Listening to the sounds outside gradually fading away, Lin Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he killed Tian Dian and destroyed his body, so it was inevitable that he would feel guilty when meeting the members of the Zhiwu Hall who arrested Tian Dian.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to remember him at all.
After calming down, Lin Shen walked towards Kong Hong's desk.
Kong Hong also noticed Lin Shen's arrival at this time, with a gentle smile on his face.
"I was just looking for you. You haven't signed up for the competition yet."
"I forgot about it before, but I just remembered it now."
Kong Hong laughed dumbly and took out a form for Lin Shen to fill in and register.
While Lin Shen was writing, he pretended to ask casually: "Teacher, I just saw the people from the Zhiwu Hall. What are they doing in the academy?"
Kong Hong did not doubt that he was there, and sighed and said: "Yesterday, a murder occurred in the North District. One of the deceased was a student of our college. People from the martial arts hall came to ask about that student."
Homicide? North District?
Lin Shen's eyes narrowed and he quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure either." Kong Hong shook his head, "The people in the martial arts hall said they wanted to keep it secret and couldn't reveal the specific details of the case."
After a pause, he glanced at Lin Shen and reminded:
"You'd better not go to the North District recently."
Lin Shen felt a little scared, thinking that Kong Hong meant that he went to the underworld.
But then he thought and realized that it was impossible for Kong Hong to know about this. He was probably referring to the welfare home. He was asked not to go back to the welfare home in the North District during this period.
As expected, Kong Hong followed up and said: "When the North District calms down, you can find a chance to go back to the orphanage to visit."
Lin Shen felt slightly relieved and calmly nodded in agreement.
"By the way." Kong Hong suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Shen with piercing eyes, "I heard some students discussing your matter this morning. They said that your Blazing Sun Palm has reached the level of mastery.
Really?"
When Lin Shen used Blazing Sun Palm in the Blue Rose Bar, he was mentally prepared for the incident to spread. He was not surprised when he heard this and nodded: "Yes, I just broke through a few days ago."
Hearing Lin Shen's personal admission, Kong Hong's face showed undisguised surprise.
Lin Shen's previous two breakthroughs had already brought him a lot of surprises. Who would have thought that just a few days later, Lin Shen would surprise him again.
Proficient in the state of Blazing Sun Palm, coupled with the fifth level of pneumatic cultivation, this strength is enough to rank in the top five among ordinary students in the entire Huailiu Academy.
Even better than some children from aristocratic families with poor family backgrounds!
Kong Hong couldn't help but secretly marvel, why didn't he realize that Lin Shen was a genius before?
"Yes, you have progressed much faster than I expected!"
Kong Hong looked at the students in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
"In this competition, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get into the top five. If you work hard, it's not impossible to even get into the top three!"
Lin Shen smiled without comment.
If Kong Hong knew that he had reached the seventh level of pneumatic movement, and that even the Blazing Sun Palm was only one step away from achieving greatness, his eyes would definitely pop out of his head.
It's just that he is always using the Art of Containing Morality in front of others, and his displayed cultivation is only the fifth level of pneumatic movement. No matter how sharp Kong Hong's eyesight is, he can't see through his true cultivation.
"There are still two months until the big exam. Are you planning to sign up for the big exam?" Kong Hong asked.
"Yes."
Kong Hong nodded and did not ask Lin Shen which of the three major academies he wanted to apply for.
Generally speaking, if you choose which sect's foundation technique you practice, you will definitely apply for admission to that sect's affiliated Taoist academy in the future.
As Lin Shen practiced Blazing Sun Palm, it was obvious which Taoist school he would apply for.
"The notice for the college entrance examination has been sent out, and our college has been allocated thirty places this year."
Kong Hong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued:
"I won't hide it from you. Of the thirty places, twenty-three are already occupied by children of aristocratic families, and the remaining seven places are divided among ordinary students like you."
Lin Shen nodded calmly.
This kind of thing is very common in major colleges. It is already known to everyone that children from aristocratic families occupy most of the places for college entrance examinations.
In fact, this cannot be said to be unfair.
After all, the cultivation conditions of the children of the aristocratic family are far superior to those of ordinary students, and their strength is naturally far higher than that of ordinary students.
There are very few children from aristocratic families whose cultivation level is lower than the fifth level of Qi Dynasty.
His martial arts attainments are far superior to those of ordinary students.
Based on pure strength, it is not surprising that they occupy a large number of places in the college entrance examination.
Kong Hong continued: "There are only a few ways for ordinary students to get a place in the college entrance examination."
"First, students who can reach the sixth level of Qi Dynamics or above can be directly exempted from the assessment and get a place in the big exam!"
When he said this, Kong Hong's tone was very normal, and he didn't notice the flash of light in Lin Shen's eyes.
In Kong Hong's view, it would be great to have one ordinary student who can meet this condition every year.
Ordinary students who can reach the fifth level of pneumatics are already considered outstanding.
Only five or six people from Huailiu Academy have reached this level this year.
So he never would have thought that Lin Shen had already been promoted to the seventh level of pneumatics!
"Second, if you get the top two in the competition, you can also be directly exempted from the assessment and get a place in the big exam."
"The last way is to register and pass the college assessment. Only after passing can you get a place in the college entrance examination."
After talking about the three methods, Kong Hong glanced at Lin Shen and said with a smile:
"With your current strength, you will definitely have one of the remaining seven places for the college entrance examination. The difference is only whether you get it through the second or third method."
"If you can get the top two in the competition, it will be much easier. You can also get the Zhengyuan Pill as a reward, which will be of great benefit to you, so you must work hard in the next competition!"
"I understand, thank you teacher!" Lin Shen nodded calmly.
Seeing Lin Shen's "firm look" in his eyes, Kong Hong nodded with satisfaction.
He admired this student from the bottom of his heart, who came from a poor family but had worked hard to become the best among ordinary students. Naturally, he also looked forward to seeing Lin Shen shine in the competition.
His job as a teacher made him yearn for the story of students transforming from cocoons into butterflies with his help.
While drinking tea, Kong Hong had already thought about it. If Lin Shen failed to get the top two in the competition, he would buy Zhengyuan Dan from his own pocket.
With his help and encouragement, Lin Shen must have quickly gotten over the depression of losing the competition, reborn from the ashes, made breakthroughs in cultivation, and then made a splash in the big exam and was admitted to Jiuyang Taoist Academy.
And because of Lin Shen, he will become famous far and wide, become a famous teacher that everyone respects, and be promoted to the principal of Huailiu College. Even his subsequent inaugural speech has almost been conceived.
Kong Hong grinned with joy when he thought of the beauty.
