Pre-exam Class Three.
This was the class that Su Yu was in. These few days, Su Yu didn't come to class much. Of course, everyone didn't care too much about it.
The higher education examinations were approaching, and everyone was very tight on time. No one had the mood to care about whether others were in class or not.
Moreover, Su Yu wasn't the only one who was special.
There was a Kaiyuan Stage Four student in the class who hadn't come to class for a long time. At this point, adjusting his mentality was more important.
…
Su Yu sat down in his seat and wasn't in a hurry to find Liu Wenyan.
It was too early, and Instructor Liu was probably still reading. The old man had the habit of waking up early to read.
Chen Hao sat next to Su Yu. The two of them were deskmates. The teachers didn't have any seating arrangements, so they could sit wherever they wanted.
Not long after they sat down, a well-endowed woman in her thirties walked in with a book.
She glanced below and didn't care if there were any people missing. She opened the book and said, "It's not long before the higher education examinations, so I won't be revising the basic courses. Today, I'll briefly talk about your future choices after graduation."
"There's no need to talk about the four major schools. Everyone knows this."
"Then, let's talk about how to choose if you can't even get into the internal affairs school or if you're not willing to go."
The female teacher smiled and looked at everyone. "This is a magical era. Ordinary and extraordinary coexist. Some students aren't willing to live an ordinary life and hope to walk the path of extraordinary."
"Then, is there no hope if you can't get into the war school?"
"No, there is!"
After the female teacher said this, even if the students knew a little, they were still a little excited. Rumors were just rumors. The news from the teacher's mouth was more trustworthy.
"The first one is the most dangerous one. Join the military!"
The female teacher looked at everyone, and her smile disappeared. She said in a slightly serious tone, "I think everyone should know this. Joining the military is the easiest path for ordinary people to come into contact with the extraordinary. If you kill enemies in the military, it will be a contribution. Many people in this class have relatives in the military. Everyone knows this."
"I think everyone knows the danger. The number of soldiers who die in battle every year reaches six digits!"
"But today, I'm not here to talk about the crisis. Even if you join the army, there are different choices."
As she spoke, the female teacher looked at the excited Chen Hao and smiled. "Chen Hao, tell me, what are the main armed forces in Da Xia Province?"
Chen Hao had an excited look on his face as he hurriedly stood up and said, "The first place belongs to Chang Wuwei, the strongest army in Da Xia Province!"
"The second is the Da Xia Province Army, which is responsible for guarding Da Xia Province and maintaining peace in Da Xia Province."
"The third is the Surveillance Hall, which is responsible for pursuing Wan Zu and his followers and maintaining public order."
"The fourth is the city guards of each city, responsible for the defense of each city."
"When the frontline is in turmoil, apart from the Surveillance Hall, the other three armed forces will enter the All-Heavens Battlefield to assist the frontline. They can be considered as the frontline reserves."
The female teacher smiled and said, "That's not wrong, but it's not comprehensive. Chang Wuwei is not a reserve. Chang Wuwei doesn't go to the All-Heavens Battlefield not because of his strength, but because the frontline doesn't need Chang Wuwei's help for the time being. "
"Actually, other than the four armed forces you mentioned, there are two more."
Chen Hao was a little curious. The female teacher smiled and said, "The fifth is the frontline army. Actually, there are some stationed in Da Xia Province. Of course, it's very difficult to encounter them, and they are also responsible for receiving new recruits.
"The sixth is the retired army. Everyone knows this. In fact, many of them are veterans who retired from the frontline or other large organizations. This is also a powerful armed force."
At this point, the female teacher hesitated slightly, but she still said, "Actually, there is a seventh force!"
Everyone was puzzled. Was there more?
"Yes, there is. The seventh is the guards of the major academies!"
"Don't underestimate the guards of the major academies. For example, the secondary academies in Southern Yuan are just secondary academies. Everyone should know about the school's guards. Director Huang is also a powerhouse at the ninth tier of Fifteen Jun."
"And this is just Southern Yuan. In Da Xia Province, the armed forces of the guards are very powerful. In fact, Wan Shi and even Soar are not rare. Together with some instructors and students of the War Academy, the strength of the academy is actually very powerful, even surpassing the power of the prefectural army. It's just that they are not as powerful as Chang Wuwei."
The female teacher said a few words, and everyone understood that they had overlooked this point.
"So what I want to tell everyone today is that even if you can't get into the academy, you don't have to worry about your future. There are many ways to come into contact with extraordinary power, but …
"Danger and opportunity coexist!
"If you can't learn as well as cultivate as others, then if you want to stand out, you have to pay a greater price, such as … your life!"
The teacher said seriously, "Students who want to walk the path of extraordinary power and those who can't get into the War Academy can consider joining the army. The frontline is the most dangerous, but the opportunity is the greatest. "Second is the prefectural army. You definitely can't get into Long Wuwei. The prefectural army recruits every year, so it's relatively safer than the frontline.
"Apart from the prefectural army, the Tempest Hall has also set up an academy, the Tempest Academy, but it's not famous. Moreover, the Tempest Academy is relatively crude. It's very likely that you'll be arranged to graduate as soon as you break through to Fifteen Jun and be sent to various cities for internship. It's considered as having practical experience in advance."
"…"
The teacher said a lot, but she mainly talked about joining the army.
In the end, the teacher changed the topic. "In fact, if you can't get into the War Academy and are worried about the pressure of the prefectural army, you can totally try the city guards. The assessment for the city guards is relatively simple, and the training system is more complete.
"Although Southern Yuan City isn't big, the city guards aren't weak either. Now everyone wants to go to Da Xia Province, but Da Xia Province is thousands of miles away from Southern Yuan. It's very far from home. Why not try the city guards right under your nose?
"The current leader of the city guards, Captain Zhang, is also a powerhouse in Wan Shi Tier 9. He attaches great importance to the reserve of the city guards and often instructs the new recruits personally. If there's a good seedling, he'll specially train them. The mayor also values the city guards very much …"
"…"
Hearing this, except for a few people, most people understood that the teacher was another lobbyist.
They didn't mind. They just needed to get used to it.
As graduation approached, all places needed to expand their reserve forces. Although Southern Yuan City was small, the mayor also wanted to train the city guards into elites.
The pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. Every year, many people in Southern Yuan City would seek refuge with the city guards.
Even if the students of Southern Yuan's secondary schools couldn't get into the war school, some of the students in Kaiyuan Tier 3 were quite talented. With some training, it wasn't impossible for them to reach Wan Shi Tier.
"Everyone, think about it carefully. Don't make a decision in a hurry …"
The female teacher didn't care about the commotion. After talking for a while, she allowed everyone to discuss freely. Soon, she walked to Su Yu's side.
She didn't come for Su Yu, but for Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao, you're in Kaiyuan Tier 3. Although there's hope for you to get into the war school, the chance is very small. If you can't pass the assessment, consider the city guards. Your father also works in Southern Yuan. The city guards can go home for three days a month. This is also a good opportunity …"
Chen Hao had a sad face. Why did she say that? I can get in.
I don't want to go to the city guards!
Why didn't she persuade Su Yu to go?
She was looking down on him!
The female teacher saw his expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Why? You don't like the city guards?"
"No … I still want to try. If I can't get in, then we'll talk about it."
Chen Hao was extremely depressed. If he really couldn't get in, then he would talk about it.
The female teacher didn't care. She quickly looked at Su Yu and said with a smile, "Su Yu, you're a seedling of the Civilization School. Instructor Liu has already talked to you, so I shouldn't persuade you. However, I'm saying that if you don't want to go, you can actually consider it.
"The City Lord is paying more and more attention to the city guards. You're a good seedling. If you go to the city guards, they won't let you do chores. There's a secret office in the City Lord's Mansion. You can go there for an internship. This is also a very rare opportunity."
Su Yu thought about it and said, "There aren't many opportunities for the city guards to go to the battlefield, right?"
"Very few."
The teacher thought he was worried and quickly replied.
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "I understand. Thank you, teacher. I will think about it."
'Think about it means no. What a joke. I'm not going.'
In the past, it was actually hard to say.
If his father was at home, if Southern Yuan City really offered some good conditions, it was not impossible for him to stay in Southern Yuan.
He knew about the secret office. It was a very important institution in Southern Yuan. It was very safe and had good treatment.
But now that his father had run away, what was the point of staying in Southern Yuan?
Moreover, if he stayed in Southern Yuan, could he get the blood essence he needed?
Thinking of blood essence, Su Yu thought of a question and suddenly said, "Teacher, do you think the War School or the Civilization School has more blood essence?"
The female teacher was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Of course, the War School …"
"I mean the variety. As a research institution, will the Civilization School have more types of blood essence than the War School?"
"This … should be the case?"
The teacher was not too sure. She really didn't know, but she still said, "In terms of the variety, the Civilization School should have more. At least, the samples will be more than the War School. Some of the blood essence seized from the heavens battlefield that is not used will be provided to the Civilization School to prepare samples. The War School has more, for example, some blood essence that is helpful for cultivation. The number must be unimaginable."
Su Yu nodded slightly. He had thought about this before, but he was not sure. Now that the teacher said this, he was more confident.
The number was important, but the variety was more important.
If there were not many varieties, how could he continue to open the page?
He did not know the language, and even if he opened it, he would not be able to understand it. Could he ask others what it meant?
"It seems that … I still have to apply for the Civilization School!"
While Su Yu was thinking, someone outside the door shouted, "Su Yu, go to the Teaching Administrator's Office. Instructor Liu is looking for you."
"Got it!"
Su Yu responded, greeted the teacher, and quickly ran to the Teaching Administrator's Office.
…
When he arrived at the Teaching Administrator's Office, Su Yu was not alone.
Su Yu saw a few familiar faces. He was not too familiar with them, but he knew most of their names.
There were geniuses at the fourth tier of Kaiyuan, as well as geniuses who had mastered multiple languages of Wan.
Liu Yue was among them.
And at the Teaching Administrator's Office, it was not just Liu Wenyan. The principal was there, and there were also a few other instructors at the ninth tier of Thousand Jun. Their strength was considered top-notch among the secondary schools in Southern Yuan.
When Su Yu arrived, a few more students arrived one after another.
After seven or eight minutes, when everyone had arrived, the principal smiled and said, "The 25 of you are the hope of our secondary schools in Southern Yuan this year. If it's not the Civilization School, then it's the War School. The Scientific Research School recruits very few people from our side every year."
The principal was a martial artist, and Liu Wenyan was a scholar. But at this moment, this scholar suddenly interrupted, "Don't talk so much nonsense. Get straight to the point. There's no time to waste!"
The principal was embarrassed. This old thing, didn't he see that all the students were here?
He was such a bully. He really wanted to break this old man's leg.
The other instructors snickered. The principal glared at them, and everyone instantly fell silent.
At this time, the principal said directly, "Recently, Da Xia Province hasn't been very peaceful. Wan Zu has been jumping around everywhere. Although he's not a big deal, Southern Yuan is only a small city after all. There isn't enough power to guard this place.
"Therefore, what the academy wants is for you guys to go to Da Xia Province in advance. It's safer there.
"There have already been incidents of geniuses being attacked in other small cities. Wan Zu is creating chaos …"
Su Yu didn't say anything. Someone in the crowd hurriedly said, "Go to Da Xia Province … Then the assessment …"
"It's the same if you go to Da Xia Province for the assessment, and the chances are higher than Southern Yuan. There are more places in Da Xia Province. You guys are considered to have been specially approved. The academy recommended you to go. When you arrive in Da Xia Province, you just have to wait for the assessment."
"How long will that take?"
A girl said reluctantly, "There are still more than two months before the assessment. Are we going to stay in Da Xia Province all the time?"
"Not really. If Wan Zu's beasts are uprooted and all of them are killed, we can come back at any time."
The principal said angrily, "The key is that these scoundrels are creating chaos everywhere. Our Southern Yuan City is small, and we don't have enough power to protect you. It's better to be safe than sorry. If they have their eyes on you, there will be too many opportunities to attack.
"On the road, your families, and even the academy may not be able to protect you.
"Instead of splitting up, it's better to concentrate and send you guys away. In fact, if you guys leave, your families and classmates will be safer. Because … in Wan Zu's eyes, the others are not worth the risk. Everyone understands what I mean."
Everyone nodded. They were not stupid. Naturally, they knew what the principal meant.
Wan Zu wouldn't do anything without benefits. Killing a few ordinary people was meaningless. Instead, it would be life-threatening.
But killing a few geniuses was different. Within the academy, human geniuses had a price tag.
If they succeeded, the benefits would not be small.
Of course, the people in Southern Yuan weren't really monsters. However, Southern Yuan's defense was lax, and there were insufficient armaments. It was not uncommon for geniuses to be attacked in small cities.
Seeing that everyone understood, the principal said, "So everyone, make preparations. Those who are willing to leave, come to the academy in three days. The city guards will send people to escort you to Da Xia Province. When you get there, all the expenses will be covered by the academy. You don't have to worry too much."
Liu Wenyan didn't interrupt before. Now, she said lightly, "If you can leave, it's best if you go to Da Xia Province. Recently … it's been a little restless. In the past few days, Wan Zu has been active again. He has attacked geniuses, intercepted caravans, and even caused some bloodshed outside the city … Although he hasn't reached Southern Yuan yet. "
"But, something's not right!"
Liu Wenyan said softly, "We're not children anymore. We should have some judgment in this situation. The drunkard has an ulterior motive, or perhaps it's a diversion."
"Those who have been killed and revealed now are all small potatoes of Wan Zu. Many of them are lunatics of the Blood Fire Sect. These lunatics are brainwashed idiots who don't know what life and death are. They're just cannon fodder for Wan Zu."
"The real big fish hasn't shown up yet. They're creating chaos to attract Long Wuwei's attention and contain the power of Long Wuwei and the city guards …"
Su Yu couldn't help asking, "Teacher, don't you know about Da Xia Province?"
"Of course!"
Liu Wenyan smiled. "Da Xia Province is full of talents. How can they not know? But even if they know, can Long Wuwei not move? The prefecture guards need to be stationed and can't be moved easily. Long Wuwei is the strongest in terms of mobility. He has to move. "
"The Investigative Hall is also in a mess now. There are too many places that need to be defended because we don't know where Wan Zu's target is."
"Those in the dark can be unscrupulous and attack at will. So, even if Da Xia Province can destroy them in an instant, they won't be able to deal a thunderous blow if they can't find these small fries."
Liu Wenyan continued, "So, the most important thing now is to reduce the possible points of attack. Send all of you away so that we have stronger forces to eliminate those guys."
Everyone understood. So that was the case.
A student said angrily, "When I come out of the War Academy, I'll kill every single one of them!"
The instructors smiled but didn't say anything. Everyone had thought about this before. The key was that those guys were too difficult to find. Many of them had hidden very well.
"Then go back and think about it. Those who want to leave in three days, come to the War Academy. The city guards will escort you."
"Got it."
Everyone agreed. In the current situation, it seemed that they had to leave.
Leaving would actually reduce some of the burden on Southern Yuan. Everyone understood this.
…
After the others left, Su Yu had not left.
He came here to find Liu Wenyan and learn a few more Wan languages, including the Luo Yu. He had dreamed of this before. These days, Su Yu didn't continue dreaming.
The language of the Luo Yu was very niche. Su Yu hadn't learned it before. He didn't know if Liu Wenyan knew it.
As for going to Da Xia Province, Su Yu didn't have much of a reaction. He was the only one at home anyway. It was the same wherever he went.
The other instructors, including the principal, left one after another. In the end, only Su Yu and Liu Wenyan were left.
Hearing Su Yu asking about the language of the Luo Yu, Liu Wenyan smiled and said, "The Luo Yu is very rare in the All-Heavens Battlefield. Most of them stay in the Yi Mountain Boundary. Their language is not widely used, and their written language is even rarer. At least, the human race didn't get many. I really don't understand it, but someone in Da Xia Province must have mastered it …"
Su Yu didn't regret it. Seeing that his teacher didn't understand, he wanted to leave. Liu Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "Your father went to the All-Heavens Battlefield. Are you alone at home?"
"Yes."
"Then be careful at home …"
Su Yu turned around. Had the situation gotten so bad?
"There are arrangements on the streets and in the Academy. Other people have more or less Qianjun realm experts at home, so there's no need to worry too much about their safety. It's more dangerous for you to be alone."
Liu Wenyan hesitated for a moment and quickly said, "Actually … I don't quite agree …"
"Instructor Liu!"
A clanging sound came from outside the door.
Liu Wenyan's expression didn't change. He continued, "His father is a veteran of the Demon Subduing Army. Is he not trustworthy?"
"Anything is possible. Su Long has been retired for 18 years!"
"Then arrange for someone to protect him. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
"Right now, we can't divert forces to protect individuals!"
Liu Wenyan frowned and said unhappily, "I have no right to question your Long Wuwei's execution of military orders, but … I think Su Yu is fine. Of course, if you are worried, Su Yu will stay with me for the next few days. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible for him to go home."
"…"
The person outside the door hesitated for a moment as if making a decision.
And Su Yu was a little confused. What did he mean?
Of course, he didn't interrupt at this moment.
It was Long Wuwei's people outside the door?
Before coming here, he didn't see anyone else outside.
"Okay!"
A moment later, a voice came from outside, and soon there was silence.
Liu Wenyan looked at the silent Su Yu and said with a chuckle, "Wan Zu's people are lurking deep. We suspect that they have other purposes for creating chaos recently, so … we can't wait passively. We have to take the initiative to attack!"
"But we are not sure whether the school and the city guards have been infiltrated. Someone is lurking in the dark, so … we need an opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
Su Yu did not fully understand. He seemed to understand a little, but he was not too sure.
"Yes, an opportunity!"
"Southern Yuan is just a small city. There is nothing important here, and its value is not high. In terms of value, it is probably this secondary school in Southern Yuan! Or the City Lord's Mansion, but the City Lord's Mansion has city guards, so it is much safer than here. "
"We are not sure whether the other party has come to Southern Yuan, but just in case, we have to take the initiative, so we decided to lure the snake out of its hole."
"You … are bait, but not bait at the same time."
Liu Wenyan sighed. "If Wan Zu's people are in Southern Yuan, and there is a conspiracy, they will only make a few choices when the news of you being sent away spreads."
"First, they will attack in advance and kill you."
"Second, they will attack on the road, but the city guards are there. To kill the city guards, they will need to send a lot of people, and there will be troops from Da Xia Province on the way."
"Third, they will wait for you to leave, and take away some of the city guards to weaken the power of Southern Yuan."
"Fourth, they will give up Southern Yuan. Because if you are gone, we can concentrate more forces on defense, and they will have little chance."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "So what you mean is, if their target is really us, they may choose to attack in advance at this time?"
"Yes, they will jump out."
"Then if it is not us …"
"Then you will leave Southern Yuan. Da Xia Province is indeed safer. In a month or two, Long Wuwei can get rid of them."
Liu Wenyan said seriously, "So you are the bait to lure the snake out of the hole, but not many people know, because … we are not sure if they have eyes around."
"Then will we be in danger?"
"Most people won't, but it is hard to say for you, because there is no one at home."
Liu Wenyan said, "That is why I am telling you, in case you are unprepared and are attacked. You can stay with me for the next two days, and if nothing happens in three days, I will send you away. "
Su Yu thought for a moment and did not say anything.
Southern Yuan meant to send them away in advance just in case. It would be best if nothing happened. If something happened, they could take the initiative.
As for danger … it was safer to have arrangements than not.
If Wan Zu really targeted them, they would be safer now that there were arrangements in Southern Yuan.
Su Yu could understand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Teacher, I know. But is Wan Zu's infiltration so powerful? "
"Yes!"
Liu Wenyan sighed and said, "Otherwise, why are they called the rats in the gutter? They are too good at hiding. It is best if nothing happens in Southern Yuan, but if something happens, we can only be fully prepared. "
"Stay at my place for the next two days, and the reason is to learn the new Wan language."
"Okay!" Su Yu did not care where to live, but he was a little curious and asked, "Teacher, haven't you mastered the Power of Will? Can't you tell if there are Wan Zu's followers lurking around? "
Liu Wenyan smiled without saying anything, looking mysterious.
Do you think I can or can not?
I can deal with a rookie like you, but adults have complicated thoughts and will not expose their thoughts so clearly, especially those Wan Zu's followers. They are all lurking around, and those who are not afraid of death have died long ago.
