C46 (1/2)
Central State Great Zhou Dynasty, Imperial Capital's Zhaoge, Great Zhou Academy.
At this moment, in the outer court square of the Great Zhou Academy, dozens of teachers from the outer court were doing their job in an orderly manner. They were verifying the identities and results of the reference students who had successfully returned within the specified time limit.
”Beast core of a mid-stage wild beast, disqualified, eliminated!”
”Beast core of an early stage wild beast. Failed. Disqualified!”
”Late stage Beast Core, passed!”
A few families were happy while others were worried. More than 90 people who were lucky enough to survive had been eliminated in a short period of time.
The vast majority of the talented reference personnel were also defeated in the last test of beast hunting. Only a small portion of the reference personnel had obtained a late stage beast core. There were also a few outstanding youths among them who had obtained an early stage savage beast core. They were all shocked on the spot!
”Brother Shi, why have you come to the Great Zhou Academy?” Wu Hen, who was at the back of the line, found a chance to get close to Shi Lei. Her voice was lowered as she secretly asked Shi Lei about the doubts she suppressed in her heart for a long time.
”Hehe, Brother Liu, you don't know!” Shi Lei quickly stopped Wu Hen who was about to continue speaking. After looking around mysteriously for a while, he finally sneakily moved closer to Wu Hen's ear and said with an abnormally excited voice: ”Hehe, who knows which hero will get rid of Yu Ding Yi of the Yu family and the City Lord's daughter, Xu Yining!”
”Yu Kui of the Yu Family and Xu Jin of the City Lord have joined hands to investigate Tranquil East City's intentions in finding the culprit. In the end, this caused the people of Tranquil East City to become restless, and they were unable to find this murderer! ”
Ah!” ”Since the Yu Family made such a big commotion, how is our Liu Family now?” Wu Hen pretended to be shocked and asked Shi Lei with lingering fear in his heart.
”Haha, what can happen to your Liu Family?” With you, the Patriarch of the Liu Family, as the leader, how could those Liu Family disciples possibly have the ability to kill Ding Yi? ”Besides, I also heard that your Liu Family's Liu Wuzhi also died on the same day!” Shi Lei's face was filled with suspicion as he introduced her to Wu Hen in a low voice.
”Sigh, it's a pity. Our Shi family has always been at odds with that Yu family, but in the end, for no reason at all, we suffered through some unexpected calamities. Under the dual suppression of the City Lord and the Yu family, our days became more and more difficult! ”Fortunately, they have no proof that our Shi family did it, so we can't do anything to them in public!”
”Right now, Tranquil East City is a complete mess. My family's patriarch had no choice but to drag someone to get me a reference token and send me to the capital to avoid the limelight!”
”Damn, I don't know which bastard did this, but my Shi family was unjustly implicated.” But once I think about how much Yu Ding Yi's head has turned cold, I feel a lot more satisfied! ” Shi Lei sighed and whined at Wu Hen.
”Cough cough, it's been hard on you Brother Shi!” It's good that you're fine at home, it's good that you're fine! ” Wu Hen coughed lightly and comforted Shi Lei awkwardly.
”Haha, brother, don't worry. It's just the death of a member of the younger generation.” Their Yu Clan shouldn't be in such a dire situation! ” Shi Lei smiled innocently and comforted Wu Hen.
Right, Brother Shi! In this examination, do you have enough beast cores to use? ” Wu Hen quickly changed the topic and asked Shi Lei quietly.
”Sigh, I am ashamed to say that I only have a few mid-stage wild beast cores. I am afraid that I will not be able to help you.” This time around, I've really failed all my tests. I reckon the two of us will return to Tranquil East City together! ” Shi Lei obviously misunderstood her and started pouring water for Wu Hen.
”Actually, I also had the chance to obtain a late stage Beast Core, but that guy chose to detonate his own Beast Core right before he died. Fortunately, I used the Petrification Martial Spirit to protect myself in time. Otherwise, I probably won't be able to come back! ” In the end, Shi Lei got angrier the more he said it. He gritted his teeth and beat his chest.
”Hehe, Brother Shi, you and I know each other. Take this first, just in case! ” With a thought from Wu Hen, a wind-attribute Initial Stage Beast Core appeared in his hand.
”Brother Liu, this thing is too valuable!” You gave it to me, so what about your grade? ” Shi Lei panicked as he tried to shirk his feelings by waving his hands at Wu Hen.
”Hehe, Brother Shi Lei, just keep it. Since my brother Wu Hen is willing to give you this, how can he not have any backup! ” On the side, Liu Shuang'er winked at Shi Lei mischievously.
”Haha, that's true! Brother Liu possessed the strength of ten thousand elephants. Even though it might be dangerous to obtain an early stage savage beast core, it wasn't impossible for him to defeat it! In that case, thank you very much! ”If there's a chance in the future, I, Shi Lei, will do whatever it takes for you!” Shi Lei laughed heartily as excitement filled his bright eyes. After quietly killing the beast core, Shi Lei once again promised Wu Hen in a righteous tone.
When Wu Hen participated in the second round, Shi Lei had witnessed Wu Hen's power of trillions. Now, Wu Hen was willing to give Shi Lei an Initial Stage Beast Core, which made Shi Lei extremely grateful. After all, being able to enter the capital's Great Zhou Academy was not only the glory of every youth, but was also a guarantee for the safety of the young man's family.
The students of the Great Zhou Academy represented the elite of the Great Zhou Empire. They would also come to work for the dynasty the very next day. And there was also a powerful family that would be willing to provoke a strong enemy for no reason at all.
Especially for remote small cities like Tranquil East City, if a small family like the Yu Family were to enter the Zhou Academy, they would respect and avoid the Shi Family. Who would dare to cause trouble for the Shi Family?
