Going up the stairs further, you trampled the sea of clouds under your feet.

Everywhere you look, there are continuous pavilions and pavilions, and there are many people wearing disciple clothes everywhere.

A group of people looked left and right, and followed Wu Mingshan to the outside of a tall palace.

Temple of Inquiry!

Wu Mingshan restrained his smile and said solemnly:

"The second level of assessment is to test your perseverance and whether you have a persevering heart. ”

"Qinglian, you come with me, and the others go in to participate in the assessment. ”

Qinglian was still a little scared, pulling Qingshi's sleeve and refusing to let go.

"Silly sister," Qingshi smiled, "You follow Elder Wu and listen to Elder Wu's arrangement." ”

Liu Ao also encouraged: "Qinglian, you must believe in yourself!"

Qinglian turned around step by step, and finally left with Wu Mingshan.

The moment Liu Ao and Qingshi walked into the main hall, they both smiled.

I saw hemispherical transparent formations upside down on the ground, and the spiritual light in the formation was overwhelming, which made people unable to see it really.

"Phantom Array," Liu Ao muttered, this is the most commonly used formation to test one's heart.

When Liu Ao was in the Demon Army, he had undergone several formation tests.

After all, fighting with the demon clan on the battlefield, facing life and death all year round, there is often a danger of collapse.

Such a formation is used to evaluate the psychological state of the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army, if the assessment is not qualified and the mind is lost in the formation, then this person is not suitable to stay on the battlefield.

"Line up in ten columns, step forward in turn!"

A middle-aged tutor held a pen and paper with a serious expression, "Hurry up." ”

Some people became sluggish the moment they entered the formation, and then their expressions kept changing, and some were in a state of madness.

Naturally, these people did not pass this assessment.

Soon it was Liu Ao and Qingshi's turn, the two glanced at each other, and each walked into the formation in front of them.

As soon as he sat down cross-legged, Liu Ao felt that his brain was dizzy and his consciousness was gradually blurred.

In the confusion, there seemed to be scenes flashing in Liu Ao's mind.

That was the hardship that Liu Ao had suffered in Liu's family when he was a child, recalling this scene, Liu Ao's expression gradually became hateful and hideous.

Outside the formation, the middle-aged mentor recorded Liu Ao's changes in detail, and just when he thought that Liu Ao was about to lose his mind, he saw Liu Ao's expression gradually calm down.

The hatred has been avenged, and it's time to let go.

Liu Ao kept his heart, and suddenly immersed himself in the fight with the demon clan.

Joined the army at the age of nine, from the fear and helplessness when he first saw the demon clan, to gradually becoming a squad leader later, the hardships he has endured, and he still recalls it creepy. ，

In just a few breaths, Liu Ao only felt like he had lived the past twenty years again.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was deep, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

If he could, Liu Ao would prefer to be with his parents and spend his life in peace.

Unfortunately, wishes always appear because of regrets, and they may not be fulfilled for the rest of their lives.

Looking at the formation next to him, Qingshi's face was hideous, obviously falling into some kind of terrifying memory.

Liu Ao slowly got up and walked out of the formation, and heard the middle-aged mentor who was in charge of recording nodding and saying:

"Jamin, pass. ”

After a while, Qingshan, who was wet with cold sweat, finally came to his senses, his eyes were full of fear, and he took a deep breath and walked out of the formation.

"Aoyama, pass. ”

After another half an hour, everyone who should have woken up woke up, and those who fell into the illusion and couldn't extricate themselves were also awakened one by one by this mentor who closed the formation.

According to statistics, less than 30 people have passed today's assessment.

"Congratulations on becoming a disciple of the outer courtyard of Jiuding Academy," the middle-aged tutor pointed to the white academy uniforms placed on the table next to him, "Five sets per person, and after you take them, the senior brother will take you to the accommodation area." ”

A smile finally appeared on Liu Ao's face, and it seemed that things were going more smoothly than expected.

After a moment, a short and fat senior brother came over with a smile and introduced;

"Senior Brother Jia Ming, Senior Brother Qingshan, my name is Jiang Suan, you come with me. ”

Out of the Hall of Inquiry, Jiang Suan pointed to the magnificent building complex on the top of the mountain and said:

"It's the main hall, and it's where all the affairs of the academy are handled. ”

"You have to remember that you can't go without consent. ”

Liu Ao raised his eyes and saw that the building complex was golden and brilliant, solemn and solemn, like a continuous heavenly palace.

Stepping on a bluestone road and walking up, Jiang Suan continued to smile:

"The college also has two large areas, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, which are on the left with four peaks and four on the right. ”

When he came to a platform at a higher place, Liu Ao found that there were eight thigh-thick pitch-black chains on the platform.

The eight chains kept moving forward, submerging into the clouds and white mist, as if suspended in the air.

"You have to remember," Jiang Suan reminded:

"The nine peaks around Jiuding City are all the territory of our academy, and the four chains on the left lead to the four peaks on the left, which is the outer courtyard. ”

"The four chains on the right lead to the four peaks of the inner courtyard, but don't go wrong. ”

"In addition, there is a chain link between each peak, and you will gradually get acquainted with it. ”

Qingshi's eyelids jumped, "Senior Brother Jiang, how long is this chain road?"

Jiang Xuan grinned, "It's not long, it's not long, the shortest one is only five miles." ”

The corners of Qingshi's mouth twitched, but he saw that Liu Ao's face was full of excitement, and he had actually raised his foot and stepped on the chain.

There was no shaking!

Jiang Shu gave Liu Ao a thumbs up, "Be courageous." ”

After saying that, he stepped on the chain with Qingshi and continued to walk forward.

About half an hour later, the shadow of a tall mountain peak appeared in front of me.

When he got closer, Liu Ao clearly saw that there were large buildings hundreds of zhang down from the top of the mountain, and there were many figures everywhere.

"The number of inner disciples is more than 20,000," Jiang Shuan jumped off the iron rope and stood on the platform at the top of the mountain and looked down:

"This is Zuo Yifeng, you go find a house that no one lives in, and then have a good rest, wait for me here early tomorrow morning, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of the academy. ”

Liu Ao hugged his fists, "Then it's troublesome senior brother." ”

Jiang Suan waved his hand, blinked his eyes and smiled:

"Senior Brother Jia Ming took out thirty spirit stones today to help Senior Sister Qinglian conduct a pulse test, and I am also familiar with it, in the future, Senior Sister Qinglian will have a good reputation, and I can also get rid of it." ”

Liu Ao liked Jiang Shuan's true temperament, smiled and took out a spirit stone and handed it over, "Senior brother, I have something to inquire about." ”

Jiang Shu took the spirit stone extremely naturally, and smiled even brighter,

"Senior brother, you say, I know everything. ”

Liu Ao remembered the letter of introduction that Zhou Wuya gave him before leaving, saying that he could let Liu Ao worship a senior with the surname Murong as a teacher.

Thinking of this, Liu Ao couldn't help but ask softly:

"Senior Brother Jiang Shuan, in our academy, can there be a tutor with the surname Murong?"

Jiang Suan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, "There are people with the surname Murong in our academy, but they are not mentors." ”

Liu Ao's face was full of doubts, Zhou Wuya would not lie to himself.

"There is a vice dean of our academy named Murong Yu, I don't know if it's the person you inquire," Jiang Suan smiled and waved his hand, "After two days, you are familiar with the academy, and you will naturally know the names of the seniors in the academy, let's not talk about it first, you go and find a house to live in, and we will gather here tomorrow morning." ”

After Jiang Shu left, Liu Ao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The vice president named Murong Yu could be the senior Zhou Wuya said?

If so, would he take himself as an apprentice?

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Ao decided to take a look at the situation first and adapt to the life of the college.

"Don't be in a daze," Qingshi pointed to the building on the mountainside, his eyes lit up, "Let's go and choose a house first, and then go to Qinglian to ask about the situation." ”

Liu Ao nodded and walked down side by side with Qingshi.

Slowly approaching, there was a commotion in the complex.

White-robed academy disciples could be seen everywhere, but most of them were in a hurry, and few of them lingered.

Liu Ao took a look, there were many criss-crossing paths in this building complex, and the further down the building, the fewer people there were.

The two of them looked left and right, and came to the dozens of wooden buildings at the bottom.

As soon as he got closer, he saw more than a dozen freshmen surrounding a young man, all holding a spirit stone in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the group turned back.

"Yo, isn't this Jia Ming~" Li Hong, who was surrounded by the crowd, chuckled, "What a coincidence, you are also assigned to Zuo Yifeng." ”

"Remember what I said? ”

Qingshi glanced at Li Hong with disdain, "Are you very long?"

Li Hong was stunned, and before he could react, he heard Liu Ao sneer.

This guy Qingshi is a little annoying when he speaks.

Li Hong instantly understood, and a touch of anger appeared on his face, "Don't think that if your sister enters the inner courtyard, you can show off your power in front of me!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Li Hong is everyone's son, where is that little girl comparable. ”

A group of freshmen who took Li Hong's spirit stone echoed one after another: "Talent does not represent strength, cultivation does not only rely on talent, spirit stones are the key." ”

Liu Ao smiled, "Do you have a lot of spirit stones?"

"Compare your net worth with me?" Li Hong smiled playfully and pointed to the storage bag hanging from his waist, "I don't dare to say more, I don't care about the thousand eight hundred spirit stones." ”

"Senior Brother Li Hong is domineering!"

"Do you hear that, Jia Ming, don't think that you have dozens of spirit stones and go to the sky. ”

Liu Ao was speechless, "Qingshi, don't pay attention to this group of little children, let's choose a house." ”

Seeing Liu Ao and Qingshi raising their feet to leave, Li Hong made a look.

More than a dozen freshmen rushed to Liu Ao with a smile and stretched out their hands to stop him and Qingshi.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, we will all be brothers in the future, don't we exchange feelings?"

"Yes, Jia Ming, how many spirit stones do you have, take them out and take a look?"

"Qingshi, your sister has entered the inner courtyard, look, do you want to invite everyone to Jiuding City to celebrate?"

"My sister went into the inner courtyard to take care of your," Qingshi snorted coldly, "Am I familiar with you?"

"Stingy," Li Hong walked over with his hands behind his back, "Since they are reluctant, then I invite everyone to go to the city to play." ”

"Senior Brother Li Hong is mighty!" Someone sneered: "Jia Ming, have you seen it, this is the real family's son, not a person like you who is arrogant with a little spirit stone can compare." ”

Liu Ao paused, glanced back at Li Hong, who was full of smugness, and suddenly smiled:

"Since you have a lot of spirit stones, it shouldn't be a problem to give each of them five more, right?"
