From Tianshu Square Market, all the way along, stepping onto Mingyuan Road, and then heading towards Zhaxing Academy within Zhaxing Mountains.
The sun is already high in the sky.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Gu Hua, who was driving the carriage, said with a smile: “We’re almost there.”
Before reaching the gate of Zhaxing Academy, from a certain distance, it can be seen that in front of them, there are peaks of different heights standing in rows, and between the peaks. there are traces of lofts and high towers appearing vaguely.
When they were almost at the mountain gate of Zhaxing Academy, the carriage slowly stopped.
“Goodness me!”
Pulling open the carriage curtain and looking outside, Pei Yuanze immediately waved his hand and said: “Stop, stop.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s too embarrassing!”
Pei Yuanze couldn’t help but say: “Look at this.”
Ye Wu Shuang also stunned when he looked out of the carriage window.
The carriage driven by Gu Hua was also okay in terms of decoration, and the horse was also a spirit horse. It wouldn’t seem crowded even if six or seven people sat in it.
However, at this moment, in the square outside the main gate of Zhaxing Academy, there were all kinds of carriages and palanquins parked, and spirit beast mounts, all neatly arranged. of various styles. There were even some spirit boats landed.
All of them were luxurious and magnificent, astonishingly spectacular.
Compared with those tools, the carriage was simply shabby!
Pei Yuan Ze immediately said, “This carriage is too shabby. Let’s just walk over. Old Gu, you find a place to park and then come find us!”
”Ai, okay.”
Ye Wu Shuang, Pei Yuan Ze, and Qi Ying Xue got out of the carriage together and walked towards the gate of the academy.
The closer they got to the gate, the more crowded the crowd became.
Pei Yuan Ze couldn’t help but say, “Damn it, aren’t the enrollment conditions of Zhai Xing Academy that the bone age is under a hundred years old and the realm is above Zhai Xing Hua Jing? Enrollment is once a year. Are there so many monsters who meet the conditions inside and outside Xuan Yuan Domain?”
Qi Ying Xue heard Pei Yuan Ze’s words and explained, “There are indeed not many who meet the conditions. There are probably only forty or fifty people at a time, and those who pass the assessment and enter the academy are probably only three or four a year, and at most seven or eight if you’re lucky.”
”The reason there are so many people is, firstly, there are more accompanying relatives, and secondly… some people are not reconciled. They don’t meet the conditions and cheat in various ways, wanting to give it a try in the chaos…”
These words were explained to Pei Yuan Ze.
Qi Ying Xue respected Pei Yuan Ze very much. After all, he was the father of her master. As for Ye Wu Shuang… she mostly ignored Ye Wu Shuang.
The gate of Zhai Xing Academy is a tall memorial archway.
There are a total of nine memorial archways, getting taller in sequence.
The words written on each memorial archway are different. At this time, people are coming and going. Only by passing through the memorial archway can one truly reach the inside of the Star-Picking Academy.
In front is a huge square. In the square, one white marble stone pillar after another rises from the ground, engraved with dragons and phoenixes, looking very mighty.
And at this time, in the square, it is already crowded with people.
Roughly estimated, there are at least tens of thousands of people.
And among these people, there are old and young, and it is very lively.
The vast majority of them are escorts, not the ones participating in the assessment.
Soon, on the inner side of the martial arts field, on a bluestone avenue, figures in the costumes of the disciples of the Star-Picking Academy appeared one after another.
The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, walking with his hands behind his back, with a tall figure, looking very approachable.
Everyone, be quiet!
Just at this time, the middle-aged man spoke, and his voice was loud and spread throughout the entire square.
In the square, the noise gradually disappeared.
The Star-Picking Academy is recognized as the number one hegemon in the Xuanyuan Domain. Even if the other several hegemons join forces, they may not necessarily be able to defeat the Star-Picking Academy.
You know, in the other major hegemonic forces, there is only one saint on the surface, who is the suzerain or the patriarch of each hegemon.
And in the Star-Picking Academy, there are five saints on the surface.
The dean and the four vice-deans are all saints!
Just this point is very terrifying.
Moreover, the Star-Picking Academy is to train warriors from all sides. Those disciples who have completed their studies and reached the Great Saint Realm, Lesser Saint Realm, and Void Saint Realm. Some stay in the academy to hold positions, and even if the other part is scattered all over the Xuanyuan Region, they are still people of the Star-Picking Academy. Once the Star-Picking Academy has trouble, with just one order, I don’t know how many people will gather.
Even without adding those warriors who have left the academy, just the warriors of all levels within the academy are a very terrifying combat power.
Considering all these, none of the major hegemons is an opponent of the Star-Picking Academy.
The crowd in the square gradually quieted down.
The middle-aged man said with a smile, “My name is Gu Qingyan, and I am a core elder of the Star-Picking Academy. I am here to welcome all of you to the Star-Picking Academy.”
Core elder!
The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim.
To be able to hold the position of the core elder of the Star-Picking Academy, at least one must be in the Great Saint Realm!
In the Xuanyuan Region, saints are the rarest. So generally speaking, when a Great Saint appears, it will attract the attention of many people.
Gu Qingyan continued, “I think everyone knows the conditions for my Star-Picking Academy to recruit disciples once a year!”
”First of all, only disciples who meet the two major conditions can accept the three-level assessment!”
As Gu Qingyan spoke, several academy disciples behind him carried out two things.
One is an erected jade plate. The diameter of the jade plate is about half a zhang, and its surface is smooth, exuding a faint jade luster.
The other is a bell, which is more than one person tall, and its surface is swirling with dark red patterns.
Gu Qing Yan then said, “The Bone Testing Plate and the Realm Testing Bell!”
”As the names suggest, these two things are used to test the real bone age of the examiners and the realm of the examiners respectively.”
Warriors have a long lifespan.
Like those in the Star Picking Transformation Realm with a lifespan of 8,000 years, the warriors who may reach this level are actually 2,000 years old, but they look only about 20 years old.
The Bone Testing Plate measures the real bone age. No matter how old you look on the outside, it can tell how many years you have really lived with just one test.
“Now, the disciples who are going to participate in the assessment, please receive the number plates and then start the test one by one!”
“The disciples who pass these two tests can really participate in the three-level assessment of the academy. Those who fail, please leave.”
With Gu Qing Yan’s words falling, figures immediately stepped forward to receive the number plates.
Ye Wu Shuang greeted Pei Yuan Ze, Gu Hua, and Qi Ying Xue, and also stepped forward.
There were more than a thousand people who stepped forward to receive the number plates and then queued up to start the test one by one in front of the Bone Testing Plate and the Realm Testing Bell.
“Number One, bone age 1,200 years old, unqualified!”
When the first person’s bone age was measured, the people around immediately burst into laughter.
“Over a thousand years old and still trying to fish in troubled waters? Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Hahaha… There are always people who try to fish in troubled waters every year. Don’t they feel embarrassed?”
“What if it succeeds and can enter the Star-Picking Academy? It’s a great thing…”
Soon, everyone chatted cheerfully one by one.
The test continued.
However, after more than a hundred people, still no one passed the bone age test stage.
Many people just wanted to fish in troubled waters and take a chance, but the bone age testing plate wouldn’t lie.
Using the bone age test, the Star-Picking Academy has been using it for thousands of years and has never failed.
“Number 155, bone age 30!”
“Number 155, realm, early stage of the Void Soul Saint Realm!”
With this voice ringing out, the square was quiet for a while, but then a thunderous sound of discussion resounded…”
