Tianyue Royal Academy is the only academy in the Tianyue Dynasty that trains contractors. The academy is divided into three sub-divisions, namely the Contracting Academy, the Mechanical Academy, and the Summoning Academy. The promise is to summon the first-class students of the academy: each
Students in the academy branch are promoted from fifth-class students, and when they reach first-class students, they can officially join the Imperial Legion.
This day is the actual test before the start of the second summoning ceremony. Only the top 1,000 people in the test can participate in the summoning ceremony seven days later and become real summoners.
Xu Nuo rushed out of the college gate early that morning and ran to the blacksmith shop in the East District with excitement...
"Where is my sword?!" Xu Nuo shouted loudly as soon as he rushed into the blacksmith shop.
Over the past few days, Xu Nuo has been pestering Dongfang Fan, asking him to build a sword for herself. The latter couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree - and today is the date the two agreed to pick up the sword.
"Xiao Nuo, you're here. Mr. Dongfang is in the casting room and said that it will be completed in half an hour. Why don't you sit down for a while? Why didn't you bring Jin Yan with you today? I remember that you never fail to bring it with you.
Jin Yan went out... You said it was a proof of glory and strength..." Liu Yuxin heard the sound and came out of the repair room.
"I don't know why, but recently I feel that the Jinyan Sword is becoming more and more uncomfortable the more I use it... All I think about is the sword, even in my dreams... This afternoon is the practical exam. If I can't get the sword today,
, I always feel that I can't get into the top one thousand... Sister Yuxin, I really want a sword. In order to wait for this day, I can't eat almost every day!" Xu Nuo's eager look is enough to express the urgency in her heart.
, just after sitting down for a few seconds, he stood up again excitedly.
Liu Yuxin greeted Xu Nuo to sit down and chatted with her, waiting for the moment when Dongfang Fan succeeded...
Soon after, the knocking sound in the casting room stopped. Xunuo immediately stopped talking with Liu Yuxin and stared blankly at the door of the casting room.
After another ten minutes, the door opened, and Dongfang Fan stepped out, holding a sheathed sword in his hand!
"Take it, don't blame me for not reminding you. If this sword is used to kill white ghosts, the effect will definitely not be as good as a weapon composed of crystal cores...and..." Dongfang Fan threw the sword to Xu Nuo and saw that the latter had a
He didn't seem to hear what he was saying at all, so he didn't continue talking.
"Sword...finally..." Xunuo was overjoyed, holding the scabbard and hilt with both hands. The sword was three feet long. The hilt was a canthus with a tiger head and a jackal body. The scabbard was made of wood, along with the sword.
The entire body of the sheath is shown in red.
Xu Nuo holds the hilt of the sword and pulls out the long sword. The blade is silvery white and the sword jaw at the junction of the hilt and the sword body is golden. The sword jaw is originally a part of the sword body. The traditional sword jaw is a piece of iron wrapped around it.
On top of the sword body, Dongfang Fan polished the kaifeng sword body on the basis of the original simplified form. The small part that remained was the sword jaw, which gave the whole sword a natural and majestic feeling.
!
"Huh? Why are there no health slots? When the teachers at the academy teach us how to choose weapons, they always ask us to choose more than two health slots on long-edged weapons, saying that this can effectively consume the enemy's health." Although Xu Nuo was thinking in his heart.
She is very satisfied and fond of this sword, but the failure to see the bleeding groove on the sword is a bit beyond her common sense.
"First point, as you are now, you can't penetrate any White Walker's body with this sword, so the health tank is useless; second point, this is a sword, not any other weapon. The sword I forged
You won't be able to open bleeding slots that are looming and cruel... In addition, if you let me know that you have opened bleeding slots on your sword, I have the right to take back the sword in your hand." When Dongfang Fan said this, he was very serious.
He glanced at the promise.
"I don't want it!" Xu Nuo wrinkled her nose and put the sword back into the scabbard with a look of love on her face. She didn't care whether there was a blood tank or not, but she didn't like what Dongfang Fan said about "having the right to take it back."
.
"No matter what, thank you for casting this sword for me. By the way, does this sword have a name?"
"This is the first sword...its name is: Dawn." Dongfang Fan thought for a while and replied, then turned around and went back to the forging room to continue studying the method of making swords.
"Hey! This afternoon is the students' practical test. Do you want to be a spectator? You can also see who is more powerful between the sword you forged and other weapons. If you are willing to go, I can help you find the best viewing position.
!" He promised to invite Dongfang Fan to watch the battle. The latter was stunned, and really wanted to see what would happen if the two parties with the same fighting power each held their own swords and crystal nuclear weapons. After all, Dongfang Fan's power
Compared with the promise, it is impossible to tell the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon.
"Okay." After Dongfang Fan responded, he returned to the foundry. After a while, there were waves of iron sounds coming from inside...
…
In the afternoon of that day, exactly two thousand first-class students entered the center of the venue in the royal students' fighting field. This fighting field was built five years ago. The overall style imitates the ancient Roman Colosseum. It is usually used for challenges and gambling battles.
It is used as an examination room when the four branches of the college conduct their annual practical examinations.
In the entire fighting arena, there are four VIP viewing rooms in the east, west, north and south. Only those with important official positions in the dynasty or those with high-priced wallets can enter. Today, a character "more than ten thousand people" appeared quietly in the arena.
Enter the VIP room on the east side.
When Xu Nuo entered the venue, he began to look for the familiar figure in the west viewing area. Soon after, he saw the shadow of the man with blood-eyed eyes and white hair. He rushed up and waved, his face full of joy.
"There are only two thousand candidates for the practical exam this time, so each person only needs to take one exam. Those who win will pass directly, and those who fail will have to wait until next year. The allocation for the practical exam is based on random drawing. I will listen later.
Just go to the venue to take the exam if you come up with your name. Now go to the back room to rest." After the examiner explained the content of the exam, he dismissed the two thousand students.
Dongfang Fan, who is sitting in the front row of the west viewing area, is sitting upright with a Jiuxiao ring pendant on his thigh. People around him are very unfamiliar with this white-haired young man. Some people say he is a foreigner, others say he is sick.
.
Just as the people around him were talking a lot, Xu Nuo, who had left the venue, appeared in the viewing area and sat on the left side of Dongfang Fan. While introducing the names, origins, and backgrounds of the students who came on stage one after another, the people around him were envious.
.
"Wow! This meeting is very exciting! The boy in white is called the first grade student. He is the most promising and strongest among the first-class students in this class. He has a high reputation among the same class! And the other guy in gray is
The man in the suit seems to be a graduate of the previous class. It is said that he has fought on the front line with the White Walkers. However, because he was the only one in his team to survive, the dynasty considered him a deserter and sent him to prison.
Send the student back to study again. He was a student of the Contracting Army before. Although he should have won the first grade in high school in the end, the graduate should have persisted for a while." Xu Nuo didn't know much about the man in gray, so he didn't even mention his name.
Don't know either.
"With one move, the one in gray clothes wins."
While Dongfang Fan was muttering to himself, the test on the field began. Xu Nuo heard Dongfang Fan's words and turned around curiously to ask Dongfang Fan why, but at this moment - she missed the outcome.
In the scene in the field, the boy in white had only half withdrawn the knife from his waist, but the man in gray had already arrived in front of him. His body blocked the punch that hit the boy in white's abdomen. When he took a step back, the man in white's
The movement was deadlocked for three seconds, and then he fell to the ground and fainted!
"How is it possible..." The audience who were all paying attention were shocked.
"Wen and Wu, win!" In the examiner's judgment, Wen and Wu walked out of the venue expressionlessly, without any joy at all because of their victory.
"What just happened? Why did the top student lose? What happened?" When Xu Nuo looked back, everything was over. She didn't even know how the top student fell to the ground.
Dongfang Fan did not answer Xu Nuo's question. Just when Xu Nuo was about to ask further questions, the examiner in the room read her name——
"Next game, promise, Zheng Zhongjin!"
"Zheng Zhongjin? How did you meet him?!" Xu Nuo was stunned, and his body trembled with fear.
"Your expression seems to be telling others before the competition starts: you lost." Dongfang Fan said jokingly.
"If I meet him... maybe, I really can't win... Why is it him... Zheng Zhongjin is the last student who graduated from the contract branch with the strongest record... It is said that he has gold, fire
, the four contracting laws of thunder and earth... But I don't know why, he refused to join the contracting army and returned to the academy to retake it. I heard that he would participate in the summoner's assessment this time, but I didn't expect it to be true...
It's over...There are only 2,000 candidates this time, I can't afford to lose even one game..." Xu Nuo bit her lower lip reluctantly, her heart full of anxiety and her face full of disappointment.
"Why do you want to become a summoner so much?" Dongfang Fan asked casually.
"Because I will use my own power to defeat the White Walkers! Protect everyone in the dynasty! In the academy's courses, I once mentioned how desperate the world was eight years ago... Looking at the happy and happy smiles of the people in the royal city,
I don't want that kind of despair to ruin everything again... But, I can't win..." Xu Nuo stared at the figure that had returned to normal, with a lost expression.
"If you are desperate, how can you drive away despair from the world? Go ahead...this time...you will win..."
Xu Nuo was stunned after hearing this. She turned her head and looked at Dongfang Fan, who looked calm, and fell into deep thought...
…
In the VIP room to the east of the fighting arena, the emperor, who was more than ten thousand people, looked at the woman next to the white-haired figure opposite, and asked the bodyguard next to him: "Dayong, that white-haired man next to Nuo'er, who are you?"
Do you know her? From the look of her... she seems to like that man very much."
"Your Majesty, this is the first time that Wei Chen has seen that man with white hair. It seems that he has just arrived in the royal capital recently. Although I don't know what relationship Nuo'er has with him... I believe that after father knows about this matter, there will be
Handled." A strong man next to the Lord of Heaven bowed and answered.
"Haha, don't misinterpret my meaning. I'm just curious about the identity of that person. I don't deliberately want to break up lovers. Just ignore this matter and continue watching the competition. But in this one, I'm afraid
Nuo'er can't win." Yue Chongsheng chuckled, feeling familiar with the white-haired man's face, but not having any impression...
