A newcomer who had only been in the academy for a month already had the qualifications to compete for the seven academicians? No one would believe such a thing. But right now, it was right in front of everyone in the Seven Stars Assembly.
"Since we are following the old rules, then … … he does have the qualifications." Li Yaotian said.
Divine weapon inheritors were carefully selected elites of the Big Dipper Academy. Their character and strength were already top-notch. Through the Seven Stars Assembly, they would prove their strength. The strongest would become the seven academicians. This method was valid. Since the establishment of the North Style Academy, the seven academicians selected using this method were indeed outstanding.
However, there had never been a newcomer who became one of the seven academicians. Even the most talented newcomer couldn't do so. First, the divine weapon inheritance test would take several years. It was easy to verify a person's strength, but it would take a long time to observe a person's character.
Because of Ruan Qingzhu's casual nature, Lu Ping skipped this test and became a divine weapon inheritor in one leap. Then he had the qualifications. As for whether or not he had taught for seven years, it had nothing to do with this.
"Looks like we should add another condition. He should be a teacher who has already taught … …" Wang Xin of the Phecda Star also thought of this and murmured.
"I would like to ask." The Celestial Jade Star's Song Yuan spoke. He was infuriated when he heard Lu Ping's name. "If Ruan Qingzhu's academician qualification was taken away, why is Lu Ping's divine weapon still intact?"
"Because he is not wrong." Xu Mai said.
Song Yuan was stunned. In front of such an important issue like the divine weapon inheritance, he had never considered whether a newcomer was right or wrong.
"Yes." Li Yaotian nodded solemnly. Not only did he agree with Xu Mai's words, he even admired him.
"Hehe." Chen Jiu laughed coldly.
"Then what about Jin Qi? Is he wrong? "he said, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"We all know in our hearts that he is not wrong. In fact, he is too right." Chen Jiu said.
The Seven Stars Assembly became silent again.
Most people in the academy thought that Jin Qi and the theft of the seventh storehouse would result in this. Jin Qi was the main culprit. However, everyone present was a core member of the North Style Academy. Everyone knew the truth.
Even Bai Li, who had always been suspicious of Jin Qi, could no longer continue to doubt him. This was because Jin Qi did not defend himself from the start. He only thought that this matter would affect the academy. Therefore, he made the best of it.
It was truly tragic.
Xu Mai slowly stood up.
"Yes, that's correct. That's why he insisted. "Xu Mai said.
"But we are making mistakes." Chen Jiu said.
"It's wrong, and it's right. Otherwise, why would Jin Qi make such a choice? "Xu Mai said.
As far as Jin Qi was concerned, he was wrong to be wronged, but as far as the academy was concerned, someone was wronged. But it allowed the academy to survive the crisis.
Chen Jiu understood this, but understanding didn't mean he accepted it. He chose to remain silent, got up, and left the Seven Stars Assembly.
Xu Mai did not stop them. He looked at the remaining five people. "Does anyone else have any questions?"
Deng Wenjun raised his hand again. He didn't dare to speak when the academicians were discussing.
"So, if Lu Ping wins, then he will become the new Yao Guang Academician?" Deng Wenjun brought the topic back.
This possibility was absurd, but no one could deny it completely.
Lu Ping had the qualifications. Killing the Seven Kills Sentinel had proven his strength.
"Why don't we not discuss this hypothetical question? We'll talk about it when he really wins, "Song Yuan said impatiently. He was very unhappy with this name being mentioned again and again.
"Agreed." The Phecda Star Wang Xin nodded.
Li Yaotian nodded as well. Bai Li and Deng Wenjun basically had the attitude of listening from the sidelines. They wouldn't even voice their opinion, so this hypothetical possibility was set aside for now.
The lights of the Seven Stars Assembly were extinguished, but the academy wouldn't return to peace so easily. A tense and perturbed atmosphere enveloped the entire night.
Jin Qi sat alone in the stone house, quietly watching the passage of time.
There was no clock here, and he couldn't see the weather, but Jin Qi's calculation of time had always been very accurate.
This was the last night.
He gazed at the gloomy walls illuminated by the Circulating Light. Jin Qi thought to himself with some regret.
He didn't regret his choice. He just wanted to take one more look at this mountain, the Big Dipper Mountain that he had sacrificed his life for. And Megrez Peak, even though he was already very familiar with it. He could sketch out too many details with his eyes closed. But at this time, he really wanted to take one more look.
If it was tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to see this night.
Jin Qi thought of the starry sky, thought of the Megrez Peak that surrounded the mountains, the shortest of the seven peaks. He thought of the busy medicinal kitchen and pharmacy halfway up the mountain, thought of the stolen seven storehouses.
The damage to the seven storehouses amounted to more than ten percent, and this ten percent wasn't so easily made up. Moreover, the thief was still hidden, and he had no clue about the method. Wanting to figure it out was really difficult.
He didn't know how many people on Megrez Peak were hidden opponents, and he only hoped that there would be fewer.
His teacher's temperament had always been lazy, and he also hoped that he would be more thoughtful in the future.
That Lu Ping always had a feeling that he was deeply hidden. He didn't know what would happen in the future, and whether he would become a part of Megrez Peak one day?
Jin Qi, who was locked in the belly of the mountain, couldn't sense the two powerful soul fluctuations on Big Dipper Mountain today. The three messages that were sent would also not be sent to him, the main culprit of the seven storehouses being stolen.
On the last night, Jin Qi's heart was calm, but he had too many thoughts. After thinking for the whole night, he still didn't close his eyes.
Dawn.
The North Style Academy immediately displayed a scene that the new students hadn't displayed for more than a month. The usually tranquil and serene Seven Stars Valley suddenly became a boiling cauldron of voices. Every peak, every academy, as long as they were students of the North Style Academy, they would all be participating in the Seven Stars Valley today.
Apart from that, there were also guests from all over the continent.
The three great empires, all the great academies, as well as well-known merchant powers like the Precious Treasure Pavilion, would all receive invitations.
But those who had the qualifications to watch the Seven Stars Valley's Seven Stars Valley's Seven Stars Valley's highest point with the Big Dipper Seven academies, were always the leading figures of these various powers.
At this time, these big shots had yet to show their faces. The ones active in the Seven Stars Valley were still the Big Dipper Sect members who were participating in the Seven Stars Valley's Seven Stars Valley. With the Seven Stars Tower as the center, they circled around it in circles. The training grounds of the Seven Stars Exam were like the Star Fate Chart, divided into seven circles.
The closer one was to the inner circle of the Seven Stars Tower, the stronger they were. They wanted to jump from the outer circle to the inner circle. They needed to obtain enough Seven Star Tokens.
Each person had three Seven Star Tokens. Only by challenging someone in the same circle or the inner circle could they win a Seven Star Token. Every time they won seven Seven Star Tokens, they could level up by one circle. They could not challenge the same opponent in the same circle repeatedly.
The one being challenged. They had to take out at least one Seven Star Token to accept the challenge. When all the Seven Star Tokens were used up, the exam would end.
The rules of the North Style Academy's Seven Stars Exam were famous. But Senior Brother Ji still dutifully explained the rules to the new students who were participating in the Seven Stars Exam for the first time.
Inspired by the scene in the valley, many of the new students were already fired up. They looked at the Seven Stars Tower that was far away from them. Their hearts were filled with longing.
The new students of the Second, Third, and Fourth Academies looked coldly at the passionate new students of the First Academy. They did not say a word.
Time ticked by.
When the sun completely rose behind the Eastern Mountain Region, the leaders of the major powers and the seven academicians of the North Style Academy appeared on the Seven Stars Tower.
There was no grand ceremony for the Seven Stars Exam. It was just a simple beginning.
"Challenge!"
The new students of the First Academy, who were still admiring the scene, suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was right beside them.
The "Prison of Drawing Ground", which was specially set up for the Seven Stars Exam, was immediately activated upon hearing this voice. A new student of the First Academy was trapped inside. The person who appeared with him was Senior Brother Ji, who was explaining the rules of the Seven Stars Exam to them!
Senior Brother Ji was also a member of the Big Dipper Gate. He also wanted to participate in the Seven Stars Exam. Senior Brother Ji's strength was at the outermost layer of the seven layers of the Astrology Diagram.
Thus, he challenged the new students.
No one knew the strength of the new students better than him. He quickly chose the weakest among the new students. He had the most confidence in being his opponent.
Doing so might be somewhat despicable, or he might be looked down upon.
But the Seven Stars Exam of the North Style Academy was such a training ground for survival.
Before the rookies could react, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. Senior Brother Ji, who was far more prepared than the new students. He easily defeated this opponent that he had already seen through long ago.
A Seven Stars Order was taken by him.
"Challenge!" He did not stop and quickly chose the next one. He knew that he had to be fast, because the new students of the First Academy were simply the fattest sheep in the Seven Stars Valley.
"Challenge!"
"Challenge!"
"Challenge!"
Challenges rang out one after another. The new students of the Second, Third, and Fourth Academies, who were watching coldly from the sidelines, finally revealed their sinister faces. One by one, the custom-made training grounds rose up. One by one, the new students of the First Academy were defeated by their opponents who had been observing them since they entered the academy.
Those who were a step slower and did not manage to pick the new students of the First Academy were extremely anxious. Only the new students of the First Academy were the most reliable points for them.
Everyone's gaze searched the area, looking for the fish that slipped through the net.
"Challenge!" Finally, someone spotted one of them and shouted out in joy.
As the custom-made training grounds rose up, the others revealed a look of surprise, and then sympathy.
The one being challenged turned around. The challenger was stunned and shouted, "That's impossible! Why are you here! "
The one he challenged was actually Lu Ping.
Lin Tianbiao and Ying Xiao, these two outstanding students, directly started from the sixth circle.
But Lu Ping, the inheritor of the high grade level five divine weapon, was actually in the seventh circle?
"You must have stood in the wrong position!" The one who challenged Lu Ping was a new student of the Fourth Academy. He, who was getting closer and closer to the Fifth Academy, naturally cherished his few opportunities.
Lu Ping shook his head.
He listened to the arrangement of the Megrez Peak students. He did not know whether it was right or wrong.
He only knew that these seniors, who usually called each other brothers, revealed extremely ugly expressions at this moment.
Perhaps under the rules, this could not be considered wrong? As Lu Ping pondered this, he took out his Seven Stars Order.
"I'll bet three," he said.
The number of Seven Stars Order as the wager was the right of the challenged.
The challenger could not refuse.
