The Orthodox Academy began to accept new students for a day, and in just one day, more than six hundred people had signed up.
The Orthodoxy cavalry patrolled the academy, the priests of the Li Palace maintained order, the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education personally came up with the questions, and Priest Xin was in charge of the entire situation. Whether it was the registration or the examination on the second day, everything went smoothly.
Other than the results of the examination, those who wanted to become a new student of the Orthodox Academy had to pass two more stages. The first was the identity examination, which was mainly handled by the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education. With Li Palace acting, it was very easy to investigate the backgrounds of those examinees. In the end, six people were disqualified. The second stage was the interview, which was personally handled by Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six. As for Xuan Yuan Po, he had absolutely no interest in this aspect. It could even be said that he was following by the side of that Clear Lake Restaurant chef, unwilling to leave.
Chen Chang Sheng and Tang Thirty Six's standard was also very simple. They just needed to look at the candidate's speech and behavior. Of course, the most important thing was that the candidate must be pleasing to the eye. Looking at the disqualified candidates covering their faces and leaving, Chen Chang Sheng thought about how he was also one of these candidates last year. He thought about how he applied to all the Ivies but was tricked by the Divine General of the East's Mansion. He couldn't help but sigh at how quickly the situation changed. He actually went from a candidate to an examiner and felt a bit bad.
There were a hundred examinees who passed these three tests. These were the new students that the Tradition Academy accepted this year. What was somewhat unexpected was that the standard of these new students from Orthodox Academy was quite good. Although they came from relatively remote provinces, Jie had all successfully completed his Purification, and forty or so had already completed Initial Meditation. Chen Chang Sheng even found a few students with decent talent for cultivation, but what was most surprising was that out of the hundred new students, twenty or so had transferred from other academies.
Since he was shocked, the other academies mentioned here were naturally not the normal academies of the capital, but the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Temple Seminary, and the other Ivy academies that were equally famous as the Orthodox Academy.
Looking at the names on the list, Priest Xin was a little worried that something might go wrong and cause trouble …
"Most of these students have already succeeded in their initial meditation. They're not bad compared to the students from the provinces, but they're nothing in a place like Heavenly Academy. They're definitely not valued, so they want to transfer to us." Tang Thirty-Six said, "Since they weren't valued in the first place, their original schools shouldn't care too much."
"But even if … it's eaten by others, it'll still taste good." Priest Xin swallowed the indecent word with some difficulty and said, "And the situation has been rather tense recently."
"The so-called All-School Martial Exhibition is actually just the Tianhai clan using their power to suppress others. It doesn't have much to do with the academies themselves."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "In addition, Chen Changsheng is the future Pope. The Six Ivies are all under his control. What's so special about having a few students in advance?"
Hearing these words and thinking of how Tang Thirty-Six had pointed at Bie Tianxin and cursed the two Storms of the Eight Directions at the gate of the Orthodox Academy yesterday, Priest Xin knew that Tang Thirty-Six truly did not care. Shaking his head, he no longer brought it up.
Of course, the recruitment of new students was not as simple as an examination.
In the next few days, the Orthodox Academy became incomparably lively. The Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education sent quite a few craftsmen to work, turning the formerly quiet campus into a bustling construction site. Fortunately, in the spring of last year, this place had already undergone a thorough renovation. The foundation had already been laid, so in a very short period of time, the entire project was smoothly completed.
The Orthodox Academy had an enormous amount of unused space. There was no need to use it all. Only a small part of it was enough to accommodate these one hundred new students. The small building that Chen Changsheng and the others were used to living in, as well as the forest and lake that held a special meaning to them, were separated by a newly constructed wall. They still maintained their relative independence and presumably would not be too noisy in the future.
The library was protected by an array and those books were not easy to move, so they were left outside, open to all students.
The garden that was separated from the wall, near the Hundred Herb Garden and the Imperial Palace, now had a new name: Bie Garden.
When Priest Xin heard this name for the first time, he couldn't help but ask, did this name have anything to do with that dejected Bie Tianxin that day?
New bedding was delivered, new teaching materials for the Orthodoxy were delivered, new uniforms were distributed to the hands of the new students, smoke rose from the kitchen of the cafeteria, and water sprayed into the sky from the fountain, bringing a great deal of coolness to the scorching summer night. Everything had been prepared. The new students nervously and excitedly waited for the day of classes.
Tomorrow, the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education would send over the teachers they had chosen over the past few days. At the same time, they would also send over a large sum of money.
At night, Chen Changsheng walked around the Orthodox Academy to see if there was anything out of place. Only then did he realize that the Orthodox Academy was actually so large. He had been here for an entire year, but he had actually only been in a tenth of the area.
Looking at the brightly lit library, looking through the window at those students hungrily gazing at the books of the Orthodox Academy, he felt very good.
His teacher was the previous Principal of the Orthodox Academy, and he was the current Principal of the Orthodox Academy.
The Orthodox Academy had been abandoned under his teacher's hands, but now it seemed that it was about to be truly reborn under his hands.
This sort of feeling was truly very good, even though even now, he still did not understand why Tang Thirty-Six had done such a thing.
After returning to the small building and finishing treating Zhexiu, he and Tang Thirty-Six checked the list of new students one last time. To their surprise, they discovered a very familiar name and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Has he been here?" Chen Changsheng pointed at the name and asked Tang Thirty-Six.
"I also haven't seen him. I heard that he's still in the Mausoleum of Books. He had a junior brother from the Li Palace Academy come and sign up for him."
Tang Thirty-Six asked, "If you think it's against the rules, I'll have someone bring a message and tell him not to come."
Chen Changsheng replied, "It's fine if it's another transfer student, but if he really comes, the Li Palace Academy will definitely not agree."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "It's not like we're crying and begging him to come, so why do you care so much?"
Chen Changsheng thought that this was true, so he changed the subject and asked, "What about Bie Tianxin's side?"
They were both keenly aware that Bie Tianxin had suffered such a great humiliation that day. He was assuredly holding back his anger and would seek revenge in battle.
Tang Thirty-Six pointed at the pile of challenge letters on the bookshelf and said, "Right now, there are already one hundred and thirty-four matches waiting for us. When there are so many lice, what itch is there to be afraid of?
"Where did the Tianhai clan get so many experts?" Chen Changsheng was somewhat confused. He thought to himself, with so many cultivators obeying the orders of the Tianhai clan, wouldn't that be enough to destroy a country?
"If it was one of those small countries in the northwest, the Tianhai clan could exterminate them with a wave of their hand. But if placed in the context of the entire continent, it's actually not too exaggerated. The Mount Li Sword Sect would definitely be able to send so many people. " Tang Thirty-Six said, "And it should be about time now. Presumably, after dealing with this batch, they'll stop for a while."
Chen Changsheng asked, "Can we deal with them?"
"Of course not, not to mention the fact that there are experts like Bie Tianxin among them." Tang Thirty-Six said, "Or else why would we need to recruit so many new students?"
Chen Changsheng thought it over, then said, "It's best if we don't fight. I'm worried that there will be injuries."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "Without experiencing battle, how can they quickly grow? Their foundations have always been poor, so it's only natural that they work even harder. In addition, this matter mainly depends on you. "
After saying this, the two of them took down the pile of challenge letters from the bookshelf and began to arrange them on the floor. Chen Changsheng earnestly began to calculate while Tang Thirty-Six used a pen to record on the side. They first picked out all the lower level Ethereal Opening students, and then Chen Changsheng chose the corresponding students to fight. As for how to choose and why to choose, Tang Thirty-Six also did not understand. Just as he had said, this matter depended on Chen Changsheng, because only he knew the Intellectual Sword.
What Chen Changsheng was currently doing was turning the hundred-some matches of the All-School Martial Exhibition into one battle.
His sword was all the new students of the Orthodox Academy.
How those new students would fight would depend on his sword style.
Seeing Chen Changsheng wholeheartedly calculating, Tang Thirty-Six suddenly felt somewhat sorrowful, saying, "Your fate is truly good."
This was not the first time that someone had said that Chen Changsheng's fate was good, and it was also not the first time that Tang Thirty-Six had said that his fate was good.
Chen Changsheng knew that Tang Thirty-Six was sorrowful about his fate. To be able to discover the Sword Pool in the Garden of Zhou, to be able to fight with those demon experts, to be able to meet Su Li, to bring them south, and thus learn those three swords. Shaking his head, he suddenly thought of something. Raising his head to Tang Thirty-Six, he asked, "Do you want to learn?"
This was naturally referring to those three swords.
In any case, when Su Li had taught him those three swords on the road, he had not said that he could not teach them to others.
He even thought about whether or not he could arrange for those three swords to be a compulsory course in the Orthodox Academy.
As for whether or not Su Li would be angry if he knew, that was a matter for the future …
Tang Thirty-Six did not reveal an expression of pleasant surprise, nor did he show any gratitude. He looked at Chen Changsheng like he was looking at an idiot.
Chen Changsheng asked somewhat uneasily, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
Tang Thirty-Six sighed, then said, "If I weren't familiar with you, I would definitely think that you were intentionally humiliating me."
Chen Changsheng felt very wronged, thinking, how did my good intentions turn into humiliation?
"I can't learn those three swords." Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and seriously said, "So in the future, please don't bring up this matter to humiliate my intelligence, understand?"
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why can't you learn it?"
Tang Thirty-Six angrily said, "I just can't stand to see that innocent face of yours! Why can't you learn it? You ask me, and who do I ask? You think that if you can learn it, everyone in the world can learn it? Then why has Su Li only taught the three of you in his entire life? Besides you and Qiushan Jun, there's also his own daughter. Why doesn't he go teach the disciples and grand-disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect? "
At this moment, Zhexiu suddenly opened his eyes on the bed. For some reason.
Tang Thirty-Six was in an extremely bad mood. He looked at him and yelled, "You know you're awake just by hearing her name? You're not playing dead anymore? Pervert! "
Zhexiu thought about it, then said, "Wait until I'm healed, then I'll come beat you up."
Tang Thirty-Six was not afraid of him. He sneered, "Then if you have the ability, then hurry up and get better! Don't talk so much useless stuff. I'm going to talk to Chen Changsheng, so you can go sleep. "
Zhexiu was rather straightforward. He could pick up and let go. Seeing that they weren't talking about Qi Jian, he really did close his eyes and continue to rest.
