Hearing this, Jian Chen's heart moved slightly and he asked: "Brother, are the third-level magic cores very precious?" Although Jian Chen knew about the magic cores, he was very confused about the price of the magic cores.
"Of course, a third-level magic core can be sold for one hundred amethyst coins. In the four years since I came to the academy, I have never used a third-level magic core. At most, I have only used a second-level magic core. The magic core, and it cost me fifty amethyst coins to buy it." As soon as he said this, a look of heartache appeared on Changyang Hu's face.
Jian Chen thought about it for a while in his heart, and quickly decided that he must try his best to get the third-level magic core in tomorrow's freshman martial arts competition. Although Jian Chen has never used the third-level magic core, he also knows that he can pass it. Absorbing the energy in the magic core for cultivation is many times faster than absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. Once he has this third-level magic core, he believes that he will soon reach the tenth level of holy power.
When the sky gradually dimmed, Jian Chen, led by Changyang Hu, went to the school cafeteria to have dinner, and then they separated and walked towards their dormitories.
Back in the dormitory, Jian Chen closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed and was about to start practicing, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock on the door, Jian Chen looked in the direction of the door in confusion, then got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door was a woman about thirty years old, wearing a long cyan dress. Although her appearance was not stunning, she was still quite beautiful. Her long dark green hair was draped casually on her shoulders. Gives people a sense of elation.
"Is something wrong?" Jian Chen asked as he looked at the woman with confusion.
"You are a freshman who has just entered Kargas College. Tomorrow the college will hold a competition for freshmen. All freshmen must participate. Remember not to miss it." The woman looked at Jian Chen indifferently and said coldly.
"Well, I understand, is there anything else?" Jian Chen said.
"No more!" After saying these words, the woman turned around and left, heading towards the next room. It seemed that she wanted to inform the other students one by one.
After closing the door, Jian Chen returned to the bed and sat down cross-legged, and soon entered a state of cultivation.
Early the next morning, Jian Chen finished his night's training and left the room alone. He went to the cafeteria according to his memory from yesterday. After receiving breakfast, he found an empty table and started eating. Since it is still early, there are not many people in the cafeteria and there are empty seats everywhere.
After eating breakfast, Jian Chen walked directly to the playground in the center of the school, where today's freshman martial arts competition was held.
Along the way, Jian Chen found that there were many students around him who were walking towards the playground in the center of the school like him. Since the old students were all wearing uniforms of the school, Jian Chen could tell at a glance that most of them were freshmen. , there are not many old students, maybe some old students are not interested in the freshmen martial arts competition.
When Jian Chen approached the playground, he saw from a distance that five competition stages with a diameter of thirty meters were built on the playground, and there were already many people surrounding the competition stage.
Jian Chen came to a big tree a hundred meters away from the competition ground. When he was still five meters away from the big tree, he suddenly rushed forward, and then used his feet on the trunk of the big tree to lend strength, easily He jumped onto a five-meter-high tree branch and leisurely sat on the trunk to enjoy the cool air. It was still early and it wasn't time for the competition to begin yet, so Jian Chen was not in a hurry to run over so early. Ning is just basking in the sun for nothing.
Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was time for the competition. At this time, about a thousand students had gathered around the competition ground. Except for a small number of old students in school uniforms, the rest were all They are all freshmen.
However, Jian Chen could tell from the clothes worn by the new students that among them, those above the ninth level were born as commoners. They were all wearing coarse clothes made of simple fabrics, and some of them even had stains on their clothes. Several patches. This is not only because there are more civilians than nobles in the Kingdom of Geshen, but more importantly, most of the children living in poor places can endure hardships and practice the power of the Holy Spirit than some people living in big families. The disciples in the academy have to work much harder, so most of the students who can enter Kargas Academy are civilians.
In addition to these, Jian Chen found that among the new students, the youngest ones were almost sixteen or seventeen years old, and there were even ten-year-olds. After all, Jian Chen had reached 80% of the power of a saint at the age of fifteen. There are not many people there, so among the freshmen who entered this year, Jian Chen is probably the youngest. Despite this, Jian Chen's physical development far exceeds that of ordinary people. Although he is only fifteen years old, he looks more like a sixteen or seventeen year old boy.
Jian Chen jumped down from the five-meter-high tree trunk, landed lightly on the ground, and walked towards the direction of the competition stage. When he came to the outskirts of the crowd, Jian Chen did not continue to squeeze in, but quietly Standing outside quietly, Jian Chen couldn't get interested in the martial arts competition between a group of children. It didn't matter whether he watched it or not. The reason why he participated in the new martial arts competition was just for the third-level magic core. .
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Suddenly, an unusually loud sound suddenly came. The sound was very loud and spread throughout the entire playground. Hearing this sound, the students who were talking around them all fell silent. In an instant, the entire playground became silent. got up.
Then, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a white costume walking onto a competition ground in the center. The middle-aged man looked ordinary and unremarkable, but his eyes were bright and bright, as if he were a sword. It's like a magical weapon that makes people dare not look directly at it.
The middle-aged man looked around, with a pleasant smile on his face, and said in a friendly tone: "Dear students, I am Bai En, the vice-principal of Kargas College. I will personally host today's freshman martial arts competition. As for the martial arts competition, Everyone must have seen the rules on the bulletin board at the school gate, so I won’t go into details. The prize for this freshman competition is the same as usual. The first newcomer king is still a third-level magic core. As a reward, the second place will be rewarded with a second-order magic core, and the third place will be rewarded with a third-order magic core. In addition to these, any student who can enter the top fifty will receive an amethyst coin. reward."
When they heard the last reward, all the freshmen in civilian clothes cheered loudly. Civilian families like them didn't have much daily expenses, and they ate only simple meals. A gold coin would be enough for them. A family of three can sustain their living expenses for a month, and one amethyst coin is equivalent to one hundred gold coins, which is almost enough to support their family of three for nearly ten years. Although the magic core is more precious, they don't dare to expect it. After all, there are only three places for the magic core, but there are a full fifty places for the amethyst coins.
At this moment, almost all the students from relatively poor families couldn't help but feel their blood boiling. They secretly vowed in their hearts that they must work hard to enter the top fifty for this amethyst coin.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of these civilian students, some noble disciples showed disdain in their eyes. Although an amethyst coin was a large amount in the eyes of some civilians, among these children living in aristocratic families, it was not worth it at all. It's nothing, and Jian Chen carries almost fifty amethyst coins on his body.
The freshman martial arts competition began soon, and the students drew lots to choose. The tickets were placed in a large tube and covered with a piece of paper, so the numbers inside could not be seen at all.
There are two large jars containing the tags. One of the jars is drawn by students who have reached the eighth level of holy power, and the other jar is drawn by students who have reached the ninth level of holy power. This way, It is possible to avoid some students whose power of the eighth-level saint encounters the power of the ninth-level saint. If this is the case, there will be almost no suspense about the outcome.
Although the minimum admission standard for Kargas College is the eighth level of holy power, among the freshmen admitted every year, there is no shortage of freshmen with some talents in cultivation, or some noble families cultivated them with some natural resources. people, so almost every year there are new students who have reached the ninth level of holy power and enroll.
The lottery ceremony was carried out quickly, and soon it was Jian Chen's turn. Looking at the few sticks in the big jar, Jian Chen randomly selected one, then took it from a distance and opened the seal on it. I saw the words "No. 64, Arena Three" written on it.
Looking at this number, Ling Tian already knew in his heart that his opponent would be the person with the ticket No. 136 of the third arena, because the opponent in this competition was based on the sum of the numbers on the two tickets. Calculated with the number two hundred.
After getting the signatures, all the mathematicians silently walked to the arena where they were about to compete, and Jian Chen also arrived not far from the arena number three.
The schedule went very quickly. The first round of the competition only took half a day to complete. Since the opponent was just a child without any martial arts skills, Jian Chen entered the second round very easily.
After lunch, the freshman martial arts competition continued, but this time the number of participants was reduced by half, with a total of about five hundred people.
The second round was still exactly the same as the first round. It was determined by drawing lots. Since the number of participants was less than half, the second round ended in only four hours. After the second round, the participants There are only 256 people left. According to this number, the following lottery can be carried out smoothly without any embarrassing incident of one more person.
Then the third round of drawing ceremony was immediately carried out. After the drawing was completed, the competition began immediately, and finally ended in the evening. At the same time, one hundred and twenty-eight people were successfully promoted, including Jian Chen.
After leaving the competition ground, it was almost dark. Jian Chen touched his stomach that was already protesting and shook his head helplessly. In his previous life, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for several days and nights, but now As long as you don't eat three meals a day, you will feel hungry, which makes Jian Chen feel quite helpless.
Soon Jian Chen came to the cafeteria of the college. After collecting his things, he found an empty seat in the lobby and sat down and began to eat. Although the food was simple and could not be compared with Changyang Mansion, Jian Chen Still eating with gusto.
Since the freshmen martial arts competition has just ended, the number of people in the cafeteria is not much less than usual at this moment. There are still very many people. Not long after Jian Chen sat down, all the seats in the cafeteria were taken up, and there were even many people. They couldn't find an empty seat. Although Jian Chen was sitting at a table alone, no one dared to sit with Jian Chen because all of them were children from common people. How could they dare to sit with Jian Chen? Wearing luxurious clothes, it looked like they were noble children with extraordinary births sitting together.
