"If there are twelve of us, then so be it!
Dean Liang, can you give me the key now? "Hua Kai asked as he raised his hand.
"Of course!" Liang Hai smiled happily when he saw Hua Kai take the key to the 'Genius Courtyard'.
No matter how good your aptitude was, if you didn't have the heart to forge ahead and the courage to fight, it would be useless no matter how strong your aptitude was. This courtyard was originally prepared for Hua Kai.
"Chinese Ink, Xue Chen, the ten of you will stay behind. Hua Xuan will stay behind. The rest of you will find a place to stay in the dormitory area. In the future, everyone can come here every afternoon to train in the martial arts field. I will guide you in your cultivation every day!" Hua Kai said after thinking for a while.
The youths were also very happy. In the future, if they were to be together with Hua Kai often, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough resources or not being able to enter the secret realm.
In the future, they would all be studying in the academy for a few years, if nothing unexpected happened!
"Oh right, Dean Liang!
When are we going to class? "
Hua Kai entered the main house of the courtyard and saw that the decorations were very luxurious. It was even more luxurious than the main house of the Hua family in Guang County.
"You can slowly learn about the academy today. In a while, I will ask two teachers to introduce you to the academy. In the afternoon, your uniforms should be sent over. When the time comes, if you need anything, you can look for me at any time!" Dean Liang said and left.
The rest of the Hua family went to the dormitory area to book their rooms. These rooms were usually two people to a room. Of course, there were special existences.
For lunch, they were in the communal cafeteria. They could eat as much barbecued meat and cornbread as they wanted. In addition, there were some other exquisite dishes that required money. Hua Kai saw that there was some savage beast meat here and tasted it. The taste was far inferior to that of the Hua family's chef.
Not long after lunch, Hua Kai and the rest were resting in the courtyard. At this time, a few life teachers knocked on the door and came in. The clothes for the twelve of them were ready.
Hua Kai put it on and tried it on. The craftsmanship was really good. The academy actually sent over two sets of clothes to change into!
After changing their clothes, they looked at each other and really did look like scholars.
Every child in Guang County yearned for the Guang County Academy from a young age. However, most families could only provide for one or two talented direct descendants to enroll in the academy. If they were unable to advance to the intermediate level within a few years, the family would deprive them of the right to continue their studies!
Just as Hua Kai was about to go out with Chinese Ink and the others, three teachers came in with drawing boards. They were actually going to draw portraits of the 12 people. Hua Kai saw that the paper they were using was "Hua Kai".
Needless to say, these teachers' drawing skills were very good. In just over ten minutes, a beautified portrait appeared in front of Hua Kai. The teacher placed Hua Kai's head in a photo frame, and another teacher began to write under his portrait.
Hua Kai took a look and saw that his basic information was written on it. His age, martial skills, and identity were all clearly introduced. After writing it down, the teacher actually hung his portrait on the outer wall of the courtyard!
"Our academy has a rule that everyone who lives in the Genius Courtyard must have a clear information. This way, it will be more convenient for others to challenge you. However … with your age and realm, there are probably not many people in the academy who are qualified to challenge you!
In the Genius Courtyard, it is very rare for someone to be successfully challenged. "The teacher explained to Hua Kai.
Hua Kai knew that this was the academy's incentive for the genius students.
The age and realm of the challengers were limited to ensure that the game could continue normally. Being able to enter the Genius Courtyard was already the best. It was basically impossible for someone of the same age to defeat them.
This was also a mechanism for the ordinary students to let everyone know the difference between them and the geniuses.
When the 12 portraits were hung on the wall, countless students came to take a look. They compared the geniuses in the Genius Courtyard to see if there was anyone they could challenge.
After looking at their realm introductions, many people lost the courage to challenge.
Reaching the Initial Element Realm before the age of 13, this made many students who were still in the Tempered Body Realm lower their heads in shame.
"Is this real or fake?
Reaching the Peak of the Initial Element Realm at the age of 14!
The weakest is Tempered Body Realm Level 7 and is only 12 years and 9 months old. They couldn't have broken through to the Tempered Body Realm before the age of 12, right? "A student said in disbelief.
"No, if they entered the Tempered Body Realm before the age of 12, the academy teachers would definitely be able to find out.
I am only 15 years old, so I should have the qualifications to compete with that person! "A handsome youth said from the side.
"Hmph!
Han Zhe, I advise you not to go and embarrass yourself!
Hua Kai is the Holy Son who has been praised by the Emperor. He has the potential to become a Saint in the future. You are only at the Initial Element Realm Level 1 and you want to compete with the Holy Son? I bet you can't even beat the children around him. "A Li family student said to Han Zhe.
This Han Zhe was considered to be one of the most talented in the younger generation of the Han family. He entered the Initial Element Realm at the age of 15, the Qi Transformation Realm before the age of 22, and the Qi Refinement Realm before the age of 35. In Guang County, this was considered to be very good. After all, there were less than 50 Qi Refinement Realm cultivators in Guang County.
But now, in front of so many people, he was scolded by a member of the Li family.
In the past, no one dared to speak to a member of the Han family in Guang County's academy. However, ever since the Han family suffered a loss at the hands of the Hua family, everyone gradually realized that the Han family was not invincible. The most obvious change was the academy's attitude towards the Han family students, which was no longer as respectful.
"Make way, Young Master Han Ge is here!"
Han Zhe's face was flushed red, but he did not dare to speak. The one who spoke was a member of the Li family, and he was not someone he could afford to offend.
At this moment, there were shouts from the outside. A few students escorted an elegant young man over.
"Isn't this Li Silang from the Li family?
It's not appropriate to bully the weak like this! "Han Ge walked to Li Silang's side and said softly.
Han Ge and Li Xing were the most outstanding direct descendants of the Han and Li families. They had entered the intermediate school before the age of 18, and they had a high chance of entering Jixia Academy.
"Han Ge, your Han family is used to being domineering in Guang County. Today, the Genius Institution is opening. Why don't you consider the Han family to try?"
The Li family was not afraid of the Han family in the past, let alone now!
The familiar rhythm of the academy began again. This Li Xing was like a fighting cock, rebuking the Han family whenever he saw them. Everyone in Guang County's academy was already used to this. He was a direct descendant of the Li family, and the Han family could not do anything to him.
"Hmph!
You can only rely on your words. If you have the ability, go up and leave your name!
Take down that Saint and show everyone here. Young Master Li, do you dare to go? "Han Ge looked at Li Xing and said.
To challenge a talent from the Genius Institution, one only needed to leave one's name and class under the other party's portrait. Only three names could be left each day. If one went, they would not be able to compete!
"I'm already 17 years old!
That Saint is younger than me by two years. I won't be so thick-skinned as to challenge someone so much younger than me. Even if we were to spar, it would definitely be after the age of 10.
The Li family would not be so stupid as to offend the Hua family for no reason! "Li Xing looked at Han Ge with contempt. This provocation was too lame!
Both of them were important members of their families and naturally knew the current situation in Guang County.
The Hua family's strength had already risen to the top, and the Han family could only bow down to them.
If the Han family wanted to make a comeback, it would be best to bring the third son to fight the eldest son. These few days, the Han family and the Li family's interactions had gradually increased. One could not help but sigh at the fact that the two families were still the biggest enemies just a month ago!
As the two of them were talking, they saw someone go up and leave his name and class number under a portrait. He would be able to compete with the other party tomorrow afternoon. It did not matter if he lost, and even if he won, the chances of him being admitted were not high. However, it was at least a try.
If an ordinary person wanted to challenge a student from the Genius Institution, they would have to accept the other party's challenge if they won. Only by winning again would they be able to gain the other party's recognition and squeeze out a spot to enter the Genius Institution.
Hua Kai saw that many students had already chosen suitable opponents based on their age. Of the 12 people from the Hua family, only Hua Kai and two other youths who were over 14 years old were chosen. The others were too young, and those who were older than them could not choose even if they wanted to.
At this moment, two teachers knocked on the door and came in. They were here to guide Hua Kai and introduce the Academy to him. The 26 people from the Hua family left the courtyard and locked the door. In the afternoon, they followed the two teachers and toured the entire Guang County Academy.
Especially the books in the core area of the Academy, the two teachers gave them a detailed introduction.
There were authentic works left behind by tycoons and great masters. These authentic works were usually only accessible to students.
When they returned at night, each of them held the timetable given to them by their teachers for this month and studied it carefully together!
The Guang County Academy had a total of six courses: Spring and Autumn, Book of Songs, Etiquette, Mathematics, Martial Arts, and Erudition.
In this world, the Four Books and Five Classics also existed, but they were not exclusive to the Confucian school. All students who entered the Academy had to study these courses.
Hua Kai looked at the introductions of these six courses and gradually gained a better understanding of the Academy's teaching methods and contents.
Of the six courses, Spring and Autumn, Book of Songs, Etiquette, and Mathematics were compulsory courses that everyone had to study. Furthermore, the Elementary Zone only tested these four courses every month. The grades for Martial Arts and Erudition were given by the teachers based on everyone's usual performance.
There was no need for introductions on Martial Arts. Although one could not learn many new Martial Arts here, the teachers would start from the Qi Condensation Realm and explain the changes of True Qi to the Xiantian Realm. This could be said to be the most important course for most people!
The Erudition content was the most extensive. From the introduction of various kinds of demon beasts, spirit beasts, savage beasts, and desolate beasts, to the landforms of the continent, to the wonders of the people, and finally to the initial understanding of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. It could be said that this was everyone's first contact with the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and laid the foundation for them to enter the Intermediate Zone in the future.
After entering the Intermediate Zone, everyone would have to choose a direction in Martial Arts and Erudition. At that time, the assessment would be very strict. At this time, everyone would have a basic understanding of their future development.
Whether it was to focus on combat, study the Hundred Schools of Thought, or delve into the history of the Spring and Autumn, Book of Songs, Etiquette, or Mathematics, everyone would have a basic understanding of their strengths.
At the Advanced Zone, all the students had a basic understanding of their future ceiling. Being able to enter Jixia Academy was the goal of the most outstanding students.
The last two courses were the key to being able to enter Jixia Academy. Everyone started to put in effort to study cultivation and the Hundred Schools of Thought.
The Guang County Academy's learning content was several levels higher than Huajiabao School's. The learning content here was obtained through the experience of countless teachers and students. Compared to Guang County Academy, Huajiabao School could only be considered to be enlightening children.
The Hua family looked at the 'Elementary Zone Class A Timetable' in their hands and imagined what the class would be like tomorrow.
Today, the teacher said that the textbooks would only be distributed to them tomorrow. Everyone gathered together to discuss what the textbooks would be like!
