Luyang Mansion.
On the back mountain, there is an elegant pavilion with a view halfway up the mountain.
There is an antique bluestone table in the pavilion. There is a stone chair next to the table, and an honest elder is sitting there.
Around him, ten elegant middle-aged people stood, arguing fiercely about something.
If there are any martial arts students who are familiar with the top ten junior martial arts schools of Luyang Mansion and the Luyang Mansion School passing by, they will be shocked to find that they are Mu Fengshan, the old dean of Luyang Mansion School and the top ten junior martial arts schools of Luyang Mansion. long.
Luyang Mansion is the only high-level martial arts academy in the realm of Luyang Mansion.
The old dean, Mu Fengshan, is not only the dean of Luyang Mansion, but also the head of the Mu family, one of the three aristocratic families in Luyang. Within the territory of Luyang Mansion, he can be said to be the most highly respected person.
Almost half of the deans of the top ten junior martial arts academies are direct disciples of Mu Fengshan, and they control half of the junior martial arts academy in Luyang Prefecture.
Every year on the day of the joint examination of the ten academies, all the junior deans would gather here to drink fragrant tea with the old deans and argue about the merits of the disciples of each martial arts academy.
Although they all come from the same school, they still get red-faced when arguing.
They were arguing about the possible results of each academy's joint examination of the martial arts department of the top ten martial arts academies.
"Our Nanchen Martial Arts Academy has not won the first place in the martial arts department for many years. This year, a good martial arts genius came out. Zhao Feiyang of the Zhao family is finally proud! This year's number one in the martial arts department is none other than our Nanchen Martial Arts Academy. belongs!"
The director of Nanchen Martial Arts Academy smiled quite proudly.
The dean of Shanglongwuyuan disagreed: "That's not necessarily true. Wang Lie from my Shanglongwuyuan is equally outstanding. There is a high chance that he will perform well and win the championship in one fell swoop!"
"Why, you're still not convinced! Why don't we take a gamble? If Zhao Feiyang wins the first place, give me the top-quality Donglai Kirishima Spiritual Tea."
"You are so cruel. I bought my spiritual tea from a merchant for a thousand taels of gold...just bet! If you lose, you have to pay for your precious purple mountain coral, which is worth a lot."
"OK!"
"Please ask the old dean to be a witness, so that you won't cheat on me!"
The two had a heated argument and asked Dean Mu to be a witness for them.
"What do you two mean? Could it be that this year's top spot in the martial arts department is taken by your two martial arts schools?"
"You two are so disrespectful! We haven't expressed our opinions yet!"
"This year, I am not good in the martial arts department of Beilu Martial Arts Academy, but in the rune department, I will torture you like a dog! Now let you two be proud, and wait for the next rune exam!"
The other deans expressed their dissatisfaction.
Dean Mu smiled and looked at the deans arguing with red faces. He did not answer, but was thinking about something.
There was constant competition, but the major junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture were all vying for the top spot in the martial arts department, which made him, the old dean, quite pleased.
On the road to martial arts, only through competition can you grow the fastest.
Whether it is the Canglan Kingdom, the Zixuan Dynasty, or even the entire Shenwu Continent. The competition for the road to martial arts supremacy is extremely fierce, and the competition between the four major races is even more cruel.
There are only a few years left of the Holy Spirit's "Thousand-Year War and Treaty". Once the Zixuan Dynasty and the Orc Alliance start a war, all humans in the entire continent will be recruited and involved in this brutal and bloody war that will last for thousands of years.
Even though Luyang Mansion is just a small city in Donglai County of Canglan Kingdom, it still needs to cultivate a strong sense of competition.
...
After the martial arts department assessment was over, two anxious figures hurried to the back mountain pavilion to pay homage to Dean Mu.
One of them is the examiner of the martial arts department. In fact, he was not too anxious, but he was shocked and wanted the old dean to know what happened in the examination room as soon as possible.
The other person is General Manager Zhao of Zhao Mansion.
This General Manager Zhao is really anxious. Master Feiyang's being taken away from the top spot will definitely make the Zhao family leader furious. The head of the family was furious, and he, the general manager, was definitely to blame.
"Old Dean, there was an accident in the martial arts department examination room. Also, the Chief Manager of the Zhao Mansion asked to see him to protest against the results of this examination!"
The chief examiner of the martial arts department took the chief manager of Zhao Mansion to a few feet outside the pavilion and reported to Dean Mu.
"Oh, what's the accident? Come in, let's talk and listen."
Old Dean Mu Fengshan was a little strange.
Also, what is Manager Zhao protesting about?
The examiner took a few steps forward and entered the pavilion, bowed and cupped his hands and said clearly: "In the martial arts department assessment over the years, the top ten were basically occupied by the children of the eight wealthy families. Therefore, in this martial arts department assessment, the top ten were originally It has been roughly determined, and there was no surprise at first. However, a young man suddenly appeared near the end of the assessment and scored a high score of 500 points. He defeated the talented young man Zhao Feiyang of the Zhao family and won the first place in the martial arts department. The Zhao family The superintendent protested, saying that there was fraud in the examination room, and asked the government to investigate the matter thoroughly."
And the chief manager of the Zhao Mansion was still waiting respectfully outside the pavilion about a foot away, not daring to make any mistakes.
Dean Mu and the deans of the top ten junior colleges sitting here have the power to admit all martial arts students within hundreds of miles of Luyang Mansion.
Any patriarch of a wealthy family in Luyang Mansion would not dare to show off his power in front of Dean Mu, let alone the head of a family.
"Zhao Feiyang from Nanchen Martial Arts Academy actually lost the top spot! It seems that Wang Lie won the first place?!"
"That's probably the case!"
All the deans were very surprised and started talking one after another.
"Haha, I was right as expected. Your Torai Kirishima Spiritual Tea lost to me."
The dean of Shanglong Wuyuan was overjoyed and said to the dean of Nanchen Wuyuan.
The dean of Nanchen Martial Arts Academy suddenly had a bitter look on his face.
"Someone overtook Zhao Feiyang and took the top spot. This is indeed a bit unexpected!"
Dean Mu frowned and said thoughtfully, "But, has there been any fraud in the examination room?"
His tone was flat, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
The examiner immediately swore: "There is absolutely no fraud! If any examiner is biased and makes the score fluctuate by two or three points, it is really possible. But the boy scored 500 points higher than Zhao. Feiyang is a full fifty points higher. All test centers in the entire school are open, thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, who dares to cheat? Who can cheat!"
"Oh, so, then this young man's achievements are real achievements. Who is so capable that he can defeat the Zhao family's unparalleled martial arts genius in recent years?! It was Wang Lie from the Wang family who suddenly broke out, Or are the disciples of the Feng, Lin and other families hiding their strength?"
Dean Mu was surprised and interested in the young man mentioned by the examiner.
"No! This candidate is not a child of any wealthy family in Luyang Mansion. This person is from a poor family. He has always been unknown, but he suddenly broke out in the martial arts examination!"
The examiner said.
"A child from a poor family?"
Dean Mu couldn't help but be surprised.
"How can this be!"
"In our Luyang Mansion, it has been three hundred years since any disciple from a poor family has entered the top five in the martial arts department of the Ten Academy Joint Examination."
"Occasionally, a kid from a poor family who has only been seen for decades enters the top ten, but he barely ranks at the bottom of the list. How can he win the top spot?!"
The deans of the martial arts academy were all shocked.
As a martial arts student from a humble family, even if you are extremely talented and work very hard, you may not necessarily have impressive strength.
After all, the three major aristocratic families and the five major wealthy families in Luyang Mansion spent a full seven or eight hundred years occupying almost all the most profitable industries, shops, mines, and fertile land in Luyang Mansion, and accumulated unimaginable wealth.
A vast array of rune martial arts!
There are tons of precious medicinal materials that can only be bought for hundreds of taels or thousands of taels of silver!
Incomparably strong teaching staff!
The valuable experience of personal guidance!
Even if he is just an ordinary young man in one of the eight major families, with a little help from his family, his strength can easily surpass that of those talented martial arts students from humble families.
If a genius emerges from a wealthy family, it will easily leave the talented children from a poor family far behind.
This has also led to the fact that in the past three hundred years, the three major aristocratic families and the five major wealthy families have controlled the top ten list of the martial arts department in the mansion.
There are very few children from poor families who break into the top ten in the martial arts department of the Ten Academy Joint Examination.
Children from other small families and wealthy families occasionally occupy the top ten on the list, but they are rare.
However, this year, a young boy from a poor family broke into the top ten in one fell swoop... and he was still at the top of the list. This is simply unimaginable.
How could this not shock them deeply.
The examiner was afraid that Dean Mu would not believe it, so he quickly handed over the transcripts of the top ten people in the martial arts department: "This is the result of the martial arts department's assessment. Please have a look at it, dean and deans! This score is the result of all the principals and assistants present." The examiners unanimously approved it, and no examiner had any objections. Only the Zhao family members protested!"
Dean Mu took a look at Ye Fan's results.
Ye Fan, a martial arts student from Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, is a very ordinary warrior on the second level!
The "Basic Three Basics" of martial arts: boxing, kicking, and footwork, all got perfect scores!
"Only by cultivating a martial skill to the tenth level and turning decay into a magical realm! Can you reach the highest rating of 100 points! This child's talent in martial arts is unimaginably high."
A surprising light flashed in the deep pupils of Dean Mu's slightly calm eyes.
"If the results are true, I am afraid that this is a rare genius from a humble family that has been rare in hundreds of years!"
"In this case, it's not surprising that he surpasses Zhao Feiyang!"
When the deans saw this report card, their faces were full of shock.
The Chief Manager of the Zhao Mansion was outside the pavilion and saw that all the deans were shocked. He was afraid that they would be inclined to Ye Fan, so he couldn't help but interrupt and said:
"Old Dean Mu, all deans are aware of this! This man is just a humble martial arts student, and I have never seen him show off his talents. I heard from his classmate Zhao Xing that this boy is at the bottom of their class. , they can only be bullied by others. Why did he suddenly beat thousands of candidates and get the top spot in the martial arts department as soon as he entered the examination room? I seriously doubt that he used cheating methods in the examination room. Please also ask Dean Mu Make the decision and reject this child's performance appraisal!"
The examiner glanced at Mr. Zhao and said coldly: "This was witnessed by all the examiners. How can it be false? Are you questioning the eyesight of the examiners present?!"
"I don't dare. But maybe he used a stimulating drug that can explode instantly and displayed his extraordinary martial arts skills?!"
"Where can I find this kind of medicinal material? Why didn't I know about it?"
"There are more than tens of millions of medicinal materials in the Shenwu Continent. Just the way they are combined is as numerous as the stars. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean there aren't any."
The chief manager of the Zhao Mansion lowered his head and lowered his eyes, with a respectful expression, and retorted sharply.
"this."
The examiner was speechless for a moment.
"Don't jump to conclusions about this matter. What if this young man's results are real? Although I don't know why he attracts a low profile on weekdays, but he has his own way. We withdrew his results indiscriminately. Isn't this right? Didn't you chill the heart of a young genius?"
The dean of Nanchen Martial Arts Academy sneered.
Although it was not Zhao Feiyang who won the first place, he was very surprised. However, fortunately, Ye Fan is also a young martial arts student from Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, so the effect of winning the top spot is the same.
He must be partial to the candidates from his martial arts academy.
General Manager Zhao looked a little panicked, with a hint of anxiety. If this continues, Ye Fan, the leader of the martial arts department, will definitely be confirmed.
He finally carried him out of the Zhao family: "Dean Mu, for the sake of my Zhao family, please investigate this matter thoroughly and revoke his assessment results! You can't let evil villains sneak into the courtyard!"
The Zhao family is the head of the five wealthy families in Luyang Mansion, and its power spreads throughout the entire Luyang Mansion. Even the Luyang Mansion should give the Zhao family a little less respect, so they won't be so heartless.
"Let's do this! There will be a banquet tonight for the top ten candidates of the martial arts department of the Ten Academy Joint Examination to celebrate them! Whether this boy is a prodigy from a poor family, I will know with my own eyes at the banquet! You will all be there too. If this student's grades are false, it won't be too late to withdraw him. That's it!"
Dean Mu pondered for a while, glanced at the Zhao family manager outside the pavilion, and waved his hand for them to leave.
"Okay! There are elders in our Zhao family who will attend tonight's banquet. Then we should invite the elders to show their appreciation!"
Seeing that Dean Mu didn't want to talk about the matter anymore, the general manager of the Zhao Mansion gritted his teeth and could only endure it and retreated.
