Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 130 Selection

"The Elephant Theater?"

Now both the old man and the disciple were stunned, the former rolled his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Lin, "Your bones are really good, but if you want to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy, you need to cultivate at least level two, unless..."

"Unless you defeat two disciples from the outer courtyard who are at the third level of the aura." Zhao Lin took the conversation calmly and said.

"So you know."

The old man stroked his beard twice and narrowed his eyes, "Is this what your master meant? He may not be clear, but the assessment of the Elephant Dance Academy is now stricter than it was back then."

"The assessment disciples are not randomly recruited. They are all disciples from the outer courtyard who are ranked high in the rose competition, and their strength may not be much worse than the disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy."

"With your aptitude, it's not a problem to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy after studying in the outer courtyard for a year and a half. Why rush?"

Zhao Lin didn't refute directly, but said calmly: "I heard that those who can enter the Dancing Elephant Academy are geniuses, I want to try."

"Young people are brave, but the old man still wants to remind you: fists and feet have no eyes, and if you get hurt, the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Thank you senior, the junior still wants to try."

The old man shook his head and stopped persuading.

The young disciple "brushed" a few strokes and wrote a line of words on the wooden sign.

Zhao Lin glanced at it, and saw that the wooden sign read:

Name: Zhao Lin

Age: 17 years old
Registration: Dance Theater
Root bone: upper middle

Cultivation level: first level air environment

Origin: Yingzhou, Qinghe County, Liuhemen, under the tutelage of Zhu Huaishan.

"Junior Brother Chen, this is the one who signed up for the Elephant Dance Academy, please take it with you."

The young disciple called a person and asked him to take Zhao Lin to a pavilion in front of the mountain gate to wait.

Sitting in the gazebo were six men and one woman, all of whom looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Zhao Lin walked into the gazebo, and immediately felt the vigorous energy and blood emanating from everyone, all of whom had cultivation bases above the second level of energy.

Especially the man with a square face and a strong figure sitting opposite him, with a heavy breath, almost the same as Xu Mabang, the second leader of the bandit, probably has entered the stage of hitting the third level of the atmosphere.

He understood instantly in his heart: These people, just like himself, signed up for the Dancing Elephant Academy.

When the seven people saw Zhao Lin, they all showed surprise in their eyes, and thought in their hearts: "This person is only at the first level of Qi, how can he apply for the Dancing Elephant Academy?"

Zhao Lin naturally knew what they were thinking, but there was no need to deliberately explain, so he just found a place to sit down.

After a while, an elegant-looking man in his thirties with a gentle expression walked into the pavilion, holding a stack of wooden signs in his hand.

Zhao Lin noticed that there was a black bird embroidered on this person's clothes. He had heard from his master that this was the symbol of inner court disciples.

The man in his thirties looked around at the crowd, and casually cupped his hands, "All the people who signed up for the Elephant Dance Academy are here, follow me."

Everyone got up quickly and followed the thirty-year-old man up the mountain.

"I don't know what to call senior brother?" the only woman among the eight asked.

The thirty-year-old man looked back and nodded slightly, and said politely: "My name is Hu Xuancheng, and I am a disciple of the inner court. Just call me Senior Brother Hu."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Hu, for leading the way." Everyone said one after another.

Regardless of whether the eight people can enter the Dancing Elephant Academy or not, they must be eligible to enter the outer courtyard, and it is normal for them to say that they are seniors.

Of course, if you fail to enter the Dance Elephant Academy, it is also possible to choose to quit, after all, Yanzhou is not just a big sect of Xingyunzong.

The eight people seldom talked to each other along the way. First, they were nervous about the upcoming selection and were not in the mood to chat.

Secondly, before they got started, they were in a competitive relationship, so there was nothing to talk about, and it would not be too late to talk about their friendship after passing the assessment.

Hu Xuancheng led the crowd to the middle of the mountain and walked into a courtyard. There were three words written on the plaque in the inner hall: Seven Star Pavilion.

"Everyone wait here, I will go in and report."

Hu Xuan confessed and walked into the Seven Star Pavilion.

In the hall of the pavilion sat five old men with wide robes and long sleeves, with a calm demeanor.

The inner courtyard of Xingyunzong has five branches of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the exercises and strength methods of each courtyard are different.

For this reason, the Dancing Elephant Academy is also divided into five sections, and the exercises practiced by each section are in the same line as the inner courtyard.

The five elders are the elders of the Dancing Elephant Academy, who are in charge of imparting skills and karma to the disciples of various ministries.

"Elders, there are a total of eight disciples who signed up for the Elephant Dance Academy today. This is their origin."

Hu Xuancheng walked into the hall, saluted the five old men sitting at the top, and then presented the wooden sign to a handsome old man in the middle.

The old man Qinghao is the elder of the Ministry of Jin. His real name is Wu, and his alias is Jinshi. He ranks first among the five ministries.

For the convenience of calling, the five elders all use the names of their respective ministries as aliases, and the other four elders are aliased as Aoki, Shuijing, Huoyu, and Lutu.

"Eight? Three more than last month."

Elder Jinshi said with great interest, unfolded the wooden signs to check one by one, and suddenly said "Huh", "This man's master is called Zhu Huaishan."

Elder Lutu took the wooden sign and asked a little uncertainly, "Brother Zhu, could it be the same name and surname?"

Elder Jinshi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but the people of this sect open doors to accept disciples, and the inner palace has records, so it will be clear after checking."

Elder Huoyu on the side grinned and said, "What's there to find out? Wait a minute, this is called... Zhao Lin's practice technique, you can tell it at a glance."

Several elders nodded in agreement, Elder Jin Shi said: "Xuan Cheng, let them come in."

"Yes."

Hu Xuancheng responded and went out to bring the eight people in the yard into the hall.

"I have seen the elders."

When Zhao Lin saluted, he observed secretly, and saw that the hall was spacious and bright, with no extra decorations. There was a field in the middle, which was about half the size of the school field. It looked like a place for boxing exercises and martial arts competitions.

There are five short tables on the opposite side of the field, and behind each of the short tables sits an old man with a toga and long sleeves. He is not tall and looks approachable.

Elder Jinshi showed a smile on his face, and said: "You all passed the first round of selection, which means that your cultivation base aptitude is the top choice. But if you want to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy, we still need to investigate further."

"Now report the martial arts and fist strength you major in, and practice them on the spot."

"Don't be nervous, just show what you have learned, and the time is best controlled within [-] breaths."

As he spoke, he picked up a wooden sign and read: "Let's start with Kong Cang."

Kong Cang was the man with the square face. He walked to the center of the field and raised his voice: "Disciple Kong Cang, majors in Chongyun Jue. His exercises include Chunyang Fist and Fallen Leaf Kick."

After finishing speaking, he let out a loud drink, pumped up his energy and blood, and punched out a set of punches. The punches moved like the wind, and the legs punched like electricity. The sound of piercing through the air suddenly resounded in the hall.

The five elders nodded unconsciously.

They have been immersed in their respective martial arts fields for many years, and their vision and experience are top-notch. At a glance, they know that Kong Cang is a good seed, enough to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy. The only thing that can be discussed is which department to enter.

After more than ten breaths, Kong Cang suddenly stopped, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, he gave a salute and left the venue.
