On August 27, 843 in the Shenwu calendar, Shang Xia, who had been away from Tongyou City for nearly three months, finally left the two worlds war zone and returned.
By this time, the vacation at Tongyou College had long ended.
After eliminating about one-third of the students in the original six-room outer dormitory and about one-third of the repeaters, all the remaining ones were promoted to the inner dormitory and became official students of Tongyou College.
Originally, this number could reach more than 110 people, but this time when they went to Tongyou Peak for training, they encountered various accidents on the way. Although they were cared for by all parties, they still lost more than 20 people, and finally returned to Tongyou Academy safely.
There are only ninety people left.
These 90 people plus about 30 students who missed the grade in the previous semester, after totaling 120 people, every 20 people are counted as one room, and it is still divided into six rooms.
This is different from usual. Although the number of students in the dormitory has changed in the past, it is not excessively divided into three or four rooms. There are at least thirty or forty people in each room. It has never been divided into six rooms like now, and each room has at least thirty or forty people.
The number of people in one room is also the smallest ever.
"Tongyou College has been accumulating for twenty years, and it's finally time to make some progress!" Shang Xi sighed softly.
In the past, Tongyou Academy had very few talents available, and the two realms of war also involved a lot of energy.
After twenty years of training, Tongyou Academy now has enough manpower to serve as instructors and teachers. Coupled with the massive defeat at Siling Mountain, Tongyou Peak has completely mastered the two realms of battle.
Taking the initiative can also allow the college to devote some of its manpower and energy to promote the development of the college.
"The more rooms there are, the more training material subsidies the college needs to provide. The reduction in the number of people in each room means that the average resource subsidy received by each student will be greatly increased, and the students will receive training, and the instructors will
There will also be more guidance." Shang Xi then analyzed.
Shang Xia looked depressed and said: "I have been absent from school for nearly a month, wouldn't I lose this month's resource subsidy?"
Shang Xi said angrily: "What else can you miss?"
Shang Xia looked like a miser and said: "Of course I want it. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!"
Shang Xi smiled and said: "Then you can try to explain the reason to the college and apply for reissue!"
Shang Xia smiled and asked: "I wonder if there will be changes in the outer house this year?"
"There were changes back then!"
Peng Lanqing, the tutor of the foreign dormitory, came over at some point and said with a smile: "The college originally planned to expand the number of foreign dormitory students this year to eight rooms, a total of 400 people, but later it was increased to ten rooms and 500 students."
Shang Xia exclaimed: "So many?"
Peng Lanqing smiled and said: "Despite the increase in the number of students, the number of students promoted to the inner house among these 500 people every year will never exceed 150!"
Shang Xia thought for a while and said, "Is this to raise the threshold for entering the inner house?"
Peng Lanqing said: "It is to cultivate better warriors, Yanzhou warriors!"
Shang Xi suddenly said: "Will the scope of enrollment be expanded as well?"
Peng Lanqing said solemnly: "Yes, including those old Yan people who have settled in other states!"
After bidding farewell to Liu Qinglan, Kang Ci and others, Shang Ke, the newly appointed patriarch of the Shang family, led a convoy of merchants loaded with various supplies. After leaving the academy, they walked through the streets of the city.
Swinging towards the Shang Mansion, it attracted the attention of countless people along the way.
Perhaps because he had been away for too long and was homesick, the merchant's convoy walked in a hurry. When Shang Xia was at the college, he didn't even have time to ask which room in the inner building he was assigned to.
In just three months, Tongyou City has undergone tremendous changes.
After coming out of Tongyou College, the flow of people on the streets in the city increased significantly.
But judging from the way they dress, apart from the locals in Tongyou City, there are still many foreign warriors wandering the streets.
Although the expanding population has made Tongyou City appear much busier on the surface, compared with before, the city has also lost its past neatness and order appears to be a bit disorganized.
On the way back to the Shang Mansion, Shang Xia even saw two or three collapsed shops, and a few of them also had traces of fire and ice erosion that were obviously left behind by warriors fighting against each other.
“It’s not peaceful in Tongyou City recently!”
Shang Xia, who was riding a red cloud beast at the front of the convoy, suddenly sighed with a hint of sigh.
"Master!"
Shang Xia said "hmm" and turned around to see Yan Qice pulling the reins, causing the red cloud beast under his crotch to speed up and come to him.
Previously in the two realms of war, Yan Qi had been following Shang Xi on business after he advanced to the martial arts realm. Shang Xia had not seen him for a long time.
"Uncle Qi, what's the matter?" Shang Xia asked with a smile.
Yan Qi looked a little solemn at this time and said: "Sir, the fifth master did not follow the convoy!"
Shang Xia was startled, and when he looked back, he found that Shang Ke had left without knowing when.
"The fourth-level warriors are coming and going. Have they returned to their families first?" Shang Xia said with some indifference.
Yan Qi shook her head and said: "Even if the fifth master is leaving, he won't do it so quietly. He should have informed everyone. But look at it now, no one except Miss Xi seems to have noticed that the fifth master has left.
, and Miss Xi seems a little uneasy now, she obviously doesn’t know when the fifth master left!"
Shang Xia looked at Shang Xi, and she happened to look over, and both aunt and nephew seemed to understand what they were thinking in an instant.
However, Shang Xia still looked disapproving and said with a smile: "Why, in broad daylight, is it possible that there are still people in Tongyou City who dare to openly rob the road, and the robbed is our merchants?"
While speaking, Shang Xia glanced in the direction of a carriage not far behind him. A merchant's warrior understood and opened a birdcage covered with black cloth in the carriage, and a black shadow came out of it,
It flew into the air in the blink of an eye.
There was a faint "chirping" sound and disappeared as the birdcage was covered with black cloth again.
"How many third-level warriors are there in the convoy?" Shang Xia asked in a low voice.
Yan Qi said: "There are only Miss Xi and me, Lao Qi. Originally there was another one, but now he takes the place of the Fifth Master to take charge of Tongyou Peak."
Shang Xia sighed: "It's a pity that the thief bird is unwilling to leave the two realms of battle. Otherwise, with that thunderbird here, it can at least defeat most of the third-level warriors!"
As soon as Shang Xia finished speaking, a loud and high-pitched sound suddenly came from above his head.
Shang Xia's expression changed and he shouted: "Stop the car, everyone be on alert!"
After saying that, Shang Xia rode forward, and Yan Qi quickly followed behind him.
Suddenly, there was a man dressed as an old Yan man on the side of the street. He seemed to be a warrior who was standing there to watch the excitement. The moment Shang Xia passed by, he took out a short fork from his sleeve and pierced the abdomen of the red cloud beast.
At the same time, a long rope suddenly flew out of the second-floor window of a restaurant next to the street. A vendor selling chaos across the street suddenly overturned the hot soup pot, picked up the pole next to him and jumped up.
This is a carefully arranged killing situation!
Once the red cloud beast under Shang Xia's crotch was stabbed in the abdomen by a short fork, he could only jump up from the back of the red cloud beast. In this way, a long rope would unexpectedly restrain it from mid-air, while the vendor selling chaos held a
The pole took advantage of the moment when he couldn't move to deliver the final blow!
