The words coming from the crowd immediately triggered heated discussions around them.
The Ma family is already a very big family in their hearts, and there are many talented people.
Moreover, many people in the family are leading troops in the dynasty, which makes the Ma family even more prosperous.
However, even if they had not seen the current state of the Ma family head with their own eyes, they would not believe it at all.
A family head is actually more humble than a pawn.
You need to look at the person in front of you every step of the way, for fear of making the other person unhappy.
"That's not the head of the Zhang family in Xicheng. I heard that his son is now a junior general in the dynasty and has more than 500 elite soldiers!"
A voice came out from the crowd again, causing huge fluctuations.
If the Ma family is not famous, the Zhang family is an extremely famous family in this area.
But now he is still serving as a pawn for others, with an extremely humble attitude.
Whenever everyone recognizes the head of a family, there will be an uproar.
After all, there are many extremely powerful masters among them, and some even established their families after they retired from the war.
However, these people are all extremely famous and can be considered famous figures of the older generation.
Nowadays, these influential figures are gathered in the academy, but they are just like pawns. This makes everyone feel confused and confused.
There were many people with extraordinary vision among the crowd, and they could guess something from the middle-aged man's every move.
But they didn't say it subconsciously, after all, it was enough that they knew about it.
However, the middle-aged man who arrived at the attic shook his robe and sat directly at the main seat.
"Let's get started."
His voice was not loud, and it sounded like a casual remark, but it made all the elders nod hurriedly.
One of the purple-robed elders from Yong'an College jumped up and struck the bronze bell on the attic.
Suddenly a silent sound wave was transmitted, and the sound resounded throughout the inner courtyard.
This caused everyone who was discussing on the scene to stop immediately and look up at the attic.
"The finalist contest has officially begun!"
The voice resounded throughout the audience, making everyone's eyes look hot.
After all, this is the last show!
Especially for these senior students who are about to graduate, they all want to show their talents in this competition.
After all, they are about to graduate. Without any particularly conspicuous achievements, there is no way they can hold an official position in the dynasty.
So everyone wants to seize the early stage of graduation and make a little name for themselves, so that they can at least get a small official position after graduation.
The rules in the dynasty are strict, and each official position requires ability. Of course, the best choice for them is to become a military general.
Even if you only serve as a corps commander in the dynasty now, you will have a formal establishment again, and you will have a direction to move forward in the future.
If they don't have the strength to be specially recruited by the dynasty, they can only start as pawns if they want to gain military merit and climb up the ranks.
Their cultivation at the foundation level is indeed not bad, and they are much better than some tall and powerful soldiers.
But in the army, cultivation is not considered, only military merit.
That's why they want to use the simplest way to enter the dynasty and serve, without having to fight with their heads tied to their belts.
This competition will also attract the attention of the dynasty, which is why they are so active.
As long as they are noticed by the big shots who come over, they will be like pheasants flying to the branches and turning into phoenixes.
Especially some geniuses with little reputation and no support from big families have been waiting for this time.
Therefore, we attach great importance to this shortlisting test.
Moreover, this time's open and covert struggle is not limited to Yong'an College, there are also several particularly large colleges that will also participate.
It means that they must stand out among many geniuses in order to achieve the effect of reaching the sky in one step.
Every student has also mustered up their strength, and there are a lot of people who are ready to show their hidden cards, ready to detonate the whole audience at the most important moment.
However, the purple-robed elder jumped directly into the middle of the square.
"This time the five academies are gathered together, with the original intention of making friends through martial arts, so we must be measured in our actions."
"I will place you in the Nether Forest later. Of course, there will be no less danger."
"Not only do you have to face the dangers in the Netherworld Forest, but you also have to be careful of the top 20 people in the top 20 rankings of major colleges."
The voice of the purple-robed elder was blessed by the formation, so that the whole audience could hear it clearly.
After hearing this, everyone looked excited and felt eager to give it a try.
After all, being able to break out among so many people will definitely attract the attention of important people.
"You will all get a card recording soul crystals, and you can snatch them from each other. The more you get from this thing, the more useful it will be in the future."
"The rule is to clear the Netherworld Forest. If all the mixed crystal stones on your body are snatched away, you will lose your qualifications and be thrown out of the Netherworld Forest."
"Even if you pass the level successfully, once the number of people exceeds the limit, there will be a competition for the number of mixed crystals."
"The more mixed crystal stones the top 20 on the Heavenly List snatch, the more rewards they will receive."
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of streams of light shot out from the sky towards everyone, and the whole scene was extremely spectacular.
Qin Xiaofei raised his hand to catch the card, only to see the number three simply written on it, and nothing else.
Although he didn't understand the function of this thing, he knew it was good after hearing the name.
However, he still regards clearing the level as the most important thing at the moment. After all, only by successfully clearing the level can he enter the Demon Locking Tower.
The matter of rescuing Fairy Xuanji and Ding Yan was imminent and there was no need to delay. He must successfully enter the Demon Locking Tower no matter what.
After Murong Wenyan in the crowd caught the card, he subconsciously looked at Qin Xiaofei again, the murderous intent in his eyes never faded.
His purpose this time was very simple, just to let Qin Xiaofei die in the Nether Forest.
He had used a killer attack on his opponent before, and although the college did not directly expel him, it still punished him.
He will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, so he will definitely seize this good opportunity.
However, after seeing that everyone had received the cards, the purple-robed elder turned his head and looked in the direction of the attic.
After seeing the middle-aged man nod slightly, he nodded to the elders surrounding the square.
"start!"
As soon as the words came out, thousands of spiritual stones flew out from the sleeves of the purple-robed elder and were instantly embedded on the ground.
The surrounding area was suddenly lit up by bright light, and everyone's eyes were filled with white. A large formation began to move from the square.
In a flash of light, more than five thousand people in the square disappeared at the same time.
Each of the elders guarding the square were breathing heavily and their faces turned pale.
The freshmen on the treetops in the outer courtyard couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they saw this scene, looking surprised.
After all, they had never heard of a large-scale formation that could transport more than five thousand people at the same time, let alone seen it.
Middle-aged men seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they didn't look too surprised.
In fact, the transmission distance of this formation is very short, and it only brings the students to the center of the Nether Forest in the back mountain.
The use of formations is just a pretense of superiority, used to show the majesty of one's own academy.
However, using thousands of spirit stones at a time is just for the sake of face, which is more or less a luxury.
The middle-aged man looked up and looked ahead, only to see a mirror surrounded by zhenqi floating in front of his eyes.
In the mirror is the situation of the students just entering the Netherworld Forest.
