"This enrollment election is not only more rigorous than before, but also uses different methods. You have all seen these ten giant swords. This sword is called the Sword of Enlightenment, which contains the supreme sword meaning. Whether you can join my Longyan College depends on how much you can comprehend the sword meaning." Gong Hongru continued.
"The Sword of Enlightenment, this is the treasure of Longyan College, the Sword of Enlightenment!" As soon as Gong Hongru finished speaking, exclamations were heard in the square.
The Sword of Enlightenment is said to be the most precious treasure of Longyan College and also the treasure of the college. Not to mention the common people, even the heads of the aristocratic families and even the tutors of this college have never seen it.
No one would have thought that today, the Sword of Enlightenment would be openly displayed in the square and become the assessment criterion for the college entrance examination.
Although Mu Hanyan had never joined Longyan College in her previous life, she had heard of the legend of the Sword of Wisdom. However, she had never expected that the assessment criteria for this admissions election would be the comprehension of the Sword of Wisdom.
First, Gong Hongru was responsible for supervising the election, and then he took out the school's treasure. Could it be that this enrollment election has some special significance?
In the viewing seats in the distance, Mu Beichen looked at the ten giant swords, his hands bare and his face solemn, and thought to himself: It seems that my guess was right, it is indeed because of that incident, otherwise Longyan Academy would not have moved out the old monster Gong Hongru, let alone taken out the Wuxin Sword.
"Also, this election assessment is a bit more dangerous than in the past. Don't force yourself. If you are not strong enough, it is best to withdraw early." Gong Hongru continued.
There was complete silence below, and no one left.
Many people have been waiting for years for today's election. If they miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. Furthermore, these people are either the elite of the elite families or the children of ordinary people who are desperate for their future. Many have been training since they were in their teens, so how could they be scared off by the word "danger"?
"In that case, I declare that the Longyan College admissions election has officially begun." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gong Hongru's mouth.
As soon as the words fell, the horn sounded again.
The sound of the horn was so desolate and distant, as if it took people through time and space and back to the ancient battlefield with thousands of troops. Whether it was the young swordsmen preparing to participate in the election, the civilians watching the excitement, or the heads of the noble families in the audience seats, their hearts were lifted.
Thunderous cheers also rang out in the square.
Soon, a new batch of Longyan Academy disciples will be born. They are the elites among the elites of the major families and the elites of the entire Anyun Kingdom. Perhaps, a legendary generation that will be famous for thousands of years will emerge among them. Everyone is full of expectations.
Soon, the first ten young swordsmen entered the selection area.
"Each of you has half a quarter of an hour to comprehend the profound meaning of the sword. When the time is up, you will use the sword techniques you have comprehended to attack the trial monument next to the Sword of Wisdom." An instructor wearing a Holy Dragon Sword Robe announced the assessment rules to them.
The rules are very simple. In fact, Gong Hongru has already explained them briefly. If they don’t even understand this, there is no need for them to participate in the election.
Soon, the ten light swordsmen came to the Wuxin Sword, stared at it for a moment, and then closed their eyes in thought.
Ten mentors stood beside them, staring at them intently, and at the same time set up an invisible barrier to cover them, to prevent the strong and the masters from gathering their energy and transmitting their voices, and quietly revealing their insights to them.
However, their caution was obviously unnecessary. After Gong Hongru's previous warning, which sounded more like a threat, who would dare to bring such bad luck?
Besides, Longyan College even took out the Sword of Enlightenment, which is enough to show the importance it attaches to this enrollment election. Coupled with the intimidation of Gong Hongru, who would have such courage?
Half a quarter of an hour is not a long time, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it seems to be extremely slow.
Gradually, the ten young swordsmen showed an expression of difficulty on their faces. Their faces turned red and then gradually turned pale.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a young swordsman held his head and let out a shrill scream, as if he had collapsed.
The instructor beside him slapped him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Immediately, several young disciples came forward and took him out of the arena.
"Puff!" Before the crowd outside could understand what was happening, another young swordsman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs went weak and he fainted on the ground.
Soon, the young swordsman was also taken out of the arena.
Next, seven more young swordsmen either collapsed and screamed, or vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Only one person was still struggling to hold on, but even if he risked his life, he could not hold on to the end. Just when half a quarter of an hour was about to end, he let out a wild roar, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
Outside the field, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.
Only then did they realize that Gong Hongru's previous words were not alarmist. This enrollment election was far more dangerous than before.
The sword meaning of the Wuxin Sword was obviously too mysterious and profound, so that these ten swordsmen suffered mental breakdowns or were seriously injured and had to leave early.
Although these nine people were treated and given pills as soon as they appeared, and are no longer in danger of life, it is estimated that they will not be able to recover for at least three to five months.
Seeing this, another person turned pale and quietly left the group. Unlike the children of the noble families who had left before, these people were obviously from commoner backgrounds.
Mu Hanyan sighed slightly. If they were children of aristocratic families, it wouldn't matter if they got injured and had to recuperate for three to five months. There were enough elixirs anyway, so it wouldn't matter if they were delayed for a while. But it was different for children of common people. They were at the best age for cultivation. If they delayed these precious three to five months, they might regret it for the rest of their lives.
What made Mu Hanyan feel fortunate was that Tang Bufan did not give up, and the light in his eyes became even brighter.
It seemed that her prejudice against him was so deep that she hadn't noticed how resolute he was at the crucial moment. Mu Hanyan's eyes flashed back to the resolute look Tang Bufan had seen before his death in his previous life, and she resolved once again that regardless of whether or not Tang Bufan would be chosen this time, she would do her utmost to help him become a truly powerful warrior.
Immediately, another ten young swordsmen entered the selection arena. Their faces no longer had the previous high spirits, but were all as solemn as water.
"Let's start." The instructor had already read out the rules, so he didn't waste any time and just announced the start.
The ten young swordsmen quickly focused their attention, devoting all their energy to comprehending the profound meaning of the sword. It was clear that they were much more cautious than the previous ten, pouring their all into the attack from the outset. Unfortunately, some things can't be achieved through effort alone.
