The martial arts students of Tongyou Academy are trained according to the method of three to six years.
Students who have just entered Tongyou College are usually evenly allocated to six rooms in the outer building.
After a year of training in the academy, about one-third of the students in these six rooms can stand on the threshold of extraordinary warriors after stimulating their energy and blood.
These one-third outstanding students will be promoted to the inner house in the second year to continue their training.
There are also about one-third of the inferior students who are still unable to make progress after stimulating their Qi and blood, so they will all be deposed and eliminated from Tongyou Academy in the second year.
About one-third of the remaining students, although they have not reached the late stage of Qi and Blood Realm, are still worthy of cultivation, so they will continue to stay in the outer house for one year of training.
This group of students is called the second-level students in the outer house, and they are also jokingly called "repeaters"!
But if these "repeaters" want to be promoted to an inner-level school again after the end of the second school year, the standards are different.
Because they have practiced for one more year than their fellow students, the standard for them to enter the inner house is that they must advance to the first level of extraordinary martial arts, the Wuyuan Realm!
If you fail to do so, you will also have to leave the college after the second academic year.
However, compared with those who were eliminated in the first academic year, starting from the students who left the outer dormitory in the second academic year, they can all claim to be from Tongyou Academy.
Because of this, among the lay students, most of the second-level students who are interested in further studies are practicing hard.
They are mostly aiming at the standard of practice to be able to enter the inner sanctum. In addition, out of dignity considerations, they rarely participate in competitions with first-level students.
Therefore, sometimes the leader of the foreign dormitory may not be the real top student in the outer dormitory. This has also happened several times among the previous students of the outer dormitory in Tongyou College.
Ever since Mu Qingyu broke off her engagement to Zhu Ying, rumors about Zhu Ying's challenge to Shang Xia at the end of the school year began to spread in the six rooms outside Tongyou College.
As one of the three protagonists of this incident, Shang Xia set up a lounge chair under the shade of a tree and lay on it. There was a pot of fragrant tea on the wooden table next to him, looking leisurely and content.
It is not influenced by any external factors.
The door of the small courtyard opened, and Yan Qi's footsteps moved from far to near.
Shang Xia woke up from his sleep, looked at the visitor and asked, "Have you found out?"
Yan Qi looked a little solemn and said: "Young Master, there is something strange about Zhu Ying!"
Shang Xia looked unsurprised, motioned Yan Qi to sit down and poured a cup of tea, saying, "Let's talk about it!"
Yan Qi drank a cup of hot tea in one gulp and said: "It is true that Zhu Ying is the only survivor of the Zhu family among the five surnames in Youzhou, but his qualifications are very average. After entering the outer house the year before last, although his cultivation is still
Even though I have worked hard, I have only just reached the middle stage of Qi and Blood after one year, barely falling into the inferior category and being deposed."
Shang Xia listened calmly as Yan Qi continued to speak.
"In fact, even if this person is in the second year of repeating a grade, his cultivation speed is not very fast. At the end of the second half of last year, he just entered the late stage of Qi and Blood."
"But things get interesting next. After returning from an annual vacation, in just one month, Zhu Ying has broken through the extraordinary barrier and entered the Martial Yuan Realm."
Shang Xia finally showed some interest: "It's interesting to go from the late Qi and Blood Realm to the Wuyuan Realm in one month!"
Yan Qi looked a little solemn and said: "Not only that, according to someone in the first room mentioned that in a martial arts test at the end of March, Zhu Ying had already mastered the Red Blood Palm."
Shang Xia smiled and said: "I entered the Wuyuan Realm in one month, and cultivated the Red Blood Palm in less than two months. Before Ganqing spent a year and a half in the outside world, he lived like a dog."
Yan Qidao: "In the words of Liu Zhifei, the instructor of Jiafang, Zhu Ying is called 'accumulating thick and thin'!"
"hehe!"
Shang Xia expressed his meaning with two words with rich meanings.
Yan Qi reminded again: "It has been almost two months since he mastered the Red Blood Palm. Maybe this person has mastered another martial art. I think this is the confidence he has to dare to challenge the young master's position as chief."
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't take it lightly."
Yan Qi said with a "hehe" smile: "The young master is so mighty, but we overthink it."
Shang Xia glanced at him and said: "Uncle Qi, your flattering expression and tone, coupled with your fierce appearance, are really inconsistent!"
Yan Qi touched his beard, which was like a steel needle, and said: "Young master, Liu Zhifei, the instructor of Room A, is from the Liu family. When Zhu Ying entered Tongyou Academy, it is said that he was greeted by the Liu family. What do you think?
Is the Liu family causing trouble behind Zhu Ying?"
Shang Xia suddenly remembered Zhu Ying's crazy appearance yesterday, shook his head and said: "It's too obvious. There may be people who follow the trend, but if they directly instigate calculations, the Liu family is not so shallow."
Yan Qi nodded and stopped talking.
Shang Xia's thinking began to spread at this time.
The situation is settled, the good-for-nothing and the break-up of the engagement are another classic routine.
I just don’t know whether Zhu Ying’s sudden rise is due to a golden finger or an old man living in his mind?
I have only been in this world for a day, and I have already witnessed two people who are suspected to have the aura of the protagonist.
But he was so stubborn that he stood on the opposite side of the two of them, just like a classic stepping stone that could not survive ten chapters in various routines!
Thinking of the protagonist's halo, Shang Xia asked again: "That Dou Zhong, what did the seventh uncle find out?"
Yan Qi said disapprovingly: "That's just a silly boy. He comes from an ordinary family and has a late-stage Qi-blood cultivation. His grades in Waishe are above average. If there are any advantages, his instructors think that this boy has some perseverance.
He is also very self-disciplined on weekdays, and such people are not uncommon in foreign homes. There is really no need for the young master to focus on such people."
He is very self-disciplined and has perseverance. As long as such a person survives, he will surely succeed. What he lacks may just be an opportunity.
Shang Xia ordered: "Keep staring at him and pay attention to his next plan."
Although Yan Qi didn't quite understand why Shang Xia valued that silly boy so much, since Shang Xia had given orders, he would naturally follow them.
"Where is Mu Qingyu? What is she doing?"
When Shang Xia mentioned this person, his tone was obviously much stiffer.
Shang Xia was not a fool, let alone a lustful person.
Regardless of whether she did it intentionally or not, this time Shang Xia was the gunman for her.
As the person involved, she did not explain or show up after the incident. If the situation at that time was not too embarrassing, and Mu Qingyu was only a teenage girl after all, Shang Xia would have suspected that this person had ulterior motives.
"She is in retreat and may break through to the Wuyuan realm."
Yan Qi was just waiting outside the door that day and was not present at the time. In addition, the people present deliberately concealed it from the girl, so Yan Qi did not know the specific situation at that time.
"Do you know the reason why she broke off the engagement?"
After breaking the window paper that day to break off the engagement, Zhu Ying fell into a semi-madness, and then the war was drawn to him, so that even now Shang Xia still doesn't know the real reason why Mu Qingyu broke off the engagement.
In fact, most people outside now believe that the reason why Mu Qingyu broke off the engagement was precisely because he was devoted to Shang Xia.
Yan Qi gave him a strange look and said: "At present, it seems that there are no external factors. It's just that Miss Mu doesn't want to be bound by a marriage certificate."
Yan Qi's expression did not escape his eyes, and Shang Xia said angrily: "Her matter has nothing to do with me!"
…………
On the first day of June in the year 843 of the Shenwu Calendar, after the end-of-year assessment of the outer dormitory of Tongyou College was completed, according to usual practice, the students in the outer dormitory will have a two-month holiday.
However, this time, because the second-level student in the first room of the outer building challenged the chief Shang Xia, the news spread in the college, and everyone was looking forward to this battle.
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
Sun Haiwei, the instructor of Bingfang, has been very unhappy with Shang Xia these days, but after all, he is the most proud disciple under his command and cannot bear to say anything harsh.
Shang Xia smiled and said, "Teacher, you should ask Zhu Ying about this."
Sun Haiwei frowned slightly and said: "It's best not to be careless. Zhu Ying is a second-level student. After all, he has practiced for one more year than you."
"And since you failed to attack Wuji Realm three days ago and rushed out of seclusion, your own strength will inevitably be affected... Hey, I should have stopped you in the first place."
Shang Xia could hear the concern in the lecture's words and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, the disciple has his own concerns."
Sun Haiwei looked at him deeply and suddenly said: "The senior leaders of the college are not here these days, so you can just take care of yourself!"
After Sun Haiwei left, Shang Xia was thoughtful.
At this moment, a loud shout from the martial arts hall of the outer house attracted Shang Xia's attention: "Chief Shang Xia of the outer house, Zhu Ying, a member of the first room, challenges you today, can you accept the challenge?"
Hearing this, Shang Xia walked towards the martial arts hall, only to see hundreds of students from outside houses already gathered here.
In the center of the martial arts hall, Zhu Ying held a three-foot straight sword and looked straight at Shang Xia who was approaching.
But Shang Xia's eyes directly ignored him and looked at the three teachers from Tongyou Academy.
Two of them are Liu Zhifei, the instructor of Room A, and Sun Haiwei, the instructor of Room B.
Among them was a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression and an ordinary appearance, which made Shang Xia slightly shocked.
