Chapter 236 The First Round of Knockout
The first day of the National Academy Competition begins.

But at that time, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the examination building in the imperial city.

The test building is the largest tall building built temporarily on the side of the imperial city altar in the past year.

The test building is divided into three areas - the test area for spiritual power cultivation, the test area for spirit beast level, and the puppet making area.

Due to the large number of participating students, there are tens of thousands of people, even if there are more than a hundred staff in front of the test building just to maintain order, their voices can't suppress the noisy and chaotic scene in front of the test building for a while. scene.

It took nearly two hours for the staff in front of the test building to completely stabilize the situation. By the time Shangguantang and his party, who had the foresight but were late, came to the test building, the front of the test building had already changed into Well-ordered queue too.

However, Shangguantang looked at the black and endless team in front of him, and sighed with some annoyance: "It's still too early!"

Elder Qin smiled and said, "I still remember that when I participated in the National Academy Competition in Jialan Empire ten years ago, there was such a long queue."

"That's right, there was such a long queue for four or five hours at the time, and it was the turn of the exam from dawn to dark." Shangguantang shook his head helplessly when he recalled it.

Hao Jiuyan, the head of the Beast Control Sect who had never followed to the major empires to participate in the academy competition before, stared at him immediately, "I have to wait in line for such a long time to take the test, why don't I go to a nearby wine...teahouse for two drinks?" A cup of tea, come here when there are fewer people!"

Hao Jiuyan, who almost slipped his tongue, was glanced at by Shangguantang and Qin Lao, and quickly turned his eyes to the sky and fell silent.

Shangguan Tang coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Is it a competition, or there should be a competition appearance, after all, it's not good to be lazy, but you little fellows can also relax, I and your two sect masters I will stand in this queue with you!"

"The dean is mighty! Old Qin is mighty! Master Haomen is mighty!"

Zhang Xi waved his fists and shouted thoughtlessly, but Fu Ling gave him a very disgusted look.

Qin Shi curled her lips, and said in a low voice to Chi Yunzhi: "Master Haomen just said the word wine, I suspect that we didn't find them in the nearby teahouse when we came out of the business yesterday, because they didn't go to the teahouse at all. It's a restaurant!"

Chi Yunzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard the words. She held a conservative view because she didn't know the truth, "The competition is coming soon. According to the usual style of the dean of the Shangguan, Mr. Qin and the master of the Hao family, they should not go to the restaurant to drink at this time Bar?"

Sheng Zifu on the side suddenly said: "Last night when I went downstairs, I happened to bump into President Shangguan and they returned to the inn. Although they didn't smell of alcohol at that time, their eyes were blurred, the same as when they were drinking in the past. Zhi, presumably the spirit power covered up the alcohol smell around him."

Chi Yunzhi nodded suddenly. She more or less believed what Sheng Zifu said. After all, Sheng Zifu rarely spoke unless he talked about academic topics, and what he said was true Based on the basis, he probably wouldn't bother to say if he didn't know the truth or falsehood.

"The eyes are blurred, which means that you have drunk a lot!" Qin Shi said angrily.

Yan Siya, who was standing in front of them, seemed to have heard their conversation, turned around and quickly joined their conversation.

"No wonder the dean and the others didn't show up this morning, and they said there's no rush to go. I can see that they drank too much last night and couldn't get up!" Yan Siya had such an expression on his face.

"If that's the case, it would be too unkind for the dean not to play with us!!" Zhang Xi put his head in at some point, and was slapped by Fu Ling, "Hush your voice!"

The six people hurriedly looked forward to Shangguantang, Mr. Qin and Master Hao.

The three of Shangguantang looked up at the sky.

The six of Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Shangguantang and the others were not paying attention to them, and did not hear what they said.

……

The teams in the spiritual strength test area and the spirit beast level test area are moving slowly.

At a certain moment, Elder Qin suddenly laughed and said, "The puppet making area is open, Dean, Master Hao, I will take Qin girl and Chi girl there first."

Elder Qin took Chi Yunzhi and Qin Shishi away with a smile, and the last look before leaving was obviously a bit smug, as if to say, "I'll go first, and you continue to wait slowly." Bar".

Shangguan Tang glanced resentfully at the gate of the puppet making area in front of the high-rise building in the distance opened, and then the line of no more than two to 300 people in front of the puppet making area suddenly disappeared into the gate like dumplings.

Shangguantang took another look at the still dark team in front of him, and sighed: "It's good that there are fewer puppeteers. Every time there are college competitions in various countries, I ask Mr. Qin to take a break first..."

The test in the puppet making area is different from the tests in the other two areas after all. After all, it takes a long time to make a puppet, and the number of students of the puppet maker is relatively small, so once the puppet making room in the building After the preparations and arrangements are completed, all the puppet maker students can directly enter the room and start making puppets.

However, due to the large number of people in the spiritual power cultivation base test area and the spirit beast level test area, and the limited test equipment, only groups of people can enter the test area. Fortunately, the two tests do not take much time. It takes too long.

"At this speed, it may take another hour or two for me to take Zhang Xi and Fu Ling in for the test." Hao Jiuyan looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and frowned.

Hearing this, Shangguantang took a look at Hao Jiuyan's line that was no more than a hundred feet long, and there were only two lines of no more than a hundred feet in front of the spirit beast level test area. : What are two queues of more than one hundred feet long? The old man led two students, Sheng Zifu and Yan Siya, behind six queues of more than one hundred feet long, and they are still as stable as Mount Tai!

Puppet making area.

Chi Yunzhi and Qin Shi entered the production room one by one after receiving the sign of the puppet production room distributed by the staff.

The puppet making area is on the top floor of the test building.

It is said to be the top floor, but one floor is enough to be as high as a three-story building, and it does have three floors.

The puppet making rooms on each floor are arranged in a circle, and there are about a hundred of them.

The puppet making room is silent, and the special material in the production room isolates all sounds from the outside, so as to ensure that the puppet maker can complete the puppet production without interference.

But the puppet making room is transparent, that is to say, every move of the puppet maker in the making room will be seen clearly by people outside.

This is also to allow the judges and elders to more clearly observe whether each puppet maker has cheated by using pills or not when making puppets.
