Chapter 412: New Life in Zhongshe
"What are you still standing there for? Come in, you're already late."

The lecturer's scarlet lips opened and closed as he spoke in a harsh voice.

This sound was like a sharp blade, cutting through the pink and white faces in front of me.

Liu Sheng suddenly realized that the horrific scene she had just seen was just an illusion, and now all she saw before her were very normal faces with different expressions and looks.

But there was still a uniform look of astonishment on their faces.

"I haven't seen a new face in a long time. Could it be this year's Jinshi?"

"But how can everyone who enters school be a middle-level student?"

"Did she go the wrong way?"

"It doesn't look like that from the clothes."

"Could it be that the wrong clothes were sent?"

"Such a low-level mistake shouldn't happen, right?"

"But... I heard that most of the successful candidates in this year's exam went to seminary. Why didn't she go?"

Following these sounds, Liu Sheng walked into the house and found an empty seat at the back and sat down.

A male student sitting next to him curiously leaned over and said straight to the point: "Classmate, my name is Lv Xingxing. I want to ask you, are you a successful candidate in this year's imperial examination?"

Although the others could not look back openly, they also pricked up their ears out of curiosity.

Liu Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

"But why are you a middle-level student?"

"I don't know either." Liu Sheng shook his head.

"Are you Yanei?"

"No." Liu Sheng shook his head.

"Are you the son of the Grand Master of Houshan?"

"No." Liu Sheng shook his head again.

"Ah... Could it be that you know Mei Yuanzheng?"

Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment. Although he was the so-called designated student of Meiyuan, this shouldn't be the reason, right?
Just then, the lecturer in front of him knocked on the ruler and said, "Quiet, new students in the back, don't talk."

Lu Xingxing immediately shut up and sat up straight.

[He talks more than me! And he took the initiative! Why is he staring at me? ]

Liu Sheng was upset, but still sat quietly.

Seeing that they had quieted down, the female lecturer, whose face was sallow and looked like she had not rested for more than ten days of training, continued to talk about the key points of spiritual practice.

Although Liu Sheng did not respond just now, that moment of hesitation allowed others to have their own interpretations. They nodded silently and slowly retracted their ears that were stretched out to eavesdrop.

This class is a spiritual practice class. According to Lu Xingxing, who is as talkative as Jiang Caibin, the lecturer's surname is Huang and he is a bachelor's degree holder specializing in spiritual practice.

Liu Sheng was not interested in this because this was not the path he was taking.

But it’s good to listen to it, as a way to understand the Supreme God.

After talking about the key points and difficulties for a while, Master Huang asked all the students to close their eyes and meditate to sense the spiritual energy. She would help everyone adjust some details of the practice.

Liu Sheng had no choice but to close his eyes.

Although she really wanted to draw upon the spiritual energy of the new world for meditation, the spiritual energy was too dense and the noise would be too loud if she practiced on her own, so it would be better not to be too ostentatious.

But the consequence of doing so was that Mr. Huang's voice rang in his ears.

"New classmate, why don't you have any sense of energy yet?"

Liu Sheng opened his eyes and saw Master Huang standing beside him with a bent over waist, holding an instrument with a flashing red light in his hand, looking at him with concern but a hint of severity.

She noticed that many students around her had also opened their eyes and were looking over here.

Some of the looks in their eyes were teasing, while others were concerned.

Liu Sheng replied: "Well, I haven't found the feeling yet."

"How spiritual are you?" asked Master Huang.

The classic question…

But Liu Sheng could only answer according to the official records.

"Eight." "Eight?" Mr. Huang's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed due to fatigue, suddenly widened, and his voice became much louder due to shock.

This exclamation attracted everyone's attention.

Mr. Huang felt a little apologetic and distressed. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he gently patted Liu Sheng's shoulder.

"This journey has not been easy..."

Then he said no more and went to see the next student.

【…】

Liu Sheng wanted to say, no, she is very strong!

But Mr. Huang's tired back had already walked away, and the eyes of the students around him looking at Liu Sheng were even more determined.

Sure enough, he was Mei Yuanzheng’s relative.

In this class, Master Huang did not ask Liu Sheng any more questions, nor did he demand that she must get into the state and feel the qi.

Liu Sheng was happy to have some free time. He took out the third article he had been writing for a long time and started writing it openly.

The gossipy classmate Lu Xingxing next to her, seeing Liu Sheng writing something, couldn't help but lean over again out of curiosity and asked, "Junior, what are you writing?"

“I’m writing an article.”

"Writing an article right after entering school? What are you going to do?"

Liu Sheng thought this question was very strange, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I will vote for "Theory of Cultivation"."

When Lu Xingxing heard this, she immediately advised earnestly: "Schoolmate, don't be too ambitious. The requirements of "Cultivation Theory" are too high."

"Let me tell you, based on my experience, it's better to submit to "Family Practice" or "Aura Times". Although the impact factor is not high, at least it can be published!"

"Yeah." Liu Sheng smiled slightly, brushed away the little man lying on the paper who was laughing and cursing, and continued to concentrate on writing.

Lu Xingxing felt that Liu Sheng must have taken his words to heart, and turned his head back with satisfaction. He felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility as a senior and saved his junior from the suffering of invalid submissions, so that she would not suffer the frustration and pain of frequent rejections.

After the first class, there is a quarter-hour break before the second class begins.

The National Academy arranges two classes every day. Except for the occasional lecture in the afternoon by a university scholar, the rest of the time is at the students' disposal.

In the National Academy, in addition to studying, a very important part is socializing and participating in association activities that interest you.

After all, when you graduate from the National Academy, you will serve as an official in the court. You should make use of this time in the National Academy to make friends with fellow students and enhance friendships. In the future, you can also support each other and work together in your official career.

Moreover, since they were all fellow students of the National Academy and disciples of the emperor, the emperor did not have to worry about them forming factions for personal gain. Instead, the government was united and harmonious.

This was designed in the early days of the Honghu Project, in order to create a friendly atmosphere for academic exchange and stimulate creativity. If this can allow some people who love academics to stay in the National Academy to study, it would be a good thing.

Although this original intention has faded now, the atmosphere of peer communication and friendly association continues to this day.

Therefore, Wen Xuanning's behavior was completely in line with the requirements of the National Academy, but the fact that he had no ordinary people in his circle of friends made the poor disciples feel disheartened.

But people from poor families were not the majority in the National Academy, so the commotion in the dining hall last night did not cause much trouble.

At this time, Liu Sheng, who was writing while keeping an ear open for gossip, heard a student next to him say that the seminary would hold another seminar this afternoon, and it would be hosted by the new student Wen Xuanning.

This time, everyone is welcome to participate.

Lu Xingxing originally wanted to ask Liu Sheng if she wanted to join, but seeing how focused she was, he gave up and stopped disturbing her.

The other students were also a little curious about Liu Sheng, but seeing how hard this new classmate worked, they gave up.

However, some people feel that such hard work really defeats the purpose of coming to the National Academy.

"Your spiritual talent is not high to begin with, so why don't you make some friends while you just get in? You're just wasting your efforts. I don't know what you'll be able to do after you leave the academy." Someone sighed softly.

"Maybe he doesn't want to leave the National Academy? He wants to be a research scholar. After all, he has the relationship with Meiyuanzheng..."

"If you want to be a research student, you have to pass the exam and get into the upper dormitory." The man shook his head and said, "Look at all of us. It's been more than a year. How many of you have passed the exam and got into the upper dormitory?"

“Yeah, it’s not that easy…”

"However, Mei Yuanzheng might..."

The man was halfway through his words when he saw the lecturer of the next class rushing in, so he quickly stopped talking.

"Okay, let's start the formation class." The dark and thin lecturer announced, taking out a thick stack of formation plates and draft paper from his storage bag.

Liu Sheng immediately sat up straight and put away the article.

You still have to listen carefully to the formation class.

I don't know what the level of the formation class in the National Academy is like.
