Chapter 3 The Wave(1/2)
"This mentioned a sect called the "Heshan Sword Sect" in ancient times. The requirement to collect formal disciples is to practice the introductory mental methods of the Heshan Sword Sect to the third level within one year. The association has made a special judgment on this introductory mental method. The difficulty of practicing is six black stripes. Do you think how many formal disciples can the Heshan Sword Sect successfully collect among the about 300 registered disciples every year?"
Li Xing said to Ning Xiaoning.
"Yellow-grade third grade, six black stripes..."
Ning Xiaoning thought about it and guessed a number she thought was already very large, "Thirty?"
Li Xing smiled and shook his head:
"It's one hundred, sometimes even close to half of the people can pass the test."
Ning Xiaoning showed a surprised look.
You should know that the yellow-level martial arts on the martial soul platform are all peerless martial arts with a score of 100+, while more than 90% of the people in China do not even have the qualifications to practice peerless martial arts because they cannot get started.
Even if a person who can successfully get started, it is difficult to practice the six black stripes martial arts skills to the third level or above within one year. It is basically no problem for those who can do it to become a second-tier martial star, and there is a chance to attack the first-tier martial star.
As a result, during that period of the Heshan Sword Sect, there were actually 100 out of the 300 people who could train them to the third level or above in one year?!
“This is too….”
Ning Xiaoning doesn’t know how to describe it.
"If I tell you again, the Heshan Sword Sect was only a second-rate sect in ancient times, and the territory it controlled was only one city and only had more than 100,000 people under its control. What do you think?"
Li Xing continued.
"No wonder you think that people from ancient times had better qualifications to practice martial arts."
Ning Xiaoning nodded and understood what her boyfriend meant.
After experiencing "The Battle of the Dingding" and meeting warriors in the Tianyuan period, she can be 100% sure that people in this period definitely do not have such good martial arts qualifications, otherwise the number of divine talisman guards would not be so small.
"If calculated based on the data of this Heshan Sword Sect, then any first-class sect that controlled a state in ancient times might have a similar comprehensive strength to the current Chinese martial arts circle, right?"
Ning Xiaoning silently estimated and came to a very terrible conclusion.
"About the same, some first-class sects may be stronger than ours."
Li Xing nodded.
After re-dividing the level standards, the number of first-tier martial stars in the Chinese martial arts circle is currently only more than 500, second-tier martial stars and more than 1,700 third-tier martial stars.
Judging from the data of the Heshan Sword Sect, they can collect more than 100 formal disciples who are expected to have the strength of a second-tier martial star every year. Even if only a dozen of them can become first-tier martial star, it only takes about twenty years. Including its original strength, the comprehensive strength of the Heshan Sword Sect can be comparable to most of the Chinese martial arts circle!
"What happened from ancient times to later imperial times that led to such a big change in people's martial arts qualifications? And maybe from the empire period, the worse the martial arts qualifications will be, and thus there will be a series of force gaps?"
Ning Xiaoning murmured.
Li Xing shook his head: "I don't know, go back and study these materials carefully."
......
The next day, major Wuxing companies issued announcements on recruitment, and the Wuxing Association also began to vigorously promote the Shenfu Guard Competition and the Shenwu Badge in half a year later.
For a time, a wave of divine talisman guards was set off in the country!
"@One, Longqi Company is recruiting people. Are there any relatives who sign up together?"
Meng Yu's mobile phone vibrated, opened the QQ group, and saw the latest group announcement.
This group is called "Exiled Immortal Research Institute", which is actually Li Xing's fan group. There are more than 200 people in the group. On weekdays, everyone will discuss news about Li Xing in the group.
“I have signed up (sun glasses).”
A message came into Meng Yu's eyes. When he saw the avatar of the person who said this, his heartbeat seemed to be missing.
This is from Yan Ningxin, a girl he secretly loves.
He and Yan Ningxin are fellow villagers, both from Shudu and are currently studying at one university in Kyoto. They are both seniors this year.
"Wow, the lamb is amazing."
"It is possible to join the dream of the Gaoxing Dream Realm to become a divine talisman guard. It's very dangerous. Don't be impulsive, lamb."
"Do your family agree to your registration?"
“….”
Yan Ningxin's nickname is "Yang Yangyang", so everyone in the group called her Xiao Yang. After she sent that message, many people quickly replied to her.
Yangyangyang: "I have considered it seriously, and my family also supports me. If I can be selected this time, I will be a god talisman guard to defend my country, hahaha (laugh)."
Seeing this sentence, Meng Yu felt confused for a moment.
She is going to be a god talisman guard?
If the other party is really chosen, it means that from then on, he and the other party will be people from two worlds.
He will graduate smoothly, find a stable job, and live a two-point and one-line life.
And she will train and practice martial arts every day in the seeds of dreams, and her life is full of swords and shadows. Maybe one day she will have to face life and death...
When they were in their junior year, they bought the seats together because of the high-speed train tickets back to Shudu, so they got to know each other.
Meng Yu fell in love with Yan Ningxin, who is lively and beautiful at first sight, so he mustered up the courage to chat all the way and added contact information.
Because they are fellow villagers and classmates, and are both fans of Li Xing, the two gradually became familiar with each other in the next few months and became friends. However, Meng Yu felt a little inferior after learning about the other party's excellence. In addition, his ordinary appearance, ordinary family and ordinary grades, so he never dared to confess his love.
He originally thought that he would maintain a good friend relationship like this, and wait for him to find a good job after graduation, wait until he is better, and then confess his love to Yan Ningxin slowly develops some good feelings for him, but the other party suddenly said that he would be a god talisman guard?
"I just saw you in the group saying you wanted to be a divine talisman guard. We were still discussing looking for an internship in the imperial capital two days ago? Why did you suddenly become a divine talisman guard? (laughing and crying)"
Meng Yu sent Yan Ningxin a message on QQ with some nervousness.
"Haha, how about it? Are you scared? (sun glasses)"
Yan Ningxin replied quickly.
"It's really scared (cold sweat), so are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. You forgot that my dream since I was a child was to become a martial star? Unfortunately, I don't have enough qualifications (crying). Now I'm finally waiting for such an opportunity. Of course I don't want to miss it."
"But it is very dangerous to become a divine talisman. Being a martial star is like going from one star to two stars step by step, and finally to the high-star dream demon realm. The divine talisman guard suddenly enters the high-star dream demon realm, and may also be the kind of death rate of 100% (horror)."
"I know, but if you want to become a Wuxing, you must be mentally prepared to face these dangers. I had already thought about these things the day I wanted to become a Wuxing. I am not afraid of (sun glasses)."
"Actually, the Divine Talisman is not considered a martial star, right?"
Meng Yu hesitated for a long time and said this carefully.
Deep down, he still doesn't want the other party to be a god talisman guard.
The opposite side was silent for a while, which made Meng Yu nervous.
Just when he was about to say something to make up for it, Yan Ningxin sent a message:
"But this is the only chance for me to enter the Dream Demon Realm to participate in the Dream Breaking Mission and become a heroine who serves the country and the people."
Seeing this sentence, Meng Yu was silent.
Yan Ningxin's father is a policeman and her grandfather is also a policeman, so the words "defend the country" and "for the country and the people" are very attractive to her.
"You are right, I wish you a successful choice by Longqi Company, come on!"
After a long silence, Meng Yu finally said this to the other party.
"Thank you, if I am really chosen, I will definitely invite you to have a big meal before leaving, and I will ask you for a signature from Li Xing in the future, haha."
If he saw Yan Ningxin saying he wanted to treat him to a big meal, Meng Yu would have jumped out of the bed happily, but now when he saw this sentence, he felt empty and uncomfortable.
After a brief reply, he put down his cell phone and lay in bed in a daze.
After a while, he sat up suddenly and picked up his mobile phone to search for the recruitment information released by Longqi Company:
“Registration time: August 17th to August 31st
Registration conditions: Age over 18 years old, combat power value above 500
Welfare benefits: Anyone who passes the assessment and has the physique of becoming a god fuwei can join the Dragon Flag Wuxing Company and become a god fuwei candidate, and participate in the half-year training.
All costs during the training period (including the martial arts orders required for training and practicing the martial arts of the Divine Fuwei) are borne by the Longqi Wuxing Company, and each person will subsidize 1,000 martial arts orders per month.
After becoming a formal divine talisman guard, all the martial arts orders required to train and practice the magical talisman guard martial arts are also borne by the Dragon Flag Wuxing Company, and each person is subsidized by 3,000 martial arts orders per month.
Note: If you obtain the Shenwu Badge, in addition to the various subsidies from the Wuxing Association, Longqi Wuxing Company will also subsidize 10,000 martial arts orders every month. In addition, as long as you participate in a dream-breaking mission, there will be additional martial arts order dividends."
After reading the recruitment information released by Dragon Flag, Meng Yu opened his mouth wide.
The requirements for recruiting people are so low?!
Previously, the Martial Star Association recruited reserve martial stars, requiring that the combat power value was above 2,000, and specific martial arts must be practiced above a certain level.
Only top students from major Wuxing universities, people from major Wuxing companies’ own training institutions, and some amateur experts who can win rankings in various amateur competitions. It is basically impossible for amateur enthusiasts like Meng Yu.
His qualifications are actually better than most ordinary people, otherwise his combat power value would not exceed 500. It is already considered an upstream level among amateurs, but this level is a lot short of becoming a martial star.
However, this time, the recruitment standard of Longqi Company is so low, as long as the combat power value is above 500, it is enough, which means that many amateurs like Meng Yu can sign up!
Moreover, as long as you have the physique to become a divine talisman guard, all the martial arts orders required for training and cultivation will be borne by the company. This condition is even better than becoming a martial arts star, because after becoming a martial arts star, you can only obtain the martial arts orders through loans, and then you will pay them slowly after you earn the martial arts orders in the future.
What made Meng Yu even more excited was the subsidy given by the Dragon Flag. The candidate for the Divine Talisman Guards was 1,000 martial arts orders per month, and the official Divine Talisman Guards were 3,000 martial arts orders per month!
All the martial arts orders required for cultivation are issued by the company. The subsidized martial arts orders are extra. Even if you don’t need them, you can exchange them for money. Three thousand martial arts orders can be exchanged for more than 20,000 RMB. Even if you find a job in the imperial capital after graduation, can you get a salary of more than 20,000 yuan a month?
