Ye Chen hiked back to the Beilu Academy from the Beilu Mountains, recuperated for a few days, washed away the fatigue of three months of hard training in the deep mountains, ate and drank enough, and nourished his qi, blood and spirit.

In mid-June, it was the day of the college appraisal and assessment.

"Today is the mid-year appraisal assessment of Beilu Academy, whether you can pass it depends on this time!"

Ye Chen changed into a brand-new cyan shirt, new cloth shoes, tied a cloth belt, tied leg guards, and methodically put on a pair of coarse cloth wrist guards on his hands. He is already at the sixth level of the body refining stage, his strength is enough, and the chance of passing is seventy percent certain, and he is not in a hurry.

"This kind of coarse cloth shirt is still the outfit I only wore when I was in the lower house. It's a pity that my money is used for cultivation, and I don't have spare money to buy better mid-martial arts armor, so on today's important occasion, I can only wear this best shirt to participate. ”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

He tidied up his clothes, and then left the hut and came to the lively martial arts training field of the academy.

There is a large age difference among the students in the upper house, ranging from twelve or thirteen to twenty years old.

If you haven't passed the appraisal assessment at the age of twenty, then you can get out of the college roll directly. After many students entered the upper courtyard at the fourth level of the body refining period, they were never able to reach the sixth layer of the body refining stage, and they had to leave gloomily until they were twenty years old.

Ye Chen is fifteen years old this year, which is considered a middle age among the disciples of the Upper Court. However, he entered the Upper House relatively late, and most of the people here are his senior brothers and sisters.

The disciples of the Beilu Academy are in groups of threes and twos, the disciples of the wealthy and powerful are together, the disciples of the big families are together, the children of the rich businessmen and wealthy families are together, and the children of ordinary people are together, and they are automatically grouped.

Students of different statuses have a natural estrangement and generally do not get mixed together.

Of course, there are also some mavericks, such as Yan Han, who is almost alone at any time, strong and indifferent, and no one wants to stand next to him within a few feet to feel the cold.

Ye Chen is a commoner's child, and when he meets those who are also commoners, he will only say a few polite words, he will not be bored to greet the disciples of wealthy families.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the school grounds, more than 200 students from the upper courtyard arrived.

Li Cang, the head of the upper court who presided over the appraisal and assessment, and more than a dozen head coaches, came to the school field.

In the upper courtyard of Beilu Academy, a total of more than 200 young male and female students, seeing the head of the school Li Cang, appeared, they quickly lined up neatly in a large square on the school field, silent and silent, looking straight ahead without squinting.

Li Cang came to stand still in front of the students, and swept the students with cold eyes.

"Beilu Academy conducts appraisal and assessment twice a year, respectively in the middle of the year and at the end of the year. The first thing to do is to conduct a strength appraisal, and only when it reaches the 'sixth level of the refining period and the intermediate level of martial arts' can it be regarded as reaching the standard. ”

"Only disciples who meet the strength appraisal standards can carry out the next more brutal graduation assessment. ”

"Once you pass the graduation assessment, the academy will be recommended to the Wuguo Imperial Court and will be reused by the Imperial Court. In the future, it will be a success, and it will be a big deal, and it will be a big deal! You must know that almost half of the important ministers and generals of the Wu Kingdom are from our Beilu Academy!"

"Today, it's up to you to see the results of your cultivation in the past six months! The strength appraisal begins, who will play first?!"

After Li Cang finished speaking, he shouted.

"The disciple is cold, willing to give it a try!"

Yan Han stood at the front of the line, stepped out of the ranks, and said coldly. He is currently recognized as the strongest martial artist in the upper courtyard of Beilu Academy, and he is not allowed to be the first to go on the field for strength appraisal, and no one will compete with him

Beilu Academy.

Dean Tao of the academy personally accompanied a young man in white shirt to walk on the stone path of the academy and walk in the direction of the martial arts training school.

Behind the two of them, there were more than a dozen high-level officials who followed the academy, such as Shi Geng, the head of the lower academy, and so on. Judging by their faces and words, they were quite flattering to the young man.

"Dean Tao, the environment of your academy is quite quiet!"

The young man said.

What Zheng Gongzi said is that the academy is backed by the mountains at the northern foothills, with green mountains and beautiful waters, but it is also quiet, and it is a suitable place for martial arts practice. ”

Dean Tao said with a smile.

"Your academy is located in a corner of the rear of the Wu Kingdom, far away from the flames of war, but it is quite easy. But Wu Guo has reached the brink of crisis, and several surrounding countries continue to encroach on Wu Guo's land. In the past few years, the martial arts team has been fighting year after year, and the middle-level generals have lost a lot of casualties, and a group of middle-level generals are urgently needed, as well as town-level warriors, to stabilize the territory of the martial arts. Dean Tao's burden is not light. ”

The young man sarcastically said lukewarmly.

"This~~ What Zheng Gongzi said is. It is my duty to do my best to cultivate outstanding disciples. ”

Dean Tao sweated slightly, a little embarrassed, but he didn't refute it.

As the dean of the Beilu Academy, he was a ninth-level martial artist in the body refining period, and his status in the martial arts country was extremely high. A large number of generals in the Wu Kingdom were from the academy. When that important minister of the court saw him, he didn't pretend to be a disciple!

But in the face of this young man, there is no temper.

Zheng Zhicheng, the most popular genius martial artist in King Wu City. Later, he was accepted as a disciple of the national teacher of the Wu Kingdom.

When he was the national teacher of the dynasty, the real immortal cultivator of the Xianmen faction, his status was transcendent, and even when the master of the Wu Kingdom saw him, he had to visit him politely and in person.

Zheng Zhicheng is a personal disciple of **, and it is rumored that the two are related by blood.

With Zheng Zhicheng's identity, he may become an immortal cultivator in the near future, and his future status is far above Dean Tao, and he will not give Dean Tao face at all.

The more than ten high-level scholars who followed behind the two of them, in the face of Zheng Zhicheng's naked ridicule, glanced at each other, but they didn't even dare to say a word.

"Gongzi Zheng, as far as the old man knows, the Wu family, the lord of the Wu Kingdom, is the heir of an immortal chief of the Jinding Gate, one of the nine immortal sects in Yunzhou. With the support of the Jin Ding Gate, the status of the Wu Clan's dominance of the Wu Clan should not be shaken, right?"

Dean Tao thought for a moment and asked cautiously. As a secular martial artist, it is difficult to understand the dynamics of the Immortal Gate. Only Zheng Zhicheng, a disciple of the national teacher, can have access to detailed information.

"Of course, Jindingmen will not sit idly by. Xianmen sent my master** to sit in the city of King Wu, just to prevent the Wu clan from being harmed. However, those of us who cultivate immortals cannot meddle in the war of the secular realm at will, otherwise it will cause conflicts in the immortal gate. To fight on the battlefield, you secular generals need to do your best. In the past, a predecessor of the Jinding Sect founded the Beilu Academy precisely to cultivate more outstanding martial artists in the Martial Kingdom!"

The young man said with some pride.

"Of course!"

Dean Tao smiled, but he still slandered in his heart, obviously he was still a martial artist in the body refining period, but he regarded himself as an immortal cultivator.

Dean Tao accompanied Zheng Zhicheng and chatted all the way to the academy to practice martial arts.

At this time, Li Cang, the head of the sect, was appraising the strength of the students in the upper court.

Dean Tao and a group of them stood on the side of the school to watch.

The students of the academy were a little strange when they saw Dean Tao, who rarely appeared, accompanied a young man to watch, and many people looked at it one after another.

"My master sent me to the Beilu Academy this time to see how the academy is cultivating disciples. In this group of students, are there any people with special qualifications who can be reused?"

The young man said.

"Absolutely!"

Dean Tao finally talked about something to be proud of, and introduced the outstanding disciples in the academy, "There are several disciples in this academy who are very outstanding this year, Yan Han, Ma Ruyuan, and Wei Xuanyu, all of whom are at the sixth level of the body refining stage, and their martial arts are extremely exquisite. These three people are all children of the five wealthy families and ten families of the Martial Kingdom, and they are very promising to become Zhenguo-level martial artists in the future. ”

Dean Tao reminded in particular.

"Oh, yes! ”

The young man smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"Sect Leader Li!"

Dean Tao drank lightly at Li Cang and gestured.

Li Cang knew that the dean wanted an outstanding disciple to show off and fight for face for the academy, so he immediately shouted, "Ma Ruyuan, come on!"

The cold is the strongest.

However, in terms of body refining qualifications, it was Ma Ruyuan who had the best qualifications, who only broke through the fourth layer of body refining eight months ago and was promoted to a disciple of the upper court, and rushed to the sixth layer of the body refining period in just eight months. Yan Han took a longer time, more than a year, but his sword skills were extremely domineering, and his combat power ranked first.
