After Ning Cheng handed over the Spear to Ji Luofei, he followed the other four people from the God Wind Academy to the square platform in front of the main altar. In addition to him and Meng Jingxiu from the God Wind Academy, there were also three other people. Gu Hong, had a tall stature, and was incomparably robust, with the cultivation of True Condensation 8th Level. Chu Yong Xin was the person with the highest cultivation in the God Wind Academy, True Condensation 9th Level. Min Rui looked the thinnest of the five, and his cultivation level was only at True Condensation 7th Level, he did not know why he was placed among the five people, Ning Cheng guessed that the God Wind Academy really did not have any outstanding talents.
What made Ning Cheng surprised, was that out of the five people from the Falling Star Academy, he unexpectedly knew three of them. Meng Yu Jing, was the woman that Ning Cheng was looking for, and had the cultivation of True Condensation 7th Level. At this moment, there was no veil on her face, revealing an extremely beautiful face. No wonder she was known as the most beautiful girl in the Falling Star Academy, Ning Cheng estimated that even in the entire Mo Ze City, there was no one more beautiful than her.
Following closely behind Meng Yujing was a young girl, this young girl was also staring at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng nodded to her, but the girl frowned and turned her head away. Ning Cheng did not think that the Falling Star Academy would send Yue Ying to the stage for the first round of the tournament. Yue Ying's cultivation level was only at the Qi Gathering 6th Level, as such she could only participate in the first or second round of the tournament.
But thinking that Yue Ying was at the Qi Gathering 6th Level, Ning Cheng's heart jumped, wasn't this speed too fast? When he had first met Yue Ying, Yue Ying had not yet started cultivating, yet in a blink of an eye she had already reached the Qi Gathering 6th Level?
One had to know that he was only able to reach the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level because of a variety of fortuitous encounters. When Yue Ying came to the Falling Star Academy, she already had such a powerful explosive force, it was truly terrifying. Moreover, as this young girl's cultivation grew higher and higher, it revealed that her stunning appearance was not inferior to Meng Yu Jing's.
The third person from the Falling Star Academy that Ning Cheng recognized, turned out to be Shui Yu who had jumped down from the restaurant wearing a white robe. This Shui Yu only had the cultivation of True Condensation 7th Level, moreover it seemed that he had just advanced to this level not too long ago. He was a member of the Shui Clan, how could he represent the Falling Star Academy in the tournament?
When Ning Cheng looked at Shui Yu, Shui Yu also glanced at Ning Cheng, and a murderous intent flashed through his eyes. Apparently, he already knew who Ning Cheng was.
As for the rest of the people, other than Leng Yi Yang, Ning Cheng did not know any of them. Moreover, he also did not have any interest in getting to know them. He knew that since he was chosen to participate in the fight between the 5 Star Academies on this square platform, then there must be something extraordinary about it.
Ning Cheng casually found a seat and sat down, but immediately found that his Spiritual Sense was completely imprisoned. Just like before, he couldn't use his spiritual will.
The dignified man sitting in the middle of the main altar stood up. At the same time, he flew and landed on the square platform where the 25 examinees were seated.
He glanced at the 25 candidates sitting on the square platform, and said in a slow voice, "Those who are able to sit on the platform for the first round of the written exam, should be the elites of the Hua Continent. The first round of the competition only lasts for the time it takes to burn an incense stick … "
Ning Cheng had thought that since this was the Tournament between the 5 Star Academies, the first round of the tournament would definitely be very long, at least it would be longer than the 5th round that he had participated in. Who would have thought that it would only take an incense stick's time? This was too short.
An incense stick's time was equivalent to thirty minutes here. If he had to look at the questions in half an hour, how could he proceed with the written test?
Not only Ning Cheng, but the rest of the examinees were also puzzled as they looked at the dignified man who was presiding over the first round of the tournament, they did not understand why the time was so short.
The man simply did not care about the reactions of the 25 people on the platform, and directly took out an ancient leather scroll and said, "The content of the first round of the examination is on this leather scroll in my hands, in a moment I will personally open this leather scroll, you will have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to look at the questions, and then after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you have to answer the questions."
Was it that simple? Ning Cheng could not believe it, the leather scroll in the man's hands, even if it was opened, it would at most be three feet long and a foot wide. To ensure that they could clearly read the words written on it, the handwriting would certainly not be too small. How much content would it contain?
All the people suddenly came to understand, no wonder it only took the time it took for an incense stick to burn, it seems that the first round of the tournament was just a mere formality.
At this time the man had already opened the leather scroll, a trace of vicissitudes of life washed over them, the 25 people on the platform immediately stared at the leather scroll in the man's hands.
The words written on the leather scroll were not very big, but they were also not very small. Everyone here were cultivators, so they could still clearly see the words written on the leather scroll. Ning Cheng estimated that the number of words written on the leather scroll was at most a few thousand, it was not a challenge for him at all.
But the next moment Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, the words written on the leather scroll did not have any connection to each other, it simply could not form any sentence or meaning. The difference between each word was like heaven and earth, it was like a bull's head and a horse's mouth were connected together.
Ning Cheng reacted quickly, almost at the same time he reacted, this leather scroll did not seem to be simple at all. He did not dare to have any other thoughts, and directly concentrated his mind on memorizing the contents of the leather scroll.
Ning Cheng's formidable memory ability was undoubtedly highlighted at this time, his thoughts turned in the first second, and in the last two seconds, he had already completely memorized the contents of the leather scroll.
Just as Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that the content of the leather scroll was completely different from before. He subconsciously opened his eyes wide, this time he could clearly see that it was indeed different from before, moreover there was not even a single word that was the same.
Sure enough, it was not simple, Ning Cheng did not dare to let his imagination run wild, and once again concentrated his mind on memorizing the contents of the second scroll.
After a few seconds, the content of the second scroll disappeared, and was replaced by a third scroll with a completely different content. It was the same content composed of some completely unrelated words, without any connection at all.
Ning Cheng already knew that it was not simple, as such the changes in the contents of the leather scroll were not strange at all, his mind was completely immersed in the contents of the leather scroll. Later on, he even forgot that he was still participating in the first round of the tournament. He seemed to be able to see a picture in the different content, and even saw a note in the picture.
"Good, the questions will end here." An abrupt voice interrupted the various pictures in Ning Cheng's mind.
Ning Cheng subconsciously quivered, he knew that the time it took for an incense stick to burn had already arrived. The one who spoke was the dignified looking man, and he had already put away the leather scroll in his hands.
Ning Cheng's heart was in a state of turmoil, in his mind there were hundreds of different grand pictures. There were also the contents of the hundreds of leather scrolls, although these contents seemed different, but they actually hid such a profound mystery within them.
Thinking back to the vicissitudes of life that this leather scroll was exuding, Ning Cheng was sure that the contents of this leather scroll was either a very extraordinary Cultivation Method, or a Magical Technique. He even had a kind of intuition, that once these pictures were completely mixed together, it would definitely reveal a great secret.
At this time, Ning Cheng finally understood why this person wanted to show them this leather scroll. This leather scroll only had one side, and only by looking at it with one's own eyes, would one be able to understand the mystery within it.
This Intermediate Class Continent was really broad-minded, they even took out this kind of awesome thing as an exam question, so that the examinees could benefit from it.
Ning Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, this first round of the tournament had countless kinds of questions, why would they take out this kind of leather scroll?
At this time, Ning Cheng heard the nearby examinees talking.
"Do you feel that the content of this leather scroll is changing?"
"It can't be, I only saw one side of the content, although it was very difficult, but in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I was able to remember a lot of it."
"There are changes, moreover there are three kinds of changes, I did not remember all of them … …"
What made Ning Cheng surprised was that the dignified looking old man did not forbid the discussion below, and waited for the people below to discuss for a while, before he said, "Good, now start answering the questions."
Ning Cheng picked up the pen and paper on the table, and first wrote down his name and the 5 Star Academy, only then did he discover that there were already 10 questions on the white paper.
The first question, is there any change in the content of the leather scroll? If there are any changes, how many changes are there?
Ning Cheng frowned, in his mind there were still various kinds of images rolling around, moreover he was sure that once he completely understood these things, it would definitely be a very amazing thing. He had already reacted, he did not believe that the people of the Intermediate Class Continent would be so noble, and would be able to share such a good thing. Before he had also heard the people beside him talking about it, some of them could see several changes, while some of them could not see any changes at all.
But he was able to see a total of 600-700 changes, moreover these changes were constantly derived from his understanding. Can these things even be written down? Maybe the person who took out this leather scroll did not know that there were so many changes … …
Ning Cheng thought until here, a flame suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.
He had always believed that in this world, there was absolutely no such thing as a meat pie falling down from the sky, so the person who took out the leather scroll certainly did not know that there were so many changes. This person took out the leather scroll, and then summoned all the cultivators of the Hua Continent who had a strong memory to take the exam, in order to see if anyone could see the changes.
This person should have known that this leather scroll was extraordinary, but he himself was not able to crack it. As long as someone was able to crack the changes in this leather scroll, then maybe they would immediately be taken away, and then specifically used to study this leather scroll. Otherwise, why would the 5 Star Academies need to test this kind of insignificant topic?
Thinking until here, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to write that there were no changes. Even if he failed in the first round, there were still the next two rounds.
Then Ning Cheng saw that the second question was, whether there were any changes or not, write down the 567th word on the first page. This question was not difficult for Ning Cheng, he immediately wrote down the 567th word on the first page.
But the following questions from the third to the tenth question, Ning Cheng was dumbfounded, the third question was, if there were any changes, please write down the number of words of the second change, the fourth question was, write down the number of words of the third change. The following questions continued until the tenth question.
Ning Cheng sighed, and simply put down the pen, he knew how to answer these questions. He even thought that he could see the changes in the content, but the person who came up with the questions did not know about it. But he did not dare to do the first one, and he did not want to do the second one. This kind of Heaven and Earth Treasure was memorized by him, the thing that he wanted to do the most, was to find a quiet place to go into seclusion, and then quietly meditate.
After Ning Cheng thought about it, he felt that the reason why he was able to perceive so many changes, was because of the Mysterious Yellow Origin. If he did not have the Mysterious Yellow Origin, then at most he would just be an ordinary person with a strong memory.
Mysterious Yellow Origin? Ning Cheng vaguely felt that he had once again grasped something, why did the Mysterious Yellow Origin help him see so many changes?
"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is up … …" The man who presided over the tournament once again interrupted Ning Cheng's contemplation, while simultaneously waving his hand, the 25 answer sheets fell into his hands.
Everyone knew that the dignified man who presided over the tournament was going to personally mark the papers.
Ning Cheng really wanted to know the expression of this man after he finished looking at the 25 answer sheets, but he knew that staring at the other party at this time, was absolutely not wise.
Sure enough, after the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the man put away the 25 answer sheets, while simultaneously playing several Array Flags.
A moment later, the rankings of the first round of the tournament were displayed on the first Array Formation Projection Screen.
