Chapter 62 Level Challenge and Last Place Elimination
Back at the gate of the manor, Kong Hong was already waiting there.
He had already learned about the exam process from the candidates who had left early. He felt a little dazed at the time and stood there for a long time without being able to recover.
It wasn't until he saw Lin Shen coming out that he woke up from a dream and looked at Lin Shen in amazement.
In the past few months, Lin Shen had brought him one surprise after another.
Whenever he thought this was Lin Shen's limit, the latter would often refresh his understanding again.
Now, he even got the position of chief in the college entrance examination!
This is undoubtedly the first time in the history of Jiuyang Taoist Temple!
Kong Hong didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment, his chest was filled with shock and admiration.
It wasn't until Lin Shen came closer that Kong Hong calmed down slightly and said with a smile:
"If you win the top position in the college entrance examination this time, the college will definitely give you a large reward. Remember to come to the college to receive it tomorrow!"
"I understand, thank you teacher."
Lin Shen did not take the Huailiu College bus, but left with Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian.
Watching the vehicle in which the three of them were riding go away, Kong Hong slowly looked away and sighed with emotion on his face.
"Now the academy is probably going to be in a state of shock!"
"cheers!"
In the spacious and bright box, Lin Shen, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian sat around and raised glasses together.
"Old Lin has become famous this time, tsk tsk, the first freshman chief in the history of Jiuyang Taoist Academy who is not from a noble family!"
Yang Zhongyi drank a full glass of beer in one breath, shaking his head and sighing.
"Zhao Xueying, Xue Feng, Chong Yan and so many powerful figures this year were all defeated by Lao Lin. This happened before the big exam. Whoever told me such a thing, I would be the first to not believe it!"
"Lin Shen's performance today is indeed amazing." Su Nian agreed with deep approval.
"Okay, don't just praise me." Lin Shen shook his head and laughed, "You two have also entered the top fifteen."
Mentioning this, Yang Zhongyi suddenly had a proud smile on his face.
Even for a direct descendant like him who comes from one of the five most famous families, it is considered good enough to get twelfth place in the exam.
What's more, this year's college entrance examination has a large number of elites, the competition is far more intense than in previous years, and the ranking is more valuable.
Su Nian also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.
Although far inferior to Lin Shen, his fifteenth place result has already met his psychological expectations.
"Lao Yang, tell me about Jiuyang Taoist Temple." Lin Shen suddenly said.
Although he had privately investigated the affairs of Jiuyang Taoist Academy, there were some things that outsiders could not know after all.
Only people like Yang Zhongyi, who came from a family of eighteen cultivators, could have a relatively in-depth understanding of Jiuyang Taoist Temple through family channels.
Su Nian also looked like he was listening.
Because of his family background, he didn't know much more about Jiuyang Taoist Temple than Lin Shen.
After hearing this, Yang Zhongyi was very confident. After organizing his words for a while, he began to speak slowly.
"You should all know that Jiuyang Taoist Academy is divided into upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber is too far away from us, so I won't talk about it for now. As for the lower chamber, the disciples are divided into four levels, heaven, earth, xuanhuang, from high to low according to their status.
"
"With different levels, the training resources that disciples can obtain are also different. There is a huge gap in the training resources between each level, so the disciples of the Taoist Academy are all arrogant and want to improve their level."
"Then how do you increase your level?" Su Nian asked.
Yang Zhongyi took a mouthful of vegetables without hesitation, and then continued:
"The number of disciples at each level is fixed."
"For example, there are only fifty places for the highest level of heaven-level disciples. If earth-level disciples want to improve their level, they can only defeat the heaven-level disciples and succeed in replacing them!"
"The same goes for Xuan-level disciples who want to become Earth-level disciples."
"Every three months, the Taoist Academy will hold a level challenge. Lower-level disciples can apply to challenge higher-level disciples. As long as they succeed, they can replace them!"
"Then what level are we freshmen who have just entered the Taoist Academy?" Lin Shen asked.
"As far as I know, there are currently a total of 571 people in the lower court, including 50 heaven-level disciples, 100 earth-level disciples, 200 Xuan-level disciples, and the remaining 221 are Huang-level disciples.
disciple."
"There are a total of 300 places for yellow-level disciples. In other words, the top 79 freshmen in this year's college entrance examination will be yellow-level disciples after entering the Taoist Academy, and the remaining 121 freshmen will be unranked.
, only allocate the minimum cultivation resources."
Lin Shen and Su Nian couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that Jiuyang Taoist Temple had such a rule.
Suddenly, Su Nian thought of something and hurriedly said:
"That's not right, Zhongyi. I remember that Jiuyang Taoist Academy has a five-year system and enrolls 200 students every year. Even if one class of disciples has already graduated, there should still be 800 disciples now."
Lin Shen's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of what Ke Ya had said after the exam.
'Entering a Taoist monastery does not mean that you will be able to graduate successfully.'
As expected, I heard Yang Zhongyi say:
"The House of Commons eliminates the bottom fifty disciples every year. Adding in the number of disciples who have gone crazy while practicing, died while performing tasks, and various accidents, the number of disciples who have died now is more than five hundred, which is already considered too much!
"
Lin Shen's eyes flashed slightly.
There are level challenges and the elimination of the last place. No wonder people say that the competition in Jiuyang Taoist Academy is extremely fierce, and now it seems that it is indeed true.
"Isn't it too unfair to eliminate fifty disciples every year to the disciples who come in later?" Su Nian frowned and questioned, "Their training time is at least one year less than that of the old students, but they have to face the same competition. It's such a disadvantage.
Already."
"So what?"
Yang Zhongyi spread his hands.
"There is no complete fairness in this world. If you really want to pay attention to it, the gap in qualifications between practitioners is the greatest injustice!"
"What's more, from the perspective of the sect's senior officials, if a disciple's qualifications are good enough, even if the training time is less than others, he will definitely stand out. The only ones who will be eliminated are those with insufficient qualifications and insufficient efforts!"
"No matter how many people like this are eliminated, the senior leaders of the sect will not feel sorry for them."
"To be honest, although this method is a bit harsh, it also makes the disciples of the Taoist Academy become better and better every year. This is an indisputable fact!"
Su Nian was speechless.
"Of course, those eliminated disciples are not just abandoned. They can choose to become outer disciples of Jiuyang Sect and hold various grassroots positions. They can also join Zhiwu Hall and have a worry-free future."
Yang Zhongyi poured a glass of wine for Lin Shen and Su Nian respectively, and continued:
"Okay, let's not just think about other people, we should also think about ourselves."
"There is still one month until the day to report to the Taoist Temple, but we still have a difficulty to face."
Lin Shen was startled: "What difficulty?"
"Guide Battle!"
Yang Zhongyi chuckled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"It is said to be a way for the senior brothers and sisters to give guidance to the junior brothers and sisters who have just entered the Taoist academy, but in fact it is a warning given by the old students to the new students!"
