender white-clothed figure in the distance approaching this side quickly, and finally squeezed into Mo Xiangling's side.

Then the figure showed a friendly smile to Lei Luo and Mo Xiangling, and this person was actually a woman.

This is a girl with a delicate appearance, eyebrows and phoenixes, teeth like braided shells, and a slight swirl of pear cheeks when she laughs.

This woman is slender and thin, as if a gust of wind can blow down, giving people a soft and boneless feeling of softness, it seems that this woman can't stand the crowd's squeeze, so she wants to take refuge here.

"The little girl, Ruan Qingzhu, has met the two," the woman then introduced herself.

Lei Luo was slightly surprised that the woman in front of him was not as thin as her appearance, and even the blood in her body was as fresh as Mo Xiangling, but her breath was very strange.

If you open your eyes and look at this woman, you will find that the other party is really pitiful, but if you perceive the other party's breath, you will find that there is also a faint spiritual power fluctuation around this woman.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, either this woman has a special physique, so the qi and blood in her body are fresh, or this woman uses a rather superb concealment method, and even the breath and even everything is hidden by it.

"In Xia Leiluo, this time I came to participate in the admission assessment of Yuanshan Academy, this is Miss Mo, and this time I signed up for Baifeng Academy, which is under Yuanshan Academy," Lei Luo said after pondering for a while.

After finishing speaking, he made a fist salute, and Mo Xiangling also saluted politely.

"What, I didn't expect such a coincidence, the little girl also applied for the Yuanshan Academy today, so it is very likely that she is a classmate of Brother Lei!" After hearing that Lei Luo had applied for the Yuanshan Academy, Ruan Qingzhu said with a happy face.

This is a coincidence that someone did secretly say after listening to it, but then there was a hint of weirdness on his face.

Because ordinary women are not the kind of people who can withstand the hard work of Yuanshan Academy, especially the slender and thin woman in front of her, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Even Lei Luo can already be sure that there must be a big problem with Mo Xiangling and Ruan Qingzhu in front of him, one may be a coincidence, these two women are eager to approach him, and they must have some plans.

He doesn't think that his jade tree is in the wind, and he looks like Pan An, and he can have the ability to attract bees and butterflies, and these two women are not good at first glance.

But what made him strange was that it might be easier for women to talk to each other, and these two good-looking girls were eagerly talking at the moment, and after a while they even began to be sisters.

"What, it turns out that Sister Ruan is really older than me, so am I the youngest of the three of us?" At this moment, Mo Xiangling asked Ruan Qingzhu's age, revealing a hint of girlish coquettishness.

After saying that, the woman blinked and looked at someone, and the meaning was really obvious.

"Lei just passed the year of the crown not long ago, and he is indeed a little older than the two girls!" Lei Luo admitted very dryly.

Mortals who can live for a hundred years call the age of 20 "crowned" or "crowned", and some thin people call themselves "weak crowns", he has at least a thousand years of life, and two hundred years old is also the age of "crowning".

As for the ages of Mo Xiangling and Ruan Qingzhu, he didn't want to ask more, after all, it was not rational to ask a woman's age, and immortal cultivators didn't care what age they were.

However, he always felt strange at the thought that the two women in front of him might be infancy monks and pretend to be tender in front of him.

"Really, then in the future, please take care of Brother Lei more, maybe we still have a friendship with classmates!" Ruan Qingzhu answered.

After finishing speaking, the woman took out a book from the cloth bag behind her and began to study it, and Lei Luo also picked up the book in his hand and began to look through it with interest.

Only Mo Xiangling, a woman, seems to be very confident in passing the assessment, and she hasn't even read the book from beginning to end.

However, compared to the normal behavior of the three of them, some people in the distance behaved very abnormally.

I saw that under the statue of the saint in the distance, some people were actually cramming Buddha's feet, oh no, they were worshipping the statue of the saint, as if they were seeking refuge for themselves.

Even Lei Luo's eyes detected that some people were making 'cheat sheets', sweeping the paper of some books into their belts and even the mezzanine of their robes, doing some opportunistic things.

"It's a shame that they are still familiar with the books of the sages, and they don't want to be ashamed of this etiquette, righteousness, and shame, and actually do such speculative villain behavior!" he said in his heart.

However, he wouldn't bother with these people, because just now, he had already swept through the Yuanshan Academy with his divine sense, and found that there were actually many foundation building period monks in it.

These foundation-building monks exuded an aura of immensity, and it was obvious that they were all Confucian monks.

This means that there will be a foundation monk invigilating the assessment this time, so it is estimated that it will be difficult for these people who cheat in the assessment to succeed.

Just as the students outside the door were anxiously waiting, the assessment of the Far Mountain Academy was finally about to officially begin.

As the door of the academy opened, a Confucian student walked out slowly, and this person was the host who was responsible for coordinating the admission assessment this time.

"All the assessment disciples listen, the disciples of the subordinate branches go in first, and the assessment disciples of the Yuanshan Academy wait outside for a while!" the man announced loudly.

Although the man's voice was not loud, it was able to reach the ears of everyone within a few miles of it, and it seemed to be using a kind of sonic supernatural ability.

"Then Sister Ruan, Brother Lei, Xiangling will take the first step, and we'll see you in the academy!" Mo Xiangling said goodbye.

Lei Luo and Ruan Qingzhu naturally returned the favor politely, and gave advice.

"You guys stop, you, you, and you, you don't need to go in, we don't welcome cheaters in Yuanshan Academy!"

At this moment, the few people who had been cheating just now pointed out their identities with a cold expression.

The people who were named suddenly showed bitterness, and some people couldn't even bear the pressure and cried out with a "wow".

But it was useless, when they chose to cheat, they would no longer be able to get the curtain of the saints, and even no academy would be willing to take them in in the future.

Because of a momentary opportunistic shortcut, he ruined his future, and it was really a matter of stealing chickens and rice.
