Halfway up the mountain.
Three scholars were walking together.
"Whoosh-Whoosh-"
"Zhu…Brother Zhu, Brother Huang, hang on a little longer, we will soon reach the Ni Shan Academy.”
Liang Shanbo walked at the front. His legs felt like they were filled with lead. Every step he took, he had to take a deep breath.
The sweat-soaked inner lining stuck tightly to her skin.
The cold wind blew, like a knife cutting a needle.
That taste…
It really didn't feel good!
"Phew, I can't take it anymore!"
"Who is so crazy? They actually built the Academy on the peak?"
Zhu Yingtai was also exhausted. His cheeks were red and his chest was heaving up and down.
Although he liked to make a scene normally, he couldn't withstand such torment.
Mount Ni had nearly ten thousand stone steps.
If they were to climb from the foot of the mountain to the peak, it would take at least half a day.
Those who were physically weak could not even climb to the top in a day.
In other words.
The first test of the Academy was the Nishan Steps.
A physical test!
"Cough, cough…"
"Brother Liang, Ying Tai, I, I can't take it anymore. I really can't climb anymore. You guys go up first.”
Huang Liangyu clutched his chest and coughed violently.
Her constitution was even weaker than Zhu Yingtai's.
After all.
Huang Liangyu was the typical daughter of a wealthy family.
She was gentle and virtuous. She did not lose to anyone.
However, in terms of physical strength, he was probably just trash.
"Brother Huang, are you alright?"
Zhu Ying Tai couldn't rest and hurried to Huang Liang Yu's side, asking with a concerned expression.
Because both of them were women dressed as men.
Zhu Yingtai also changed the way he addressed her.
"Ying Tai, I really can't climb up anymore. You and Brother Liang go up first. I'll come after I'm done resting.”
"You must not wait for me, or else I will feel uneasy and have to climb up with you.”
Huang Liangyu pursed his lips and his face turned pale.
It looked like…
He was indeed exhausted.
"Alright then!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yingtai nodded and whispered into Huang Liangyu's ear,""Sister Yu, I'll wait for you at the Academy.”
After saying that.
Zhu Yingtai turned around and climbed up with Liang Shanbo.
At this moment.
Most of the students who went to Nishan Academy to study could not hold on any longer.
Some stopped halfway up the mountain, while others stopped at the shoulder of the mountain.
His initial high spirits had now turned into a pile of mud.
"The Nishan Academy really lives up to its reputation. It's so difficult to enter the gates of the academy.”
"Isn't that so? If he had known earlier, he would have exercised more before coming here.”
"I can't take it anymore! There were so many steps, who could climb all of them in one go?”
The students sat on the steps, leaning unsteadily. They could not help but complain.
The students from the northern countries were better off, but the local students of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were in a terrible state.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty advocated weakness, regardless of gender.
The more slender the waist, the more popular she was.
For example, Pan An and Wei Jie, which one of them wasn't physically weak and more charming than Xi Zi?
It was precisely because of this pursuit of beauty that many people began to follow suit from a young age, pursuing that kind of delicate beauty.
This also led to the strange scene of men being inferior to women in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After the empress ascended the throne, she started to rectify this kind of atmosphere.
However, the time taken to rectify it was too short, and it was impossible to completely change it in a short period of time.
The advantage of the students from the north was obvious.
Due to the constant wars, the northern countries all revered martial arts.
Their physical strength was obviously much better than the students of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Not long after.
Almost all the students who climbed to the front were from Northern Clothing.
Of course.
These people were all from the Five Barbarians, and there were very few Han students.
They were all children of nobles from various countries.
The reason why he came to Nishan Academy to study was also to learn the advanced Han culture.
When these people saw the panting students of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their eyes were more or less filled with disdain.
"Ha! With such poor physical strength, it was no wonder that they could not even protect their own country.”
"That's right. These East Jin students don't have any masculinity at all. On the battlefield, won't they be at the mercy of others?”
"Why do you still want to learn when you're so weak? Isn't it embarrassing enough?”
More and more students from all over the world mocked him.
Very quickly.
Some of the East Jin students couldn't stand it anymore.
"What did you say? Say that again?"
"You Hu have messed up the Han family, and you dare to speak so shamelessly in the Eastern Jin?”
"Humph! Sooner or later, we will take back the northern rivers and mountains!”
These brave Eastern Jin scholars were filled with righteous indignation.
"How preposterous!"
Liang Shanbo was also furious and couldn't help but want to argue.
"Brother Liang, calm down and conserve your strength. Whether he won or lost, he would decide after he entered the academy. There was no need to compete with them here.”
Zhu Yingtai's pretty face turned cold.
She didn't like these Hu either, but she didn't want to get involved in meaningless arguments.
Ever since the incident with the refugees outside Jiangxia City.
Zhu Yingtai seemed to be much more mature than before.
"This beauty is right. Only those who enter Mount Ni Academy have the right to compete.”
A clear and loud voice sounded, and the surrounding quarrels instantly fell silent.
Zhu Yingtai slowly raised his eyes and met a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
He didn't know when.
A man was standing in front of her.
He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes contained a smile.
His entire body emitted an unconcealed sharp aura.
