Only Luo Shuihan was the only one who did not have any intention of accepting a disciple.
Because Luo Xu, the ancestor of the Luo Saint clan, was originally from the Holy Court, and Luo Shuihan was already Luo Xu's successor. Even if the other half-saints wanted to recruit disciples, they couldn't compete with Luo Xu.
In the holy courtyard, it is divided into twenty-seven departments.
There are eighteen lines of martial arts and nine lines of spiritual power.
The Eighteen Departments of Martial Arts are: Kendo System, Sword System, Palm System, Boxing System, Finger System, Spear System, Whip System, Stick System, Buddhist System, Tao System..., etc.
The nine departments of spiritual power are: weapon refining system, alchemy system, beast control system, illusion system, thunder and lightning system, wind and fire system..., etc.
As the saying goes, all roads lead to the Holy Spirit.
Whether you are practicing swordsmanship or swordsmanship, you can become a saint if you reach a certain level.
In the Tianji realm, a warrior's cultivation speed will be greatly reduced. Even a genius may take several years to break through a realm.
If so, if you continue to practice various martial arts, your ultimate achievements will be very limited. Being able to break through the fish and dragon realm is already great, but being able to break through the semi-saint realm is rare.
Therefore, the greatest role of the Holy Academy is to allow warriors to choose a Tao that is most suitable for them, abandon all distracting thoughts, and specialize in one.
At the same time, we invite the best lecturers to preach and answer questions for the saints, and provide the best environment for the saints so that they can unleash their greatest potential.
Only in this way can warriors practice faster.
Of course Zhang Ruochen chose the kendo department.
Along with Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling chose the kendo system, Chen Xier chose the fingering system, and Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi chose the Buddhist system.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen thought Luo Shuihan would choose the boxing system, but unexpectedly, Luo Shuihan chose the Tao system.
According to Luo Shuihan, the inheritance of the Luo Sheng clan seems to have something to do with Taoism. Senior Luo Xu also suggested that she choose Taoism.
The Kendo Department is the largest department in the Holy Academy and has the largest number of applicants. Even after passing the first round of screening, there was still a long queue at the registration site.
There are no lecturers at the registration office, only six saints from the previous session of the Holy Academy, who are considered senior brothers and senior sisters, and each of them is a top expert.
Zhang Ruochen took one look at them and saw through all the martial arts cultivation of the six of them.
Five of them are in the realm of the Great Perfection of Heavenly Realm, and one is in the realm of the first transformation of fish and dragon.
Of course, the students of the Holy Academy, after ten years of study and experience, are far beyond what ordinary Dzogchen warriors of the Heavenly Realm can compare with.
After Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Duanmu Xingling signed up, they received the scrolls for the second round of exams.
The student who transformed into a fish and dragon for the first time is named Xu Hai. He is a semi-saint disciple. He is forty-five years old this year, but he still looks like he is only in his twenties. He is wearing a golden student robe.
There is an unfathomable aura about him.
For a warrior in the Fish and Dragon Realm, even if he is forty years old, he still looks like he is twenty years old.
Xu Hai blended his true energy into his voice, stood on the stone platform, and said: "This year, there are as many as 60,000 students who have come to the Holy Academy from all over the world to take part in the assessment, and each of them is a genius who has been carefully selected. So.
With their qualifications, most of them should be able to pass the first round of assessment."
"The Kendo Department is the largest department in the Holy Academy. Almost one-third of the people apply for each class. However, the Kendo Department only recruits 5,000 people for each class. Therefore, the competition of the Kendo Department is the greatest.
More than 70% of people will ultimately fail to pass the three rounds of assessment."
"Before announcing the exam questions, let me ask one more question, do you really want to continue to apply for the Kendo Department? Now, you still have the opportunity to choose. If you apply for the Gundo Department, Whip Department, or Stick Department, your competition pressure will be less.
a lot of."
The Holy Academy only accepts one class of students every ten years, so we must be cautious.
If you miss this session and apply for the next session, you will probably be over the age limit.
The Holy Court has loosened the age limit in order to give those senior warriors with rich experience a chance, but it is only limited to warriors under the age of forty-five.
Over the age of forty-five, no matter how talented you are, you have no chance of entering the Holy Academy.
After hearing what Xu Hai said, some of the students who were not confident enough in their own strength quietly put their scrolls on their hands and left the registration office of the Kendo Department, preparing to apply for other departments.
Seeing the students leaving, Xu Hai smiled coldly and shook his head.
Below, Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice: "Actually, the exam has begun. That senior brother Xu Hai just now was testing everyone's determination and self-confidence. Those who can't bear the pressure and have no confidence in themselves have already withdrawn voluntarily.
, in this round of exams, they belong to the group of people who were eliminated."
Xu Hai seemed to hear Zhang Ruochen's voice, and glanced in Zhang Ruochen's direction, showing a somewhat unkind expression, and continued: "Now, let me tell you the content of the second round of the Swordsmanship Department exam. On the scroll in your hands,
It records a set of high-grade spiritual swordsmanship and martial arts, called 'Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords'."
"Although this set of swordsmanship is only a high-grade spirit-level swordsmanship, it is extremely difficult to practice. Once successfully practiced, it will definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of martial arts among high-grade spiritual-level swordsmanship, enough to compete with the swordsmanship of a low-grade ghost-level swordsmanship."
"Now, you have three days to practice this set of swordsmanship. If you can practice three of the 'Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords' within three days, you will have passed the second round of the exam.
"So, this round will test your understanding and your aptitude for swordsmanship."
"If you are unable to complete the exam, it means that your understanding is not high enough, or your qualifications in kendo are not excellent enough, so naturally you will not be able to enter the kendo department of the Holy Academy."
The swordsmanship of the top spiritual level is also a very mysterious martial skill for the Tianji realm warriors. It cannot be successfully practiced in three to five days. It requires a lot of time to understand and practice.
This round of assessment is quite strict, and a large number of people will definitely be eliminated.
One of the students stood up and asked: "Since the second round is to test everyone's understanding, is there anyone who has already understood it in advance?"
What he asked was a question that other students also wanted to ask.
Xu Hai said in a deep voice: "The Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords are a sword technique created only seven days ago by a semi-saint from the swordsmanship department. Moreover, it has been kept in the Holy Court and has never been leaked. Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed.
There will be people practicing in advance, so everyone can rest assured."
"In addition, in order to encourage everyone to work hard to master swordsmanship, the great elder of the swordsmanship department took out a 'Sword Heart Pill' as a reward. The student who performs best in the second round of assessment will receive this pill
medicine."
"boom!"
All students were shocked.
Sword Heart Pill, a seventh-grade elixir, is worth more than one million spiritual crystals. It is so expensive that even many fish and dragon realm warriors cannot afford it. Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
The main function of the Sword Heart Pill is to help kendo warriors condense the "heart of the sword" and achieve the state of clear sword heart.
Of course, the Sword Heart Pill is only an auxiliary. Whether you can cultivate the sword heart to be clear depends on the warrior's own understanding of the sword.
Even so, the Sword Heart Pill is still a treasure that makes all warriors below half-saints compete for it. Even the beautiful eyes of Duanmu Xingling and Huang Yanchen are shining brightly.
Taking a sword heart pill, even if you cannot reach the state of clear sword heart, you can still improve your swordsmanship by a big step.
Zhang Ruochen was the only one who seemed very calm. After all, he had reached the level of Sword Heart Transparency, so he looked down upon the Sword Heart Pill.
The students below opened the scrolls one after another, racing against time to understand the "Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords".
Zhang Ruochen opened his rolled sleeves, and sure enough, there were tiny words and thoughts printed on them, totaling more than a thousand words.
Under the heart method, thirteen sword pictures are drawn, corresponding to the thirteen sword methods.
At a glance, the thirteen sword-wielding villains on the scroll seemed to have come alive, emerging from the scroll and starting to practice sword skills.
"A set of peak spiritual-level swordsmanship is definitely a first-class treasure in Tianmo Ridge. Once it is born, it will definitely cause many parties to fight for it and blood will flow like a river. The Holy Court is unusual. It actually took out a set of it so casually.
Let all the students who come to sign up learn the sword skills."
The warriors who come to the Holy Court are all students of Wu City Academy. Of course, the Holy Court does not care that the sword skills will spread.
With Zhang Ruochen's attainments in swordsmanship and mental strength, it is already an easy task to practice high-level spiritual martial arts.
It only took half a day for Zhang Ruochen to fully understand the first three sword moves. All the subtleties of the sword moves were clear to him, and even some details could not be hidden from his heavenly eye.
However, he did not start practicing the sword technique immediately, but continued to master the fourth sword technique.
The Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords correspond to a total of thirteen sword techniques. Zhang Ruochen is ready to understand them all and strive to win the first place in the second round.
Even if he doesn't need the Sword Heart Pill himself, he can still give it to others.
In the distance, Nie Wenlong stood beside Xu Hai, staring in the direction of Zhang Ruochen, with a cold look in his eyes, and said through a message: "Brother Xu Hai, that person is Zhang Ruochen.
The descendant of the four great saint clans was defeated by one person, and your younger brother Xu Qing was seriously injured by him. You, the Xu saint clan, have lost a lot of face this time."
Nie Wenlong is also a saint from the previous generation. He has been practicing in the Holy Academy for ten years and has reached the perfection of the Heavenly Realm.
Although he did not break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, he entered the "Heaven Ranking" and was quite powerful.
Xu Hai smiled coldly and said: "So what if the sword's heart is clear? Compared with the saints, he is still very young."
Xu Hai is the descendant of the Xu Sheng clan ten years ago, and his talent is much higher than Xu Qing's. Naturally, he does not take Zhang Ruochen seriously. With his current strength, it is only easy to kill Zhang Ruochen.
