Chapter 55 Jian Cheng’s reaction

The cool and dim light from the sky shines through the window sill into the spacious and warm Panshui Hall.

There are one or two hundred people in the hall, all students from various schools, Xue Zheng, and more than twenty teachers. Each of the seven main schools is equipped with three teachers with their own strengths, so that students can find more suitable teaching methods.

Soon, the Imperial Academy Superintendent and the scholars from the Seven Studies also arrived.

The academic officials such as Jian Cheng, Xue Bo, Jiao Yu and others stood on the stage at the front of Panshui Hall, looking at the students below.

"Today is the last quarterly exam in the twenty-seventh year of Dao Qi."

Jian Cheng stood at the head of many academic officials, watching the more than a hundred students studying below, and his voice echoed in the Panshui Hall: "This winter exam is a little different from previous years. The students' assessment has not changed.

It is enough for the Xuejiao to report to the chief and the new Xuezheng, but the winter exams for the Xuezhengs are different."

He paused for a moment and said: "In the past, during the winter exams for students, only four students would be selected to sign up for the 'Chengyuan Examination' on the ninth day of the first lunar month of the following year, but this year is different. This year's Chengyuan Examination

For the Yuan Hui Examination, the quotas for each party have been doubled, so my academy has eight places to participate in the Cheng Yuan Hui Examination."

The students below were a little surprised when they heard this, and felt quite strange.

After all, only the top three in the Chengyuan Examination are rewarded. In the past, selecting four academics to participate in the examination was already selecting the best four. What difference does it make even if there are eight students?

"At the same time, Chengyuan Palace also announced the rewards for this year's Chengyuan Examination."

Jian Cheng glanced at everyone and said: "The top ten will get a suitable magic weapon, and the top three will all get a 'Tai Qing Jade Dew Pill'. And the leader, in addition to being able to enter the Tianyuan Secret Treasury to select a treasure, he can also

Two additional snake demon maidservants with good magic powers will be rewarded."

The students below, Xue Zheng, were startled when they heard this.

The Taiqing Jade Dew Pill is an extremely precious treasure pill among the Taoist sect's external pills. It is enough to increase the mana to 330 years. This reward is indeed higher than the previous Chengyuan Trial.

It is the old rule that the leader can enter the Tianyuan Secret Treasury, but... two additional snake demon maidservants are also rewarded?

Which one is this from?

Among the crowd, Lin Lan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Two serpent maids?

This immediately reminded him of Meng She's two sisters who were imprisoned in Jingtiantai, and Cheng Yuan's trial actually used these two snake girls as rewards for the leader?

You don't need to think about it to know that this must be a trap.

Jingtiantai was powerful in the imperial court, so it was natural that Chengyuan Palace could cooperate with the plan.

Obviously, Jingtiantai also suspected that Dream Snake was among the young practitioners in Chonghua City, so he used this method to lure Dream Snake to appear.

It's just... how could Dream Snake not see such an obvious situation?

Even if it is a conspiracy and the dream snake is given the opportunity to save her sister, the dream snake may not participate, right?

Unless the target of Jingtiantai is not the dream snake.

"The winter exam has officially begun."

On the stage, the Supervisor said calmly: "Please start reporting your work to the chief student of each school, and promote the new academic chief, as usual, starting from the ranking of each school in the last quarterly examination."

As Jian Cheng finished speaking, a martial arts instructor immediately walked out, bowed his hands to Jian Cheng and Wu Xue Bo, and then said: "There are nineteen students in my martial arts school. The chief is student Qian Feiyang. Please invite Jian Cheng."

The Prime Minister gave me the jade plaque of the title of chief student."

A martial arts student heard this and immediately stepped forward.

"Okay." The supervisor nodded slightly, waved his sleeve, and an identity jade token flew into the hands of the martial arts student.

Many students looked at this scene with envy.

The biggest function of the chief student's status jade badge is that he can browse through it at will three times in the library of his subject, and there are also special visualization pictures of supernatural powers and artistic conceptions, while ordinary students can only go to the library once per semester and visualize the pictures.

You also have to queue up and borrow them in turn.

Lin Lan watched this scene calmly in the audience.

Of course he had no reaction.

As early as a few months ago, he could browse through the library of any school at will, and the six magical powers he learned also had artistic conception diagrams.

Therefore, the chief student's reward has no effect on him.

Immediately, the martial arts instructor said again: "Jian Cheng, no one in our martial arts school has mastered the rudiments of supernatural powers this season, and there is no new academic who needs to be promoted."

Jian Cheng frowned slightly and said, "There hasn't been a new martial arts master this year, right? You have to practice hard."

The three martial arts instructors immediately responded, and the martial arts students below also responded in unison.

"The next instruction."

As the teachers of each school came out to report their work, the status of the chief students was also handed out. However, in martial arts, chess, painting, and medicine, there were no new academic leaders in the four schools in a row this semester.

No student has developed the rudiments of supernatural powers.

Jian Cheng's face also looked a little downcast.

Although there are only a dozen or so students each year who develop the prototype of supernatural powers and are promoted to Xuezheng, they are equally divided into four academic quarters, and there are only a few Xuezheng in one academic quarter.

However, no new academics were promoted for four consecutive years, which made him a little unhappy.

Finally, when the calligraphy instruction came out, it finally brought him good news.

"Jian Cheng, during this semester of my calligraphy studies, two students have developed rudimentary supernatural powers. I would also like to ask Jian Cheng to promote them to Xuezheng."

Immediately, two calligraphy students came forward among the crowd of students below.

"There are two?"

Jian Cheng looked at the two students and asked, "I wonder how long it took the two students to refine the prototype of their magical powers?"

One person bowed and said: "Back to Jian Cheng, it has been four and a half years since the student entered the palace."

"Four and a half years?" The supervisor nodded slightly but said nothing.

It took four and a half years to develop the rudimentary form of magical power. This talent can't be considered bad, but it can't be said to be great either. It can only be considered as mid-to-upper-level.

After all, it takes most students seven or eight years to develop the rudiments of supernatural powers.

"Go back to the prison."

The other person straightened his back slightly and said loudly: "The student admission palace has just completed seven semesters."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight uproar in the entire Panshui Palace, and the eyes of the students and scholars also focused on that person.

Even the scholars from various schools on the stage couldn't help but look over.

Seven academic quarters.

That is, within one year and nine months.

It took less than two years to develop the prototype of magical powers, several times faster than ordinary students. This talent is definitely excellent!

The calligraphy instructors also had bright faces and felt quite proud.

After all, calligraphy was considered to be extremely weak among the seven main subjects in the past. Now, in the winter examination, two top scholars suddenly appeared, and one was even more talented. Naturally, he stood out from the crowd. It was completely different from before.

Mainly because in September this year, Jijiu, the master of their Renzong's bookstore, suddenly came up with hundreds of poems by the Imperial Master that would be famous throughout the ages. With the help of the talent of these poems, the bookstore's master

Young practitioners have made progress, let alone these little guys from Gongshu.

Therefore, in just three months, two students developed the prototype of supernatural powers.

"not bad."

Jian Cheng nodded lightly and warned the student: "Don't be arrogant and complacent just because you have some talent. You must know that there are green mountains and towers outside the mountains, and each mountain is higher than the other. There are many geniuses in the world who are far more talented than you."

The student immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, please remember this."

The scholar next to him was a little puzzled. He couldn't understand why Jian Cheng's reaction was so dull.

He still remembered that during the spring exam this year, there was also a student who had developed a rudimentary supernatural power in seven semesters. The supervisor praised him all the time, with a smile on his face, obviously he admired this kind of genius.

But now...why can we just say 'not bad' and be done with it?

Do you want to give them a blow to stop them from becoming complacent?

Jian Cheng's attitude immediately made the three scholars of calligraphy a bit puzzled.

What is going on?

"The next one is... Qin Xue." Jian Cheng looked at the three instructors of Qin Xue again.

A female instructor of Qin Xue immediately stood up to report her work. After giving out the identity jade badge of the chief disciple, the instructor of Qin Xue glanced at the people below, with a smile on her lips, and then said: "I am Qin Xue."

Study, this year only one student has developed the prototype of magical power."

She looked at the crowd of students below, smiled and said, "Qingyao, come up."

Qingyao?

Many people didn't think of who it was at first, but those who were familiar with the name immediately reacted.

There is only one person named Qingyao who is a student of qin studies.

Fan Qingyao?
