On the easternmost side of the continent sits a small country, the Great Li Kingdom

Twenty years ago, the crown prince Li Xiaocheng ascended the throne and became the ninth generation of the Son of Heaven of the Great Li Kingdom.

After only half a month in office, he issued a new decree and built a school palace, and the common people were happy.

In the Great Li Kingdom, they were originally dominated by sects, especially the Moyan Sect and the Fengyu Sect were the most powerful, and their strength had caught up with the royal family in the past few years.

And there are very few school palaces, charging high tuition, and the quality of students is also uneven, and those who are a little talented are all favored by the big sects, and by the time the royal family goes, they have already become disciples of other sects.

Although the imperial examination will be held every year in the Great Li Kingdom, the pass rate is too low, even if it passes, it may not be able to be reused, and it is difficult to pay for ambitions, and choose the sect and become a disciple of the sect, there is a good backer, as long as you work hard, you will be discovered by the upper echelons, unlike the royal family who have to report layer by layer, and when the Son of Heaven sees it, the daylily is cold.

Because of this, the royal family has fewer and fewer talents every year, and the quality is not good.

In this regard, Li Xiaochen, the Son of Heaven, overrode public opinion and insisted on revitalizing the Xue Palace, he wanted to let every person who could cultivate show his talent, so that those talents could enter the royal family and strengthen the royal family.

In the first five years, all the newly built or original school palaces in various places were suppressed by the domestic sects, and the Son of Heaven was furious and sent the champion general Cheng Lin to destroy more than a dozen small sects and two second-rate sects overnight.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed, so that the whole country, large and small sects, fell silent, and did not dare to blatantly suppress the school palace, although secretly still went his own way, but this also achieved the effect that Li Xiaochen wanted.

Finally, ten years later, this policy was perfectly implemented, and basically every county has a primary school palace, every county has a middle school palace, and every state has a high school palace.

And in the entire Li Kingdom, there is only one university palace, Tianhe Xue Palace.

It is located in the imperial city, next to the court and the royal family, and it is a place comparable to the first-class sects in the United States.

On this continent, there is aura in the air, and those who can sense aura and are born with spiritual roots are destined to be superior.

Everyone who generates a spiritual root can enjoy the country's three-year compulsory education, which is an opportunity for children from ordinary families, and everyone is grateful to Li Xiaochen in their hearts, it is he who has changed the lives of many people.

......

Da Li State, Jingzhou, Lingjun County, Kaiqu County.

From the 18th to the 28th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year, it is the day of enrollment in the Kaiqu Academy.

Kaiqu School Palace, a primary school palace in Da Li, for convenience, except for Tianhe School Palace, all school palaces are named after places.

Today happens to be the eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and in the Ning Mansion of the four giants of Kaiqu County, fifty-eight children who have reached the age of seven have gathered on the martial arts training ground, ready to go.

In front of them was a two-meter-high platform, on which an old man with crane hair and a childish face stood with a serious face.

"Today is the time for you to change your lives, and after today, some of you will become admirable monks. ”

"Well, do you want to be a monk? ”

The old man's voice was loud and reached the ears of every child.

"Think"

"Be loud," the old man said dissatisfied.

"Think"

"Is there any faith?"

"Yes"

Immediately, the teenagers' answers erupted in the martial arts training ground, which was deafening, and their tones were full of confidence.

The old man was extremely satisfied with this, his serious expression became soft, and he looked at the child in front of him, full of kindness, but thinking of the accident five years ago, he glanced in the northwest direction, and the original joy was also diluted a lot, and he was a little regretful.

He is the current lord of Ning Mansion, Ning Zhan, one of the four masters of Kaiqu County, with strong strength, although he has reached the twilight of his life, he is still in good spirits.

"Departure"

Immediately, Ning Zhan gave an order, and he personally took all his children to the Kaiqu School Palace in the center of the county.

After they left, a handsome and thin young man stood at the door, watching everyone go away, his eyes suddenly longing and helpless, constantly intertwined.

It wasn't until the figures disappeared that the boy withdrew his gaze, sighed and turned his head away.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this our Ning Mansion's great genius Ning Hong?

"Oh, I forgot, you're a piece of shit now, hahahaha"

A shrill sound came from behind, causing Ning Hong to stop.

The speaker was a young man holding a folding fan, wearing an ink-colored shirt, his jet-black hair was combed in a neat bun on the top of his head, set in a delicate white jade hair crown, his delicate face showed a perfect side face under the sun, and a pair of slender and clean hands blocked the sun from time to time, with a scholarly temperament.

This person's name is Ning Hong, which is very similar to the pronunciation of his name, and he is the same age as Ning Hong, but the status of the two is completely different.

Ning Hong was only a child of the Ning family's side branch before, to put it bluntly, their family was a miscellaneous worker in the Ning family, but six years ago, the fate of this young man was changed, and he was sent to the middle school palace after graduating from the primary school palace.

In the Ning family, the last time a three-rank spiritual root appeared was a hundred years ago, and it was remarkable that one of his side disciples could awaken the three-grade spiritual root.

Originally, he should be the most dazzling person in the Ning family.

However, because of the young man in front of him, the son of the eldest son of the Ning family, the future heir of the mansion lord, the Jiupin Linggen, once shook the entire Great Li Kingdom.

Shang Shu ordered Lin Decai to visit on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and carried the edict to give Ning Hong the time to open the pulse, to escort the Tianhe School Palace, what a lot of face, and he, Ning Hong's light, was extremely weak for this, he could not know the terrifying talent of the Nine Rank Spiritual Root.

After that, all the large and small forces in Kaiqu County came to the Ning family, except for the Mo family.

All the resources in the family were once inclined to Ning Hong, and he, Ning Hong, got less than one percent, which made him very jealous.

But God is also fair, as the old saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and being too good is sometimes a mistake.

Five years ago, in just one year, Ning Hong had reached the ninth order of quenching, and he, a disciple of the side branch, although he had excellent talent, had no resources, and barely reached the third order of quenching, but he knew that even if he had resources, he would reach the height of the fourth order at most, and he was jealous, jealous that after Ning Hong broke through to the Open Pulse Realm, he would enter the Tianhe Academy Palace, which everyone dreamed of.

It happened to be that time, the Mid-Autumn Festival five years ago.

That night, the moon was unusually round, and the streets were brightly lit and lively.

Ning Hong took eight followers to enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But something unfortunate happened on that day.

On their way back to the house, when they passed by the gate of the Mo Mansion, a figure suddenly rushed out and hit Ning Hong's dantian with a heavy fist.

Before everyone could react, Ning Hong's figure had already flown out, crashed through a good wall, and then fainted to the ground, unconscious.

When he woke up again, he found that he was still alive, and it was a good thing.

But the bad news also came, his dantian was broken, no one could repair it, and he could no longer become a monk.

At that time, his young heart was filled with endless panic, which also achieved the murderer's purpose, abolishing geniuses is often more cool than killing geniuses.

You must know that in this world, monks use the dantian to extract the trace of aura that is free in the space to improve themselves, once the dantian is shattered, the aura in it continues to pass, it is equivalent to becoming a wasted person, and the monk has no chance for a lifetime.

That time, Ning Hong was also there, and after hearing that Ning Hong was deposed, he did not appear sad and frightened, but with endless joy, he saw endless resources beckoning to him, which should have been his.

But because of this incident, the two families almost fought, and in the end it was over, I don't know why, since then, his father and grandfather seem to be much older, and those who used to talk to themselves have become more and more cold, and even strangers.

He's just a declining genius.
