Chapter 446 - Outside the Institute

It was the first time that An Zheng had felt this familiar and unfamiliar with the capital of the Da Xi, Jin’ling. This used to be the place where he fought and lived. There were too many meetings here. An Zheng almost could not control his own footsteps, because if he continued walking forward, he would reach the end of the main street which was the Ming Fa Si.

It was a kind of subconscious impulse to go home, as An Zheng viewed the Ming Fa Si as his former home.

However, An Zheng resisted, and he could only endure.

Three Academies was two hours away from here. An Zheng did not plan to go to the Academy today. There were many inns near the academy. Most of the participants would choose to stay in advance to recuperate before entering. Because any mistake in detail could cause his life to not havurning point. How many people saw the Three Academies as their starting point of their dreams?

An Zheng also had to do this, the Three Academies was not the martial arts institute of the State of Yan, it walace like the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao. The Three Academies’s assessment was harsh, and was one of the top in the world. An Zheng had to let someone energetic and completely focused to take the examination, because even if he was chosen to join the second round, he would have a limit on the number of people per day. Once he reached that number of people, he would immediately close the door.

And Three Academies only held this kind of disciple referral test four hours a day in the afternoon. Therefore, an unwritten rule had been formed outside the Three Academies. Every morning, a lot of people would gather outside the Three Academies’s Second Courtyard, and these people would risk their lives for one spot in the afternoon. Those who showed their prowess in the morning would have a greater chance of becoming disciples of the Second Court.

There were really too many young geniuses in the outside world.

But An Zheng did not plan to stay at the inn over there. There were many people walking around, and it was too noisy. As long as they didn’t kill anyone in this fight, the Da Xi government would not interfere.

An Zheng chose Qing Zhai, and there was a branch of Qing Zhai not too far away from the Three Academies. An Zheng had the identity badge that Tan Taiche gave him, so he could get the best help from any of Qing Zhai’s stores.

Just as the sun was about to set in the south, An Zheng was already at Qing Zhai’s door.

An Zheng took out his order badge after entering the door, and said three sentences: “Give me a quiet room, I want to rest.” Bring mot meal after dark. It’s simple, so don’t get greasy. The third was thank you.

This Qing Zhai shopkeeper welcomed An Zheng in with a face of bewilderment, and arranged everything for An Zheng with a face of bewilderment. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand what this person, who came from such a long distance away, was trying to do, who did not know what relationship he had with his owner. An Zheng did not even say another word, which made him worry a little.

Fortunately, the order badge was real, the shopkeeper could not see any problems, so An Zheng’s request was met.

In a quiet room, An Zheng fell asleep the moment he entered. When it was dark, there was a knock on the door. An Zheng got up and took the food over. The food was light and simple, not greasy at all, as per An Zheng’s request. After eating until he was full, An Zheng sat in meditation for half an hour, then stood up and stretched for a while. After he consumed a bit of food, he took a hot bath, and even snuggled in the large bathtub for a while.

After showering, An Zheng laid on the bed again and slept until the sun was about to rise. Then, An Zheng stood up, meditated, recuperated his breathing, and smoothly operated the Cultivation Power. When the sun had not risen from the east and was just starting to turn white, An Zheng washed his face and brushed his teeth, changing into a clean black robe. After confirming that he had brought all the things he needed, he walked out of Qing Zhai.

The shopkeeper did not sleep for the whole night, so when he saw An Zheng leaving, he ordered people to keep an eye on him. When they saw An Zheng running towards the Three Academies, they finally reacted.

An Zheng was not allowed to use any precious magical equipment during his trip to the Three Academies, or even any examinations or competitions in the future. This was Da Xi, the moment his Purple-Rank treasures were revealed, he would immediately be killed.

It was already a sea of people outside the Three Academies. From afar, there seemed to be at leashousand people gathering, and after a while, there would be even more people. The square at the entrance of Three Academies was already packed full, it was just a second courtyard.

He was still far away when An Zheng heard someone shouting.

“Everyone! Offended! We never knew each other, nor did we hate each other, but I had no choice but to do so in order to enter the academy. Those who are willing to accept my challenge, please come over. If no one is willing, then I will go ahead and challenge them.

“Come! “Who’s afraid of who!”

Voices rose and fell.

An Zheng knew that there was a white line ten metres away from the gate of the second courtyard. Anyone who thought that they had the qualifications to be one of the fifty people here, would walk inside the white line by themselves. But as soon as you walk in, someone will challenge you. Either fight to the point where no one dares challenge you, or persevere until there are thirty of you. As long as you can win thirty, then you have the right to participate. However, even if he won thirty, he might not be able to pass the exam. He would only be able to obtain the qualification to participate in the exam.

The crowd began to boil, no one was willing to expend their strength at this time. Even if they won, who could guarantee that they could persist through the challenges of thirty people? Rather than fighting right now, they might as well wait until the gate of the Second Court was about to open before rushing forward. At that time, those who rushed into the white line first would naturally be able to enter.

Therefore, many people wouldn’t sleep in order to gain the right to advance. They had even been standing guard at the entrance to the Second Courtyard for a long time. However, if one was in the front row, they might not necessarily be able to enter.

There were already people fighting in front of him, and An Zheng could smell the smell of blood.

He raised his hand and patted the man in front of him on the shoulder, “Excuse me, I would like to enter the white line.”

The tall and sturdy guy turned his head to look at An Zheng, and snorted: “You think you can pass if you want to? You can go if you want to? ”

An Zheng nodded: “I know the rules.”

He raised his hand, grabbed the sturdy man’s collar and threw him a hundred meters away. The man fell to the ground in confusion, unable to stand up for a long while.

An Zheng patted the second person’s shoulder. That person saw all of it and stepped aside.

The third person that turned around to look at An Zheng was a young man who looked to be around twenty years of age. He was looking at An Zheng and An Zheng was looking at him.

“I don’t want to fight you so soon, but I don’t want you to go either. What should I do?”

he asked An Zheng.

An Zheng replied: “Simple. If you hit me, I won’t retaliate.”

The young man was stunned for a moment before he smiled. He raised his leg and kicked at An Zheng’s lower abdomen. This kick went straight for the Dantian Qi Sea. If he were to land a hit on the Dantian Qi Sea, the result would be obvious.

An Zheng looked at the man’s feet coming over, his expression unchanging. The ferocious looking young man realised that An Zheng did not dodge, and his expression changed. He stopped right in front of An Zheng’s lower abdomen, and blew at An Zheng’s clothes. Stunned, he swore at Madman and made way.

An Zheng said thank you, and turned his head after walking over: “You’re not bad.”

The young man glanced at An Zheng: “Who cares?”

An Zheng found this person very interesting: “May I know your name?”

This somewhat dark skinned but spirited young man looked at An Zheng as if he was looking at a monster: “Are you here for a blind date? If that’s not the case, then you talk too much nonsense. ”

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and walked forward to paerson’s shoulders.

After the young lad saw An Zheng throw six or seven people out, the corner of his mouth rose: “Old man, I thought I was a fierce man, but this guy is even fiercer.”

He looked in front of him and shouted, “I’m Xiahou Gong! What’s your name?!”

“My name is …” Du Shaobai. ”

An Zheng made up a name at random and continued forward.

The examiner of Three Academies’s Second Courtyard was sitting leisurely on the gatehouse with his legs crossed, watching the sea of people below. Those people were so fanatical that he didn’t get tired of doing the same job every day. Because what he loved to do the most was to suppress the fanaticism of those young people and pour cold water on them. There were two people sitting opposite him. One of them was a white-faced scholar who appeared to be around 30 years old and was holding onto a book. He seemed to be engrossed in it, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the woman sitting not far away.

The woman was very beautiful, and she had an aura as tranquil as water. Although her appearance couldn’t be considered first-rate, but her clothing, coupled with her body’s temperament was quite attractive. The woman looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. She had been staring blankly at the crowd outside the entire time.

The white-faced scholar was called Li Molin, perhaps because his parents thought that the four words’ silence is gold ‘were very good, so they gave him this name. The woman was called Xi Qingdeng and was one of the instructors in the Three Academies. Because one of the previous examiners was not here, Xi Qingdeng normally would not come to the entrance. She liked to be quiet, to be alone. Li Molin’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable, so she chose to look at the noise coming from outside.

There was a fight outside, a very fierce one.

Xi Qingdeng frowned slightly. She didn’t like it, but he didn’t look away.

Niu Zaiye crossed his legs and said, “Look at those people at the bottom level, they are trying their best to climb up here. They feel like they can reach the sky in one step if they enter this door. “What a joke. A loach is a loach. We have to tell them the truth.”

Li Mo Jin closed the book in his hand and smiled faintly: “That’s right, the fight outside is so heated, but there isn’t a single person that caught my eyes.”

Niu Zaiye said, “Brother Li, you have such extravagant hopes. Among this group of people, what kind of true geniuses do you think you can produce? ”

Li Mo Jin looked at Xi Qingdeng: “Junior Sister, what do you think?”

Xi Qingdeng: “Hmm? “Oh …”

Li Mo Jin was stupefied for a moment, and his face revealed slight unhappiness.

“That person.”

At this time, Xi Qingdeng raised his beautiful finger and pointed outside: “Very good.”

Niu Zaiye and Li Molin both looked out. They saw a teenager in black standing outside the group, looking like a longsword that separated the waves. One, steady, determined, strolling. After throwing people all the way from the back, he soon arrived at the white line and raised his head to look at it.

The boy’s eyes were calm, as if nothing could stop him.
