There are two major events in the outer court every year, one is the entrance examination for new students, and the other is the assessment for entering the inner court.
But those who can enter Tiancong Academy are all the pride of heaven, who will care about your freshman
Therefore, the annual inner court assessment is the top priority of the outer court and the focus of everyone's attention.
There are still five days before the assessment. In front of the Academic Affairs Office in charge of the assessment, a large number of students gathered in groups of three or four, discussing something, all with nervous faces, staring at the side of the square, a dozen or so The giant screen is ten feet long and wide.
The huge screen was condensed by an array of light, half-suspended in the air, and there was an energy-providing array below it, inlaid with dozens of spirit stones.
The formations are complex, and the spiritual energy of the spirit stone circulates along several formations, producing a large amount of light to maintain the existence of the giant screen.
Ten feet away from the formation, draw a striking red line, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
A large number of names appeared on the giant screen, densely packed, all of them were students applying for the inner courtyard.
There are thousands, and new names are constantly being added.
All the students are outside the red line, looking at the changes of those names, looking for a team that suits them.
Above the square, thousands of feet above the ground, there was a strong wind howling, but the clouds could not be blown away.
In the floating light of the white clouds, the three old men stood against the sky, their skirts fluttering, and they all looked like immortals.
One of them has white beard and hair and a thin body. He is the dean of the academy, Qing Buli. At this moment, his face is rosy and his expression is shining, as if his injuries have healed.
But the two elders beside him knew that at their level, most of the time they kept their breath introverted. The more radiant his face is, the more it means that there is something wrong in his body, which proves that Qing Buli is circulating his true energy all the time, regulating his breath and internal injuries.
On the left is an old man with white hair like a waterfall, holding a harp in his hands, and looks calm. It is the elder Wu Haokong who showed up in the small courtyard of Shenyin Mountain that day.
The other person also has gray hair on the temples and a face like bronze, looks very serious, it is Yin Kun who is also one of the seven elders of Tian Cong.
Qing Buli stared down, and said: "The quality of the students this time is very high. At a glance, there are still three middle-stage Lingwu students. It seems that the competition will be fierce." A batch of students are very satisfied.
Yin Kun is the elder in charge of the Academic Affairs Office. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the middle stage of Lingwu, there are far more than these three. There are still many people who are in retreat, waiting for the last day to come out. For example, Zhao Sihan, who was born last year. Reached the middle stage of Lingwu!"
Qing Buli frowned, with a look of regret, and said: "I don't know if he has stepped into the late stage of Lingwu, what a pity. If he hadn't been so stubborn, he could have directly entered the inner court last year, and I am afraid that he has already entered the Lingwu stage. People from the late Wu period."
Wu Hao said with a smile: "The dean is too worried. Even if he stays in the outer courtyard, Elder Yin Kun will cultivate him a lot."
Yin Kun twisted his beard and smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, I originally wanted to accept him as a personal biography last year. It's a pity that he refused to participate in the inner court assessment because of his own obsession. Call him. Seven days ago, he had entered the late stage of Lingwu. In the past few days-I let him stabilize his realm in the dormitory."
Qing was overjoyed, and said: "Late stage of Lingwu? Haha, good, good! Next year, there will be another strong person on the Qianlong list. It is rare to participate in the inner court assessment with the cultivation base of late Lingwu. "
Generally, if one reaches the mid-stage of Lingwu, one can basically pass the assessment. A large number of students passed the examination in the early days of Lingwu and entered the inner court.
Qing Buli said: "Last year Zhao Sihan challenged Wu Qiyue, and was defeated by one of his moves. He endured the humiliation with hatred, and finally achieved a good result. This year's first place in the assessment should be sure."
Yin Kun smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If the outcome is determined by individual results, Zhao Sihan is naturally well-deserved number one. This is a team battle. Don't forget that Princess Su Ying is also among them."
"Haha, I forgot about that."
Qing Buli said with a smile: "This little girl is actually quite talented, but the princess's name and beauty cover up the brilliance of her talent."
Yin Kun seemed to know something, nodded, and sighed: "If you lose to the princess team, it's nothing. Even if you get second, you are still the first in everyone's hearts. It's just a little regretful. Last year was I withdrew from the exam because I couldn’t get the first place, and I’m afraid I’m going to get second again this year.”
Qing Buli said indifferently: "These are just false names, the real strong will be on the Qianlong list on the battlefield."
"What the dean said is very true."
Yin Kun cupped his fists and bowed respectfully. He suddenly thought of something again, and said: "By the way, Yang Qingxuan, the grandson of Yang Zhao, will also participate in the inner court assessment this time."
"oh?"
Qing Buli frowned, and said: "I heard King Jin say a thing or two about this matter, it seems that his remnant soul has recovered, it is indeed a miracle. I have personally diagnosed Yang Qingxuan, and his soul is so crippled, I think It is almost impossible to recover, how did Yang Zhao do it?"
Yin Kun said: "That old man is extremely mysterious, but no matter how you observe him, he looks like an ordinary bad old man who doesn't know martial arts."
Qing Buli said: "There are many strange people in the world, we must not be arrogant. I am afraid that Yang Zhao is also a person with secrets, as long as he does not pose a threat to us, he should not be bothered. Now that Yang Qingxuan has recovered, I also want to see him in the assessment What about the performance in the middle school. There are a lot of talents in this inner court assessment, and the whole matter has to be labored by two people."
Yin Kun and Wu Hao bowed at the same time and said in unison: "Yes."
Qing Buli waved his hand and left, leaving Yin Kun and Wu Hao in the sky.
Both Yin Kun and Wu Hao know that although the inner court assessment is important, the dean has not paid attention to it. The center of gravity of the entire academy, or the real battlefield, is only the Qianlong list!
Yin Kun said softly: "Master Dean seems to be seriously injured?"
Wu Hao sighed, and said: "In fact, the most serious injury is not the body, but the confidence. These two inexplicable injuries were both at the critical juncture of practicing Yaoyue Yizhi, which dealt a great blow to his confidence. If he can't get out of the shadows, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
Wu Hao said again: "How many people does Elder Yin Kun want to recruit for this inner court assessment?"
Yin Kun pondered for a while, and said: "Since the dean said that there are many talents, the scope should be larger, and three hundred people will be taken."
Wu Hao hugged the harp, nodded, and said, "Okay, then three hundred people."
Yin Kun said: "It's time to work."
The two bowed to each other in the sky, and they turned into two streamers of light, which dispersed separately.
Thousands of students in the square did not know that just now, the number of admissions that determined their fate was finalized above their heads.
