Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 10 The Primary Election Begins
When the first breeze blew in the morning, the rooster crowed, and the early sun rose, Lin Pinghe got up early to practice the exercises as usual.
Chenshi, Inn
Lin Wudi came to the door and reminded: "Young Master, the hour has come, it's time to leave for the City Lord's Mansion." β
"Got it. β
The primary election of Nanhua Academy has been arranged in front of the city lord's mansion of Tianfeng City over the years, because it covers a vast area, there is a huge square that can accommodate twenty or thirty thousand people, the more the square goes to the center, the lower the terrain, and the layers of stone steps go down in turn, until the center is a flat land with a radius of two hundred meters, and all the tests of this primary election are arranged in the center of the flat land.
Lin Pinghe and his entourage squeezed in layer by layer, and this was only squeezed in by relying on the admission voucher obtained by registering in advance.
The whole square can be described as a sea of people, densely packed with about 20,000 people.
Lin Pinghe said a few words to Invincible and the others, touched Lin Invincible's little head, and turned around to enter the candidate area of the square.
This area is located in the outermost part of the square steps, all guarded by the city lord's palace guards, and then go inside, it is a long queue arranged according to the registration number, circle after circle along the edge of the circular square continues to extend, the team has a Nanhua Academy doorman every other section, wearing a green shirt, the word Nanhua on the arm is clearly visible, it seems that it should be the lowest level of the doorman, but this lowest level are all acquired martial artists, looking at the age is not too old, compared to the Xu family's most talented young master Xu Hao is just a first-class martial artist, it can be seen that the outstanding disciples of a big family in the city can barely enter the bottom of Nanhua Academyγ
Lin Pinghe also understands the situation of the previous primary elections, normal Tianfeng City plus nearby territorial villages, as many as 10,000 people of school age participated, but those who could be selected, there were only a dozen people, and the number of God's favor could exceed twenty. It can be seen from this that there is only one person in a thousand who has the ability to cultivate, and this is not even about the level of cultivation talent. Therefore, there are countless cases of various sects striving for young boys and girls who have the talent for cultivation regardless of their background, and there are countless cases of children from poor backgrounds jumping into the dragon gate through selection.
Lin Pinghe looked at the curtain building in the center of the City Lord's Mansion, the Supervision Bachelor sent by Nanhua Academy should be sitting in it, the Bachelor is the existence of the teacher level of Nanhua Academy, and his status is lofty, far from being comparable to the city lord. And Tianfeng City, the city lord of Tianfeng City, Tianfeng Wen, sat in the center of the square to build a platform nearby, and sat down with three blue-shirted men with Nanhua on their cuffs, obviously higher than Qingshan, it seems that at least they are all in the Qi training period.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~" The drums around sounded, and the drums stopped, and a popular Nanhua blue-shirted doorman, Shen Dantian, shouted: "The six-year Nanhua Academy primary election has begun, and everyone has started to test their qualifications in order." β
With the continuous beating of the drums, the Tianfeng family took the lead, and the children of the four major families began to select first, followed by other adaptable teenagers and girls outside the city who had registration vouchers.
At the beginning of the selection, I saw a white jade mirror in the center of the square is magical, and when I look at the passing teenager, I can show the age of his root bones on the mirror, and all those who do not match the age will be taken away immediately by the law enforcement guards, and only after this mirror can we enter the next high platform.
There are ten stone tablets on the high platform, and the candidates will print their hands on the stone tablet, and strive to sense the energy in the stone tablet and try to absorb it as much as possible, and the stone tablet will emit red, yellow, blue, blue, and purple colors according to the absorption of energy from less to more, representing the five qualifications of the people of Nanhua Academy, red is the worst, and purple is the best.
In the past few selections, only the Tianfeng family has had a cyan genius, and cyan means that there is hope to transcend the Qi training period and break through to the existence of the foundation building period.
"No qualifications, the next batch!" The inspector of Nanhua Academy saw that another batch of ten people had been eliminated, and he was accustomed to notifying the next batch of candidates.
Just when everyone was bored, the two steles suddenly burst into bright red and dazzling yellow respectively, and the two girls in front of the stele couldn't help but excitedly signal to their relatives and friends in the crowd.
"Tianfeng Family No. 43 and No. 47 have been selected!" the academy supervisor suddenly announced in a loud voice. Then, a green shirt and two girls left the square directly and led towards the high-rise building of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Oh my God, the Tianfeng family has produced two cultivators in a row, and there is also a yellow qualification, it is really prosperous. β
"Yes, yes, it seems that this Tianfeng City has to continue to be called Tianfeng"
The crowd immediately resounded with dense envy.
The city lord Tianfengwen, who was sitting in danger, couldn't help but bow his head and signal.
The crowd stirred for a while, and then calmed back, the selection continued, and continued to advance, one after another, six more teenagers became the lucky ones, and were led to see the bachelors of Nanhua College, and most of the unsuccessful ones hung their heads and left the square unwillingly and helplessly.
Lin Pinghe watched silently, all this is fair, but in fact, it is also fair, as long as you have qualifications, no matter your background. But if you want to say it's unfair, God is not fair, the vast majority of people are born with elimination.
"Oh my God, look, the Xu family is going to produce another cultivator again."
Lin Pinghe looked fixedly, only to see the red light, Xu Chujie stood quietly, as if feeling Lin Pinghe's gaze, Xu Chujie looked up to this side, and the two felt that the other party was looking at themselves from a long distance.
In a flash, Xu Chujie had been taken to a high-rise building, and Lin Pinghe was a little happy in his heart, it was better for this girl to be able to enter Nanhua Academy than to be beaten by her brother in the Xu family, but Lin Pinghe himself knew it.
Different from the excitement of other people's selection, Xu Chujie's entry seemed to be very calm, only watching the lively crowd shouting a few times, the Xu family had a complicated face about this, especially her brother, Xu Hao, was expressionless.
Lin Pinghe retracted his gaze and began to wait slowly, saying that it was slow, but in fact it was fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed, and he was about to test his qualifications. I don't know which restaurant has opened nearby, and the aroma of dishes has already arrived.
"Next!" shouted the Overseer.
"The ten of you go up and test in order. The guards in the audience reminded.
Lin Pinghe couldn't help but be happy in his heart, no matter what, it was finally his turn.
The crowd rushed in and stood in front of the stone monument in one row.
"Reach out and cling to the stele to absorb the induction. β
Lin Pinghe pressed his hands as requested, and immediately felt a wave of aura coming.
"Ding, find out if the aura is absorbed. β
Lin Pinghe thought about it, what should I do if I don't want to be hired.
The system seemed to be Lin Ping and the roundworm in his stomach, reminding: "Absorption will not be affected, but will change color due to the loss of energy in a short period of time." The key is to gain a lot of experience points. β
Lin Pinghe thought to himself, I want to enter the sect myself, isn't this just the picture, then I don't care about anything else, "System, absorb it directly." β
