The people preparing to take the assessment in the square were divided into two rows. A small number of those who took the assessment of the School of Liberal Arts stood on the left, and the vast majority of those who participated in the Martial Arts Academy stood on the right. This is the case every year in the assessment, and there are far fewer students in the School of Liberal Arts.
In the martial arts academy, this is not because everyone dislikes studying, but because Western Chu is a country that emphasizes force. Even with the same official title, the status of military generals is slightly higher than that of civilian officials.
In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 people lined up, and some of them had already entered the Minsheng Academy and started taking exams.
Lu Yang and Li Xiaopang stood at the back. There were thousands of people in front waiting for the assessment. It would take some time before it was their turn.
About half an hour later, there were not many people in front of them. At this speed, it would only take half a cup of tea before it was their turn. Li Xiaopang glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said:
"Lu Yang, your cultivation is not good enough. Do you want to go to the liberal arts academy first? After you enter the academy and become a formal student, you can then find a way to enter the martial arts academy?"
Lu Yang had thought about this problem before, but ultimately rejected this method.
With Lu Yang's extraordinary memory ability, it is not difficult to enter the liberal arts college. However, if he wants to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, Minsheng College may not agree.
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "No need, wait until I see the instructor and ask him if he can meet with the dean. As long as I give the letter to the dean, maybe I can make an exception and enter the martial arts academy."
"Letter?" Li Xiaopang was startled and said, "Do you still know the dean?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "If I knew the dean, would I still need to stand in line here?"
Li Xiaopang thought for a while and realized that what Lu Yang said made sense, and then asked: "Then how did you get the letter?"
"I know a senior who has some friendship with the dean, so he wrote a letter for me." Lu Yang didn't want to tell anyone about Dr. Su, so he simply said it.
Li Xiaopang's eyes lit up and he sighed: "I didn't expect you to know such a senior. If only I had met you a few years ago, I might have been able to enter the academy without waiting for another three years."
"A few years ago, I was a poor boy who had just escaped from the Lu Mansion. At that time, even if you asked about it, I couldn't help you get the letterhead!" Lu Yang thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He just smiled lightly.
.
The time for half a cup of tea passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yang and Li Xiaopang entered the Minsheng Academy one after another.
The academy is very large. After entering, you can see a straight road. The road is paved with stone strips. It is extremely smooth and about three feet wide. It is enough to accommodate several carriages passing side by side. After walking about a hundred feet, two people appeared in front of them.
In individual colleges, those who take the assessment of the School of Liberal Arts enter on the left, and those who take the assessment of the School of Martial Arts enter on the right.
Lu Yang came to the other courtyard and at first glance, he saw that the other courtyard was full of boys and girls. Most of them were men, but there were also women. There were only a few dozen or so. Most of these boys and girls were dejected and had a depressed look on their faces. They had obviously failed the examination.
, only a few hundred people were excited, with faint smiles on their lips.
The courtyard is very large, three-thirds larger than the square. Fan Yuanpeng stands in the middle of the courtyard. There is a huge stone tablet in front of him. The stone tablet is three feet high and half a foot wide. It looks very
It is simple and simple. If you look carefully, you can see countless lines carved on the stone tablet. Those lines are very strange, just like the formations in Xianxia novels.
Li Xiaopang had already been here once and was very familiar with the purpose of the stone tablet. Lu Yang stared at the stone tablet and said: "This stone tablet is very magical. It can judge a person's cultivation level. As long as a punch is punched on the stone tablet, the stone will be released."
Emit bright light. If it is yellow light, it means the cultivation level of the Yellow Level. The brighter the yellow light, the higher the cultivation level. If the entire stele emits dazzling yellow light, it proves that it has reached the state of Dzogchen in the later stage of the Yellow Level."
At this moment, there were several people in front of Lu Yang taking the test. Fan Yuanpeng pointed to the person at the front with a solemn expression and said: "It's your turn. Increase all the real power in your body and punch the stone tablet."
"Yes." The young man stepped forward, took a deep breath, and punched the stone tablet.
There was only a muffled bang, and the stone tablet was as motionless as a rock. The real power exerted by the young man seemed to be absorbed by the stone tablet.
The next moment, a yellow light emitted from the stone tablet. Although the yellow light was not weak, it did not reach the dazzling Chengdu.
Fan Yuanpeng's face darkened, he glanced at the young man with some displeasure, and said: "Mid-level Huang level, unqualified." He paused, and then continued to ask: "Do you have any special skills?"
The young man seemed to know the result and was not nervous. He said: "Teacher Fan, I have been proficient in swordsmanship since I was a child. I wonder if this is considered a specialty?"
"Swordsmanship?" Fan Yuanpeng raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested, and said, "You perform a set of swordsmanship on me. If you are really proficient in swordsmanship as you said, I can make an exception and let you enter the academy. If not,
Don’t come back for three years.”
The young man nodded, drew out the long sword from his waist, suddenly raised his right hand, and attacked Fan Yuanpeng.
The long sword danced, transformed into sword flowers, and came to Fan Yuanpeng at an astonishing speed.
This young man's sword skills are indeed practiced well. Although he has not practiced to the point of perfection, he will never reach this level without several years of hard training. If you don't look at the attack power of the sword skills, but only look at the fancy, then you can appreciate it.
It was indeed good, and for a while, it caused many people around to applaud.
The young man didn't really want to attack Fan Yuanpeng. The moment the sword flower came to Fan Yuanpeng, he took it back and said with some pride: "Master Fan, I am pretty good at practicing this set of swordsmanship!"
Fan Yuanpeng made a cold sound and said disdainfully: "This is also called swordsmanship. Do you think it can kill people?"
The young man looked a little ugly and couldn't help but ask: "Coach Fan, why can't I kill people with my swordsmanship? In the past, in the village, I often went up the mountain to kill wild beasts like wolves, tigers and leopards."
"With your sword skills, you can kill ferocious beasts. It's just a trick." Fan Yuanpeng saw that the young man still refused to give up and snorted coldly, "Come and attack me. If you can touch the corner of my clothes, you will win."
Already."
The young man looked confident and said: "Teacher Fan, if I win, how about letting me enter Minsheng Academy?"
"Okay, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." Fan Yuanpeng was too lazy to talk nonsense and changed the subject, "Let's get started!"
The young man shouted low and swung the sword again. This time the speed was even faster than before. The moment the sword was swung, hundreds of sword flowers turned into sword shadows and went straight to Fan Yuanpeng's chest. He had to go straight to Fan Yuanpeng's chest.
He said that the speed of the sword shadow was very fast, and it arrived in front of Fan Yuanpeng in an instant, and when it was about to touch the corner of Fan Yuanpeng's clothes, an unexpected scene happened.
Fan Yuanpeng snorted coldly, raised his right hand, passed through the shadow of the sword at an extremely fast speed, and immediately opened the hilt of the sword with a palm.
A "clang" sound was heard, and the long sword in the young man's hand was knocked down. He took three steps back before regaining his balance.
The young man's face changed drastically, he looked at Fan Yuanpeng in surprise, shook his head and said: "Impossible, how could you possibly shoot down my sword?"
"As I said just now, your swordsmanship is indeed fancy, but it doesn't have much offensive power. Will you use your sword shadow to scare the enemy away when facing thousands of troops in the future?" Fan Yuanpeng said coldly, "If you are not qualified, I will be next.
one."
The young man was unwilling, picked up the long sword and said: "Give me another chance."
"I've given you the opportunity, but you didn't grasp it." Fan Yuanpeng said sternly, "Get out of the way quickly, or I will drive you out of here." As soon as he finished speaking, he released a huge momentum again.
The young man sighed and walked aside with his head drooped, his eyes full of regret.
The next examiner to take the stage was cruelly eliminated because his cultivation level was too low.
Among the first few people, except for one who has reached the Dzogchen state of the late Huang level, the rest are unqualified.
Lu Yang frowned. He did not expect that the failure rate of the assessment was so high. He asked in a low voice: "Since they are all unqualified, why do they still come here to take the assessment?"
Li Xiaopang knew this situation well and said: "You may not know it, but in fact, most of these people's strength has reached the late Huang-level Dzogchen state, but they have just broken through and have not stabilized yet. They have not stabilized yet.
I came here just to take a gamble and see if I could bring out my full strength, but I didn’t expect that each of them was more nervous than the other, and in the end they could only show their strength at the late Huang level and were eliminated miserably.”
Lu Yang nodded suddenly. If he had just broken through to the late stage of Huang Jie's Dzogchen realm and was approaching the assessment date, he would come and take a gamble.
Not long after, it was Lu Yang and Li Xiaopang's turn. Li Xiaopang stepped in front of Lu Yang and said, "I'll go first. You can think about how to deal with Coach Fan later."
Lu Yang nodded, patted Li Xiaopang on the shoulder and said, "Come on."
"Don't worry!" Li Xiaopang said with confidence, "I will definitely succeed this time."
Li Xiaopang ducked in front of Fan Yuanpeng, bowed to him, then took a deep breath, raised all the strength in his body and punched the stone tablet. There was another muffled bang,
A dazzling yellow light was released from the stone tablet. At this moment, everyone closed their eyes subconsciously.
The yellow light dissipated and everyone opened their eyes. Most people looked at Xiaopang Li with envy because he succeeded in the assessment.
Fan Yuanpeng nodded and said, "What's your name?"
"Little Fatty Li." Little Fatty Li replied.
Fan Yuanpeng took out a stone waist badge from his sleeve, threw it to Li Xiaopang, and said: "Take this, wait over there first, and we will enter the martial arts academy together after the assessment."
"Yes, Coach Fan." Li Xiaopang bowed and then turned around and walked not far away.
The moment he turned around, Li Xiaopang glanced at Lu Yang. His eyes clearly reminded Lu Yang that if it didn't work, just give up the assessment and come back next year.
Fan Yuanpeng glanced at Lu Yang and said, "Next one."
Lu Yang strode past, bowed down in the same manner, cupped his fists and said, "Can we start?"
Fan Yuanpeng could tell at a glance that Lu Yang had not met the assessment standards at all, and had not even reached the pseudo-realm. He waved his hand and said: "You can go. If you give up now, I can forget about it and you can come to take the assessment next year. On the contrary, you can leave."
, if you insist on taking the assessment, you will lose your qualifications within three years, so you have to think carefully."
The so-called pseudo-realm means that not long after you have broken through to a certain realm, your cultivation has not yet stabilized.
Lu Yang replied without even thinking, "I want to participate."
"Another person who won't give up until he sees the coffin. I want to see where you get your confidence from." Fan Yuanpeng was too lazy to talk nonsense to Lu Yang. He thought that Lu Yang, like those people, also had a stubborn temper, and waved his hand.
, "Have you seen that stone tablet? Punch with all your strength, and it will tell you your current cultivation level."
