"Has Chen Ke sent out a rescue signal?" On a stone platform, Lu Changfeng, the principal of the Great Xia Academy, strode over and asked the two elders in charge of the rescue.
The two elders bowed and shook their heads, saying, "Except for Shui Changqing's, we haven't received Chen Ke's rescue signal yet."
Beside Lu Changfeng, a middle-aged man with a feminine complexion said quietly, "It is said that when Chen Ke was undergoing the Seven Killing Secret Realm Trial at Haotian Academy, he stayed in the lowest level, the First Killing Zone, picking up discarded junk. This time when he's breaking through the Dragon Gate, I'm afraid he's hiding somewhere, just waiting for time to run out!"
There was a look of regret in Lu Changfeng's eyes, and he was asking himself in his heart, am I too harsh on Chen Ke?
In recent years, students who have passed the Dragon Gate Exam have repeatedly broken records, and many top students can even pass three levels in one day.
For example, his grandson Lu Qingyun passed the three levels in just nine hours.
However, there was not a single student who passed all five levels within three days.
Decades ago, he and Wu Jiutian had achieved this record, but that was based on their full understanding of the Seven Gates of Longmen and their careful preparation before taking action.
Lu Changfeng didn't know how well Chen Ke knew about the Seven Gates of Longmen, but he knew that Chen Ke had not made any preparations at all and had chosen to break through in a hurry.
Then his failure is understandable.
Perhaps from the very beginning, Chen Ke knew that there was no hope of success, so it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one and give himself a quick death?
While Lu Changfeng was lost in thought, the feminine middle-aged man spoke again, "Headmaster, the three-day deadline is coming. It seems that this time, we can only disappoint Headmaster Wu Jiutian."
Lu Changfeng glanced at the middle-aged man and said solemnly, "Since I have set conditions for Chen Ke, not only Chen Ke must abide by them, but I must too. If Chen Ke fails to pass the test, he will not be allowed to enter the Shenlong Mansion within one year!"
Buzz!
There was a row of crystal screens placed in front of the platform, and one of the screens suddenly made a buzzing sound.
Red and purple ripples appeared on the white screen surface.
Someone sent out a distress signal!
Lu Changfeng's heart trembled slightly, and the middle-aged man beside him changed his expression slightly.
"It's the signal from the Sixth Tiankeng!"
Without waiting for Lu Changfeng's order, the two elders strode into the rippling screen and disappeared in front of the screen in the blink of an eye.
Soon, ripples appeared on the surface of the tall screen again.
Chen Ke was wrapped in bubbles and came out from behind the screen with a whoosh.
The two elders then stepped through the screen and removed the bubble barrier protecting Chen Ke.
Chen Ke landed on the ground and looked at the seven large screens placed side by side in amazement.
The entrance to the teleportation array is made to look like a screen, which is very elegant.
Chen Ke walked up to Lu Changfeng and bowed his head, saying, "I greet you, Headmaster."
Lu Changfeng and the feminine middle-aged man looked at Chen Ke in amazement.
Chen Ke was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was a mess like a chicken coop, there were several bloodstains on his face, and the torn parts of his clothes were also stained with blood.
It looked like Chen Ke had gone through countless hardships and suffered torture to end up like this.
The surprise on Lu Changfeng's face gradually turned into anger, and finally he exploded in anger: "You don't strive for progress!"
Chen Ke couldn't help but smile awkwardly, he knew he couldn't fool the headmaster.
The tattered clothes on his body were the ones that had been torn earlier, and the bloodstains on his body were not his own, but came from different monsters.
The bloodstains on his face were real. When he was in the sixth pit, he had a fight with several monsters and suffered some minor injuries.
Chen Ke was also helpless. He was already a big shot that attracted attention. If he passed the five levels with ease, he would only be hated more.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hide your shortcomings and make yourself look a little embarrassed.
Because of this, he dragged the jade token until the last red line on it was about to disappear before he crushed the rescue jade token.
As for breaking records, that was certainly not within Chen Ke's consideration.
What he wants is substance, not appearance.
It didn't even matter to him whether he was a student of Shenlong or not. As long as he could enter Shenlong Pavilion, his goal would be achieved.
This is also what made Lu Changfeng angry. How could he not see that Chen Ke was full of energy? How could he not see that Chen Ke was deliberately making himself miserable?
Other students are eager to compete for every second in order to achieve good results.
But Chen Ke, this bastard, actually still has the mind to deal with these nonsense things.
Doesn't he know that every time the record of breaking through the Dragon Gate is refreshed, it is very important to the Great Xia Academy?
Although he was angry, Lu Changfeng didn't want to expose Chen Ke. He even partially agreed with Chen Ke's cover-up.
He looked at the feminine middle-aged man beside him and said, "Teacher Luo, Chen Ke sent out a distress signal within the stipulated time limit. Moreover, he sent the signal from the sixth celestial pit. He has obviously passed the fifth level. What do you think?"
Luo Linhai, the chief instructor of the Daxia Academy, was still in shock, staring at Chen Ke in a daze.
Chen Ke actually passed? !
Even if he had the strength to sweep away three hundred students, and he beat Lu Qingyun with a rogue style of fighting, how could he possibly pass?
Suddenly realizing he had lost his composure, Luo Linhai coughed and said slowly, "Although Chen Ke has passed the test, Daxia Academy has never had a freshman become a Shenlong student. Therefore, I believe that Chen Ke can only be considered a non-staff member and needs further assessment."
Although Luo Linhai's words were just an excuse, Lu Changfeng had no intention of making Chen Ke a student of Shenlong Pavilion. He nodded and looked at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, we have an agreement. Now that you have passed the test, you can freely refer to the classic books in Shenlong Pavilion."
"Thank you, Principal, and thank you, Instructor!" Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and bowed.
As long as he can enter the Shenlong Pavilion, he doesn't care whether he is a Shenlong student or not.
Lu Changfeng handed a document to Chen Ke: "Your admission procedures have been completed. According to your wishes, you have been assigned to the School of Engineering. The specific subject will depend on your personal preference."
This is not my wish at all, but the wish of Mountain Master Wu Jiutian, okay?
But Chen Ke didn't object. He was an engineering student in his previous life, so it could be considered his fate.
In the Daxia Academy, the School of Engineering is unpopular, but the students there are relatively simpler and there are not so many right and wrongs.
The reason why Wu Jiutian let him enter the deserted technical college was probably based on this consideration.
Otherwise, if he entered the martial arts academy, the literary academy, or the painting academy, I'm afraid that someone would cause trouble for him every day and there would be fights every day.
The School of Engineering has many disciplines, from the most basic forging and magic modification to the most advanced formations and runes, fifty or eight disciplines, but they are closely related to each other.
Chen Ke has decided that he will choose the "magic reform" subject.
Firstly, he can directly use the Fuyao Shenzhou as a reference. With the two verified, he can activate more modules of the Shenzhou faster.
Secondly, of course, it is related to the newly generated applet of the mouse.
With a powerful weapon like the "Array Simulator", any modified components and mechanisms can be used as models for simulation and deduction.
Let's start with the basics. Chen Ke suddenly felt that he really needed to learn something at the Daxia Academy.
After Lu Changfeng and Luo Linhai left, Chen Ke suddenly thought of something and asked the two elders, "Elders, can I have the nine crystals that I embedded in the stone gate of the fifth level back?"
