"Qu Huan, male, seventeen years old, selected by Zhongtian Mansion. Jiazi grade, three years in the camp, one commendation, no punishment record. Oh, he is the same age as me, a native of Zhongtian Mansion."
In a separate room, Tang Zhao was looking through dozens of student information.
"Middle grade results: Liberal arts, upper middle. Arithmetic, upper middle. Military arts, upper middle. Information, upper. Riding and archery, medicine, upper middle. Martial arts, sword training. , first. The external strength goes up, the second. The internal strength goes up, the second. Either the first or the second. Awesome, awesome."
"Senior grade: Introductory to Guan Shen, introductory Gang Qi..." Tang Zhao thought thoughtfully, "It seems that the training camp does not have high requirements for Guan Shen and Gang Qi. There is no upper, middle or lower level. It is only divided into beginners and uninitiated. The first few people That's the case too. It's also true that a total of three years of training is not enough to cultivate internal and external skills, so why force me to study the gods and mystical skills?"
Xuan Gong is a course for senior students, it is just called "Xuan Gong Basics".
It can even be said that the reason why XuanGong and GuanShen courses are set up is not to allow students to develop some Qi or spiritual power, but more to confirm whether the students have this qualification.
It is not to confirm whether you can practice Xuan Gong, but to confirm whether your inspiration will increase after practicing Xuan Gong.
Tang Zhao put Qu Huan's dizzying report card aside and continued to read the information.
"Inspiration test, recorded on August 1, Bingyin year, nine inches and two minutes. It was recorded one month ago."
This inspirational unit…
Why not Duan?
"Inspiration, Section 7."
How does this feel?
Inspiration is the only achievement with a specific value. The other courses are just divided into nine grades, upper, middle and lower, plus rankings. After all, most of the training camp exams are practical, with few papers and mostly policy and analysis questions. It is difficult to get accurate paper scores except for arithmetic.
In addition to internal strength, martial arts only depends on winning or losing, and does not look at indicators. Even if you are dozens of pounds stronger than others, if you lose in the competition, you lose.
It is only in recent years that inspiration can be quantified, and there is no unified standard that is universally accepted in the world. The training camp has customized new teaching aids and instruments. Similar to a paper roll several feet long, inspiration can make ink appear on it. The further you go, the harder it becomes. Finally, measure the length of the ink mark. One foot is the minimum standard for becoming a swordsman.
Nine inches and two points is very close to the swordsman line. This is the result a month ago. Inspiration is tested every three months, and there are still two final months, and the final test is during the final exam.
If you continue to practice Xuan Gong hard in the remaining two months, you should be able to reach the standard, right?
Although there is hope for Qu Huan to reach the standard, he is only just above the line and is just average in the camp. Compared with other outstanding students, Qu Huan's inspiration is by no means high, it can only be said to be just average.
After all, there are still too few geniuses with the level of innate inspiration, and the mortality rate is very high - if the inspiration is too high, it is easy to be harmed by dirty things like the Phantom, and many of them die inexplicably.
If the training camp only searches for young people with obvious inspiration, even if Gao Yuanhou has a state, he will not be able to collect a hundred children every year. Most of the 100 young people in each session are young people with good potential recommended by various counties, counties and towns.
Some of these young men have extraordinary talents and outstanding inspiration, while others are talented in both civil and military skills but have mediocre inspiration. It doesn't matter, after practicing Xuan Gong, everything will be fine.
Xuan Gong can increase inspiration. This discovery is the key to the emergence of swordsmen in large numbers today and surpassing the ancient times. The better the Xuan Gong is, the more consistent it is with the individual's physique, and the more inspiration will be gained. It can even raise a child with no inspiration to the standard of a swordsman in a few years - if his Xuan Gong aptitude is good enough.
The Xuan Gong in the training camp is quite good, and there are several types for the teenagers to choose according to their personal needs. After practicing, more than 10% of people can grow to the bottom line of inspiration required by swordsmen before graduation. There are also 30% of people who practice on their own after leaving the training camp and can reach the standard before the age of thirty. These can be broadly classified as swordsman seeds.
The cruel thing is that even with such excellent conditions, 60% of teenagers will still be stuck. It’s not because I don’t work hard, it’s because I don’t have enough natural talent.
This is where God is unfair.
Just like when Tang Zhao saw some people’s files before, many of them had poor grades.
Huan, but as early as a year or two ago, the inspiration was more than one foot. For example, Ouyang Zhou, who had similar grades to him, stopped taking the test after getting a perfect score a year ago. You even have to spend your own money for retesting. They may not have put as much effort into practicing Xuan Kung as Qu Huan, but with such talent, they are worse than him.
And if it's Tang Zhao, he doesn't even use teaching aids to measure. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell he has talent at a glance. He wants to measure it. The length of the ink mark is only related to the length limit of the paper roll.
But then again, God is not fair elsewhere either. Like Qu Huan, he can say that he is good at both civil and military skills, but his inspiration training is not smooth, and now he can only meet the standard, which may hinder his future as a swordsman, and God is unfair to him. But his excellent civil and military talents and superior family background are not the envy of many people. God is pleased with him enough.
Not to mention the hungry and cold children outside, even in the training camp, in the files Tang Zhao just read, there were people who were even more miserable than him.
The last few pages of the material are orientation tests. It was the one Tang Zhao planned to use the back door to let Wei Se test him.
To this day, there is still no accepted testing method for inspirational directions. There are so many different directions that it is difficult to summarize them accurately, and any method has its shortcomings. Therefore, well-established sects will use various methods to test several times and make a comprehensive judgment. The training camp offers at least four methods.
The roughest method is the four-level test of "earth, water, fire and wind". To be more detailed, there are twelve choices of heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountain, swamp, growth, death, and death... Yes, it is the Four Seasons Bagua, the configuration of the twelve pillar kingdoms of turtles and bandits. This is also the most widely spread testing method.
Another more accurate method is the symbol matching method, which uses various basic symbol patterns to filter. There are more than a hundred choices. As long as it is matched, the range can be accurately delineated. The disadvantage is that it is too precise and there are not enough blurred areas in the middle, so many people are left out and cannot be selected.
The last method is a method that only Yunzhou has.
Tang Zhao picked up the last few pages, which contained similar contents.
Graffiti.
The blank sheets of paper are filled with strange lines drawn with charcoal. One or two of them can be vaguely imagined as some kind of scenery, but most of them are completely meaningless strokes, randomly crisscrossed and stacked on top of each other. Even a naughty child would find it difficult to draw. Such a meaningless pattern appears.
Tang Zhao stared at these papers, thoughtfully.
At this moment, the door to the room opened, and two young men came in, it was Wei Se and Pei Renfeng. Pei Renfeng was somewhat tired, but Wei Se looked calm.
Tang Zhao raised his head and smiled: "Come out? Sit down. How do you feel?"
Wei Se handed a few pieces of paper to Tang Zhao.
Just now, he went to test the direction of his inspiration. Pei Renfeng often helps people test their inspirations and knows how to use various magic tools, so he was entrusted by Tang Zhao to help him test them one by one.
Wei Se's inspiration is no problem, otherwise he wouldn't pursue becoming a swordsman. He has received much harsher training than in the training camp since he was a child. If he can survive and occupy a place, it is natural that he has the talent and cultivation level. Previously at Zhuoyu Villa, Tang Zhao also used the Talisman Swordsman's method, that is, the Talisman Matching Method, to measure his direction. The base Talisman selected at the time was "Inside". Now change the method and measure it a few more times for accuracy.
"Wind..."
The four-layer test method measures wind, which is the level closest to "emptiness". It is elusive and a relatively rare type. In all directions, there is "silence", which represents the withering loneliness of autumn.
Pei Renfeng was very surprised when he was next to him, and thought to himself: This assistant teacher Wei is quite cheerful and talkative, but why are all the directions detected as sinister? Yes, the direction of inspiration has nothing to do with temperament. Who says that cheerful people cannot have the direction of annihilation? I think more.
Little did he know that even though he was smart, he was still a rich young man. The city government and the dangerous color were completely different, and he didn't even see through the dangerous color.
Tang Zhao only glanced at the other answers and then looked at the last graffiti.
Wei Se's graffiti is very simple, just a few intertwined lines, which looks much more refreshing than other graffiti that would cover a whole piece of paper.
Tang Zhao pondered: "What was it like when you tested this?"
Wei Se said: "I just entered a house with four white walls. There was only one table with paper and pens on it. I sat on the table. There was an ornament in front of it, like a gem.
A bead looks like an eye. "
Tang Zhao thought to himself, this is the magic weapon of Marquis Gao Yuan. This kind of test was originally developed by Gao Yuanhou.
"Then I stared at that eye and looked at it. Gradually I entered a mysterious state. It seemed that my mind was particularly clear, but I couldn't think of anything. Then a voice asked me: 'What are you thinking about?' Write it out." I couldn't help but follow his instructions and write whatever came to my mind. I thought I had written a lot of words, but when I woke up I saw that the paper was covered with graffiti. I also can’t remember what I wanted to write. "
Tang Zhao nodded while listening. He remembered that Gao Yuanhou recorded the idea of developing this testing method-trying to simulate the state of a swordsman when he masters the sword.
Tang Zhao took the sword himself and remembered that his thoughts were clear at that time, but a lot of his memory and common sense faded away, as if only a single soul was left floating there. Gao Yuanhou's imitation was very successful, but there was one section where he could retain a clear memory after he learned the sword on his own, and even often recalled it. But this test doesn't seem to work. Once you wake up, your memory fades like a dream, and it's difficult for the people in the test to write down their thoughts clearly.
Because enlightenment is a "natural" state. At this time, people have ideas but no "knowledge." Writing is also a kind of knowledge. It is a process in which people record their thoughts with specific symbols. People's thoughts and emotions do not follow words. Without the medium of words, the direct output of thoughts is more difficult to receive than telecommunications signals.
Wei Se said: "Can you know what I was thinking at that time?"
Pei Renfeng, who was standing next to him, said: "Don't be difficult to teach. It's not what I said... This method is said to be unique and advanced, but in fact it is a bit too advanced and is useless. It can only be used as a record and reference. This cannot be interpreted by humans. It is better to go there In the Taoist temple, please ask an experienced Taoist who knows how to support the Qi to come and take a look."
Tang Zhao was also happy and said: "It's really difficult to understand. But yours is a little clearer. It should be...chaotic."
