Bailing Garden is located in the suburbs of Nanfeng City, backed by Bailing Mountain. This place has become the venue for the Imperial Academys Grand Examination several times.
On the second day, Li Luo and others followed Lin Feng and Xu Shanyue, two instructors, to Bai Ling Garden after making thorough preparations.
When they arrived at the White Spirit Garden, they found that outside the manor was already crowded with people, and various stalls formed a long street, extending in all directions, extremely lively.
Its not surprising, the grand examination of the Academy is a major event for each county. Although only top students from each academy participate, its precisely this that makes the competition even more fierce. Everyone wants to see which young talent will emerge from the crowd and become the new number one in Tian Shu County.
That is the greatest honor for a young man.
A group of people entered the White Spirit Garden, and they felt that the atmosphere was even more fiery. Countless noisy voices came from all directions, and their appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, the reputation of Nanfeng Academy was still very loud in this Tianxu Prefecture.
"Is this the top twenty of Nanfeng Academys current batch?"
"Wow, is that beautiful long-haired young lady Lü Qinger? I heard shes the number one person at Nanfeng Academy."
"This years university entrance exam, she is likely to be the first place."
"Its not necessarily so, Dongyuan Academys Shizhong is also very strong, its not certain that hes weaker than Lü Qinger."
"Which Li Luo from Nan Feng Academy is that? I heard Jiang Qinge is his fiancée? How detestable, how dare he defile my goddess."
"Ah, the one who looks the most handsome is Li Luo from Nanfeng Academy."
"Hmm, hes indeed handsome, but what else is there besides that?"
"Wealth and power, after all, are the young master of the Luolan Prefecture."
"Hmph, relying on family background is no skill at all, we should rely on our own strength."
"I heard he tied with Song Yunfeng, who ranked second in the Nan Feng Academys pre-exam."
"Damn it, youre so annoying, cant you just shut up?"
“......”
Many discussions along the way poured into the ears of the people in Nanfeng Academy, but apparently among them, the topics of Lv Qinger and Li Luo were the most popular, of course, the former was because of her strength, and the latter was because of his special reputation.
Not far away, on a high stone pavilion, there were also three figures standing here, their eyes fixed on the team entering the White Spirit Garden of Nanfeng Academy.
Two boys, one girl.
One boy was tall and sturdy, with fiery red hair that shone brightly in the sunlight. The other boy had a refined face and was somewhat slender and weak.
The last girl was dressed in green, with a slender and lovely figure, her facial features were also quite beautiful, especially on the back of her hands, there seemed to be green tattoos like vines.
These three people are not unknown, the red-haired youth is named Xiang Liang, from Tian Shu Countys Chen Xi Academy, and he is also the top student of this year, with extremely strong abilities.
The slender and weak young man named Zong Fu was the first person in Zhongyang Academy.
The petite green-robed girl named Chi Su was the number one person at Dusk Academy.
These three people are all strong contenders for the top ten in this years university entrance examination.
"Is that Lü Qinger? Looks like a formidable opponent." Xiang Liangs voice was loud and clear, his eyes locked onto Lü Qinger with intense battle intent.
"I sense a hint of danger from her." Zong Fu furrowed his brow and said in a low voice.
"The first person in Nanfeng Academy has never been simple, but you should also be grateful that we are not in Jiang Qinges session, otherwise, lets just wash and sleep." Chi Su Jiao smiled.
Xiang Liang nodded in deep agreement with Zong Fu, and sighed: "That Jiang Qinge is too terrifying, the 9th rank Bright Appearance, its simply frightening to death. People from her generation are really pitiful."
"But in this years Nanfeng Academy, only Lü Qinger and Song Yunfeng are worthy of concern, the others are not worth worrying about." Xiang Liang said confidently.
Although the school he was in couldnt compare with Nanfeng Academy, it was precisely because of this that the school could concentrate all its resources on him.
And people like him, although not many can be seen in the various universities of Tian Shu Prefecture, are not just him alone. Because in order to recruit these talented students, each university is willing to spend a great deal of money.
"What about Li Luo? I heard he tied with Song Yunfeng in the preliminary round," said Chi Su.
Xiang Liang heard this and let out a cold laugh, saying: "Thats because he relied on some special means to drag out the trial time, and in the end his spiritual energy was completely exhausted. If Song Yunfeng had been given one more second, Li Luo would have ended up in a desperate situation."
"This is just cheating, it wont work on the actual exam."
Chi Su heard this and suddenly felt a little regretful, saying: "Its really a waste of such a handsome face."
On the other side, Si Wens expression was calm and collected as he said in a soft voice, "Underestimating ones opponent is a great taboo. The fact that Li Luo can force Song Yunfeng to a draw is enough to show that he has some unusual abilities. In order to be absolutely sure, its necessary to test his true strength, only then can all the unstable factors be eliminated."
"Just leave this matter alone, Ill think of a way."
Xiang Liang pouted and said, "Suit yourself."
Chi Sus eyes flashed with a hint of light as he said, "You all received Master Shis message, right? He wants us to meet up tonight and discuss some matters."
Xiang Liang nodded, facing the governors son, who was also the only one who could rival Lv Qinger of Nanfeng Academy head-on, and he was also filled with apprehension.
"His face must be given some."
Zong Fu also nodded slightly and said, "His goal should be aimed at Nanfeng Academy. This coincides with our interests, after all, Nanfeng Academy has occupied the first academy in Tianxu County for too long, always getting the most admission quotas. If we can suppress it, it will be beneficial to each of our academies."
"Moreover, if it werent for this heavyweight figure, we probably wouldnt have been able to join forces either."
Although various schools will target Nanfeng School, they also have many competitions with each other. If there is no strong person to mediate in between, its basically difficult for them to form an alliance.
So this time Shī Fēng was able to stand out, which was what they were happy to see.
...
Li Luo and his group followed Lin Feng, Xu Shanyue to the dormitory in Bailin Garden, where Li Luo happened to be roomed with Zhao Kuang.
As two people were tidying up the dormitory, the door was suddenly knocked on. When Li Luo opened the door, a very flirtatious face appeared, revealing a corner of a book in his arms.
"Brother, want to buy some stuff?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Luo suddenly thought of those vendors who secretly sold unhealthy books at the entrance of Nanfeng Academy.
"Yu Lang, when did you switch careers?" Li Luo asked with a smile.
The person in front of him was Yu Lang, who had previously clashed with Li Luo and lost with a dramatic amount of blood.
Yu Lang said discontentedly: "This is first-hand information, with intelligence on top students from various universities, and the top ten predictions for the big exam based on this."
"Huh?" Li Luo raised an eyebrow, this guy really is quite clever, actually knowing to peddle this kind of information, and seemingly having prepared for it for a long time.
"Youre quite skilled at making money."
Li Luo gave a thumbs up and then bought a copy of the materials to show his support.
"Thats a must, these materials are the result of my hard work and dedication, theyre worth keeping." Yu Lang said solemnly.
Li Luo casually flipped open a page, and then his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, because he directly saw his own name.
Li Luo, Southern Wind Academy, Luolan Prefectures Young Master, former waste material, rising genius, suspected to be a Five-Element Water Phase, characteristics: extremely handsome, unfortunately being handsome does not provide any bonus in taking the top spot, final estimated probability of getting into the top ten in the Imperial Examination is extremely low.
Li Luo burst out laughing and was about to scold him when Yu Lang suddenly swept away like a gust of wind, and at the same time, a voice came from afar.
"This is all for your protection!"
Li Luo gritted his teeth, "I trust you like I trust a ghost. You rascal, dont let me catch you again next time."
