This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 643 Selection
Two months later, Jizhou Prefecture.

As midsummer approached, the weather in Jizhou Prefecture became a little hotter.

The weather is dry, and the military drill schedule of Jizhou Prefecture has also changed from the original two-day drill to the current three-day drill, which reduces the frequency of drills and focuses more on patrolling and public security.

In the past two months, as the "Northern Martial Arts Academy" established by the general is about to start enrolling students, young talents from all over the world gather in Jizhou Prefecture.

On this day, in the General's Mansion, after finishing his daily practice, Cao Su received the heads of the two sects who came to report the enrollment progress of Beiwu Academy.

Mu Xiuyuan and Wan Buping walked into Cao Su's courtyard skillfully.

After several contacts with Cao Su, he was not as restrained as he was at the beginning.

After the two saluted, Mu Xiuyuan opened his mouth to report on his work: "General, according to the previous announcement, the day after tomorrow will be the entrance examination for Beiwu Academy."

"Registration has ended. According to the results of the first round of screening, a total of 310 three outstanding prospective students entered the final recruitment process. Several of them have broken through to the mid-level strength realm. the ones."

Wan Buping and Mu Xiuyuan were in charge of the recruitment work of the Beiwu Academy. Cao Su dragged the two sects into the pond, not just squeezing their martial arts resources and wealth, but also letting them participate in it.

For example, like Mu Xiuyuan and Wan Buping, under Cao Su's strong request, each took the title of a vice principal.

The words of the principal were also created by Cao Su, which are slightly different from the original positions and functions of "jiujiu", "siye" or "tangcheng".

It was difficult for the two to refuse, so they had no choice but to agree, and became the second of the first batch of vice-principals of Beiwu Academy.

Cao Su is generally satisfied with the two men's hard-working attitude over the past few months.

Mu Xiuyuan felt a little bit of pity: "I didn't expect that this enrollment would cause such a big response. Many young casual cultivators in the world came to test the water. Of course, some of them were unable to get a place in their own sect. students."

Cao Su had only set a quota of [-] for the first round of enrollment, which was really too small.

The two also underestimated the enthusiasm of the Jianghu, and did not expect such a sensation to be caused.

It seems that it was the right choice to cooperate with Cao Su at the beginning, otherwise, if we don't cooperate, how can sects like Scarlet Cloud Sect and Dingtian Palace get special recruitment places at this moment?
Wan Buping smiled and said, "Is the general planning to recruit once a year?"

Wan Buping's implication is that he wants to know whether Cao Su has plans to recruit additional students.

Since both of them have already become the vice principals of Beiwu Academy, and they are respectively in charge of enrollment, logistics, management and other work, it is reasonable to ask Cao Su more.

Cao Su shook his head: "This year there will definitely be no recruitment. After the name of the Beiwu Academy is announced, the students who graduated from the academy will be needed to promote the academy. Isn't this much better than ourselves?"

Both Mu Xiuyuan and Wan Buping nodded, because what Cao Su said made sense.

The two just felt a little regretful that only 20 of these young heroes in the rivers and lakes could enter the school in the end.

There are more wolves but less meat, the places are limited, and the competition is fierce.

Cao Su did not explain to them what hunger marketing is. If everyone can easily enter his Beiwu Academy, then this Beiwu Academy will be a little less noble, and the next time you come to sign up, it may not be so popular.

Therefore, there must be someone who fails, and it should be a genius who loses the election. Only when a genius loses the election will it cause a greater topic, and it will make others feel the preciousness of the Beiwu Academy, and let the selected people understand that it is hard to come by.

"Everything has been prepared, and the Martial Arts Field has also been cleaned up and checked by the government army in advance."

Since it is a selection test, and it is a military test, the final presentation must be in the form of a competition. This is also the plan that Cao Su made before.

Cao Su turned this admissions examination into a martial arts performance that lasted for many days. The martial arts field was set up in a barracks in the city. In addition, he also carried out some special renovations in the past few months, turning it into a martial arts competition. A small viewing arena that can accommodate thousands of spectators.

"Are the tickets ready?"

For this selection exam, Cao Su is equivalent to organizing an event, and it is not in the form of free viewing, but for the first time, paid viewing is used, which is commonly known as "fee".

For the entire Qianyuan Empire, this is an absolutely epoch-making innovation.

However, the entertainment life of the people is very scarce. Cao Su hoped that through holding such competitions, the wind of martial arts will be further raised, and more people will be guided to practice martial arts.

Mu Xiuyuan and Wan Buping were shocked by Cao Su's operation, and even admired it after understanding the deep meaning.

Wan Buping is the specific person in charge of this matter, but when it comes to the tickets, he also showed a bit of embarrassment and a wry smile: "Although everything is prepared, you don't know about it, General, and many people now know that Wan is here. In charge of this matter, many people wanted to enter the martial arts arena to watch the selection exam, and they all asked me to leave some tickets for them, and I repeatedly refused, but I became a villain."

Cao Su laughed: "From today onwards, you can arrange ticket sales, but the ticket seller must be registered, and the name, address and other information must be filled in completely, and each person can only buy two tickets."

Although Wan Buping didn't understand what Cao Su meant, he still firmly remembered Cao Su's request.

What Cao Su said may not be correct, but he must know more than him. He is completely confused about what he is doing now, so he can only obey Cao Su's orders and follow his requirements.

After the two discussed with Cao Su about various matters concerning the admissions selection examination, they said goodbye and left the house.

Not long after, Zhang Ke, a lieutenant general, came to the general's mansion and asked to see Cao Su.

Cao Su changed places and met Zhang Ke in the study.

Zhang Ke knelt on one knee, his face covered with dust.

"General, there seems to be a movement of bandits on the south bank these days."

Zhang Ke came to broadcast the news of Yuzhou.

There are several dividing lines between Yuzhou and Jizhou. One is the Luoshui River that traverses from east to west. This Luoshui River is also an important waterway leading to the capital of God. If there is a strong enough navy, you can go all the way up to the capital of God. .

The second is the land route, with Yangping Pass and Mengcang Mountain as the front line, but in fact it also needs to cross the Luoshui River, but according to the original geographical division, Yuzhou still has some enclaves in Jizhou.

"Has the Rongzheng old thief finally taken it back?"

Cao Su sneered again and again, he occupied four prefectures in Luoshuibei, two of the four prefectures were prosperous places with a large population, and Jizhou was also called Zhongzhou in the past.

The longer Cao Su occupies the four prefectures, the Rongzheng in Shendu will probably become more restless.

It is normal to have abnormal movements, and Cao Su will find it strange if he does not move for a long time.

"General, since I was stationed at Baima Ferry, there have been fewer ships coming and going, but in the past few days, there have been more ships coming and going. There is news from the secret work on the south bank that the two additional armies sent by the capital of God have arrived at the south bank. , the current strength of the South Bank may have exceeded 20."

20 troops?
Cao Su shook his head: "There are definitely not so many of them. It's just some means of deceiving people. The whole god has not yet recovered. Where can we get the money and food to support this 20 army? The government should have already ordered me to fight, and rushing to a decisive battle with me is the best way to solve the shortage of money and food."

To put it bluntly, there are fewer people, so there is no need to send money and food.

Now there are only some changes in Nan'an, and there is no sign of making a move at all.

Therefore, Cao Su guessed that although the south bank was prepared, the number of troops would never exceed [-], just as Cao Su only sent a few partial divisions to station along the Luoshui River. Cao Su stationed [-] elite soldiers in the battleground to ensure that he could block the impact of any large army in the first few days.

"Don't relax your vigilance, and continue to keep an eye on the wind and grass on the south bank. If you have any signs, report to me in time."

Cao Su put Zhang Ke at the ferry because he took a fancy to his experience and intelligence organization ability, which can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them.

Zhang Keying left the study, and then Cao Su sat alone in the study for a while.

Right now, my cultivation has entered a bottleneck period, and many essences have been exhausted.

The essence of strength is the key to continuous breakthrough and improvement of strength.

The conditions for obtaining the Essence of Strength Realm are also relatively harsh. If it is in a relatively stable and peaceful stage, it will be even more difficult to obtain the Essence. All you can rely on is to guide others to complete continuous breakthroughs.

So Cao Su was happier than others when they broke through.

"There is still a distance to the Profound Realm, but people from Tongtian City may come to me at any time. The cultivation in the past few years has basically focused on the cultivation of supernatural powers, plus a few good martial arts."

Although he has not yet reached the Profound Realm, compared to a few years ago, his own strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this time, all the essences on his panel have been used up, and there is only one "King Kong Essence" left.

This vajra essence is the essence that Cao Su obtained when Guangxian broke through to the vajra realm.

The Vajra Essence is as rare as Cao Su's evolution from a white body with nothing to a "big man of energy and blood". Cao Su has been reluctant to use the golden Vajra Essence since he got it.

According to the theory, after this essence is used up, he should also be able to see through the barrier of the profound realm, so this essence is directly related to his breakthrough.

Cao Su is going to hone his supernatural powers many times, and after constantly consolidating the foundation of his strength, he will think about how to better use this diamond essence.

Apart from the Jingyi of Vajra, Cao Su didn't have many other essences of strength.

Cao Su had discovered a long time ago that even the essence of strength on the panel has different levels.

He categorized it by himself, and it can be the essence of the "upper, middle and lower" three grades.

For example, after he stepped into the first-rank realm, the essence of the lower rank in the ordinary strength realm has no effect on him, only the essence of the upper rank of the strength realm can be effective. The effect is very small, it is not as good as the effect of his own hard work or looking for Anyang Shuangxiu.

However, it is very difficult to obtain the essence of the upper-level strength realm. Either the martial arts of the upper-level strength realm will be killed, or the martial arts of the middle-level strength realm will break through to the upper-level strength realm.

Therefore, Cao Su's cultivation progress is slow, and there are some objective reasons.

The establishment of the Beiwu Academy also hopes that through the academy, more martial arts of the upper level of strength can be created to supply his first-level cultivation.
-
Two days later, there was a martial arts arena in the city.

The Jizhou government transformed a former barracks into a temporary martial arts arena for the admissions exam. This exam is an opening exam and will last for several days.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that specific tickets will be set up for each martial arts performance, and only those who have paid for the tickets can enter the martial arts arena to watch.

This "ticket system" surprised everyone inside and outside Jizhou Mansion.

Among them, the vast number of poor civilians had never thought about buying this ticket, thinking that the price of the ticket must be very high, and with their strength, they could not afford the ticket.

However, unexpectedly, the general specially thought of leaving a part of the tickets for civilians to watch.

The quantity accounts for about one-third of the viewing quantity of a game, and the remaining two-thirds are actually sold, and the purchasers can only buy two copies per person.

The officials appointed by Cao Jun are responsible for managing this matter. During the entrance examination of Beiwu Academy, martial arts are banned in the city, and others are prohibited from using force to snatch tickets from the source.

Tickets are just a trivial matter. Since the general wants the civilians to watch the "performance", the big families in the city can't afford to offend the general. In their eyes, thousands of civilians are not as important as the general's mood. The favor of the general is the most correct investment.

Therefore, on the first day of the Beiwu Academy's admissions selection examination, a large number of spectators flooded into the martial arts arena.

It is mainly composed of various sects, sects and major families. Of course, there are also some civilian audiences. Thousands of people gathered in the martial arts arena.

After waiting for a while, Cao Su appeared in the martial arts arena with his family in a carriage.

On this day, Cao Su was accompanied by Princess Anyang, Liu Yiqi, Ma Yuanji, and Li Nanyan. Cao Su was surrounded by many concubines. In addition, there were two boys, one girl, and a monk. Toddler in swaddling.

A mighty family appeared on the high seat of the martial arts arena.

The eldest son Cao Mingxiao was very excited. This was the first time he had the opportunity to step out of Nuo Da's general's mansion in such a long time.

I didn't expect that the outside of the general's mansion would be so lively, it was like a paradise on earth, but unfortunately he is too young now, the opportunities to come out and play like this are few and far between, especially now that his father has found a teacher for him.

He glanced behind, Wen Guang's stern face was staring at him, making the back of his head feel a little hot.

What a headache.
Not long after Cao Su's family appeared, Wan Buping leaped out of the mountains and tsunami and appeared on the ground of the martial arts field.

"Be safe, everyone."

Wan Buping is a top-ranking master of strength and a famous hero. He especially enjoys this feeling of being watched by everyone. This is something he has been instilled and pursued since he was a child.

Wearing a white robe, he stood on the martial arts arena, and then spoke about the rules for the recruitment and selection.

At the same time, several gambling houses in the city have already killed the wind. Under the instructions of some big bosses, the gambling houses specially set up handicap for the entrance examination of Beiwu Academy. Every handicap of martial arts performance involves All the lives of many desperate gamblers.

The market became more and more heated, and to a certain extent, it also increased the attention of Beiwu Academy's admissions selection exam.
