Chapter 21 Exam Begins

October 25, 1005, Innovation Era, Aoshan Taoist College.

Unlike Earth, all entrance and graduation exams in this world are scheduled in the fall, usually from October to November.

This time was set by Taizu of this dynasty, because this decision was in line with the ancient tradition of "Autumn Wei". Many Confucian disciples praised him, thinking that although he did many things that were not in line with Confucian tradition, this matter

Still right.

However, after later archives were decrypted, people discovered that the reason why Emperor Taizu set the graduation exam in autumn was simply because he felt that the weather in autumn was good and neither cold nor hot would be suitable for his performance.

According to the "Secret History of Taizu" circulated among the people, his guards once revealed that Taizu himself even complained: I don't know who the bastard thought of putting the exam in the summer? I've had enough!

However, the official did not agree with this. They explained: In Taizu's time, no school had summer exams, so Taizu's original words must have been fabricated.

No matter what the truth is, most students in Daxia are grateful for this regulation. At least they don't have to take the risk of heatstroke in exams.

No one likes to brave the sweltering heat to do mental work, not even monks.

In order to prevent accidents, the examination room is set up in a "learning cave" in the school.

As a top-notch institution, Aoshan Taoist Academy has quite enviable resources, including three in Dongtian alone.

A "Ten Thousand Spirits Cave" linked to the "Wild of All Beasts" in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" is mainly used to equip students with spiritual pets and catch experimental objects;

The "Hunting War Cave" that is linked to the "Asura Realm" is mainly used for actual combat drills and is also the production site of experimental products;

Another place is the "Yangxue Cave" separated from the "Penglai Realm". This cave is full of spiritual energy and is the main teaching area of ​​the college.

That's right, only the offices, accommodation and other parts of Aoshan Taoist Temple are located in the human world, while a large part of the teaching area, experimental area and cultivation area are in the "Study Cave".

At this time, the gate of Dongtian was already filled with candidates waiting to enter.

The secular celebrities who came to act as spectators were also waiting nearby. This was a rare opportunity for them to enter the Taoist temple, so they looked around curiously while observing the students, whispering to each other from time to time.

Many of these celebrities are senior executives of major institutions, and Ying Lina's father is also among them. They are also looking for talents for their own family.

Candidates from the twelve departments lined up with their own semi-finished products. At this time, you can clearly see the number of people in each department.

The prediction department has the smallest number of students, less than fifty. The students in this department all have one thing in common, they all wear glasses, and the whole school can see their "sparkling" square array.

Followed by the Formation Department and the Conjuration Department, the number of people are all over a hundred. The Sword Cultivator and Physical Cultivator Departments have the largest number of people. They stood in two large square formations and looked very energetic. Those from the other departments

The number of people is between one hundred and two hundred.

When students get together, it is natural to discuss the graduation exam period.

Some students asked: "This is the last exam, why haven't the scores from the first four exams been released yet?"

An insider immediately responded: "The scores have come out early, but they haven't been made public yet. This is always the case in our school. The scores of the first four games are announced together at the end."

The graduation examination of the Taoist College is divided into six sessions. The first session is the cultural knowledge examination, which tests public knowledge subjects such as language, mathematics, history, geography, and biology, politics, ethics, and society. These courses are not much different from those in secular universities.

The second session is the extraordinary knowledge examination, which includes theoretical knowledge on cultivation, magic, gods, extraordinary powers, extraordinary creatures, heavenly planes, demons and ghosts, etc., as well as professional courses unique to each department.

The third session is the graduation thesis and defense. The thesis topics are naturally related to the extraordinary research and cultivation of their respective majors.

The first three exams are written tests on theoretical knowledge in various subjects, and the fourth exam "Spell Application and Identification" is a practical test, which tests the students' spell casting ability, spell identification and countermeasures, etc.

The results of the first three games have not been made public yet, but I still know the general situation.

For top academics, the scores in the theoretical exams are very different, and it is the last three practical exercises that boost the scores.

"Spell Application and Identification" is naturally Fa Xiu's strength, and Su Lei is quite confident in taking the first place.

He can say without humility: "No one in the entire grade knows magic better than me"...

In the fifth "Finding and Contracting Spiritual Pets and Wilderness Survival" exam, he relied on Xiu Xue to get the first place with a far ahead result. Now it seems that even if he failed in the last exam, his score will still be in the first group. As long as

If you perform a little normally, your first place result this year will be solid.

But his request goes beyond that. To get the highest "SSS" rating, this game must be a big hit to be sure.

Qiao Qiao next door sent a text message: Su Lei, I heard that your Conjuration Department is planning to have a group project for all members this time?

Su Lei replied: That's right.

Qiao Qiao: Oh, it seems you are really going to use your big move this time! The weapon refining department is also preparing to hold back your big move. This time you are facing a head-on confrontation...

Su Lei: I know, they were planning it last year. It’s just a cricket cub, what’s so scary about it?

Qiao Qiao: If you want to win, then I will watch you fight.

Since it is a collective project involving the whole department, it is definitely impossible to keep it completely secret. All the teachers and students in the school know that the spells and weapon refining have chosen to suppress the ultimate move this time.

However, the curse system is generally not optimistic. Even if Su Lei stole the show in the previous game, it cannot hide the fact that the weapon refining department is more professional. Since it is a group project, it must depend on the overall strength.

Your spellcasting skills in the Conjuration department are very important, but as for making weapons, it's still worth considering.

According to the examination rules, the minimum number of participants for collective collaboration is three, and there is no limit to more.

As we all know, the more participants, the more difficult it is to execute a production plan, but the weighting coefficient of the score is also higher. So once this kind of thing is done well, the score will be very high. But once it is messed up, all participants will fail the course.

Already.

Therefore, even if there is a group project, it is a small team formed by a few students who trust each other and work well with each other. Such a plan for the entire department to work on collectively, except for the weapon refining department that specializes in this, there are very few other departments.

Dare to play such a large group project.

After all, if you fail, you will fail the entire department.

"The candidates are ready to enter..." At this time, a teacher came out of the gate.

The candidates lined up in an orderly manner, followed by the worldly celebrities who came to visit.

The examination room is a large square, and each department occupies a piece of land. At this time, each student has a talisman making table and a medicine making table in front of him. After the students are all in place, they start to check whether these things are intact and normal.

Taking advantage of this time, the onlookers also took their seats.

After the students finished their work, the dean didn't say much nonsense and directly announced the start of the exam:

"The 1005-level 'Making and Dispensing' exam is your last exam in this school. This exam is divided into three sections. The first section is making talismans, which takes one and a half hours. The second section is preparing medicines, which takes one and a half hours.

hours. There will be a two-hour break at noon, and the third section will be conducted in the afternoon for four hours. I hope you do well in the exam, start now!"

Su Lei immediately picked up the blank chip on the workbench, placed it on the seal engraving machine, and started operating it easily.

Drawing talismans is a basic skill for monks, and modern monks are no exception. Although the carrier has changed from talisman paper to chips, and the carving tools have changed from brushes to engravers, they still remain true to their origins.

Talismans are divided into two categories: divine talismans and Taoist talismans.

As the name suggests, the talisman is related to the gods. This thing can only be used by holding it on the thigh. Without the permission of the corresponding god, even if the drawn talisman is perfect, it cannot be used.

Dao Talisman truly relies on its own ability. It draws spell models onto talisman paper and other carriers, thereby communicating with the laws of the universe and displaying various extraordinary effects.

There is actually a fundamental difference between the two kinds of talismans. The drawing of the talisman is relatively casual. It is equivalent to a report to the boss and a letter of application. As long as the name of the boss is correct and the content is clearly stated, it will be fine. Of course, each level of talisman has its own grade.

Require.

The drawing of Taoist symbols needs to be as accurate as possible. The spell model is basically a three-dimensional configuration representation. It is quite difficult to project it into a two-dimensional configuration representation, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Because the requirements for drawing Taoist talismans are high and the effect is not good, and the ancient tools are not good enough, it has not been mainstream in ancient times. It is basically the world of divine talismans.

It wasn't until this time that spiritual energy revived and a genius invented a three-dimensional talisman-making method that allowed talismans to accurately express three-dimensional spell models. Tao talismans began to shine, breaking the monopoly of divine talismans in one fell swoop and quickly replacing them as the mainstream talisman in modern times.

There is no way, the talisman needs the permission and authorization of the gods to be effective. Because it is borrowed from divine power, and other people's divine power is not blown by the wind, except for the witches who truly serve the gods, it is difficult for other monks to obtain the permission of the gods.

Of course, the ones produced for this exam are all Taoist talismans, otherwise everyone would have to watch the performance of the Wu Zhu family.

The materials for making chips are various gemstones, and there are suitable materials for different spells. However, mutton-fat white jade and crystal are the most popular materials. The former has good adaptability and is suitable for almost all spells, while the latter is transparent and easy to engrave.

operate.

The blank chips provided by the school this time are made of these two materials.

The exam requirement is to make three different magic storage chips. There is no level requirement. If you want to be awesome, you can make a fifth-grade or even fourth-grade talisman. If you are not good at it, you can just make it as a miscellaneous talisman, or you don’t have to do it.

Pass the course directly.

With the level of graduates from Aoshan Taoist Academy, making ninth-grade talismans is as reliable as a dog, and the success rate of outstanding academic masters in making eighth-grade talismans is not small. As for Su Lei, he has nine times in making eighth-grade talismans.

success rate.

But today Su Lei is no longer satisfied with the eighth-grade talisman. The main reason is that there are too many monsters in this session, and the eighth-grade talisman can no longer stabilize the entire audience.
Chapter completed!
