Chapter 24, Special Examination and Special Recruitment
What is special examination? Except for a few teachers present, all the other students were confused, and the surrounding spectators were even more confused. But one thing is certain, it will be more lively. So the spectators are eagerly looking forward to watching the show.
The special examination and special recruitment is actually a contingency method for Tianlong College to deal with special situations when recruiting students.
If a candidate has special talent in a certain area but is slightly deficient in registration qualifications, he or she can take a special examination. If he passes the special examination, he can enter the college as a special admissions student.
Generally, candidates are very familiar with the registration qualifications and admission rules, so very few apply for the special examination, and the special examination is very difficult, so in fact there are very few special examinations. As far as Dan Dao Academy is concerned, there are at least five special examinations. There have been no special examinations during the admissions season.
That's why Elder Xu forgot that there is such a rule. Qingshi's mere fact that he became a second-level registered alchemist at the age of eighteen was enough to apply for the special examination, not to mention that he claimed to have already reached the third-level level. With such a talent, it is absolutely deserving of special examination treatment.
But Elder Xu is not optimistic about passing the test.
The rules of the special examination are very simple. Candidates who take part in the special examination only need to challenge the veteran student who was originally in charge of the freshman examination and defeat him. It is the same regardless of martial arts.
The students selected by the college to preside over the freshman assessment are all outstanding senior students. It is understandable how difficult it is to defeat them.
According to Elder Du's instructions, the person Qingshi wants to defeat now is a young student who has been standing next to Elder Xu. This student is named Na Zhiyong. He is twenty-nine years old this year. He has been in the academy for nine years and is already a third-level alchemist. Teacher, a famous senior in Alchemy Academy and even the entire academy.
The reason why Elder Xu is not optimistic about Qingshi is precisely because Vice President Du pointed out that Qingshi wants to challenge Na Zhiyong.
In the way of magic, the gap at each level is huge. The second-level alchemist and the third-level alchemist seem to be only one level apart, but the gap between this level is actually huge. Countless ordinary alchemists I will never be able to cross this gap in my lifetime.
In order to show fairness, the assessments are all conducted at the admissions site. At this time, the special recruitment assessment will be conducted, and naturally it will be conducted onsite.
Two sets of alchemy equipment of the same shape were placed two feet apart in front of Qingshi and Nazhiyong. The alchemy furnace and various auxiliary medicinal materials were already prepared. The elixir to be refined was naturally a third-grade elixir that could reflect the level of Nazhiyong of the person being challenged. As for the medicine, the specific choice was the most popular Qi-Returning Pill.
Elder Xu gave the order and the two began to take action.
Nazhiyong's movements are brisk and methodical, and Qingshi's movements are also very skillful and fast. After a while, both of them finished selecting the medicinal materials and started refining them one after another.
The bluestone feeding speed is slightly faster, but Elder Xu and several other Alchemy Academy students saw that his material selection was not as accurate as Na Zhiyong in terms of dosage. The so-called expert judgment, in their eyes, although the bluestone speed is slightly faster, it is actually Already at a disadvantage from the beginning.
In the control of the next alchemy technique, even a layman can see the difference. Na Zhiyong's movements are skillful, and his qi and fire control are flawless. It can be called a textbook operation, while Qingshi's technique is weird and obviously wild. Let's see The movements up there were not very skillful and a bit hectic.
As time went by, everyone in the audience gradually understood that Qingshi was afraid that he could not win. Duan Xiaoyu frowned and clenched his fists. He was extremely anxious but could not help but sighed helplessly.
About half an hour later, Na Zhiyong took the lead to withdraw the fire and complete the refining. Everyone saw that Qingshi was originally in the lead, but now even his speed was overtaken by the opponent, and they were even more convinced that he would lose. After another half of the incense burning time, the bluestone was also removed from the fire to complete the refining.
Seeing that both of them had finished, Elder Xu took a step forward and said to the crowd: "The alchemy test is over. I will reiterate the rules. The winner will be based on the quality of the elixir. The one with the best quality will win. If there is no difference, the one with the fastest speed wins. The one who completes it first will be checked first. Please ask Elder Wang, Elder Du, and Elder Qi to come forward and verify."
This Elder Qi is the elder in charge of this recruitment in the inner courtyard of the Martial Arts Academy.
Elder Xu waved his right hand and opened the lid of Na Zhiyong's alchemy furnace. Six pills flew out and fell into a jade plate in Elder Xu's left hand.
The three elders gathered around to examine and exchange carefully, and then Elder Xu announced: "Na Zhi Yong Cheng has six three-star Qi-Returning Pills, three of the top grade, two of the middle grade, and one of the low grade." He announced in his mouth, but in his heart. While secretly praising Zhiyong, this guy is really good. He actually has a furnace of six elixirs and three top grades. He is worthy of being passed down by Dean Jin personally.
Then Elder Xu used the same technique to take out the bluestone pills, but they were the same six pills, flying around in the jade plate.
Elder Xu looked down, and his mouth opened wide and could no longer be closed. The other three elders saw that Elder Xu had a different expression and hurriedly came over. However, they were all stunned when they saw it.
The onlookers didn't understand the situation, so they all whispered to each other.
After two breaths, several elders raised their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment, while the crowd watching around them started to make noises.
A bald man shouted: "What the hell did this kid do? It's scary! He must have made shit!" After saying this, he laughed wildly, and the onlookers couldn't help but laugh loudly together.
Suddenly, he heard a scream, and the big man flew backwards three feet away. He fell to the ground and groaned, but a figure rushed over and kicked him away.
Everyone looked in shock, only to see that the one who took action was one of the three students brought by the admissions supervisor, Elder Wang.
He was short in stature and had been following Elder Wang and Zheng Fanyi just now without being noticeable. Now he kicked the big man away and didn't say anything. He just stood in front of people and stared at everyone with his true energy. The people watching the fun were naturally monks. , feeling the aura of the high-level Qi Condensation Realm on his body, they all shut up and remained silent.
Several elders here did not care about the students punishing the gangsters. They communicated and discussed in low voices the pills made by Qingshi. The reason why these pills surprised them so much was that the six three-star Qi-Returning Pills were all high-grade. Equal quality.
Elder Xu is a fifth-level alchemist, but he cannot guarantee that all six elixirs in a furnace will be of high quality.
Although they were shocked and puzzled, the facts were before them, and the four elders could only accept it after deliberation for a long time.
Elder Du waved over Qingshi and asked with a smile: "You boy, you are really good at it. How did you achieve all the top-grade six elixirs in this furnace? Can you tell us?"
Qingshi smiled slightly and said: "Actually, this is my first time to do it, it must be luck."
Elder Xu didn't really believe it, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only reasonable explanation, so he nodded and said: "You performed very well. Luck is also based on strength. You won."
After speaking, Elder Xu turned to face everyone and announced: "Six blue stone three-star rejuvenation pills, all of which are of high quality." After a pause, he continued amidst everyone's exclamations, "I announce that this special test, Qingshi won and passed the assessment, and entered the Alchemy Academy as a special admissions student and entered the inner courtyard."
After the announcement, the crowd went into uproar, and then someone started shouting.
One person cheered, and everyone agreed. Soon the entire crowd of onlookers, including Zheng Fangyi and other students taking the exam, began to cheer. The most cheerful one among them was undoubtedly the girl in red, Duan Xiaoyu, who looked like jumping flames.
