Hearing this, Jian Chen's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Big brother, is the third-order magic core very precious?" Although Jian Chen knew about the magic core, he was very confused about the price of the magic core.
"Of course, the third-order magic core can be sold for a hundred amethyst coins. I have been here for four years, and I have never used the third-order magic core. At most, I have only used the second-order magic core. It cost me fifty Amethyst Coins to buy it." As soon as he said this, Changyang Tiger's face showed a heartache.
Jian Chen thought for a while in his heart, and soon decided that in tomorrow's freshman competition, he must try his best to get the third-order magic core. Although Jian Chen has not used the third-order magic core, he also knows that he can pass The speed of absorbing the energy in the magic core for cultivation is many times faster than absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. Once he has this third-order magic core, he believes that he will soon be able to reach the tenth level of holy power.
After the day gradually dimmed, Jian Chen led Chang Yanghu to the school cafeteria to eat dinner, and the two separated, each walking towards his dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, Jian Chen closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed just as he was about to start cultivating when a knock on the door came. Hearing the knock on the door, Jian Chen looked in the direction of the door suspiciously, then got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door is a woman of about thirty years old, wearing a long cyan dress. Although her appearance is not quite the country, she is quite beautiful, with long dark green hair casually draped over her shoulders. Gives a sense of floating.
"Is something wrong?" Jian Chen asked, looking at the woman in doubt.
"You are a freshman who just entered Kargath Academy. Tomorrow, the college will hold a freshman competition. All freshmen must participate. Remember not to be absent." The woman looked at Jian Chen indifferently and said coldly.
"Well, I see, is there anything else?" Jian Chen said.
"No!" Leaving those words, the woman turned around and left, walking towards the next room. It seemed that she wanted to notify the other students one by one.
After closing the door, Jian Chen sat down on the bed cross-legged again, and soon entered the state of cultivation.
Early the next morning, Jian Chen finished his training all night, left the room alone, went to the cafeteria according to yesterday's memory, and found an empty table to eat after picking up his breakfast. Since it is still early, there are not many people in the cafeteria, and there are empty seats everywhere.
After having breakfast, Jian Chen walked directly to the playground in the center of the school, where today's freshman competition was held.
Along the way, Jian Chen noticed that many students around him were walking towards the playground at the center of the school. Since the old students were all wearing the school uniform, Jian Chen could tell at a glance that most of them were freshmen. , There are not many old students, maybe some old students are not interested in the freshman competition.
When Jian Chen approached the playground, he could see from a distance five competition platforms with a diameter of 30 meters being built on the playground, and there were already many people around the competition platform.
Jian Chen came to a big tree 100 meters away from the competition arena. When he was still 5 meters away from the big tree, he suddenly rushed forward, and then his feet were connected to the trunk of the big tree. He jumped onto a tree branch five meters high, and sat leisurely on the tree trunk to enjoy the shade. It was still early, and it was not yet time for the competition, so Jian Chen was not in a hurry to run over so early. Condensation is just basking in the sun in vain.
Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was time for the competition. At this time, there were about a thousand students gathered around the competition arena. Except for a small number of old students in school uniforms, the rest were all All are freshmen.
However, Jian Chen could see from the clothes that the freshmen wore, that there are more than nine layers of them were born in civilians, and they were all wearing coarse cloth made of simple fabrics. There are several patches, not only because there are more commoners than nobles in the Gesen Kingdom, but more importantly, most of the children living in poor places can bear hardships and endure hardships. The disciples in the middle of the school have to work harder, so most of the students who can enter the Kargath Academy are civilians.
In addition to these, Jian Chen found that among the freshmen, the youngest were almost all sixteen or seventeen years old, and there were even ten-year-olds. There are not many people with the power of strength, so among the freshmen entering this year, I am afraid that only Jian Chen is the youngest. Despite this, Jian Chen's physical development was far beyond that of ordinary people. Although he was only fifteen years old, he looked more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
Jian Chen jumped down from the five-meter-high tree trunk, landed lightly on the ground, and walked towards the competition stage. When he came to the periphery of the crowd, Jian Chen did not continue to squeeze in, but remained silent. Standing quietly outside, Jian Chen couldn't get interested in the competition between a group of children. .
"Everyone be quiet!"
Suddenly, an unusually loud voice suddenly came, the voice was very loud, and spread throughout the entire playground. Hearing this voice, the students who were talking about suddenly became quiet one by one. In an instant, the entire playground became silent. up.
Then, I saw a middle-aged man in a white strong suit walking onto a competition arena in the center. The middle-aged man was ordinary and unremarkable, but his eyes were bright, as if they were a pair of arms. It's like a magic weapon, so people don't dare to look directly at it.
The middle-aged man looked around for a week, with a kind smile on his face, and said in a kind tone: "Everyone, I'm Bai En, the vice president of Kargas College, and I will personally preside over today's freshman competition, as for the competition. The rules, everyone must have seen it from the bulletin board at the school gate, I will not say more, the prizes of this freshman competition are the same as usual, the first rookie king is still a third-order magic core. Rewards, the second place is a second-order magic core as a reward, and the third place is a first-order magic core reward. In addition to these, all students who can enter the top 50 can get an amethyst coin reward."
When they heard the last reward, all the freshmen dressed in civilian clothes cheered loudly. The daily expenses of a civilian family like them are not large, and they only eat poor food, and a gold coin is almost enough for them. A family of three maintains one month's living expenses, and one amethyst coin is equivalent to one hundred gold coins, which is almost enough for their family of three for nearly ten years. Although the magic core is more precious, they don't dare to expect it at all. After all, there are only three places for the magic core, and there are fifty places for the amethyst coins.
At this moment, almost all the students from poor families couldn't help feeling their blood boil, and they all swore in their hearts that for this Amethyst Coin, they must work hard to enter the top 50.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of these civilian students, some noble disciples showed disdain in their eyes. Although an amethyst coin is a large amount in the eyes of some civilians, among these children living in aristocratic families, it is not worth it at all. It was nothing, and Jian Chen had about fifty amethyst coins on his body.
The freshman competition started soon, and the students themselves drew lots to select them. The stickers were placed in a large tube and covered with a piece of paper, so the number inside could not be seen at all.
There are two large jars in the label, one of which is drawn by students who have reached the eighth floor of the Holy Power, and the other jar is selected by students who have reached the ninth floor of the Holy Power. Some students who have avoided the power of the eighth layer of saints to meet the power of the ninth layer of saints, if this is the case, there is almost no suspense in the outcome.
Although the minimum admission standard of Kargath Academy is the power of the eighth tier, there is no shortage of freshmen who have some talent in cultivation among the freshmen admitted every year, or some noble families cultivated with some heavenly and earthly treasures. Therefore, almost every year, freshmen with holy power reaching the ninth floor are admitted.
The lottery ceremony was going on quickly, and soon it was Jian Chen's turn. Looking at the few sticks in the big jar, Jian Chen randomly selected one, and then took it from a distance to open the seal on it. I saw the words "No. 64 in the No. 3 arena" written on it with relief.
Looking at this number, Ling Tian knew in his heart that his opponent would be the one with the number 136 in the third ring, because the opponent in this competition was based on the numbers on the two signatures. Two hundred figures to calculate.
After getting the ticket, all the mathematicians silently walked to the arena where they were about to compete, and Jian Chen also came to the ring not far from No. 3.
The schedule went very fast, and the first round of the competition took only half a day to complete. Since the opponent was only a child who did not have the slightest martial skills, Jian Chen entered the second round very easily.
After lunch, the freshman competition continued, but this time the number of participants was less than half, and there were about 500 people in total.
The second round is still exactly the same as the first round. It is determined by lottery. Since the number of participants is less than half, the second round is over in only four hours. There are only two hundred and fifty-six people left. According to this number, the following lottery can be carried out smoothly, and there will be no embarrassing incident of one more person.
Immediately after that, the third round of the lottery was held. After the lottery was completed, the competition was held immediately. It finally ended in the evening. At the same time, one hundred and twenty-eight people successfully advanced, including Jian Chen.
After leaving the arena, it was getting dark. Jian Chen touched his stomach, which was already protesting, and shook his head helplessly. In his previous life, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for several days or nights. As long as he didn't eat three meals a day, he would feel hungry, which made Jian Chen feel quite helpless.
Soon Jian Chen came to the cafeteria of the academy. After receiving his things, he found an empty seat in the lobby and sat down and started to eat. Although the food was simple, it could not be compared with Changyang Mansion. Still eating with relish.
Since the Freshman Tournament has just ended, the number of people in the cafeteria is not much less than usual, but it is still very large. Not long after Jianchen sat down, all the seats in the cafeteria were occupied, and there were even many people. I couldn’t find any vacant seats. Although Jian Chen sat alone at a table, no one dared to sit with Jian Chen, because all of them were children from commoner families, who would dare to sit with Jian Chen? Wearing luxurious clothes, it looks like the children of the nobles who were born extraordinary are sitting together.
