Chapter 47 Welcome to Gouchen College
Ji Qianming crossed the vortex and felt a dizzy turn. He seemed to hear someone calling him, and then he suddenly landed on the hard ground.
"Oh, it hurts so much." Ji Qianming touched his butt, his mouth twitched slightly, and he was stunned when he opened his eyes.
The first time he saw such a close sky, he looked up and saw the blue sky like a huge cover covering his head. There was not even a cloud in the sky, only pure blue.
He slowly stood up and saw a blue-gray stone slab under him, and behind him was a quaint black door. The door was hollow and only had a door frame, which looked like the outline of the Thunder Door that had just been opened with a spirit key, but it was several times larger.
"Is this where I came from?" Ji Qianming suspiciously looked into the center of the stone gate, and there was nothing.
He walked to the edge of the slab and looked down, gasping for a breath.
What's here is not close to the sky, but in the sky!
I saw white clouds floating leisurely below, and below is a prosperous human city. You can vaguely see dense buildings, like sand and gravel.
"Gou Chen Academy is floating in the air?" Ji Qianming couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's right." A familiar male voice came from behind Ji Qianming, which scared Ji Qianming almost fell down.
Looking back, I saw a young man wearing a Western vest, a black tie and a pair of black glasses standing and smiling at him.
"You are... Senior Qingya!" Ji Qianming remembered who this young man was. At that time, when Chengyuan Heavy Industry was in danger, the other party came to save him.
"Senior Ji Qianming." Qingya turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and spoke with a smile.
"Welcome to Gouchen Academy."
Ji Qianming followed Qingya along the long hanging stone road, and from time to time he leaned his head down, trembling.
"Senior Qingya, are the buildings at Gouchen Academy so exciting? What if someone is afraid of heights?"
Qingya explained with a smile: "Only this place is hollowed out, and other buildings are on a huge hanging mountain. You can't see such an exciting scene. The place you just came out is the gate connecting Gou Chen and the world, called the 'Arc of Triomphe'."
"Connect Gou Chen and the world? Isn't Gou Chen in the world?" Ji Qianming asked in confusion.
"Yes, the place where Gouchen Academy is located is a small world floating above Shanghai, and does not exist in the space of the earth. Therefore, from the outside world, it is empty."
"Go to... Shanghai? Are you saying that the bustling city below is the Magic City? This is a small world outside the earth?" Within three minutes of arriving at Gou Chen, Ji Qianming's worldview successfully collapsed.
"No," Qingya nodded, "The reason why this place is called Arc de Triomphe is because usually those who walk out of this door to go on missions are life-threatening, so the word "Triumph" is used to express their expectations. However, on September 1st every two years, it will be used to introduce new students, so the principal sent me to pick me up."
"Senior, don't you have to stay there? What if someone comes again one after another?"
"Haha, there are others waiting there to attract new students. After all, this is a rewarding task. Besides, you are too overestimating the number of new students in Gou Chen." Qingya shook his head with a wry smile.
The two of them slowly moved along the hollow stone slabs. Ji Qianming could already see the huge floating mountain in front of them. There were various buildings on the peaks, including towering glass buildings, Japanese-style temples, and round trial fields...
About three minutes later, the two finally stepped onto the suspended mountain peak. The first thing that caught their eyes was a wide square. In the center of the square, a huge statue of Qilin stood, with a powerful aura and snow-white body. A pair of bright eyes staring at the distance, like a patron saint.
"This is Gou Chen." Qingya pointed to the statue in the center of the square and explained, "Gou Chen and Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise and Vine Snake became six god beasts. It is rumored that Gou Chen was bloody and killed, but in fact he is good at nature, and all the people killed are guilty. It is recorded in the ancient book "Yi Mao" that Gou Chen's image, real name Qilin, is in the central government's official day of the Wu Dynasty, and is a benevolent beast, which is governed by earth virtue."
"Gou Chen guards the Central Earth and kills for the things they protect. This is the original intention of our Gou Chen Academy."
"This is Gou Chen..." Ji Qianming carefully looked at the domineering giant beast in front of him, and his mind moved slightly, "Killing for the sake of guard is indeed a benevolent beast."
The two of them walked around the statue and continued to walk in. Ji Qianming saw a few dark-skinned foreigners with sharp eyes. He couldn't help but speak in confusion: "There are still international students in Gouchen Academy?"
"Those are not international students." Qingya smiled, "They are Gou Chen's students. There are only two schools on the entire earth that aim to fight against the gods. The enrollment scope of this Gou Chen Academy is the entire hemisphere. It can be said to be a joint school. It does not belong to China, but half of them are Chinese."
The students of Gouchen Academy come from the entire hemisphere? Ji Qianming was stunned. He didn't expect that he had also attended an international school?
"But why can't I see a few people along the way?"
"There are many reasons for this. First of all, I just mentioned that Gou Chen has very few new students."
Ji Qianming made a rough calculation and said, "For the entire Asian region, it will be recruited every two years. How come there will be no less than 3,000 people, right?"
"Three thousand?" Qingya was almost choked and glanced at him, "Guess how many freshmen were there in the previous class? Forget it, you can't guess, there are only 17 freshmen in the previous class."
"17?!" Ji Qianming widened his eyes and spoke in disbelief. How could it be that little bit?
"First of all, Gouchen Academy only recruits young people with leaves." Qingya stretched out a finger, "You should know that there are only 361 types of abilities recorded in the world, most of which are still sleeping. Among the remaining abilities of abilities, throw away those who are older, throw away those who join the evil organization like Shangxie, and throw away those who are afraid of death and are unwilling to be enemies with the divine realm, how many can they be left?"
Ji Qianming was speechless. It was good that Gou Chen had so many freshmen every two years.
Qingya stretched out his second finger: "Secondly, the mortality rate of Gou Chen students is extremely high, but someone will talk about these things at the opening ceremony of the freshmen, so I won't go into details."
