August twenty-fourth!
early morning. The sun is rising.
The Xia Family Mansion was already a bustling scene, almost all the children of the family gathered on the Jingwu Square within the family.
This day was the day when the two young disciples of the Xia family who had obtained the places for the assessment of Ziye College went to Ziye City to participate in the assessment. Of course, Xia Yan will also go with her.
From Yushui City to Purple Leaf City, it will take about four days. And going to Purple Leaf City today, just in time to arrive at Purple Leaf City two days before the Ziye College assessment. Then, after two days of rest, he took part in the assessment of the Purple Leaf Academy.
Although it is possible to obtain the quota for this assessment, it is very difficult to really enter the Purple Leaf Academy. Probably, out of ten people, only one person can pass the examination of Ziye Academy in the end.
Among the more than 20 counties under the jurisdiction of Ziye City, each county has 20 to 30 quotas. There are more than 20 counties and cities, and there are about 700 assessment places in total.
Of these seven hundred people, only one tenth could enter the gate of Ziye Academy recently. The rest either transferred to some other colleges or returned to their hometowns.
In some main cities around Ziye City, there are also places for the assessment of Ziye Academy. These main cities do not have first-class colleges in the mainland. Therefore, those outstanding young practitioners had to travel far away from the jurisdiction of their main city to Ziye City.
In the entire Dragon Continent, there are fifty-four main cities like Purple Leaf City. Every main city has the jurisdiction of dozens of counties. However, there are only eight first-class academies and three super academies. Well, although the other main cities also have academies, they have to attend a few less.
In order to get better learning opportunities, some outstanding young cultivators would travel from their original main cities to the main cities with first-class colleges.
For example, Jinyang City, which is adjacent to Purple Leaf City, does not have a first-class academy. Therefore, many young practitioners from Jinyang City will also come to participate in the entrance examination of Ziye College.
Similarly, Jinyang City also has some quotas for the assessment of Ziye Academy, but of course the number of places in Jinyang City will definitely not be as many as that in Ziye City. Purple Leaf City has a total of 700 places, while Jinyang City has a maximum of about 300 places. In addition to Jinyang City, there are three other main cities, each with about 300 places.
All the quotas add up to about two thousand. In the end, Purple Leaf Academy would only enroll two hundred of them into the academy. In three years, only two hundred people were recruited!
After all, resources are limited. If a first-class college like Purple Leaf College wants to maintain its current status, it must choose the best students.
Purple Leaf City is a relatively remote main city, adjacent to the sinful forest, on the northern border of the mainland, unlike some main cities in the central part. If those young practitioners in the main city are not far from the main city where the super academy is located. They will even directly choose the assessment of the super academy.
Super colleges are naturally more difficult to enter than first-class colleges! Except for the genius-level students, they simply cannot obtain the qualifications for the Super Academy assessment. However, its college background and strength are indeed stronger than first-class colleges.
…
"Xiaoqing, be happy!"
When leaving Xia's house, Xiaoqing followed Xia Yan silently, with crystal clear tears hanging on her pretty face.
She really wanted to go to Purple Leaf City with Xia Yan.
"Hehe, it's not like I won't come back. I will come back when I have enough strength." Xia Yan looked around and lowered his voice.
At this time, there are many Xia family disciples in the surrounding area. Xia Zixin and Xia Liu are not far from Xia Yan. There are also three young children of the Liu family, all nearby.
The three children of the Liu family went to Ziye City to participate in the assessment of Ziye College together with the Xia family's children.
"Okay, okay, when I'm stable in Purple Leaf City, I'll buy a yard and take you there too, okay?!" Seeing that Xiaoqing hadn't spoken, Xia Yan could only promise.
Hearing this sentence, Xiaoqing seemed to come back from the trance. Lifting his small head to look at Xia Yan, with pitiful eyes, he said, "Master, you won't lie to Xiaoqing, right?!"
Xia Yan nodded hurriedly: "Of course, within a year, I will definitely pick you up. Besides, Xiaoqing's food is delicious."
Xia Yan said vowedly.
In fact, this is not a difficult task for Xia Yan. Now Xia Yan has more than one million gold coins, and buying an ordinary house only costs tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Well, Xiaoqing is waiting for the young master." Xiaoqing nodded, and finally stopped pulling her face, and her voice became much more cheerful.
The earth dog, of course, followed Xia Yan closely.
"It's really enviable..."
"Master Xia Yan, Miss Xia Zixin, and Master Xia Liu can all go to Ziye City to participate in the Ziye Academy's assessment. Once you enter the Ziye Academy, it will be really..."
"Hey, with our talents, we can only practice martial arts in the Xia family!"
Some of the Xia family's children looked at Xia Yan and the three with envious eyes, and some whispered.
Although Xia Yan's quota has been cancelled, most people think that Xia Yan can enter Ziye Academy! Xia Yan, that's too good.
"Xia Yan, are you ready?!"
When Xia Yan and others were sent to the gate of the mansion by many Xia family children, Xia Feilong and a group of Xia family elders were already waiting there. Seeing Xia Yan and the others coming, Xia Feilong said with a smile.
Xia Feilong knew that Xia Yan had stepped into Xiantian. His attitude towards Xia Yan has changed again. Now Xia Feilong speaks to Xia Yan in an equal tone.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Xia Yan was still respectful.
"Well, when you arrive in Ziye City, take care of Zixin and Xia Liu." Xia Feilong said solemnly. Among the three, Xia Yan is the strongest, and the most mature and stable.
"Patriarch, don't worry, I know!" Xia Yan nodded in response.
"Xia Yan, Xia Zixin, Xia Liu, work hard!"
The elders of the Xia family were all talking excitedly.
"The young masters of the Liu family are also working hard to get into Ziye Academy!" Xia Feilong smiled at Liu Kai and the three of them.
Liu Kai and the other two bowed slightly, "Thank you, Patriarch Xia, and everyone in the Xia family!"
Now Liu Kai's arrogance has subsided a lot, especially in front of Xia Yan, the original arrogance completely disappeared.
After Xia Yan defeated him in the living room, Liu Kai had already started to admire Xia Yan. He knew that Xia Yan's strength was much higher than his. He still kept the broken long sword.
A person who can break this long sword with one finger. The elder said that only a spiritual master can do it. Therefore, Liu Kai has a kind of awe towards Xia Yan from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Kai is not a bad person in nature, but he has developed a sense of superiority since he was a child. In addition, the Liu family is the most powerful in Guangyuan City, and several other families want to make the Liu family three points, which makes Liu Kai's character even more domineering, and no one can stop him. His own talent is indeed very strong.
It wasn't until he came to Xia's house a few days ago to meet Xia Yan, and after discussing with Xia Yan, that he knew what it meant to say that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.
actually. If he didn't meet Xia Yan with his personality and didn't restrain himself, he would definitely suffer a lot in the future. The world is so big, and there are strong people like forests. Only by keeping a low profile and being cautious at all times can we better protect ourselves.
"Xia Yan, you brought this dog too?!" Xia Feilong asked in surprise.
A dirt dog...
The earth dog glared at Xia Feilong and let out a low 'owwow'.
Xia Yan kicked out and pointed to the carriageway: "Go to the carriage!"
With a stride of four hooves, the dirt dog spread his legs and ran over.
Xia Yan smiled and said: "Patriarch, this local dog is very smart and has extraordinary skills."
Xia Feilong chuckled and said, "Okay, just take it!"
He also knew that the earth dog bit off the arms of Nama Sang and Xu Yangshui in Fangshi, it was really ferocious!
Xia Yan put a package on the carriage and came back to say goodbye to Xiaoqing.
The package was naturally the treasure that Xia Yan had obtained during this period of time. More than one million gold tickets, golden horns, Buzzweed, and some medicinal materials obtained in the Misty Valley and auctioned at the auction house.
The total value of Xia Yan's package can exceed two million gold coins!
Even Xia Feilong would be dumbfounded when he saw what was inside! The annual income of the entire Xia family is only one million gold coins. And one of Xia Yan's parcels has two million gold coins...
Six people, divided into two carriages, slowly came out from the east gate.
Xiaoqing, watching the carriage slowly leaving, tears flowed out uncontrollably again, her delicate body trembling slightly.
"Brother Xia Yan, you have to come back early and take me away!" Xiaoqing shouted in her heart.
When they got to the official road, the carriage started to speed up gradually, and under the morning sun, a cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and it gradually drifted away.
"Xia Yan, we have to go this way for four days, and it's the first time I've been so far away from home!" Xia Zixin was a little excited.
When I left the family for the first time, I really felt an indescribable feeling.
Xia Yan smiled. Looking at Xia Zixin and Xia Liu, Xia Liu's face was also filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"It's okay. We will settle down as soon as possible when we arrive in Purple Leaf City. After the assessment is over, we can enter the academy and practice with peace of mind. When we are strong enough, we will return to the family." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Xia Yan, you went to the Sin Forest alone that time, why didn't you worry about being afraid?!" Xia Liu said curiously, he suddenly thought of Xia Yan going to the Sin Forest alone not long ago.
To be honest, the first time he left his family for a long journey was not to go to the dangerous sin forest, he felt uneasy. As for Xia Yan, it was the first time to go to the sinful forest, and it lasted for a week.
Xia Yan turned his gaze, and smiled slightly: "Actually, I was also worried, but the arrow has already been fired, so I have no choice but to move forward."
Hearing what Xia Yan said, Xia Zixin and Liao both nodded. However, they still admire Xia Yan. If they were to go to the sinful forest alone, they really didn't have that kind of courage.
Sin Forest, the most dangerous place in the Dragon Continent. Beasts are everywhere, and there are even some powerful spirit beasts. Even those experienced mercenaries would die inside at any time.
The three young masters of the Liu family in another carriage were also talking about this trip to Ziye City, and at the same time, they also occasionally talked about Xia Yan. The three young people from the Liu family were all curious about Xia Yan's strength. It was a little difficult for them to understand, and they didn't know how Xia Yan cultivated.
