Chapter 624 The Curtain Is About to Open
Chapter 629 The curtain is about to open
As June approaches, an invisible sense of urgency suddenly envelopes the entire Xingluo Royal Academy.
The originally empty study room suddenly becomes very popular, and the lights in the dormitory are on until late.
More and more students are staring at the dry eyes, with falling hair, and increasingly irritable and neurotic personalities, adding several violent incidents to the originally quiet and peaceful college life.
Even the Shrek exchange students who are at the end of the news can feel the tense atmosphere in the air.
Every June 15th is the most critical graduation exam for seventh-year students.
Only soul masters who pass the written exam are eligible to take the practical exam. Only by passing two exams can they obtain the level certificate issued by the Spirit Hall, otherwise they can only get the graduation certificate issued by the academy.
If there is only a graduation certificate but no level certificate, then you are not even qualified to apply for a job in the subordinate institutions or cooperative sects of the Spirit Hall.
This puts a lot of pressure on the graduating students.
Mihael watched his new friend lose weight while studying so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. Like many of his classmates, he couldn't help wondering, "Is this exam really implemented in every college? Why haven't I seen it in Shrek?"
His friend was shocked, as if his worldview had been greatly impacted: "There's not even a level exam, so how do you find a job?!"
Mihael found Qin Ming with the same doubts.
Qin Ming poured Mihael a glass of warm water, "Although you are only in the sixth grade and there is still a year before graduation, it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance."
"First of all, the national conditions of the Xingluo Empire are different from those of the Tiandou Empire. The central power of Xingluo is more concentrated and stronger, and the power of the sects and the Wuhun Hall is relatively weak, so most soul masters prefer to be officials, but there are only a few good positions each year, so the requirements for graduates are very high."
"And Tiandou's thinking is more open. If Xingluo is an official-oriented thinking, then Tiandou is a business-oriented thinking. Making money is the most important thing. Jobs are more popular with graduates. "
"Why did Shrek never take the Spirit Hall registration exam? This has to do with some of our grievances with the Spirit Hall, and the teaching reforms implemented by Teacher Wang in the past two years have raised the theoretical scores by several levels, so the Spirit Hall's standards are no longer applicable."
After the last elite competition preliminaries, the platinum bishop Sarath of the Spirit Hall of Tiandou City regarded their Shrek Academy as a thorn in the eye. Since then, all the business of the Spirit Hall is no longer open to Shrek teachers and students.
However, it did not cause much impact. Behind Shrek stood the Tiandou Royal Family and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, and it was on good terms with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Solving a small employment problem can only be said to be a trivial matter. Shrek graduates don't have to worry about unemployment after graduation.
Although the Spirit Hall of Tiandou City was purged and rectified by the Inquisition, and a new group of senior executives were replaced, perhaps because Shrek's reputation was too prominent and it was a staunch royalist, they just maintained a non-interference relationship.
Due to various factors, the Spirit Hall's rating exam was naturally out of reach for Shrek Academy.
Qin Ming said earnestly: "If you don't want to enter the palace, and don't want to be controlled by the sect, the dean also has connections with many large mercenary groups. In short, the students who graduate from Shrek every year in recent years are still quite popular, and there is no worry about not having a good job."
This is the fame and fortune brought by winning the championship of this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, which is enough for Shrek to enjoy 20 years of dividends.
The next elite competition is estimated to be difficult. With the tough attitude of the Spirit Hall in recent years to fight for every inch of land, it is impossible to give the championship to the academies of the two empires.
Time passed so quickly that May of this year seemed to have wings, and it passed almost unnoticed.
The routine days continued until early June.
At noon, Wang Xiaofeng had just finished his exercise. While taking a bath in the bathtub, he took out a large bag of black nutrient paste from the gourd and squeezed it into his mouth. The security guard knocked on the door of the laboratory.
"Pass on His Highness's oral order: 'A family has come to visit, come quickly.'"
Wang Xiaofeng was carelessly lying in the bathtub blowing bubbles, and suddenly stood up, startling the guards.
After putting on his clothes, Wang Xiaofeng tried to keep his heart calm. After being examined by the patrolling guards, he passed through the palace secret door three times in a row and came to the prince's study.
He saw Dai Mubai with a frown on his face, and Zhu Zhuqing who was a little worried about his condition.
Dai Mubai handed over a note, "Since the news that Mr. Zhou's granddaughter was getting married, there have been many guests, but only eight families were allowed in. This is the list. There are two families that are as powerful as the lower four clans. Although the other families are not well-known, they have a deep foundation and are all old-fashioned families." Wang Xiaofeng took the note and took a look, "So, is there any news about her?" "It's still the same as before." Dai Mubai said distressedly: "It's really strange. The last news can be traced back to the period when the beast tide ended. It feels like the past two years have disappeared from the world." Zhu Zhuqing said her thoughts, "Is it possible that she is under house arrest?" Dai Mubai held his chin with one hand, "It's not impossible." Wang Xiaofeng lowered his eyes and said: "No matter what, people will be there on the wedding day, and all the truth will come out at that time. We just need to wait and see."
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, but it was hard to tell what Wang Xiaofeng was thinking from their expressions.
However, they unanimously decided to bring more people on the wedding day and disperse the surrounding residents in advance.
I hope there won't be too much noise on that day, otherwise the title and soul fighters will gather together, and it will be difficult to suppress this matter.
"Holy Dragon Sect, betrothal gifts: 100,000 gold soul coins, 500 kilograms of five animals, 100 kilograms of high-quality tea, 300 pieces of colored silk, and 10 sets of fine porcelain"
"Liaoxing Pang Clan, betrothal gifts: 80,000 gold soul coins, 10 pieces of precious jewelry, and 5 plants of 100-year-old star grass"
Looking at the thick list of betrothal gifts in front of them, the elders who usually had serious expressions and did not say anything were all laughing.
Someone suddenly said casually, "Hasn't the girl been notified about this matter yet?"
The hot atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
After a long time, the fourth elder said, "Let's wait until she comes back to notify her, otherwise what if she refuses to cooperate."
"She can't help but cooperate. The more we make a big show, the more she will worry about."
"We have to send invitations to all the well-known families in Xingluo. If that girl insists on messing up the wedding, she will be laughed at by the world. She will be the first person in Xingluo's history to fall out with her family at her wedding and forget her ancestors. She will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and there will be no place for her in such a big Xingluo."
"I believe that after weighing the pros and cons, no matter how reluctant she is, she will cooperate with us to finish this play."
"What she will do after the wedding banquet is not our concern. After all, a daughter who is married is like water spilled out. If the person who marries can't even deal with a mere soul king, then they can only blame themselves for their incompetence."
The second elder laughed sinisterly.
After hearing this, the five elders couldn't help but sigh that the old ones are still the best. They gave a thumbs up and said with great admiration: "It's really good."
"Don't be picky. The rest are all the same. Let's go with this one. It offers the most generous betrothal gifts."
The second elder took out a gold-stamped card and threw it in the middle of the table. It said: Holy Dragon Sect.
