Global Awakening: Only I Know Future Information-Chapter 305 - 229: Trial Selection, Reunion with an Old Friend, and Settling Karma
Taishan Trial Institute.
The initial purpose of its establishment was that the authorities wanted to gather some elites.
These elites were selected from the Zhen Dan Academy in each of the five super cities.
As long as you are outstanding enough, you can enter and receive more resource-focused training.
Figures like Zhu Qingyu and Pure Yang Little Celestial Master were initially from the Trial Institute.
But with the establishment of the heavenly court.
The Trial Institute.
Also became a reserve base for the heavenly court staff.
Completing the trials of the Trial Institute gives one a chance to enter the heavenly court.
Whether a student or someone from the outside world, all can be chosen.
However, such people are rare.
Just like the Trial Institute, there are tens of thousands of students.
But those who can join the heavenly court are very few.
Not long ago.
Students received the news that thirty-six people will be selected to enter the heavenly court.
The strength can be weak, but the potential must be sufficient, as personally instructed by King Lu.
As a result, many students enthusiastically signed up.
After a few days of selection.
Over three thousand were qualified for the next round of tests, personally led by Elder Ji and Zhu Qingyu.
Of course, as the number of qualified individuals decreases, the competition naturally becomes more intense.
Every day, a large number of students are eliminated.
For this.
Many students are giving it their all to stand until the end.
On this day, the trials in the Institute’s square continued as usual, with nine hundred people competing for one hundred spots, meaning that eight out of every nine people would be eliminated, making the students on the square extremely tense.
"Chen Song, we heard that back in the old days, you were King Lu’s college classmate."
"Actually, you could approach the authorities and explain this connection."
In the crowd, a student spoke with a smile on his face.
Beside him was a young man.
He appeared somewhat shy, with very ordinary looks; he was Chen Song.
Back then, after listening to Lu Yuan, he returned to his hometown and found some Spirit Fruit and Exotic Herbs.
Not only did he cure his father’s illness, but he also became an Awakened. After a few years, he reached the Shackles Realm.
He eventually managed to enter both the Zhen Dan Academy and the Trial Institute.
Of course.
In the new era.
Chen Song is still quite ordinary.
"This... isn’t this inappropriate?" Hearing his classmate’s words, he was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.
"What’s inappropriate? To reach this point with your strength is already quite hard; today’s test might have a high chance of you getting eliminated." Another person spoke, continuing, "Can it be that you and King Lu were not actually classmates?"
Hearing this, others also turned their heads with strange expressions on their faces.
There haven’t been many who were classmates with King Lu.
The most famous one.
Was the Zhou Family’s lady, Zhou Yunqiong.
And the relationship between Chen Song and Lu Yuan was something some people discovered by chance.
Initially, everyone was very interested, constantly inquiring about making contact.
They all wanted to get close to the invincible King Lu.
But Chen Song was very low-key and honest, always refusing.
Over time.
The classmates in the Trial Institute began to doubt.
"I... I..." Chen Song didn’t know what to say, his face a bit embarrassed.
He did have a connection with Lu Yuan, but it wasn’t very close, nor was their contact long.
In this situation, he naturally didn’t want to do anything borrowing the other’s name, hearing such words from his classmate, he didn’t argue anything.
In his heart, the gap between himself and Lu Yuan was too large, especially in the new era, which was like the difference between celestial beings and mere mortals.
So it didn’t take long for Chen Song to rectify his attitude, if he could make it to the end, he would continue onward.
If not, it didn’t matter; he would continue to train and evolve.
Soon.
The test commenced again.
It was straightforward: a simple battle, also testing strength and willpower.
As for the aspect of bloodline, the requirement was not very high; as long as it was decent, it was fine.
On the high platform, Zhu Qingyu and Ice Fairy watched everything.
Elder Ji and the other high officials were seated behind.
The individuals personally instructed by King Lu to select, naturally, required care.
"Those who have made it this far are actually quite excellent, but unfortunately, only thirty-six are needed."
Ice Fairy looked at the students on the field, couldn’t help but sigh. She stood there not because she was extraordinarily excellent, but because she had resources in the old era, which made her step ahead of others.
Hearing this, Zhu Qingyu nodded beside her, but didn’t say much.
There was no way; the selection needed thirty-six people,
so that was the way it was.
Cruel, but it was also reality.
Just like when the Outer Realm fully descends in the future,
they won’t care what you do; strength is everything.
In the future, the heavenly court is the main force to deal with the Outer Realm Creatures, it must have enough strength.
Gradually, as time went by, the number of eliminated individuals increased.
But just in the middle of the test.
Those high up on the platform such as Elder Ji suddenly stood up, and the students all turned to look in the same direction with excited eyes.
Some even couldn’t stop trembling, with expressions of utmost reverence on their faces.
It was a feeling reserved for seeing a true strong person, someone who was truly respected.
There, Lu Yuan slowly walked over, his expression calm.
He had been practicing in recent days.
But he didn’t gain much.
Soon, just came out for a walk, incidentally knowing about the selection of his needed thirty-six Celestial Generals, so he came to have a look.
"King Lu." Elder Ji and others promptly greeted him, continuing, "In approximately a few days, the people you need can be chosen."
"Mm, you’ve worked hard." Lu Yuan smiled, signaled for the selection to continue, and after watching for a while, didn’t stay long, planning to go to Jade Emperor Peak to meet with the Golden-winged Roc, as he needed to pass on some instructions.
However, just as he was about to leave, he noticed a familiar face among the crowd.
It was Chen Song.
His college classmate.
Actually, this was nothing significant, the key was back then.
He spent five hundred thousand to obtain the green bronze tripod from him.
The green bronze tripod had played a major role in his path of evolution.
Without it, places like Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and Shennong Altar would remain inaccessible.
Originally.
Lu Yuan also planned, once the situation stabilized completely, to find him and if need be, offer help.
Never thought, they would meet directly at the Trial Institute.
This karma.
Should be repaid.
"King Lu, that is your classmate, right?" At this moment, Elder Ji also noticed Lu Yuan’s gaze, continued, "We know this connection, so we specially recruited him into the Trial Institute back then. This time, should we directly let him be one of the thirty-six?"
After Lu Yuan rose to fame, the high-level individuals were highly attentive, naturally learning about some connections.
"No need, since it’s a selection, it should be fair."
He shook his head, and directly intervening would not be proper.
He could use other means.
Immediately, after whispering a few words to him, he left straight away.
And Elder Ji went to Zhu Qingyu to relay the message.
Zhu Qingyu nodded.
Walked to the front, signaling all the testing participants to stop once again.
The students were puzzled, wondering if King Lu had other instructions.
"Chen Song, is it possible that King Lu noticed you and wants you to pass the test directly?" Someone spoke.
Others also cast their gazes, smiling, but not taking it seriously, just thinking it was a joke.
Chen Song didn’t speak, but in his heart, he felt slightly disappointed.
This was the closest he had ever been to Lu Yuan.
But just at that moment.
Zhu Qingyu spoke, his voice serene: "Would the person named Chen Song among the crowd, please step forward, as King Lu just instructed that you can enter the heavenly court directly without taking one of the thirty-six slots, and he wishes to speak with you alone."
