"What? My nephew has reached the peak of the third rank! He is so amazing! Doesn't that mean he can definitely get into the Great Xia Academy?"
"It was okay in previous years, but it's bullshit this year! I heard there are candidates with the fifth rank!"
"That's right! Everyone has made great progress, so it's still the same."
"No! However, the next generation of Da Xia is much stronger than we were back then. After overcoming the disaster, Da Xia is destined to rise."
"Hahahaha… let's stop talking and go have a drink!"
"Go, go, go... Don't go home until you're drunk!"
“…”
Various conversations took place in different cities and locations in Daxia.
Compared with the past, it seems that a lot has changed, but it also seems that nothing has changed.
A few days later, under the watchful eyes of the public, the Daxia Martial Arts Examination officially began.
Many martial arts masters also returned to Daxia and participated.
This time, a special combat assessment involving exotic beasts was set up. The scale was greatly increased compared to before, and the entire process was broadcast live.
Generally speaking, the rules are somewhat like a combination of the original martial arts exam and the Great Summer Pride Competition.
So, during the next few days of live broadcasts, the whole of Daxia was in a state of national carnival.
Countless people watched the live broadcast and habitually posted comments.
"Yes, yes... This year's candidates are so strong! There are many peak third-grade students, and the fourth-grade is considered to be among the best. There are even high school students who have cultivated to the fifth grade."
“Hahaha… our Great Xia really wants everyone to be like a dragon!”
"This class is much stronger than the last one. No, it should be many times stronger than all the previous martial arts exams!"
"That's a good strike! It killed the fourth-grade primary beast in seconds! Another genius has emerged from Tianyang City! Even better than the last year's number one scholar Lin Ping'an."
“Is the person above an idiot? Is he worthy of being compared with Lin Tianjiao? Lin Tianjiao is a civilization master! What was the environment like a year ago? What is the environment like now? How can they be compared?”
"Humph! Lin Ping'an wasn't even a warrior at the time, and he just broke through to the fifth rank a while ago. This high school student is already at the fifth rank before he even enters the academy! Everyone has their specialties, and in terms of martial arts alone, this little prodigy is still stronger."
"Indeed! Lin Tianjiao's strength lies in his ability to create heavenly-level skills. As for his talent in martial arts, it is not worth mentioning at all."
"That's right! That's right! At that time, he just benefited from the "Painful Demonic Body" technique, which caught the other geniuses who had not discovered the technique off guard. And now, there is news that Lin Ping'an's cultivation level has been improved!
"Oh, I also remembered that Lin Ping'an was not in the last hunting team of Xincheng Daxia Academy. He has been completely lonely!"
"It's just a shooting star! It just shines a little. When everything is equal, the shooting star will naturally pass by and no longer shine."
“…”
I don’t know how, but as they were chatting, the topic turned to Lin Pingan, and several groups of people started to quarrel with each other.
Before long, it developed to the level of a real offline fight.
Ever since Da Xia's overall strength increased, there have been countless incidents of people starting fighting without even talking.
The saying that knights break the law with force is not without reason.
When people have power, they become arrogant and their temper becomes worse accordingly.
Especially if the spiritual aspect fails to keep up, it will be even more difficult to control oneself.
Today, the people of Daxia are also facing these problems.
Compared with those warriors who had trained in the coldest days of winter, started to hone their skills since childhood, and went through numerous obstacles before breaking through to the next level.
These people only suffered a little pain and quickly improved their strength, which was equivalent to taking a shortcut.
It is normal to be like this due to the lack of some other aspects of training.
A few days later, the new champion of Daxia Military Examination was announced.
The man came from the Demon Capital City, his name was Su Lie, he had high-level cultivation of the fifth rank, and held an alloy knife in his hand, making him invincible.
In the actual hunting ground, he killed from east to west, beheading countless strange beasts. In the end, the strange beasts even avoided him when they were far away.
Moreover, he was also the top scorer in liberal arts.
Originally, like Lin Ping'an's class and even before, most of them were just at the entry level of cultivation, and their liberal arts scores were entirely based on their studies and IQ.
But now, he has achieved fifth-grade cultivation in high school, and his mental strength has long surpassed that of ordinary people.
Having a photographic memory and the like are basic operations that occur when one's mental strength has risen to a certain level.
Ultimately, the higher the level of cultivation, the faster one can learn and acquire knowledge.
Unless you don't like studying, it is a given that people with high cultivation will get high grades.
Of course, remembering does not mean mastering, nor does it mean being able to apply it flexibly and draw inferences about other situations.
After the exam, Su Lie, as the new generation of top scholar in both civil and military studies, also chose the top university in Daxia - Daxia Academy as his application target.
For some unknown reason, there suddenly began to be a trend on the Tiandao network comparing the current top scorer with the previous top scorer.
Some people advocate for the new top scholar Su Lie, while others support the previous top scholar Lin Pingan.
There are quarrels and fights one after another on various social platforms, and the frequency of offline fights is also quite high.
"Su Lie is the number one person in the Golden Age. He is the real future of Daxia and a true genius. Lin Pingan is not worthy of being compared with him."
“Bullshit, how can you compare yourself with Lin Tianjiao? How can a mere Su Lie be qualified? Lin Tianjiao created a series of amazing martial arts such as “Blood Essence Art”, “Blood Coagulation Art”, “Heaven Devouring Magic Art”, etc., which benefited more than tens of billions of warriors. This is the real future of Daxia.”
"Haha! Strength is what matters to a warrior! Just wait! It won't be long before Su Tianjiao will be able to break through to the Grandmaster level and reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
"Get lost! Lin Tianjiao can create a heavenly-level technique, so he must have already become a Grandmaster."
"Damn it! Is this how you play it? Let's go! Let's go to the arena! I'll use my fists to show you who's right!"
"Fight me if you want! I'm not afraid of you! Tell me your address! It's up to you whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight!"
“…”
Just like that, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
The new school term at Daxia Academy has begun.
On the Internet, the comparison between the new and old top scorers is becoming more and more intense, and the dust has never settled.
Especially the new top scholar Su Lie, who openly spoke in his own capacity on the social platform of Tiandao Network, which pushed the discussion to a higher level of heat.
[Young people are naturally young and each generation is stronger than the previous one. I am looking forward to learning and exchanging ideas with my seniors. 】
Although he remained calm and did not exaggerate, the confidence or arrogance between the lines was clearly revealed.
There is no doubt that this new top student will challenge Lin Pingan after entering the school.
As to whether it is a competition or an attempt to step on the predecessors to reach a higher level, it is still unknown.
