Chapter 5 - Martial arts department assessment

Ye Fan got angry in the class, left Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, and returned to his old house in Luyang City.

This is a small courtyard passed down from the ancestors of the Ye family, giving him a stable place to stay in Luyang City. Although the courtyard walls and houses are very dilapidated, they are very clean and tidy both inside and outside.

There is not a trace of dust on the stool, chair and coffee table.

After returning home from the martial arts academy, Ye Fan took out an adventure book at a desk by the window and continued to study hard, seizing the time to learn the knowledge of the nine major departments.

Before long, he felt extremely tired and sleepy.

There is a price to pay for opening the "vast years" of the sacred book "Shang" and consulting the knowledge recorded in it.

In the last class today, every time he opened the mysterious ancient book in his consciousness, his mental power was greatly consumed.

In order to deal with Wang Mei Jiaoyu, Zhao Xing, Jiang Weiyun and Cao Shanshan, he read the ancient books four times in a row and exhausted all his mental strength.

Just now in the classroom, in order to feel proud in front of all the martial arts students, he could still hold on. But after I got home, I felt sleepy as soon as I read a book.

Ye Fan plopped down on the desk and fell into a drowsy sleep.

I don't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, Ye Fan woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window was bright and it seemed to be dawn.

"Didn't I just take a rest when I got home at noon? Why did it suddenly become early morning?... Oops, today is the Luyang Tenth Academy Joint Examination. Will I miss the exam time?!"

Ye Fan jumped up from his desk, looking a little flustered.

At this time, a calm voice sounded in his mind, "You have slept all afternoon and all night, and now it is the next morning. There is still enough time before your government examination."

Ye Fan was startled, "Why did I sleep for so long?!"

Shang complained: "I told you before, every time you read through 'The Vast Years', it will consume a lot of your mental power. Unless necessary, don't use it easily. Yesterday, you actually didn't even do it for the good-for-nothings in your class." After flipping through the book four times, my mental energy was severely exhausted, and I had to sleep for a long time before I could recover!"

Ye Fan immediately remembered that this was the voice of the mysterious ancient book "Shang" that broke into his mind.

Hearing Shang's complaints, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He doesn't want to either.

But Zhao Xing's group always bullied him, and he was really angry, so he retaliated against them. I just accidentally flipped through the book a few times, causing me to fall asleep all night.

Shang was a little helpless, "The main reason is that your mental power is too weak! Your mental power is estimated to be less than half of that of a warrior of the same level. It is incredibly weak. With your strength, it is difficult for me to get supplies from you. It's really not possible." You know how many tens of thousands of years it will take you to stay in your consciousness before you can regain the power of your heyday."

"Am I that weak?"

Ye Fan's heart was full of bitterness.

Although he was awesome yesterday, he is actually still the hard-working little warrior.

His martial arts talent and mental strength are less than half of others. No wonder he practices hard every day, but he is still far behind others in martial arts, and the gap is getting further and further away.

"By the way, if I run out of energy and use the divine book excessively, what will be the consequences? Will I faint on the spot?"

Ye Fan wanted to know.

Shang shook his head and said: "You won't faint! After you use up your mental power, your energy and blood will continue to be consumed. If your energy and blood are consumed to the point of exhaustion and death, your life span will continue to be consumed until your life span is exhausted. Until your soul is gone. So I'm warning you, don't overuse 'Martial God's Martial Arts' and 'The Vast Years', otherwise it will only make you die faster! I don't want you to die early and implicate me."

Ye Fan was surprised, "If you force yourself to read a book after losing your mental strength, will it consume your energy, blood and longevity?"

Shang nodded and said, "Of course. Do you think you don't need to expend energy to flip through such a thick ancient book?"

Ye Fan suddenly thought of a key question: "Then, do I have enough mental power to activate the 'Martial God's Martial Arts', and how many times can I use it?"

He is about to take the martial arts examination.

The assessment of the martial arts department is not just about reading the sacred books and talking a few words. You must show your true martial arts skills in front of the examiner.

His martial arts skills are too weak, so he needs the help of Shang's power to help him pass this test and enter the only high-level palace in Luyang Mansion.

Shang said calmly: "The mental power consumed by activating 'Martial God's Performance' is greater than the consumption of reading through 'The Vast Years'. With your pitiful mental power, it is estimated that you can only use 'Martial God's Performance' once a day, and only once a day." You can perform the lowest level of basic martial arts and perform "acting martial arts". If you use elementary and above martial arts or other techniques indiscriminately, it will directly consume your energy and blood, and even shorten your life! You are only one hundred now. My life span in the next year will not be able to withstand the hardships."

Ye Fan was a little surprised.

But fortunately, at least he can perform the God of War once.

Although it is only basic martial arts, there may be... a slight chance that he will pass the examination of the martial arts department of Luyang Mansion.

However, many of the thousands of martial arts students in the top ten martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture are in elementary martial arts, and even the children of wealthy families are learning intermediate martial arts.

I don't know if he has a good chance of being admitted to the martial arts department of the Fu Yuan.

"I won't tell you anymore. I have to go to the examination room quickly. Don't be late!"

Ye Fan quickly washed up, bought a steamed bun on the way to fill his stomach, and rushed to the examination room.

Because it is one of the top ten junior martial arts schools in Luyang Prefecture, it is a joint examination for promotion to Luyang Prefecture.

Therefore, the examination room was not in any martial arts academy, but in the famous courtyard of Luyang Mansion. All candidates must go to Luyang Mansion to take the exam.

...

Luyang City.

Central Street, Luyang Mansion covers an area of several hundred acres.

When Ye Fan hurried to the courtyard, the entire martial arts academy was surrounded by thousands of martial arts students and an even larger number of parents, relatives and friends. At the gate of the courtyard, two majestic stone lions several feet tall stood on top. Full of people.

There are also a large number of civilians watching the excitement in nearby restaurants, and the whole street is busy with traffic.

"Today is the Luyang Mansion, the most important martial arts department assessment! I have in my hand the secret Hercules pill passed down from my ancestors. After taking it, my strength will increase several levels, helping you to leap over the dragon's gate! Five taels of silver a pill, I bought it Don't suffer, don't be fooled!"

"I have a top-secret book in my hand. I am the top candidate in the martial arts department over the years. My experience in the examination room. Who wants it? It only costs ten taels of silver!"

"Fellow candidates, I have been traveling across the Canglan Kingdom for decades, and I have tried my best to calculate your fate. Let's see which department you can pass!"

There were stalls selling secrets, people traveling around telling fortunes, and people carrying burdens hawking. It was extremely lively.

There is no shortage of carriages from some wealthy families in Luyang Mansion. Many children from wealthy families in the city will also take part in this examination. The impact of the joint examination on the future of the major families will undoubtedly be far-reaching.

At the gate of the mansion, there is a bulletin board hanging high. Once the assessment results come out, they will be announced on this bulletin board with big red paper.

From the top ten martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture, the results of thousands of young martial arts students in the joint examination of the ten academies, as well as some honorary titles obtained during the examination process, will be made public.

And in the courtyard of Luyang Mansion, on the martial arts training ground.

A dense crowd of martial arts students lined up in dozens of long queues on the martial arts training field, waiting for the martial arts department assessment.

The joint examination of the ten academies includes nine major departments: "Martial arts department, rune department, beast control department, sacrificial department, business department, medicine refining department, weapon refining department, adventure department, and city lord department".

The most important of the nine departments is the martial arts department.

In the Shenwu Continent, the strong are respected.

Martial arts symbolizes the highest glory and is the core orthodox force of the human race.

Any martial arts student in any martial arts academy in the Shenwu Continent who wants to be promoted to a higher-level Martial Lord, Martial Marquis, Martial King, Martial Emperor... must take this department.

And if you are not good at martial arts, no matter how talented you are in the other eight disciplines, your achievements will eventually be limited.

Because an ordinary warrior has a lifespan of one hundred years, a Martial Master has a lifespan of 150 years, and a Wuhou has a lifespan of 300 years... The stronger the warrior, the longer his lifespan. If you don't have enough lifespan, even if you have amazing talents, you will still be unable to compare with others.

Of course, the other eight elements are also very beneficial to cultivation.

For example, the rune system can deepen your understanding of the mysteries of martial arts.

Another example is the medicine refining system. You can use medicinal materials to assist your practice and earn money.

Martial arts training consumes a lot of money, purchasing weapons, martial arts runes, body-tempering medicinal materials, etc.

If you study other departments at the same time, you can earn a lot of money for martial arts training.

Of course, if the martial arts student's family is very wealthy and he doesn't have to worry about money for training, he can skip taking exams in other departments and concentrate on practicing martial arts.

This kind of person who concentrates on martial arts is also called a true martial artist. He has no distractions and is devoted to martial arts.

The joint examination of the ten colleges will assess nine major departments in sequence. With so many martial arts students unable to complete the examination in one day, the entire joint examination will last nearly a month to complete.

The first day of assessment is the martial arts department.

Ye Fan went to the academy's teaching office, received a piece of his identity test card, and lined up on the school grounds, waiting for the martial arts department's assessment.

All the young martial arts students looked very nervous and serious. Many of them were dancing with their swords and gesticulating, mumbling incessantly, and racing against time to make final preparations.

There are also some martial arts students who have failed the assessment and were eliminated on the spot. They are leaving the examination room from the side of the school ground with depressed faces and crying.

This made the martial arts students who were preparing for the examination turn pale with fright, and their fingers clenched and turned white.

The admission rate of Luyang Fuyuan's martial arts department is one or two out of ten, which is very low. It is so low that most martial arts students feel despair.

Among the thousands of candidates, only less than 500 martial arts candidates were able to enter the Luyang Mansion.

Ye Fan felt sad and sympathized with those martial arts students who were eliminated.

His martial arts has always been weak. Among the thousands of young candidates, he is almost at the bottom. His chances of passing the examination are even lower, and his situation is not optimistic at all.

Fortunately, everyone was very nervous and no one would pay more attention to Mark.

Some martial arts students who were in the same class with Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices when they saw Ye Fan from a distance.

"Look, it's Ye Fan!"

"He said he wanted to come to the examination room yesterday, but he really dared to come and take the assessment! He is only at the first level of martial arts and only masters a few basic martial arts. With this little strength, he can't even compare to my little finger. He can pass the martial arts. Assessment?"

"You must be bragging."

"Let's follow him later to see how he tests and how embarrassed he is!"

Ye Fan's performance yesterday shocked them.

Although some people speculate that Ye Fan used insidious means to secretly collect their weaknesses. But before anyone saw Ye Fan's true strength, they would not dare to provoke Ye Fan easily.

Soon, a small group of more than a dozen martial arts students from the same class gathered near Ye Fan, looking at Ye Fan from time to time, talking with fear and caution in a low voice.

"Oh, isn't this the famous Ye Fan from our class!"

Ye Fan heard the familiar mocking voice and looked back.

With a playful smile on his face, Zhao Xing walked over with Jiang Weiyun and a group of followers including Wusheng in a swaggering manner, full of disdain and pride.

"Zhao Xing, what do you want to do? Don't you think yesterday was embarrassing enough?"

Ye Fan said coldly.

"Hmph, you are just evil-minded and talkative! Once you are tested with real swords and guns, you will be like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump for a few days, and you will have to wait for death!"

Zhao Xing said harshly, thinking of the heavy blow he suffered yesterday, his heart was filled with hatred, and his eyes flashed with sternness.

The few followers of Wusheng also slapped Zhao Xing on his ass and ridiculed him wildly.

"That's right, everyone can brag! Let's compete in the examination room with real weapons to find out who is pretending and who is really awesome."

"Brother Xing's strength is beyond words. He has mastered the intermediate sword skill "The Thirteen Sword Techniques of the Inclined Moon" to the seventh position. It is extremely powerful. He can cut down a big tree with one strike. How can he be like others? Comparable!"

"Unlike some people, their own strength is low and they can't learn basic martial arts. But they are suffering from paranoia, and they actually want to be admitted to the only palace in Luyang Mansion. It's really a small thing to shake a tree, and they don't know what they can do!"

"When the time comes, he will be embarrassed in the examination room. Let's see how he can show off to others!"

Zhao Xing held his head proudly and enjoyed their compliments.

He, Zhao Xing, has always been number one in the martial arts department in the class, and no one dares to challenge him in the martial arts department.

Yesterday, Ye Fan suddenly appeared and exposed the shortcomings of his sword skills in public. This was the most embarrassing time for him.

But it doesn't matter. If you have any grudges, report them every day.

Today he will use his true strength to severely defeat Ye Fan in the examination room, and regain his prestige as the top martial artist in the class!

"Yes, talking on paper and boasting are indeed of no use. Then wait a moment and we will see the real results in the examination room!"

Ye Fan smiled lightly and didn't care about the ridicule of several people.
