Chapter 45 Freshman Qualifying Tournament

Many examinees gathered in the central square, which was more than a thousand meters square. More than 5,000 examinees gathered here and occupied only one place. And this square is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Sword-asking Academy. It can be seen how huge the entire Sword-asking Academy is.

"It is worthy of being one of the three major forces in the empire and the leader of the four major academies." Many disciples sighed in their hearts, with excitement on their faces. In the future, they will practice here and strive for their goals in their hearts.

At this time, a voice sounded, and it was naturally Dugu Hong.

Dugu Hong is the dean of the external school. The enrollment of Sword-asking Academy is held once every three years. It is a very important matter, so the whole process is almost handled by him personally.

However, Lin Xiao has no good feelings for Dugu Hong, and even has a little disgust.

There is no doubt that the reason why Dugu Fei targeted him was definitely instructed by Dugu Hong, and he could feel that Dugu Hong had murderous intentions towards him.

As for why the Dugu family targeted him, Lin Xiao didn't know for the time being, but his intuition told him that it might have something to do with the Nangong family.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary exam. You are now considered disciples of the Sword-Asking Academy, but you are only registered disciples."

"Registered disciples?" Hearing this, many disciples were confused. Someone couldn't help asking, "Dean, what does this mean?"

Dugu Hong smiled and said, "So-called registered disciples are nominally disciples of the Sword-Asking Academy, but they need to accumulate 10,000 contribution points within a year to become disciples. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the academy after a year."

After listening to Dugu Hong's explanation, there were sighs in the square. They didn't expect that after a round of fiercely competitive preliminary exams, they were not really disciples yet, and they still needed a year of hard work to become disciples.

"However, as long as you break into the top 1,000 in the next qualifying match, you can directly become a disciple without accumulating contribution points."

Hearing this, many disciples' eyes lit up.

"Moreover, the top 500 disciples will receive rewards. Let me first give you a rough idea of ​​the rewards for the top three."

"The first place winner will receive 500 lower-grade spirit stones, plus three spirit pills, and 3,000 sect contribution points."

"The second place winner will receive 300 lower-grade spirit stones, one spirit pill, and 2,500 sect contribution points."

"The third place winner will receive 200 lower-grade spirit stones and 2,000 sect contribution points."

"The rest of the rewards are similar. In short, the higher the ranking, the richer the reward. It depends on your ability to get what reward you can get."

Hearing this, many disciples' eyes lit up, and a hint of heat flashed across them.

As long as you can enter the top 1,000, you can directly become an inner disciple, without having to endure a year of hardship to become a regular disciple. There are rewards for entering the top 500. Judging from the rewards for the top three, the rewards for the rest will definitely not be bad.

When Lin Xiao heard this reward, his eyes were wide open. Spirit stones, the first place winner will get 500 spirit stones! The activation of the Soul Gathering Array consumes a lot of Spirit Stones, and one Spirit Stone is 10,000 gold coins. It can be seen that the Sword-Wen Academy has really spent a lot of money to motivate new disciples.

As long as he can get enough Spirit Stones, Lin Xiao can use the Soul Gathering Array to practice many times, and the speed of practice will definitely increase linearly.

For this reason, Lin Xiao needs to compete for the top ranking as much as possible. The higher he goes, the more Spirit Stones he can get.

If he can get the first place... Lin Xiao calculated that twenty-five times, he can use the Soul Gathering Array twenty-five times, plus his current five times, a total of thirty times, which is definitely enough to help him rush to the Soul Transformation Realm, or even reach the second level of the Soul Transformation Realm.

As for the Soul Transformation Pill, Lin Xiao is not very interested, because the instructor of the Blue Wind Academy gave him a few.

Contribution points can be exchanged for pills and exercises in the sect, so the more the better.

Of course, it is not only Lin Xiao who has this idea. More than 5,000 disciples all want to compete for the top position and get better rewards.

Those who passed the preliminary test and stayed behind all had a solid foundation. The weakest of them were all above the seventh level of the Gathering Spirit Realm. There were even masters of the ninth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm. Some of them were able to challenge the higher level like Lin Xiao.

Among these five thousand people, only one thousand could directly become disciples, and among the thousand, only five hundred could get rewards. It is conceivable how fierce the competition in this qualifying match would be.

"

"The location of the qualifying match is in the Monster Forest, a hundred miles away. You must have heard of it."

Hearing this, many disciples' faces changed slightly. The Monster Forest is full of ferocious monsters all year round, which is extremely dangerous. Among them, only a few people have been there for trials.

"The judging criteria for this qualifying match are points, and the way to obtain points is the command flag."

As he said this, Dugu Hong took out five command flags, which were five colors: yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.

"The yellow command flag represents one point, the green represents three points, the blue represents five points, the blue represents seven points, and the purple represents ten points. "

"These flags have been placed in the Forest of Demonic Aura by the Academy in advance. As long as you can get the flag, you can get points. The higher the score, the deeper it is in the Forest of Demonic Aura. How many flags you can get depends on your ability and courage. "

"In advance, there are 5,000 yellow flags, 3,000 green flags, 1,000 cyan flags, 800 blue flags, and 300 purple flags. A total of 11,000 flags. "

"In addition, there is a red flag, representing 500 points. As for where it is, it is up to you to find it."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. It seems that if you want to get higher points, it is not only necessary to have more flags, but the key is that the points represented by the flags should be higher. However, flags with higher points are placed in more dangerous places. In this way, the comprehensive strength of the disciples will be tested.

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone go and rest first. Tomorrow, the qualifying competition will begin!"
