Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the square again. After the end of the assessment, there were only a thousand people left. These thousand people were the elites of the Southern Border!
This time, Long Xuanwu was no longer the only teacher from the academy present.
On the high platform in the square, the leader looked to be about fifty years old. His temples were white and he was hale and hearty. There were seven people behind him. They looked to be in their thirties and were all Aoran College's public teachers.
Although Aoran College was vast and famous, there were not many teachers in the college. These few people were the current mainstays of the college.
The thousand people below could faintly feel a kind of aura. Unexpectedly, no one made a noise.
"The current president of Aoran College, Lu Chen, welcomes everyone to become a member of the college." Lu Chen smiled slightly and was quite amiable.
Su Yun folded his arms and listened to the president on the high platform. It was nothing more than the history of the college, its reputation, and so on. Su Yun had heard a lot in his previous life. Even now, it still went in one ear and out the other.
Lu Chen spoke for close to two hours, causing Su Yun to feel drowsy listening to him.
"As long as you are a leader, you have to be eloquent." Su Yun sighed and said with emotion.
"Yeah, after so long, I still haven't grasped the main point." Night As Fire listened carefully for so long and gradually lost interest.
"According to my experience, speaking of which, it should be about to end." Su Yun yawned.
"Your experience?" Night As Fire glanced at him.
Sure enough, before Night As Fire finished speaking, Lu Chen said, "Next, everyone will follow the guidance of the jade token and settle down in the college."
"Everyone, familiarize yourselves with the college. Tomorrow is the grandest freshman competition in the Southern Border. I hope the elites of the Southern Border can shine on this platform." Lu Chen said with a smile.
After that, Lu Chen left with the other teachers.
"As expected, they left us here again!" Night As Fire's expression darkened as he spoke in a low voice.
"Lost? Su Yun looked in the direction that Lu Chen and the others had left and said softly.
"Test Jade Plate! Settle down! Is that so … "Night As Fire repeated Lu Chen's words and laughed.
"Everyone else has left. Let's go for a stroll!" Su Yun took out the test jade card and moved it with his spiritual sense.
The map of the trial grounds on the jade assessment token had already changed to that of Aoran College.
"Let's go to our dormitory first," Su Yun said as he felt the huge map.
Everyone's dormitory was clearly marked on the map.
The dormitory area was at the back. Everyone followed the signs and walked in that direction while paying attention to the environment of Aoran College.
Not long after they passed the plaza, it was as if they had entered a market. All kinds of stalls were set up on both sides of the plaza, displaying many rare items.
The stall owners were all young people in their early twenties, and their cultivations weren't bad.
Seeing the new students pass by, the stall owners smiled inexplicably, as if they were mocking themselves or joking.
"The map shows that this is a trading area." Xu Qian looked at the various stalls around them and said, "So it's all Aoran College students doing business among themselves."
Huang Zhan looked around and said, "Yes, it's convenient for them to take what they need."
"So there are so many people in Aoran College. But when we took the test, we didn't see any seniors in public. That's strange … "Huang Zhan said as he shook his head.
"Maybe it's because of the environment of the Canglan Academy. In such an environment, something like the freshmen assessment might not be able to cause much of a stir for the older students." Wen Yumo finally spoke.
"So they didn't even bother to take a look when we took the test." Huang Zhan suddenly understood.
"I saw that the way they looked at us was a bit strange." Xu Qian said.
"The meaning behind this, perhaps we can only wait for us to comprehend it in the academy." Su Yun sighed slightly.
"Since we're here, let's take it as it comes." Chen Ling laughed heartily.
Everyone chatted and laughed along the way. Soon, they arrived at their dormitory.
"One room per person?" Huang Zhan looked at the big houses in front of him and smiled bitterly. According to the jade token, his dormitory was a small room in one of the big houses.
"It's a bit shabby. Weren't there many small independent courtyards on the way here? Those seemed to be for students as well. Why are we staying here? "Chen Ling asked in a low voice.
"You don't know. Every new student's initial residence is in these big houses. Those who have the ability to use contribution points can rent independent courtyards." Xu Qian said.
"So that's how it is."
Su Yun rubbed his forehead, thinking that he was regretting that he missed the opportunity to plunder points in the training grounds.
"Contribution points, contribution points!" Su Yun muttered.
"Oh right! What's the new student competition that the cheap dean was talking about? "Su Yun suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Aoran College's new student competition can be said to be a grand event for the entire Southern Border. When the time comes, many of the Southern Border's major powers and powerhouses will send people to participate." Tang Xiaofeng said.
Night As Fire heard this and said, "This new student competition is for Aoran College to rank the new students, but for the Southern Border, it's an excellent opportunity to select talents."
"I'm afraid that Aoran College's goal isn't that simple." An Yuqing, who had been quiet all this time, said.
"Haha, you're talking about the final coronation battle! It's reasonable for the seniors to trample on the freshmen. "Tang Xiaofeng laughed.
"What do you mean by seniors trampling on the freshmen?" Su Yun was interested when he heard this.
"The top three students in the new student competition will have a chance to challenge the seniors." Tang Xiaofeng said.
The result of the freshmen challenging the seniors was self-evident.
Su Yun knew that the college wanted to use this to dampen the spirits of the freshmen. The top three students in the new student competition represented the top combat strength of this year's genius freshmen. If they were defeated, it would undoubtedly be a psychological blow to the freshmen as a whole.
At the same time, it was also a battle for the seniors to establish their prestige!
Su Yun pursed his lips and smiled. What a good plan.
"I heard that the top three students in the new student competition will receive a considerable amount of contribution points!" When Xu Qian said this, he glanced at Su Yun discreetly.
"The reward is contribution points?" Su Yun's eyes lit up as he asked.
"Yes, the college's currency is contribution points. Whether it's training in the cultivation area, obtaining Cultivation Methods and Spiritual Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion, or trading in the trading area, they all can't do without contribution points." Xu Qian said.
"It sounds like a good thing, but … why is the reward for the top three students in Aoran College's new student competition so reeking of money?" Su Yun asked, puzzled.
"This is the first lesson that the college has given us, the law of survival in the world of cultivation. Strength and benefits! Benefits reeking of money! "Wen Yumo said indifferently.
"Strength and benefits?" Su Yun repeated with a smile. That's just what I want!
"Tomorrow, we'll have fun again." Night As Fire said with a smile. No one knew what he meant by that.
"Don't underestimate the new student competition. The freshmen who participated in the assessment last time were only a part of it. The truly powerful ones are the geniuses who didn't need to participate in the assessment and directly entered Aoran College." Tang Xiaofeng said, "Of course, a part of it is because of their powerful background."
"How many people like that are there?" Huang Zhan asked.
"There are at least two hundred people who skipped the assessment, but those who relied on their own strength to obtain this qualification are less than fifty people." Tang Xiaofeng said.
"That's a terrifying number." Huang Zhan said.
"More than twelve hundred people will fight to determine the top three … What are the rules of the competition set by the college?" Su Yun asked.
Xu Qian looked at Su Yun's back and smiled. It's easy as long as you're interested!
"The highlight of the new student competition will be on the third day. The first two days are to determine the top sixteen." Xu Qian said slowly, "The battles between the top sixteen are the real highlight!"
"At the beginning, it will be an elimination system. The victors will advance until the top ten are determined." Xu Qian continued, "In order to avoid being eliminated when the strong meet, those who are eliminated can challenge the top ten if they think they have enough strength. The winner will be revived. The six challengers who can be revived will compete with the top ten for the top three! "
This kind of rule could indeed reduce some accidental situations.
