Chapter 26 Entrance Exam (Part 1)

The Guoshi Hall was built 331 years ago. It is the exclusive hall of the imperial scholars of the dynasty. Usually, non-national scholars are not allowed to enter.

The Guoshi Hall is also located in the inner city of the capital, covering a vast area, with gardens, bamboo forests, pavilions and pavilions, which are beautiful and full of rich ancient charm.

The Guoshi Hall is divided into a main hall and a subsidiary hall. In addition, there are training rooms, thorn forests, and iron beast gates, which can be used for training.

At noon, the blazing sun hangs high, and the beam of light it radiates is like a thousand swords shot down.

In the main hall, dozens of people gathered, all of them young faces. There were beautiful maids walking through it carrying various drinks and delicacies, and Xianxian hands accurately placed the drinks and delicacies on the tables.

"Ye Feifan, I heard that among the three newly promoted national scholars this time, one is from Chongshan Prefecture." The man wearing the flying wing crown said to the person opposite.

"His name is Chen Zong and he is from Linshan County." Ye Feifan smiled and said, next to him sat Ye Feiyan and Qiu Honglie.

At the same time as he opened his mouth to respond, Ye Feifan's heart was very uneasy.

The first meeting with Chen Zong, that is, not long ago, it was less than three months. At that time, Chen Zong was only a three-star combat power, and it was not yet at the level of the three-star limit. With a sword, Chen Zong can be easily defeated and killed.

It has only been more than two months now, and Chen Zong has also been canonized as a national scholar. The transformation is so great that Ye Feifei feels a little unreal.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that Chen Zong defeated Jiang Tianmu, who had a five-star initial battle strength, and thus won the qualification to be named a national scholar.

Doesn't it mean that Chen Zong's combat power has jumped from the three-star limit to the early five-star or even higher level in less than three months?

At that time, Ye Feifei rated Chen Zong as a genius, and it would not be a problem to have a four-star combat power. As for five-star, I didn't dare to think too much about it, after all, even myself was very capable of reaching five-star.

If Ye Feifan was surprised, then Qiu Honglie's heart collapsed.

More than two months later, Qiu Honglie naturally won't stand still, but compared to Chen Zong's level of improvement, it is a world of difference. Today, he is only a three-star ultimate combat power.

Ye Feiyan's heart was turbulent at the same time, unbelievable.

No matter Qiu Honglie or Ye Feiyan, they are not national scholars, and they are usually unable to enter the national scholars hall.

However, today is rather special. Only Ye Feifan, a national scholar accompanying them, can enter here.

Among the dozens of people present, only a small number of national scholars were present, and most of them were not national scholars.

"Yu Wenran, with your combat power, you should have been eliminated in the assessment task. It really shouldn't be." The man with a pair of phoenix eyes smiled slightly, with a bit of ridicule, a bit of teasing and a bit of sarcasm in his words.

"Humph." Yu Wenran's expression changed slightly, but surprisingly he didn't refute, instead his face was gloomy.

In normal times, when my old enemy said this to me, it was inevitable that I would be arguing. Not to mention how humiliating.

"You have lost the face of our royal family, but don't worry, I will get it back for you." Yu Wenxing spoke again, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and a gleam in his eyes.

Yuwen Xing is also a member of the Yuwen clan. His father is the commander of Jinlongwei. Although he is not a blood brother with the emperor, he is also related by blood. Although the official position is not as high as that of the prince, he has amazing power.

Since childhood, Yu Wenran and Yu Wenxing have disliked each other and will attack each other whenever they have the chance.

Yu Wenxing was canonized as a national scholar with some luck a few years ago, but Yu Wenran was eliminated this time. Naturally, Yuwenxing found a reason to attack him.

"Don't think too much of yourself." Yu Wenran retorted with a cold snort. In fact, he was still a little worried. After all, Yuwen Xing's total combat power is said to have surpassed the late five-star stage. Chen Zongshi is not an opponent. , and if Chen Zong was defeated by Yu Wen Xing, Yu Wen Ran would definitely be laughed at.

"At least he's taller than you." Yu Wenxing smiled coldly, and almost choked Yu Wenran with one sentence. Immediately, Yu Wenxing looked away: "Ahe, come and sit here."

The person who came was Yu Wenhe, one of the newcomers, and his relationship with Yuwen Xing was pretty good.

After a while, Su Xiaoshui also came in, and his eyes fell on her face.

There are fewer outstanding female warriors than male warriors, and there are fewer female warriors. As long as they look good, they are often very popular.

After all, if you want to have excellent descendants, you must have an excellent bloodline inheritance, preferably both sides are excellent.

Su Xiaoshui is not only beautiful, but also has a good figure. She has an extraordinary background, and has talent and potential. Now she has been named a national scholar, which is perfect.

After Su Xiaoshui stepped into the main hall, Shi Huanyue also came and became the focus again.

In terms of appearance and figure, Shi Huanyue is not inferior to Su Xiaoshui at all. She is also a person with excellent talent and potential, and she is also the daughter of a great commander of the dynasty. No matter what aspect, she is very attractive.

Seeing Shi Huanyue, the haze on Yu Wenran's face swept away, as if the sun was breaking through the clouds, with a smile on his face.

"Han Yue, sit here." Yu Wenran said directly.

Shi Huanyue just glanced at it, his expression was flat, and he sat down in the nearest empty seat, causing Yu Wenran's cheeks to twitch, and Yu Wenxing's unbridled laughter sounded beside him.

Chen Zong came from the outside and strode into the main hall of the Guoshi Hall. Suddenly, eyes projected from all around, as if he wanted to see through himself.

"It's Chen Zong."

"The three newly promoted soldiers have arrived."

"Chen Guoshi, you are here, please take a seat." Xiao Mingli spoke first.

"Many thanks to Xiao Guoshi, but I can just sit on the side of the senior sister." Chen Zong smiled, and the teacher Huanyue just pointed to himself, which is to invite himself.

Xiao Mingli showed a smile, but he was not embarrassed, but Yu Wenran's originally depressed expression became even more ugly.

"Chen Guoshi, I have left the Linshan Courtyard, you don't have to call me Senior Sister." Shi Huanyue whispered to Chen Zong who was sitting down, "Just call my name."

Fortunately, Shi Huanyue's voice was not loud, and Yu Wenran didn't hear it, otherwise he would probably vomit blood.

"Okay, return the moon, you don't need to call me a Chinese scholar, just your name." Chen Zong smiled, not twitching.

Seeing Chen Zong sit down, the fat man Yang Qifeng also came over and sat beside Chen Zong.

People came one after another, and soon, there were hundreds of people gathered in the main hall of the Guoshi Hall, but there were fewer than ten Guoshi among them.

After all, except for this year's special situation, there was only one national scholar in previous years. Those who were many years ago were either not in the royal capital, or they were in closed-door cultivation and so on.

A powerful aura swept in from outside the main hall like an invisible storm, passing over the bodies of everyone, making people feel like a formidable enemy, and their muscles involuntarily tensed.

I saw a tall figure striding in from outside the door, carrying his hands on his back, his shoulders becoming more and more generous, as if he could carry a mountain and hold up the entire sky.

Under the thick eyebrows, there are a pair of introverted eyes, which pass by, making everyone feel that they are being stared at, and an invisible majesty falls on their bodies.

The dragon and the tiger walked like walking among thousands of troops, wearing a black shirt with armour, and it looked as if he had returned from the battlefield, with an amazing momentum.

"I have seen Zhang Guoshi." Someone immediately stood up and saluted.

"I have seen Zhang Guoshi." Others also stood up and saluted, daring not to be disrespectful.

"True Martial Realm..." Chen Zong secretly said, and also got up and saluted.

"This person's name is Zhang Tianyun, he is twenty-eight years old this year, and he is from Gulan Prefecture. It is said that he grew up in the mountains since he was a child. He taught martial arts to his disciples, and his combat power was amazing. He was ranked 19th on the Dynasty Dragon List. Eight years ago, he was named a national scholar. Now he has the fourth level of Zhenwu Realm and ranks 31st on the Dynasty Rising Dragon List. He is currently serving. Yu Weilong Army." Yang Qifeng said to Chen Zong like a family treasure, his voice was so low that even Shi Huanyue, who was not far away, could hardly hear it.

However, Chen Zong felt that Zhang Tianyun's gaze seemed to be looking this way.

According to Yang Qifeng, this Zhang Tianyun is indeed a great genius. At the age of 28, his cultivation level has reached the fourth level of the True Martial Realm. This is not inferior to the Bawu Tianjiao of Donglu. Furthermore, Zhang Tianyun is practicing the battle of the Jin realm. However, Chen Zong estimated that Bawu Tianjiao's combat power when he was practicing Jin Jing could not reach five-star level, or even four-star level, at most three-star level.

After all, the difference between Donglu's martial arts level and here is very obvious.

Training in martial arts requires not only talent and potential, but also a suitable environment and inheritance. Just like a skilled chef, in the absence of ingredients, he cannot make perfect food.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Zhang Tianyun walked to the main seat that was always empty and turned around, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and he sat down with him. .

"I am honored to be able to preside over this year's entrance examination." Zhang Tianyun spoke again, his eyes swept away: "Because there are three national scholars this year, and there are many talents."

"The three newly promoted soldiers, please get up and let Zhang get acquainted." Zhang Tianyun said loudly, and then his eyes fell on Chen Zong, Yuwenhe, and Su Xiaoshui.

The three got up and saluted Zhang Tianyun.

"The three of them are all outstanding people, but remember that becoming a national scholar is not about enjoyment, but a greater responsibility." Zhang Tianyun's eyes stayed on the faces of the three of them for a few breaths, as if to remember them deeply. Staying the same, he said immediately, in the tone of a senior.

Zhenwujing, who became a national scholar eight years ago, can be regarded as a senior, and the three of Chen Zong nodded one after another.

"The entrance examination is not only used to welcome new scholars, but also to allow all geniuses to gather together to communicate with each other." Zhang Tianyun said eloquently: "But no matter what kind, the ultimate goal is to let everyone go further. Get to know the newcomer."

Having said that, Zhang Tianyun's eyes swept over Chen Zongyu, Wen He and Su Xiaoshui again, Chen Zong's heart moved, and he secretly said: Come.
