C230 Test (1/2)
Time passed by very quickly and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. It was also the time for the Ice Blue Imperial Family's martial arts exam, a grand event on the continent. The young geniuses from all over the continent had rushed to Ice Blue City from all directions.
Waiting for the academy's test, the current Ice Blue City was much more lively than usual. Many inns within the city had long since been filled to the brim. Even the emperor's fourth floor was filled with people who came to participate in the test.
Many of them were noble descendants from small kingdoms or empires across the continent, but they could only be considered ordinary people here. It had to be said that Ice Blue Imperial Family's martial arts academy didn't care about their identities.
Even if you are a commoner, you can still enter the academy. On the other hand, if you are only a trash, even if you are a prince or a princess, you should forget about entering the academy.
These few days, Long Tianhao stayed in his room the whole time. He did not go out, he comprehended the profound meanings of magic, and trained in the use of Spatial Magic and Fire magic. For this reason, Long Tianhao also sought Chi Yan's help.
After looking for a few books on fire magic to help himself with his studies, the Spatial Magic had a book gifted by the mysterious old man. There was nothing else that Long Tianhao needed to know, as in these past few days, he had gained a deeper understanding of these two types of magic.
At the same time, Long Tianhao also learned all of the other fire magic, and all of them were used in basic ways. On the other hand, Long Tianhao's study of the Spatial Magic also increased by a lot.
What he cared about the most was the fact that the Spatial Jump Magic was becoming more and more nimble. Its speed was faster and its distance was more and more mysterious. It was already able to use the Spatial Jump to travel a hundred meters, which was already pretty good.
”Huu huu, not only is there not the slightest tiredness from training, it even feels refreshed. Today is the examination time, I should head over earlier as well. I am really looking forward to the scene during the test.”
Long Tianhao smiled and muttered a few words, then got off the bed to wash up. After leaving the room, he went to look for Feng Baiyu to participate in the examination.
When he walked out of the room, he discovered that Feng Baiyu was already drinking tea in the hall, and had woken up earlier than him. When Long Tianhao left the room, he looked at Long Tianhao, and a warm smile still hung on his face.
”Bai Yu, I didn't think you'd arrive so early. I thought you'd forgotten. I was just about to go get you.”
Tch, who do you think I am? My memory is very good, isn't it? Then let's set off. There's still quite a long way to go to the academy, even if we have to ride on horses. I don't want to queue up if we're late. ”
”En, that's fine too. Let's go. I don't have much to prepare.”
Long Tianhao also nodded his head, and agreed with Feng Baiyu, he knew that it would be very crowded today, and it would be better to go earlier, thus, the two of them headed downstairs, planning to rush to the Academy's location earlier.
Just as the two of them went downstairs, they met Chi Yan, and upon seeing Long Tianhao and Feng Baiyu coming down, Chi Yan went forward to welcome them.
”Brother Long, Brother Feng, where are you guys going?”
”Brother ChiYan, we were just about to leave to participate in the Ice Blue Empire's Magic Martial School's student recruitment test. If we go too late, we won't have the chance.”
”Oh, I just happen to be going as well. Let's go together.”
”Oh ~ Brother ChiYan, don't tell me that you also plan to go to the academy to be a student?”
”Hahaha, I'm already this old, so what's the point of being a student? I want to see what kind of geniuses appear this year, and also to see your performances. Let's go, I'll go there every year, and I'm familiar with the roads.”
”Hur hur, alright then. Let's go.”
With Chi Yan leading the way, the three of them rode on top of their dragon horses. After two hours of travelling, they arrived outside of a forest.
”Brother ChiYan, why did we leave the city?”
”Hahaha, looks like you don't know yet. Even though this Ice Blue Imperial Family's Magic Martial Academy is located in the Capital, it isn't located in the city, but outside the city.
It is located in the forest in front of us, and is very well-laid out. Normally, it is very difficult to enter this place, and only in the past few days will you be able to relax your restrictions, otherwise not many people would be able to enter. ”
”I say, how come the map only indicates that the academy is located in the southwest and not the exact location? ”So it's in the forest outside the city. This forest is a natural defense, and the academy is indeed a good choice here.”
”What's so good about it? This place is in the wilderness, we won't have any chance to have fun in the future. I really regret accompanying you to participate in this test.”
Feng Baiyu looked at the forest in front of him. There was not a single trace of happiness on his face, instead, it was filled with regret.
”Alright, there are a lot of beauties in the academy. You might be reluctant to leave when the time comes, so let's go in. Brother ChiYan, I'll leave the guide to you.”
”Mm, come with me.”
After stopping outside the forest for a while, the three of them rode their horses into it. This forest was quite vast, and the Ice Blue Imperial Family's Magic Martial School was located at the heart of the forest. This forest wasn't completely safe.
There were quite a few Devil Beast in the forest, from low to high. However, because of the existence of the academy, these Devil Beast would usually not take the initiative to attack humans. As long as one was careful and did not anger the powerful Devil Beast, there would be no danger involved.
After travelling through the forest for half an hour, the three of them stopped. This was because an open area had appeared in front of them.
Many buildings had appeared on the empty ground. At this time, it was already bustling with noise and excitement. Quite a few people had already arrived, waiting for the start of the test.
The Ice Blue Imperial Family's Magic Martial School covered an extremely wide area. Around the academy, there were enchantments protecting it, preventing Devil Beast s outside from entering. In front of the academy was a huge plaza, where all the people who came to take the test stood.
Some were alone, some were in groups of three or five. From the way these people dressed and the way the crowd divided up, one could tell their identity. There were many people surrounded by servants.
They should be commoners, but no matter what, everyone's purpose in coming here was to enter the Ice Blue Imperial Family's Magic Martial School. Because once they entered, their life would change.
Long Tianhao and the other two all dismounted and placed their dragon horses to the side, while they walked towards the plaza.
”I didn't expect so many people to come already. How many people are recruited here every year?”
Hehe, this is only a part of it. Many people haven't come yet, and it's always like this. Every time, the academy would recruit a student, and every year, there will only be a few dozens of them.
”Eh, it's so exaggerated. The recruitment conditions in this place are really harsh. Those who wear uniform should be students from the academy.”
”Un, they are all students of the academy and are responsible for the order of recruitment. Everyone who wishes to participate in the test must first register.”
Then, I will accept the test in order. The two of you will also have to take part in the test, hurry up and register. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first.
”Yes. Brother ChiYan, you should go back to your work first. We will take care of this matter here.”
”Alright.”
Because Chi Yan had something to do, he left first, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the two people's sight. He did not know where he went, while Long Tianhao and Feng Baiyu headed towards a relatively small registration office.
