"But I just discovered something that I must let Director Cheng know." Wang Liming suddenly said.
"What's the matter? Is it related to Yu Tianlu?" Cheng Kezhao frowned.
"It's related! But it's not Yu Tianlu, but that Yan Yue!"
"Yan Yue? Is he the kid who defeated the second-level tiger with one punch?" Cheng Kezhao was stunned, "Is there anything wrong with him?"
"I found that he doesn't seem to feel the power of transformation in his body!" Wang Liming said very seriously.
"What? You said he doesn't have the power to transform, is he an ordinary person?" Cheng Kezhao was a little surprised.
"This is impossible!" Cao Huaxue also objected, "He beat the second-level tiger to pieces. Can ordinary people do it?"
"Although I don't know how he did it, but I started as a teacher at the Royal Academy, and I really didn't feel the power of image transformation in that child." Wang Liming said seriously.
This time it was Cheng Kezhao and Cao Huaxue's turn to be a little shocked.
You must know that Wang Liming values his identity as a teacher of the Royal Academy, and swearing by this is enough to prove that what he said is true.
"If Yan Yue really doesn't have the power to transform, then..." Cheng Kezhao's face was full of hesitation.
"Director Cheng, even if Yan Yue doesn't have the power of elephant transformation, he is still a gifted person!" Cao Huaxue quickly persuaded, "Being able to defeat the second level of elephant transformation power with a mortal body is enough to prove that he..."
"Teacher Cao, please don't be emotional." At this time, Wang Liming said coldly, "What does the second-level elephant transformation power count in the world of elephant transformation masters? Even if that kid can barely fight with brute force, he will definitely not be able to compete with the elephant transformer. On par with a chemist."
"Teacher Wang, I think you have also forgotten one thing. In our Royal College admissions brochure, it has never been said that we will not recruit students who do not have the ability to transform." Cao Huaxue said angrily.
"That's right, although it's not written in our admissions brochure, the requirements for students are quite stringent. And using imagery ability as a selection criterion can effectively screen out the students with the most potential for us."
"but......"
"There are no buts! That Yan Yue was not even qualified to take the formal examination, so he got the credit of Yu Tianlu! If there is no more Xiang Huali, we forcefully recruit him, which will not only be unfair to other students, but also unfair to other students. His growth is not good either!”
What Wang Liming said was reasonable and well-founded, and for a while Cao Huaxue had no way to argue.
"Director Cheng, look!" Cao Huaxue looked at Cheng Kezhao with pleading eyes.
"This... Although it is a pity, what Teacher Wang said is indeed true!" Cheng Kezhao said awkwardly, "Having the power of elephant transformation is the bottom line for Yan Yue to enter the school."
"But I think Yu Tianlu has a very good relationship with that Yan Yue. If Yan Yue is not allowed to enter the school, then maybe Yu Tianlu will refuse to enter the school." Cao Huaxue said very worriedly.
"Teacher Cao, I think you are worrying too much!" Wang Liming said with a smile, "How can anyone refuse our school? People are selfish, let alone children who have not yet matured mentally? And entering our Royal Academy is not enough It means that if he has the opportunity to climb the Dragon Gate, will he not be tempted?"
"That's right, this is also a time to test him. People must know how to make choices as they grow up." Cheng Kezhao said seriously, "Let's do this! We will conduct the final assessment of Yan Yue in this formal exam. As long as he can pass the exam smoothly , then we will let him enter the Royal Academy."
"Director Cheng, what if he passes the exam by luck, but it turns out that he does not have the power to transform?" Cao Huaxue said.
"Haha, Teacher Cao, you are worrying too much. Without Xiang Hua Li, you will not be able to pass this exam at all." Cheng Kezhao said calmly, "I have already decided on the exam venue for this exam, and it is right there!"
After Cheng Kezhao finished speaking, a map of the provincial capital appeared in the middle of the Academic Affairs Office.
Wherever Cheng Kezhao looked, a red light spot suddenly appeared.
"It's actually there!" The two teachers couldn't help but gasped when they saw the red dot on the map.
"Director Cheng, is it too dangerous for children under ten years old to go there?" Cao Huaxue said very worriedly.
"What our Royal Academy needs is the elite of the elite. And judging from the previous trials, there is still a lot of potential in those children." Cheng Kezhao explained, "And you have to know that in the past twenty years, In a long time, our Royal Academy has not produced a genius. I hope that we can force those few good talents to come out this time."
Seeing Cheng Kezhao's serious look, the two teachers and their leader had already made up their minds.
"There is still a lot of work to be done in the formal examination. Please go ahead and ask all the teachers to work hard. Do you understand?" Cheng Kezhao ordered.
"Director Cheng, we understand!"
In a luxurious mansion in the center of the provincial capital, Xiang Xiaoyuan was pacing back and forth in the hall, as if waiting for some news.
At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open, and Uncle Yu, the housekeeper who had taken Xiang Xiaoyuan to Muyang Town to be a judge, hurriedly ran in from the outside.
"Miss, miss! Good news, good news!" Uncle Yu also had a smile on his face.
"Uncle Yu, are you saying that Xiaolu and the others have passed the test?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked quickly.
"Young lady, you can see for yourself!" Uncle Yu waved his right hand, and the previous list of the Royal Academy appeared in front of Xiang Xiaoyuan out of thin air.
Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes were sharp and she saw the names of Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue at the bottom of the list.
"Strange, how come they are ranked at the bottom?" Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned, "It shouldn't be! Let's not talk about Ayue for now, but Xiaolu's ability should be among the top three. But isn't the admission list usually only 500 people? ?Why is there still No. 501?"
"I don't know about that! But it's already very difficult for them to enter the formal examination." Uncle Yu said, "With this ranking, it may be a little difficult to pass the formal examination."
"Miss, you don't have to worry about this. I believe they will be fine." Mu Linfeng's voice came from behind the two of them.
"Teacher Mu, you're here!" Xiang Xiaoyuan held her skirt in hand and hurried over to greet her, "Why do you have so much confidence in Xiaolu and the others?"
"Confidence naturally comes from their real results!"
"Real results?"
"Miss, do you know what Yu Tianlu's real ranking is?"
"Is it among the top ten?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked tentatively.
"Top ten already underestimates him. His real results have surpassed Lu Lianhai, who is number one!"
"What? Is this kid so powerful?" Uncle Yu was also amazed, "Originally, I thought he was just a little kid from Muyang Town. That's not right! If he is so powerful, why are he ranked 501st? ?”
"I think it's to protect Xiaolu!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "The big tree attracts the wind, but the Royal Academy is very thoughtful!"
"It looks like eldest lady, you will become classmates soon!" Uncle Yu was also happy for Xiang Xiaoyuan.
"I'm also looking forward to it, but we won't be able to decide the direction of things until the end." Xiang Xiaoyuan frowned slightly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Mu Linfeng could see Xiang Xiaoyuan's thoughts.
"Teacher Mu, do you think I'm a little selfish?" Xiang Xiaoyuan said suddenly.
"Selfish? Miss, how could you have such an idea? For ordinary people, the Royal Academy is a shortcut to becoming an Elephant Master!"
"Are shortcuts always good?" Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a little melancholy, as if she had remembered something.
"But I believe Xiaolu will make the most correct choice." When Xiang Xiaoyuan said these words, the childlike young man came to mind again.
Time flies, and soon the weekend arrives, and the official examinations of the Royal Academy finally begin.
The friends who came out of the "Wulian Gang" set out on the journey very early.
"What on earth is this place?" Yan Yue on the carriage looked at the red dot marked on the map of the provincial capital and was a little troubled. "Are we going on the right route? Why is this place so remote?"
Yu Tianlu received the exam notice from the Royal Academy in advance, which included this map.
"Okay Ayue, don't look at it. With your sense of direction, it's useless to look at it." Yu Tianlu said with a smile, "Anyway, just leave it to Manager Wu. He will definitely take us to our destination."
"I really didn't expect that this official exam would be held in that kind of place!" Wu Lianzhi's face seemed a little unhappy.
"What's wrong, Azhi? Ever since you got this notice yesterday, your face has been as straight as a donkey's!" Yan Yue laughed.
"Your face looks like a donkey!" Wu Lianzhi glared at Yan Yue, "Do you know where the exam is?"
"Judging from the map, it seems to be a forest there!" Yu Tianlu said.
At this moment, Yu Tianlu's mind was filled with scenes from online articles in his previous life. The protagonists in those time-traveling web novels basically start in a big forest, fight monsters and level up, or subdue rare birds and beasts, and some even find their lifelong love.
Yu Tianlu felt that he should also get the same script.
"The forest is a forest, but there are no trees there!" Wu Lianzhi's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Yu Tianlu.
"Without trees? Without trees, is it still called a forest?" Yan Yue couldn't help but say.
"It is indeed called a forest. Although the area there is not large, it does have the effect of a forest." Wu Lianzhi explained, "Because it is a virtual forest."
"Virtual forest? This forest is also virtual!"
"Actually, that piece of land was originally a real forest. However, due to the indiscriminate deforestation of that forest in order to build the provincial capital, the lush forest soon turned into a desert." Wu Lianzhi said here. , there was also a sigh on his face.
"Then what happened?" Yu Tianlu asked.
"Later? The government saw that the wasteland had no use, but it was not a problem for such a large piece of land to be abandoned there, so it assigned the desert to the Royal Academy." Wu Lianzhi said, "The Royal Academy also spent more than ten years on It was only through transformation that the wasteland was transformed into a virtual forest.”
"It looks like it should be a huge project, but you still didn't tell me what the virtual forest is."
At this time, the carriage happened to pass a landscape bridge, and Wu Lianzhi opened the curtains of the carriage.
Wu Lianzhi pointed to a row of trees outside and asked, "Look, you two, is there anything weird about that row of trees?"
"Is there anything strange? Aren't trees just trees?" Yan Yue looked at them for a long time but couldn't see any clues. "At most they are arranged somewhat neatly. What else are there?"
After Yu Tianlu took a closer look at the landscape trees, his expression changed slightly: "No, why are each of these trees exactly the same, as if they were completely copied? Are those trees all artificial?"
