Chapter 6: Entering the Warlord Academy
Li Qing did not stay outside for half a month. After only about a week, he applied to the academy to go to Blackrock Spire War Academy.
The school doesn't have any requirements in this regard , as long as you meet the requirements, you can go.
Every week, each junior college in the Blackrock Realm would open a teleportation array to the Blackrock War College. After applying, Li Qing was granted permission and was ready to enter the teleportation array the next day.
When the teleportation array was opened, dazzling light shot up into the sky and the space before eyes distorted.
In the haze, Li Qing vaguely saw the shadow of a divine tree that reached from heaven to earth above the vast and boundless sea of chaos, and he himself was quickly moving away from it.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Li Qing was teleported out of the Black Stone Realm and away from the Eternal Divine Tree, he felt the temperature was slowly dropping.
But he soon discovered that this was not an illusion, but a fact.
When the transmission ended, he suddenly landed on solid ground. The energy barrier surrounding him suddenly disappeared, and a sharp chill hit him in the face, causing Li Qing to shiver.
"Wow!"
The exclamations of two young men in the crowd who were teleported at the same time as him attracted Li Qing's attention. He looked up subconsciously and saw a giant tower reaching into the clouds not far from the teleportation point.
The tower is so tall that its top cannot be seen. It is made entirely of pure black stone, and has a thick layer of crystalline light on its surface.
Beyond the light, there were extremely thick elemental energy pillars that surrounded the tower like giant dragons. Huge, colorful energy balls were suspended at the top of the tower, slowly rotating.
Just by looking at it, one can feel the soul-trembling energy fluctuations in the ball of light.
Li Qing looked up. There was no light in the sky and he could not see the sky. Only endless black clouds gathered above his head, circling around the top of the wizard tower that was so high that the top was invisible. From time to time, thick lightning could be seen exploding inside, illuminating the clouds.
The vortex of dark clouds that covered the entire field of vision were not real clouds, but an anomaly formed by the Mage Tower forcibly extracting void energy from outside the plane fragments.
At this time, the Mage Tower was in a semi-dormant state, and most of its combat functions were not turned on, so it looked normal.
If a Mage Tower of this size were to be fully activated, its power would be...
unimaginable!
“It’s been a dream come true!”
It would be amazing if there could be a wizard tower of this size , or if the core of the divine domain could be upgraded and strengthened to this level.
Relying on a wizard tower of this specification, the defense of the divine realm can reach an astonishing level.
Unfortunately, even an ordinary formal war lord cannot build a wizard tower of this specification.
Blackrock Spire Warlord Academy, a long time ago, referred to the top-level mage tower named Blackrock Spire. Later, with the passing of each session, a large number of plane fragments were pulled over from the nearby void by the mage tower, and the large amount of resource output also attracted a large number of businessmen to gather.
They began to expand with Blackrock Spire as the center, and slowly formed a city based on Blackrock Spire War Academy.
Blackrock Spire was built in the mountains in the center of the central plane fragment, and the city relying on the War Academy was naturally also built in the mountains.
The teleportation point is located at the top of a small hill. Outside the guardrail is a very high cliff. There is a road at the bottom of the cliff with houses built against the mountain on both sides. It turns left and right and extends to behind a large complex of buildings.
Li Qing discovered that from time to time there were huge figures passing through the sky. These should be tamed flying creatures. Occasionally, large engineering airships could be seen.
The teleportation point is a little distance away from the Mage Tower, but it is the time for the new batch of students to report. When Li Qing came down from the platform of the teleportation point, he saw a sign on the door of a small building built on the edge of a cliff beside the small square below the steps - New Student Reception Office.
There were many small cars similar to sightseeing buses parked at the door, and there seemed to be a large figure flying in the air above the cliff behind the small building.
Li Qing walked straight over, and the two men who were chatting at the door stood up immediately and asked enthusiastically:
“Is this student here to report?”
Li Qing glanced at the two of them and saw a transparent box above their heads with their names and occupations written on it.
Two professionals, a warrior and a stealth fighter.
"I'm from the Seventh Junior College, Li Qing."
One of them immediately took out a crystal panel and pointed at it. In less than ten seconds, he raised his head with a hint of envy on his face:
"It's confirmed. It's His Excellency Li Qing."
"You can report to the War College at any time. If you are not in a hurry, you can take a bus there and learn the way. If you are in a hurry, you can take a Giant Eagle, which is very fast."
"Then I'll try the Giant Eagle!"
The man nodded immediately:
"Please follow me."
Then he took Li Qing into the house and came to the back of the house, where there was a large platform extending out. From here, one could see a giant eagle circling back and forth in the air behind the house.
There was a man on the platform feeding a giant eagle. Li Qing took a look and found that his occupation was a level 41 animal trainer .
The wingspan of this black-feathered giant eagle is about five or six meters. It is a black eagle with an ordinary template of level 38.
There was a leather saddle on the black eagle's back. Under the control of the trainer, the black eagle lay down and Li Qing sat on the saddle. With a whistle, the black eagle turned around, stood on the edge of the platform, flapped its wings hard, and jumped down.
Li Qing immediately felt like he was falling off a cliff, his heart pounding.
But after falling only a few meters, the Black Hawk flapped its wings hard, quickly rose high, and soon flew over the small building into the air.
“So cool!”
Flying has always been one of mankind's dreams, but unfortunately most of the time it is just a dream, and it can only be realized with the help of external objects.
At the moment it can be considered as relying on external objects, but it still feels great for Li Qing.
Looking down from a high place, you can see a large part of the city, with houses and buildings and pedestrians on the road all in sight.
"We need to get a group of air knights in the future. They are good at both combat and reconnaissance."
The flight was not too long, and they were very close to the War College from the air. After only a few minutes, the Black Hawk reached the edge of the War College and automatically stopped at the gate outside the college wall without his command.
There is a large square in front of the college entrance. On one side is the main gate of the War College, and on the other side are rows of buildings surrounding the square. Judging from the signs hanging on the doors, they are all shops that purchase various resources.
War lord apprentices usually go to some broken planes around the plane group for training. Many of the collected resources are not needed and the academy does not accept them, so they are thrown away and wasted.
But what they don't need is what some people do, so there are these merchants, and the college city itself was established by these merchants for better trade.
Li Qing landed from the Black Hawk. Among the group of young men and women gathered at the door, a girl in a light blue dress with a slim figure and youthful beauty immediately came up to him with a sweet voice.
"Is this Mr. Li Qing? I'm from the college reception. You can call me Zhiruo. I'll take care of you and complete your report."
Zhang Zhiruo: Professional archer, level 16.
Li Qing glanced at her rather large mouth, and nodded as the ID tag showed that she was an employee of the college.
The girl smiled sweetly, turned around and led the way. Li Qing walked behind her and just saw her slender waist and curved hips swaying gently, which was quite seductive.
But he just looked at her with admiration, without any emotion.
He knew very well that these pretty girls volunteered to be receptionists not because they really loved the job, but because they were trying to hook up with rich men.
In a war lord academy like his, even if they were born as commoners, they were naturally superior to professionals in terms of rank. Unless her professional level could exceed level 80 and be promoted to a legendary professional, she would not be as good as any war lord apprentice.
Regardless of the value.
In fact, based on their desire to take shortcuts at this moment, it is certain that there is a 99.99% chance that they will not be able to reach that step.
They know this themselves, so they have the idea of taking shortcuts.
The quickest and most profitable way for them is to find a war lord apprentice and become his lover.
Of course it would be best to marry a warlord apprentice, but that is impossible.
The wife of a war lord is either a war lord of the same level or a hero; she cannot be a professional.
Li Qing was sure that as long as he wanted, he could chat with her that night about technical issues such as basketball ball handling techniques and which one was longer and harder, a golf club or a baseball bat.
It's just that he's not interested.
He had just opened up the divine realm and had not yet come into contact with supernatural powers, so how could he be interested in these distractions?
When I become strong enough and am promoted to a formal war lord, then I will have time to relax.
Next, he followed Zhang Zhiruo into the gate of the academy with admiration. His first step was not to go to the huge Mage Tower in the center that looked like a mountain, but to go to a castle-like building on the other side of the academy to complete the registration of new students.
Then I received my identity card, a student handbook card, which contained the academy's taboos and precautions, as well as some basic information.
Including information on selecting tutors one week after the official start of school, some information about the college's rewards and punishments, information about the three major rankings and benefits of the War College, etc.
What he was most concerned about was the information about class selection and tutors. Contrary to his expectations, he could actually learn about and choose a tutor now, but the assessment would only begin a week after the official start of school.
According to the information, each mentor has different standards for accepting apprentices. All war lord apprentices can choose a mentor who meets their requirements according to their abilities.
After a week, the instructor will send assessment invitation letters to all War Lord apprentices who have applied. As long as they can pass the assessment, they can become one of the instructor's students.
Seeing this, Li Qing became impatient.
When he followed Zhang Zhiruo to his assigned dormitory, he waved to her to leave in the beautiful woman's sad eyes, then closed the door and opened his personal terminal.
It is a personal terminal like a watch on the right wrist. When it is turned on, it projects a light curtain on which you can operate. It is very convenient and easy to use.
Enter the official homepage of the War College, skip the welcome screen and enter the official website. Skip the internal trading platform of the campus network and slide your eyes to the back . Touch the tutor selection button with your finger, and a new interface pops up with a row of tutor avatars and basic information about the tutors below the avatars.
Li Qing's attention was immediately attracted by the two five-star instructors in the top row.
The college has 2 five-star tutors, 5 four-star tutors, 8 three-star tutors, 23 two-star tutors, and 11 one-star tutors.
The ranking of mentors is related to the resources and personal strength they have, as well as their interpersonal relationships and status. Generally speaking, the more powerful the mentor, the higher the ranking.
There are only two five-star mentors, or special-level mentors, and both are senior and formal war lords.
Well, to be precise, all mentors are official war lords.
But just like people are of different heights, beauties and ugliness, there are also differences in strength among formal war lords, some are doing well and some are doing poorly.
The five-star mentors are roughly divided into three levels. Two five-star mentors are on one level, five four-star mentors and eight three-star mentors are on one level, and the remaining one- and two-star mentors are on one level.
Just like choosing college entrance examination majors, each student has three chances to choose.
If you fail the assessment of your first choice, you can lower the requirements and choose a lower-level tutor.
If you fail the second time, you can lower the requirements and try again.
But if you fail three times, you will have to be assigned to a random one-star tutor according to the college's adjustment.
In other words, no matter how bad your performance is, there will always be a tutor to teach you, so you will not be unable to go to school.
However, if you are assigned to a one-star mentor, it cannot be said that your future is hopeless, but it will definitely be more difficult to stand out.
Li Qing's eyes fell on the avatars of the two five-star mentors. He hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not click on them.
The competition between these two is extremely fierce. You have to know that the tutors in the War College are not like the classes in ordinary colleges, and one tutor will not have too many students.
You should know that each tutor accepts some students every year, and they teach several classes of students at the same time.
So generally there are only a dozen students in each class, and several classes add up to dozens of students.
These dozen or so student places have already been coveted by the Blackrock Realm's big families and powerful war lords' direct descendants. Some have even been reserved before school starts, so ordinary students have no chance at all.
So Li Qing didn't want to waste a selection spot, so he simply gave up without even choosing.
Next, he turned his attention to the avatars of the five four-star mentors and eight three-star mentors. These thirteen mentors had at least one hundred and fifty vacancies, and he might be able to compete for one.
Jiang Bo Chong, four-star mentor, first-level war lord.
Application requirements: Priority will be given to direct descendants of war lords.
“Good fellow!”
Li Qing gave up speechlessly.
Although it doesn't say that only direct descendants can register, but looking at the requirements, I'd better not waste a place.
Lu Jun, four-star mentor, first-level war lord.
Application requirements: The area of the divine domain exceeds 1,000 acres.
"All right!"
Li Qing had nothing to say.
This one isn’t as direct as the one above, but the requirements are the same.
The length and width of one square kilometer are 1000 meters.
One square kilometer is equivalent to 1,500 mu, and 1,000 mu is two-thirds of one square kilometer.
However, the size of Li Qing's divine domain is only 120 meters.
Since everyone is a new student, it means that only those children of noble families or direct descendants of war lords who can use more than ten points of source essence to open up the divine domain from the beginning can meet the requirements.
