Not long after, the Academy released another message.
In order to test the students' cultivation achievements, Dali Academy, Jiangnan Academy, Shu Middle School Palace and Beiliang Academy will jointly launch a student peak competition.
Each academy selects top students with talents above 8 and cultivation levels below level five.
The specific rules of the peak competition are not explained, but I think the battle between geniuses requires real moves in terms of strength.
In Jiangnan Academy, there are only five genius students whose cultivation level is below the fifth level and whose talent is 8.
They are Fang Yi, Jing Wuying, Jiang Baiyi, Xiao Xiangzi and Shangguan Mingyue.
There are many geniuses in Dali Academy, and it is estimated that there will be more. The number of geniuses in Shu Middle School Palace and Jiangnan Academy is almost the same. The overall strength of Beiliang Academy is weaker, so the number of selected disciples is about thirty.
With his previous experience, Fang Yi secretly felt that selecting these students might not be that simple.
Soon, the result came that all five Fang Yi people were within the scope of recruitment.
On the third day after the results were selected, Jiang Baiyi quietly found Fang Yi and asked about Fang Yi's current cultivation level.
Fang Yi was quite surprised. There was no relationship between him and Jiang Baiyi. There was no talk of being particularly close to each other. Jiang Baiyi's concern for Fang Yi made Fang Yi feel more and more wrong.
"Brother Fang, have you reached the fifth-grade Hanlin realm?" Jiang Baiyi asked.
"It's still a little bit worse." Fang Yi shook his head. In fact, he has been in the fourth-level sincerity state for some time, but he has never chosen to continue to advance.
Because luck points are now obtained slowly, there are currently two known ways to obtain luck points. One is to randomly appear tasks on the panel, make a choice, and then get the luck points reward, and the other is to plunder. By plundering the luck of the son of luck, you can also gain destiny opportunities.
But recently, Fang Yi's rate of obtaining luck points has obviously slowed down.
So just in case, Fang Yi didn't use his luck points easily until it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, as martial arts and Taoism practices catch up in the future, the demand for luck points will be even greater.
However, there is good news. When Fang Yi went to the southeast sea to kill monsters, he discovered another way to obtain luck points.
Killing monsters of the same realm can also add 10 luck points to him. As for monsters with a lower realm than him, it can increase 1 luck point.
The fourth level of sincerity is a state that is neither weak nor strong. Reaching the fifth level is a bit too showy. You must know that Fang Yi has only been practicing Confucianism and Taoism for three months.
In three months, he has broken through to the fourth level of sincerity. This is already a genius, and it is relatively in line with his current personality.
If he advances violently, he may attract some unnecessary criticism and the attention of important people.
"That's a pity." Jiang Baiyi said with some regret at this time: "But I am still a little bit behind. I have been practicing hard these days, but I have not been able to reach the fifth rank Hanlin. It seems that this disaster is inevitable."
Fang Yi clearly sensed something in Jiang Baiyi's words and asked, "Brother Jiang, why did you say this? What's the point?"
"Once you break through to the fifth rank Hanlin, you don't need to participate in the peak competition." Jiang Baiyi looked at Fang Yi with a look of disbelief, and then continued to ask in surprise: "Brother Fang, don't you know??"
"What??" Fang Yi became more and more surprised. There was something in Jiang Baiyi's words, but he didn't explain it clearly. He asked him what he didn't know. What didn't he know?
"It seems that the great scholar Zhao Zhe didn't tell you." Jiang Baiyi knew most of it in his heart and said: "Brother Fang, not long ago ten top great scholars held a meeting. During the meeting, in the face of the situation where demons were raging, Zhao Zhe Zhe Daru proposed two strategies."
"One strategy is to dispatch top combat power to declare war on the demon clan, and the other strategy is to destroy the Demon Realm." Jiang Baiyi said: "The first strategy has little to do with us, but destroying the Demon Realm requires us. The top geniuses below the fifth rank go..."
After all, Jiang Baiyi was from the Jiang Sheng family, and their Jiang Sheng family had a top scholar who was in the Dali Academy. He had participated in the discussions of that top scholar.
Of course he knew all about it.
He told Fang Yi their strategy that day and the final result determined by Song Daru.
The four university palaces have reached an agreement to launch a student competition to select the twenty most powerful genius students to go to the Demon Realm to carry out the second phase of the plan to destroy the Demon Realm.
This peak competition is actually about selecting people.
After Jiang Baiyi learned the news, he kept his troops stationary and carefully observed Fang Yi's movements during this period. However, he saw that Fang Yi did not move, so he couldn't help but come to visit him. In fact, he wanted to know, as a scholar named Zhao Zhe, Did the disciple Zhao Zhe reveal some more important details to Fang Yi?
But now it seems that it is not.
Fang Yi didn't know about this at all?
This surprised Jiang Baiyi, but when he saw that Fang Yi had not been promoted to the fifth rank, Jiang Baiyi was a little relieved. Great Confucian Zhao Zhe was indeed as upright as the rumors said. Even his own disciple, Zhao Zhe No individual guidance.
Only then did Fang Yi understand what Jiang Baiyi meant. I bet he was here to get information. But unfortunately, after Zhao Zhe and Wang Jingzhe came back, Fang Yi met them, but neither Zhao Zhe nor Wang Jingzhe There was no mention of the matter at all.
I see.
No wonder there is a reminder on your own dashboard that recently "good fortune lies in the place where misfortune lies, and misfortune lies in the presence of good fortune".
That’s what it means!
Fang Yi suddenly realized that destroying the Demon Realm was a Confucian and Taoist plan to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses in order to create a peaceful cultivation environment for the human race.
Jiang Baiyi continued at this time: "Generally, if a situation like this occurs, people without foundation are most likely to be selected and used as cannon fodder, while people with foundation generally have no big problems and can get away."
"Jing Wuying, Shangguan, and Xiao Xiangzi, these three people will definitely not be able to escape. I am also embarrassed. The grandfather in the academy also has a grandson in the Dali Academy. He will probably protect his relatives. Grandson, you won't protect me." Jiang Baiyi continued, but then he said to Fang Yi: "Brother Fang, it's you, you can ask Zhao Zhe for mercy, maybe he will protect you..."
Jiang Baiyi talked about other things for a while, then stood up and left, leaving Fang Yi alone in deep thought.
On this day, Master Zhao Zhe also personally summoned Fang Yi to his room.
"Master." Fang Yi bowed respectfully to Master Zhao Zhe, then spoke. After speaking, he bowed to Wang Jingzhe who was sitting next to him and said, "Senior brother."
Great Confucian Zhao Zhe nodded and looked at Fang Yi with a kind face: "You must have heard about the discussion between the ten great Confucians."
Fang Yi nodded and said, "I heard something from the students in the Academy."
"Then you also know the result?" Great Scholar Zhao Zhe asked again.
"Yeah." Fang Yi nodded again.
The great scholar Zhao Zhe suddenly sighed and said: "Fang Yi, you have already attracted the attention of high-level Confucian and Taoist officials for your stunning poems. A few days ago, you wrote two more war poems. It can be said that you are Da Li." There is not one of the most powerful geniuses in the history of Confucianism and Taoism, and you are even the only Confucian and Taoist student in hundreds of years who has a real chance of becoming a saint."
"So I want to ask for your opinion on this peak competition." Zhao Zhe got straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush at all. He just asked Fang Yi directly for his opinion: "If you are unwilling, I can also guarantee that you don't have to participate. This is the pinnacle match.”
"You are one of the most talented disciples of Confucianism and Taoism that I have ever seen. I guarantee you. There is no pressure. Mr. Da and Song Daru will also agree and will not stop me." Zhao Zhe glanced at you. , continued: "And to be honest, I don't want you to participate in the peak competition, because it means sacrifice. I really can't watch a talented student who has the hope of becoming a saint die in my hands. "
As he spoke, Zhao Zhe said emotionally: "If that were the case, not only would my conscience be disturbed, but even if I fell under the Nine Springs, I would not have the face to treat the Four Saints."
Fang Yi did not speak. When he looked at Wang Jingzhe, Wang Jingzhe also shook his head slightly, indicating that Fang Yi should not participate in the peak competition, because once he participated, he might die in the Demon Realm in the future.
[Great Confucian Question, Peak of Life and Death]
You have two choices: 1. Choose to refuse.
[Auspicious sign: Good luck, you will not be in any danger if you do not participate in the peak competition, and you will gain 100 luck points.
Ominous aspect: If you don’t participate, there will be no danger, and no ominous aspect will occur. 】
2. Participate in the peak competition, the life and death battle in the demon realm.
[Auspicious sign: If you don’t experience life and death, you will not be able to become a truly strong person. You have taken the first step towards becoming a strong person. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will have good fortune in the future. If you survive the life and death battle in the Demon Realm, you will gain Qi. 200 luck points will be awarded, and an additional 100 fate opportunities will be obtained.
Ominous sign: In a life-and-death battle in the Demon Realm, you will definitely face life-and-death challenges. If it is a sign of great misfortune, you are likely to die. 】
There was a choice again.
There are two choices, choose to refuse, there is no risk, and Fang Yi absolutely believes in Zhao Zhe's words. As long as Zhao Zhe speaks, he can definitely save Fang Yi and prevent Fang Yi from participating in this peak competition. If he does not participate in the peak competition, he does not have to participate. In the battle of life and death in the Demon Realm, Fang Yi can safely practice in the academy without any trouble.
But participating means that opportunities and risks coexist. He will gain a lot from this peak competition and the life-and-death battle in the Demon Realm. Not only that, only by experiencing the life-and-death battle can one become a strong person, and there will also be additional rewards of destiny opportunities.
However, the disadvantages of participating in a life and death battle are also obvious, and Fang Yi is likely to die as a result.
Both of these options are not good.
But Fang Yi didn't hesitate too much and said directly: "Master, I heard that you said in the meeting of the top ten great Confucians that if there is a war with the demon clan and a great Confucian will die, you hope that you will be the first one. ?”
