Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

Xu Sanyan sat obediently in the chair and looked at the sky outside the window. The weather here has never changed. It has always been sunny during the day and dead silent and dark at night.

And there is no transition between day and night. There is no time period such as dusk and early morning. It only changes abruptly from day to night.

It is like a machine set by someone, running rigidly along the established degree.

And time passes very quickly. It feels like not much time has passed, but it is already dark.

Xu Sanyan glanced at the panel and was suddenly stunned. He saw that the life span column changed from nineteen to twenty!

He grew one year older?

Xu Sanyan suddenly felt horrified in his heart. Since the last Chinese New Year, only half a year has passed. But in just one month here, half a year has passed in the outside world?

Time is not passing normally!

But he clearly feels that time passes faster here than outside, but the panel will not lie to him, so there must be something wrong with his perception!

Xu Sanyan felt a full sense of urgency in his heart. His body was still outside.

Although with his current cultivation, it would not be a big deal even if he did not eat or drink, the longer the time dragged on, the more he was afraid of accidents.

This place is too weird.

The old man glanced around, put the ruler that he never left on the wooden table in front of him, and said in a sharp voice, "Today's academy exam is divided into two sessions, the first session is "The Word of the Sage", and the second session is the Six Arts of a Gentleman."

After that, his eyes stayed on Xu Sanyan for a moment, and then slowly moved away, "Those who pass the exam can worship as a registered disciple of the saint and enter and leave the academy freely."

Xu Sanyan unconsciously tensed up in his heart and was secretly excited. His guess was right!

Since it is an academy, there must be assessments and graduations.

The graduation exams for mortal students are provincial exams, joint exams, palace exams, etc. After passing the exams, they have the opportunity to become officials in the court, and from then on, they will have the opportunity to turn their lives around and have the opportunity to show their ambitions.

Then what they learned was the words of the saints, and the assessments were naturally close to the saints. Xu Sanyan had guessed this long ago, so he prepared for it a long time ago.

He had memorized the book "The Word of God" by heart, and the six arts of a gentleman had been improved by "Qi", so he had already entered the door and was not afraid of the test at all.

"Don't whisper to each other, don't disturb others, don't walk around at will, those who violate the rules will be expelled from the academy and will never be hired again."

Xu Sanyan pursed his lips. He didn't think that the "expulsion from the academy" mentioned by the old gentleman meant to let them leave. It was more likely to let them die.

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the books on the table disappeared and turned into a test paper. Then he took out a gong from somewhere and struck it gently.

"Dang~~~"

The melodious sound woke everyone up.

"Where is this..."

As soon as someone spoke subconsciously, the old gentleman who was originally sitting on a wooden chair appeared beside him in an instant, and slapped his head with a ruler in his hand.

The man's face suddenly became horrified, and then his figure dissipated and disappeared completely, as if there had never been such a person in the world.

Seeing this, everyone's faces were uncertain and they all fell silent.

Some of them had been here for a long time and it was not their first time to take the exam. For example, the elder of the Lu family had already taken the exam for the seventh time.

But even if he had gone through it seven times, it was useless. He had no idea what was written on the exam paper. What "a gentleman should be cautious in his conduct" and what "the words of the sage" were all confused.

And every time he woke up, he was younger than the last time. According to his estimation, he would completely disappear in three more rounds.

As a soul-refining cultivator, he had to have a solid soul to last so long. If his cultivation was lower, it would be difficult for him to survive three rounds of exams.

I'm afraid the Lu family would not have thought that the elder of the family who had been missing for nearly ten years was still alive, right?

Xu Sanyan looked at the test paper and breathed a sigh of relief. The content on it was all from the book, which was very simple for him, so he buried his head and wrote furiously.

The people around looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. No one knew how to write. In the huge school, only Xu Sanyan was writing.

The young man beside him sneaked a peek at the old invigilator, and then quickly glanced at Xu Sanyan's test paper, his expression full of panic, fearing that the old man would appear next to him in the next second and beat him to pieces with a ruler.

But the old man seemed not to see it, and let him copy, because there was no rule prohibiting copying.

Seeing this, the people around Xu Sanyan showed joy on their faces, and gradually became bolder. Some even stood up to look, but accidentally hit the chair behind them, making a sharp "squeak".

The old man appeared beside him in an instant, and dropped the ruler without saying anything, and the man disappeared in an instant.

The exam was still going on. Xu Sanyan glanced and found that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled, looked at everyone and nodded slightly, and then turned the test paper upside down.

He finished writing.

Everyone was stunned, not allowed to read?

Although they didn't know whether Xu Sanyan's writing was correct or not, they had no other choice at this moment.

For them, Xu Sanyan was like a thin vine growing on the abyss. They had to hold on tightly and take a gamble.

Some people were angry and stared at Xu Sanyan fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him alive. Some people begged and bowed repeatedly, but Xu Sanyan ignored them.

Xu Sanyan was not afraid at all. They were like tigers in captivity. They could do nothing behind the iron cage.

In fact, it was no big deal to let them copy, but Xu Sanyan never did anything that was not beneficial, even if it was just a small effort.

Everyone had no other options. They dared not move or make any sound. They could only think hard.

As time passed, the old man waved his hand and all the test papers appeared in his hand. "Next, the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Follow me."

As he spoke, he walked outside. Everyone followed him without delay.

Some people stared at Xu Sanyan, still angry that he did not let them copy.

Xu Sanyan curled his lips and did not care. If nothing unexpected happened, they would never get out in this life. Why should they care about a group of dying people?

In the courtyard, the old man stood still and said, "The test begins."

...

At the same time, outside Dagu Mountain, everyone in the Yue family had already evacuated. At the beginning, the Yue family sent more than a dozen people to Dagu Mountain one after another, using all kinds of means.

Whether it was magic weapons, secret methods, mechanisms, or puppets to protect the soul, as long as they entered Dagu Mountain, they would lose contact instantly.

No one came out, and not even a little news was sent back. They had already given up.

But there was one person who had not given up, and that was Qin Manyang.

She stayed outside Dagu Mountain for nearly a year.

As for why she was so persistent, it was certainly not because of love.

Qin Manyang lay on the ground in a fiery red dress, looking up at the sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
