Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 120 Chief of Seventh Academy
Accompanied by Mo Shuyu and others, Zhong Cang arrived on time, which meant that the preliminaries of Xuehu Taoist Academy began not long after he arrived at the competition venue.

The first thing to be conducted is naturally the assessment of the first-year students.

Since the purpose of this preliminary competition is to select a seed genius to compete with the disciples of the major sects, the method of this assessment is different from the Hundred Days Assessment... and the number of participants is also different.

The formal examination will be held in a few days. On that day, the goal of most students is to pass the exam and stay in the Taoist academy. Therefore, everyone must participate in the examination that day.

But today, the players selected are the seeded players, the prodigies, which means that most people can just watch and do not need to participate.

Also, because Shuang Lingxue and Qi Wei in the first grade are on Zhong Cang's side, they occupy half of the first-class spiritual roots, and the two will not fight against Zhong Cang, which makes Zhong Cang's assessment easier and simpler.

The Artifacts Academy, the Alchemy Academy, the Talisman and Formation Academy, the Formation Academy, the Law Cultivation Academy, the Sword Cultivation Academy, the Physical Cultivation Academy, the Spiritual Plant Academy... Among the eight academies, Zhong Cang from the Spiritual Plant Academy just stood up, and no one dared to challenge him. In this way, he became the number one in the Spiritual Plant Academy.

The same is true for the Formation Court, no one dares to challenge Zhong Cang.

In the Dandao Academy, the top student of the first grade is a descendant of an aristocratic family, but he is from a side branch, and more specifically the Feng family. As soon as he stepped onto the fighting stage, Feng Yingying glanced at him, and some words were blown by the wind and carried into his ears.

Although he didn't know what Feng Yingying said, after the man stepped onto the fighting stage, he hesitated for three breaths, then bowed to Zhong Cang in defeat and jumped down.

This scene made Dan Zhuhe, who was watching, look even more gloomy. However, he was just a teacher in Xuehu Taoist Academy, and the children of aristocratic families could do well without the Taoist Academy. On the contrary, if they aroused the disgust of the direct descendants of the family, they would be unable to move forward.

This made Dan Zhuhe angry, but because of the lack of deterrence, he could only watch the man jump down.

In this way, Zhong Cang also won the top position in the first grade of Dandao Academy.

The chief of the Law Academy was Shuang Lingxue. She smiled at Zhong Cang and admitted defeat directly.

The chief of the Kendo Academy is also Shuang Lingxue... After ordinary students enter the academy, it is naturally extremely difficult to practice concurrently or change their major.

But Shuang Lingxue is not ordinary. Many people want to make friends with her. Even now, the deans of various colleges are only targeting Zhong Cang and dare not target Shuang Lingxue openly. This makes her holding the position concurrently without any problems.

Just like that, Zhong Cang didn't even make a move, and among the eight academies, the five academies of Alchemy, Magic, Sword, Array, and Lingzhifu surrendered directly without even a whistle.

This also made the first-year students feel Zhong Cang's power.

The chief talisman cultivator who came later, although he was a descendant of a prominent family and not from the Shuang or Feng families, as a descendant of a small family living in Xuehu City, he did not dare to offend Shuang Lingxue and Feng Yingying.

Under the gentle and elegant gaze of Shuang Lingxue and the sneering gaze of Feng Yingying, he also voted.

"Since so many colleges have applied, one more of me is nothing."

At this point, Zhong Cang became the chief of the six academies. In the end, only the Institute of Instruments and the Institute of Physical Training had not given up.

Well, this is also related to the fact that Chang Quan is the chief of the Institute of Instruments and the Institute of Physical Training.

The person he had admired since childhood surrounded Zhong Cang every day, and people who had a good relationship with him and had the hope of becoming his Taoist partner also surrounded Zhong Cang. This made Chang Quan deeply dissatisfied with Zhong Cang.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to surrender like others.

Then, he was defeated by Qi Wei in a frustrating way.

He is from the Institute of Artifacts, and so is Qi Wei.

The reason why he became the chief was because Qi Wei put all her attention on Zhong Cang and rarely went to the Institute of Artifacts.

But, just because she didn’t go, it doesn’t mean that her abilities have declined.

Mo Shuyu specially invited Teacher Gu Yan, who was much more capable than the current dean of the Institute of Artifacts. After City Lord Qi knew about Gu Yan's arrival, he specially invited him to a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion. After that day, when Gu Yan taught Zhong Cang, he would also guide Qi Wei.

As a master of refining, his occasional guidance can greatly help Qi Wei improve her abilities.

Not to mention, Qi Wei also has Zhong Cang as her "plug-in".

Whether it is the lingering sound of Taoism or the transmission of refining concepts, Qi Wei's refining ability has been further improved.

In this situation, when she found out that Chang Quan was dissatisfied and wanted to challenge her, she naturally jumped out first.

"Why is it you? Where's Zhong Cang? He doesn't dare to come up and can only hide behind a woman!"

Qi Wei: "Hmph, to deal with you, why would Brother Zhong Cang take action? I am enough!"

"you……"

Qi Wei's wholehearted devotion to Zhong Cang made Chang Quan even more angry and aggrieved.

Then, in anger and frustration, he lost to Qi Wei in the weapon refining duel.

It was a horrible defeat. "How could you be so strong?"

Chang Quan didn't understand, and Qi Wei simply ignored what he meant.

At this point, seven of the eight academies of Xuehu Taoist Academy were in the hands of Zhong Cang, and only the Physical Training Academy was still struggling.

Well, Chang Quan is still the chief of the Physical Education Academy.

"Zhong Cang, you can't hide this time!"

He wanted to fight Zhong Cang no matter what, but he was relieved to find that no one could help him this time.

At the same time, he believed that he had a grudge against Zhong Cang for stealing his wife, so he mustered up all his energy and wanted to fight Zhong Cang with all his might.

In order to win, he was even prepared to use forbidden techniques to unleash his potential.

"Come and fight!"

He roared angrily, with high morale.

And Zhong Cang also stepped onto the martial arts field for the first time.

"Although this is somewhat meaningless, I still want to say that I have no intention of avoiding a fight. The previous battles simply didn't require me to intervene."

As he finished speaking, Zhong Cang just walked onto the stage and stood opposite Chang Quan.

His appearance also made the entire martial arts arena silent for a moment, but then endless discussions began to sound around.

"Hey, what do you think? Can Zhong Cang win?"

"I think he should be able to. He's not particularly good-looking... well, he's quite handsome, but not to the point of being earth-shatteringly handsome. For someone like him to be valued by Shuang Lingxue, Qi Wei, and Feng Yingying, he must have some abilities."

"I think so too. A person without ability cannot win the affections of three noble ladies from prominent families."

Some people are optimistic about Zhong Cang, but others hold different opinions.

Of course, they are not just mocking or scolding randomly, but they have their own reasons.

"Don't be so optimistic. I admit that Zhong Cang is extremely talented, but he is a human, not a god, let alone an immortal. As long as he is human, his energy is limited. He cannot be perfect, and there are things he cannot do."

As soon as he said this, someone immediately understood what he was thinking.

"You mean, Zhong Cang is not strong in physical cultivation?"

"This is inevitable. Zhong Cang's major is spiritual plant cultivation, and he is undoubtedly the best in this area... No, he was able to research the Green Seedling No. 1 grain variety. In this regard, he is already at the level of a sage. Alchemy requires understanding the properties of medicines, and medicinal properties belong to the category of plants. With this foundation, he will definitely be very strong in alchemy."

"Wood is part of the Dharma. By learning from the Way of Trees, he should be quite capable of practicing Dharma."

"As for his cultivation in the art of formations, he has a good teacher, so his cultivation in this area is likely to be quite good."

"Spiritual plants, alchemy, magic cultivation, formations... I admit that he is very strong in these four areas, but I think that he is only strong in these four areas."

"After all, one only has a hundred days to cultivate. Within a hundred days, it's already a great achievement to cultivate the four areas that are most closely related to oneself. Then, to delve into other areas..."

The man didn't say the rest, but everyone who heard his analysis vaguely agreed with his opinion.

Even those who have the most confidence in Zhong Cang do not think that Zhong Cang is perfect.

Some people even feel that looking at Zhong Cang like this is no longer respect, but flattery.

"Specializing in four areas is already quite a lot."

"It's indeed quite a lot. If he cultivates these four areas, he will definitely become a strong person. On the contrary, if he is flattered and then studies other things, he will probably become mediocre due to lack of time and energy."

"Wait, now is not the time to talk about this. If Zhong Cang's physical cultivation is not strong, he might fail in this battle. Chang Quan is a member of the city defense army and comes from a family of physical cultivation!"

"There's no way... He shouldn't be taking part in the physical training assessment."

"Alas, he's still too young and impulsive. He hasn't learned these things and won't participate in the assessment, so no one can say anything. If he goes up now, he will only bring shame upon himself."
