Chapter 90 Preliminary Round Rules

  "Is this the guy?" Ning Cheng looked at the white-clothed man who was cupping his fists in the applauding crowd, and suddenly felt a bit displeased. This person seemed to be only slightly older than him, yet he had already reached the peak of the sixth layer of Congenital Realm, and just needed one more step forward to enter the later stage of Congenital Realm.

  "It seems that his qualifications are not bad, he is only slightly older than me, yet he has already reached the sixth layer of condensing reality." Although Ning City was displeased with this guy named Shui Yu in his heart, he still admired his cultivation speed.

  Ji Luo Fei listened to Ning Cheng's words and said disapprovingly, "He is much older than you, I heard he is almost thirty years old. Moreover, he has a very pure double spirit root, and the Water family is the number one family in Huazhou, almost all the cultivation resources are piled up on him. In my opinion, he is not as good as you."

  "Let's find a place to settle down first, so you won't be seen by the people from your husband's family or your aunt." Ning Cheng didn't want to continue strolling on this main street anymore.

  Ji Luo Fei obviously didn't want to walk on the main street. If it wasn't for accompanying Ning Cheng, she wouldn't even come to Mo Ze City.

  ……

  When searching for an inn everywhere, Ning Cheng only then knew that Ji Luo Fei had indeed not spoken wrongly. The two people searched for almost two hours and the sky was already dark before they still couldn't find a place to stay.

  "Luó Fēi, since we can't find a place to live, let's just leave the city and live elsewhere." Ning Cheng said with some helplessness.

  Ji Luo Fei was just about to agree when a surprised voice said, "Ning Cheng? How did you end up here? Weren't you being chased by Gu Fei out of Cang Le City..."

  "Hou Chuan?" Ning Cheng recognized the person in front of him, Hou Chuan was one of the ten quotas selected by Cang Qin Second Star Academy. Moreover, at the entrance of Cang Qin Second Star Academy, Gu Fei challenged him, and Hou Chuan even took the initiative to help him say a sentence. At this time, there was also a beautiful girl standing beside Hou Chuan, who seemed to have come out with him.

  After recognizing Hou Chuan, Ning Cheng quickly understood that Hou Chuan was a student of Meteorite Academy. Since Meteorite Academy was in Mozecity, it was normal to see him here.

  Hou Chuan didn't finish what he was saying, but Ning Cheng understood his meaning. He had already been chased out of Cang Le City by Gu Fei, so how could he possibly appear in Mo Ze City, which was so far away from Ping An Zhou? Logically speaking, he should have been killed by Gu Fei long ago.

  "I really didn't expect to meet Brother Hou here. After Gu Fei and I left Cang Le City, the two of us had a big fight, and I was lucky enough to kill Gu Fei." Ning Cheng explained lightly, if it were someone else, he wouldn't even bother explaining.

  Hou Chuan obviously didn't believe Ning Cheng's explanation, and Gu Fei followed closely behind Gu Yi Ming. It would be strange if Ning Cheng had the time to have a big battle with Gu Fei. He didn't continue to ask questions, but instead looked at Ji Luo Fei standing beside Ning Cheng, and in his heart, he already understood that Ning Cheng must have come looking for Ji Luo Fei.

  At this time, his view of Ning City had completely changed. Several things that were fundamentally impossible to accomplish had been completed by Ning City. Not to mention escaping from the Gu brothers, even getting from Pingzhou to Huazhou was not easy. And even after arriving at Huazhou, finding Ji Luofei of the Fallen Star Academy was not an easy task either. Yet Ning City had accomplished all these things, and not only that, but he had done them extremely perfectly.

  It was just like before, when he looked at Ning City's cultivation, it seemed that nothing had changed, and he still couldn't see clearly. He had already reached the seventh layer of gathering energy, and he didn't believe that Ning City's cultivation could be higher than his.

  "Brother Ning, are you looking for a place to stay?" Hou Chuan's view of Ning Cheng had completely changed, and his tone was already tinged with a desire to make friends.

  "Yes, it's just that Mozhe City can't find a place to live." Ning Cheng said regretfully.

  Hou Chuan looked at Ji Luofei and said in confusion, "Sister Ji should be a student of Meteorite Academy, right? As long as Sister Ji reveals her identity, most inns can provide accommodation."

  Ning Cheng hastily said, "Lu Fei is no longer a student of Meteorite Academy. We didn't tell anyone when we came to Mozhe City either. Please, Brother Hou, don't mention that Lu Fei has come to Mozhe City."

  Hou nodded slightly, even if Ning didn't remind him, he wouldn't have spoken about this matter anyway. He simply wasn't a talkative person.

  "I'll come and help you take a look." With this simple offer, Hou Chuan had already decided to lend a hand.

  Hou Chuan brought Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei to the nearest inn, which was the same one that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei had visited earlier. However, this time Hou Chuan easily booked a room for Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei by showing his academy ID.

  Jing Cheng and Ji Luo Fei only booked a room, Hou Chuan didn't say much. After simply greeting Jing Cheng with a few words, he left the inn with the woman by his side.

  Ning Cheng lived with Ji Luo Fei, apart from the tight room and not wanting to trouble Hou Zhuan more, there was another reason that they could take care of each other. Once something urgent happened, the two could communicate at any time.

  "I had forgotten to ask Hou Chuan for help to make an appointment with Meng Yu Jing." After Hou Chuan left, Ning Cheng suddenly patted his head, he should have asked Hou Chuan about this first. It would be difficult to let him go find Meng Yu Jing.

  Ji Luofei shook her head, "Hou Chuan also can't see Meng Yujuan, you're making things difficult for him by asking for his help."

  "In that case, I'll think of a way myself. Mozhe Plaza has been recruiting students recently, I'll go to Qingyun Academy tomorrow, you stay in the residence and cultivate."

  Ning Cheng thought that although Ji Luofei had stayed in Mozecity for a short time, there must be many people who knew her. It was better to stay at the inn than to go out.

  Ning Cheng's thoughts were relatively simple. He and Ji Luo Fei wanted to go to the middle continent, so they had to join a five-star college. The phrase "under the big tree is good for shade" wasn't unreasonable after all.

  Qingyun Academy is the best choice, Ning Cheng believes that with his own ability, he should be selected into Qingyun Academy without any problem. As for Ji Lu Fei, he just used that one Qingyun Order.

  ……

  The next morning, Ning City came alone to the Moze Grand Plaza.

  So many colleges and sects came to Mozhe City to select disciples, Ning guessed that the Mozhe Grand Plaza that provided temporary residences for these sects was definitely not small.

  When Ning Cheng saw the Moze Square, he knew how big it was. Ning Cheng roughly estimated that the square was tens of kilometers in both length and width.

  The square was packed with numerous colleges and sects of all sizes, and the disciples who came to participate in the college selection were countless.

  Despite this, the logos of the five 5-star academies were still conspicuous, and Ning City's first glance caught sight of Qingyun Academy.

  Ning Cheng did not immediately go to the Qing Yun Academy's selection of disciples, but instead followed many people who had just arrived in Mozecity to watch the selection rules of various academies and sects, which were engraved on a huge stone tablet at the entrance of the square.

  After looking at the stone tablet and asking people around, Ning Cheng only then realized that his previous understanding was wrong. This time, so many colleges and sects gathered in Mozhe's Grand Plaza, it's not a selection of disciples, but rather a preliminary round. Only those with excellent results in the preliminary round can participate in the selection of disciples or continue to participate in the rematch.

  The rules for the preliminary round are clearly written, which is a written test. All monks who want to enter the second round of re-examination must pass the written test in the preliminary round, and only those who pass the written test can enter the second round of re-examination.

  There are two ways to obtain the written test qualification. First, those with pure spiritual roots or dual spiritual roots with a main spiritual root can directly go to any academy or sect to sign up. Second, cultivators with other spiritual roots can only obtain the written test qualification at academies or sects below five stars.

  Thirdly, there are five written exams in total, with 5,000 people each time. One is held every month for five consecutive months.

  Ning Cheng secretly sighed, there were so many cultivators in Mozecastle, but only 25,000 people could participate in the first round of written examination. In other words, more than 90% of the people didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the first round.

  However, Ning City also knew that this was already very fair. Everyone who came here had many chances. So many sects, one by one, said that they might encounter a sect that gave them a qualification for the preliminary round. The preliminary round alone took half a year, and there was plenty of time.

  "If I don't get a written test qualification, doesn't that mean there's no chance to participate in the preliminary round?" Someone immediately asked out of surprise, apparently thinking this rule is not reasonable.

  "Every sect has a quota for participating in the preliminary written test, although low-level sects and colleges below five-star have limited quotas. If you're capable, how can you not get it? If you're not capable, what's the point of participating?" Someone immediately retorted beside him.

  "You also know that the quota is limited, and if everyone secretly operates behind closed doors, the quota will be allocated long ago. Can we wait?" Those who previously thought the rules were not suitable still don't think so.

  That person who refuted him also got tired of continuing to pay attention to him, but he didn't care, and someone on the side spoke up, "Are you stupid? Do you know how big a reward it would be for a low-level sect or academy to send one student to a five-star academy? You can't even imagine. This isn't the main point either. If any academy or sect has someone who makes a big splash in the preliminary written exam, that academy will immediately become famous, and soon more people will flock to it. The academy or sect advancing is an obvious thing. In this situation, who would dare to secretly manipulate things unless they're tired of living? The more talented you are, the more welcome you'll be in a low-level academy or sect."

  "This I know, last month was the fourth preliminary round, a two-star college selected a student with a score of 76 points in the preliminary round, and as a result was selected to go to Qingyun College. This two-star college also promoted to three-star college because of this, and got a lot of resources."

  "What is that pen testing?" someone else asked.

  "Who knows? If you knew, would they still ask you to take a written test? I only know that the content of the five preliminary exams was all different."

  ……

  Ning City has figured it out. If the qualifications are good, you can go directly to Wuxing Academy and represent Wuxing Academy in the preliminary written examination. If the qualifications are not good, you can find a low-level academy or sect to get a quota, and then represent the low-level academy or sect in the written examination.
