At the entrance of Tiangan Academy, at least more than a hundred people gathered. Ji Dong has been in Tiangan Academy for some time, and this is the first time he has seen such a situation.
As the number one academy in the mainland and a top-level academy jointly created by the five empires, although Tiangan Academy occupies a vast area, the number of students is actually not many. There are no more than a thousand people at all times. It is night time to gather tithes in front of the gate. Obviously something happened.
After Ji Dong walked to the crowd, he heard the students discussing something.
"Yin Yang Academy is better! I must work hard to cultivate, and I still have a chance to achieve two championships before the age of sixteen."
"Hey, you'll be fine. Being young is an advantage. It's useless for me to work hard now. In fact, I was just a little bit close at the time. When I reached the two championships, I was sixteen and just three months old. Unfortunately, Yin and Yang The school’s admission requirements are too strict. I’m so envious of them! There’s even a ballroom party.”
Ballroom dance? Hearing these four words, Ji Dong couldn't help but feel a little confused. So, why is there still a dance
At this time, he heard the person in front say again: "I heard that Yin Yang Academy holds such dances twice a year. But it has a purpose. It seems to be to promote exchanges between male and female disciples of Yin Yang Academy and enhance their relationship. After all, they both They are elites, and the academy very much hopes that the internal pairing of Yinyang Academy disciples can be successful. Moreover, the academy has regulations that if both parents were once Yinyang Academy disciples, their children can directly join Yinyang Academy in the future without any assessment. There is no The limit of power."
"Is this okay? Is this considered a legal pick-up?"
"It's much better than that. Don't talk about Yin Yang Academy, even if we are regular students and junior students, the academy never objects to our men and women dating! If we delay our cultivation because of the relationship between men and women, we will naturally be eliminated during the annual assessment." .”
"I don't know if you have a chance to be selected this time. Brother, I think you have a better chance. You are almost ready for the triple crown. You are also of the right age and good-looking."
"Hey, don't praise me. Let's work hard together. It would be great if the female disciples from the Yin Yang School can see it..."
Listening to the discussion of the students in front, Ji Dong couldn't help nodding his head. He very much agrees with the system of Tiangan Academy. When elites match elites, the possibility of being able to give birth to elites is very high. It turns out that in this world there is also a saying of eugenics and postnatal care. It's really interesting.
Driven by curiosity, Ji Dong squeezed inside. With his strength close to the three crowns, it was nothing to squeeze in. Soon, he came to the inner layer. He saw that there was a notice posted on the stone pillar next to the college gate.
The notice reads: In order to enhance mutual communication, the dance party of Yin Yang Academy will be held in three days. At that time, all disciples of Yin Yang Academy can participate. You can also bring your spouse or dance partner.
The notice is very simple, except for this simple sentence, the time and place are written below. Just three nights later, the venue was the auditorium of the teaching building of the Earth Department.
In addition to this notice, there is another notice posted next to it, and this is the key to attracting the attention of hundreds of people in front of you.
"The selection meeting for junior students and full-time students will be held tomorrow. At that time, all students of this academy can participate. According to the magician's strength, temperament, appearance, etc., ten male and female students will be selected each, and the selected ones can participate in the competition held three days later. Yin Yang School Social Dance Party."
Draft? Isn't this a beauty pageant? No, it's more complicated than a beauty pageant, because it also involves strength.
Ji Dong secretly smiled in his heart, Tiangan Academy is really different. It seems that these activities are just to promote communication among students, but in fact, isn't this also promoting competition among students? I'm afraid such an event is held every year. No matter what the reason is, the students will definitely work harder in cultivation. I don't know how much better this method is than the exam-oriented education under persecution. It is indeed the number one academy in the mainland.
"Ji Dong, why are you here? Brother Fu Rui has been looking for you for a day." A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and then, a slender figure squeezed in front of Ji Dong. The junior students and formal students who were watching the notice stepped aside one after another.
Ji Dong looked up and saw that he was really an acquaintance. It was Ji Yeshang, the Wu-earth magician who was once humiliated by him, and Ji Yeshang, who was ranked tenth in Yin Yang Academy.
Ji Yeshang's expression seemed a little anxious. He strode up to Ji Dong, glanced at the notice, and said with a low smile, "Brother, do you have a dance partner? Would you like me to introduce you to one? If you don't have a dance partner for our school dance If you do, you will be ridiculed."
Ji Dong looked at him speechlessly, and said to himself, I don't seem to know you very well. "Senior Brother Ji, you just said that Senior Brother Fu Rui is looking for me?"
Ji Yeshang hurriedly said: "That's right! Brother Fu Rui looked for you all day today, but he said he didn't see you in the room. Maybe he went shopping."
"I'll go find him right away. Thank you for your notice." After speaking, Ji Dong bid farewell to Ji Yeshang, and hurried towards the teaching building of Wutu Department.
As soon as he left with his front foot, there was a discussion among the students behind him.
"Who was that just now? It looks younger than us, is it also a disciple of Yin Yang Academy?"
"You don't know that. His name is Ji Dong, and it is said that he is a magician of the Bingding double fire department. He is very powerful. On the exchange day a few days ago, he almost defeated the water department by himself and helped the fire department win Champion. The strength has surpassed the two championships, and he can also combine single-body skills. Very powerful."
"Hey, the people in Yin Yang Academy are indeed all monsters..."
Ji Yeshang caught up with Ji Dong in a few steps and walked side by side with him, "Ji Dong, Brother Fu Rui challenged you last time, but he didn't announce the outcome. What happened? Others don't know, but I know it very well. He Must be challenging you to mix the bar."
Ji Dong glanced at him, and said lightly: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
Ji Yeshang smiled awkwardly, and said, "You can't say that, you see, I am a member of the Bartenders Branch of Central Plains City, and Boss Fu Rui is the president of the branch. Of course, I should care about the president's victory or defeat in bartending." gone."
Ji Dong said with some amusement: "Then why don't you ask Brother Fu Rui?"
"This..." Ji Yeshang smiled wryly, "I have to have the guts to do it! Boss Fury's title of Thunder Emperor is not for nothing. I hate people harassing him. I don't want to ask for trouble. I am now I still remember, the last time Boss Fury said that our Wutu type has thick skin and is forbidden to be beaten, and it is good for sandbags."
Seeing Ji Yeshang's pitiful appearance, Ji Dong couldn't help laughing. Although this guy used to be arrogant in front of him, but now it seems that he does have the ability to be arrogant. The longer he enters Tiangan Academy, the more Ji Dong understands the powerful strength contained here. Ji Yeshang was definitely not lucky to be ranked in the top ten of Yin Yang Academy. It can be seen that this guy is close to him because of his ability to mix drinks. Obviously, he also likes wine very much.
"Senior Brother Fu Rui and I are tied." Ji Dong gave the answer with a smile.
Ji Yeshang said thoughtfully: "It's okay, it's okay. However, I'm really surprised that you are only under fifteen years old, how can you have such a superb bartending ability. I heard Vice President Chen Xiao say, When you are bartending, you are not only amazed by the technique, but also the understanding of wine, which is incomparable even for bartenders who have been immersed in it for decades. Otherwise, you will not be able to perfectly control the taste of the wine. "
Ji Dong smiled slightly, "No, what he said is wrong. Bartenders should never try to control the taste of the wine. If they do that, no matter how good they are, it's just a mechanical adjustment. The only way is to control the taste of the wine with your own emotions. Only when you are completely involved in it and let your own emotions in the wine you mix, can you create your own cocktail. If you want to be a good bartender, feel the difference of each wine with your heart. When you really After doing this, bartending is another realm. It is not to make the wine a part of you, but to make yourself a part of the wine. As for the technique, it is just a technique That's all, when your realm is enough, it will naturally come naturally, creating the most suitable technique for you."
Although Ji Dong's words were simple, they spoke of his experience after entering the bartending industry. It is precisely because of his unique way that he took the fewest detours and became a generation of Dionysus in his early thirties. It was because of Ji Yeshang's persistence that Ji Dong said these words. As for whether he could understand it, it was Ji Yeshang's own business.
Ji Yeshang stood there in a daze, and did not follow Ji Dong any further. Ji Dong's words kept echoing in his mind. He was originally a person with a very high level of understanding, otherwise he would not have been able to join the Yin-Yang Academy at the age of 20 ten. At this moment, he has vaguely grasped some essential things about bartending. The expression on his face became extremely wonderful.
Entering the Yin-Yang Academy through the token, he just stepped in and met Fu Rui head-on.
"My little junior brother! Where did you go? I searched for you all day but couldn't find you." Lei Di was relieved when he saw Ji Dong.
Ji Dong laughed and said: "Brother, can I lose such a living person? Didn't we just come back? I went out for a walk. Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Fu Rui put his arms around Ji Dong's shoulders and walked inside, "It's not me looking for you, but the teacher looking for you. This time the teacher is extremely satisfied with you! Not just the first exam, yesterday you contradicted the teacher's wife, the teacher didn't agree I know who I heard. Today, the old man has been excited for a day. He is very proud. He called me to find you, my precious apprentice, early in the morning. He has never called me that before."
Ji Dong smiled bitterly: "It seems that the relationship between the teacher and the teacher's wife is very delicate."
Fu Rui nodded, and leaned into Ji Dong's ear and said, "These old couple have loved and fought for a lifetime. The teacher himself has a stubborn temper, but he has been suppressed by his wife for nearly a hundred years. You contradict him this time. Teacher's wife, it made him proud. Do you think he can be unhappy?"
Fu Rui brought Ji Dong to the fifth floor of the Yin Yang School. Ji Dong himself did not have the authority to come here. As for the deepest sixth floor, Fu Rui could not easily enter it, let alone bring anyone in. He asked Ji Dong to wait a moment, and immediately went to inform Zhu Rong.
Not long after, Fu Rui and Zhu Rong came back together. To Ji Dong's surprise, not only they came, but also Taiyi Yin Zhaorong, who was dressed in a very neat blue palace attire, also came with them. Yin Zhaorong's attire was no different from yesterday's, and he still held the extremely heavy scepter in his hand. It's just that the expression on his face has changed a lot, with a look of unwillingness and even a bit of resentment.
Compared with Yin Zhaorong, Zhu Rong was just the opposite, with his head held high, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was arrogant, and his smug face was like a general who had just won a battle.
Looking at the husband and wife, Ji Dong couldn't help being a little amused, feeling that the teacher and his wife acted like children. But he is also very clear that this does not mean that Zhu Rong and his wife have a bad relationship. On the contrary, they have been together for nearly a hundred years. Who can compare this relationship
"Teacher, teacher's wife." Ji Dong stepped forward to salute.
Zhu Rong laughed, took two steps forward with one arm around Ji Dong's shoulder, and said triumphantly: "Did you hear me, old woman? My precious apprentice calls me Master, and you are Master's wife. You are more than ten years older than me in cultivation. You are indeed a little bit better than me. However, you are far behind in choosing apprentices. No matter how powerful you are, your ability cannot be passed on. It will not take a few years until my two apprentices grow up , Who in the world does not know that they are my disciples of Zhu Rong."
Yin Zhaorong pouted, "Look at your face, you don't even know what it means to be calm after living for a hundred years. Did you teach Xiao Dongdong? He only came to the academy for a few days? I didn't I heard what skills and cultivation methods you gave him. He is his own genius. As for you, a cheap master, didn’t you rush to take him as an apprentice? Don’t put gold on your face .This means that I was not in the academy at the time, otherwise, what's the matter with you? Don't forget, Xiao Dongdong is a Bingding double fire department."
Zhu Rong said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. I haven't had time to teach it yet. This time when he comes back from the first exam, I am going to teach him all my skills. Do you dare to say that my skills are not good? That is my teacher , passed down from your brother."
Yin Zhaorong walked to the other side of Ji Dong, "Damn old man, you will only mislead his disciples by teaching Xiao Dongdong. How many super nirvana skills can you use? How about teaching apprentices? Xiao Dongdong is such a piece of pure gold and uncut jade I'm afraid it will be ruined by you. Little Dongdong, you should take me as your teacher instead. In less than ten years, I will let you catch up with your little Ruirui, how about it?"
Looking at Zhu Rong and his wife, Ji Dong couldn't help being speechless for a while, he really didn't know how to answer. However, the feeling of bickering between Zhu Rong and his wife made him feel a little warm in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking that if one day he could be like Lie Yan, he would die without regret.
