At this time, Yang Zhongyi's eyes suddenly condensed and he looked to the left and rear.
Confused, Lin Shen and Su Nian followed his gaze and saw Yan Xing slowly walking towards them.
"First time we meet, my name is Yan Xing."
To the surprise of the three of them, Yan Xing came towards Lin Shen and stretched out his hand towards him with a smile.
"Lin Shen."
Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and shook hands with Yan Xing calmly.
"What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing, I just want to get to know you. After the exam is over, maybe we can find a chance to have a good chat. By the way, I would like to congratulate you on your good ranking in the exam!"
After saying this, Yan Xing turned to Yang Zhongyi and nodded slightly, then left without looking back, never even looking at Su Nian from beginning to end.
Lin Shen wondered: "What is he here for?"
"What else can he do? Come here to win over you. He wants you to be his little brother."
Yang Zhongyi spread his hands and curled his lips.
"It's just that the eldest young master of the Yan family is used to being aloof and won't let go of his arrogance even when trying to win over others!"
Lin Shen shook his head and laughed when he heard this.
To win him over as your younger brother?
I'm afraid the eldest young master of the Yan family will be disappointed.
After the big exam is over, it is estimated that the other party will not have the slightest idea of communicating with him.
"Young Master Yan, what are you doing with Lin Shen?"
As soon as Yan Xing returned to the crowd, Lu Zijun came over and asked curious questions.
"You're not going to declare war, are you?" someone joked.
"Fart, what kind of strength does Young Master Yan need to declare war with Lin Shen? Don't you want to see if he has the qualifications?"
"That's right, Master Yan's opponents should be Xue Feng, Chong Yan and those few people!"
"That's true, haha"
A group of children from aristocratic families quickly changed the topic and began to talk about the information about other candidates.
Lu Zijun glanced at Yan Xing, rolled his eyes, and quickly understood, looking disdainfully at Lin Shen in the distance.
What is there to win over as an ordinary student?
No matter how talented you are, depending on your background, your future achievements will be limited.
If you want to find someone, you must at least look for someone from a Han family, such as Su Nian.
Such people are qualified to become their own team!
Yan Xing didn't pay attention to Lu Zijun's little move. He walked to Zhao Xueying not far away and said:
"I heard that both Xue Feng and Chong Yanhe have broken through to the eighth level of aerodynamics, and their martial arts are also very good. In this big test, they should be our strongest opponents!"
Yan Xing had already figured out Zhao Xueying's character and knew that if he talked to her about anything else, Zhao Xueying would most likely ignore it.
But with the latter's obsession with cultivation, Zhao Xueying would probably not ignore her as long as she talked about the strength of other candidates.
As expected, after listening to Yan Xing's words, Zhao Xueying's expression changed, she nodded and said:
"I have also heard about these two. It is said that their strength should not be underestimated. They are indeed formidable opponents!"
yan
Born among the four of us!”
Zhao Xueying glanced at Yan Xing, narrowed her clear and bright eyes slightly, and said loudly:
"I must be the chief!"
"Not always!"
Although Yan Xing has a good impression of Zhao Xueying, he will not accept being inferior in such a matter.
"I am also destined to win the position of chief!"
"There are many strong opponents in this exam."
Yang Zhongyi counted them one by one with his fingers.
"Needless to say, Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying, as well as Xue Feng from the Xue family, and Chong Yanhe from the Chong family. These four are elites who have definitely reached the eighth level of pneumatic cultivation!"
"Not to mention the candidates who have reached the seventh level of Qi Dynasty. There are at least thirty or forty, and they are basically the children of aristocratic families!"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhongyi glanced at Lin Shen.
As far as he knew, Lin Shen was the only ordinary student who had the seventh level of pneumatic cultivation in this big exam, and there was no other member of his family.
Of course, only he and Su Nian knew about it now, otherwise Yan Xing would never have been condescending when he came to win over Lin Shen just now.
"Anyway, judging from the information I have collected, this year's Jiuyang Taoist Academy exam is the most difficult in the past ten years, and it can be said to be a gathering of elites!"
"The candidates from Jingtao Taoist Academy and Qingshuang Taoist Academy are far less powerful than here!"
Su Nian was not shaken by Yang Zhongyi's words and remained calm.
Lin Shen even smiled and said nothing.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Yang Zhongyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling no sense of accomplishment at all.
But he still continued: "We have no hope of becoming the chief of the big exam. There is little hope for the top ten, but we are still somewhat sure of the top twenty. If we can get the top twenty, what kind of treatment will we get after entering Jiuyang Taoist Academy?
Not too bad!”
This time Su Nian finally nodded in agreement.
Like Yang Zhongyi, he also aims to be ranked in the top 20.
"Lin Shen, what about you? How many names are you targeting?" Su Nian suddenly asked Lin Shen.
However, before Lin Shen had time to answer, he was suddenly interrupted by a commotion.
The three of them turned around and saw a group of people walking into the square.
The leaders were two old men with frosty white hair on their temples, but strong spirits and rosy and firm skin.
The two of them were wearing long gowns, one in black and one in white. They walked with light steps, giving them an air of immortality.
"It's the leader of Jiuyang Taoist Academy!" Yang Zhongyi whispered.
Lin Shen's eyes flashed slightly.
During this period of time, he had consulted a lot of information about Jiuyang Taoist Temple, so he naturally knew what the duties of being in charge were.
Jiuyang Taoist Temple is divided into upper and lower courtyards.
The head of the upper courtyard is the Zhang Yuan, who is in charge of the entire Taoist courtyard.
The House of Commons has three presidents, who lead the affairs of the House of Commons.
It is up to you to be responsible for the specific affairs.
The position of being in charge sounds similar to that of a teacher at Hualiu Academy, but in terms of status and power, it far exceeds the latter.
Not to mention anything else, every leader of Jiuyang Taoist Academy is a practitioner in the late stage of Mingqiao Realm!
There is only one step away from being promoted to a monk!
As the two leaders arrived, the buzzing discussion in the square quickly disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to the arrival.
In full view.
The two leaders came to the front of the crowd, Shi Shiran sat down on the chair that had been prepared, and immediately looked around, his eyes like lightning.
"Cai Zhonggu is in charge of Jiuyang Taoist Academy." The old man in a black gown said loudly.
"Ke Ya, who is also in charge of the Jiuyang Taoist Academy." The old man in a white gown followed closely and said.
The two people's voices were obviously not loud, but they spread throughout the square and everyone could hear them clearly.
After introducing himself, Ke Ya turned to look at a young man beside him.
The latter immediately took a step forward and said in a deep voice:
"Commander, the disciple count has been completed. All five hundred candidates are present, and no one is absent!"
Ke Ya nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and suddenly waved his hand.
"I won't say any more if it's unnecessary. The specific rules for this year's exam are here. Read it carefully for yourselves!"
Following Ke Ya's movements, a large amount of water mist suddenly surged into the void, gathering together and condensing into words, which were neatly arranged in the sky above the square.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were looking into the sky.
Lin Shen also immediately cast his gaze and began to read it carefully.
