The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 43 A, B, C and D
Is it snowing?

Not under.

But in front of everyone's eyes, it was like snowflakes suddenly falling.

The snowflakes were right in the area where Li Hao was, within three feet of the sword's tip.

Every snowflake is filled with chill, refracted by the sword light, just like the name of the sword technique, falling snow.

The level is, the true state...

In front of Li Hao, the burly young man's pupils shrank rapidly and he stood there in a daze.

The countless snowflakes in his sight were like a storm, extremely violent, but the storm was held in the hands of the young man, as if he held the power of heaven and earth!
The biting cold did not reach him, only... a wisp of snowflakes gradually rolled out from the storm, floating lightly and brushing across his cheek.

Slightly cool.

The burly young man subconsciously reached out and touched it, feeling some pain, but no blood.

His eyes were frozen, his body was tense, and he held the sword in his hand like a brave swordsman, but his arms were shaking and he did not move.

Soon, as if in the blink of an eye, the snowflakes that seemed like an illusion in the sky disappeared.

Li Hao casually threw the sword back onto the weapon rack, and it slid diagonally into the scabbard. As the hilt closed with a clang, it was like breaking ice. The burly young man woke up as if from a dream, his body trembled, and everyone present also woke up in shock.

Just now, everyone seemed to be in a dream.

But is it really a dream?

The scene became eerily quiet.

Until Li Hao's smiling voice interrupted and asked: "Now, can I be considered to have passed?"

The burly young man came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and said with a tongue-tied expression: "You, you win."

There was no fight because he was no match for his opponent. He didn't even have the courage to draw his sword and was completely defeated.

The other Tan Palace students nearby were looking at Li Hao in shock. They thought that Li Yuanzhao was already extremely brave, but they didn't expect that there was someone even more exaggerated.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?
First of all, it must be of top-notch quality, even reaching the level of perfection!

No wonder they think so. Although the Luoxue swordsmanship is of the highest quality, under the power of the true state, even the top-grade perfect swordsmanship is slightly inferior...

"What a wonderful swordsmanship!"

"Oh my god, it's like I'm hallucinating. I just saw snowflakes!"

"Me too, this is too much!"

"The swordsmanship in the Godly General's Mansion must be top-notch. Could it be that he has practiced it to perfection? How long would it take?!"

Everyone came to their senses and looked at Li Hao in shock.

I have heard of the great name of the Divine General's Mansion for a long time, and today I was completely eye-opening.

Si Xiaolan stared at Li Hao in a daze. With such superb swordsmanship, there was no doubt that Li Hao was qualified to pass the first two tests based on his own abilities.

These are the peers of the God General Family? They are all monsters?!

"Brother Hao!"

Beside him, Li Yuanzhao was even more excited. He did not expect that Li Hao's swordsmanship was so advanced. Naturally, his vision was a few points higher than those children from aristocratic families. He recognized that this was the Luoxue swordsmanship that Sister Xueer had performed.

But the level that Li Hao displayed was obviously beyond Sister Xueer's level back then. He even felt that it exceeded the realm of perfection.

Li Hao smiled at the excited Yuan Zhao and said nothing.

I just feel a little bit of nostalgia in my heart. I wonder what level the little girl in the sword hut has reached in her sword skills now.

Recalling the time when he taught her sword skills in the courtyard, a smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly restrained his mind and said to the burly young man in front of him:

"So...what do we do next?"

"Ah? Oh oh... just go straight this way, there's a gentleman waiting for you there."

The burly young man replied quickly, a look of awe in his eyes.

The starting point of the royal family is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

Li Hao nodded, and led Li Yuanzhao around the burly young man, walking along the small path and steps in front, step by step, carelessly.

Behind them, everyone looked at the two men's backs disappearing before they came to their senses.

At this time, someone suddenly thought of a question:
"Why do they have invitations? Could it be because their abilities do not need to be assessed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others suddenly realized what was happening and fell silent.

Previously they all thought that it was because of the prominent family background of the Godly General's Mansion that they felt a little resentful, but now they have let it go.

Si Xiaolan's pretty face changed slightly and she bit her lips lightly, knowing that she had misunderstood the other person.

The Tan Gong Academy has been standing for hundreds of years. How could it be a place to seek fame and reputation? How could it use any means to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy?

……

...Inside the mountain of Tangong Academy, on a large stone tablet square.

There are many young figures gathered here, staring at the stone tablet in the square and trying to comprehend the skills written on it.

At the edge of the square, there were two old men sitting in a corner, setting up a chess board and playing a game.

"oops!"

Suddenly, one of the short and fat old men who was deep in thought seemed to suddenly think of something and slapped his thigh: "I almost forgot that there are still two invitations that I haven't received yet."

"You mean the God General's Mansion?"

The grey-robed old man on the opposite side raised his head and said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be a big deal. The little fellow from the God General's Mansion can easily pass the test. He can come over even if you don't accept it."

"If it was anything else, it would be fine, but have you forgotten that the child of Xing Wuhou is a waste of cultivation and can only cultivate the body? It was a hot topic about ten years ago, but now it has become quiet."

The short and fat old man stood up hastily and said, "If he falls off the second level and dies, we will be in big trouble!"

“This…” The grey-robed old man was also frightened. After all, he was the only son of Xing Wuhou. He hurriedly said, “Then you go quickly.”

The short and fat old man nodded, and then he whistled. A gust of wind was heard, and a large bird with a wingspan of seventy or eighty feet came rushing over from a distance, attracting many young figures in front of the stone tablet next to it to look up and pay attention. The large bird slowly landed in front of the old man.

"I'll wait for you..." said the old man in gray robe.

Watching his old friend fly away, his chess mood was disturbed and he couldn't help but mutter: "If I had known this would happen, I would have sent five invitations instead of multiple pendants."

As he spoke, he looked down at the chessboard.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, and he cursed angrily: "You bastard, if you want to lose, just run away!"

……

The short and fat old man was called Shen Yunqing, but in fact he was not light at all. He rode the magic bird and flew towards the second level.

In addition to escaping the game, he was also worried about the situation in the second level. He hoped that Old Tang there knew about the child's situation and sent him over the cliff.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze and saw two figures walking together on the mountain path below him. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked extraordinary.

And the pattern on that clothing was very familiar to him; it belonged to the Li family of the Divine General's Mansion!

"Ok?"

Shen Yunqing was surprised and immediately dismounted his mount.

Bird calls and strong winds came from overhead. Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao both stopped and looked up. They saw a huge demon bird with three eyes landing in front of them several feet above the ground.

A short old man was sitting on the back of the bird. He stretched his head to look at the two of them. He seemed to have found something to confirm their identities. He immediately smiled and jumped off the bird's back.

He waved his hand, letting the demon bird fly away, and then said to the two with a smile: "You two must be the young masters of the God General's Mansion, right? I wonder which courtyard you are from, and what's your name?"

Seeing the other party being so polite, Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao were not too surprised. After all, their backgrounds were so prominent that ordinary people were very gentle and polite when they saw them, even celebrities and dignitaries.

"This is my brother, Li Hao, and my name is Li Yuanzhao."

Li Yuanzhao said, looking a bit silly, but with a alert gleam in his small eyes.

Shen Yunqing immediately glanced at Li Hao, and his heart suddenly realized. The long-lost memory came to his mind again. The boy in the Li family who was named by Emperor Yu more than ten years ago seemed to be Hao... Li Hao.

That's him.

Shen Yunqing's face showed no strange expression. He nodded slightly to the two of them and said with a smile, "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they? Come on, I'll take you to the front to gather."

He just thought that the two of them came all the way here via the invitation.

Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao were not familiar with the old man and they didn't talk much on the way.

The three of them walked leisurely along the way. Li Hao looked around, looking at the scenery in the mountains, and thought to himself that the environment of the Tan Palace Academy was quite good. If he stayed there often in the future, at least he would feel comfortable and refreshed.

Soon, the three of them reached the end of the square.

Hundreds of people gathered here, surrounding the three stone tablets.

"This is..." Li Yuanzhao looked at Shen Yunqing in confusion. Among them, he also saw Li Yun and his sister who had gone up the mountain earlier. They were both gathered in front of a stone tablet with the least number of people.

"Anyone who comes here is qualified to enter the Tan Palace Academy and is considered a formal disciple."

Shen Yun smiled and twirled his beard as he explained, "But as disciples, we have different qualifications. Our Tan Palace Academy is divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D. We rank them according to your qualifications to avoid a mix of inferiors, where the inferiors drag down the superiors, and the superiors bully the inferiors."

"So, there are these three stone tablets, which record three kinds of skills, namely low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade!"

“The difficulty varies.”

"Within three days, those who comprehend the entry level of the upper-grade techniques can enter the A-class, and those who comprehend the entry level of the middle-grade techniques can enter the B-class."

"If you comprehend the lower-grade skills for three days, you will be classified as Class C. If you do not learn any skills in three days, you will be classified as Class D."

Shen Yun smiled and said, "For the D-level class, if you are among the bottom three students in each semester's test scores, you will have to take a make-up exam. If you fail the make-up exam, you will be advised to drop out of school."

Li Yuanzhao suddenly understood.

Li Hao asked: "What if he doesn't listen to my advice?"

Shen Yunqing, who was smiling, was stunned. He refused to listen to the advice?
