Postscript 004 Suzaku Gate
The steps are very long. If you want to climb up, it will take at least a day and a night with ordinary people's foot strength. But Li Fan and Murong Ying moved very quickly, and even those scholars from White Deer Academy seemed to have some abilities. They took out some charms and stuck them on their legs. Then their steps became lighter and they walked up the stairs confidently.
At the very top is the entrance to Suzaku Academy. Once there, these students can enter the life of cultivation they dream of.
"Are these convenient?"
Murong Ying asked very smartly.
"Of course, these armor and horse charms are very effective."
Duan Chun nodded, then looked at Murong Ying's fair calves, "Where is Miss Murong's armor attached?"
"Family-inherited breathing techniques can strengthen the body. These steps are nothing."
Murong Ying said casually.
"I actually learned some good breathing techniques. It seems that the Murong family is well-deserved."
Duan Chun was a little envious. It seemed that it was not easy for people other than cultivators to get some breathing skills.
In the spiritual world, it is only the primary world of cultivators. Here, any cultivation method is very precious. According to classification, the cultivation techniques here are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Huang is the lowest level skill, but it is also very rare for humans.
"Our Duan family has a yellow-level Kung Fu book, but unfortunately, I am not qualified enough to learn it."
Duan Chun seemed to be showing off, "However, when we get to Suzaku Academy, we can learn more yellow-level skills. Maybe we can also learn upper-level yellow-level immortal skills!"
"I heard that Suzaku Academy has even more powerful Xuan-level magic!"
Huang Ying thought for a while and said, "It would be better if I could learn."
"Are you talking about the Suzaku Code?"
Duan Chun had obviously heard of this Xuan-level technique, but he shook his head.
"Don't dream, that is the treasure of Zhuque Academy! I heard that only one student can learn this technique every four years. In other words, you have to become a Class A disciple of the academy within four years. That’s it!”
"Suzaku Code"
Li Fan and Murong Ying began to communicate.
"It seems that by following them, I really got a lot of useful information."
"Yeah, it seems interesting."
Li Fan was looking forward to it, "I would like to see how powerful these cultivators are."
Li Fan continued to follow these people and walked up the steps.
The steps are long, but they have an end. The group of them walked for about an hour and finally arrived at the gate of Suzaku Academy. The gate is more than ten meters high, painted in vermilion, with the image of a Suzaku carved on it. But there are still long steps behind the gate, leading all the way to the Suzaku Fire Cloud above! On both sides of the gate, stood two men wearing red robes. These two men were handsome and had an unusual aura about them.
"They are the guards of Suzaku Academy."
Duan Chun took a step forward and raised his hands to the two of them, "We are students here to take the exam. Please let the two guards go."
"Suzaku Academy is one of the four major academies in the spiritual world."
The guard on the left said slowly, "Although we do not reject foreign learners, only the true elite can pass here."
"This is the door to the academy. Those who want to pass must push the door open and enter by themselves."
The guard on the right said, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the ten-meter-high giant door. He took a deep breath, then his arms became much thicker and he pushed hard on the door.
boom!
The door was slowly pushed open, and a lot of dust fell around.
"Wow… "
Some students started talking, "How heavy is this door?"
"At least a few thousand pounds, right?"
"It looks like it's hard to push!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, the guard on the left spoke again.
"These two Suzaku Doors each weigh ten thousand kilograms. If you can't push the door open and enter, it means you have no chance of joining Suzaku Academy."
As he spoke, the guard on the right released his handle little by little, and the door closed again with a bang.
"Okay, who of you comes first? Everyone has two chances. If you can't push it away, please come back."
"In that case, I'll go first!"
A strong boy came over. He rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, pressed against the door, and then pushed hard!
"Drink!"
The boy roared angrily, his face turned red and his neck became thick, as if he had to exert all his strength to suck milk!
He is very strong, but how can a door weighing 10,000 kilograms be moved at will? He was almost exhausted, but the door wouldn't budge.
Finally, he panted and sat down on the ground, his face looking so ugly.
"It seems that the second chance will not be used."
The guard on the left pointed down, "Please go back."
“…”
The boy walked down the steps helplessly with a sad face.
A loser makes everyone feel depressed.
No one likes to fail, not to mention that if you fail, you will leave here in despair. They came all the way from White Deer Academy, not just to go home like this! If they go back, they will definitely be laughed at by the people in the academy, and they will also lose the only opportunity to become immortals!
For many people, entering the academy is the only chance to cultivate immortality. What does it mean to cultivate immortality? Not only strength and longevity, but also status and rights!
"You are a low-class person after all, so useless."
Duan Chun sighed, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "How can you pass the test of the Suzaku Sect if you don't even have the qualifications of a noble family?"
"Young master, do you want to try it?"
The guard on the left looked at Duan Chun.
"sure."
Duan Chun laughed, closed the folding fan, "Let's try it."
As he spoke, he stuffed the folding fan into the gold bag at his waist and walked to Suzaku's door. He took out two charms from his sleeves and placed them on his hands.
Duan Chun slowly pushed the Suzaku Gate, and the heavy Suzaku Gate shook slightly.
Duan Chun was not relaxed either. He exerted all his strength and there were veins on his forehead. But the door was slowly pushed open, about half a meter away.
"Passed."
The guard on the right caught the door, "Go through."
"I knew it."
Duan Chun opened the folding fan again and said with a smile.
"I'll be waiting for you behind the door."
There are indeed not many people who can pass through this door. After Duan Chun, many people came forward to try, but they all failed.
"Only the true elite can pass the Suzaku Gate."
The guard on the left looked at the few remaining people. There were twenty or thirty people when they came, but now there are only four people left. Duan Chun stood behind the door, waiting leisurely for the next person to pass.
Maybe, no one can get through it except yourself. Alas, what a pity for that young lady from the Murong family.
