In the nine counties in Lingxi, in addition to the Yunwu County and Sifang County, there are seven other counties and states.

Before dark, young warriors from seven other counties and countries were also taken to the West Courtyard Martial Arts Field, each of whom was camping and not next to each other.

The other seven counties, like Yunwu County, are all inferior counties. Some counties only have dozens of young warriors, while others have one or two hundred people.

The number of young warriors who took the academy exam naturally showed the national strength of each county and country.

"In the nine counties in the west of Ling, only the Sifang County is a medium-sized county and has the strongest national strength. The young warriors who came to take the academy exam accounted for a small half of the Sifang County and State." Liu Chengfeng said.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the number of young warriors in the martial arts field in the West Courtyard and roughly estimated that there were about 1,500 people, all of whom were martial arts masters in the Xuanji realm.

Everyone present is a young genius in the county and country where they are, and none of them is a weak person.

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Why are there only the warriors from the nine counties in Lingxi? Why don't they see the warriors from the nine counties in Lingnan, the nine counties in Lingdong, and the nine counties in Lingbei?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "The outer palaces of Wushi Qianzhuang are divided into four courtyards, the South Courtyard, the North Courtyard, the East Courtyard, and the West Courtyard. Each courtyard is recruited separately. Young warriors from our Lingxi Jiu County can only enter the West Courtyard and become disciples of the outer palace of the West Courtyard."

"Only when you break through to the extreme level of cultivation and become a disciple of the inner palace, you can compete on the same stage with the inner palace students of the other three academies."

Zhang Ruochen nodded, then stopped asking, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to meditate and practice.

His eyes were staring at the four large characters in the "Xiyuan Martial Arts Field" on the cliff in the distance, feeling the sword spirit emitted from the font, so as to understand the realm of a clear sword heart.

Tonight, all young warriors from the nine counties and countries could only spend the night in the West Courtyard Martial Arts Field.

Most warriors sit cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and strive to adjust their state to the best in order to deal with tomorrow's academy exam.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, three deafening bells sounded from the Wu City Academy.

All the warriors who are practicing or resting are awakened by the bell.

I saw ten powerful warriors standing on a seven-meter-high stone platform in the center of the martial arts field. One of the old men was wearing a golden robe, and the other nine were all wearing silver robes.

The nine warriors in silver robes were the guides to the nine counties and countries, all of whom were silver robes elders from the Wu City Academy.

Liu Chengfeng whispered: "The internal hierarchy of Wushi Money House is very strict. People of different levels wear different clothes. Only by becoming the elders of Wushi Money House can they wear silver robes. As for the elders of the golden robes... the entire West Courtyard, only the owner of the West Courtyard can wear golden robes."

The owner of the West Courtyard is the golden robe elder of the money house in Wu City.

As for Elder Xie, Elder Situ, and even Liu Chengfeng's father, they were all just silver-robed elders from the Wushi Money House.

Zhang Ruochen said: "If we were to be admitted to the Wu City Academy, what color of robe would we wear?"

"Simple clothes and white robe." Liu Chengfeng smiled.

At this moment, the head of the West Courtyard was standing on the seven-meter-high platform, and the robe on her body emitted a dazzling golden light, just like a scorching sun. Many warriors couldn't even open their eyes.

Obviously, the golden robe on the owner of the West Courtyard is definitely more than just a piece of clothing.

The head of the West Courtyard glanced at the audience, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, saying: "This year, there were 1,537 young warriors in the Jiujun of Lingxi, and the exam was divided into two rounds. The first round of hunting wild beasts, the second round of Wuta Passing the Pass. Finally, the top 120 people became students of the West Courtyard Outer Palace of Wu City Academy. Next, Elder Situ will read out the specific examination rules for everyone."

After saying this, the head of the West Courtyard retreated.

Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Fortunately, the examination rules are the same as in previous years."

Liu Chengfeng was prepared in advance and was confident in this academy exam.

Even if Liu Chengfeng is the son of the silver-robed elder of the Wushi Money House, he must pass the exam before he can enter the Wushi Academy to practice.

Of course, as he is, he will definitely be able to know a lot of inside information about the exam in advance and make corresponding preparations, and he will have a greater chance of being a warrior than other warriors.

"One thousand five hundred and thirty-seven people, only one hundred and twenty people, less than one tenth. With my cultivation level, I will definitely not be able to take the exam." A young warrior in the early stage of Xuanji realm sighed, and had lost confidence in this academy exam.

On the stone platform, Elder Situ bowed to the master of the West Courtyard. Then, he took a step forward and faced the young warrior below and said, "The exams in the Wu City Academy have always been fair and just. What we want to recruit talented geniuses, so even if our cultivation is lower, as long as our talent is strong enough, we have a good chance of passing the exam."

When the warriors who had lost faith heard this, they immediately rekindled their fighting spirit and looked at Elder Situ.

Elder Situ continued: "After half an hour, everyone will enter the Tianmo Ridge one by one. What you enter is only an area designated in advance on the outside of Tianmo Ridge. All the wild beasts above level three in that area have been cleared out in advance."

"The first round of the Wu City Academy Examination is to hunt wild beasts. The warriors in the early stage of Xuanji Realm, who hunt five second-level lower-level beasts, will be considered to have passed the first round of the exam."

"A warrior in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm hunts ten second-level lower-level beasts and passes the first round of examinations."

"The warriors in the late stage of Xuanji Realm hunted twenty second-level lower-level beasts and passed the first round of examinations."

"A warrior in the Xuanji realm, he hunted forty second-level lower-level beasts and passed the first round of examinations."

"If a warrior at the extreme level in the Xuanji realm appears, he must hunt down eighty second-level lower-level beasts before he can pass the first round of the exam."

"A second-level medium-level wild beast is equivalent to five second-level lower-level wild beasts. A second-level high-level wild beast is equivalent to twenty-five second-level low-level wild beasts."

Elder Situ announced the examination rules above, and all the young warriors below started to whisper.

A woman in the early stage of Xuanji Realm showed a smile and said, "It's so easy to pass the first round of the exam by hunting five second-level lower-level beasts!"

Another warrior sneered and said, "You're thinking too easily! The wild beasts in the Demon Ridge live in harsh environments all year round. They not only have to fight with human warriors, but also have to compete for food with other wild beasts. Their strength is at least twice as powerful as those outside. The strength of each second-level lower-level wild beast is almost the same as that of the early stage of Xuanji Realm. It's difficult to hunt one, let alone hunt five?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said solemnly: "There are not only second-level lower-level wild beasts in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, but also second-level medium-level wild beasts and second-level high-level wild beasts. If you encounter a second-level high-level wild beast, I am afraid that any candidate present will definitely die."

The second-level high-level barbarian beast is comparable to a warrior of the Great Perfection of Xuanji Realm. Even if Zhang Ruochen encounters it, he will probably have a dead end.

Everyone's faces suddenly turned very pale.

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. The area designated by the Wu City Academy is very wide. Unless you have a very bad luck, you will definitely not encounter second-level high-level beasts."

A warrior in the early stage of Xuanji Realm said in frustration: "Even if he encounters a second-level medium-level wild beast, I will definitely die."

The enrollment of Wu City Academy is so cruel. It is not only about avoiding powerful beasts, but also guarding against other warriors to avoid being plotted against.

Elder Situ continued to read the rules: "Before entering the Demon Ridge, everyone will get a Qilin Ball. If you are in danger of your life, just crush the Qilin Ball, the rescuers of the Wu City Academy will arrive as soon as possible. Of course, once you crush the Qilin Ball, it means you have given up the Academy exam."

"The exam time is three days. After three days, if you do not hunt enough beasts, you will be eliminated."

"Now. I announce that the Academy Examination has officially begun."

Everyone got a fist-sized Kirin ball, which was said to be filled with Kirin cigarettes. Once the ball was crushed, the Kirin cigarettes would rush out of the ball and rise to a height of 1,000 meters.

At this moment, Elder Xie led ten outer palace disciples from the Wu City Academy to the 66 young candidates from Yunwu County.

Yunwu County was originally sixty-eight candidates, Chen Libing was killed, Jiang Heng was seriously injured and sent back to the county, but now only sixty-six people are left.

Elder Xie said, "The ten people standing in front of you are the outer palace students of the Wushi Academy. They are also your senior brothers and sisters. They will take you to different entrances and enter the Heavenly Demon Ridge."

"Now, you can choose to enter Tianmo Ridge alone to complete the academy exam, or you can choose a combination of two people to enter Tianmo Ridge together to complete the exam."

Whether you enter Tianmo Ridge alone or a combination of two people, there are both pros and cons.

When the two people enter the Demon Ridge, they can indeed share the burden with each other when they encounter danger. However, you must also beware of your teammates in case he gives you a sword behind your back.

Therefore, if you don’t combine, you must choose the person you can trust the most once you combine.

However, everyone comes from all over the world and has never known many of them before. Who can trust others?

"I chose to enter the Heavenly Demon Ridge alone!" said a warrior in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm.

Obviously, he couldn't trust anyone.

Subsequently, all the young warriors from Yunwu County made a choice, and most of them chose to enter Tianmo Ridge alone, and only twenty-two people chose to combine two people. Among them were Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian.

Under the leadership of the ten outer palace students, sixty-six young warriors from Yunwu County and the State walked towards Tianmo Ridge.

Prince Huo Xing stared at the people in Yunwu County who had left, and sneered, saying, "Listen, after entering the Tianmo Ridge, if you encounter warriors from Yunwu County, you will be killed without any consequences. As long as you kill one person, I will reward him with a second-grade pill. If you can kill that ninth prince, I will reward him with a real martial arts treasure."

Hearing Prince Huo Xing's words, all the warriors in the Sifang County and the State sneered on their faces.
