The senior officials of Beilu Academy are also waiting for the final result.
Dean Tao looked at the setting sun and walked back and forth on the martial arts training ground. As the dean of Beilu Academy, he is considered calm and measured. In the decades since he has been in charge of Beilu Academy, he has never been like this.
Feeling restless.
"Coach Li, how is the situation?"
"Dean, the number of people who participated in this graduation assessment is forty-eight. Thirty-eight people returned. The number of deaths has been confirmed by other students to be six. In addition, there are four disciples, Ma Ruyuan, Wei Zhen, and Zou Yi.
Ye Chen has not returned and his whereabouts are unknown."
Li Cang said in a deep voice.
"Six people have been confirmed dead...In the past graduation assessments, only one or two people died accidentally. But in this graduation assessment, the number of deaths accounted for one-eighth of the total, which is much more than in previous graduation assessments.
! And there are still four people who have not returned. If they are also dead, more than one fifth, it will be a heavy casualty!"
Dean Tao frowned.
"Dean, the rewards for this assessment are much better than in previous years. A blood ring refined by an immortal is worth more than a thousand gold, enough for many disciples to fight for it... There is a saying
I don’t know if I should say this, but Zheng Zhicheng used a blood ring to reward the first place for no reason, I really don’t know what he was thinking about!"
Li Cang said in a muffled voice. As the chief instructor of the Upper House, he finally managed to teach a group of young warriors, but nearly 20% of them died before they even went to the battlefield to serve the Wu Kingdom. This made him not angry.
Dean Tao looked back at Zheng Zhicheng in the distance, waved his hand and whispered, "Zheng Zhicheng has the support of the national master Zheng Yuan, and he is young and frivolous, so he has no scruples in his actions. Don't worry about him. Is there any news about Ma Ruyuan?"
"
"Some disciples have met Ma Ruyuan before, and I called them over for questioning."
After Li Cang finished speaking, he called several young warriors among the students over.
Several young warriors looked a little flustered and tried to keep calm.
"Dean! Senior Brother Ma and Junior Brother Ye Chen had a small dispute before. They met in the Beilu Mountain. Ye Chen was unruly and unruly. Ma Ruyuan only said a few words and Ye Chen started to quarrel with him.
"
"The two of them were arguing alone. We were far away and couldn't hear clearly what they were saying."
"Then a group of twenty or thirty gray wolves appeared, and the two of them fell into the siege of the gray wolves. I and a few others tried their best to kill the wolves and tried to rush over to rescue them, but they were defeated by the huge gray wolf pack and had no choice but to
Evacuate. Senior Brother Ma and Junior Brother Ye Chen are surrounded by wolves."
"Senior Brother Ma and Junior Brother Ye Chen died young... I'm afraid the odds are stacked against them!"
The pink-faced young man said while squeezing out a few tears.
"Yes, Dean, we have tried our best!"
Several young people nodded and said.
"okay!"
Dean Tao knew at a glance that they were just trying to get rid of the relationship and put everything on the gray wolves. He couldn't help but frown and waved them away.
"This year, this academy finally gave birth to two martial artists with good qualifications in martial arts. They died together. What a pity! It's almost dusk now. It's time to come back early. If you haven't come back yet, it seems there is no hope. Li
Chief instructor, now start counting the wolf heads of each student to determine the ranking of this graduation assessment."
Dean Tao sighed.
Chief coach Li Cang was about to take the order.
Suddenly, an academy instructor hurried to the campus, announced loudly, and said joyfully, "Dean, we are back. Three students, Ye Chen, Wei Zhen, and Zou Yi, have returned from Beilu Mountain!"
"Okay, good to be back!"
Dean Tao was immediately overjoyed.
On the martial arts training ground, all the senior officials and students looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw three young martial artists, following the instructor, entering the martial arts training grounds.
Walking in the middle was a young warrior who was fifteen or sixteen years old and slightly thin. He was carrying a bunch of five huge wolf heads on his back. He was covered in bright red blood, his upper body was scarred, and he was facing the school grounds with a strong smell of blood.
Coming at you.
On the left and right sides are warriors aged 19 or 20, each carrying a wolf head.
In the martial arts school, dozens of students looked shocked. Almost all of their eyes were on Ye Chen.
"Five wolf heads!"
"How come there are five wolf heads in Ye Chen's hand?"
Many students felt their hearts freeze when they saw Ye Chen carrying a bunch of wolf heads on his back.
In order to compete for the top three places in the graduation examination, or even the first place, many children from wealthy families among them spent huge sums of money to buy rare wolf heads from other students. At this time, Ye Chen suddenly rushed out and returned to practice martial arts with five wolf heads.
On the school field, many students feel stressed.
If you can't get into the top three, your previous huge financial investment will be in vain.
"Ye Chen, Wei Zhen, and Zou Yi should have gone into the mountains to hunt together. Maybe more than half of the wolf heads Ye Chen carried on his back belonged to Wei Zhen and Zou Yi, but the two senior brothers asked him to carry the wolf heads on his back.
I'm just back. Junior Brother Ye Chen has just entered the sixth level of the body refining stage. It would be good to have one or two wolf heads at most." A young man from a wealthy family who had just spent a lot of money to buy two wolf heads didn't believe it at all, and still had some luck in his heart.
, a disapproving retort.
"Senior Brother Wei Zhen, did you team up to hunt these wolf heads?"
Someone in the crowd asked loudly.
"No. These were all killed by Senior Brother Ye Chen. Junior Brother Zou and I just killed a gray wolf as a favor to Senior Brother Ye Chen."
Wei Zhen quickly shook his head in denial.
"These wolf heads were actually killed by Ye Chen!"
The eyes of all the students were extremely complicated.
Many thoughtful people even noticed that Wei Zhen actually called Ye Chen his senior brother. What does this mean!? Wei Zhen and Zou Yi, two civilian students, are considered senior in the Upper House. Ye Chen, who is fifteen years old,
It was actually able to make Wei Zhen, a warrior who had endured hardships in the Upper House for many years, willing to consider himself his junior disciple.
But Wei Zhen’s statement is more credible.
Because there were more than ten scars on Ye Chen's arms, where the wolf's claws intertwined, he had at least been in close contact with several gray wolves at the same time, so he had such scars.
Wei Zhen and Zou Yi didn't have any scars on their bodies, and there were no obvious signs of battle. Even if they hunted together with Ye Chen, they would probably not be the main force in the battle, but auxiliary hunters.
Ye Chen came to the school grounds and felt dozens of burning eyes staring at him. He felt a little uncomfortable and threw a bunch of wolf heads on the ground.
"Five!"
The head coach Li Cang took a look and said, "The number of wolf heads you brought back is the same as the severe cold! Tied for first place... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Hey, no, one of them is the head of a wolf. This is
The head is obviously much larger than the others!"
Coach Li Cang suddenly looked shocked and looked up at Ye Chen.
"What, killed a wolf?"
"The alpha wolf is the strongest among the gray wolves, equivalent to the sixth level of the body refining stage. It is the most ferocious and cunning, and the most difficult to hunt. In every graduation assessment of the academy, very few alpha wolves are killed."
"In this way, Ye Chen actually surpassed Senior Brother Yan Han!"
The students were shocked.
The sun has set and dusk has arrived.
The one-month graduation assessment of Beilu Academy has officially ended.
Forty students from the Beilu Upper School lined up on the martial arts training ground, with wolf heads placed in front of them. Those who had been a little older had been embalmed with lime to prevent rancidity. Only those hunted in the past few days had a strong smell of blood.
"Wei Zhen, a wolf head."
"Ye Chen, five wolf heads. One wolf head for the alpha wolf."
"Severe cold, five wolf heads."
"Wei Xuanyu, four wolf heads."
"king......"
"In this assessment, Ye Chen killed the most gray wolves and had the highest rank. Ye Chen ranked first, Yan Han second, and Wei Xuanyu third! The first place was rewarded with a blood ring. The top three were each rewarded with a sword.
, boxing gloves. The rest, a letter of recommendation to the Wu Kingdom court. After you graduate, you can go to the royal city with this letter of recommendation, or join the army... In addition, there are five disciples who have not brought back
Langtou, failed to pass this graduation examination, I hope these five disciples will continue their efforts in half a year."
Dean Tao personally counted the wolf heads in front of each person, announced the ranking, and announced the list of students who passed the graduation assessment.
Many students looked at Ye Chen involuntarily, revealing envy and jealousy. The Blood Ring, a treasure refined by an immortal, was something that not many people in the Wu Kingdom owned. Even the children of wealthy families could only envy it.
It was actually snatched away by Ye Chen, a civilian warrior who came out of nowhere.
Ye Chen was a little surprised that he was the first.
He had been trapped on the cliff for nearly a month and had not had much hope for ranking. He just wanted to rush back to Beilu Academy to pass the graduation exam. He only killed four gray wolves early this morning, and one was Wei Zhen.
, after Zou Yi killed him, he voluntarily gave it to him.
Unexpectedly, he was the top student in Beilu Academy.
In fact, Ye Chen underestimated his own strength. At the seventh level of the body refining stage, the sword energy released in his moves was unique among the students of Beilu Academy. If other students had faced the four gray wolves alone, they would have died.
How many times.
"Senior Brother Yanhan, that blood ring is obviously yours. What kind of ability does Ye Chen have that he can actually get this treasure!"
A young man from an aristocratic family was dissatisfied and whispered to Yan Han.
Yan Han glanced at him with cold eyes, and sneered scornfully: "You want me to be a villain and snatch the blood ring? The blood ring can increase qi and blood by 10%. I don't care about any inferior magic weapon.
Care, what are you in a hurry for?"
"this......"
The kid from the aristocratic family suppressed the blush on his face and closed his mouth.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Ye Chen is finally about to get his first spiritual weapon.
Everyone, guess, after the graduation examination, whether he will go to the Wu Kingdom's court or go to Yunzhou to explore. Will he be alone or with a group of people?
I bet 100 coins that no one will guess correctly. o(n_n)o!
