The autumn wind brings forth the Luoshui River, and the fallen leaves fill the city of the gods.
In the blink of an eye, it's already late autumn.
A lone crow flies from the horizon, bringing distant greetings.
Autumn in the capital city is filled with lingering thoughts and lonely questions.
The strong autumn wind blows from Luoshui to the south, blowing through every corner of the capital, blowing the fragrance of osmanthus to the hearts of foreign scholars.
The fluttering leaves spread out on the ground, seeming to welcome the new splendor.
As the autumn day approaches, Shendu City is much deserted than before.
Logically speaking, with a large number of candidates entering the city, it should be more lively.
But the excitement only appeared at the beginning. In addition to the inns and inns being full, later in the city of Shendu, due to the continuous strengthening of patrols by the imperial guards and the advancement of the curfew, the city's commercial activity dropped a lot.
In addition, the weather has been average these days, with clouds covering up the sun, which has also affected people's enthusiasm for consumption.
Until this day, the imperial list was posted at the city gate.
"Tomorrow in autumn, there will be an additional poetry test. Candidates will gather outside the south of the city tomorrow for reference..."
There are several types of candidates who generally take the Qiuwei examination.
One is the students from various states, virtuous and upright people who have passed the scientific examination in each state. This kind of people can also be called talented people, and they are also the largest category of people.
There are also different categories of candidates, such as the candidates of the Imperial Academy, who are called supervisor students, and the sons of Qingyin, who are high-ranking officials, called official students.
This year is the main exam, and the candidates originally thought it would be the most common and orthodox paper-based exam.
Unexpectedly, this year there will be a special grace examination and a poetry test will be added.
According to previous years, poetry and calligraphy talent were also tested, but they were all included in the Confucian classics talent examination, and there was no mention of being taken out separately.
This surprised many candidates, who spent the whole night looking through the books they brought to see if they could find some famous poems from their predecessors that they could learn from.

Imperial College.
A few days ago in autumn, a large number of students gathered at the gate of the Imperial College.
This is the special admissions session for the Imperial College. According to the Qianyuan official system, the students in the Imperial College are not considered official, but the teachers in the Imperial College are basically imperial officials.
The Imperial College was the most important institution for selecting talents in the Qianyuan Empire.
It encompasses the three major academies of "Civil and Martial Arts" and is currently the three most famous cultivation systems in the Qianyuan Dynasty.
Among them, those who studied literature were considered serious scholars, headed by "Confucian scholars", including various subjects such as "military, agricultural, industrial, and ritual", corresponding to the six departments of the imperial court.
In the Imperial College, there are the most people who revise essays.
After these people come out, they have two paths to choose from.
Or you can directly take the Qiuwei Examination and, as a graduate of the Imperial College, directly qualify for the examination.
Or you can be recruited into the government and work as a staff member of the princes and nobles, and you can also become an official. However, this path will usually be imprinted with the identity of a certain line. In the future, there will be greater restrictions. Once the backstage collapses, you may also become an official.
Misfortune follows.

Most of the students who practice martial arts are rising stars in various generals. There are two major disciplines: martial arts and art of war. The art of war here is very different from the "military science" in the liberal arts academy. The main purpose here is to instill art of war cases into the generals.
Wait, and the military science of scholars in the liberal arts academy is not only the art of war, but also includes management, military strategy and other academic subjects, which is more complicated.
Therefore, it can be seen that most of the students who come to the Guozijian Martial Arts Academy for further study are part-time and only need to spend a little time to improve, while the other two academies are mostly full-time.
Especially the students of the newly established Taoist Academy, who stay in the courtyard almost all day and night, making it mysterious and hard to find.
Cao Su, like many students preparing to enroll, stood waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
There are countless pavilions and pavilions in the Imperial College, and the main hall is the official entrance examination room.
The tall and powerful Cao Su stood over there, standing out, except for the words "I am a martial artist" written on his face.
Most of the scholars were thin and small, and they gathered in groups at a distance and did not come to talk to the warriors.
The warriors also have their own understandings.
Cao Su's time in the divine capital was short, and he didn't know these people, so he stood there quietly.
Not long after, several people walked out of the hall.
An old master wearing a scribe's robe walked up to the many students entering the school.
"Students, welcome to the Imperial College!"
........
The admission test for the Imperial College was just a formality.
The candidates who come here to register are all recommended by high-ranking officials and nobles, holding letters of recommendation. The Imperial College has already conducted investigations and filings before, and the students' information should be mastered.
Cao Su naturally entered the martial arts academy, and there were about a dozen students who entered with him.
They were all vigorous warriors with strong blood, but the Imperial Academy teacher who came to greet them was actually a very thin, middle-aged scribe.
"Everyone, follow me."
The middle-aged scribe spoke concisely and to the point, and led everyone directly out of the hall.
As soon as a dozen tall and strong warriors left, the entire hall became noticeably more relaxed. Many scholars had just stayed away from the warriors, but they could still feel the oppressive force on those warriors.
"Too vulgar..."
The liberal arts students secretly despised him. Although they did not dare to challenge Wu Fu on the surface, their secret contempt was still indispensable.
Everyone left the main hall and walked towards the Imperial Academy. The middle-aged scribe's pace was not fast, but he ran in front of everyone within a few steps, and in a flash, he was ten feet away.
This is obviously an extremely superb body technique.
A group of martial arts students quickly followed, but found that they could not catch up with the middle-aged scribe.
Cao Su also followed behind, feeling as if he could still use his strength to catch up, but there was no need.
Suddenly, he heard someone snort coldly.
Immediately, two black shadows flew out from the crowd, like arrows from a string, and their speed increased rapidly. In a few ups and downs, they surpassed everyone and chased after the scribe.
"Yang Wenqing and Dong Nan!"
Among the martial arts students, some people exclaimed and heard the names of two people.
Cao Su took a look and saw that they were two warriors at the fifth level of the Strength Realm. They were indeed better than the many martial arts students present at the sixth level of the Strength Realm.
As expected, Shendu City is full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and the students who came to sign up are all very strong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those who come out to hang out are at least in the middle level of the force realm.
The resources are different, and the starting point is different. In Shendu City, the power realm is nothing. Only when the power realm is high-grade can you have a little bit of qualifications to make people look at you with admiration.
Among the younger generation, the top few masters on the Fengxiao Ranking are all top-level leaders in the power realm.
Even Sima Changfeng, who is said to be number one on the Phoenix Young Ranking, is a first-level master in the realm of strength, and is even more talked about by people.
There is a big gap between the top few. Sima Changfeng is suspected to be in the first rank, while Zuo Qiuzi, who ranks second, is only in the second rank.
The next few are all third-grade warriors, and within the first ten miles, there are even fourth-grade warriors.
If the tenth-ranked fourth-level warrior were to fight against a third-level warrior, he would most likely be killed instantly. And if a third-level warrior encountered Sima Changfeng, he would only be killed instantly.
Cao Su was originally not prepared to chase after him, but now two fifth-level men were chasing after him, and it was really unseemly for him to hide behind a fourth-level man.
I just had to put in a little effort.
As soon as he exerted his strength, many students around him were frightened.
I just felt a strong wind passing by, rushing forward violently, and anyone who got close could feel the strong evil energy on this person.
"Who is this?"
Everyone didn't know Cao Su, just like Cao Su didn't know them.
If everyone can still understand Yang Wenqing and Dong Nan before, then what happened to Cao Su?
In fact, everyone had some impression. Just now, Cao Suhe was standing there with majestic momentum. Now that they saw it, it was indeed extraordinary.
"This person is so strong. He didn't say a word just now. He seems to be a taciturn person. This kind of person is the best for conversation."
A few sociable students felt a little regretful that they had patronized Yang Wenqing and Dong Nan and ignored such a strong master.
The middle-aged scribe had been observing the performance of this class of martial arts students. When he saw three people following him, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
He stopped in front of a certain palace gate, and everyone rushed there one after another.
Yang Wenqing and Dong Nan glanced at Cao Su who was following them. Cao Su calmed down his momentum, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, his clouds were calm and the wind was light, and he was calm and calm.
"A bit awesome..."
The two of them felt that they were in a difficult situation. Judging from Cao Su's strength, he should not be inferior to them. They didn't expect that there was such a great master in the same class.
After everyone had caught up, the middle-aged scribe directly opened the door of the palace without making any comments and led everyone into the martial arts courtyard of the Imperial College.
Most of the martial artists who come to the Imperial Academy to study are gold-plated students.
Therefore, the management of the martial arts academy is also very relaxed. After the students of this year entered, the middle-aged scribe immediately found a senior to lead the class to manage everyone.
"It's very simple. Doctors and teaching assistants will come to teach every month. Doctors only have one class per month, and teaching assistants have three classes. The teaching content and setting time of the classes are different. You can check it out by yourself. There will be classes every three months.
We will hold a wine ceremony and teach students, and we will notify you in advance."
"Usually in the Wuyuan, you can go to the Wuyuan Dojo to practice on your own, and there will be resident assistants to teach you and answer your questions."
"The arsenal is in the backyard. You can choose one martial art to practice every semester. If you can get a good ranking in the semi-annual exam, you can increase your chances of entering the arsenal."
"Cao Mai Tang is a martial arts resource place set up by the assistant teacher of the martial arts academy. If you want to supplement resources, you can ask the assistant teacher to buy them, as long as you have money."
"If you don't understand anything about the practice, you can ask an assistant to help you. But it also costs a little money, so it's not expensive."
"After one year, if you feel that your studies are successful, you can choose to graduate."
The senior talked eloquently and explained all the rules clearly.
Isn't it a public office?
Cao Su was speechless. In addition to free classes, why is he spending money everywhere in this university?
Then he is really just here to get gold plating, there is no need to waste time here at all.
"What if I don't graduate?"
Someone below was confused.
The senior said: "If you don't graduate, you will naturally stay in school and continue to practice until you are willing to graduate."
He pointed at himself and said with a smile: "I'm the kind of person who never graduates."
Cao Su couldn't help but ask: "Where do you usually practice? Do you want to practice together?"
The senior glanced at Cao Su and said: "You can go to the dojo to practice, but there is only one day in January for free. If you want to practice in the dojo during the rest of the time, you will have to spend some money unless you are rewarded for excelling in the major and minor exams."
The Wuyuan Dojo is a famous training place in the Wuyuan.
Cao Su had heard it before, but he hadn't had time to understand it carefully.
The students who were accompanying him below whispered in Cao Su's ear and explained very enthusiastically: "The martial arts dojo was set up by the Emperor Gaozu, and there is a sword hanging with the emperor's army. The spiritual energy is everywhere in the dojo, and the sword energy is dancing wildly. If it is a talented practitioner,
If a swordsman practices in the dojo, one day can be as good as ten days for others."
"In this dynasty, the dojo was modified again, and some world-famous magic weapons were placed in the dojo, separated into different places, to suit martial artists who practice different weapons."
Cao Su understood that this was the place he wanted.
Everyone gathers together to practice. If someone makes a breakthrough, he will be the first to express congratulations.
