September, golden autumn.
The weather in the North is the best only in this month. It is neither cold nor hot, and the sky is high and the clouds are clear.
"It's another good season of the year for cultivation!" Feng Liuyun sighed, looking towards the gate of Beidou Mountain.
At the mountain gate of Beidou Mountain, which is also the gate of Beidou College, many people came at this time. Every September, Beidou College recruits new students.
Not many people are qualified to come to Beidou Academy. It's not okay to just pass by casually and ask to go up the mountain to sign up.
For those who are eligible to sign up, the first thing they need to get is a recommendation.
This recommendation is hard-earned. Beidou Academy only recognizes three types of recommendations.
The first is the recommendation from Beidou’s own family. Each person has only one recommendation quota per year.
The second is recommendations from other colleges. All 442 colleges on the Mainland College Rankings have this recommendation. It's just that those at the top have more qualifications, while those at the bottom have less or even no qualifications.
The third is the martial arts conferences of various cultivators all over the continent, and even the heroic deeds of the three empires. Some of them are recognized by Beidou Academy, and there are even some related ones. The winners are also recommended.
These recommendations will also be rigorously reviewed every year.
Because what the recommendation obtains is just a trial qualification, this trial is not only an assessment of newcomers, but also a review of the recommendation qualifications.
If a newcomer who is personally recommended cannot pass the trial, the recommender's recommendation qualification will be permanently deprived.
Those who are recommended by the academy and cannot pass the trial will lose a few recommended places by the academy. Not to mention that this situation will also cause the college's ranking on the Billboard to drop. I want to win back this recommendation spot, but it will take a lot of effort.
As for the quota for the competition, although it is not so demanding. However, it is not an ordinary difficulty to achieve a recognized winning result in a competition recognized by Beidou Academy. This recommendation was earned through hard work.
In the end, those who can gather in front of this door are almost all the people selected from a million. But at this point, they haven't even set foot in Beidou Academy. All they could do was stand outside the mountain gate and wait patiently.
Looking at them, Feng Liuyun felt a little reminded of himself back then. He didn't come from an orthodox academy, and he didn't have the luck to meet powerful people from the four majors. At that time, he was just a wanderer on the mainland, doing anything to survive. Later, in a fierce gambling game, the red-eyed opponent seemed to be trying his best to slap a letter on the gambling table.
What is that? Feng Liuyun didn't know, but everyone else's eyes changed. The other party's tone was also very loud. I want to use this unknown thing to bet on everything on the table.
There was more than a thousand pieces of gold on the table, but looking at the other person's look as if he was risking his life, Feng Liuyun was really curious about what it was.
"It's a bet."
He didn't ask any questions at the time and just pushed all the money on the table out. He likes this unknown excitement.
A guy who can lose everything on the table is really terrible in terms of gambling skills and luck. In that game, after seeing the dominoes, the opponent's face immediately changed.
The guy didn't even hesitate and used his power. He actually cheated decisively.
"Chu Qian?"
Feng Liuyun was angry. He looked down upon people who had no gambling products. He slapped the guy to death on the gambling table on the spot.
The money and the letter are all his, of course.
Then he was hunted.
Feng Liuyun traveled all over the country and was poor most of the time, but occasionally he had a little money. He has exposed more wealth, but he has never attracted such a vicious pursuit.
The problem, of course, was the letter.
Why is a letter so valuable?
He fought bloody battles to escape the pursuing Feng Liuyun, but he couldn't figure it out. He doesn't even know a few words, but he can make out a few things like trust.
Later, I found a literate person and finally understood what it was.
Recommendation letter from Beidou College!
Feng Liuyun's eyes straightened immediately. I don’t know the words. Have you never heard of the names of the four major colleges? This letter is indeed worth a thousand dollars, and the bloody battle is worth it.
But then what Feng Liuyun was thinking about was how much the letter would cost.
Yes. He had no intention of entering Beidou Academy based on this letter. In his heart, the four major colleges are high-end, special and precious places. Are they the place for a guy like him who just rolled out of the mud? Inappropriate, too inappropriate.
He was only thinking about selling letters, and his thoughts were simple: wouldn't letters of recommendation from Beidou College be best sold near Beidou College?
So he traveled through mountains and rivers and came here, at the foot of Beidou Mountain. He dug in wherever there were more people, and it turned out that it was September, just in time for Beidou Academy to assess new recruits.
He mingled with the team and asked everywhere, "Do you want a letter of recommendation?"
Who can squeeze in there but is not qualified to recommend it? Everyone thought he was crazy, and Feng Liuyun didn't understand. It was hard to exchange for a lot of money. Why was it that no one cared about the letter of recommendation that he had saved so hard in this world?
He was so confused that the letter was finally delivered to the mountain gate.
"Letter of recommendation..."
He only said three words before someone took the letter and checked it.
Feng Liuyun was excited. He was waiting to negotiate the price, but an assessment came.
Later, he passed the examination and inexplicably became a member of Beidou Academy...
It’s hard to look back on the past!
Feng Liuyun was filled with emotions. It would be difficult to find another one of the four major colleges like him who managed to get into it in a daze.
"Senior Brother Liuyun, it's almost time." Feng Liuyun was lost in thought when someone suddenly spoke beside him.
"Oh, oh!" Feng Liuyun came back to his senses and responded repeatedly.
"Then I'm going down." Feng Liuyun said, and when he stepped on it, a colorful light suddenly rose from the middle of the mountain and fell straight to the Beidou Mountain Gate.
The newcomers outside the door were shocked.
Is this...a ray of light?
After all, those who come here are all leaders from all walks of life, and their vision is not ordinary. Many people have heard of Beidou Academy's famous fifth-level supernatural power, Xiaguang Wanzhang. It was eye-opening to see such a villager-like guy with such dazzling level five abilities every time he made a move. Beidou Academy is indeed extraordinary.
"Senior Brother Liuyun is here." But the Beidou students who received the newcomers at the door did not make a fuss when they saw Feng Liuyun appearing in such a way, and just said hello in a normal way.
"Well, it's my turn, right?" Feng Liuyun didn't think there was anything special and just nodded in agreement. He did this not to show off, but just to hurry. This kind of thing is not uncommon at Beidou Academy. There are more than 400 colleges in the mainland college rankings, but there are no big four colleges among them, because the four major colleges have never been on the same level or in the same field as them.
Just look at the newcomers outside the sect. There are only a handful of newcomers who are qualified to come to Beidou Academy and below the penetration level. It is really difficult to pass the assessment of Beidou Academy in terms of perception. And these students are basically reluctantly recommended by colleges with lower rankings. The recommendation quota of the college is the most difficult. If the recommendation fails to pass the assessment, the college will lose the right to recommend and the ranking will drop; if the college has the recommendation quota but cannot recommend the student, the quota will also be lost and the ranking will drop. Therefore, those who have quotas have no choice but to send some students to try their luck, and there are even few who secretly recruit people to protect the recommendation.
But the four major colleges don’t care either. Just from outside the mountain gate of Beidou, you can imagine how far the foundation of the four majors has reached. The newcomers who need to be assessed are already of such strength, and the starting points of the four major colleges are already unusually high compared to other colleges.
And this is only the situation recommended by the college.
Among the newcomers I personally recommend, their levels may vary, but most of them have extremely high qualifications or extraordinary bloodlines, and have a future worth looking forward to.
Not to mention winning the competition, the newcomer's existing strength is the strongest among the three parties' recommendations. The level of double soul penetration and triple soul penetration can often be seen among these people. And this kind of strength is already a tutor in many colleges, even at the dean level. The depth of the four majors is evident from this.
Even the newcomers are so strong, you can imagine what the scene will be like in the academy. Penetrating realm? Ability? These are the things that are most indispensable here. What does it mean to rush along in a ray of light?
Feng Liuyun didn't take this seriously. After saying hello to the person, he stood aside and watched the receptionist check the recommendations one after another. Back then, it was here that he handed his letter of recommendation to the recruiter in a daze, and then participated in the assessment along with twenty-seven other people. But now, he has become the examiner of twenty-eight newcomers.
"Liu Yun, yours is almost ready." The receptionist turned around and said hello. The twenty-eight newcomers, who are in charge of assessment by Feng Liuyun, have already checked the recommendation of the last one.
"Yes." Feng Liuyun walked up to the waiting list and couldn't help but take a look at the 28th person. A young boy who looked young had no luggage, his clothes were not neat, and his hair was messy. He looked like he had gone through a very difficult trek. In this group of newcomers who have adjusted their status and appearance to the best condition, it is inappropriate to say that they stand out from the crowd, but it is very appropriate to say that they stand out from the crowd.
But his expression was very calm, and he stood there quietly, waiting for people to check and recommend.
The recipient opened his letter and glanced at it.
Personal recommendation.
What needs to be verified for personal recommendation is not the name, but the power mark left on the letter, and then comparing it with the power mark left in the academy, which is a small method in the customization system. The receptionist held the letter with his left hand and put his right hand on a thick directory on the table without opening it. In just a moment, he had completed the work.
"Name." He went to pick up the pen with his right hand, and shook the letter in the air casually with his left hand. The other person did not answer his question immediately, but immediately answered: "Can you return the letter to me?"
"What?" The receptionist looked up. He casually destroyed the letters of recommendation that had been checked.
"Keep it as a souvenir." The young man said quietly.
The receptionist glanced at him and said nothing. With a flick of his left hand, the letter floated over.
"Thank you." The young man took it, nodded his thanks, and then answered the question before the receptionist.
"My name is Lu Ping." He said, "The road is fair and flat."
