Chapter 921: At the end of the world

After Tao Nian's explanation, Cheng Hao also roughly figured out what the rules of selection of Tianlu Academy are.
The selection of people only from the recommended list of big families once every three years is actually far more complicated than this. Not only does it have a preliminary qualification test, but also a later elimination competition. In the end, it is necessary to go to the college headquarters for the final competition. The list can be decided only by contest.
But the big challenge once in nine years is different.
First of all, there are too many people to participate in the selection. The initial screening alone will consume a lot of time. Therefore, the number of places to enter the college is actually fixed. There are more daoists and fewer daoists. .
For example, on their Quyang Road, even if it is a medium-to-large road, it has a large population and a large area, so it can have 12 places.
If it is in a smaller road, then the quota is only three or five people.
Cheng Hao understood a little, and nodded slightly.
As a result, the knockout round ended sooner than Cheng Hao expected, because the venue is really large enough to allow everyone to compete at the same time, and half of the people can be eliminated at a time, not a few times, less than a day. Within time, it turned out that the final list of four had already been decided.
It's a pity that Fang Rusong didn't make it into the selection list. She was also a bit unlucky, just hitting the year of the big challenge once every nine years. Otherwise, her chance of passing is still very high if there are only aristocratic children.
However, Pu Yang Jing entered the final list smoothly in Cheng Hao's expectation.
Cheng Hao always felt that she seemed to be hiding her strength, but now that she saw it, it really was.
This Pu Yang Jing was at least a junior martial emperor like Cheng Hao, but she didn't know what purpose she used to hide his strength, and this suppressed her power at the level of the intermediate martial king.
But even if she suppresses power, just relying on her understanding of power and using her advantage is enough to make her stand out.
The next day was a rest time, and then Cheng Hao and others followed Bai Yiguo and others on the road to enter Tianlu Academy.
Tianlu Academy was not built in the heart of Hua Yuzong's paradise on earth, but was located in the very remote northwest corner of Hua Yuzong, at the foot of Tianlu Mountain in Hanlingdao.
The Hanling Road is located in the entire Huayu Sect, or the most northwestern part of the entire human world. If you cross the Hanling Road and go west, you will hit a boundary isolation area that you cannot cross.
In fact, the entire human world is isolated by a huge boundary isolation area. The so-called boundary gully, that is, Bai Yujing, is the place with the weakest isolation effect in this isolation area, and it is still possible to pass through. .
But apart from Bai Yujing, the other isolation areas are the real moats that cannot be crossed.
Let alone an ordinary warrior, even Cheng Hao ten thousand years ago could not pass through these isolated areas at all, because behind them there was nothing but eternal void at all...
Therefore, in fact, Tianlu Academy is built on the edge of the real life forbidden zone, and it is also the last not-so-large mountain range in the western part of the human world, at the foot of Tianlu Mountain.
The entire Hanling Road is sparsely populated, and there are no counties or counties. Most of them are sparsely isolated natural villages.
The local people are basically in the primitive state of slash and burn, which is no different from the ten thousand years ago when Cheng Hao lived.
And near Tianlu Mountain where Tianlu Academy is located, there is a town with academy as its core, and its name is Tianlu City.
This Tianlu City is actually a town built around the academy to serve the students of the academy. There are almost no fields around, and most of the food must be supplied from outside.
Mainly operate some poetry clubs, chess clubs, wine shops and tea houses.
Of course, there are also some brothel gambling houses. After all, the students of Tianlu Academy are not strictly controlled. The college itself will not interfere with what kind of pastime they usually like.
Then there are countless material shops, treasure shops and even pill shops in Tianlu City.
Some of the things here are good things created under the supervision of the three major refining master families of Hua Yuzong, and many of them are mixed goods from Hua Yuzong or even Hua Yuzong accidentally.
However, it is precisely because of this that the good and the bad are mixed, the selection of items depends entirely on their own eyesight, but it has attracted the attention of many Tianlu students.
Even a lot of warriors outside will come to join in the fun, see if they can get lucky and get some good things back.
In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of gambling. Human nature is like this.
Cheng Hao and the others had already heard Bai Yiguo's seniors and sisters talk about the situation of Tianlu Academy and Tianlu City on the road, so they couldn’t help being very curious when they arrived at Tianlu City. Looking around.
This Tianlu City has no walls and moats at all, and even a defensive formation is missing, or there is actually, but it is not displayed.
In short, it is a completely open attitude, which makes many people curious.
However, it is reasonable to think about it. After all, Tianlu Academy is the largest college of Huayuzong. Who would dare to come here to make trouble with eight heads?
You don't have to think too much about defense or something.
When Cheng Hao and others came to Tianlu College, they were catching up with the weather and entering the midsummer, and the temperature here was also scary.
Although there is a cold word in the name of this cold spirit road, it is actually a huge deserted and terrifying Gobi, and even a green plant can not be seen on the flight for a long time, showing its desolation.
But it is precisely because of the landforms of the Gobi that there are only two seasons in this cold spirit road a year, namely summer and winter.
It is said that cold can freeze people alive in winter, and people who are hot in summer almost want to tear off their skin!
It is such an extremely harsh climate, but it is precisely because of this that the students' temperament can be tempered to the utmost extent, which is probably a painstaking effort of Hua Yuzong.
Obviously, Hua Yuzong considered far more than the little fairy sect like Lingtaizong Luoxiazong. They did not lie on the glory of their ancestors and gradually decayed, but instead attached great importance to the cultivation of the next generation of disciples.
Even the third-year students like Bai Yiguo already have very good actual combat experience.
When Cheng Hao and others walked through the entire Tianlu City, only then could they see the college built on the half-hills of the bare Tianlu Mountain.
Compared with the Lingtai Sect, which stands high in the clouds, Tianlu Academy is a bit shabby...
