"Have the results of this year's assessment come out?"
"Not yet. Tingti Xue said that a total of 414 wooden tokens have been issued this time. There is still one and a half months until the assessment ends."
"There are so many newcomers this year? I remember that the previous ones only had more than 200 yuan at most."
"I don't know... I heard that it was the intention of the Young Supervisor and the superiors to ask the supervisors above the third level in the department to recommend new people, and each of them was given five places."
"But haven't those guys always had little interest in this kind of thing?"
"So in the end, only more than 400 wooden tokens were sent out, and some of them were people selected by the Secretary in advance... But this year is indeed a little different. It is said that the seismometer will now give an early warning every three days. The toads are even more noisy and crow non-stop every night. It is obvious that the world is about to undergo great changes, and the Young Supervisor and the others may be planning for the future."
"Hmph, that guy Guo Ziyi has a good plan, but the rules are the rules. He has recruited so many people, and it's all in vain if they can't pass the assessment. Master Tixue will not let them study in the hospital under any circumstances, otherwise they will not be able to succeed in their studies in the future. It’s just harming others and yourself.”
"It's not that serious. Although the number of this year's batch of newcomers is large, their quality is also very good. According to the current results, there are already 79 people above C grade, which is far more than the previous batch. These days, everyone Everyone is discussing this year’s newcomers and trying to select good ones to pass on the mantle.”
"Huh? Does Professor Xu have someone he likes?" The person who spoke was shocked when he heard this.
The academy professor surnamed Xu nodded, "The most powerful person among the newcomers is Yan Yun from Yunshui Jingci Pavilion. This woman is a disciple of Qiu Moli, the master of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion. She is less than twenty years old. He has entered the first-class realm and is already the number one among the younger generation in the world.
"What's even more rare is that she is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has the best temperament, understanding, and moral character. It is said that her affinity for secret powers is also very good, but Qiu Moli wants to train her to be the successor of His Excellency Yunshui Jingci. Pavilion Master, that's why he refused to let him go. In the end, it was Shaojian Guo who came to the door in person and asked for him.
"Now the professors and academic staff in the hospital are very jealous of her. They have almost caught up with Aoi's glory when she was admitted to the hospital."
"Yan Yun? I have heard about it, but in terms of the nature of the secret power, she should not be as good as the little girl named Xia Huai from Xijiang Pavilion. When she came to deliver the letter, didn't Lao Xu and us all go to see her together? , even Master Tixue was alarmed, and I heard that after returning, her master took her to retreat together, and she has now broken through to the second-rate realm."
"It's a pity that she still has little experience in the world. Although the professors at the academy are optimistic about her cultivation of secret power, in terms of overall potential, Yan Yun is indeed better.
"Not only Yan Yun, but also the young monk Zhaoming from Xuankong Temple, Mr. Baiyu from Yaoshan Villa...these leaders are all well-deserved. I don't know how Guo Shaojian managed to recruit them all. This new generation is indeed very lively, but it's a pity. Wei Zixian, Xijian Pavilion has already left Xia Huai, and no matter what, he doesn't want to send Wei Zixian here again.
"As for the person I want most...it's not among the above."
"Oh, who is that?"
"It's okay to tell Lao Zheng that he is a young man named Yang Tao. He has a simple heart and a very rare innocent heart. He is just suitable for practicing my righteousness body protection technique." Professor Xu stroked his beard and said, "But this kid is too thoughtful. If you are too forthright, it will be easy to pass the assessment, but it will be difficult to get good grades."
"The test questions for this trial realm are..."
"Desert Ancient Tombs."
"Is this the question?"
Professor Zheng was surprised, "I remember this question was recorded in the academy. It has only appeared once in the past two hundred years. The case itself is not complicated. However, the overall quality of the person being assessed in all aspects, especially in a harsh environment The requirements for decision-making ability are very high.
"Sandstorms appear twice a day. Although the armored warriors inside are at a lower level than the person being tested, the rotten aura on their bodies can greatly consume the internal strength of the person being tested.
"And once you come into contact with those armored warriors, you will become the priority target of those armored warriors in the subsequent sandstorm.
"So the time between each sandstorm becomes particularly important. On the one hand, the examinee needs to use this time to meditate and adjust his breath to restore his lost internal strength. On the other hand, he must find a way to use this limited time to investigate the truth.
"As the days go by, sandstorms will become more and more frequent, and the pressure to survive will become greater and greater. The design of this question is quite clever. Who has the best score so far, Yan Yun?"
"No," Professor Xu shook his head, "Yan Yun is still in the assessment, but she has been in the trial realm for nine days and has not come out yet. There is no need to worry about her progress.
"The one with the best results besides her is Mr. Bai Yu from Xiaoyao Villa. He has been in the trial realm for a total of twelve days. He has found out the mastermind behind the scenes and is about to break the formation. Unfortunately, he is still one step behind."
Professor Xu's words were quite regretful, "But even so, he is still first-class."
Professor Zheng on the other side thought of something else, "I remember that there is an opportunity hidden in the question about the desert ancient tombs, right?"
"That's it. There is an opportunity hidden in every question in the trial realm. However, the opportunities in most of the questions have been taken away by others. The ancient desert tomb has only appeared twice in two hundred years. The opportunities in the questions have been taken away. It should still be there.”
After a pause, he continued, "But... this question is too difficult. Just solving it is difficult. I'm afraid no one will have time to look for that opportunity."
"That's right." Professor Zheng closed the ancient scroll in his hand, but finally made up his mind, stood up and said, "Let's go and see this year's newcomers."
…………
Lu Jing has not yet realized that he has entered the trial realm of the academy.
After all, everything in front of him looked very real, and he couldn't find any flaws in the conversation with the female shopkeeper. At this moment, he really seemed to be in a small desert city thousands of miles away.
Everything he saw and heard was full of exotic customs, especially when he saw the majestic palace in front of him, he couldn't help but admire the builder's exquisite skills.
"Yazdan said that this palace has a history of more than 400 years, longer than his family. It was built by the first owner of Malazar Khan. However, there was turmoil in the city later and the place was also destroyed. Most of it was destroyed, but now the palace has been rebuilt on the original site, but unfortunately it is still not as powerful as before." The female shopkeeper translated.
