After entering the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall, Zhan Chen heard bursts of fighting sounds coming from the southwest. Following the sound, he could faintly see fire rising into the sky in the distance. It was obvious that someone was fighting fiercely. He recalled what Lin Wusheng had said to him.
If so, I guessed that it was the fighting aura generated by the Lin family's children when they were competing with each other, and immediately wanted to go over and take a look.
However, he still suppressed his impulse. Now it was more important to meet Lin An, the dean of the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall, so he walked along the avenue. After some inquiries, he finally arrived at the center of the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall.
In front of a nine-story attic, I looked up and saw the three characters "Jingwu Pavilion" written on the lintel of the first floor of the attic.
"According to the senior brothers I asked before, Lin An is on the top floor of this attic. It should be correct." Zhan Chen thought as he walked into the attic and went straight to the ninth floor.
There was only one large room on the ninth floor of Jingwu Pavilion, and the door of the room was closed. Zhan Chen came to the door and knocked lightly a few times, and a loud voice came from the door: "Please come in!
"
Zhan Chen pushed the door open and entered. When he saw a burly middle-aged man sitting opposite him, he guessed that he was Lin An, so he saluted and said: "Disciple Zhan Chen is here to report."
Lin An was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said: "Zhan Chen, this name is a bit familiar. I remember that guy Lin Wusheng told me last time that one of his servants wanted to join my martial arts training -
—”
"That's right for you. This is my letter of introduction." Zhan Chen handed over the letter that Lin Wusheng gave him.
Lin An took the letter, read it for a while, and said, "Well, yes, it's Lin Wusheng's handwriting. So Zhan Chen, you can practice at the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall from today on."
"This is great!"
"Well, this is indeed an opportunity. Here you will discover a brand new self and find your future development direction. In fact, our Lin Family Martial Arts Hall is equivalent to an academy, but there is one thing you must pay attention to, that is, you
Since you have joined, you must abide by the disciplines here. As for the disciplines, you can find them on the bulletin boards in our martial arts hall, so I won’t go into details. And you must live in the martial arts hall and accept it.
Study in complete isolation and wait five hundred years before you can leave the martial arts hall."
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "Don't say five hundred years, I can stay here for five thousand years."
"After you finish studying, you must pass the final exam. We will give you a rating and comment based on your final exam results, and then issue you a corresponding certificate. Based on this certificate, you can find what you want in various industries of the Lin family.
position."
"It turned out that it was done so professionally."
"Yes, as the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. The Lin family is very big and needs a system to maintain its normal operation. I have registered your information. From now on, you will be an official student in our Lin family martial arts hall.
.”
"Thank you, Dean. Then Dean Lin, where should I live?"
Lin An took out paper and pen, immediately wrote a letter of introduction, stamped it with his seal and handed it to Zhan Chen, saying: "Take him to the dormitory management office, where they will arrange your accommodation."
"Thank you for your trouble!"
"Haha, it's nothing. I treat every member of the Lin family equally."
Zhan Chen took the letter of introduction and left. He found the dormitory office, handed the letter of introduction to them, and soon got the key to his room.
He went to the dormitory area in the southwest corner of the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall and found that there were fifty ten-story buildings built there. These were the dormitories where students from the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall lived.
There are more than 3,000 students inside, some of whom are descendants of the Lin family, and many more are servants of the Lin family who came to study like Zhan Chen.
When Zhan Chen came to his room, he opened the door and went in. He found that there were more than 100 square meters inside. Although it was small, it had complete facilities. It also included a training room. He entered the training room and activated the spiritual formation in it. Suddenly, there was a wave of energy.
A stream of star power gushes out from the spiritual formation, but its concentration is not as high as the star power provided by the practice room in Lin's home. It is only equivalent to one-half of the level. If you practice in seclusion here, your progress will definitely be greatly reduced.
.
But Zhan Chen didn't come here to practice in seclusion. On the contrary, he wanted to make good use of these five hundred years to do other useful things, such as studying his alchemy skills, and fighting as many masters of the Lin family as possible to improve his combat power.
wait.
After tidying up his room, Zhan Chen walked out of the door. As soon as he went out, he saw a young man lying in the corridor. His cultivation level was the same as his own, at the six-star level, so he said hello by the way: "Hello
.”
The other party also turned to look at Zhan Chen and said with a smile: "Hello."
Just as Zhan Chen was about to turn around and leave, the young man said again: "My name is Chen Shu, what's your name?"
"War morning."
"Zhan Chen, you just arrived."
"Yes, starting from today I am also studying in Wutang, and Brother Chen can be regarded as my senior brother."
"Senior brother, don't take this seriously. We all work for the Lin family. My house is next door to yours, so we are neighbors and can take care of each other in the future."
"That's natural."
"Brother Zhan, you must be new here and don't know what to do next."
Zhan Chen cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, please give me some advice."
"Actually, it's nothing. First of all, you have to understand the rules here. They are clearly written on the notice board in our dormitory building. Then, you have to find a professor here as your mentor, which means establishing a development direction, and then
Try to listen to as many lectures as possible by these professors and interact with them
It will be good for you to get to know them well, because they will write our graduation evaluation in the future. In addition, as cultivators, our cultivation and combat power are of course the most important. We should participate in more arena battles.
Working hard to improve your combat effectiveness will be very helpful for the year-end assessment."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice. You are very detailed, but there is still something I don't understand."
"Say it."
"We all had different cultivation levels when we entered the martial arts hall. Therefore, the gap in combat power between each of us must be very huge. How will we calculate it during the assessment?"
"You don't have to worry about this. The assessment is based on the same cultivation level. That means that during the assessment and competition, the examiner will rate your strength based on your level of cultivation. That means you don't have to be better than someone with a higher level of cultivation.
For a person with a high level of cultivation, it is enough to be ranked high among those with a similar level of cultivation to you, and the same is true when fighting in the arena, otherwise we in the six-star realm will not be able to fight against those in the seven-star realm."
"That's right."
"Just how should we find the professor we need to defect to?"
"Haha, you can go to the Martial Arts Hall to take a look at the class schedule. There are monthly class schedules there. Usually each professor teaches for one day, with breaks in between. Which professor do you want to join, as long as you are in the corresponding time?
Just find that professor, tell him your situation, and register. Of course, you can also choose multiple options, that is, be apprenticed to several professors at the same time, as long as you have enough energy."
"Are there any special benefits to learning a few more subjects?"
"Just get more basic certificates, and of course you also learn more skills. When you go out from here in the future, you can choose more positions. However, I advise you not to choose too many, just specialize in one. After all, our energy is all
It is limited, and studying them all means that each subject cannot be thoroughly studied. Besides, cultivation is still the most important to us. Instead of spending time on these detailed skills, we should work hard to improve our cultivation."
"yes."
"But you can't underestimate those professors too much. If your performance is not good, they have the right to expel you. Then you will be in trouble and have to find a new professor."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice. I already understand."
"Well, I suggest you go to the Martial Arts Hall first and take a look at the class schedule there to determine your research direction."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhan Chen said, and then he left the dormitory and walked towards the martial arts hall. Not long after, he arrived at his destination.
The martial arts hall is a grand circular auditorium that can seat three to four thousand people at the same time. However, at this moment, Zhan Chen cannot go in to observe, because there is a lecturer inside. If you rush in, you will be punished.
Not interesting.
So, he went to the bulletin board nearby and started to check the class schedule. In fact, Zhan Chen had already had a clear purpose before coming here, which was to further improve his alchemy skills, so he soon found his
Goal - On the 15th and 16th of each month, a professor named Lin Shuwen will come here to teach people the art of alchemy.
"Isn't the fifteenth the day after tomorrow? This is great, I can learn the Lin family's alchemy skills right away!" Zhan Chen thought excitedly.
After returning, he waited at home until early on the third day, when he hurried to the auditorium, walked into it and waited quietly. After a while, people came in one after another and sat down at random.
At this moment, an old man walked in and attracted the attention of everyone present. Someone immediately stood up and saluted him: "Hello, Professor!"
In this way, Zhan Chen knew that this old man was Lin Shuwen he was looking for.
This Lin Shuwen was dressed in a pure white Taoist robe and held a whisk in his hand. He looked like a fairy. Although his hair and beard were all white, his face was as rosy as a baby, and his eyes were as bright as the stars shining in the sky.
His cultivation is even more unfathomable and awe-inspiring.
Zhan Chen waited until he came to the podium, stood up, walked over in a hurry, and saluted: "Hello, Professor!"
Lin Shuwen glanced at Zhan Chen and said, "Young man, you are new to me. You just came here, right?"
"Yes, the student has only been here for two days and wants to learn alchemy under your tutelage." Zhan Chen said.
