Lu Jing also didn't expect that the news that he was going to participate in the competition would spread so quickly.
It had only been an hour since he came back from Uncle Chen. Xia Huai and Yang Tao had already come to see him one after another, and by the afternoon, everyone in the entire academy knew about it.
This is the first time in the history of the academy that people who do not practice secret power participate in the secret power contest.
In particular, Lu Jing seems to want to use this small competition to prove that he has not been left behind by other students in the same class. However, all of his opponents, except for Xia Huai, who practiced a month late, have all completed the 100-day competition. Establishing the foundation can be officially called a cultivator.
In other words, this is a challenge launched by warriors against practitioners!
In fact, if it were a pure test of skills, none of these newbies would be confident that they could beat Lu Jing. However, this competition was originally designed to test the results of their secret power training over the past three months. It is tantamount to using one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.
If they could lose in this way, wouldn't they just be practicing alone during this period?
And don't forget, this is an academy, and its secret power is much richer than the outside world.
It can be said to be the natural home ground for practitioners. Casting spells here will be faster, easier to succeed, and consume less secret power.
Therefore, most people were not too worried about Lu Jing joining this competition. Instead, they were all eager to try it.
If they can defeat a first-class expert on the Tianji Ranking, even if it is only a conditional defeat, it will undoubtedly give them a huge encouragement.
Let them be more determined to practice.
Huang Jianyuan, who was in charge of this competition, thought the same way, so that night, he asked Ti Xue again to increase the difficulty of several test questions so that they could not be completed by means other than secret power.
Professor Zheng, who was in charge of teaching the secret power class, couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Isn't it too cruel? And if I remember correctly, Huang Jianyuan, don't you really like that student named Lu Jing?" "
"Public is public, private is private. First of all, I am the supervisor of the academy. Naturally, I have to put the interests of the academy in the most important position. It is a rare opportunity to inspire a group of students to practice hard and let them feel the secret. The importance of strength, so as to study harder in future schoolwork.
"Isn't this the most important purpose of this competition? So there is no reason for the academy not to push things in this direction."
Huang Jianyuan paused and then continued, "As for Lu Jing, I do think highly of him. Because of this, I hope he can withstand more hardships. This process may be painful, but it also affects his character." It’s also a spiritual practice.”
Professor Zheng wanted to ask back, but what's the use of cultivating the character of mind? Aren't you still unable to cultivate the secret power? But he finally endured it.
Lu Jing was a person favored by Huang Supervisor, so the relevant training was naturally decided by Huang Supervisor. He had no reason and did not want to interfere. The reason why he intervened before was because he simply felt that there was no need to do things so absolutely. .
In his opinion, even if the test questions were not changed, Lu Jing would definitely lose tomorrow's competition. It was just a matter of losing more and losing less. But when he saw the new test questions, he felt that tomorrow's competition would not be better for Lu Jing. It is likely to be a complete humiliation for the students.
But the problem is that Lu Jing didn't do anything wrong. He just doesn't have the talent for cultivating secret power. Is it really necessary to do this?
As if he could see what Professor Zheng was thinking, Huang Supervisor then added another sentence.
"Don't underestimate him too much. Don't forget how much time he spent in the ancient tomb in the desert. Don't we still know how he did it? There are also those who have existed for thousands of years. The other world also disappeared because of him...
"Some time ago, in order to help him find a way to cultivate his secret power, I asked Wu Han to send him into Jinghu Valley to meet those paper figures. This is also an important reason why I changed the topic temporarily, because I always felt that in my heart A little uneasy."
Professor Zheng was rather disapproving when he heard this. He only felt that Huang Jianyuan was a little too cautious.
But he had no intention of arguing with the other party. He just nodded and said, "No matter what, this time it should be foolproof."
"I hope so."
That night, I don’t know how many people had insomnia because of Xiao Bi tomorrow morning.
But this definitely did not include Lu Jing. Anyway, when he was in the morning, he had already packed the things he would need for tomorrow and went to bed early.
And at 9:00 a.m. the next day, I got up from the bed.
I washed and ate first, and then practiced the first four steps of the storm twice in the courtyard to stretch my muscles and bones, and then I picked up a suitcase and walked towards the back mountain.
Because Lu Jing didn't want to draw attention to himself, he deliberately chose an early time, hoping to arrive early and find a corner where he would be less likely to be spotted.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was still half an hour before Xiaobi started, but thirty or forty people had already gathered there.
When Lu Jing appeared, the eyes of those people naturally focused on him, or more accurately, on the basket behind him.
There was no way, mainly because the hood was too conspicuous, almost half a man tall, and made Lu Jing look like a scholar who had come all the way to Beijing to take the exam.
But the problem is that the test he is going to take this time is secret power. Except for some students majoring in formations, there are a few sash hanging around their waists, containing materials for casting spells, and most of the others are traveling lightly.
You just need to stuff the things you need into your sleeves, or simply carry them in your arms. Unlike Lu Jing, he feels like he has brought all his belongings with him.
However, Lu Jing himself didn’t think there was anything wrong, because he also knew that Xiao Bi’s exams were mainly about things related to secret power, and he even learned some information from Wu Han and Ye Gongmei about the previous foundation building exams. Comparable test content.
Naturally, he also knew that martial arts could not solve all problems. Fortunately, he did not only have martial arts. Lu Jing had already made a lot of preparations before the competition, and he was determined to win his share of the world.
A group of teachers from the Huang Jian Yuan and the Academy arrived on time at Chenshi, and they didn't say anything nonsense afterwards. They just asked the students who were going to participate in the competition to tie the red silk ribbon on their arms.
Then he glanced around the crowd and paused for a moment on Lu Jing. He was obviously shocked by the big basket behind someone, but he didn't say anything to Lu Jing alone and just continued.
"There are seven questions in total. You can't do the next until you finish one. After you finish them all, come back here and hand the ribbon to me. Whoever takes the shortest time will get the best result. The top ten people can choose a lottery in turn. Do you understand? "
