It's the sixth day of February, it's time.
Several flying boats took off into the sky and headed towards the rising sun.
Walking at the forefront were three giant ships that were one hundred feet long. These are three luxury spaceships that travel between Yunzhou City, Kyoto, and Zongmen. Usually there are two ships sailing opposite each other, with one as a spare, but today there were three ships sailing together.
Each of these three flying boats is nine stories high. On the top floor are two sets of luxuriously decorated mansions, each as large as an acre.
On the second floor, there are four luxury suites, and the number of rooms gradually increases below. On the deck level, there are hundreds of rooms.
Following behind are two smaller spaceships, one of which belongs to the Dai family, the only Jindan family in Yunzhou, and the other belongs to the Guan family, which is also one of the top families in the state.
These five third-level flying boats carried more than two thousand people. It was the schoolchildren and their families who Yunzhou went to the sect to participate in the selection.
…
Qin Wan and others rented a courtyard on the top floor, and the people close to her all lived in this courtyard.
Not long after the flying boat sailed, everyone gathered around the Zuixian Pavilion in the middle of the yard, talking and laughing.
Yang Zhen came back late yesterday, and he didn't have time to understand the pile of things that Zhao Yue'er sent to him in detail. Now he simply laid them out and looked at them one by one.
"This is the Green Li sword," the little girl pointed to a long green sword: "The main material is Green Li wood, first-grade high-grade. Grandma said that you will need it sooner or later, so I will prepare it for you in advance."
"Mommy also said that although you are used to stick skills now, you still need to study more on swordsmanship in the future. Swordsmen are unyielding and unyielding, and they are most suitable for cultivators to improve their state of mind..."
Her old-fashioned tone made everyone laugh.
"This is a box of wood spirit stones," the little girl rolled her eyes and continued: "Mommy said that in the future, when you go to the sect, you still have to learn to use the spiritual energy from the outside world to practice. This box of wood spirit stones is only used as a last resort. Just use it.”
Mammy nodded slightly at the side. It was obvious that Zhao Yuer'er's interpretation was accurate.
"There is also a piece of armor and a pair of boots, both of which are first-class high-grade. These items cannot be used in this trial, so..."
She pointed to the remaining pile of things: "These are prepared for you for this trial."
As she pulled it away with her little hand, two pieces of vine armor, a pair of rabbit boots, a golden wooden stick, and a wooden box were placed together.
Yang Zhen curiously picked up a piece of rattan armor and found that it was almost the same as the one she was wearing. She couldn't help but look at her grandmother strangely.
Grandma waved her hand, pulled Zhao Yuer into her arms, and then explained with a smile:
"The rules of the trial are that each person can only equip one attack, defense, and auxiliary magic weapon each when fighting, but it does not prevent you from bringing more. Do you understand?"
"Defensive weapons are the most easily damaged in battle, so I have prepared two spare ones for you and Yue'er. Don't be reluctant to use them when the time comes. Some points will be deducted appropriately for replacing equipment, but it is better than being underprepared and being beaten. It’s better to get off the field.”
"And..." She raised her hand, and the wooden box fell into her hands, and she opened it immediately, revealing a hundred iron balls as big as pigeon eggs, shining with silver.
"Mortal weapons, swords and armor are not allowed to be carried, but these iron beads are not prohibited. Therefore, I have prepared a box for you and Yue'er, so that you can use multiple methods..."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized that there still needed to be someone who knew the key to give guidance!
"Mommy, tell us about the trials!" Zhao Yue'er begged softly, shaking her arm.
"good!"
…
"According to previous years' arrangements, the competition will have four major events and will be held over several days. It will mainly test the knowledge, cultivation, luck and character of you schoolchildren..."
"The first is knowledge. This is a literary test, with written answers. The content of the test is all what you have learned in the school in the past two years, including identifying medicinal materials, identifying spiritual materials, analyzing runes, drawing formation patterns, etc. The most basic knowledge is very difficult. Basically, in every literary test, among the 2,000 students, no less than 600 or 700 will get full marks, so you two don’t have to worry too much..."
"The second item is cultivation, which is the most critical of the four inspections. You will be arranged in a large formation to fight some low-level monsters. Those monsters are actually mirror images. By then Whoever kills more and stays longer will have a better ranking..."
"The third item is luck. The founder of our Yunxiao Sect, he once said that the struggle for the great road is like a hundred battles and a toad palace. What can ultimately reach the top is not only strength, but luck is also very important. So the sect When recruiting disciples, you must recruit those who are lucky and not those who are unlucky..."
"But luck is not easy to test. The exam questions every year are also all kinds of strange. It all depends on the interest of the examiner. Sometimes the examiner is too lazy to think about it, so he just lets you students draw lots. The number you draw will be the number. It all depends on God's will; some will Let schoolchildren walk through the door of life and death, and arrange two doors for you to choose each time. If you choose the door of death, your results will end here. If you choose the door of life, continue walking to see who can go the farthest; and of……"
Grandma mentioned more than ten ways to assess luck in one breath, which made Yang Zhen and Zhao Yuer dumbfounded: This, this is too childish!
"Whether it's ridiculous or not, once the rules are set, it's fair to everyone. There's no good way to do this, just keep a normal mind." Grandma comforted the two of them.
"After completing these three tests, the sect will select 800 people to participate in the last test based on their performance: character."
"The content of this item also varies every year. Some students are asked to climb a mountain or walk a section of the sect's steps. They ask you to move forward under the pressure of high-level monks, and you are ranked in order; sometimes they ask you to Staying in some dangerous places for a day, or facing some unexpected threats, etc., let’s see who performs better..."
"At your current age, your mind has not yet matured, so this test will not be too difficult, let alone dangerous. Over the past thousands of years, these tests have been repeated, and I will tell you all about them..."
"After the fourth item is over, the sect selection will end here. In the end, the top 500 people will be selected based on their performance. The first 300 people will definitely be admitted, and only 100 of the next 200 people will be selected. At this time, It just depends on the competition between the families, hehe..."
"Yue'er, you don't have a big problem. As long as you can enter the top five hundred, your master will let you be selected without my Zhao family. As for Xiao Shitou, you must strive to enter the top three hundred. Our Zhao family It is the number one family in Shuyang County, and it can also be ranked among the top ten in Yunzhou, but in the entire Xu State, it can only be regarded as an average family. The Zhao family is not sure about the competition for one hundred places... "
Yang Zhen nodded heavily, not feeling embarrassed, but instead felt a surge of pride in her chest——
Hundreds of teams compete, and thousands of sails sail. Come and compete!
