C87 Recruitment Begins
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the 12th day of the first month, the day of the recruitment ceremony held by the professors of Heavenly Dragon Academy in Heavenly Cloud City.
Early in the morning, Xiao Jian got up from his bed under the supervision of his father, Xiao Yuanshan.
Because today was a big day, the recruitment ceremony of Heavenly Dragon Academy was scheduled for today. After his father left, Xiao Jian leisurely walked on the bluestone road in the family. Looking at the family that had suddenly become much emptier, Xiao Jian helplessly shook his head.
Today, the recruitment team of Heavenly Dragon Academy was about to arrive at Heavenly Cloud City, but they would arrive at around noon. Most of the young disciples in the family had gone to the city gate of Heavenly Cloud City to take a look. Xiao Jian was speechless. They were too proactive. Perhaps the city gate of Heavenly Cloud City was already packed with people.
"A bunch of idiots. They are going to wait in line now. It's not like the recruitment standards of Heavenly Dragon Academy are that whoever queues earlier can pass the exam!"
Xiao Jian shook his head and muttered. He leisurely walked around the pavilion garden in the family. After relaxing for a while, he turned around and walked back to his courtyard.
Every day, after Xiao Jian ate breakfast, he would go out for a stroll to relax his mood. He would return to his own courtyard, where he sat under the iron tree and meditated. This had become a habit that he had developed since his return.
As the recruitment ceremony was set to be in Heavenly Cloud City, all the youths in the cities around Heavenly Cloud City who met the requirements would come. Therefore, the recruitment ceremony might take two to three days to end.
Therefore, Xiao Jian was not in a hurry to go on the first day. Instead, he was forced to go on the second afternoon under the repeated urging of his father, Xiao Yuanshan. In Xiao Jian's opinion, he would wait until the third day. He would only come to participate in the test on the last day. This was Xiao Jian's idea. However, after his father urged him to rush to the recruitment square ahead of time, It was also the inner part of Heavenly Cloud City and the inner part of the city, Tianfeng Square.
Looking at the endless sea of people, Xiao Jian could not help but be dumbfounded. His heart once again surged with thoughts of returning home. He planned to come back tomorrow afternoon, but when he thought of his father's fervent gaze, he could not help but grit his teeth and persevere. After walking to the long line of people, he consciously queued up.
On the huge plaza, waves of noise soared into the sky. Countless young men were desperately squeezing towards the center of the plaza. Although there were City Lord Manor's City Guards maintaining order outside of the crowd, because there were too many people, the City Guards could not do anything about it.
Xiao Jian stared blankly at the mountain-like crowd. After a long while, he let out a sigh and shook his head with a gloomy expression. Judging from the situation, it seemed like he would not be able to pass the test today.
Just as Xiao Jian was still standing in the same spot and waiting in line, a commotion came from behind him. A group of over ten young men and women with gorgeous appearances walked over. Each of them had an extraordinary temperament as they walked towards Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian, who had nothing better to do and was about to go crazy, couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him. It turned out that Xiao Feng and the other young men from the three major families of Heavenly Cloud City had arrived.
Xiao Jian didn't see Xiao Feng when he came. So, he came alone. Xiao Mei, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Chen were among them, but Xiao Yuan, who surprised Xiao Jian, wasn't among them.
As for the young men of the Ye and Wang families, Xiao Jian had some impression of them. When Xiao Jian turned around, he was also discovered by the people behind him.
Everyone did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Feng's face also turned red. He shouted in his heart, "Shame, this is too shameful!"
Xiao Feng subconsciously took a few steps back and looked elsewhere. He looked like he did not know this person. He almost put a piece of paper on his forehead. "I don't know him!"
Wang Kai of the Wang Family had the most lively personality. He rushed forward and pulled Xiao Jian over.
"Brother, you really don't know. Or are you pretending not to know? As a genius disciple of the three big families, you don't have to line up. You can directly enter and participate in the test. Don't tell me you're standing here. You're only lining up to attract the attention of beautiful women, right? " After saying that, he stared at Xiao Jian. She wanted to see the situation from his face or eyes.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Xiao Jian shamelessly made a rare joke with everyone. "I didn't see brother Xiao Feng in my family. I think he might have gone to find you all. So, I can only stand here and wait for you all. " He said it with a serious face. It was even more serious than pearls!
Everyone had doubts about what Xiao Jian said.
Everyone walked to the square together. Xiao Jian followed them and circled the huge square for half a circle. Finally, he stopped at the west side of the square. This place was at the back of the square. The fully armed city guards had surrounded this place with three or four layers, both inside and outside. The weapons that shone with a cold light reflected a glaring light under the sunlight.
Xiao Feng, Wang Kai, and Ye Tian stepped forward and took out their identity tokens from their pockets. They handed them to a soldier who was dressed like an officer and chatted for a while.
Only then did he look at Xiao Jian and the others. He waved his hand to let them go forward. The middle-aged officer's cold and sharp eyes swept across Xiao Jian and the others inch by inch. After a while, he waved his hand and shouted loudly. "Let them in!"
Hearing the middle-aged officer's shout, the wall of people that was as tight as a city wall. With a swoosh, they managed to avoid a passage that only two people could pass through in an orderly manner.
Xiao Feng and the other two took the lead and led the group into the wall of people in an orderly manner. As soon as the group of people entered, they felt a pressure coming from the wall, and even their skin felt a little cold.
The expressionless soldiers around them faintly emitted a bloody smell, causing the women to feel slightly nauseous.
Xiao Jian keenly discovered that other than Xiao Feng, Ye Tian, and Wang Kai, there were only a few people from the three big families whose expressions did not change much. The remaining people also had ugly expressions like those of the girls. Fortunately, the human wall was not very wide, so the people passing through it could not help but feel much more relaxed.
Everyone could not help but sigh, "Are these the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield?"2
Everyone could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. Even though Xiao Jian often fought with Devil Beast, he had killed quite a number of people. When that bloody smell and pressure made Xiao Jian feel slightly uncomfortable.
Ye Tian, Xiao Feng, and Wang Kai were also watching the changes on everyone's faces. They were able to experience these bloody and fiery experiences. Under the pressure of the soldiers who were still standing upright, the young disciples who were still able to maintain their calm faces. Their future achievements would be higher, and their minds would become firmer and firmer. In the future, they would also become a powerful opponent or helper for themselves.
Xiao Jian pretended to be a little short of breath, so that he wouldn't be so eye-catching.
Xiao Feng, Ye Tian, and Wang Kai could not help glancing at the middle-aged officer. However, he was still standing as straight as a javelin. The three of them could not help looking at each other helplessly. With a bitter smile, they led the group inside.
The three of them knew very well. This was a test of the Heavenly Dragon Academy for the disciples of the three families. If they couldn't even withstand the slightest bit of the Qi leaked by these soldiers. . . Then there's no right to have priority. Because they really didn't deserve it.
