Giant Rock Warrior Academy, after walking through the square and bell tower, and a section of forest road, there is a patchwork of elegant houses in the forest. This is the center of power of the martial arts academy, where the masters and superiors rest and handle affairs.
The elegant and spacious Dean Currie has rows of bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, green vines climbing the walls, and some landscape paintings hanging on the walls, adding to the tranquility. An unfinished Go game was placed on the mahogany board by the window. Although the white stones and the black stones were crisscrossed, the white stones occupied all nine star positions including Tianyuan. Looking out the window, there was a clear blue sky.
Tap tap tap Following the sound of heavy footsteps, Gai Kui walked in holding a roll of paper. He looked at the middle-aged man standing behind the desk, concentrating on painting. Just as he was about to speak, the man had already spoken. He said softly: "Gai Kui, have the results of this year's new warrior assessment come out?"
"Yes." Gai Kui walked slowly. The middle-aged man was wearing an elegant white robe, with long flowing hair, a handsome face, and a neat goatee on his chin. His whole person was as calm as late autumn. He was a warrior that Gai Kui could not see through. Realm, a realm that is far away. He reported: "Dean Qi, five people passed the final assessment this year. These are their registration forms and examination papers."
After saying that, he put the paper in his hand into the empty space beside the table. Although the quota for this year was ten, only five people survived in the end and became new warriors. They were all from the same gang, just as the young man shouted, anyone who didn't follow him would die.
The middle-aged man did not look at the information. He continued to wave the brush in his hand without looking up. After a few more strokes, he suddenly said: "Five people, even less than the reserved quota." Halfway through, those guys should be satisfied. Anyone special this time?"
Thinking of the entire four levels of the assessment, it was natural to mention one person. Gai Kui immediately said: "There is an eighteen-year-old boy named Xin Lie."
When the man heard this, he just said "Oh?", but also showed a trace of curiosity. This question was just a routine matter. In previous years, Gai Kui would say no, but this year?
"This Xinlie is extremely talented, proficient in fighting, strategic, brave, witty, decisive, and different from ordinary people. This person is very backbone and ambitious, and is a leader among ordinary people." Gai Kui's voice Although his words were dull, he could not hide his appreciation in his heart. He also talked in detail about his performance in saving people and killing eagles, and fighting against everyone in the last hurdle. At the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "I have been the examiner for ten years, and I have never failed to do so. I¡¯ve never seen such a character.¡±
The man was silent for a moment. According to what it sounds like, not only in Gai Kui¡¯s ten years, but also in all years of the Juyan Martial Arts Academy¡¯s new warrior assessment, that young man was an unprecedented hero He nodded and said: "Pay more attention to him."
"Yes." Gai Kui hesitated to speak, swallowed his words back, and retreated silently.
The middle-aged man continued to write ink, and the elegant house became quiet. After a long time, a frozen valley with heavy snow suddenly appeared on the paper. He picked up a jade seal on the table and stamped it on the edge of the scroll. Boom, the Qi family's wheat totem and a name were printed on the scroll.
He then took the test papers and information, flipped through them and read them for a while. Suddenly he smiled faintly and whispered: "Dream? There is always a price to pay for chasing dreams. Xin Lie, how much can you pay"
¡¡
The latest issue of "Big Rock Warrior Times" is freshly released with the smell of ink, and this year's list of new civilian warriors is published!
Di newspapers, tabloids, miscellaneous newspapers, the Times After hundreds of years of development, coupled with the rise of spiritual energy technology, the media industry in Kyushu is now very developed.
Like other media industries, all legal newspapers are subject to government supervision and participation. "Juyan Warrior Times" is one of the major newspapers in Dongrao, with the highest circulation. It not only covers the Juyan area, but is also sold to other states. Every issue, it publishes some current affairs among warriors in Dongrao, such as who has broken through to what martial arts realm, which family has discovered a treasure where, as well as some martial arts competitions, marriage situations, etc.
Of course, generally speaking, it is only circulated among the warrior class. This is also written into the law. Civilians are not allowed to read warrior newspapers. However, without causing trouble from the gossip team, sometimes some news will spread through the mouths of the public. go.
The same is true this time. Although the report about the new warriors is posted in the corner of the martial arts page, it is enough to attract the attention of interested people. The warriors in the entire Giant Rock City were the first to know the news, and it quickly spread to the public through the servants. In the year 383 of the New Calendar, five civilians stood out and were recruited by the Giant Rock Martial Academy as the first generation of civilian warriors. They are, Xin Lie, Cheng Lei, Huang Yu, He Zhong, Tian Cang.
"Affected by the wind and snow, this year's assessment was more difficult than before." Wu Zonggaikui, who has served as the examiner for the tenth consecutive year, was interviewed by the Times. His comment said: "These five people are all brave and resourceful.Generations, especially Xin Lie, are truly outstanding among the common people and can be of great use. I hope that after entering the martial arts academy, these five people will be diligent, respectful, and conscientious in their duties, so as to live up to their reputation as martial artists. "
??????????? In martial arts schools, restaurants, streets everywhere people are talking about the list of new warriors. If there are any warriors who have the least power and strength, civilians can talk about it with confidence, it is these five lucky guys.
"Xin Lie? Was he the idiot who bumped into the examiner?", "That guy was stupid, he was ninety-ninth in the literary test.", "Xin Lie was indeed brave. He saved a woman when he was crossing the bridge. Without him, I might have died."
Those eliminated who are still in the giant rock naturally have complicated emotions. There are countless people who are jealous, and there are also many people who are happy and lamenting. Some of the deeds in the assessment, such as Xin Lie saving people and killing eagles, have also been spread.
A four-wheeled carriage climbed onto the bridge and headed towards the Martial Arts Academy. In the elegant carriage, a pair of slender white jade hands turned over a page of the newspaper, and suddenly a crisp and happy shout rang out: "Xin Lie, that's that person! He passed the test!"
"Who is it? Xin Lie?" Looking at the eldest lady's bright smile, the maid Yuxiang's face was full of confusion, and she could hardly understand what she was talking about. clatter! Xuanyuan Tianyu hit Yuxiang on the head and said with a smile: "I really don't remember, it was the man at the small ferry a few days ago." Yuxiang tried hard to recall the scene that day, snowflakes, crows, bread, big The young lady was talking to a boy She suddenly remembered who it was and said: "The tall, handsome guy with a blue scarf on his forehead"
Tianyu nodded: "Yes! That's him." Yuxiang whispered: "You never told me his name is Xin Lie."
"No?" Tian Yu was startled, as if there really wasn't, da! She hit herself on the head, pointed to the corner of the newspaper, and said with a happy smile: "No matter, look, he is a new warrior!" Yuxiang looked at it with interest: "Not bad."
"Well, but how difficult is this year's assessmentwhy are there only five people?" Tian Yu raised her eyebrows curiously. The assessment methods for new warriors in various martial arts schools are different in different places, and in fact, she doesn't know much about it. If it weren't for Xin Lie, she wouldn't care about the specific assessment in her hometown and in Juyan. She just didn't understand it, and she never had any intention of understanding it.
Of course she knew that the assessment was very strict and that the new warriors¡¯ temperament, abilities, qualifications and other aspects were all elites among the common people, but she had heard that there were twenty people last year? This year there are only five.
"A lot of people died" Yuxiang sighed. Only this reason can explain it.
Tian Yu frowned, and it was also because of this that she did not want to understand. She hated war, hated conflict, hated frivolous competitions, in short, hated anything that could kill people. The thought of hundreds or even thousands of people dying because of assessments , she felt Tianyu couldn't help puffing up her cheeks, and said angrily: "Isn't there an assessment method that doesn't involve dead people? There are hundreds of people here, hundreds of people there It shouldn't be like this!"
"You, don't think about it. You shouldn't think about these things, and you don't understand." Yuxiang patted the shoulder of this eldest lady and good sister, knowing that she was a good person, but this girl has always been Too simple Yuxiang didn't point out that hundreds of people happened hundreds of years ago.
Tian Yu didn't say anything and continued to read Gai Kui's comments. When he saw it, he said "Huh!", then he raised his eyebrows in surprise and excitement and said: "Look, look, 'Xin Lie is the most important' , 'It can be of great use'! To be praised by Mr. Gaikui like this, ha, Xin Lie is so awesome!"
Although she came to Dongrao for a short period of time to study, she knew the style of Mr. Gaikui, who was admired by his family and highly respected in the Juyan Martial Arts Academy. It could be said that he would never praise anyone, no matter whether he was a member of a famous family or a commoner, in order to get him to say "Not bad" "I don't know how difficult it is. I will be happy for days if I receive even a few compliments, and spread the news everywhere. However, I still haven't heard the news about the Gaikuizan people. Now Xinlie!
She was immediately filled with curiosity. What kind of outstanding performance did Xin Lie have that made "Mr. Iron Mask" Gai Kui praise him so highly?
Yuxiang didn¡¯t seem to feel any joy and said lightly: ¡°He has always been a commoner warrior.¡±
"But" Tian Yu wanted to refute something, but she just thought of Yuxiang's life experience and other things. Although she didn't agree with it, she couldn't refute it and could only pout.
Yuxiang has another consideration. Gai Kui's praise may be well-intentioned, but has he ever thought about how those disciples from famous families who did not receive his praise would think of this generation of civilian warriors? She shook her head and said, "The man in the iron mask had good intentions and did bad things this time. That Xin Lie really made a mess for no reason."
"Really?" Tian Yu immediately understood what she meant. She frowned just now, but suddenly her face was full of interest, "He is here today"Home? I have to find him, we are friends. Hearing this, Yuxiang took a breath of surprise and said, dumbfounded: "My eldest lady, do you think he is not troublesome enough?" One Gaikui is enough for him, so why don't you join in the fun? Oh my God! Do you want him to die? "
"What, idiot!" Tian Yu punched her angrily and said seriously: "Mr. Gai Kui should not care about it anymore, but now that I have come forward, whoever wants to bully him must think about it first!"
This is true. Yuxiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, that makes sense." Tianyu raised his eyes, thinking about how it would be interesting to meet Xin Lie, right? I hope he won't be afraid because of her identity
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? The carriage drove slowly into the martial arts courtyard, and the guards raised their hands in solemn salute. Until the carriage passed the offensive and defensive statues and entered the square and was far away, they still did not lower their hands on their hearts. No one had the slightest thought of disrespect. The person sitting in the carriage was a princess of the family; and the star totem represented the overlords of the Central Plains and Dongyuan states.
The most powerful family in mainland China, the head of the eight major families, and the only ancient and famous family that dominates the two states, Xuanyuan.

"Hillbilly Week" has come to an end, and the teachers and students of Juyan Martial Arts Academy who are most enthusiastic about this matter are talking about it. If in previous years, this matter was just a small breeze, and many people were not even interested in glancing at the corner of the newspaper; then this year Because of the harsh treatment, one stone stirred up a thousand waves and created another storm!
It can be of great use! According to the evaluation of "Mr. Iron Mask" Gai Kui, in the past, not to mention praise, his continuous interviews were all conducted by the Deputy Examiner and the others, but now he actually said that he was "very useful", a first-generation civilian warrior! ? Is his mind okay? Could it be that the training went wrong?
And who is that "Xin Lie"? What's the point?
In a dimly lit tavern, an unshaven man poured wine into a wine bowl while looking at the crumpled copy of "The Giant Rock Warrior Times" in his hand. While drunk, he suddenly remembered something and let out a series of "hahahaha" laughs. With a loud sound, he grabbed the big bowl of overflowing wine and drank it all
In the library, in front of rows of huge bookshelves reaching the roof, several famous warriors with different totems were reading martial arts materials. A young man in white came over holding a roll of newspapers and said mysteriously: "The results of the new warrior assessment are out, you will never expect it. There is a guy who was praised by Gai Kui as being of great use." Everyone was suddenly surprised and hurriedly went to fight for the newspaper, "Are you kidding me?", "Which nonsense tabloid is this?", "Who is it? ah!?"
"Especially Xin Lie" The young warriors who came to observe the stars at the observatory had low voices and unblinking eyes. They almost used the brass telescopes in front of them to identify the authenticity of the newspapers in their hands. It¡¯s fake, but they know it¡¯s true!
In the martial arts arena, several young men and women wearing wheat totem costumes were competing in martial arts. The auras bursting out from the swords collided in a brilliant way. Everyone laughed and said: "You have made new progress, haven't you?", "Look. It's just around the corner to break through to the martial arts realm!" At this time, several red-bellied sea eagles flew from the sky. Before they landed, a few teenagers jumped off the eagles' backs and walked towards them quickly, "New things, new things !¡±
"What's there to care about those country bumpkins? What a waste of time.", "Can they be of great use?", "Say it again!", "Why should he be?", "Courageous and resourceful? He can't even read." !"
Various voices sounded in Juyan Martial Arts Academy, including surprise, confusion, ridicule, anger, embarrassment, confusion These words all mentioned a person's name.
¡°Xin Lie.¡±, ¡°Xin Lie.¡±¡
