The small episode of meeting Su Meier by chance did not affect Qin Feng's mood. Qin Feng walked all the way to the square of Lingyun College.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform, with a flagpole erected on the high platform, and a large flag with the word "gan" fluttering in the wind. The word "gan" represents the Kingdom of Daqian.
In addition to teaching students how to practice, the academy also often tells students about the many heroes in the Daqian Kingdom and publicizes their deeds, in order to inspire people's love for the kingdom.
Gradually, more and more people gathered in the square, reaching thousands of people, including all the students of Lingyun College.
An old man in gray clothes walked up to the high platform with a solemn expression and stood under the flag.
"Today is an extremely important day for you. Some of you will join the city army and start a new journey. You may even jump over the dragon gate and enter the four courtyards of the royal city to obtain superior training resources. But ,Before that, I want to ask you a question."
"The so-called practice! What is it for?" the old man in gray asked.
The crowd was talking a lot, and some people were rushing to answer.
"Become strong!"
“Prolong life!”
"Serve the Kingdom!"
The old man in gray seemed to be very popular with the crowd. When he saw his hands pressing down, the crowd immediately fell silent.
"I just heard someone talking about serving the kingdom, which makes me feel very happy." The old man said with a smile.
"The wilderness in the northwest is in chaos, and countless ferocious beasts are causing trouble. Two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Daqian was established. The ferocious beasts were exterminated, and thieves and bandits were killed. Countless ancestors threw their heads and shed blood! Our stable life now is their destiny. In exchange! Even now, for the sake of the stability of our lives, there are still countless people who stick to the borders and to the dangerous places where all kinds of ferocious beasts are infested!"
"Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about our Puying City. In the past hundred years, there have been six city lords. However, no city lord can be re-elected for twenty years, and no city lord has lived past fifty years! Every time there is a city lord. When a tide of beasts attacks, or when thieves and bandits cause trouble, they will always be the ones leading the city army to charge forward!"
"Even our current city lord Deng Qingfeng suffered a serious injury ten years ago, leaving serious sequelae on his body."
The voice of the old man in gray was short and powerful, penetrating people's hearts.
The law of heaven is ruthless, natural selection prevails, and the weak eat the strong. The world is fair, and no one is destined to enjoy an easy life at birth.
But when people are at ease, how many of them know that behind that ease and peace, there is a river of blood flowing with the blood of countless people...
Countless people were silent, and some even had temperament, with slightly warm eyes. They may be indifferent to the heroic legends recorded in history, but they cannot be indifferent to the people around them. The successive lords of Puying City, and even Deng Qingfeng, are all people of Puying City.
At this time, even Qin Feng felt a little moved in his heart. Although he was the reincarnation of the Martial Saint, he was still from Puying City, and Puying City was his root.
At first, when he met Deng Qingfeng for the first time, he gave him a prescription to heal his injuries. It was also because he valued Deng Qingfeng's contribution to Puying City in the past ten years.
"Serve the Kingdom!" I don't know who was the first to shout the slogan. Suddenly the crowd became excited and thousands of people echoed!
The old man in gray was very satisfied with the scene in front of him. He stood on the high platform, bowed to everyone, and said: "Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. Now, I would like to ask Elder Liu to preside over the rest. matters.
As soon as the old man in gray finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man with a stern face walking onto the stage.
"The academy provides you with cultivation resources to cultivate talents, not waste." Elder Liu's first words after taking the stage were filled with a hint of sternness.
This made many people frown secretly. But they knew that although Elder Liu's words were unpleasant, they were not unreasonable. Therefore, no one spoke up to refute.
"Anyone who is over sixteen years old and has not reached the fourth level of body tempering, please come forward for me." Elder Liu said again.
At the age of sixteen, the cultivation level has not reached the fourth level of body tempering. This is almost certain that these people's cultivation talents are too poor. Even if they continue to practice, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
At the beginning, Qin Feng's cultivation had only regressed to the third level of body tempering, and he was regarded as waste by countless people. It was also for this reason.
There were nearly a hundred young students who walked out of the crowd with their heads lowered and full of shame. None of their cultivation levels were lower than the fourth level of Body Tempering.
Elder Liu glanced at those people coldly, "Your qualifications are too poor, and continuing to practice in Lingyun College is undoubtedly a waste of resources! From today on, you are no longer students of Lingyun College!"
The faces of the hundreds of students suddenly turned pale. A moment ago, they were among the crowd, shouting slogans to serve the kingdom with passion, but in the blink of an eye, their dreams suddenly vanished. They had no talent for cultivation, and could only become commoners in the future.
However, they could only bear it silently and could not refute it at all.
This, perhaps, is the so-called destiny.
The hundred people walked out of the college dejectedly, but among them there was a short, slightly fat young man who clenched his fists with a look of reluctance on his face.
Xiaopang seemed to have mustered up great courage and said to Elder Liu: "Elder, my cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of body tempering. As long as you give me another month, my cultivation will definitely reach the level of body tempering."
Quadruple!”
"So what? Even if you can reach the fourth level of body tempering in a month, your qualifications are still too poor. And the ironclad rule is that even if you are one day late, you won't be able to do it!" Elder Liu shouted.
Xiaopang clenched his fists, but had nothing to say.
Qin Feng also glanced at the little fat man, but he faintly felt a trace of martial spirit aura from the little fat man. The martial soul aura was not weak, at least it was a third-grade martial spirit. In fact, such a talent is not bad, if
His cultivation has reached the fourth level of body tempering and he has successfully condensed his martial soul. He will definitely be ranked among the middle ranks of the academy.
However, there are always some people in this world who are late bloomers. In Qin Feng's thousands of years of experience, there are many people who were initially considered useless and whose cultivation speed was extremely slow, but later became so powerful that they soared to the sky.
It's a pity that the rules of Lingyun Academy are too arbitrary, and Elder Liu is also a little too unkind.
When Elder Liu saw Little Fatty standing motionless, he shouted: "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting to be dragged away by the college's guards?"
Xiaopang secretly gritted his teeth and walked out of the academy with difficulty. As he walked, he walked to both ends of his destiny. After leaving the academy, he had no resources to practice and no skills to learn.
His life is almost a foregone conclusion.
"Even if I leave the academy, I will never give up my practice!" Xiaopang raised his head stubbornly, his eyes full of perseverance. After saying this, he strode out in a hurry.
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and his heart was slightly moved. This scene was so similar to what he had experienced in his previous life! In his previous life, when he was sixteen years old, his strength had not reached the fourth level of body tempering, and he was driven out of Lingyun by Elder Liu.
College.
"So what if a waste has a strong mind?" Elder Liu sneered, without a trace of sympathy in his heart, but with some disdain.
He had seen so many such wastes over the years. Many people had made bold remarks when they left, saying that they would never give up practice and would one day become strong. The grumpy ones among them even shouted,
I will make a strong comeback in the future and completely change the rules of Lingyun Academy!
But what’s the result? Ten years later, haven’t those young people who uttered such arrogant words turned into bastards with their backs to the sky and their backs to the earth?
Ambition? Ideal? Are always so powerless in the face of cruel reality.
The crowd felt a little depressed, and the thousands of students did not even dare to take a breath under Elder Liu's cold and stern eyes.
"Now, please those students who have reached the seventh level of body tempering, please come forward." Elder Liu said again.
"Seventh level of body tempering?" The crowd was instantly in an uproar. To reach the seventh level of body tempering at the age of sixteen, what kind of talent is required!
Qin Feng remained calm and did not step forward, because his cultivation had already reached the eighth level of body tempering, but what Elder Liu was talking about was the seventh level of body tempering.
Liao Guanfei snorted coldly and walked forward in a swaggering manner. His spiritual power was shaken, and its strength was as strong as the seventh level of body tempering. The look on his face was even more proud and arrogant to the extreme.
Su Meier followed closely behind, and her cultivation was impressively at the seventh level of body tempering.
"Liao Guanfei and Su Mei'er? When did they reach the seventh level of Body Tempering? I clearly remember that they just broke through to the sixth level of Body Tempering a few days ago." Someone in the crowd was confused.
"Liao Guanfei is the son of the dean. He has cultivation resources that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. How can we compare? As far as I know, he took a Wanling Fruit a few days ago and his cultivation level was directly upgraded to the seventh level of body tempering.
It's over." Someone in the crowd explained.
When everyone heard this, some sighed, some were envious, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who wants a good father?
"As for Su Mei'er, Liao Guanfei is so obsessed with her that he must have obtained the Wanling Fruit..."
After Liao Guanfei defeated Su Meier, seven more people came onto the stage, all of whom were in the seventh level of body tempering.
At the age of sixteen, their cultivation reaches the seventh level of body tempering. They are already the most outstanding beings in the academy. They will be qualified to participate in the imperial examination of the four academies of the royal city.
However, Lingyun College has ten places to take the college entrance examination for the four colleges in Wangcheng.
Elder Liu smiled and nodded at the nine people who came onto the stage, and then shouted to the audience: "Are these nine the only people who have reached the seventh level of body tempering?"
The crowd was silent, but no one came forward.
In fact, Elder Liu's question is unnecessary. Those who can reach the seventh level of body tempering are all elite geniuses who have attracted much attention from the academy. The list of those people has long been in Elder Liu's hands.
But the reason why he asked so much was for other reasons. He glanced at a young man in the crowd without leaving any trace.
The young man immediately understood and stepped forward and said: "Disciple Dong Guangyao has a cultivation level at the peak of the sixth level of Body Tempering. He is about to enter the realm of Body Tempering. Please ask Elder Liu to be accommodating."
"Okay, there is just one spot missing from the ten places, so you can take your place." Elder Liu said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate commotion in the crowd. In an instant, sixteen or seventeen more people stood up: "Elder, we are not convinced! Our cultivation is also at the peak of the sixth level of body tempering!"
"Yes! Why can Dong Guangyao take the Royal City Examination, but we can't? Why don't we let him have a fight with us? If he can win, we will definitely be convinced!"
Dong Guangyao said nothing, but looked at Elder Liu with a smile on his face.
Elder Liu immediately snorted angrily: "Tomorrow is the day of the Royal City Examination, and the college has many arrangements, so how can we waste time on you! Moreover, Dong Guangyao has volunteered himself, and he is more courageous than you. For this reason alone, he is more powerful than you.
You are more qualified!"
Elder Liu's words were so powerful that the dozen young people were speechless for a moment. They just secretly hated that they were not as smart as Dong Guangyao, and did not have the courage of Dong Guangyao.
But they don’t know that even if they stand up, Elder Liu will still not choose them because Dong Guangyao gave Elder Liu a big gift three days ago!
"The rules of Lingyun Academy are always fair, just and open! If anyone has objections to my actions, they can stand up." Elder Liu's cold eyes swept over everyone one by one.
Elder Liu has always been famous in the academy for his strictness, and all the thousands of students are silent and dare not say anything.
"What a fair, just and open person." A sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Feng's mouth. He had a clear view of Elder Liu's previous hints to Dong Guangyao.
On a clear day and in a clear world, Elder Liu actually did such an embarrassing thing in front of thousands of students. It was really audacious and extremely shameless!
What's more important is that Qin Feng must occupy one of the ten places in the Royal City Examination!
