Chapter 3446

After leaving the bookstore, Fade Chen made some calculations and decided to go to Nanshan Academy first to check the situation.

After all, Nanshan Academy was founded by a human city lord, and the vast majority of his disciples are human beings, so the martial arts should be more suitable for him.

After making a decision, Fade Chen asked about the location of Nanshan Academy and rushed over directly.

Nanshan Academy is located on the outskirts of Shuanglin City, surrounded by a hill, and built wooden buildings inside it as an academy.

When Fade Chen arrived at the entrance of Nanshan Academy, he could see that many people had gathered at the entrance. At a glance, the number of people exceeded a hundred.

Among them, many people stood guard near the gate, staring at the gate of the academy intently, as if they were waiting for something.

Such a situation made Fade Chen curious. He came to a small teahouse by the side of the road and sat down. He ordered a cup of tea and asked casually, "Boss, what are these people doing?"

The boss poured a cup of tea, and then enthusiastically introduced it to Fade Chen.

"These people all came to Nanshan Academy to learn from teachers."

Fade Chen rolled his eyes, "Student apprentice? Then why don't you go in, what are you doing at the door?"

The boss smiled and said, "Young master, you are joking. Who doesn't know that Nanshan Academy is one of the three major martial arts halls in Shuanglin City, and there are many people who want to learn from masters."

"If everyone accepted, Nanshan Academy would have been full. These people were not selected, and they want to stand guard at the door, looking for an opportunity."

Fade Chen nodded in understanding, and then said, "How does Nanshan Academy recruit students? Is there any standard?"

"Young master, you also came to Nanshan Academy to learn art from a teacher!" The boss smiled, "Speaking of this, I really understand it better."

"If you want to enter Nanshan Academy, the simplest standard is naturally the realm of martial arts. You can enter the academy if you are under 50 years old and can reach the fourth level of Starfire Realm."

Hearing this, Fade Chen nodded secretly. After more than a week of practice, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Starfire Realm, which has reached the standard of Nanshan Academy.

It looks like you should be able to get in.

At this time, the boss continued: "Of course, this requirement is a bit high, and many people can't meet it."

"So, Nanshan Academy has two other paths."

"One is to donate 1,000 fire crystals to the academy, and then you can enter the academy."

"The other one is that there is a big person from the academy as an introducer, and you can also enter the academy with the joint recommendation of at least three professors from the academy."

Fade Chen chuckled and shook his head, then sighed secretly.

It seems that no matter where, in what world.

Money and power have always been the focus of attention.

The so-called two roads, without a doubt, are money and power to put it bluntly.

If you have one of these two, you can enter the academy even if you don't reach the level of martial arts.

Seeing Fade Chen sighing, the boss thought he was disappointed, so he added: "Actually, besides these three ways, there is another way."

"It's just that there is no clear regulation on this route, so it's not a formal way to enroll in Nanshan Academy."

Fade Chen asked curiously: "What way?"

The boss pointed to the people waiting outside, and said, "The last way is to become the accompanying student of a formal student of Nanshan Academy, and also be able to follow the student into the academy."

"Of course, the companion is not an official student of Nanshan Academy. The main job is to serve the official students and solve the troubles in life for the students."

"In the spare time outside of this, you can listen to some courses in the academy and learn some martial arts."

"This kind of accompanying reading, although far inferior to formal disciples, is still an opportunity to enter the academy."

Hearing this, Fade Chen suddenly understood, looked at the people guarding the door, and said, "So, these people are waiting for the formal disciples of the academy and want to be their companions?"

"It's just that, in this way, I'm afraid the nature will change a little!"

Chen Fei was slightly worried.

The boss laughed and said, "Of course the nature has changed. These people outside, in order to curry favor with formal disciples, were selected as accompanying students. There are quite a few people who give money, goods, and people."

"Among them, some even donated their wives and daughters to each other in order to enter the academy as companion students."

"Ah, this—" Fade Chen was a little startled, but thinking about it carefully, under this kind of rules, it is completely conceivable for such a thing to happen.

At this moment, a clear bell rang in the academy.

The group of people guarding the door suddenly became excited, and their eyes were scarlet, staring at the door of the academy.

A moment later, an academy student in a green robe came out without haste.

Obviously, they are very familiar with the situation at the door.

Some disciples who still had places to accompany them directly stated their own conditions.

"Five hundred fire crystals! I can take them as companions."

"I need a four-level Starfire-level monster core."

………

There are also some formal disciples who did not directly ask for it, but scanned the crowd to see if there was anything they valued.

In just a moment, Fade Chen saw a few pretty girls being selected, followed the official disciples into the side entrance of the academy, and went through the formalities.

Of course, for the vast majority of people, they were not selected.

Among them, some were even slapped to the ground by the opponent's palm because of entanglement with the formal disciples, and spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously seriously injured.

However, the injured person obviously didn't dare to pursue responsibility, so he could only get up slowly and leave angrily.

After about a stick of incense, a bell rang again in the academy, and the disciples at the door went back.

The door was quiet again, and the remaining people who were not selected joined the people who had just arrived, and gathered at the door of the academy again, staring intently inside, waiting for the next opportunity to come.

Seeing such a scene, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh.

After drinking tea, Fade Chen got up and walked towards the academy.

The people at the door didn't think much of it when they saw Fade Chen coming. After all, in their view, Fade Chen was just like them, a person who came to compete for a place in the school.

Finally, when Fade Chen passed through the crowd and walked straight to the gate of the academy, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"What is that kid doing?"

"It's new here, I haven't seen it before."

"The newcomers don't know the rules, and they will be afraid when they are taught a lesson."

"There's a good show to watch."

………

Amidst a burst of whispered discussions, Fade Chen walked to the gate of the academy and walked towards a guard.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard with a fleshy face picked up the stick in his hand and stared at Fade Chen with malicious intent.

It seemed that as long as Fade Chen took another step forward, the big stick in his hand would fall on Fade Chen.

Fade Chen naturally also sensed the other party's malice, frowned slightly, and then said, "I'm here to participate in the assessment of Nanshan Academy."

"Participate in the assessment?" The guard was a little surprised, looked Fade Chen up and down, took back the big stick in his hand, pointed to the side door, and said, "Come here to register."
