Chapter 505: First Round

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen must have a profound understanding of the way of swordsmanship. Jiutian Qingjian Jue itself is the ancient way of swordsmanship. Coupled with his own experience, his understanding of the way of swordsmanship naturally has his own unique understanding. Therefore, he can feel relaxed. He wrote down his understanding of the way of swordsmanship, but generally he wrote it simply. After all, the length of this piece of white paper is always limited, so he just tried to be as concise and concise as possible.

Soon, the time of a lamp passed, and the first exam was over. A burst of light flashed by, and everyone appeared in the academy one after another. Zhang Zhiwen also sat in his original position again, but in front of the old man. There is a large stack of answer sheets on the table.

"Well, since the first exam has been completed, let me take a look." The old man seemed to be looking forward to it. He stroked his beard, then picked up a paper and looked at it. Everyone also looked at the old man. They were all very nervous, and they all guessed which family the old man's first paper was from, and what his answers were, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Lu Yuanba and Lu Xiaolou didn't seem to care too much about the scene when they were learning Taoism. They seemed to be proud of the victory. It was obvious that they were very confident, just like in a school. Like the students with the best grades, they never care much about test scores, as if they already know the results.

There is something different on the Tianshui Wonderland team. Shi Wuyin is quite calm. Maybe her understanding of kendo should be good, but Bai Feifan seems to be quite confident. After all, he majored in kendo, so naturally he feels good. As for others , which was quite nervous. Zhu Qianrou glanced at Zhang Zhiwen and saw that Zhang Zhiwen lowered his eyebrows slightly, but there was no abnormality. The corners of Zhu Qianrou's mouth also turned up slightly. It was obvious that she could see Zhang Zhiwen's mentality. Now, it's as stable as an old dog.

Zhang Zhiwen felt Zhu Qianrou's gaze, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Qianrou. Seeing Zhu Qianrou's half-smiling look, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but glare at her, and Zhu Qianrou quickly pretended to be nervous. He looked at the old man, and Zhang Zhiwen looked away with satisfaction. Of course, these small actions meant that Zhu Qianrou and Zhang Zhiwen were secretly communicating with each other in private, and no one else noticed.

"Well, this paper is pretty good. The paper from Earth and Water Fairyland? Well, I can give you a good one." The old man gave an evaluation after reading the paper. After hearing this, the team from Earth and Water Fairyland seemed quite satisfied. He breathed a sigh of relief, but others didn't notice it Seeing how good these results were, he looked quite disapproving, and then the old man continued to check the papers. These were obviously papers from the Earthly Water Fairyland. He read the papers of the other people in the Earthly Water Fairyland for nine points in one breath, and then gave them all Out of good evaluation.

Obviously, there is no particularly outstanding performance in Earth Water Wonderland. They all just received a good rating. However, everyone does not know how the old man rated it specifically. They probably feel that this good rating is not very good. Of course, it is not considered a good one. Not bad.

In this way, the old man continued to check the next set of papers. This group's turn was the golden fairyland. This golden fairyland was naturally the fairyland to which the five elements of gold with yellow prefixes belonged. After reading the papers, the old man could not help but look disappointed, and then frowned and sighed. He said: "This volume can only be rated as a hit. The artistic conception is quite different. I hope to work hard in the future."

When the old man said this, the Golden Wonderland team was suddenly disappointed. Obviously, this result did not look very good. It only got an average, which must be much worse than the good ones. Then the old man continued to grade the papers, and the subsequent papers It's pretty good, and they all received good reviews.

Obviously, the Golden Fairyland team is a little worse than the Earthly Water Fairyland team in terms of kendo exposition. The Earthly Water Fairyland team is naturally quite proud, and now there are people who are not as good as them. The Golden Fairyland team is naturally a little disappointed, but they They quickly came to their senses, because this was just the first test, and there were eight more to come, and they might not lose to the Earthly Water Fairyland.

In this way, the old man continued to grade the papers, and the results that appeared later surprised the others even more, because most of the subsequent papers had average grades, and they were not completely average grades, mixed with inferior or even inferior grades!

These teams include Xuanshui Wonderland, Yellow Wood Wonderland, etc. Obviously, no one expected this result. Obviously, the old man's evaluation was quite harsh, because the teams present were the best in each fairyland. Even if the swordsman is not a monk in his own way, he has understood the existence of the nine roots. But even so, in the old man's evaluation, there are many inferior and inferior ones, the middle ones account for the majority, and the good ones are rare. few.

In this way, the Earthly Water Wonderland team has become the best team among this group of teams. At this time, the Earthly Water Wonderland team is obviously quite proud, but soon, the old man got the paper for the Tianmu Wonderland team. , this is the paper for Lu Xiaolou’s team.

When the old man saw this paper, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and then he nodded frequently: "Very good, very good... This paper is excellent!"

This was the first time that the old man evaluated the paper as an excellent one. Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar. It was obvious that Lu Xiaolou's team was very strong. He got an excellent grade for the first paper. Then the old man continued to grade the paper with great expectation. After that, several copies were excellent, and only one was good. This result far surpassed that of the Earthly Water Fairyland team, and everyone could hardly lift their heads. It was almost like a powerful force that left other teams far behind. It's in the back.

"It's good to have excellent grades, but no matter what, the team with the highest grade is the winner. If all have the highest grade, then the superiority must be determined by the number of the highest grade." The old man stroked his beard and said, and everyone understood how the literary duel was decided. It turned out to be decided in this way, which is reasonable, but it also makes the most outstanding results particularly important in the proportion of wins and losses. For example, the current Tianmu Fairyland team has seven excellent evaluations and three good grades. In theory, the number of excellent grades is enough. To win the Tianmu Fairyland team, unless there is a team with eight excellent grades or even nine or ten excellent grades, or directly a team with more than excellent grades, but it seems that no one will consider things like exceeding excellent grades. This is already excellent, what is more powerful than excellent?

It seems that the team leading the way is the Tianmu Fairyland team, which is the team led by Lu Xiaolou. Obviously, not only Lu Xiaolou is strong, but the rest of the team is also strong. At this time, the other teams already know that the Tianmu Fairyland team where Lu Xiaolou is must be firmly in the top three. At least in this sword theory test, they are overwhelming the other teams. Now it depends on the situation of the Tianjin Fairyland team, that is, the situation of Lu Yuanba’s team.

Lu Yuanba didn't seem surprised. Seeing that Lu Xiaolou's team got such a good score, they were quite calm. The old man then checked the papers of Lu Yuanba's team. When the old man took out the papers, his eyes lit up again. Then he couldn't help stroking his beard and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Excellent, really wonderful!..."

As soon as the old man said this, everyone immediately knew the result. Obviously, Lu Yuanba seemed to be more powerful, but it was also true that Lu Yuanba was a serious ancient swordsman. He alone was enough to crush everyone present.

Therefore, after the old man finished reading, he actually gave an excellent score for the first time. This was the highest score he had ever given since he started marking the papers. Lu Yuanba and others didn't think so, as if they had expected it long ago. However, others were naturally shocked. Even Lu Xiaolou and others were obviously unhappy. But Lu Yuanba and others were really powerful. Even if Lu Xiaolou and others were not very happy, they could do nothing about it.

The situation on the Tianshui Fairyland team side was a little subtle. Shi Wuyin and others saw the strength of other fairyland masters for the first time. Even though Bai Feifan was quite confident in his swordsmanship, he was obviously inferior to Lu Yuanba. Therefore, everyone was quite frustrated. Zhu Qianrou remained calm and even very calm. Zhang Zhiwen was still the same, with his eyebrows lowered and no reaction. Others saw him as Zhu Qianrou's personal assistant, nothing special.

In this way, the old man continued to review the papers. The papers of the Tianjin Fairyland team where Lu Yuanba was located were quickly reviewed. In addition to giving one excellent, the old man gave the other seven papers excellent, and the remaining two were good. In this way, the Tianjin Fairyland team obviously won the first place in this first exam on swordsmanship with the strongest advantage.

Everyone seemed to have expected it, but only at this moment did everyone understand the gap between them from the sword theory. Before, they had at most felt it, but now the feeling was very clear. This gap was difficult for them to cross. Although everyone was the strongest young cultivator in the fairyland, the gap was like a chasm that could not be crossed. This was a comparison produced in a specific way.

They worked hard, but they got a good grade in the sword perception, or even a second grade or an inferior grade. But looking at the team of Lu Yuanba and Lu Xiaolou, they easily got an excellent grade. This is like the situation of students in the school. Good students are powerful, and poor students can't catch up no matter how hard they try.

At this time, there were not many papers left, and the old man continued to mark the papers. However, there was nothing outstanding about the subsequent papers. Most of them were similar to the previous papers. Either they got a few good grades, or they were second grades, and then they were inferior grades. Of course, most of them were good grades. After all, they were all elite disciples, not useless.

Everyone generally knew what was going on. Now that there were not many papers left, it seemed that the overall situation had been decided. Of course, this was the first round, and it was also a good start. Those who did well in the exam would be overjoyed and satisfied. Those who did not do well in the exam would have other opportunities to make persistent efforts. However, everyone knew that losing the first opportunity would definitely be disadvantageous. The other teams did not think too much, but only wanted to strive for the third place. After all, it was still extremely difficult for them to surpass the teams of Lv Yuanba and Lu Xiaolou. Their two teams were simply anomalies, far behind the other teams.

At this time, the old man picked up another paper, and then his eyes lit up again. He saw the team affiliation on the paper again, and he couldn't help but say: "Oh, I didn't expect that the Tianshui Fairyland team has such talents, not bad, not bad..."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned. Obviously, no one expected that the paper was almost finished, and the old man seemed to have made some new discoveries, and it was about the Tianshui Fairyland team. The Tianshui Fairyland team suddenly became excited, especially Bai Feifan, who couldn't help but stare at the old man. Obviously, he was going to see if this paper was his paper, but this paper was difficult for ordinary people to see through. When the old man held it in his hand, no one knew whose paper it was.

But no matter what, when the old man said this, the Tianshui Wonderland team was obviously refreshed. It was obvious that the old man had something to say. Before that, everyone was thinking about competing for third place. After all, the top one and the top two were obviously very different. It's hard to surpass, so getting the third rank in the first exam is pretty good.

Of course, Lu Yuanba, Lu Xiaolou and their team were a little disapproving. They were a little surprised to see the old man's reaction at first, but they quickly recovered and showed disapproval, because after all, The remaining people are just fighting for the third place, at least in terms of swordsmanship. Lu Yuanba himself has a background in swordsmanship, martial arts and law, such as If the test is about these three Taoist understandings, then he is absolutely confident, and the same is true for Lu Xiaolou. Although he is not a swordsman, his understanding of the swordsmanship is blessed by the ancient Dharma and the ancient Xuandao, so his understanding must be It is quite profound, and there seems to be no one else present who has the ancient swordsmanship. That must mean that he is ahead of others, and even the other people in his team have higher results than other teams.

This is the confidence of Lu Yuanba, Lu Xiaolou and even the monks in their team. They have a strong foundation. They usually have a competitive relationship in their own fairyland. Just imagine, the monks who can compete with Lu Yuanba or Lu Xiaolou can be different. Where to go? Therefore, it is not surprising that they are relatively strong. This can be regarded as the principle that the strong get stronger.

So when the old man came suddenly like this, they were naturally a little disapproving. He was just fighting for the third person they didn't want. If it was other Taoism, they couldn't say. After all, there were still some monks present who had obtained some ancient Taoism, such as Shi Wuyin, such as Zhu Qianrou and others, there are also very few monks in other teams who have ancient Taoism. They will pay attention to it, but as for swordsmanship, there is no need to worry too much.

But this was not the case for others. When they saw the old man suddenly changing like this, they must have thought that the Tianshui Wonderland team might win third place. Naturally, they were extremely concerned. After the old man finished reading the paper, he rubbed it. He stroked his beard and seemed to be lost in thought. He was so After a while, he said: "The answer is good, and it is quite domineering. I must have practiced swordsmanship quite profoundly, but it is a pity that I am still a little short of the best. I can only say that it is somewhat close... Therefore, I can only give one best, but this You are better than others."

After the old man said this, the Tianshui Wonderland team was obviously quite surprised. Bai Feifan showed a hint of disappointment. Obviously, he felt that the paper seemed to be his, but he did not expect that the result was not so ideal, but compared to others It seems better A good point, but it can't be said to be outstanding, and Shi Wuyin and others didn't know what to think. They didn't know whose paper it was anyway, but if they could get an excellent grade, they would still be satisfied, and they subconsciously moved toward Bai Feifan looked at it.
