Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 458
"Unknown name, assassin-type swordsman, top twelfth rank of swordsmanship."

The answer given by the store system is very concise, but it has already pointed out the two most important points. The strength of this old man has already reached the upper level of the twelfth rank of swordsmanship, and he is only a little short of being a holy powerhouse.This kind of strength, in the entire Riyao Kingdom, I am afraid that it is ranked first, at least on the surface, only the emperor, the inherited sword master, can surpass the old man.In addition, the old man is an assassin-type swordsman, which also explains why the old man can hide himself, standing there clearly, but no one can find out.

"What's the matter?" The old man asked suspiciously. He wanted to say a few words of encouragement at first, but suddenly seeing Ye Shi's expression change, the old man suddenly became a little puzzled.

"No." Ye Shi shook his head. The strength of the old man had no effect on him. Compared to him, Ye Shi wanted to know what was behind the iron gate.After shaking his head, Ye Shi stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Old man, what is this iron gate? Behind it is..."

Ye Shi's current appearance is like a curious child, with a desire for knowledge in his eyes.Apart from the Holy Sword, Ye Shi is indeed also interested in what is behind the iron gate, but it is obviously not so obvious. In the final analysis, Ye Shi's current appearance was deliberately made by Ye Shi.

It’s just that Ye Shi acted very proficiently, the old man didn’t notice anything wrong at all, and Ye Shi’s curiosity seemed normal to the old man. People who come to the library for the first time will be very familiar with the iron gate and the things behind it. interested.If Ye Shi saw the iron gate, but just looked at it and didn't ask anything, it would make the old man suspicious.

"This is not an ordinary iron door, but a black iron door, all made of black iron. Black iron is much stronger than ordinary iron stone, even some tempered steel is slightly inferior. And this The black iron gate is fully one meter thick, even a saint-level powerhouse should not destroy it easily," said the old man.

This is something that many people know, there is no need for the old man to hide it. As for the things that should not be said, the old man automatically ignores them when he speaks.From the mouth of the old man, Ye Shi only knew that the door was one meter thick and was made of black iron, which was much stronger than ordinary iron stones. It was indeed correct that he didn't want to break through recklessly before.Otherwise, not to mention what the old man would do to him, even the black iron gate would be able to block Ye Shi from the gate, making it impossible for him to enter.

"Then what is behind this black iron gate that needs such strict protection? Not only is there a black iron gate, but it is also guarded by a strong man like you, old man." Ye Shi asked without leaving a trace. It seems that he is very curious, and he is already eager to know the answer.

You know, if you have any unruly thoughts, the first thing to do is to prevent the other party from being suspicious, and naturally you won't show an anxious look.Therefore, the old man naturally thought that Ye Shi was really just asking out of curiosity, and Ye Shi's two words flattered the old man. Although the old man didn't say anything, he was still happy.

"It's nothing, it's just some things in the academy, it's just more expensive, so it's just done like this." The old man said, glanced at Ye Shi, paused for a moment, and then said: "It seems that you don't like this Xuan Behind the iron gate, I am really interested, so let me tell you the truth first."

"What?" Ye Shi asked, he was really curious now.

"The admissions assessment will start tomorrow. This admissions assessment will be held for three days. As long as you can get the top three, you will be able to make an exception and have a chance to enter behind this black iron gate." The old man stretched out his fingers, is the number three.

Don't look at the need for only the top three, but there are almost thousands of students who come to participate in the Jiange Academy's admissions assessment every year. If you want to get the top three among them, it is not difficult to say, but it is almost the same.Of course, Ye Shi remembered it in his heart when he heard it. Others might be a little annoyed because the admissions assessment of Jiange Academy started.But Ye Shi didn't pay much attention to the Jiange Academy's admissions assessment. With his strength, even if the assessment was several times more difficult, Ye Shi would not be afraid.

Originally, I just planned to pass the assessment and didn't want to fight for anything in the past, but now it seems that I can't do it.Ye Shi nodded, and glanced at the black iron gate. Ye Shi could feel that the holy sword was inside, so he just waited now, and took the holy sword back when he won the top three in the admissions assessment.

"You seem to be very confident, very good, very good." The old man praised, and only with such a strong fighting spirit can it be possible to really win the top three in the admissions assessment.Of course, it's just a chance, not even a big chance, after all, there are tens of thousands of people participating in the admissions assessment.

Of course, there may be more situations, but such situations will not appear in front of people. Jiange Academy's enrollment assessment only has [-] places, and others will be rejected when they sign up.It can be said that the registration for the admissions assessment is itself an assessment.The purpose is to reduce the number of people, and finally there are about a thousand people left.

And these thousand people do not mean that they will be able to become students of Jiange Academy, but a formal assessment will be conducted among these thousand people.Only then will there be a hundred students who are actually accepted by Jiange Academy.In other words, even if you pass the registration assessment, you will still go through an assessment with a failure rate of [-]%.Then, the ranking is decided.

This level of assessment allows those who can enter Jiange Academy to be good sword repair geniuses.However, no one dared to say that they were sure of the feast of sword cultivators from the entire Riyao Kingdom, so the old man took Ye Shi's confidence into his eyes, but he only thought that Ye Shi's courage was commendable, and he had nothing else to say idea.

"By the way, it's been so long, and you still don't know the old man's name?" Ye Shi changed the subject.

"I almost forgot my name, so I'll call me by my nickname, so you can call me Lao Niu." Lao Niu said.

"Senior Lao Niu." Ye Shi would not really call him a nickname directly. It is polite for others to say that, but it is wrong for him to really call him that.

"Little guy, after knowing my name, I didn't intend to introduce myself." Lao Niu scolded with a smile, obviously not a loser, but it is true that Lao Niu is still very interested in Ye Shi now, if it is not tomorrow, he will recruit students When the assessment began, Lao Niu really wanted to keep Ye Shi and teach Ye Shi a little bit so that he could cope with the admissions assessment.

"My name is……"

"Ye Shi?"

Suddenly a pleasant female voice sounded, interrupting Ye Shi's voice, Ye Shi closed his mouth, following the sound, it was Bai Xue.

Bai Xue came to Ye Shi, and after seeing that it was indeed Ye Shi, she breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, Bai Xue didn't notice at all why she had such thoughts, why she cared about a person she had just met not long ago.However, before Bai Xue thought Ye Shi was gone, she was quite disappointed, but seeing Ye Shi now, she felt a sense of surprise.

"Xiao Xue?" The old cow was taken aback, looked at Bai Xue, then at Ye Shi, with a pensive look on his face.

Bai Xue didn't notice the old cow's unusual behavior, but Ye Shi saw it and just shrugged. Now that the old cow didn't ask anything, Ye Shi certainly wouldn't take the initiative to explain it.But there is one thing that Ye Shi cares about, that is, the old cow knows Bai Xue. This old cow seems to know that his status in Jiange Academy is not low. If he is just an ordinary student, he may not be able to attract the attention of the old cow, even if he does , will soon be forgotten.And Lao Niu actually saw Bai Xue at a glance. From that appearance, the two should be quite familiar with each other.

"Grandpa Niu." Only then did Bai Xue notice the old cow. Although Bai Xue knew that the old cow was here before, she kept it hidden, so she didn't notice it.

"You girl, you headed towards this little guy as soon as you came, and you didn't even look at your grandpa Niu." The old cow pretended to be angry.

How could Bai Xue not know the old cow's temper, she knew that the old cow was not really angry, facing the old cow, Bai Xue was no longer the same as the iceberg before, but extremely close, after chatting with the old cow for a few words, she saw To the leaf stone.Only then did Bai Xue notice that she seemed to have talked too much with Lao Niu, and instead ignored Ye Shi next to her.

When the old cow saw Bai Xue's appearance, of course he wanted to save Bai Xue from the siege, and said to Ye Shi with a smile: "Little guy, your name is Ye Shi?"

"Yeah." Ye Shi nodded.

"Ye Shi, um, not a bad name." Lao Niu nodded, because of Ye Shi's name, he was a little appreciative.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes directly, your ability to change the subject is also a bit weak, but Ye Shi won't show it, but nodded, looked at Bai Xue, and said: "It's getting late now, I'll go back first gone."

"Are you going back?" Bai Xue said, before she could leave her mouth, Bai Xue realized that what she said was wrong, and quickly changed her words: "Go back so early, have you checked the information?"

"It's not bad, it's a good harvest." Ye Shi nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that the biggest harvest this time was the news of a holy sword.

"Really." The corners of Bai Xue's mouth twitched, and she cursed herself inwardly, what was wrong with her, how could she be so reluctant to part with a person she had only known for less than a day.

"Girl Xiaoxue, it's not like we can't see each other again." Lao Niu saw Bai Xue's appearance, and then said: "Aren't you going to be in charge of part of the admissions assessment tomorrow? Ye Shi will also come to participate in the admissions assessment tomorrow. See you again."

"Really?" Bai Xue immediately looked at Ye Shi upon hearing this.

"Really." Ye Shi nodded, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Tomorrow, I will participate in the assessment."
