Fang Jie knew that of the hundreds of candidates who could enter the martial arts academy this time, half of them had the ability or potential to practice. The fact that these people can stand out among nearly 10,000 candidates is proof of their strength. As for the other half who have no power of cultivation, they are also outstanding in martial arts.
Candidates who enter the Yanwu Academy are very young, and even if they can practice, their cultivation power is not abnormally high. After all, there are only a few people like Xie Fuyao and Yu Xiao. And for some people who have just started to practice, it is not a great shame to be defeated by an experienced martial artist. Five years from now, ten years from now, maybe if he fights against his previous opponent, the opponent may not even be able to get close to him.
Those who have practiced at level five or above are the beings that pure martial artists would never dare to provoke.
¡°About one hundred, sixty or seventy people were led by the professor to the backyard of the Yanwu Academy, where Fang Jie and the others took the liberal arts exam. Fang Jie and Mo Xidao walked behind the crowd. Looking at the eager expressions on the faces of the candidates, Fang Jie no longer had the envy and jealousy he had before Fan Gu.
Fang Jie is not a saint, and he will be jealous of those who are stronger than him. He is not a mortal, so many people are jealous of him.
So even though Fang Jie is deliberately keeping a low profile now, the students are still turning their attention here. Fang Jie's performance in the exam was so dazzling that his originally unremarkable name was now well known in the imperial capital. Overnight, the people in Chang'an, a hundred miles away, all remembered this name. He was the second person to get excellent results in nine subjects of the Yanwu Academy examination more than a hundred years after the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
Sui people are inherently proud, not only proud of their own pride, but also proud of the power of the Sui Dynasty and proud of the pride of other Sui people.
And Fang Jie is not only the pride of Chang'an City now, when this news gets out, he will become the pride of the entire Sui Dynasty. As His Majesty said, this is an excellent sign. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Li Xiao, an outstanding member of the Nine Schools, was born. From then on, Emperor Taizong made great progress in expanding his territory. And this year, His Majesty the Emperor God Bless also has an outstanding student from nine subjects, so will the Great Sui Dynasty usher in another take-off?
On one side of the school grounds, there was a row of more than a dozen professors from the martial arts academy sitting there. There is a table in front of them, and a bench opposite the table. Students with potential for spiritual practice lined up in dozens of long lines and sat opposite the professor one by one to undergo testing. And the so-called test is to diagnose the pulse.
Professors from the Yanwu Academy learn about the students¡¯ cultivation level through pulse diagnosis, and also determine which direction they are suitable for practicing. According to the rules set by an unknown senior master, the power of cultivation is divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but the details are so detailed that everyone will be different, and the professors of the Yanwu Academy will differentiate according to each person's differences. individually formulate the direction of their practice.
This kind of treatment is best for those children from aristocratic families who have received guidance from experts since childhood, or for children from poor families who are completely left to explore on their own. No one dares to say that they are better at guiding practice than the professors at the Yanwu Academy, not even the Taoists from Qingle Mountain and Wudang Mountain.
Fang Jie was ranked sixth, and it was the female professor Qiu Yu with a pair of strange white eyes who tested the power of cultivation for his group of students.
Unlike other professors, Qiu Yu does not need to diagnose the pulse at all. She just sat there, staring at the student in front of her carefully for a while, then picked up a pen to write down the type of student in her notebook. Obviously, her white eyes have magical powers. Fang Jie knew that many people in the Yanwu Academy were gifted, and those professors did not achieve their current achievements and status solely through the power of practice.
It¡¯s not just the martial arts academy, such as Zhuo Buyi. The power of his thoughts is not acquired through practice, but is innate. Another example is Taoist Heji, the red-robed priest of the Taoist sect. The vertical eyes on his forehead are also natural. The understanding of Yong Jie is that these people with special powers are born to be strong.
Based on what he saw now, Fang Jie speculated that female professor Qiu Yu¡¯s talent was that her white eyes could see through people¡¯s physiques. You don't need to diagnose your pulse to determine which category a person's cultivation power belongs to. Of course, if it is just such a superpower, it does not seem to have much significance in actual combat, but it is more suitable to be a doctor.
Fang Jie then thought that if he did not become a professor, Qiu Yu might be able to make a lot of money if he was willing to be a gynecologist. Those white eyes are much more accurate than the instrument detection.
You are a boy, very healthy. You are a girl, very healthy Fang Jie had a scene in his mind of Qiu Yu wearing a white coat to examine pregnant women, and then he shook his head to get rid of this boring thought. Not willing to give in, he finally slightly modified the fantasy scene and put Qiu Yu into a short skirt nurse uniform.
If Qiu Yu could see through Fang Jie's mind like Zhuo Buyi, she would definitely crush Fang Jie into a ball.
?When it was Fang Jie's turn, he was still a little hopeful that this female professor with special powers could see some potential in him. Although he was sure that he could not practice or even had Qihai Dantian, Fang Jie still hoped to get a more detailed understanding of his body through testing.
But when Qiu Yu saw him, he just shook his head lightly: "You can go directly to the row of wooden houses at the back. I have seen you more than once, and no matter how I look, I can't see the sea of ??Qi in your body. I'm more curious. Why are you still so alive and well without Qi Hai? Logically speaking, you should be dead."
Although he had expected it, Fang Jie was still a little disappointed. He originally thought that Qiu Yu's white eyes could see something different, but obviously if there was nothing, there was nothing. There was nothing at all.
"Thank you very much"
Fang Jie leaned over to salute and walked towards the row of wooden houses behind. When he turned around, the students couldn't help but start whispering. Although they had heard that Fang Jie was a person who was unable to practice, they were still a little shocked when they confirmed this news from the professor of the Yanwu Academy.
How can a useless person who cannot practice achieve excellence in nine disciplines? Why would a guy who knows he can't practice come here to cause trouble and waste everyone's time?
Fang Jie was too lazy to pay attention to the comments that were getting louder. He straightened his clothes and stood at the door of the first room from the left in the row of wooden houses. He said respectfully: "Student Fang Jie, please see the dean."
There was silence in the room for a while, and a rather old voice said helplessly: "Although according to etiquette I should say please come in, but didn't you see the sign on the door? This is the toilet"
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie stood in the room awkwardly, not embarrassed to look up at the old man sitting opposite him. After all, just now, due to his habitual thinking and some nervousness, he didn't notice that the room was actually the dean's private toilet.
The old man sitting opposite him was indeed very ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that he was the dean of the Yanwu Academy, Fang Jie couldn't imagine whether he would be able to remember his appearance if such an ordinary old man met him on the street. . Just like those old elders in the imperial capital, they dress very casually, with plain clothes and shoes, and they always seem to have a smoking pipe at hand.
The dean¡¯s beard is very long, almost hanging down to his chest. But there was not a single white streak in his beard, and he looked as young as his hair. Moreover, there were no wrinkles visible on his face, and his face was as rosy as that of a young man. The forehead is very smooth, and there is no trace of the vicissitudes of life that an old man should have.
¡°If you only look at this face, it¡¯s hard to determine the dean¡¯s age. But Fang Jie just felt that the dean must be very old.
"Should I congratulate you on winning the championship first and then get down to business?"
Dean Zhou knocked the pipe in his hand and put it aside, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea before starting the conversation. Fang Jie thought for a while and replied: "The student thinks that you must be busy with a lot of things, so let's talk about business directly."
"Um"
Dean Zhou nodded and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious."
Fang Jie¡¯s mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer this sentence.
"Youshould know that you are actually a little lucky to have achieved excellent results in nine subjects."
Dean Zhou said after being silent for a while.
Fang Jie nodded and said: "The student knows that this is His Majesty's care and the dean's care. If the student can be admitted to the Yanwu Academy with his true ability, thank God. And what the student is sure of is that under your correct teaching, the student will definitely will achieve good results.¡±
"fart"
Dean Zhou curled his lips and said, "Is this what you think?"
"Well¡¡"
Fang Jie was not sure about Dean Zhou¡¯s character, so he was prepared to deal with it by trying to flatter him even though he was wearing a hat. Unexpectedly, this old man seemed not interested in his compliment at all, and even felt a little disgusted. Fang Jie knew that his strategy was wrong, so he immediately stood up straight and said seriously: "We can't win the first place, but we are still sure of getting into the top ten."
"This is like telling the truth. Your strength can be ranked among the top five students in this field."
Dean Zhou paused and said, "But do you know why you won the first prize?"
When Fang Jie heard this question, he thought of Wu Yiyi¡¯s instructions. When considering anything, think about His Majesty first. So he replied respectfully: "Because His Majesty wants me to win the first prize."
Dean Zhou frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "You are too slick, I don't like it."
Fang Jie was startled, thinking that this old man¡¯s temper was really weird.
Dean Zhou got up and walked to the window to look at those who were being tested outside.The students said calmly: "But it also proves that you are a smart guy. In this case, I will tell you the truth. You know that His Majesty wants you to win the championship, so you can naturally understand the meaning. So you have to be prepared Your Majesty has created a miracle with your own hands, and it will not be easily destroyed. But if one day someone gradually pulls this miracle down from its height and destroys it, what will your Majesty do?"
"The students don't know."
"His Majesty will destroy you with his own hands."
Dean Zhou said lightly: "His Majesty created you and made you a miracle. And if your future performance cannot continue to be a miracle, he would rather let the miracle die early than let it be shattered. If you are being chased, surpassed or even If His Majesty destroys you before you fall into the mortal world, you can still leave a legend for future generations. At the very least, a miracle is still a miracle, even if it is a miracle that died prematurely."
"In other words, you are His Majesty's face now. Of course His Majesty will defend you, but if it comes to the point where he can no longer defend you, will His Majesty allow others to slap him in the face?"
Fang Jie took a deep breath and asked after a moment of silence: "Dean, please clarify."
Dean Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it clear enough?"
Fang Jie said nothing because he knew that Dean Zhou must have something else to say. He brought himself here not just to remind himself.
"As I said just now, you are a smart person."
Dean Zhou sat back on his chair, looked at Fang Jie and asked with a half-smile: "So do you want to be a miracle all the time? Do you want to be a miracle like Li Xiao? Do you want to never be knocked down from the mortal world? Do you want to be a miracle?" To become a very powerful person? Do you want your name to still be legendary after a hundred years? If you want, I can help you, but I think I need to negotiate a condition with you."
Fang Jie couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, thinking that it turns out that Dean Zhou is also an insurance salesman.
"You say"
He smiled.
"Your physique is very special, so special that even I have never seen it before. So"
"You want to study me?"
Fang explained the question.
Dean Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said: "Research is a good word. Well, that's what I really think. If you are willing, we can continue talking."
¡°What¡¯s in it for me?¡±
Fang Jie simply let go, leaned forward slightly and said, "Be specific."
Dean Zhou paused, spread his hands and said seriously: "First of all I won't play you to death"
"All right!"
Fang Jie waved his hands and said, "I don't want to listen to other people."
