C20 Pick a Disciple

"Ladies and gentlemen, elites from the Blue Maple Academy, cultivators from the Blue Wind Empire, I am the principal of the Blue Maple Academy, Ji Shan. Here, I will announce a piece of good news to everyone …"

He was a white-haired old man who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties. Although he was old, he gave off a very spirited feeling.

The moment his words left his mouth, the crowd burst into applause. The applause came wave after wave, completely covering up the rest of his words.

Su Shan raised his hands and lightly pressed down. The applause suddenly stopped and the crowd in the plaza quieted down once again.

"You should all know that every year, the Blue Wind Academy selects ten disciples from each of our two star academies in Mingzhou. Once you enter the Blue Wind Academy, you all will have the opportunity to head to the three continents to pursue a higher cultivation realm. What I want to tell you now is that this year, the number of disciples our Blue Wind Academy is recruiting will increase to fifteen … "

"Hua …" The crowd immediately burst into an uproar as everyone began to discuss with one another.

Waiting until the sounds of discussion had died down, Ji Shan continued, "Alright, everyone, please be quiet. Now, let's get senior Ji Ze, the one from the Green Wind Academy who is here to select students, to speak."

Just as Shan Yi finished speaking, a slightly fat man in a brown robe flew down from the top of a nearby building and directly towards the arena.

"Expert..."

"This Senior Ji Ze is definitely a Yuan Building Stage cultivator, I dare to bet."

"Pfft!" "What is there to gamble about? I can see that Senior Ji is definitely a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Wah …" "If I am able to reach this level of cultivation one day, then I will die with no regrets …"

Ji Ze's appearance aroused a flurry of discussion from the audience. To this, Ji Ze expressionlessly nodded his head, not stopping them.

"Damn it, isn't this guy too good at posturing?" Sooner or later, we will be struck by lightning! " Xiao Nan curled his lips in disdain. Wasn't it just a cultivator at the late stage of the Essence Transformation realm? If he didn't seek death, he would die!

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."

Seeing that the discussion below was getting more and more heated, with an endless look, Ji Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "I think all of the most talented students of the Blue Wind Nation should be here. This is my first time coming to the Blue Maple Academy, I won't say too much as I would like to join the Azure Wind Academy, but our Blue Wind Academy has very high requirements for students, only those who meet the requirements can enter …"

The drop of a needle could be heard, causing all of the cultivators to hold their breath as they listened to Ji Ze's speech. They wanted to see if they met the criteria to enter Qingfeng Academy.

"Next, I will announce the requirements to select a student. "First, age cannot exceed thirty …"

The hearts of more than half of the spectators below the platform grew cold. However, more than half of them were rejoicing in their good fortune that they had arrived too early. It was likely that they would miss such a rare opportunity in a few years.

Ji Ze swept his gaze over the crowd. Seeing everyone's reaction, he nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, "Second, those without a primary spirit root or those with muddy primary spirit roots, we don't want …"

Everyone in the audience was dejected, with only a few dozen people still being full of confidence.

"Third, if you are not smart, let's not …"

The remaining dozens of people looked at each other in dismay. "My lord, how can we be considered smart?" Generally, a person with good spiritual roots would have good perception. Was this senior speaking of a person with a sharp mind like him?

The truly shrewd people quickly reacted. They secretly thought about how to praise Ji Ze and how to build a good relationship with him.

"Alright, just these three points. If I say too much, I'm afraid you will have to say that I am not kind." I can tell you one more thing. In half a year, our three 3-star academies will be recruiting new students in the academy's square. As for those who haven't been selected yet, you should have a chance.

After taking one last look at everyone, he left the arena and found a seat below the arena.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Their minds were set.

Although all of Ji Ze's requests seemed very simple, in reality, 998% of the students had been eliminated. Only a few people truly met the requirements, and they felt that if Ji Ze were to continue making requests, perhaps no one present would be able to enter Qingfeng Academy.

As for the recruitment event for the three great academies that Ji Ze mentioned, those who met the requirements temporarily put it aside. Those who didn't meet the requirements once again lit up with hope.

Seeing that Ji Ze had left the stage, Su Shan stood back up and gently said: "Alright, everyone heard what Senior Ji said just now. What I want to say now is that out of these fifteen spots, seven of them are occupied by the core disciples of our Blue Maple Academy. This has always been a tradition of our Blue Maple Academy, don't ask me why. "

The last sentence of the simple pine tree made most of the people who had met the standard swallow their words forcefully, and they began to recompose their plans in their minds one by one.

"The seven core disciples are: Li Lianfu, Ning Hao, Zhuang Haochen, Xu Qingshuang, Wei Shengping, Han Ya, and Liu Yimin. The remaining eight people will be chosen from you people and will be chosen from the arena battle. Those who do not meet the requirements are invited to step forward, and those who do not meet the requirements are forced to retreat five meters away … "

Xiao Nan didn't want to know what Shanshan said anymore, it didn't have much to do with him anyway. He stopped because Ning Hao refused to leave, but also because he wanted to see if Xu Qingshuang and Han Ya were chosen.

Now that he knew that the two girls had been selected and that the three great academies would recruit new students in half a year, he felt that there was no need to continue staying. Furthermore, Ning Hao had already confirmed his own quota, so he should be able to leave.

"Idiot, why are you still standing there? Can we go now? Don't tell me you suddenly have no way out? " Seeing that Ning Hao was still staring at the stage in the middle of the square, Xiao Nan reminded him.

"You … Who said I had no way out? "You brat, you're about to die, and yet you're still so arrogant. Wait a moment, I'll let you die an ugly death." Ning Hao turned his head, gritting his teeth as he replied.

"Aiyo, since there's a way, then let's quickly leave. Could it be that you want to break the contract? Or are you afraid? Slow, like a woman, really can't stand you. I would like to see how you will make my death unsightly, alas, I am afraid! " Xiao Nan retorted with a mocking expression.

"Humph!" Ning Hao was like a vexed little woman. He coldly snorted, didn't say anything else, and left first.

"Hee hee, your father is the best. He said a few words that caused this kid to be unable to speak." Xiao Nan chuckled and hurriedly followed.
