There were still a few days left before the retest began. During these days, Tang Guan had been practicing with Yang Qi. Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and the day of the retest at Hongwu Academy finally arrived.
On the day when the re-examination begins, Yang Qi takes Tang Guan to the venue of the re-examination, which is the headquarters of the Hongwu Academy. The re-examination will be held in public. Not only will there be practitioners from all over the Hongxing Star Region participating in the re-examination, but there will also be a large number of practitioners watching this grand event.
"Senior..."
Outside the Hongwu Academy, Tang Guan looked a little nervous. Although he was very proud of having passed the preliminary selection, when the day of the re-examination came, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After all, whether he could be admitted to the Hongwu Academy was too important to him.
Yang Qi looked at Tang Guan, who looked anxious, and smiled, "Don't worry. With your talent and potential, as long as you can perform normally, it won't be difficult for you to be admitted to the Hongwu Academy."
Tang Guan's appearance reminded him of the time when he first joined the Tianjian Sect. However, with Tang Guan's current talent and potential, it was not difficult for him to join the Hongwu Academy.
Tang Guan nodded, and then walked towards the special passage for practitioners taking the re-examination. Those practitioners who came together had already arrived at the residence. As one of the very few practitioners who came to take the re-examination on their own, Tang Guan immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"He is Tang Guan!"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man's eyes fell on Tang Guan. This man was a high-level Martial Emperor of the Luo family in Hongxing City. He was usually in charge of some of the Luo family's industries in Hongxing City. Since he learned about Tang Guan's affairs, he decided to come in person to inquire about the news.
"It's him!"
The middle-aged man looked around and found Yang Qi who had appeared with Tang Guan before. According to the message from the family, this person should be the cultivator who saved Tang Guan.
Swish~
Just as the middle-aged man was looking at Yang Qi, Yang Qi's gaze suddenly looked towards his position. The middle-aged man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar when Yang Qi's gaze swept over him.
“Martial Emperor realm, definitely Martial Emperor realm!” The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank, and he was extremely frightened.
Upon learning that Tang Guan appeared in Hongxing City, the top leaders of the Luo family knew that the person who helped Tang Guan was at the Martial Emperor level. They just didn't know whether the person who saved Tang Guan was at the Martial Emperor level. Now after seeing Yang Qi, the middle-aged man is certain that Yang Qi is at the Martial Emperor level.
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, "This is troublesome."
The Luo family was very clear about Tang Guan's origins. It was absolutely impossible for him to have any interactions with a Martial Emperor. But now he got help from a Martial Emperor. With his help, it would not be difficult for Tang Guan to enter the Hongwu Academy.
A disciple of the Hongwu Academy might even have the support of a powerful Martial Emperor behind him. Once he grows up, he will definitely be a huge threat to the Luo family.
"We must notify the family immediately and respond as soon as possible." The middle-aged man's face changed and he quickly made a decision. Tang Guan has a great chance to be admitted to the Hongwu Academy. If the Luo family does not respond early and waits until Tang Guan grows up before finding a way to deal with it, it will be too late.
Yang Qi looked at the middle-aged man in the crowd, and a thought flashed through his mind. He thought to himself, "Someone from the Luo family?"
The middle-aged man was so concerned about Tang Guan that he even paid attention to him. Yang Qi couldn't think of any other possibility except the Luo family who had a grudge against Tang Guan. It must be said that the Luo family was very careful. Tang Guan just had the opportunity to join the Hongwu Academy, but the Luo family spared no effort to eradicate Tang Guan and kill the threat in the bud. If Yang Qi hadn't intervened, Tang Guan would have died long ago, and naturally he would not be a threat to the Luo family!
Shaking his head secretly, Yang Qi retracted his gaze. Now that Tang Guan has taken part in the re-examination, it is too late for the Luo family to stop it!
Yang Qi did not linger in front of the Hongwu Academy's headquarters any longer, but came to a nearby restaurant that he had booked long ago, ready to watch the next Hongwu Academy re-examination.
Buzz~
After waiting for about an hour, a huge projection suddenly appeared on the square in front of the Hongwu Academy, and in that projection were densely packed practitioners, who were the practitioners who came to participate in the re-examination. Countless practitioners were divided into two groups, one of which had a much larger number of practitioners than the other, and the smaller group was the martial emperor realm practitioners.
There are three tests in the re-examination of Hongwu Academy. The first one is about talent and potential, the second one is about character, and the third one is about actual combat. This selection method is actually not new, and many big forces also use it to select disciples.
The only difference between it and ordinary cultivation forces is that Hongwu Academy, as a cultivation force established by the royal family of the Hongxing Dynasty, recruits disciples through open selection directly within the territory each time. Therefore, no matter in terms of scale or the number of participants, it is not comparable to ordinary cultivation forces.
The practitioners who took part in the re-examination in the projection began to test their talent potential under the command of the deacon of Hongwu Academy. More than half of the practitioners were eliminated by just the first test.
"Fellow Daoist, do you mind if I sit down?" Just as Yang Qi's eyes were fixed on the projection on the square, a sudden voice came to his ears, and then a figure came in front of Yang Qi.
"Martial Emperor Realm!"
Looking at the person coming, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown. Although the recruitment of disciples by the Hongwu Academy was a major event, this kind of event would only attract practitioners below the Martial Emperor level. People at the Martial Emperor level would generally not pay attention to such matters.
If it weren't for Tang Guan, Yang Qi wouldn't have paid attention to the Hongwu Academy's recruitment of disciples this time. But just as he was paying attention to the re-examination, a Martial Emperor Realm came to him, which was obviously a bit abnormal.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said, "Of course!"
"What do you think of these little guys, fellow Daoist?" the visitor looked at the projection on the square and asked.
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled calmly and said, "These youngsters are all good."
What he said was not an exaggeration. The practitioners who came to participate in the re-examination had all passed the preliminary selection. Even if these practitioners were placed among the ordinary Martial Emperor realm practitioners, they were considered to be extremely good talents.
"Yes, if these little guys grow up, maybe they can give birth to beings like you and me." The visitor nodded, then changed the subject and asked with a little curiosity, "Why don't you accept him as your disciple, fellow Daoist?"
"I was just passing by the Hongxing Dynasty. It happened that his swordsmanship was similar to mine, so I offered my help. As for accepting him as my disciple, forget it." Yang Qi shook his head slightly. He didn't seem to be surprised at all by the visitor's question.
Hearing this, the visitor nodded and immediately asked again, "Do you think he can pass the retest?"
"If you don't interfere, he can pass the test." Yang Qi smiled. (To be continued)
