Chapter 26 Dragon Fish Terrace
"Zhu Dong, what's with that fishing rod? We can't yet separate spiritual energy from our bodies, so how can we control it to gather and prevent it from dissipating?"
Zhu Dong: "Brother Qing has hit the nail on the head. That fishing rod is specially made so that it can hold spiritual energy. Even now, we can do what we did in the video. But it depends on the total amount of spiritual energy in our Shenque acupoint."
Moreover, as far as I know, there are three types of fishing rods: 10 meters, 15 meters, and 20 meters.
To catch big fish, you need a long rod, but a long rod means a higher requirement for the total amount of spiritual energy and the ability to control it.
"My personal suggestion is that we should just use a 10-meter fishing rod."
Xiao Weiqing then asked, "How do I obtain the fishing rod?"
Zhu Dong replied, "Longyutai sells them, and they're also available for rent; you need points to do so."
"Zhu Dong, we don't have any points right now, do we?" someone asked.
At this moment, Qin Sheng spoke up, "The senior who brought us here tomorrow will rent fishing rods for each of us for one day. We'll have to rely on ourselves for the remaining six days."
"Damn, if it were our air force, wouldn't we be unable to make ends meet and be finished?"
Zhu Dong: "No, there are places in Longyutai that specialize in raising dragonfish fry. If you don't have points, you can feed them spiritual energy and you'll get points. I estimate that in a day, you can get enough points to rent a fishing rod for a day."
"To feed the fish with one's own body?"
"almost."
Next, everyone began to discuss tomorrow's assessment.
Xiao Weiqing deactivated the bracelet and continued cultivating the Samadhi True Fire Refining Spirit Technique. "The spiritual energy in the Divine Palace is already close to one-twentieth, but it's definitely not enough."
"Cultivation!"
Silent all night.
......
the next day.
Xiao Weiqing was full of energy. After a night of cultivation, the spiritual energy in his Shenque acupoint had increased further, and his Qi and fire had been refined to 103 strands.
"Good morning, Brother Qing."
A student from Anqiu City greeted him.
After yesterday's two battles, it's clear to everyone that Xiao Weiqing's strength is unparalleled in Anqiu City.
This is just the beginning; the "technique" hasn't reached its full potential yet. The advantages of the "technique" will only gradually become apparent once everyone has opened their dantian.
At that time, Xiao Weiqing will definitely be far ahead of everyone else. Xiao Weiqing has convinced everyone with his strength.
"morning."
After having lunch, the people from Anqiu City gathered at the port they had designated the day before.
Jiang Peng and Wang Fu were already waiting.
"Is everyone here?"
Qin Sheng replied, "All 52 people are here."
"Alright, let's go then."
More than 50 people boarded a small aircraft.
It quickly took off and left Luojiang Academy, flying upstream along the Luojiang River.
Wang Fu said, "You must all know about the entrance examination for this year's new students, right? Dragon Fish Terrace. I won't go into details, you should all have heard about it."
"The assessment is also very simple. You have six and a half days to catch dragonfish and earn points. On the afternoon of the seventh day, based on the ranking of points, you will be assigned to the upper, middle and lower academies. The upper academy has the best resources, followed by the middle academy, and then the lower academy."
"There aren't many requirements for the assessment, but there are still some things to pay attention to. Fishing for dragonfish smaller than one foot is prohibited, and you must release them if you catch them. Killing one will result in a penalty of 20 points."
"Every year, there are students who owe the academy points even before they've been admitted. I don't want you to become one of them."
Li Fangnan raised his hand: "Senior."
"explain?"
"How many points are needed to enter the Upper House?"
They already knew from the forum that a one-foot-long dragonfish was worth 10 points, a three-foot-long one was worth 100 points, and the longer the fish, the more points it was worth.
Wang Fu said, "I can't know the specifics; it depends on the rankings."
"However, in the Dragon Fish Terrace assessment three years ago, the points required to enter the Upper Academy were around 1000, and the Middle Academy was around 400."
"1000 points, that's a lot."
This means they would need to acquire ten three-foot-long dragonfish in order to have a chance of entering the Upper House.
They had already witnessed the cunning of the three-foot-long dragonfish through a video yesterday.
Jiang Peng scoffed, "You think this is Anqiu City? Geniuses are everywhere here, and level 3 extraordinary talents are as common as dogs."
"If three of you can get into the Upper House, I'll be burning incense in gratitude."
Everyone nodded in disappointment. Jiang Peng must have his reasons for saying that.
Yesterday evening, the people of the prefectural city had already witnessed it: all of them possessed level 4 extraordinary talents, and their strength was so powerful that it was despair-inducing.
Wang Fu nodded. "Although I also hope that you can all enter the Upper Court, the reality is cruel. You should still aim for the Middle Court."
"This is just the first step in cultivation, merely the beginning. Every month, the academy will re-divide the students based on certain indicators and implement a bottom-ranking elimination system. The bottom 10 students in the upper academy will be demoted to the middle academy, while the top 10 students in the middle academy will enter the upper academy."
"The same applies to the transfer from the lower house to the middle house; there are 200 slots available."
"What you need to do now is to prepare well for this assessment."
As they were talking.
The aircraft has landed.
Arrived at Longyutai.
The river here is not wide, only 2 or 3 kilometers wide, which is considered narrow compared to other places in Luojiang.
Along both banks of the river, thousands of dragonfish platforms of all sizes stand.
It stretches endlessly, a truly magnificent sight.
If you look closely, you'll see that there are even many huge dragonfish platforms in the middle of the river.
"Stop looking. You're not allowed to go up to the Dragon Fish Platform in the middle unless you have the strength of the Third Realm."
Seeing everyone staring intently at the Dragon Fish Platform in the center, Wang Fu couldn't help but shout.
"Come on, I'll take you to rent fishing rods."
Wang Fu led everyone to a pavilion. There was one of these pavilions every kilometer, used for supplies, and there were people inside who raised fish fry.
Enter the lobby.
"Teacher Wang, we're here to rent fishing rods."
"The freshman assessment."
"Yes."
How many people?
52 people.
"Okay, swipe your wristband."
Teacher Wang said to the new students, "Remember to return it before dark. If you fail, come back to me tomorrow morning. Many fish fry are starving, so it's good that you've come."
Everyone: "..."
Wang Fu swiped his bracelet and paid 520 points.
then.
He said to Jiang Peng, "Jiang Peng, you need to give me the 50 points from Linhai County."
"Damn it, Wang Fu, you don't need to be so clear about the distinctions. You have the nerve to ask me for 50 points?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving person."
"I'm likely to lose money this time welcoming new students. If no one gets into the Intermediate People's Court, these 520 points will be wasted."
Jiang Peng sighed softly, "Fine, fine, fine, take it."
He also knew that among the new students in Anqiu City, apart from Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan, who had the potential to enter the Upper Academy, Qin Sheng should be able to enter the Middle Academy, but it was hard to say who would be able to enter the remaining three levels.
The recruited students entering the Central Academy won't receive many points from the academy, so Wang Fu probably won't earn many points either.
After Wang Fu paid out the points, everyone received a fishing rod.
They walked outside.
Jiang Peng and Wang Fu led their group to a secluded spot.
Wang Fu said, "This entire river area is for your assessment. Choose any Dragon Fish Terrace you like. As for the outcome, that depends entirely on your abilities."
"But remember, you must not fish for fish smaller than one foot. If you do catch one, you must release it immediately, otherwise you will lose points."
"Secondly, going down the river is prohibited under any circumstances."
Li Fangnan asked, "Senior Wang, is it because there are monsters in the river?"
Wang Fu replied, "No. This area is fenced off upstream and downstream, and is only used to raise dragonfish. There are no other demonic beasts inside, only dragonfish."
Li Fangnan asked in confusion, "Then why is it forbidden?"
Wang Fu glanced at it: "I'm afraid you'll pollute the water."
"Although there will be no casualties in the Dragon Fish Terrace assessment, I hope you will give it your all. Many teachers are watching."
Wang Fu pointed to the sky and said that several drones were patrolling back and forth over the river.
"If you're lucky enough to be chosen as a disciple by a teacher, you'll avoid many detours."
"Go."
