The Emperor is Above

Chapter 275: Let go and do something big at the Imperial College

This can be possible!

Qing Yi's mood was far from as calm as he appeared.

Although the beast-tusk puppet soldiers are helpful for cultivation, Qing Yi’s purpose does not stop there.

He was inevitably nervous when he made the argument just now, but seeing the expression of the Grand Priest Chen Lun, Qing Yi couldn't help but feel secretly happy. If he could convince the Grand Priest of the Imperial College, the rest of the things would be basically settled.

The honest young man Zhu Zhiwu bravely whispered, "This beast-tooth puppet soldier made by Guqiu Yi has many combinations of rune formations, which are refreshing.

It seems that these runes have all been learned in the rune master course, and the formations can be mastered by the eighth-grade rune master, but the response and combination between the formations are unheard of. "

What Zhu Zhiwu meant was that in the realm of an eighth-grade talisman master, the doctors and professors at the Imperial College were not as good as Qing Yi. This was so bold that it was almost like accusing the teachers of misleading the students.

The high priest Chen Lun was still carefully studying the beast-tusk puppet soldier in his hand. He seemed not to have heard what Zhu Zhiwu said and did not even have the intention to refute it.

Yang Hu observed the situation for a long time, and seeing this, he mustered up his courage, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Great Priest, please allow me to report, I think the Beast Tooth Puppet Soldier is not just a plaything, its future prospects are immeasurable.

I heard that when the northern border towns faced the elite cavalry of Xian Yu, casualties often occurred at the moment when the two armies clashed, while casualties in other battles were relatively less.

If we could create puppet soldiers that were life-size or even larger, wouldn't it be possible for them to charge into battle from the front line of the army, thus reducing many casualties among the soldiers?"

"Childish! Such wishful thinking of a child!"

Chen Lun sneered and raised the beast tusk puppet soldier in his hand, "Do you think that to make a bigger puppet, you just need to scale it up?
The beast-tusk puppet soldiers are carved from the bones of exotic animals. Due to their small size, they only need a number of rune formations to drive them. However, after being enlarged, these formations cannot be driven at all.

Decades ago, someone proposed your idea, but after wasting a lot of crystals and spiritual materials, they had to admit that it was nothing more than wishful thinking. "

After being scolded by Chen Lun, Yang Hu and Zhu Zhiwu dared not say a word and could only keep their thoughts to themselves.

Qing Yi bowed his hands and said seriously, "What the high priest said is a safe move, but Yang Hu's idea may be more conducive to his efforts to study the way of the talisman master.

I think that under the premise that the talents are not much different, interest is more important than talent. Even if studying large puppets will waste a few years, Yang Hu's understanding of rune formations will definitely be greatly improved."

Seeing that the high priest Chen Lun had a gloomy expression, Qing Yi took the opportunity to express his idea: "The ancient sages said, if you improve every day, you will improve every day, and improve every day. Who can say that what was impossible decades ago cannot be accomplished now?

It is said that the present will be better than the past, and the future will be better than the present. Only by laying the foundation from now on, even if some things cannot be realized now, they may be realized in a few decades.

I created this beast tooth puppet soldier to use an interesting competition to increase the interest and research of rune formations among rune masters and students."

The chief priest Chen Lun first stared at Qing Yi for a long time, looking at the serious expression of the young vassal, but his expression was solemn and he did not say anything.

Then he rubbed the animal-tusk puppet soldier in his hand and paced slowly on the grass. While Qing Yi, Yang Hu and Zhu Zhiwu were waiting for his answer, the seventy-year-old gray-robed old man turned around and walked back to the small building.

Yang Hu and Zhu Zhiwu looked at each other in bewilderment and could not help but whisper, "Does the High Priest agree or disagree?"

After Chen Lun walked several dozen steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to Qing Yi and said, "Try it according to your idea. I want to see the initial results in ten days. If you just play around, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Why ten days? Just five days will surely satisfy the High Priest!" Qing Yi showed a faint smile on his face. He could finally let go and work hard at the Imperial College.

"Eh? That's not right. The beast-fang puppet soldier that the high priest took away is mine!"

Zhu Zhiwu suddenly discovered that the treasure he had obtained was actually taken away by the high priest Chen Lun. He was anxious and helpless, and did not dare to ask the other party for it.

"Zhu Zhiwu, with Guqiu Yi here, do we still have to worry about not having beast fang puppet soldiers?"

Yang Hu first patted Zhu Zhiwu hard, and then said to Qing Yi with great joy: "Guqiu Yi, you are really amazing. No one dares to refute the decisions made by the high priest. I didn't expect that you could convince him. I wonder what you are going to do next?"

Qing Yi pondered for a moment and chuckled, "I will have to rely on you two for help. Don't be sad, Zhu Zhiwu. I will make one for you later. First, we need to gather a group of like-minded classmates to participate. Everyone will make animal tusk puppet soldiers by themselves and compete. The winner will receive a crystal stone as a reward."

The twelve apricot-kernel-sized crystals in Qing Yi's hand were, of course, spoils won from Zhong Xingshuo. Using them as prizes was a good way to make the most of them.

Yang Hu instantly felt a sense of pride and satisfaction: "Okay, I will go gather another group of friends. A crystal stone is very valuable to them.

Zhu Zhiwu and I don't care about these crystals. As long as as many classmates as possible join us in the research, I will let the High Priest know sooner or later that the Beast Fang Puppet Soldiers will surely shine in the future."

"Yang Hu is on good terms with many talented students from the Imperial Academy who are born as illegitimate children. These classmates have their own opinions on the research of rune formations, so they are worth making friends with."

Zhu Zhiwu explained earnestly,

"Most of my friends are from the Third Division, the Royal Guards, and the City Guards. They used to look down on the game of Beast Fang Puppet Soldiers, but the improvements you made, Guqiu Yi, will definitely make them scream with shock."

"Okay, I'll wait for you two here!"

Qing Yi nodded with a seemingly indifferent smile, but in fact he was ecstatic in his heart. These illegitimate sons with real abilities in the Imperial Academy were his first choice targets. It would depend on whether he could attract them next.

After getting Qing Yi's approval, the two of them quickly recruited more than 250 students from the Imperial College and divided them into two distinct camps.

Qing Yi carefully noticed that the 120 students brought by Yang Hu were obviously not as good in clothing, appearance, and temperament as the hundreds of students who initially gathered together to participate in the puppet soldier competition.

They were all bastards who were not valued at home, and they were at the bottom of the social class in the Imperial College, so it was inevitable that they looked a little insecure.

As for the more than 130 students recruited by Zhu Zhiwu, they had a distinct military atmosphere. It was obvious that they had inherited the skills of their fathers and grandfathers and received rigorous training.

Zhu Zhiwu pointed to a group of young men and boys and introduced them, "This is Ran Qiu, the second son of Ran Youyingwei, and that is Zhu Liao, the youngest son of Zhu Chengduwei..."

Unexpectedly, most of these military generals' children were acquaintances and juniors, but they couldn't help feeling awkward when facing Qing Yi. After all, Qing Yi and their fathers were like brothers.

Qing Yi already had an idea in mind on how to quickly establish good relationships with these two groups of students from the Imperial Academy who had different identities, experiences, and complicated relationships.

"Come on, come on, everyone, take a look at my two beast-fang puppet soldiers!"

Before waiting for these students from the imperial court to arrive, Qing Yi recreated two larger beast-tusk puppet soldiers based on the images of other Wangmang clan giants, each of which was one foot and five inches tall.

As for the source of the bones, there is no need to doubt it. When many students of the imperial court were reprimanded by the high priest, many of them secretly threw their animal-tusk puppet soldiers on the ground, which became the raw materials for Qing Yi to reprocess.

When more than 200 Imperial College students were either marveling at its exquisite and delicate appearance or questioning whether it was just for show and had no practical value, the two animal-tusk puppet soldiers suddenly exploded.

He rolled, jumped, punched, and kicked, displaying some basic boxing skills. His movements were so sharp and swift that even the discerning sons of military officers could not help but be dazzled.

Afterwards, the two beast-tusk puppet soldiers fought a fierce battle like two warring opponents, which fascinated the sons of military generals and the other imperial students also enjoyed it very much.

After a wonderful demonstration, Qing Yi took two beast tooth puppet soldiers in his hands and laughed loudly: "Look at these two beast tooth puppet soldiers. When carving, you need to have a strong understanding of rune formations, and when operating them, they can exercise the power of the soul very well.

Since Yang Hu and Zhu Zhiwu and I are good friends, and they are friendly to all of you, I would like to share this good thing with you all and help you all make progress together.

In addition, I plan to hold a competition every ten days. As long as you advance once in the competition, you can get 1,000 copper coins. As long as you are in the top three, you will get a crystal stone, and the champion will get two crystal stones. "

The expressions of these more than two hundred Imperial College students changed from confusion, surprise and envy to extreme excitement very quickly. Who wouldn't want to participate in something that not only allows them to learn skills but is also fun and interesting?

Especially the twelve apricot-kernel-sized crystals in Qing Yi's hand became the main motivation for them to actively participate. This thing is really valuable!
