Chapter 29: Quota! [Update 3]

beg***!!!!

…

"That one." Huang Shan whispered.

Ye Chen took a look, then moved, jumped out from the lawn and rushed over.

"Ah! Ah!"

The thorn dog beast was suddenly startled, and when it saw Ye Chen, its golden eyes suddenly became ferocious, and it rushed over with a low growl.

Ye Chen's eyes were solemn. He waited until the thorn dog beast caught up to him before he broke into a run. A tug-of-war began, with Huang Shan flying through the mountains and forests, one in front and one behind. As Huang Shan had told Ye Chen the route in advance, Ye Chen already knew the way back to the village. As long as he could get rid of the thorn dog beast and return to the village safely, it would mean that he was a sixth-level warrior!

Whether getting rid of the Thornhound or avoiding it by other means, it is considered as meeting the standard. After all, being able to escape from the hands of a monster of the same level that is best at running is itself a symbol of strength!

Huang Shan was quite surprised to see Ye Chen's running speed. In a blink of an eye, the man and the beast disappeared from his sight. He saw that this place was dangerous, so he took his son back to the village first.

An hour later.

At the entrance of the village, Huang Shan and his son stood by the guardrail, gazing at the dense jungle in the distant mountains, looking somewhat uneasy and anxious. At this moment, a figure came over from a distance and came into their sight.

“I’m back!”

"Very good!"

Huang Shan and his son cried out in surprise and rushed over. Huang Shan looked Ye Chen up and down and saw that his body was intact, not even his coarse cloth clothes were torn. He was surprised, but more of a delight.

"Luckily you're back!" Huang Shan was still frightened. "I thought about it afterwards and realized that I was too reckless. Fortunately, you're okay. Otherwise, how would I explain to the villagers?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."

Huang Shan smiled and said, "Now, you are already a true sixth-level warrior. When I report to the elders, perhaps you can replace Bendao and go to the inner sea to participate in the God War Candidates."

Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he said heavily: "Thank you!"

Huang Shan smiled and said, "It's okay. By the way, before you go to participate in the Inland Sea War, you have to go to the village academy, pass the standard assessment, and get a medal. In this way, when selecting candidates for the God War, the adults can directly draw you through the backstage."

Ye Chen asked: "Can I enter the academy?"

Huang Shan nodded and smiled: "It was a bit difficult at first, but now you have such a strong power, plus I have introduced you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Ye Chen felt relieved and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Huang Shan laughed and said, "Let's go back and have a feast to celebrate."

…

The next day, Huang Shan took Ye Chen and Huang Lu to the only academy on the island.

From a distance, you can see majestic buildings standing in the green shade, with black and white wall tiles, unique style, carved wooden doors, and exquisite craftsmanship. Over the years, the culture of this island has been greatly improved.

At the entrance of the academy, there were several gatekeepers, who were extremely tall, wearing animal skins and looked extremely strong. When these gatekeepers saw Huang Lu, their eyes lit up and they shouted happily, "Brother Lu!"

Huang Lu's gloomy face revealed a hint of smile, and he nodded and said, "Good morning, how many of you are on duty today?"

"Yes." Several doormen nodded in response, and then quickly looked at Ye Chen. They found that the man was only as tall as their waists. They couldn't help but look curious and asked in surprise: "I heard that someone from the outside world came recently. Is this him?"

Here, outsiders are like discovering aliens on Earth.

Huang Lu smiled and said, "His name is Ye Chen, you can call him Brother Ye."

"Big brother?" Several people looked at Ye Chen strangely, "He should be younger than us, right?"

Huang Lu knew Ye Chen's actual situation, his face turned serious, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Ye is older than me. Don't look at him as he is not as tall as you, but Brother Ye is a sixth-level strongman!"

Several doormen were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened, looking at Ye Chen in surprise, and asked, "Is the rumor true? Did he really lift up the sacred stone in the center of the village?"

Huang Lu nodded seriously and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go in first."

Immediately, under the leadership of Huang Lu, the three entered the academy and walked on the fragrant path of green grass. Many men and women wearing animal skins and coarse cloth, although they were extremely tall compared to Ye Chen, still had childish expressions. When these brothers and sisters of Huang Lu saw Ye Chen, they were all curious, and those who had a good relationship with Huang Lu came over to explore the secrets.

Not long after, we passed a large courtyard and saw many figures coming in and out, as well as cheers and criticisms.

Huang Lu looked much happier and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, this is the East Courtyard of our academy. Inside is the fighting arena. Many people come here to compete."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Huang Lu brought Ye Chen and Huang Shan to the residence of the dean of the college. They saw that it was an extremely majestic building with black tiles and white bricks, which was quite grand and exquisite.

Huang Shan looked around and sighed, "Back then, we also graduated from this academy. I wonder if the dean still remembers me. He was my teacher back then!"

After sighing for a while, he said to Huang Lu: "You go and train first, I'll take care of this."

Huang Lu nodded and glanced at Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, come on!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly. Facing the people in this simple village, he felt very relaxed, just like when he was with his sister.

After waving goodbye, Ye Chen and Huang Shan walked to the dean's residence. There were two young doormen standing at the door. When they saw Huang Shan, one of them looked surprised and asked, "Master Huang, why are you here?"

Huang Shan took a look at the man and found that he was from Gaopo Village. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Er Niuzi, so you are in the college, working as the dean's doorman."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The young man scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I have no skills and I am afraid of death, so I can only do this easy job."

Huang Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please inform the dean first and tell him that Huang Shan wants to see you."

The young man nodded quickly and looked at Ye Chen curiously, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He ran in quickly. After a while, he trotted out and said with a smile: "Master Huang, the dean asked you to come in."

Huang Shan laughed cheerfully, and walked in with Ye Chen, crossing a courtyard. There were two pine and cypress trees and a small pond in the courtyard. The environment was elegant, quite like a Beijing courtyard. In front of the courtyard, there were several stone steps, and on top was an ancient house with an exquisitely carved wooden door, exuding a scholarly atmosphere, but the interior decoration was a bit wild.

The two walked in, and saw an old man in his seventies sitting at a dark wooden table in the inner hall. His temples were gray, his face was square, and he was full of righteousness. His eyes were deep, and occasionally there was a gleam of brilliance. There was a stack of paper books at hand, and a long spear stood beside him. At this moment, he took a bag of tea leaves from the drawer. He heard footsteps and looked up. He saw the familiar outline of Huangshan. He was dazed for a moment, and felt that the past years were just like yesterday. His voice couldn't help but have a bit more vicissitudes, and he said kindly: "Xiaotian, do you have time to come and see me? Come, sit first."

Huang Tian was somewhat moved. He stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Greetings, teacher!"

"Don't be so polite." The old man made the tea and suddenly saw Ye Chen. He looked at him carefully with surprise, then stroked his beard and smiled, "Is this the person from the outside world?"

Ye Chen clasped his fists and said, "Junior greets the master!"

The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, everyone sit down."

Huang Tian did not give in anymore, and took Ye Chen to sit down, full of emotion, talking about the interesting things in the past, sighing and lamenting. Seeing that the two seemed to have forgotten his existence, they chatted passionately, and did not interrupt them, nor did they show any impatience. From beginning to end, they were calm and neither humble nor servile.

Two hours later, Huang Tian sighed and realized that Ye Chen was beside him. He immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Oops, I forgot the time while chatting."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "No problem."

The old man looked at Ye Chen deeply, with some admiration in his eyes, and said gently: "Young man, which is better, the outside world or us?"

Ye Chen didn't hesitate too much and said frankly: "This is good!"

"Oh?" The old man was interested and smiled, "What's so good about us?"

Ye Chen said without hesitation: "Pure, peaceful, and not competing with the world."

The old man nodded slightly, looked at him thoughtfully, his eyes were full of deep meaning, then turned to look at Huang Tian, ​​smiled and said: "Why did you bring him here?"

Huang Tian said solemnly: "To be honest, teacher, Brother Ye has reached the sixth level of warrior. He is very interested in our God War Competition. So, I brought him here to see if you have any way to give him a warrior medal and let him go to the Inland Sea to participate in the battle on behalf of the island!"

"Sixth-rank warrior?" The old man's pupils shrank, his expression became serious, he turned to look at Ye Chen, looked at him carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Are you really a sixth-rank warrior?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Master Huang has already tested it for me."

The old man glanced at Huang Tian and saw that it didn't seem fake. He nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Very good, don't worry, you have passed the elders' test, you must not be a bad person. I can apply for a medal for you, and I can also recommend you to become one of the candidates for the God War on this island!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he said heavily: "Thank you!"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, we should thank you. In this God War, our island currently has only one sixth-level warrior among the younger generation. According to the rules of the past generations, each of the outer islands has three places for participants, and the minimum requirement is to reach the sixth-level warrior! You just made up a place for us. Otherwise, our island would have only one participant, which would be too embarrassing."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

The old man smiled and said, "You don't look under 18, but when the temple staff ask you, just insist that you are under 18. After all, you cannot participate in the competition if you are over the age."

Ye Chen nodded, he understood this.
