Chapter 153: Selection

After receiving the approval of Vice President Fang Zheng, Fang Rong immediately summoned nearly 300 students with innate cultivation and above in the college. Except for nearly 100 people who did not care about it for various reasons, or refused to go to the capital of Daxia to participate in the competition, more than 200 other people were very concerned about this matter, and they were ready to do a big fight.

The Fourth College Competition is related to the glory of the entire college, and even whether a student can take this opportunity to become famous. Therefore, there are still many people in the college who are willing to do their best to this competition.

Seeing that 200 disciples with innate cultivation or above were arranged neatly on the playground specially prepared, Qin Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the students' cultivation level was one percent of the innate realm. This terrifying overall strength is definitely not comparable to any academy of the Nanyue Empire!

Perhaps Zi Luo Academy may achieve certain results in decades through that cruel jungle training method, but now it is impossible to confront the Honor Academy party!

Such a powerful Honor Academy is still at the bottom of the four academies, let alone the other three academies. The huge strength of the Great Xia Empire has thus shown the tip of the iceberg!

Time is tight, and Qin Zhan has no time to ask one by one to confirm whether these students really have rich combat experience. After taking a look at the more than 200 students with excitement and eagerness to try, he asked Fang Rong beside him: "I don't know where the nearest dangerous place to the academy is? Well, the difficulty can probably cause damage to the master of kendo and directly threaten the lives of the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivators."

"Threats the lives of cultivators at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining..." Fang Rong pondered slightly and said, "A little over 300 miles away from the academy, there is a mountain range called Henglian Mountain. The mountain range is more than 100 miles long. There are a large number of monsters living in it, and even some five hundred-year-old monsters. The combat power of monsters is generally stronger than that of humans, so it is enough to pose a fatal threat to cultivators at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining."

"There is no thousand-year-old monster?"

"Since this mountain range is located in the center and belongs to the hinterland of the country, the thousand-year-old monsters in the mountain range have been cleaned up by the sword masters sent by the state, so the strongest monster is only seven or eight hundred years old, which is equivalent to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining in the human world."

"Well, although the threat of the thousand-year-old monster is weaker, it is barely enough. Let these students go to Henglian Mountain, the twenty people who climbed the top of the mountain at the fastest speed, even the contestants in this Fourth Academy competition."

"Henglian Mountain?" Fang Rong frowned slightly: "This...Henglian Mountain is quite dangerous, especially in the top area, there must be more than a monster of more than 500 years old... If there are more than 100 students, I will take care of you. If more than 200 students enter this mountain range together, I am afraid that more than a dozen teachers will be dispatched from other places to protect each other. Wouldn't this delay the teachers' courses..."

"Mobilize the kendo master level mentor to protect each other?" Qin Zhan shook his head directly and chuckled: "I don't plan to escort the kendo master level teachers. Let them go up the mountain by themselves. If more than 200 disciples with innate cultivation or above are united, it is impossible for them to encounter danger in Henglian Mountain, which does not have the existence of a thousand-year-old monster!"

When Fang Rong heard this, her face changed slightly and she said worriedly: "This is not good... After all, our college is only responsible for teaching students. If these family patriarchs and parents send their children to our college, we must be responsible for their safety. If something goes wrong..."

"You can explain to them first, if you want to quit, I won't stop you."

"Master Qin, with your legendary swordsman's cultivation level, if you are condescending, it should not be difficult to keep the safety of 200 students."

"No, I won't take action either. If they don't cooperate well, maybe 200 people may die in, and at least 20 people will die, or even thirty, forty, fifty, or even more people. If they really agree, they should be mentally prepared."

"More than twenty people died..." Fang Rong's pretty face immediately turned pale... The death of twenty students is an extremely serious loss for the top four academies in the country, such as Honor Academy. If so many students died, it would be an unprecedented blow to the reputation of the academy... The current reputation of Honor Academy in the empire has been questioned, and if such major accidents occur again... the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Master Qin, you...can't be kidding..."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"This... this, will the students agree to go?" Fang Rong felt entangled again. If it weren't for the young man in front of her who was a legendary swordsman on the fourth level of the God Transformation, it was more important to whether their academy could achieve results in the Fourth Academy Competition this time, I'm afraid she would have rejected his proposal without thinking, but now...

"Ha, tutor Fang, I know what you are thinking, but don't rush to deny my decision first. You might as well announce it and see how the students react. If you agree, stay and let them leave directly if you don't agree."

Fang Rong glanced at the students who were full of expectations, and hesitated for a moment. She could only tell the original words of Qin Zhan to these more than 200 students, and even told the news that there might be more than one-tenth of the mortality rate.

When they heard such a terrible chance of death, the students who were already looking forward to it were suddenly burst into flames, and all kinds of discussions were heard. The expressions that were eager to try immediately became terrified. The power of monsters over five hundred years had been deeply imprinted in their minds as early as in the books. In their opinion, if they did not have the cultivation level of the sword master level, they would fight with monsters over five hundred years, which would be the same as sending death.

Under this idea, within a moment, several students chose to quit!

At the beginning, these people immediately caused a chain reaction among the students. A large number of students rushed out of the lobby, as if there were some beasts chasing behind them, fearing that they would retreat slowly, so they were forcibly stayed by the mentors.

In less than five minutes, there were only a dozen people left in the lobby of more than 200 people... Moreover, more than a dozen of them still showed hesitation in the faces of these forty people, obviously still indecisive.

Qin Zhan glanced at the dozen hesitant students and said directly: "You guys leave first, I'm not exaggerating. If you are not careful, you are in danger of death."

More than a dozen people were lucky, but they probably only scared themselves. Now, after hearing what he said, they hurriedly followed the people who left. For a moment, there were only twenty-eight students left in the lobby. Among these twenty-eight students, twenty of them were on the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the ninth level of Qi Refining was Wang Chong, who had previously met Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan looked at Qinghong and the others who had met outside Mufeng City with amusement and said, "Don't you quit? The five hundred-year-old monster is not an easy thing. If you encounter it, even if you five of you come together, you will definitely be alive."

"Don't underestimate us. It's just dangerous and can't scare us."

Qin Zhan shook his head. The reason why these students stayed here was mostly anger. Wang Chong, who was more stable, seemed to have taken this opportunity to hone his meaning.

"Wang Chong stays, you four will quit."

"Why, do you look down on people?"

"You can also join, kill a five hundred-year-old monster."

"You...you are obviously a forceful person. Not one of us has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. How could we beat monsters for five hundred years?"

"If you can't do it yourself, it doesn't mean others can't do it. OK, step down!"

Although Qinghong and others were a little unwilling to accept it, they would not dare to go to fight the five hundred-year-old monsters no matter what. Compared to participating in the Fourth Courtyard Competition, their own lives were more important, so they had to angrily withdraw from the lobby.

"There are twenty-four people." Qin Zhan glanced at the remaining twenty-four students. All of them had a steady and thick aura, especially three of them. Although they were only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the murderous intent that appeared from time to time in their eyebrows clearly meant that their hands had been stained with the blood of many powerful people of the same level. This kind of cultivator attracted Qin Zhan more than Wang Chong, who had the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation.

"The test you are going to conduct next will be related to your life and death. Now I will give you another last chance to withdraw!" Qin Zhan said, staring at the twenty-four people carefully. However, the reactions of these twenty-four people made him very satisfied. He did not see any trace of retreat in their eyes.

"Very good. Since you have decided to participate in this election, I will give you an hour to prepare. In an hour, gather at the gate of the college and head to Henglian Mountain." Qin Zhan said, and turned around and left.

Seeing that Qin Zhan seemed to be planning to take twenty-four students to travel to Henglian Mountain and other dangerous places, Fang Rong had no choice but to inform her father Fang Zhengyuan about this. However, Fang Zhengyuan had no opinion on this and handed over the matter to Qin Zhan for full handling.

Regarding the various problems caused by the gentle style of the academy, Fang Zhengyuan, the legendary swordsman of the fourth level of the God Transformation, has always been a headache for him! But due to his identity, if he is really cruel to rectify it, if something goes wrong, it will definitely cause huge public opinion. If it is handed over to others, he may not be able to take it seriously.

Now that Qin Zhan plans to train these twenty-four people, he has no objection, and by the way he wants to take this opportunity to see the effect of this method in the end in the academy.

If the students' fighting spirit is stimulated, they should be promoted. If it causes panic in the college, it will be abolished.

Soon, the test of Henglian Mountain came out. The twenty-four students who went to Henglian Mountain were eliminated, and only fifteen of them were killed successfully on the way to the top of the mountain...
