The Phantom Institute was very big, but there were not many people who could study here. At least in a place like the Fantasy Eternal Residence City, the Phantom Institute was the highest ranked cultivation sect. As for why he wanted to call it a academy, the truth was that it was simple and straightforward ? Because city lord of the Fantasy Eternal Residence City felt that he was a scholar, this place had to be called the Academy.
Zhong Jiuge stayed on the New High Street to buy a shop to do business. He was not too far from the Academy, and was, of course, just a resting place for himself. An Zheng and Du Shoushou, who had gotten help from the Lady Ye, succeeded as they led Xiao Qidao and the other two to the entrance of the Phantom Institute.
Generally speaking, sect s have strict rules for accepting disciples, which is held at a fixed time every year. The parents who were looking forward to seeing Cheng Long send their children to the various sect for selection at this fixed time. The lucky ones stayed behind, and the majority of them would be eliminated. Compared to the Great Xixi, the 16 states of the Youlan were a barbaric and barbaric place. Every year, many people would die in battles. Furthermore, each sect was closely related to the imperial power of their own country. Thus, sometimes, it was not necessarily a good thing to become a disciple of a sect.
On the other hand, why would so many people stay in such a vicious place, and so many more people come here to settle down?
No matter how cruel this place was, as long as they followed the rules, they would at least survive. The war between the sixteen kingdoms on the other hand, was like a fire that never stopped burning, devouring the lives of people at all times. In truth, the people who died the most in battle were the ordinary people.
Xiao Qidao was very strong, he didn't want An Zheng to carry him, and wanted him to walk on his own path instead. An Zheng asked him why. He said that his mother said that a man must be strong.
An Zheng laughed, and scratched Xiao Qidao's nose: "Cultivation, is not as simple as you think, it is not just about being strong. But strength is the most important point, so you have already succeeded in more than half of them. "
Xiao Qidao was very happy to be acknowledged by his brother An Zheng. He felt that he was really great.
When they reached the gate, they saw two familiar faces. Nanshan Street of Nanshan Street and his disciple Qu Liuer. As for the overseer at the entrance of the academy, he was swearing with a ferocious expression.
"Scram!"
The academy manager pointed at Mad Qu and scolded, "You think the academy is a shelter? If you are a person, you can come? "
Mad Qu said with a humble expression, "Great sir, listen to me. Didn't city lord previously announce that as long as they could pay the full amount, they could send their children to the Academy for test. After passing the test, he would be able to stay in the academy to study. Look... "You see, I've worked so hard to save up enough silver, why don't you just give us a chance?"
The overseer spat, "Scram, I have seen many poor people like you. Do you think you can change your child's life just by saving up enough money? This is not a place where you guys can come from. Scram quickly, or else I'll let the dogs bite you. "
In his hand, he was holding onto a huge mastiff. It looked like it was about the same height as the manager, like an ox. The mastiff looked at Mad Qu and Qu Liuer with its sinister eyes, as if it could eat them all at once.
Qu Liuer was so scared that she was trembling, she pulled on Mad Qu's sleeves: "Master, let's go."
The Mad Qu said angrily: "Where are you going! I've worked so hard to save up enough money for you, so that you can cultivate. Now that you have encountered such a small problem, you have to back off.
Qu Liuer's face paled, but he did not dare say another word.
The manager pouted: "I say, poor bastard, are you going or not? I don't want to repeat myself. "
Mad Qu suddenly knelt down on both knees and kowtowed continuously: "Great sir, please do well, please do well. It's not easy for us to save up enough money for our poor children. Can you just give us a chance and let our children go in and have a try? "
He took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and stuffed it into the steward's hand. "My lord, I beg of you, please do me a favor."
The manager kicked Mad Qu down, "Are you trying to kill the beggar? "A piece of broken gold. I can't even buy enough meat for a dog. Get lost!"
Mad Qu got up and continued to kowtow: "Great sir, I beg of you, wait for me to save some money and I'll pay you."
"Do I need your fucking drink?"
The supervisor kicked him again, "Scram? "If you don't scram, I will really let the dogs bite you."
The mastiff pounced forward and threw Mad Qu to the ground. The huge paw pressed on Mad Qu's chest, the dog lowered its head, and the liquid from its teeth dripped onto Mad Qu's face.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qidao clenched her little fists tightly: "Big Brother An Zheng, can you help them?"
Mad Qu struggled to stand up, but the mastiff was obviously enraged, it lowered its head and bit towards Mad Qu's neck. An Zheng let go of the cat, and the white cat, Xiao Se, jumped out from his arms. A white light flashed and it instantly landed in front of Mad Qu. The mastiff was standing almost as tall as a person, and the kitten was still small. Compared to the mastiff, it was like a baby that had just learned how to stand up and face a ferocious man.
However, no one expected that the moment the mastiff saw the cat, it was as if it had met its natural enemy. After screaming a few times, it immediately retreated. The cat walked forward one step at a time, and the mastiff dodged crazily until the overseer couldn't stand still and fell flat on his face. Then, the mastiff dragged the overseer into the academy.
The other guards ran over and struggled to hold onto the mastiff before finally saving the manager.
The steward was covered in dust and his face contorted in anger. He crawled up and looked over, and discovered that the one that frightened the mastiff was actually only a kitten that had not grown up. An Zheng walked over and hugged the cat, then pulled Mad Qu with one hand and stood up. When Mad Qu saw that it was An Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then, said thanks.
"Thank you for saving me, but if he let the dog bite me, he might soften his heart and let Liu'er enter the academy to participate in the exam."
An Zheng raised his hand and slapped Mad Qu right on the face, "I saved you because I wanted to, so you don't need to thank me. As for telling him to let the dog bite you, he'll let Qu Liuer in gently for the test ? That's why I hit you. This kind of bastard's arrogance, part of the reason is because you guys are used to it. Even if the mastiff bit you to death, do you think he would let you in? "
An Zheng laughed coldly: "Mad Qu, you make me look down upon you."
Mad Qu roared: What do you know! For the sake of making it easy for her to enter the academy! "
An Zheng shook his head: "There's something wrong with your mind, I can save your life, but I can't save your brain."
Mad Qu was about to attack him, but Qu Liuer grabbed his sleeves and begged him.
Just then, the manager walked over with a few guards, pointed at An Zheng and scolded, "Where did this little bastard come from, daring to cause trouble at the entrance of the academy!"
An Zheng raised his head to look at the manager, and then walked back. The manager thought that An Zheng wanted to run, so he brought his men and charged forward. An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer up, and reached out to wipe the tears on her face. "You have been protected too well by the Mad Qu, so you have not come into contact with the ugliness of this world. Do you know why that steward wouldn't let you in? Because you don't have the money to honor him. Mad Qu worked hard to save up enough money to pay for the test, but this kind of person would have to pay more than the test. "
He took out a piece of low rank spirit stone and passed it to Qu Liuer: "Take it."
Qu Liuer timidly caught it, but didn't know what to do.
An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer's hand and turned around, then pointed at the manager with his other hand: "Do you see his face? Smash that spirit stone that is in your hand over there."
Qu Liuer shook his head in fear, and did not dare make a move. Du Shoushou ran over in anger and grabbed the spirit stone from the side, then threw it towards the manager's face. Du Shoushou had already been struck by the marrow cleansing, and his strength was much stronger than an ordinary burly man. The spirit stone turned into a streak of light and smashed into the manager's nose. Immediately, tens of thousands of peach blossoms bloomed.
A piece of low rank spirit stone was worth tens of thousands of silver. After the supervisor saw what it was that smashed him, he immediately climbed down to pick up the spirit stone.
An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer's hand and walked in front of the manager before stepping on the spirit stone. He lowered his head to look at the steward who had a helpless look on his face and asked: "You look down on just one piece of gold, one piece of spirit stone can turn you into a servant ? Do you want it? "
The manager wiped the blood off his nose and nodded his head, "Yes."
An Zheng shook his head: "But I don't want to give it to you."
He bent over to pick up the spirit stone and put it away. "How can a person like you be a gatekeeper in the academy? I am extremely disappointed with the academy."
That manager had been tricked, and his expression was extremely ugly. However, he was not in a good position, because it was rare to see children casually using low rank spirit stone to beat people. Therefore, he was a little more afraid of An Zheng.
"This place originally belonged to my family, so city lord asked me to be the manager of the academy."
The supervisor explained, then carefully asked, "Who are you?"
An Zheng turned around and looked at Xiao Qidao: "I suddenly regret. What if I don't want to enter this academy?"
Xiao Qidao lifted his chin and said seriously: "Big Brother An Zheng has the final say, I'll go wherever you want to go, and I won't go anywhere if you don't want to, I'll listen to all seven of Big Brother An Zheng's decisions."
Du Shoushou also said: "What kind of place is this, it's so disgusting. Even if it is the best place in the Fantasy Eternal Residence City for cultivation, I would not want to enter. "
In fact, An Zheng wanting to enter the Phantom Institute was just to find a cover for himself. He had enough cultivation art s to cultivate in his mind, and plenty of experience. Compared to what academy, and compared to the average sect's teacher, they were much stronger. He just didn't want others to know his secret, so he decided to find a place to study. That way, no one would doubt him if he became stronger.
But now that the Phantom Institute was acting so shamelessly, he really did not want to stay.
Thus, when he looked around, he found that there were a few rows of buildings that were relatively tall on the other side of Phantom Institute. However, they seemed to be dilapidated and their doors were shut. There was a signboard at the entrance with four large words faintly discernible on it ? Tianqi Martial School. It was said that many years ago, he was a student of a famous academy in the Fantasy Eternal Residence City. The principal was the previous city lord, but ever since Mu Changyan killed him, the Tianqi Martial School had been ruined.
Mu Changyan intentionally built the Phantom Institute opposite of the Tianqi Martial School.
"Let's go there."
An Zheng pulled Xiao Qidao and Qu Liuer along: "It's just cultivation, I can't do that."
The steward who was being toyed with was stunned. Then, he cursed in a low voice, "Stupid b * tch." But he did not dare scold out loud, because he did not know where An Zheng came from. At this time, the cloth-clothed scholar, Mu Changyan, walked out of the academy with large strides. After looking at them, he said, "All of you, come in."
An Zheng turned around and asked Xiao Qidao, "Are you going or not?"
Xiao Qidao shook his head: "I'm not going, I'm following Big Brother An Zheng!"
