The puppets' stage play

Zhao Zhengming looked indifferent and was furious.

I am full of unwillingness and indignation towards the college, these candidates, the examiner, and everything.

He entered the wall before, and soon after he arrived at an open space. Above his sight was a sealed wall, with only a little light shining down.

There were two suspended trains running side by side not far away, and people got on the train from time to time, which started to annoy him.

Zhao Zhengming stepped out of the sealed space, blocked the light in the sky with his hands, calmed his eyes, and saw a distant vehicle coming into view.

The two vehicles are somewhat similar to the 'Yunguang' No. 8 suspension vehicle operating in the outside world, except that one is blue and white in color, and the other is green, and looks more high-end.

Bang, he was pushed far away, and a strong figure passed by him and bumped into him.

Zhao Zhengming frowned and looked at him. The man was at least two meters tall. His gray shirt was stretched close to his body. His upper arms were muscular and about the size of an average person's calf. He had a pair of knee-length shorts and two thick and powerful hairy thighs.

The man had bunches of braids tied on the back of his head, blowing in all directions in the wind.

He turned around, his face full of disdain, his eyes glared in this direction, and he left without looking back.

Before he could react, a figure blew past him like the wind. The figure was thin but his legs and feet were very nimble.

Then he turned his round, monkey-like face and smiled sarcastically, with dissatisfaction with the handsome boy in his eyes.

Zhao Zhengming took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction. The most important thing now was this exam, and there should be no extraneous matters.

He looked around, and the people around him were all such dangerous or gloomy characters. He felt a little suspicious and fear welled up in his heart. He bit his mouth and beat his chest hard.

His eyes are serious, no matter what, he will never back down here!

The guards here are also more powerful than the outside world. They command the candidates in a rough voice to stand in order and take turns to check, but the method is a bit rough.

Zhao Zhengming waited in line silently.

In this somewhat depressing atmosphere, the candidates could only let themselves be manipulated obediently. Even the tall and strong man he saw did not express any objection. Faced with the rough behavior, he even seemed a little cowardly and did not even say a word. Dare to say more.

Soon it was Zhao Zhengming's turn. The guard's thick arm grabbed his wrist and opened it skillfully. When he saw the assessment information inside, the other party grinned and smiled, and his eyes were even sympathetic.

But when he saw Zhao Zhengming's cold expression, coupled with his handsome face, his expression suddenly became distorted.

He sneered and pushed Zhao Zhengming hard before continuing to check the next person.

Zhao Zhengming staggered and did not look back, but could not help but clenched his fists.

He silently walked to the entrance of the hover car. Everything he saw made his brain suddenly heat up, and his breathing became heavy, and he could hardly suppress his anger.

The simple seats are like a prison carriage, with a very unfriendly atmosphere everywhere.

A certain white-haired old man glanced over here and looked at him, his cold eyes full of warning.

He unclenched his fists and sat down on his seat without saying a word.

Next to them was a tall, strong man, a boy with a monkey face, and a gloomy man with glasses. Yes, there were seats for four, and the entire carriage was filled with many candidates.

After a while, the carriage was full and all the candidates were present.

The old man cheered up and spoke lightly about his origins, the destination of this car, and what they needed to do.

Zhao Zhengming and others suddenly realized that the white-haired old man was the captain of this car and was responsible for delivering them to the academy. They were rated relatively low in the first round of assessment, so they came here.

There are no various enjoyments in this car. It only has the purpose of delivering the candidates. They don't need to do anything, they just need to wait.

The more Zhao Zhengming listened, the more doubtful he became. He was obviously using the scholar's privileges to avoid the first round of screening, so why was his evaluation so low? If everyone who went through the scholar channel was like this, then why couldn't he see Du De.

He comforted himself in his mind that maybe he was in another car, because only in this way could he barely remain calm and not be swallowed up by panic.

The vehicle started slowly, floated into the air, and headed towards the wall. An exit silently appeared in the sealed space, and the vehicle then shuttled out.

As it floats in mid-air, the rider feels no bumps and feels like they are on flat ground.

On the way, some people are hungry and want to eat, some are nervous and want to go to the toilet, and some politely ask when they will arrive. The white-haired old man often rolls his eyes, and his words are particularly embarrassing.

"No, it will be there soon!"

"Bear it and take it back yourself."

"It's none of your business, don't talk too much"

Everyone's faces turned blue, and Zhao Zhengming sat down with an embarrassed expression as well. He just wanted to ask how long it would take to get there.

No one said anything more. The candidates were very angry with each other. Occasionally there were some frictions, but the other party ignored them. Time passed by minute by second.

"Dingdong, welcome to this ride. I wish you a happy body and mind and good luck in the exam!"

With a pleasant sound, the airship arrived at its destination. Qingjing Academy was located below. Qi Xiu tilted his head and looked down.

It is a large city that covers an extremely large area and can be seen far away. It is named after the college. It can actually be regarded as an independent special area. The entire college is covered with signals and every corner is closely monitored.

At the main entrance of the college, colorful flags were fluttering, and there was a giant stand. There were people waiting above, looking towards this side.

About 20 minutes later, Qi Xiu came back to his senses and thought in his mind. He also saw the clouds passing quickly outside the deck. It could be seen that the college was not close to Xinhaizhou City, and could even be considered very far away.

The airship landed smoothly at the dedicated stop, emitting a ray of light from above the deck and connecting to a black line on the ground.

Stairs made of light appeared in the air, like ladders to heaven, and everyone could not help but be stunned.

The captain arrived at some unknown time. He bowed to the students alone at the entrance of the light staircase with a smile on his face. The waiters behind him saluted silently.

Everyone hesitated immediately and looked at each other, not daring to take the lead.

Dengdeng.

A figure walked up the stairs without fear. His face was calm, his movements were relaxed and generous, and he looked at the danger in front of him as nothing, appearing courageous and heroic.

Compared with the candidates behind him, they look very different and unique!

His eyes were attracted and his fighting spirit was inspired in his heart.

The candidates had either unwillingness or admiration on their faces. They all looked directly at the figure in front of them. They no longer had any concerns in their hearts and allowed themselves to walk up the stairs with their heads held high.

Qi Xiu looked expressionless, but in fact he was sighing in his heart.

He didn't want to stand out like this, but these guys were too courageless.

You must know that this is the assessment site, at the entrance of the college. If you think about it, you will never let any accident happen. I am afraid this time it is also to see their courage and wisdom.

He wondered how long it would take for these people to understand this. In order to show off his abilities, he stepped forward without hesitation and broke the deadlock.

The captain looked at the young man who left first, his face full of appreciation. No matter what happens to this candidate in the future, he is the center of attention at this moment. At this time of year, there are always endless talents emerging.

He sighed, turned around and walked into the center. He had to deal with some garbage, and then he stopped looking.

The other airships also arrived one after another. Facing the light ladder, the candidates hesitated at first, but finally walked down one after another and waited in the open space in front of the college gate.

Qi Xiu counted in his mind, there were about 150 people, so there was one more person.

Carrying some of the most distinguished candidates in Xinhaizhou City, a ship that seemed more luxurious even among the many airships floated over.

With a roar, it slowly landed, and the 'noble ones' looked down from above. Qi Xiu couldn't help but think of the exchange between Song Sheng and him in the air.

He stared at those people, his eyes were not strange like others, and his expression was particularly indifferent.

It landed as always, just like the previous light ladder.

The people here watched with a teasing attitude, and there was a hint of pleasure in their hearts. No matter how noble you are on weekdays, you are now going to make a fool of yourself like us.

Gong Shoucheng and others looked relaxed as they watched the light ladder descend. They were not surprised. Facing the malicious looks from the people below, he just sighed silently in his heart.

Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all had no fear. They talked and laughed with each other, and slowly walked down the stairs with a scornful mood. Their expectations solidified and turned into full disappointment.

Gong Shoucheng had calm eyes, a smile on his face, a gentle attitude toward others, and a steady center of gravity. He walked down step by step without any hesitation, watching the disappointed crowd in the distance from the corner of his eye, and spoke silently.

It's just that this level is not enough to make them look embarrassed. Not to mention this kind of airship, even if they are more developed, they have done it before, and others can't imagine it.

Even if everyone is of the same age, their knowledge and vision are completely different. Even if there are really incompetent people among them, for the sake of the glory of their own family, they will not reveal it because it will bring shame to the elders.

A group of people gathered somewhere, no longer taking any steps, with deep pride on their faces, isolated from the crowd in front, and clearly separated from each other.

Among them, the woman in red looked around boredly, her eyes seemed a little disappointed, and those who paid attention to her couldn't help but wonder who it was that attracted her so much attention.

Qi Xiu glanced at his wrist. It was 8:40. Zhao Zhengming and others hadn't arrived yet. There were only about 180 people there.

woohoo

About 15 minutes later, two suspended trains came one after another in mid-air, turned a corner, and stopped in another area. After a while, a group of people came over with ferocious eyes. The atmosphere is sinister.

Everyone present looked tense and full of disgust, not wanting the other party to come to their side.

This group of people walked for a while, perhaps understanding the unfriendliness here, and consciously stopped somewhere not far away. Their faces became more and more gloomy, but they were no longer approaching.

On the high platform, a young man wearing a college guard uniform looked down at the scene in front of him with an expressionless face.

At 9 o'clock, we were at the entrance of the college.

The guards had already set up a stage, set up roadblocks and white horizontal strips, waiting for the candidates to enter.

The young man looked at the time and snapped his fingers.

"Now the second round of the entrance examination has officially begun. Candidates please enter in an orderly manner in the order in which they came."

Out of thin air, a mechanical sound sounded in the field. Everyone was startled, but saw that the second group of people didn't care. They had already reached the gate first and hurriedly caught up with them, a little further away.

The guards separated the two groups from each other, and of course did the same to the last group.

Qi Xiu also stepped forward, his head slightly lowered, and a blue light flashed in the corner of his eyes.

At this moment, small mosquito-like mechanical devices are scattered in the air, densely packed, surrounding the candidates, and constantly passing each other. It was these small things that combined with each other to make sounds before.

He raised his head, his eyes were clear and black, his face was calm, and he was waiting in line.
