Qingming Martial Arts Academy is located in Qinghe Fucheng, on the bank of Luoyun Mountain.
The day of the assessment.
At the foot of Luoyun Mountain, it was already bustling with people.
Young talents from Qinghe and Guming counties gathered together.
"Last year, I was just a hair away from entering the martial arts academy. This year I will definitely join the martial arts academy!"
"The martial arts academy is just the first step on my martial arts path. I must enter it!"
Those who can be recommended by martial arts schools are all geniuses from all over the world, and they are all very confident in themselves.
Chen Fan bid farewell to his master early in the morning with his senior brother Zhang Fan and the ten talented senior brothers from Baiyun Gym, and came to the foot of Luoyun Mountain and in front of the martial arts academy.
Looking at the surrounding situation is eye-opening.
Chen Fan couldn't help but said: "There must be thousands of people participating in the assessment, right? We have so many talented warriors in Qinghe County!"
Zhang Fan nodded:
"Not only Qinghe County, but also Guming County next door. The two counties' martial arts schools, sects and major families will recommend disciples to participate in the assessment. At least tens of thousands of people participate in the assessment every year. This is because small sects have fewer places."
Chen Fan suddenly nodded.
Most of the surrounding warriors are in their early twenties, fifteen or sixteen years old, and quite a few are seventeen or eighteen years old.
Suddenly there was an uproar from the crowd.
But in the distance, he saw four giant red tigers one foot tall pulling a bronze chariot.
"The red tiger chariot, this is the royal guard of honor!"
Each of these four red tigers is larger and more powerful than the fourth-level tiger demon that Chen Fan once killed with a fist.
There were armored guards arrayed around the red tiger chariot, following closely around the chariot and escorting the chariot to the main gate of the martial arts academy.
The red tiger chariot passed through the crowd, and everyone around it automatically got out of the way.
Although these four tigers have sharp fangs and sharp claws, they are extremely honest.
Chen Fan looked at Chihu and couldn't help but look sideways slightly and glanced a few more times.
"This should be the prince who was watching the ceremony, but I don't know how he came to such a remote place in Qinghe County..."
Qinghe County is located in the western border of Daqian, but the imperial capital is towards the east. There are at least seven or eight counties separated along the way.
The gate of the martial arts academy opened, and someone entered facing the red tiger chariot, and then closed it again.
Chen Fan looked away, but felt itchy in his heart.
…
After Chen Fan waited for half an hour.
The gate of the martial arts academy finally opened, and many disciples lined up in a long queue to enter one after another, holding the qualification certificates for this assessment.
On top of the tallest building in the martial arts academy, all the vice-presidents and deans of the martial arts academy gathered together, looking down at the dense crowds of people below.
One of the young men, in his early thirties, was wearing a golden feathered coat with a four-clawed golden dragon coiled on it. He looked down at the lively scene calmly and said: "Qing Ming County is indeed full of talented people. There are many geniuses. In the martial arts assessment, it turned out that
To attract such elite talents... it is indeed a place with outstanding people!"
Mao Wangchen, the dean of the martial arts academy, smiled slightly: "Your Highness Nineteenth is ridiculous. This is all due to the merits of the Holy Emperor's rule. The people live in peace and prosperity, and naturally warriors emerge in large numbers!"
Facing this prince, the dean of the martial arts academy talked and laughed calmly without any humiliation. This was also the capital brought by his strength.
To be the dean of a martial arts academy, one must at least be at the tenth level of martial arts.
As for the emperor's dozens or hundreds of sons, even if they have the emperor's dragon energy in their bodies, only a few of them have reached the level of a seventh-level martial arts master.
The Nineteenth Prince has a strong figure and must be a martial arts practitioner. He shook his head and said: "Dean Mao is so humble. Among all the martial arts academies in the world, the Qingming Martial Arts Academy is also ranked high!"
Isn't that right? The Qingming Martial Arts Academy is one academy between two counties. With more students, it is naturally stronger.
Despite its remote location, it can barely rank among the top ten among martial arts schools in the world.
Listening to several people complimenting each other in vain, Ye Wuji stood among the crowd, raising his eyebrows slightly, looking down at the many disciples participating in the assessment, silently looking for Chen Fan's position.
It's a pity that there are so many figures, even if he is a master, it is impossible to see Chen Fan's position from such a distance.
…
The entrance examination for the Wushu Academy is divided into three levels.
The first level is the simplest and most basic force measurement level.
Zhang Fan approached Chen Fan and whispered:
"Don't underestimate this test. At least more than half of the people will not meet the standards and will be screened out directly. They will not be qualified to participate in the next level of assessment."
Chen Fan was also surprised.
This round is actually a test of hard power.
You either have sufficient cultivation or you have strong natural gas and blood. If you don't meet the requirements, you will naturally not be able to pass the test.
However, the reason why so many people were eliminated is that most of them are disciples from small counties. This level is just a preliminary screening level, and most of the elite core disciples of Baiyun Gym can pass it.
The examination began, and the empty outer courtyard of the Wuyuan Academy was divided into twenty or thirty examination points.
Chen Fan and several fellow seniors lined up to enter a spacious testing hall in close order.
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge gray-brown wall.
A middle-aged instructor wearing a gray coat stood in front of everyone.
"In the first round of assessment, you can choose any of the weapons we provide and use your best strength to chop on the wall. No martial arts are allowed. Scores will be judged based on the depth of the dent left. Everyone will have two chances!"
"The final results this time are also linked to your respective ages. There are four types, A, B, C, D. C and D are easy to say."
Although strength is the key to dividing resources in the martial arts academy, the entrance examination also depends on the age of each person.
The first round of assessment turned out to be wall-breaking...
This wall is obviously not an ordinary stone wall. It should be made of a special alloy, otherwise it would be difficult to support the assessment of so many people.
Chen Fan originally thought that the martial arts academy would have some special force measuring instrument, but he didn't expect that it would be judged through this method.
Chen Fan heard someone around him say: "This wall is made of a special material. The first inch is the easiest to penetrate, and the further back it becomes, the harder it is!"
The gray-clothed instructor gave the order.
"First!"
The assessment begins.
Immediately, a panicked young man stepped forward, handed the examination voucher with personal information in his hand to the table in front of the examiner, and then turned to the weapons rack to look for a suitable opportunity.
Before he could choose a weapon, the instructor started again: "Next! What are you waiting for? The wall is so big and there are so many weapons. Come here with more!"
Immediately, three or two more teenagers submitted their certificates.
Zhang Fan also took the opportunity to get close to Chen Fan: "For the test later, it is best to choose a spear as a test prop, which will make it easier to penetrate deeper!"
When fighting against others, it is naturally appropriate to use the most convenient weapon, but in this kind of force measurement process, there is also an element of trickery.
The smaller the contact surface, the easier it is for the weapon to penetrate deeper. If you take a hammer, it is powerful enough, but you can't even think of making a deep dent.
Chen Fan nodded clearly. This senior brother had a sharp mind and responded quickly.
In fact, spear weapons are difficult to use and those without experience may not leave deeper marks than swords. As long as you don't foolishly choose weapons such as giant hammers, there won't be much of a difference.
The first few people chose in turn, and most of them chose swords, slashing and swinging at the wall.
There are also dedicated people with special measuring tools and measurement results.
"The highest two times were only one inch and seven points. You are already twenty years old, why are you so weak? You are not qualified!"
"Twenty-three years old, two inches to one minute, almost, let's do it a second time!"
"Unqualified!"
"Next! Don't wait for me to call you. If you see an empty seat in front of you, come up and test it!"
Three or four people went up one after another, but none of them passed.
Even though Chen Fan knew that the martial arts examination was difficult, he never expected it to be so exaggerated.
It wasn't until the second round of people went up that an eighteen-year-old boy passed.
"Two inches and three points, not bad, grade C, pass!"
Each of these instructors is very powerful and their thinking is fast. They can calculate their results immediately by looking at their age and assessment results.
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes and said to Chen Fan:
"For Bing and Ding, it's okay to say that the strength requirements for Level A and Level B are much higher, especially the Level A rating. And the results of this round of assessment will also be counted in the final round. Junior brother, you can take the test later."
Don’t hold anything back!”
Chen Fan also had a lot of confidence in his own strength, nodded, and then asked: "Is there a higher rating than first-class results?"
When Chen Fan asked, Zhang Fan paused instantly, thinking that his talented junior brother was really aiming for the first-class rating, so he told him:
"A grade is already the highest rating, but it is subdivided into upper, middle and lower grades. It is already very difficult to reach A grade. A grade is extremely difficult, and one may not be able to get one every year. As for A grade, it is even more difficult.
It’s even more difficult…”
"It is said that this level was established to keep disciples open-minded. The strength test of various martial arts academies is consistent. However, since the establishment of various martial arts academies, few people have reached this rating. As for whether anyone from Qingming Martial Academy has achieved it, I will tell you.
I no longer know……"
Chen Fan was also amazed when he heard this.
At this time, a young man who heard the exchange between the two smiled and turned around:
"Only one person in the history of Qingming Martial Arts Academy has reached the upper level of the strength test level, and that was already twenty years ago. It is said that that person has a powerful blood body, a peerless genius, and he has been able to achieve it within five years of entry.
I have reached the sixth level of martial arts, and it has been five years since I entered the Haori Tower of the martial arts academy."
Entering Haori Tower means that he has become a master.
This person became a grandmaster ten years after entering the martial arts academy, which means that when he became a grandmaster, he was at most in his early thirties, or even less than thirty!
It is a hard-to-find genius in the entire Qinghe County, comparable to Li Linliu!
