Xiong Yi, dressed in a long robe, hurriedly walked through the bustling city.
Soon, he arrived in front of an academy gate guarded by many soldiers wearing long swords.
I saw several long lines lined up in front of the college gate.
"Brother Xiong, why are you so late? Could it be that you couldn't sleep last night to relieve stress?"
A pale young man also wearing a robe waved to Xiong Yi.
"come here."
Xiong Yi hesitated for a moment, thinking of the rigid rules of the academy, and worried that the soldiers would seal the academy when the time was up, so he walked directly to the front of the team without hesitation.
Seeing Xiong Yi looking like he was about to jump in line, the people behind him showed angry expressions.
However, before those people could speak, the pale young man shouted loudly:
"Everyone, please give in. Brother Xiong Yi is one of the few students with outstanding achievements in the college. He is the pride of our Hongze Third College. These are truly talented people who can climb the top list step by step. They are not comparable to those of us who accompany the exams. of."
As soon as this statement came out, some people immediately whispered.
"That's Xiong Yi, a rookie who rose to fame in Hongze City two years ago. It's said that he only missed Miss Bilan from the first college in the unified examination of Hongze City's top ten colleges."
"It's a pity. He was specially recruited to join the Third Academy two years ago. If he studied with us for nine years, he might really be able to surpass Miss Bilan."
"Bullshit, Miss Bilan will always be the number one in Hongze. Some adults even say that Miss Bilan is the most enlightened person in Hongze City for thousands of years. How can Xiong Yi compare?"
"Yes, Miss Bilan is the most powerful...".
...
Those students who were originally angry with Xiong Yi for jumping in line immediately shut up.
Although everyone is basically belittling Xiong Yi and elevating Miss Bilan, but it also depends on who he is competing with?
Everyone knew that Miss Bilan had been able to get on the list a long time ago, but she just wanted to go a step further and stayed in the First Academy for nine years without skipping the exam.
Everyone present did not believe that Miss Bilan could be on the Heavenly List, and it was even more impossible for Xiong Yi. However, Miss Bilan could probably be on the People's List. In this way, Xiong Yi might also be on the People's List. This is what makes it possible. The main reason why people present are prone to jumping in line.
Xiong Yi ignored other people's comments and quickly walked to line up behind his friend.
"Brother Jian, thank you very much."
Jian Ye saw that Xiong Yi's face was not very good, so he whispered:
"Are those children from aristocratic families making things difficult for you?
How about I contact Ying Jiaoxue? "
Xiong Yi shook his head,
"It's okay, the exam is important."
Jian Ye continued:
"The number of places admitted to Hongze City is limited. Those people from aristocratic families use all kinds of means every time to block civilians who hope to be admitted. Does it really matter to you?"
Xiong Yi shook his head,
"In the city, those people don't dare to do anything. They just want to use their profits to make me give up the exam."
Jian Ye nodded,
"Indeed, in our Dashang Kingdom, there are spiritual gods in most of the mountains and rivers, and the cities are filled with temples. People from those aristocratic families dare not do anything excessive under the eyes of the spiritual gods."
Xiong Yi nodded and couldn't help but recall the experience of Dahuang.
Three years ago, he moved with his younger brothers and sisters to a wilderness on Donglin Island in the Dashang Kingdom.
For the first half of the year, they settled in a small village in the wilderness, and then entered Hongze City.
Xiong Yi had a good impression of Dashang Kingdom.
What impressed him most was the order of Dashang.
Dashang can make people become spiritual gods after death, and use spiritual gods to monitor most of the kingdom's territory.
Within Dashang, even powerful warriors would not dare to harm mortals easily.
People in the Great Shang Kingdom, even if they don’t practice, can probably live to old age with a straight spine. Unlike in Taiyuan Island, people who have not become warriors, let alone dignity, just want to
Even if you have to bend down to live a life, you may not be guaranteed.
The territory of Dashang was peaceful but there was no waste of weapons.
Within the kingdom, every giant city has a psychic fleet stationed there, and there are even martial saints stationed there.
What makes Xiong Yi most satisfied is that within the Great Shang Empire, there are channels for ordinary people to climb up, such as entrance exams.
Dashang takes the exam once every nine years.
It is divided into three lists: heaven, earth and people.
If you are on the list of people, you can become an official, and you are eligible to apply for mysterious martial arts skills.
Once on the scale, all the magical skills of the kingdom will be basically available to you. In addition, limited resources will be provided to make you stronger.
After ascending to the Heavenly Ranking, you can enter the kingdom's martial arts holy land, that is, practice within the wonders of heaven and earth, and you can also receive guidance from powerful warriors such as the Martial Saint and the Martial God from time to time.
The most important reward on the Heavenly Ranking is to obtain the peerless divine elixir "Qi Dao Dan".
As long as you are a human being, after taking the Qidao Pill, your martial arts qualifications will be upgraded to the highest heaven level among the four levels of Xuanhuang and Heaven.
Perhaps because he saw Xiong Yi's serious expression and thought he was under too much pressure, Jian Ye comforted him and said:
"If you can pass the city exam and get the qualification for the district exam, even if you fail the district exam, you can probably become a city employee who manages a side when you return to Hongze City. By then, your status will be higher than those from aristocratic families who are just waiting to die. If you have more, you can vent your anger when the time comes.
As long as you perform normally in the city exam, you will get a spot in the district exam. "
The entrance exams are divided into city exams, district exams, regional exams, and national exams.
Only after taking the national examination can one be on the third list.
Most officials in Hongze City are not from the People's List. Only officials who are from the People's List can be listed in the kingdom and can be promoted step by step. Although officials who are not on the People's List can be promoted within the city, it is basically impossible to be transferred to other giants. City, without great merit, it is basically impossible to change one's background and become a real official.
Xiong Yi was speechless. After all, he was also the son of a Sky-Shattering Warrior. He was considered a nobleman in Taiyuan City before. Would he think so much about becoming a city employee?
He was thinking about getting on the national examination list, and his goal was to get on the top list where he could change his qualifications, so he was depressed.
The Dashang Kingdom was very large, and Donglin Island was just an ordinary island among the hundreds of Dashang islands.
There are too many people taking the exam, and each person only has one chance. The age limit is before thirty years old. Xiong Yi is twenty-two this year. He cannot wait for the next exam in nine years, so he can only rush into the battle.
Xiong Yi, who has experienced the battle of the monster clan to destroy the city, is very eager for strong strength. If he can't climb the sky list this time, even if he gets on the ground scale, he will probably not have any achievements in this life, so he is under pressure. big.
Compared to Xiong Yi, Jian Ye was more relaxed. He was even in the mood to relieve stress the day before.
It's no wonder that people like Jian Yi basically have a try-it-all mentality. After all, they are old and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will never be used again.
Seeing Xiong Yi's solemn expression, Jian Yi shook her head and said no more. She really didn't understand what Xiong Yi was nervous about. His grades were as good as Miss Bilan's, and he was almost certain to get a place in the district examination.
As the team continued to move forward, soon it was time for Xiong Yi and the two to register to enter the academy.
