"Lu Ping, the recommendation meets the requirements." The usher gave the final confirmation to Lu Ping's qualifications.
Lu Ping nodded. He carefully folded the recommendation letter and stuffed it back into his pocket. He raised his head and looked at the mountain gate.
Big Dipper!
Two dazzling white words hung high above the mountain gate. In this golden autumn afternoon, it was as bright as a star in the pitch-black night.
This was the Big Dipper of the four academies. Lu Ping felt a little emotional in his heart. He could feel that when his name was mentioned, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. The North Style Academy recruited new students from all over the continent. Outside the mountain gate, there was the Green Peak Empire in the north, the Chang Feng Empire in the southwest, and the Black Army Empire in the southeast.
In the Black Army Empire, he was a wanted criminal who was ordered to be hunted by the entire country. The six names were already remembered by too many people. It was easy to imagine what kind of treatment he would receive if his identity was exposed. But under the mountain gate of the North Style Academy, when his identity was exposed, all he received was a few strange looks from the Black Army Empire.
The transcendent status of the four academies was already reflected here. The hardships that Lu Ping had experienced along the way seemed to be temporarily coming to an end.
But Lu Ping didn't feel very happy. He stared at the two dazzling white characters, his mind still thinking about the small academy that was located at the foot of the mountain, which had now been razed to the ground. Compared to the North Style Academy, Zhenfeng Academy was insignificant. But this didn't mean that the two words as bright as a star could replace the position of Zhenfeng Academy in his heart.
The others didn't know what he was thinking about at the moment. They only felt that he was extremely stupid looking at the two words "Big Dipper".
"Hey, brother, it's just a recommendation letter. There's no need to be so excited, right?" Among the twenty-seven people waiting for Lu Ping, someone shouted. This shout even used the Soul of Cry. It immediately brought the absent-minded Lu Ping back to his senses.
"Hehehe … …" The crowd immediately let out light laughter. Everyone saw Lu Ping's performance. Submit a recommendation letter. He carefully took it back and stared at the mountain gate in a daze, as if he would shed tears at any moment. This brat is already so excited after reaching this step. What kind of yearning does he have for the North Style Academy?
Of course, everyone present would not deny their own yearning. However, these outstanding talents all had their own confidence and pride. Many people standing here already regarded joining the North Style Academy as an inevitable fact. Naturally they wouldn't reveal too much longing for it. In their eyes, Lu Ping's appearance was naturally a little silly, which made them feel that he was only weak. That was why he was so excited when he saw the mountain gate of the North Style Academy. And they had long expected that this day would come for them.
On the other hand, the newcomers from the Xuan Jun Empire looked at Lu Ping differently. This guy who had been wanted by the Law Enforcement Unit for several months and finally appeared in front of the North Style Academy's mountain gate was definitely not an ordinary person.
After coming back to his senses, Lu Ping's expression was still the same. He immediately stepped into the mountain gate and walked towards the 27 newcomers. Feng Liuyun also took the name list at this time and smiled at Lu Ping.
"Don't be too excited, and don't be too nervous. Back then, I didn't even know it was a trial and became a member of the North Style Academy! "Feng Liuyun said to Lu Ping. He thought Lu Ping was nervous.
"Senior Brother Liuyun, what's going on? Quickly tell us." Someone from the 27 newcomers immediately answered Feng Liuyun's question. Feng Liuyun hadn't introduced himself yet, but this guy learned how the other North Style Academy students addressed him and quickly got close to him.
"Haha, I … …"
"Feng Liuyun!" The guide had been examining the newcomers step by step, and there was not a single extra word on the guide. At this moment, he immediately interrupted Feng Liuyun.
"Hurry up and bring your people to the trial," the guide said.
"Yes, yes … …" Feng Liuyun seemed to be somewhat afraid of this guide. After he hurriedly responded, he made a helpless expression towards the 28 newcomers. He didn't want to talk about his past anymore.
"Next, I will bring everyone to undergo the trial for newcomers. Only those who pass will officially become a member of the North Style Academy. Everyone, follow me!" Feng Liuyun said as he turned around and led the way.
"Senior Brother Liuyun!" The person who talked to Feng Liuyun earlier dashed forward like an arrow. He landed beside Feng Liuyun. He could tell that Feng Liuyun was a person who was easy to get along with. It was obvious that he hoped to form a friendship with Feng Liuyun and obtain his care during the trial.
How could the others not know his thoughts? However, some people weren't good at it. They could only secretly hate and worry. There were also some who disdained to do so and couldn't help but look down on the newcomer. Lu Ping walked at the back, but he couldn't help but turn around to look. He had finally taken this step into the North Style Academy. However, he was more reluctant to part with those people outside the mountain gate.
Su Tang, Siffin, Morin, and Teacher Chu Min. What happened to them? He had traveled all the way north from the Gorge District and passed through three and a half districts of the Black Army Empire. There were many bumps along the way, but if he had the chance, he wouldn't forget to inquire about these people. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything along the way. The only thing he could be sure of was that he didn't catch any of them, including Guo Youdao. Since he didn't find any corpses or traces of burial at the foot of the mountain, Guo Youdao was still treated as a living person and was still wanted.
I wonder if they have already gone to their respective academies. Lu Ping thought.
"Hey, the one called Lu Ping, stop daydreaming and keep up." Feng Liuyun, who was walking at the front, turned his head and saw Lu Ping stopping at the end of the line. He immediately called out to him.
"I'm coming." Lu Ping responded and continued to silently follow at the end of the line.
Among the twenty-eight people, there weren't many who knew each other. However, there were still some who started chatting with each other. Lu Ping's stupidity caused him to be looked down upon. However, he wasn't the only one who received the cold shoulder. In the end, at the end of the line, there was another youth who was similarly ignored. He and Lu Ping stared at each other.
"You … … are you called Lu Ping?" That youth hesitated for a moment before he finally approached Lu Ping and started talking.
"That's right." Lu Ping nodded.
"Where are you from?" The youth asked.
"Zhenfeng College." Lu Ping said.
"Zhenfeng College." That youth stretched out his hand and scratched his head. Zhenfeng College. This name was really unfamiliar to him. Famous academies had a lot of recommendations while small academies had very few. Thus, among the newcomers, if they reported their academy, the higher the ranking on the South Wind Board, the more academies would appear. Most of the time, there was no one who had ever heard of it.
"What about you?" Lu Ping wasn't bothered by the youth's reaction and casually asked him.
"I … … from Tianwu Academy." The youth replied with a slightly red face. He hadn't heard of the other party's academy, but the academy he came from was really insignificant. There were 442 academies on the continent's South Wind Board, and their Tianwu Academy was ranked 427. There weren't many academies that were weaker than them. To think that their academy would have a recommendation from North Style Academy. Honestly speaking, this youth found it hard to believe.
The rookies who were walking in front of them, who came from magnificent backgrounds, could not help but turn their heads and smile at the duo when they saw the two of them, who had been ignored in the end. They were even introducing themselves. Even the names of their academies were completely unfamiliar to them. However, among the twenty-eight people, there were two from Xuan Army Empire. At this moment, they were chatting with each other.
As for Lu Ping, it wasn't that they looked down on him. Rather, they intentionally kept their distance from him. They had heard of the name Zhenfeng College before. Even though it had been erased from existence, everyone was still shocked by the ferocity of this academy. It was said that the few of them had slaughtered almost all of the academy supervisors in Zhiling City and the city lord's residence in the Gorge District. How would they dare to look down on such people? All they had to do was to stay away from them. As for the others who liked to laugh, they had no intention of stopping them.
As he listened to the laughter and the mocking gazes, the young man's face turned even redder. Unexpectedly, when Lu Ping heard the name of his academy, he was astonished. "Tianwu Academy? I know of it! "
"Ah? You know of it? " The youth was frightened. To think that someone had heard of their Tianwu Academy. This was even more shocking than knowing that their academy had a recommendation from North Style Academy.
"Xu Weifeng, do you know this person?" Lu Ping asked. He recalled the youth he met at the Breaking Point Conference. At first, he was bullied weakly by others. Later on, he discovered that this fellow was a battle maniac who disdained to fight weaklings.
"Xu Weifeng?" The youth was stunned. He quickly shook his head. "There's no such person."
"No?" This time, it was Lu Ping's turn to be stunned.
"Yes, there's no such person." The youth was certain. Because there were only a hundred people in Tianwu Academy, he had already recognized them all during his four years there. The name Xu Weifeng was a hundred percent non-existent.
"That's strange." Lu Ping scratched his head. "Then what's your name?"
"I'm Zi Mu." The youth replied.
"Zi Mu … … Your realm doesn't seem too high?" Lu Ping was as honest as ever.
Zi Mu was in tears. His realm wasn't just not high, it was practically trash compared to the newcomers of North Style Academy.
Currently, his soul power was the highest, at the 6th Celestial Layer. In other words, he was still in the Perception realm. Newcomers at this level were rare even in the past years. Most of them were like Tianwu Academy. They had a recommendation quota, but the most outstanding students were only at this level.
To them, coming to the Four Great Academies as a newcomer was definitely not a chance for carps to leap over the dragon's gate, but a chance to embarrass themselves. All the newcomers wouldn't report their backgrounds the moment they arrived. Why did no one pay attention to Zi Mu? It was because of his realm. With such a standard, was there a need to befriend him?
Zi Mu was depressed! This was an opportunity that many people looked forward to, but when placed in his hands, it was a difficult task. He recalled what the dean said to him before he left: "Zi Mu, if you are lucky enough to stay in Big Dipper, you probably won't come back. If you can't stay, then don't come back either. It's embarrassing."
Even his own dean despised him so much. Zi Mu could only silently shed tears.
However, at the side, Lu Ping was still speaking, "Why didn't you let Xu Weifeng come? He's much stronger than you. "
"Are you even listening to me!" Zi Mu was going crazy. "There's no one called Xu Weifeng in our Tianwu Academy."
