Chapter 42: Wutong wants to try the Phoenix
When Li Zisheng came to the martial arts venue alone, he saw that there were already hundreds of children in the venue.
These students were divided into three clearly divided groups. The children standing in front were all wearing uniform black clothes, which looked exquisite in quality and well-tailored. The clothes at the back were also very uniform, but they were much inferior to the group in front, all of which were navy blue cloth robes. The clothes of the people at the last were not so neat and uniform.
The boy looked at the dark gray clothes on his body and walked consciously among the last bunch of children.
He looked around and Li Zisheng nodded and smiled as saying hello for any child he looked at him. When people saw his demeanor and generous look, even though they didn't recognize him, they naturally looked at him and smiled.
Finally, a child with a monkey head and a monkey mind who was closest to him came up and talked to him. Because the child was a little short, he raised his head and said, "This classmate, I have never seen you before. Are you a freshman this year?"
Li Xinsheng deliberately lowered his body, hugged his fists, and said, "Hello, senior. My name is Li Zisheng, and I am indeed the freshman this year."
The child also clasped his fists and said, "Hello, hello. My name is Hou Tongbiao. I am not a senior. Maybe you are even bigger than me. How old are you?"
The boy replied: "It's exactly twelve years old after the New Year."
Hou Tongbiao smiled and said very familiarly: "I am only eleven, so I should call you Brother Li."
Li Zisheng thanked politely: "Senior Hou is polite, are you going to be your brother first? Or should I call you senior brother?"
One of these two people was born with Su Hui and was precocious in her teenager, while the other was influenced by her family's supernatural powers. After reporting her name, she chatted happily together.
Hou Tongbiao is a leader in the catering industry in Jingnan - a child of the Changde Hou family. The Hou family mainly operates hotels and inns. Although it is more than one level worse than Tianchumen, it is well-known locally.
In particular, the Hou family has a secret recipe passed down by ancestral families, who are particularly good at cooking various types of birds. The restaurant is called "Hundred Bird Banquet", so the restaurant is named - Baiqi Tower.
Of course, there are no 100 different birds on this table, but there are also twenty or thirty species. From large cranes to the smallest birds, they can be cooked into delicious food. Jingnan is also a unique one.
This senior brother Hou was quite proud of his skills. The young man asked him and said, "Wang Po was selling melons and boasted."
Li Zisheng finally waited for him to finish talking about how delicious his own roast duck was. He made him swallow his saliva and inserted it into the conversation: "Senior Brother Hou, what's the situation ahead?"
Hou Tongbiao wiped his saliva with his sleeve and replied, "Is the opening ceremony? This is the set every year. At the beginning are the school children in the Tie family, behind them are their slaves, and finally it is our turn in the Dizi class. But we also have benefits. Just bow when you enter the main hall later. Xiaoli, let me tell you, the roast chicken tastes like my house..."
Although this child is thin and small, he is born a foodie. Whenever he talks about the delicious food he cooks, he will talk about it all the time, until another bell broke the advertisement for his family's hundred bird banquet.
The young man was secretly glad that the senior brother Hou in front of him was really noisy, no wonder no one talked to him, and Li Zisheng was hungry after saying this.
It was just midnight, and it was just around ten o'clock. A group of adults came out in the northernmost main hall. Li Zisheng saw that he was also in the line and was in front of him.
Although the old man at the front had white hair and beard, he was strong in spirit and could not tell that he was almost a hundred years old. This person was the dean of the Tieshan Academy, a real person in the innate realm of the heavenly realm of the heavenly realm. According to his seniority, he was the ancestor of Tiewanshan, Tie Jingyan.
However, except for the start of school, he doesn't easily appear after graduation. Now he is focused on entering the Qi Refining Period before he dies of old age. In fact, everyone knows that this is unlikely, but because of his high generation, no one dares to come out to criticize him.
Therefore, Zhou Cainan was able to take over the power of the college as the college assistant, that is, the director of the teaching and acting principal.
There is "Yan" in the name of Tie Jingyan, but he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't have the problem of ordinary elderly people talking about it. After all, he has to save time to improve energy, so he has no time to take care of his children.
The mascot said a few auspicious words, and then brought the Tie family members at the front to the hall to give the portrait of Tie Zhengmian, the second generation ancestor who founded this college, to worship the grand ceremony.
In fact, it is true that Tieshan Academy’s predecessor, Tiejia Private School, was established by Tie Zhengmian three hundred years ago. However, at that time, he just gathered the children of the clan and built a clan school, which was almost no different from the Li family school in Lishan Village.
The real Tieshan Academy where the boy is now is based on the hands of that "mascot" Tie Jingyan.
This world is really not fair. Some innate real people immediately lure their qi into their bodies as soon as they enter the heavenly realm and become Qi Refining Immortals. And this old man has no bad qualifications, and he has the cultivation level of the heavenly realm in his early thirties.
But after that, he practiced diligently in this sect for twenty years, but he still did not break through to refining Qi. He felt embarrassed until he stayed there, so he left the mountain gate to go home to "live his youth."
Since he was out, Tie Jingyan decided to walk around and relieve the depression in his heart slightly.
As a result, he found that new things like colleges appeared everywhere.
That is to say, in this Jiuzhou, the most primitive clan school with blood ties as the bond was gradually replaced by a college formed based on the regional scope. These students are no longer limited to recruiting children from the same clan and family, but also allowing children from other sects and families in the same place, and even ordinary children.
He is basically not a stupid man who can practice to achieve real people. Tie Jingyan visited several academies and even worked as a Taoist teacher for a while. He carefully studied this new way of education. When he returned to Tieshan City, he immediately discussed with the clan and expanded the clan's private school into Tieshan Academy.
In the next fifty years, he devoted himself to the academy. After all, this effort continued, Tieshan College became the leading teaching institution in Jingnan. Not to mention the common people, even those small sects wanted to send their descendants in.
Originally, this academy was not aimed at making profits, but mainly to cultivate rising stars to enrich the strength of the Tie family. But letting a group of sheep is also to drive, and letting two groups of sheep is also to drive. If you have money in front of you, why not make money?
As a result, a self-paid local class appeared.
Especially Mr. Tie, who is about to die in recent years, has spent all his thoughts on impacting Qi refining and almost left his hands alone. The Zhou University Office, who has average cultivation and is very profitable, took charge of the college's power.
Zhou Cainan's intention was to take good care of the children of the Tie family and earn Yuanshi. This year, students' tuition fees for 30 square Yuanshi per year and miscellaneous fees for 10 square Yuanshi, which is still open. The expenses in secret are not clear. On average, each student in a self-paid class will spend 70 to 80 square Yuanshi on campus every year.
You can't say that the parents of students will just take the "if you don't choose the best, you'll choose the expensive ones". If Tieshan College was not limited in scale and the number of self-paid classes was not enough, the number of people could have doubled.
Zhou Xueshuo is considering the expansion of the college during these days.
Li Zisheng mixed in the crowd and went to the palace to pay tribute. The young man was really uninterested in the fact that his ancestors were worshipped or others, so he bowed three times in a daze and retreated.
As a freshman in the Tianzi Class, he was honored to have lunch with Dean Tie Jingyan. Of course, it was not alone, but he finished the freshman banquet with nineteen other friends whom he didn't know yet.
Then the highlight of the admission ceremony of Xianxia World, that is, the qualification test.
In the world where you all viewers are located, those major countries have also taken or are following the evil path of class division according to "qualifications". In fact, it is used as a basis for allocating educational resources based on the IQ of the children entering school or the students' daily scores. Of course, this is really not "political correct", so our Celestial Empire canceled the fast and slow classes in the past few years.
This naked social Darwinist method is really criticized. In other words, America, which is a democratic beacon, dares to set up genius classes in public schools.
Of course, if we run fast and slow classes in the Celestial Empire, it will ignore human rights and destroy children's nature; if we run genius classes, it will teach students according to their aptitude and stimulate students' creativity.
However, testing students' "qualifications" in this world is really out of kindness, at least most of them are for students to choose practice methods to consider.
The nine sons of the dragon are different, and the same is true for humans. Everyone is actually a separate individual, and there are always subtle differences in the combination of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in the body. Some people practice water-based exercises to achieve rapid progress in a thousand miles a day; some people are born close to the power of fire and are good at controlling fire-based magic weapons; some people are better than Yin energy, and if they are asked to summon ghosts, they will only achieve half the result with twice the effort.
This has no reason to say, and it may not be completely in line with the "genetic laws". In the acquired realm of Qi Refining Period, these differences are actually not obvious, but when it reaches the innate realm, it begins to become important.
Of course, as an elite teaching like Tieshan Academy, you must develop a good foundation. Finding the most suitable exercises for students is also the first step in cultivating talents.
Another reason: this is a god, demon, and people have been living together for thousands of years, but there is still no "reproductive isolation". It is natural to have mixed races between the three. Humans do not accept these mixed races. Instead, the demon god feels that these "weak" descendants are not worthy of being their offspring and are often discriminatory.
As a result, most of these mixed-race children were mixed between humans. When they intermarried with humans, their bloodline became thinner. Not to mention the natal magical powers they had after birth, the obvious characteristics of gods and demons in their bodies gradually disappeared.
However, the descendants of these mixed-race children still have the bloodlines of ancient gods and demon gods. Although they are thin, as long as they are stimulated by special means, they are so-called ignorant qualifications compared to ordinary humans.
The last reason is the allocation of educational resources mentioned above. Resources are always relatively scarce, which is nothing to say. However, this is not considered as a mercy among scholars or discrimination against poor students. Children with the same qualifications are divided into a small class, and those with relatively close strengths can have healthy competition with each other as long as they guide properly.
At the same time, because the qualifications make the grades too wide, excellent children will become proud and complacent and may not be enterprising. Poor children may therefore feel inferior and may give up on themselves. Therefore, Tieshan College's practice can be regarded as a practice of "educational psychology".
Of course, Li Zisheng didn't know these things at this time. He was in the line of freshmen, staring at a tall and thin child with big eyes. The air between the two was very unfriendly.
PS: Yesterday's editor made Murong Xiao depressed. He had questions about the data of my work, and the implication was that I was browsing votes.
Because my point-to-push ratio is 3:1!
I am ashamed that Murong didn’t care about this at first, so after hearing this, I went to visit other people’s book review areas... Only then did I realize that everyone is so powerful!
So... Murong hopes that everyone can give me a little more strength so that I can say to others with confidence:
I never need to brush it.
A lot of hard work.
Why do you want to go against the will of heaven?
Murong Book Friend is the most awesome.
Thank you again for recommending to Murong.
Chapter completed!
