After hearing Ye Yu's answer, I didn't know whether it was because of the loneliness on the road or because this young man was very talkative. Explained directly.
"The martial arts academy recruits students every year, but it has strict standards. Although as long as you can become a martial artist before the age of sixteen, you can sign up for the assessment, but in order to select the elite, a three-fold test will be set up. The first test is to test willpower. There will be college instructors who will release pressure in a specific room until half of the people are eliminated."
"The second test tests one's own realm. You need to walk through the ninety-nine steps of the Martial Emperor's Ladder to be considered successful. Generally speaking, as long as the cultivation level is at the peak of the warrior, or the body is relatively strong, you can pass it."
"And this third test tests comprehensive strength. There is no fixed method. It will be different every year. There are battles in the ring, battles with mentors, and the most terrifying ones are battles with wild beasts and spiritual beasts. Until Until a hundred people are recruited.”
"Of course there is a way to reduce the difficulty of the assessment, or even directly join the martial arts academy, but this method is not something ordinary people can do. The martial arts academy is located in Emperor Wu City, and the direct control of the city is taken away, and it is not subject to the Holy Dragon Dynasty. Control, so in order to make up for the Holy Dragon Dynasty, the academy issued three tokens of gold, silver, and bronze, corresponding to the number of tests that can be exempted. Only the Holy Dragon Dynasty has this benefit."
"Those who hold bronze medals do not need to participate in the first test and can directly enter the second test. Those who hold silver medals do not need to participate in the first two tests, and so on. Among them, gold medal holders are completely exempted from the test and can directly enter the martial arts academy. Students will even receive key training." The young man swallowed his saliva as he said this, with a longing look on his face, and his eyes were full of little stars.
"But the gold token is difficult to obtain. Unless you make a huge contribution to the martial arts academy, it is possible to obtain it. The entire Shenglong Dynasty only has two sides, and they are in the hands of the royal family. Even if the other people are powerful, they can have a silver token. That’s good, but the number of tokens is also limited, and it’s impossible to issue unlimited tokens, otherwise the quality of students will decrease.”
"Every ten years, one hundred silver tokens and one thousand bronze tokens will be issued to those city lords or managers of the magic and martial arts alliance who have titles in the Holy Dragon Dynasty." When saying this, the original vision The appearance disappeared, the starry eyes dimmed, and a sigh came out. You can imagine how much the young man wanted to have the golden token.
After listening to what the young man said, Ye Yu quickly digested the useful information and thanked: "Thank you for sharing this information with me. I have listened to you for so long and I still don't know your name. My name is Ye Yu and I come from Kaoshan City. A nearby town.”
This innocent young man made Ye Yu want to make friends. People who are not scheming always make people like him. Plus, they are similar in age, so they will have more topics in common.
After Ye Yu reported his family name, the young man said happily: "My name is Bai Zimo, I come from Qinwang City of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
After Bai Zimo told where he came from, everyone in the carriage showed shocked expressions as they looked at him and the old man, spanning a dynasty. What a long distance it was, not to mention that he came from the royal city, and he had the level of a Martial Emperor. A city where the strong sit.
Realizing that everyone's eyes were on them, the old man sighed helplessly and thought: "The young master is so naive and doesn't know how to guard against others. Sooner or later he will suffer."
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little strange during the rest of the journey. Except for the two teenagers who were joking, everyone else was silent, as if they didn't dare to speak, and even kept a certain distance from them.
More than ten days passed. Ye Yu and Bai Zimo often got together to play, and Ye Yu finally regained the state he should have at his age. After seeing that Bai Zimo didn't practice much at all, Ye Yu often urged him , even when they were joking, they brought the topic to cultivation.
During this period, Bai Ping saw Ye Yu's sincerity and supervision towards Bai Zimo, and became less wary of him, and even developed a slight affection for him. He often invited Ye Yu to have dinner with them, although Bai Ping didn't talk much. , but Ye Yu still learned some things about the old man from Bai Zimo. It turned out that he was Bai Zimo's housekeeper. He even watched Bai Zimo grow up and regarded him as his grandson. Bai Zimo had no respect for him. They are also treated as relatives, and they often act coquettishly and angry, which makes Ye Yu very envious.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, they also learned that Ye Yu was an orphan. Bai Ping even lamented in his heart: "Such a good child is actually an orphan. God is so disdainful!"
But if they knew that Ye Yu had been an orphan for tens of thousands of years, I don’t know how they would feel.
When the caravan was still about fifty miles away from Emperor Wu's city, it passed by a mountain. At first, I didn't notice that there was something abnormal here. There were almost no living creatures, let alone wild beasts. Not even wild beasts or birds were seen. Walking into the mountain Only then did he realize that something was wrong. The person in charge of the caravan quickly discussed it with the mercenaries he had hired to escort him. Soon the caravan as a whole quickened its pace and prepared to leave here quickly. With his many years of traveling around, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
Just when they were about to leave the mountain, Ye Yu, who was chatting with Bai Zimo in the carriage, suddenly made a gesture of silence, and the old housekeeper Bai Ping also fell silent at this moment. Just when Bai Zimo didn't know why and was about to ask, The old manager said: "Young man, please be careful. Someone with malicious intentions is approaching the caravan.
After finishing speaking, Bai Ping glanced at Ye Yu and was secretly surprised. He was a peak master, but Ye Yu was just a martial artist. It was really scary to find out something was wrong earlier than him.
Even though Bai Zimo is usually not upright, he has unconditional trust in the old butler. Along the way, without the protection of the old butler, he would have died countless times.
As soon as they discovered this, the carriage stopped, and the sound of fighting was heard. After a while, the sound of fighting became quieter. Ye Yu and others knew that they had encountered robbers, so they got out of the carriage without hesitation, because they knew that the businessmen Once the team loses, they will not end well. After all, they are grasshoppers on a rope, so they must participate in the battle.
Ye Yu ducked into the crowd, casually pinched his sword finger, and after solving a bandit, he stopped what he was doing. Bai Zimo, who was following Ye Yu, was just about to ask when he saw the caravan being surrounded by powerful forces. Surrounded, there were many casualties, and even the mercenary captain responsible for the escort was slightly injured. One can imagine the fighting strength of this group of bandits.
The bandits' sneak attack went relatively smoothly at first, quickly surrounding the caravan. They did not rush to take action, but first intercepted and killed those who tried to escape until no one was escaping, forcing them to gather together.
After the crowd gathered, the robbers separated, and three strong men appeared. The leader was a middle-aged man with one eye, and the two were very young, in their twenties, with a burly build. One was bald and the other was Big beard, easy to recognize.
When the three people appeared, the head of the caravan had turned pale. He recognized who these three people were, especially when the mercenary leader was injured by the bearded man before. He felt that they looked familiar until the three of them. Appearing together, he remembered it, but he also fell into despair, because he knew that even if he added the mercenaries and their captain, he would not be a match for the three people in front of him.
