Expectation and nervousness intertwined in Chen An's heart, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Chen An nervously stared at the interface in front of him, feeling a strange feeling in his heart at this moment.
He felt like he was back to when he first awakened his interface.
At that time, his strength was weak, and energy acquisition was quite difficult. Every simulation felt like opening a mystery box, with a special sense of anticipation.
But this unique feeling gradually faded as his strength grew stronger, energy acquisition became easier, and the number of simulations increased.
But now, he felt like he had found this feeling he used to have.
No matter how nervous and expectant he was, things had to be done eventually.
Looking at the interface in front of him, Chen An finally clicked on confirm.
"Start projection?"
Confirm!
Without hesitation, he chose to confirm, and the change began to appear.
In front of Chen An, a scene of brilliance emerged, floating in front of his eyes, and then enveloping his whole body.
Then, in the confusion, his soul seemed to be plunged into darkness, and then once again bloomed with light.
Everywhere seemed like being in the sun, shining brightly in an instant!
At noon, the sunlight was just right everywhere.
Outside the Dahua Palace, the sound of recitation echoed.
It seemed like someone was reciting loudly, reciting the classics of saints here.
But outside, it was a completely different lively scene.
Inside the Dahua National Academy, there were people practicing everywhere.
Big and burly men stood there, looking strong and tall. They were either honing their strength or meditating, working hard to improve themselves.
The Dahua National Academy was a place for cultivating talents of the country, and only those who passed the test could enter.
However, there were also distinctions between literary and military talents here, and the place where they were now naturally belonged to the martial arts academy.
Compared to the literary academy, there were obviously more people in the martial arts academy.
This was quite normal.
With the chaos of various countries and Dahua located in the central heartland, suffering from constant military turmoil, martial arts naturally flourished in the country, and there were many descendants of military families. Therefore, this martial arts academy was also particularly prosperous.
Most of those who could enter this martial arts academy were talented individuals, and many of them were descendants of military families. Otherwise, they would not be able to enter the Dahua National Academy.
Bluntly speaking, the people here were all elites, and anyone would have to pay attention to them in the outside world.
The place that could accommodate these elites was naturally not an ordinary place.
In the past, this hall was a very solemn place, and if ordinary servants dared to step into this place, they would probably be killed on the spot.
However, at this moment, in the Dahua National Academy, an unexpected guest arrived.
"Is this the prestigious National Academy?"
Princess Dahua stood in front of the gate of the National Academy, looking at the people in front of her with some sarcasm.
In front of her, people were lying on the ground, with many of them bruised and swollen, clearly just having been dealt with.
"The prestigious National Academy, known for gathering the most talented people in the world, can't even handle one of my servants."
Cheng Yi looked at the fallen figures in front of her, her face filled with undisguised disappointment and disdain.
In front of her, a burly man stood there.
The burly man was tall and burly, with a body that was more than two meters tall. He wore a short shirt and wore an iron mask on his face, concealing his appearance.
At this moment, he stood in front of Cheng Yi, looking at the people in front of him coldly, although he didn't speak a word, he still had a kind of intimidating aura.
Facing the words of Princess Cheng Yi, the people around dared not speak out of anger.
If it were an ordinary person, if they dared to insult them like this, they would definitely retaliate and deal with that person.
But this person was different.
Princess Cheng Yi was the favorite daughter of the Dahua Emperor.
Who in the Dahua court didn't know that this princess was favored and arrogant? If anyone dared to provoke her, there would likely be big trouble later on.
They couldn't scold or hit back. Even if they were angry, they could only bear with it.
Otherwise, what else could they do?
"Boring."
After cursing in place for a while, Cheng Yi felt a bit bored and said casually, "The prestigious National Academy, can't even find a good man?"
"If someone defeats my servant, I will accept him as a guest, reward him with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred elixirs!"
With her words falling, some people were moved.
Despite Princess Cheng Yi's usual arrogance, but undoubtedly, she was the princess loved by the Emperor. If one could serve as a guest by her side, it would be much easier to make a name for oneself in the future.
With the resources of the royal family, many things were easily obtainable, such as secret techniques, divine weapons, etc.
Not to mention the rewards.
However, even though they were tempted, few dared to act.
After all, the previous competition had proven the strength of the person in front of them.
Those who didn't want to act had their own better prospects, and they didn't care about the princess.
But even if they didn't care, it was a different matter if they wanted to offend her.
Even if they had a strong background and powerful strength, it was unnecessary to offend the princess who was the favorite of the Emperor for such a trivial matter, wasn't it?
Those who could fight didn't want to take action, and those who wanted to take action couldn't win.
The situation fell into a stalemate.
After a moment, seeing no one speaking, Princess Cheng Yi snorted, feeling a little disappointed, "I thought the National Academy would cultivate the talents of the world, but it turns out they are all a bunch of useless idiots!"
"Ada, let's go!"
She turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait."
A gentle voice came from the courtyard beside them.
The people looked up and couldn't help but show some surprise on their faces.
Because the direction from which the voice came was not from the martial arts academy, but from the literary academy.
Under the gaze of everyone, a figure walked out from that direction.
He was a very young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tall and straight figure. He was wearing a standard gown from the literary academy, looking refined and polite.
He was handsome, with a demeanor like a gentleman, and walked out of the courtyard.
Looking at the young man in front of her, Princess Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
What a talented individual!
She secretly praised in her heart.
Indeed, the most important thing between people was the first impression.
Compared to the group of rough and rude men in the martial arts academy, the young man in front of her was more comfortable to be around.
First impressions really made a big difference.
It seemed that no matter when, good looks were always a plus.
The young man walked out of the literary academy, dressed like a scholar, handsome in appearance, but with a gentle look on his face, he said softly: "Greetings, Princess."
After bowing first, he spoke softly, "I wonder if what Princess said just now is true or not?"
"Of course it's true."
Looking at the young man in front of her, Princess Cheng Yi showed a hint of hesitation on her face, "But, I was talking about martial arts, not poetry."
As her words fell, she seemed to be afraid that the handsome young man in front of her would be embarrassed, she quickly added, "But, literary articles are also important, if you are willing, being a scribe by my side is also good."
Well, she has revealed her true nature now!
The people around looked at Princess Cheng Yi with some resentment. At this moment, their emotions were complicated, and they didn't know what to say.
They hadn't forgotten what Princess Cheng Yi looked like just now, how domineering and ruthless she was when she scolded them.
But now, to another person, she seemed so reasonable?
Can this world still be okay?
"Thank you, Princess, for your favor."
The young man's face was gentle, smiling as he said, "Although I am a student of the literary academy, I also have some knowledge in martial arts."
"If Princess doesn't believe me, why not let me try?"
"Alright."
Seeing the young man insist on it, Princess Cheng Yi hesitated for a moment, but nodded in the end.
A figure walked forward.
Ada stood in front of Princess Cheng Yi, his eyes cold and emotionless under the iron mask, without any unnecessary words, he directly aimed a punch at the young man in front of him.
Seeing the strength of the punch, if it hit hard, the young man with a seemingly weak figure wouldn't be able to bear it.
Seeing this, Princess Cheng Yi suddenly felt some regret.
I should have asked Ada to go easy.
What if he hurts the person, what should I do?
Will he hate me for this?
Various thoughts interwoven in her mind, mixed together in a mess.
However, an unexpected situation occurred.
In the field, facing Ada's punch, the young man smiled and just reached out his hand.
Bang!
The two fists collided head-on.
At first glance, although the young man's posture was tall and straight, he appeared skinny compared to the robust and iron-like Ada, making him look particularly weak.
The two stood side by side, and he looked like a minor.
Uh, although in reality, he was indeed a minor.
However, the collision between the two was completely unexpected.
Shocking force surged from in front of him.
Under Ada's incredulous gaze, the young man smiled and slowly moved forward.
A faint internal energy glowed in his hand, and in the end, he pushed Ada, who was like a giant, away.
With a light sound of bang, Ada's body fell to the ground.
It was the first time he had been knocked down by someone.
The people around were shocked.
Even in the depths of the martial arts academy, those who had been cultivating in seclusion had to stand up, looking at the young man in front of them with astonishment.
Facing their gazes, the young man's face didn't change at all, still wearing a faint smile, he simply arched his hand.
"I learned."
Expectation and nervousness intertwined in Chen An's heart, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Chen An nervously stared at the interface in front of him, feeling a strange feeling in his heart at this moment.
He felt like he was back to when he first awakened his interface.
