Chapter 25 Entrance Examination Quota
Listening to the voices outside gradually going away, Lin Shen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, he killed Tian Dian and destroyed his body, so he was a little guilty when he met the members of the Martial Arts Hall who arrested Tian Dian.
Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to remember him at all.
After calming down, Lin Shen walked towards Kong Hong's desk.
Kong Hong also noticed Lin Shen's arrival at this time, with a gentle smile on his face.
"I was looking for you, but you haven't signed up for the competition yet."
"I forgot it before, but now I remember it."
Kong Hong laughed dumbly, and took out a form for Lin Shen to fill out the registration.
While writing, Lin Shen pretended to ask casually: "Teacher, I saw the people in the martial arts hall just now. What are they doing in the academy?"
Kong Hong did not suspect him, sighed and said: "Yesterday, there was a murder case in the North District. One of the deceased was a student of our academy. The people in charge of the martial arts hall came to ask about that student."
Homicide? North District?
Lin Shen's eyes were fixed, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know too well." Kong Hong shook his head, "The person in charge of the martial arts hall said that they want to keep it secret and cannot disclose the specific details of the case."
Paused, he glanced at Lin Shen and reminded:
"Recently, you'd better not run to the North District."
Lin Shen's heart trembled slightly, thinking that Kong Hong meant that he went to the black street.
But after thinking about it, he realized that it was impossible for Kong Hong to know about this. Most likely, he was referring to the orphanage, and told him not to go back to the orphanage in the North District for the time being.
Sure enough, Kong Hong followed up and said: "When the North District stabilizes, you can find a chance to visit the orphanage."
Lin Shen felt slightly relieved, and calmly nodded in agreement.
"That's right." Kong Hong suddenly remembered something, and looked at Lin Shen with piercing eyes, "I heard some students discussing you this morning, and they said that your Blazing Sun Palm has broken through to the level of proficiency. Really?"
When Lin Shen performed the Blazing Palm at the Blue Rose Bar, Lin Shen was mentally prepared for the news to spread, and he was not surprised when he heard the words. He nodded and said, "Yes, I just broke through a few days ago."
Hearing Lin Shen's confession, Kong Hong's face showed undisguised amazement.
Lin Shen's previous two breakthroughs had already brought him a lot of surprises. Who would have thought that Lin Shen would surprise him again in less than a few days.
Proficient in the Realm of Blazing Sun Palm, coupled with the cultivation base of the fifth level of aerodynamics, this strength is enough to be listed in the top five among the ordinary students of Huailiu Academy.
Even better than some descendants from Hanpu families!
Kong Hong couldn't help but wonder secretly, why didn't he realize that Lin Shen was a genius before?
"That's right, you're making progress much faster than I expected!"
Kong Hong looked at the students in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
"It shouldn't be a problem for you to rank in the top five in this sparring match. If you work hard, you might even be in the top three!"
Lin Shen smiled noncommittally.
If Kong Hong knew that he had reached the seventh level of aerodynamics, even Chiyang Palm was only one step away from Dacheng, his eyes would pop out.
It’s just that he is always running the Lianfan technique in front of people, and the cultivation he shows outside is only the fifth level of aerodynamics. No matter how sharp Kong Hong’s eyesight is, he can’t see through his true cultivation.
"There are still two months before the big exam, you should plan to sign up for the big exam, right?" Kong Hong asked.
Kong Hong nodded, but did not ask Lin Shen which of the three avenues he wanted to apply for.
Generally speaking, if one chooses which sect's foundational technique to practice, one must apply for the affiliated Taoist academy of that sect in the future.
As Lin Shen practiced Chi Yang Palm, it was not clear which Taoist school he applied for.
"The notice of the big exam has been sent out, and our college has allocated 30 places this year."
Kong Hong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued:
"I won't hide it from you, out of the thirty places, twenty-three have already been occupied by the children of the aristocratic family, and the remaining seven places will be divided among ordinary students like you."
Lin Shen nodded calmly.
This kind of thing is very common in various colleges, and it is already known that the children of aristocratic families occupy most of the places in the final exam.
In fact, this cannot be said to be unfair.
After all, the cultivation conditions of the children of the aristocratic family are far superior to that of ordinary students, and their strength is naturally far superior to that of ordinary students.
There are very few children from aristocratic families whose cultivation base is lower than the fifth level of pneumatics.
Martial arts attainments are far superior to ordinary students.
In terms of pure strength, it is not surprising that they occupy a large number of places in the final exam.
Kong Hong continued: "There are only a few ways for ordinary students to get a place in the final exam."
"First, students who can reach the sixth level or above in pneumatics can be directly exempted from the assessment and get a place in the final exam!"
When Kong Hong said this, his tone was very normal, and he didn't notice the flickering light in Lin Shen's eyes.
In Kong Hong’s view, it would be good to have one ordinary student who can meet this requirement a year.
Ordinary students who can reach the fifth level of aerodynamics are already considered outstanding.
Huailiu College has only five or six people who have reached this level this year.
So he never expected that Lin Shen had already been promoted to the seventh floor of pneumatics!
"Secondly, if you get the top two in the sparring competition, you can also directly exempt from the assessment and get a place in the final exam."
"The last method is to go through the college assessment after registration, and only after passing can you get a place in the big exam."
After talking about the three methods, Kong Hong glanced at Lin Shen, smiled and said:
"With your current strength, you must have a share of the remaining seven places in the big exam. The difference is only whether you get it in the second or third way."
"If you can get the top two in the sparring competition, it will save a lot of trouble, and you can also get the reward of Zhengyuan Dan, which will benefit you a lot, so you must work hard in the next sparring contest!"
"I see, thank you teacher!" Lin Shen calmly nodded.
Seeing Lin Shen's 'firm expression', Kong Hong nodded in satisfaction.
For this student from a poor family, but relying on hard work to become an outstanding student among ordinary students, he sincerely appreciates it from the bottom of his heart, and naturally looks forward to seeing Lin Shen shine in the competition.
The work of the teacher made him yearn for the plot of students turning cocoons into butterflies with his help.
During the interval of drinking tea, Kong Hong had already made up his mind that if Lin Shen failed to get the top two in the sparring competition, he would buy Zhengyuan Pill for him out of his own pocket.
With his help and encouragement, Lin Shen must have quickly come out of the frustration of losing the sparring match, was reborn from the ashes, made a breakthrough in cultivation, and was admitted to Jiuyang Taoist Academy with a blockbuster in the final exam.
And because of Lin Shen, he will become famous far and wide, become a famous teacher admired by everyone, and be promoted to the principal of Huailiu College, and he is almost ready to conceive the speech after his inauguration.
Thinking of the beauty, Kong Hong was so happy that the corners of his mouth parted.
