Lin Yan and the others have been in the "Sage Academy" for some time. Compared with other places, what makes them feel most different is the education method of the academy.
Although the selection is strict, after entering the academy, in addition to the study of basic courses, the academy will not use a single rigid assessment to determine the merits of students, but will truly "teach students in accordance with their aptitude."
For example, some students are extremely talented in calligraphy and painting, but have mediocre talent in martial arts. As long as they can meet the minimum requirements in the martial arts assessment, they can concentrate on developing what they are good at, and the academy-related aspects The teaching will also provide targeted guidance.
You don’t even have to worry that the direction you want to develop is too partial and you can’t find anyone to guide you, because in the academy, which is open to all rivers, outstanding talents from all fields are recruited. Even Xu Dahai wants to find a like-minded person to discuss it. For all fashion and clothing issues, you can find corresponding tutorials.
This makes people sigh once again about the inclusiveness of the academy!
Of course, for people like Lin Yan, the main direction of development is naturally martial arts. As a warrior, fighting training is a daily homework, so the Confucian uniform with wide robes and long sleeves will be inconvenient.
In fact, the academy has already taken this into consideration. The iconic Confucian uniform is only worn during indoor classes and adheres to ancient etiquette.
And once you start practicing, you will put on the narrow-sleeved warrior uniforms customized by the academy. They are made of the best materials. They not only absorb sweat, but are also extremely tough and will not be easily worn out during combat training. Even some Students who have graduated from time to time take it out and wear it. It is really useful.
Lin Yan and the others have been living such a simple and orderly life since the beginning of school, but on this day, their peaceful days were broken because a special teacher came.
This man is Lieutenant Zuo of the Huben Army—Li Mu!
This man was originally a frontier soldier, but was later transferred to Chang'an due to his outstanding performance and joined the Huben Army.
It is said that he was originally unwilling to come, but later had no choice but to give up his career as a frontier soldier due to family reasons, but he himself was very reluctant to give up. Of course, this is all hearsay, and we don’t know how much is true or false.
But one thing is true, that is, this man fought bravely, and he was able to reach his current position entirely because of his "Desperate Saburo" momentum. He rushed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and was nicknamed "Lone Wolf"!
It is indeed a bit strange to suddenly transfer him to serve as a special instructor this time. You must know that there has never been such a precedent before.
The reason is that the mortality rate of Confucian students who go out for training has gradually increased in recent years.
Although most people who graduate from the academy possess strong strength, being in the world of martial arts is not just about strength, but more importantly, knowing how to survive in desperate situations.
Some of the students who died in the past few years did not understand the dangers of the world, and were poisoned and died in evil ways; some did not know how to avoid the edge temporarily, and were tortured to death by people who were much stronger than them... and so on, no One and all!
Although the academy is proud of itself, it will naturally not let go of the madmen who harmed the students, but what's the use of taking revenge? The life lost cannot be replaced!
Moreover, since these people dare to take action, they are well prepared to face the academy's revenge. After the corpses are destroyed and all traces are wiped out, who can find out that it was them?
Especially the recent death of Li Chuqi forced the academy's senior officials to put this matter on the agenda in advance. As a disciple who had a great possibility of entering the inner courtyard died tragically outside, they had no reason to ignore it.
Therefore, the senior officials of the academy applied to Emperor Tang to dispatch manpower to train these students who have never seen the bloody world, so that they can experience it in advance, so that they may be less dangerous in the future.
Today is just a preview, formal training will start tomorrow.
In the next half month, the college will conduct closed teaching. All students are not allowed to go home, and all food and accommodation must be done in the college.
Moreover, this training will be included in the assessment results. Anyone who quits midway or is unable to complete the training will be treated as a failure. Even those with extremely poor grades will be expelled from the academy and will never be admitted!
This is very scary! I originally thought that after entering the academy, I would be able to settle down. Not to mention becoming a saint or a sage, at least my future should be bright. Who would have thought that something like this would suddenly happen and make all the students unconsciously nervous!
After all, if this fails, you will be kicked out.
But this so-called closed training will not be easy no matter how you think about it. If nothing else, just looking at the vicious new guy with unshaven beard is not a good thing. Didn't you see the cross scar on his face? So scary!
All the students had mixed feelings in their hearts, but the academy's arrangements could not be violated, so they had no choice but to go home and pack their things.
On the way home, Lin Yan was still thinking about this sudden training. After careful calculation, it seemed that it had something to do with him. After all, the grudge in the tomb with Li Chuqi could be regarded as yesterday's cause and today's effect!
Ming Ya looked at his gloomy look and thought he was worried about tomorrow's training. The girl said, "Don't worry. Although the instructor looks a bit fierce, we are all students and he shouldn't be too harsh on us." of."
Although Lin Yan was not worried about this at all, he still smiled and nodded when he saw the girl comforting him.
Seeing this, the girl smiled brightly, then patted her chest proudly and said, "If anything happens, sister will protect you!"
Listening to the speech of the gang eldest sister, Lin Yan also laughed dumbly and said: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
The girl smiled and said: "Put it on me!" Then she put her hands behind her back and skipped away. Lin Yan shook his head and hurriedly followed her.
After the two returned home, Lin Yan said hello to Old Man Yang and said that they would not come back to live during this period.
When the old man heard the words, he said lightly "Yeah" and didn't care too much. Lin Yan didn't say anything more. After staying for a while, he also knew the old man's temper. He was always cold to others and would not say any unnecessary words.
After that, he went out again, naturally to "Xu Ji". Since he couldn't get out for half a month, Lin Yan brought all the inventory on hand to Xu An so that he could sell it. Since his reputation was slowly building up, he couldn't cut off the supply of goods and reduce the popularity.
During this conversation, Xu An was still worried about the previous 50/50 split. He thought he had taken advantage of Lin Yan and insisted that he would be responsible for the future materials. Lin Yan couldn't resist him, so he agreed. After all, this can save yourself a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Lin Yan had an idea recently, but the sudden training camp disrupted his plan, so the specific details can only be discussed with Xu An after the closed training is over.
After returning home, Lin Yan simply packed his luggage. Mumu was still left in the house by him. Although the little guy was very resentful, it was too risky to take him out. If he was accidentally exposed during the training, it would be a lot of fun.
So he only brought a few changes of clothes and a broken knife. Just in case, he also brought "A Thousand Purple Colors" with him. Although the academy should not let them really encounter danger, what if it happens? Lin Yan didn't like to pin his own safety on others.
Early the next morning, Lin Yan and Ming Ya went to the academy together. The former naturally carried his little cloth bag, while Ming Ya carried a floral baggage, which gave her a girlish air.
After the two of them arrived at the academy, not long after, all thirty-two people had arrived. When they thought they should allocate dormitories first, they were told that the training venue was not here.
Didn't you say you were in the academy? If not here, where else could it be? Could it be...
Li Mu grinned and said loudly: "It seems that you are all here, then let's set off to the training ground!"
"By the way, have you seen these black stones in the basket in front of me? Let me tell you, this thing is called the 'Zhen Yuan Stone'. It is used to suppress the vitality in your body. Now, everyone, carry it on your back and set off. !”
Some students asked weakly: "Professor Li, where are we going?"
Li Mu said: "Nanshan!"
"What?"
The students were all blown away when they heard it. No one expected that they would have to walk Nanshan again. But strictly speaking, Nanshan is also an academy, so it does not conflict with the training location mentioned before. After all, it only said it was in the academy, but not where in the academy it was.
In fact, it's not that far from here to Nanshan, but the prerequisite is that you don't carry these "Zhen Yuan Stones" on your back.
It is true that it can suppress vitality, but more importantly, its density is extremely high, which results in its weight being several or even ten times that of ordinary stones.
Originally, they could use the vitality in their bodies to share some of the pressure, but when the vitality was suppressed, they could almost only rely on physical strength to bear the weight of these stones, which was a big burden.
Although everyone present was reluctant, they were forced to comply due to Li Mu's power. After all, during this training period, he holds everyone's "power of life and death" in his hands. Whoever fails is just a matter of his words. Who dares to go against him?
The students present carried the basket containing the "Zhen Yuan Stone" one by one. When it was Lin Yan's turn, the moment he carried the basket, he clearly felt that the movement of vitality in his body was sluggish. If the vitality in the body was like a rushing river, then the river has obviously frozen at this moment.
Feeling the vitality running at a turtle speed in his body, he had to sigh, it was really well-deserved. It seemed that this new temporary teacher had some tricks, and the next training might not be easy!
Seeing everyone reluctantly carrying the baskets on their backs, Li Mu gave an order, and the thirty-two students walked towards the Nanshan Mountain outside the city.
Pedestrians on the street looked at their strange team and couldn't help but be curious, pointing at them and talking about them.
Some of the thin-skinned students couldn't help but blush. Who would have thought that dignified academy students would parade on the street carrying stones like coolies? It's really degrading to the gentlemen!
Li Muke didn't care about this. Since the academy's senior officials wanted to hold such a training camp, they had to follow his method.
Fighting is not just playing tricks. If you can't lose face at this moment, then sooner or later you will lose your life because of this ridiculous pride. At least, among the students he trained, he hoped that as few people as possible would die from this in the future.
After all, he has seen too many deaths over the years...
