The middle-aged man fell silent.
Subconsciously, he was willing to believe what his students said.
Because these students are usually very obedient and perform very well.
And Xiao Zhan is just a stranger.
But... although Xiao Zhan had a faint smile on his face, he didn't look serious at all.
But Xiao Zhan has a certain temperament about him.
This temperament made the middle-aged man understand that Xiao Zhan disdained lying.
Therefore, middle-aged people have to think about whether their impressions of these students are fake and whether their usual behavior is just fake.
For a moment, the middle-aged man didn't know what to say.
Is it possible to really question his own students in front of outsiders?
Seeing that his mentor was silent, Tian Gou said with aggrieved face:
"Teacher, you must make the decision for us!"
The middle-aged man still said nothing.
Xiao Zhan just laughed while drinking and didn't say anything.
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Tian Gou and others were stunned.
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile:
"Your mentor is gone, do you still dare to stay here?"
Hearing this, the expressions of Tian Gou and the others changed instantly.
The next moment, they all turned around and ran out of the yard.
Not long after, Xu Caidi came out of the house.
She was practicing just now and didn't understand what happened at all. She even asked Xiao Zhan:
"Senior Xiao, do you still need me to stay?"
"If nothing happens, I plan to go home."
Xiao Zhan looked at Xu Caidi with a smile, "All along the way, you were lamenting that you couldn't join the Mecha Academy."
"I think you can try again. What if you join?"
Xu Caidi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again the next moment.
"Senior Xiao, I...I can't do it."
"If it doesn't work once, it doesn't mean it won't work forever," Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"It depends on what you want. I plan to take the exam at Wangcheng Mecha Academy. As for whether you are willing to take the assessment, that is your own wish."
Xu Caidi fell silent.
It can be seen that her mood is very complicated. It is obvious that she was not able to join the Wangcheng Mecha Academy before, which was a huge blow to her.
And now that she has offended Tian Gou, she will definitely be embarrassed if she enters Wangcheng Mecha Academy.
And Xiao Zhan...
She couldn't always expect Xiao Zhan's protection.
After a long time, Xu Caidi suddenly gritted her silver teeth:
"I...I'm taking the assessment!"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Three days later.
The instructor team of the Mecha Academy brought hundreds of disciples to Wangcheng.
They set up ten assessment points in Wangcheng.
All disciples who want to join Wangcheng Mecha Academy can take the assessment at any of these ten assessment points.
Only those who have passed the assessment will accept the subsequent assessment.
Xiao Zhan took Xu Caidi and lined up in the middle of the queue.
There are too many people queuing up.
From the city gate, it stretches for several miles.
But Xiao Zhan was very patient.
Several hours passed before it was Xiao Zhan and Xu Caidi's turn.
What’s interesting is that the instructor in charge of this assessment point is Tian Gou’s instructor.
Seeing Xiao Zhan, the middle-aged man frowned slightly.
He felt that Xiao Zhan's temperament was very different and could not be possessed by ordinary people.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan came to take part in the assessment, which he felt was very inconsistent.
Tian Gou held two test papers in his hand, but never handed them to Xiao Zhan and Xu Caidi.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Tian Gou.
Tian Gou then handed the examination paper to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan handed one of them to Xu Caidi behind him, then walked aside and started answering the questions.
There are some messy test questions on the exam paper.
But Xiao Zhan could see at a glance that these unrelated questions could actually determine whether a person was suitable for the path of a foundry master.
Not long after, Xiao Zhan finished writing his answer sheet, then walked directly to the middle-aged man and handed him his examination paper.
The middle-aged man took a look at it and frowned immediately.
Because Xiao Zhan's answer was almost exactly the same as the standard answer.
Those who can reach this level are at least at the instructor level in Wangcheng Mecha Academy.
The middle-aged man exhaled a breath, looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Although I don't know why you joined our Wangcheng Mecha Academy in this way, I still want to say that I hope you don't have ulterior motives."
"Also, my name is Liang Kuan."
"If you want to become a tutor in our Mecha Academy, you can apply directly after entering the academy."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, then walked aside.
Xu Caidi's forehead was covered with sweat.
She had only completed less than half of the test paper.
Xiao Zhan didn't say a word to remind him.
In fact, when she was in the Xu family, Xu Caidi also learned a lot of mecha knowledge from Min Zhong.
Although these questions are tricky, many of them even seem to have nothing to do with casting mechas. With Xu Caidi's answers, it shouldn't be a problem to just pass the test.
But Xu Caidi didn't know this.
Her mind was in chaos, and she was just answering the questions based on intuition.
After another hour, Xu Caidi completed the answer sheet, then took the answer sheet and walked to Liang Kuan with great anxiety.
However, Tian Gou took the test paper first and glared at Xu Caidi coldly.
Liang Kuan's impression of Tian Gou was no longer as good as before.
Seemingly seeing that Liang Kuan was a little unhappy, Tian Gou quickly handed Xu Caidi's exam paper to Liang Kuan.
Liang Kuan frowned and looked at it, then fell into thinking.
After a few seconds, Liang Kuan nodded:
"You can barely pass the test, go and wait nearby."
Xu Caidi was stunned:
"Really...really? Did I really pass?!"
Xu Caidi's mood suddenly changed like a roller coaster.
Liang Kuan nodded lightly, "This is just the most basic test. There will be several more tests later, so stay calm."
"If you can't change your irritable personality, you won't be able to make achievements in casting mechas in your life."
Xu Caidi nodded quickly, hugged Liang Kuan, then turned around and ran to Xiao Zhan's side.
She jumped up and down like a nimble little rabbit, with a bright smile on her face.
"Senior Xiao, I really passed!"
“Although it was only the first round, I really passed!”
Xu Caidi was very excited:
"thanks for your encouragement!"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said nothing more. He just opened the wine gourd and poured a sip of strong wine into his mouth.
About an hour later.
Everyone's results are out.
After queuing for several kilometers, in the end, less than a thousand people passed the first assessment.
And among them, there are many people who have a good foundation in casting mechas. Some even have elders in their families who are level 4 or 5 casters.
Liang Kuan looked at the crowd and said loudly:
"Everyone, come with me."
After speaking, Liang Kuan led some students and walked towards the distance.
More than 900 people who passed the examination followed suit.
Not long after, Liang Kuan led everyone to a valley.
At this time, other teams had also gathered in this valley, with a total number of only more than 10,000 people.
Liang Kuan and other instructors gathered together, discussed briefly, and then each released a mecha.
Ten mechas appeared in the valley, causing a burst of exclamations.
Because these ten mechas are not only exquisite in appearance and extremely eye-catching, they are also extremely delicate and the casting technology is very high.
The next moment, ten disciples from the Mecha Academy came forward and each entered a Mecha.
Liang Kuan then said loudly:
"Next, these ten mechas will fight in pairs."
"In every battle, you need to guess which one will win."
"Only those who guess correctly five times in a row will be considered to have passed this test."
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, isn't it a simple matter to see which mecha will win?
As soon as there is a fight, you can immediately see the strength and weakness.
However, is it really that simple?
In the entire world, would the entrance exam for the first-tier mecha academy be that simple?
Obviously not.
I saw two mechas walking to the open space next to them.
The two mechas are taller and shorter, with different shapes and similar auras.
Liang Kuan said directly:
"This time, make a choice before you start."
"Now, the mecha I'm pointing at is number one."
"The other one is number two."
"If you choose number one, you will win. Stand on my left hand side. If you choose number two, you will win. Stand on my right hand side!"
The crowd immediately exploded.
Someone blushed and shouted:
"The fight hasn't started yet, how do we know which mecha can win?!"
"That's right. Just tell us if you don't want us to pass the exam. Why are you deliberately trying to embarrass us?"
"Or are we just guessing based on luck? Are the assessments at Wangcheng Mecha Academy such a piece of cake?"
However, Liang Kuan ignored these people and continued:
"If you don't make a choice within ten breaths, you will be considered eliminated."
Seeing that Liang Kuan was not joking, the crowd immediately began to move to both sides.
Most of them couldn't see the doorway here, and only a handful of them fell into deep thought.
But no matter what, including those who just asked the question, they all chose the left or the right within ten breaths.
A large number of people choose randomly based on luck.
Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, stood on the left side with a smile on his face, which meant that Xiao Zhan believed that Mecha No. 1 would win.
Although Xia Xiaoyu didn't know which mecha would win, she believed in Xiao Zhan and followed Xiao Zhan without any hesitation, standing on Liang Kuan's left hand side.
This is Xia Xiaoyu's luck.
The next moment, the two mechas collided with each other, causing a violent explosion.
The two mechas are controlled by students who have studied at Wangcheng Mecha Academy for more than five years. These mechas were cast by them personally.
Xiao Zhan also nodded, feeling that the level of these Mecha Academy disciples and the mechas they forged was pretty good.
The two mechas were almost evenly matched, and no trend could be seen at all.
But Xiao Zhan knew that Mecha No. 2 was destined to lose.
Among those who chose to stand on the left, some people's eyes gradually became firm, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Some people in the crowd standing on the right suddenly realized it, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
As for most of the other people, they were still confused and extremely nervous, hoping that their choice was correct.
Some people died, but not completely...
