Chapter 428 Recruiting a Disciple
In the underground palace lit by two rows of oil lamps, Wang Zhifan and a few teenagers who had not yet entered the tower only waited for a minute before the first person to be eliminated appeared.
That was a young man in green who suddenly appeared in front of the bronze door of the Black Tower. When he appeared, his childish face was full of astonishment, and he was lowering his head and checking his hands back and forth. Legs, as if they couldn't believe they were still intact.
"Young man, it's a pity that you failed to pass the test. You can return to the ground and go home now."
Wang Zhifan, who stood with his arms crossed next to the black tower, was still in a state of shock and confusion. The young man in green said, announcing his defeat.
The little boy who was looking down at his legs was suddenly frightened by the words coming from the side and jumped up. After he saw clearly that the speaker was Master Wu Zun, he begged Wang Zhifan with some embarrassment: < br>
"Master Wu Zun! Please give me another chance! This time I will never fall off the mountain again..."
But Wang Zhifan immediately became stern before he finished speaking. Zhidao:
"Stop! Each of you only has one chance! If you don't want to give up, come back to Wuzun Hall in two years! Now go up and find your elders!"
As a master, his aura was already extraordinary. Even if he only released less than one ten thousandth of it at this moment, the young man in green was so frightened that he shut up quickly, took two short legs and fled towards the entrance of the underground palace.
There is no way, the significance of the test set by Wang Zhifan is here. If everyone begs him and gives him a second chance, then how can he achieve his purpose of selecting outstanding disciples? Doesn’t it mean that we have to admit a lot of good and bad people?
In fact, the young man just performed poorly in the test. Wang Zhifan relied on his mysterious connection with the Black Tower to know that he fell and was eliminated while forcibly climbing the mountain road. This perfectly embodies his Insufficient qualifications.
For example, if he sees that the mountain road is steep, but only knows how to climb up without thinking about other ways to climb up, it means that he is not smart enough.
When he forcibly climbed up, he was so frightened that his body was shaking and his movements were unbalanced. He fell down before he could even climb a foot high, which shows that he also lacked courage and lacked physical coordination. To become a warrior The future is dim.
In short, although the test designed by Wang Zhifan is not particularly professional, it is enough to test whether a person has the qualifications he values.
He doesn't just decide to accept a disciple based on whether others pass the test. As long as he can show characteristics that satisfy him in the test, he may be accepted as a disciple.
But for someone like this one who exposed many shortcomings right from the start, forget it. He doesn’t want to delay others from finding another career.
At the same time as the first eliminated person left the underground palace, several teenagers who had stayed outside the tower also reacted and walked towards the brass door one after another.
"The man came out unscathed just now, which shows that there is no real danger inside..."
The commoner boy who was so nervous that he was sweating not long ago cheered himself up in his heart. , he should be a more cautious character, but he doesn't want to delay the test by delaying, so now he boldly walks towards the bronze door of the black tower.
Another girl in brocade clothes who was paid attention to by Wang Zhifan has a more unrestrained personality. She obviously noticed the important information about falling from the mountain mentioned by the boy who was eliminated before, so she now has some guesses in her mind about the content of the test. As soon as he accelerated a little, he rushed to the common boy and entered the copper gate first.
The same was true for the other teenagers. After seeing the teenagers who had the same doubts about the Black Tower as them going in one after another, they naturally could not force themselves to stay outside. Within a few seconds, they all joined the Black Tower. During the test of the tower.
"Yes...if these children continue to struggle and dare not enter the tower, I will eliminate them on the spot because they are indecisive and have no courage."
Wang Zhifan saw all the people entering. He thought about the situation of the tower with satisfaction, and then continued to focus on the nearly a hundred independent spaces inside the black tower, monitoring the progress of the teenagers at any time.
In fact, Black Tower has a very powerful multi-line recording function, which does not require him to watch it in real time. He can choose to retrieve the record after the results come out, but he still observes on-site from time to time. On the one hand, it is out of curiosity. On the other hand, it is also for safety and to prevent unexpected situations.
At this time, he adjusted his vision to the first person to enter the tower, that is, to observe the thin young man who rushed into the black tower without any scruples after following his instructions.
Based on the first impression, he thought this person would be a rather reckless character, but now he found that this guy is quite smart and talented.
According to the test record, after entering the test, this skinny boy immediately rejected the steep mountain road ahead of him. It only took him two minutes to find the hidden passage to the top of the mountain, and he has now crossed it. The passage reached the top of the mountain.
His performance on the top of the mountain was also remarkable. He did not rush up to reveal his whereabouts. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation very carefully. He discovered the BOSS demon before he discovered him, and did not do anything because of it. The BOSS looks scary and panicked. He is hiding in the dark and thinking about how to deal with this opponent.
Wang Zhifan noticed that the skinny boy's eyes were wandering between the weapons on the ground behind the demon and the giant bird in the distance. It can be speculated that he had already thought of several solutions.
Moving away from this tester who was making good progress, Wang Zhifan then observed several other teenagers who entered earlier.
He saw one of them trying to climb the mountain path and was about to approach the top of the mountain. However, an eagle happened to fly up and attack him at this time, causing a lot of interference to him. He was already on the verge of collapse. Falling down the mountain path in a huge crisis.
Another young man was even more unlucky. He finally climbed to the top of the mountain with several peck wounds on his body. As soon as he climbed up, he was discovered by a nearby demon. At this time, he was running away frantically, and his physical strength was very low. It was consumed rapidly, and it was about to be caught up and completely torn apart by the demon.
There was another young man who was also in trouble. When Wang Zhifan looked at him, he found that he was lying on the back of a giant bird and being carried around by the giant bird. He might not be able to catch the giant bird in the next second. Feathers and transformed into a flying man.
In this case, you were not careful enough when you hitchhiked a giant bird to the top of the mountain, and accidentally angered the giant bird. It is hard to say how big the chance of remediation will be later.
There were a total of ninety-nine tests with different conditions. Wang Zhifan only briefly inspected about thirty of them before he suddenly turned his attention and looked inside the underground palace, because someone was out again, and they were out all at once. Three.
"You three have not passed the test. Go back to the hall and leave with your elders."
This time, Wang Zhifan deliberately spoke in a harsher style, so that these three teenagers Not even daring to say a word, they all walked towards the underground palace gate dejectedly.
This kind of treatment may be a bit strict for children, but the screening is so cruel. They all know where they failed and will not think that they have been wronged and buried. Even if they say they are not convinced, they must be convinced in their hearts. . "It is estimated that it will be time for large-scale elimination soon. At present, I have not found anyone who is satisfied with the elimination. I wonder if such talents will appear in the future."
Wang Zhifan just asked the three teenagers to leave. He didn't just declare them to be eliminated simply because they failed to pass the test. He made the decision after taking a quick look at each person's test records before making the decision.
If an eliminated person performs very well in a certain aspect during the test, he will also accept him as a disciple.
In this way, as time passes slowly and unhurriedly, more and more teenagers are forcibly transferred out of the Black Tower, facing their fate of failure.
Many of them were accidentally eliminated when they encountered interference at the last moment of climbing the steep mountain path, and some were immediately confused after seeing the terrifying demon on the top of the mountain. The speed of light was in vain when the devil didn't force them too much.
Wang Zhifan sentenced these young men who wanted to practice martial arts to give up their dreams and return to their respective families. His standards for recruiting disciples were not very strict, but the talents displayed by these people really could not impress him.
It wasn't until half a cup of tea that the first tester who truly passed the level and satisfied him appeared.
Wang Zhifan had already had the impression that he was the one who communicated with Xuan Zhenzi for two players in the hall some time ago. It happened that at that time, Xuan Zhenzi touched the bones and praised the extraordinary young man.
This young man is taller and stronger than others of his age. His skin is slightly darker and has a slightly "copper skin" feel. Physically speaking, he may be the most suitable for practicing martial arts among this group of students. , and his performance in the test did not disappoint.
Wang Zhifan can know from the Black Tower records that as soon as he entered the test, he chose to climb the steep mountain road in front of him to reach the top, but he did have the strength, even if the test automatically increased the difficulty because he climbed too fast , arranged for him four eagles to stop him, he solved the trouble very calmly, and reached the top of the mountain with minor injuries despite the interference.
His performance was even more outstanding when facing the demon on the top of the mountain. Not only did he not panic at all when he saw the terrifying demon, he also took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the demon, directly overwhelming the enemy with his momentum. .
If that were the case, Wang Zhifan would not be particularly satisfied with his evaluation of him as brave or reckless. It was his subsequent performance that moved him.
First of all, because of the special setting of the test, the demon this boy faced was also a bit stronger than him in strength, and it was much stronger than the demon faced by other testers. , the pressure he endured was at the same level as other testers.
What is commendable is that this young man did not panic after discovering that he could not defeat the demon head-on, nor did he bite the bullet and fight for his life. He was calm and calm, and he changed his mind as soon as he found that he was unable to defeat him. Battle strategy.
He first went around behind the demon to seize the weapon and continued fighting. After finding that it was still not safe enough, he gradually guided the demon to the edge of the cliff while the two parties were dealing with each other. Finally, he seized the opportunity and knocked down the demon with a stick. He fell off the cliff and fell to his death on the sharp rocks below, completing the level at the cost of almost minor injuries.
If we give an overall evaluation, in Wang Zhifan's opinion, this young man belongs to the type of person who has very good physical fitness and is also very talented in fighting. This kind of person is a good material for practicing martial arts. If he If your understanding of martial arts is high enough, you can be called a martial arts genius.
"You performed well in the test, are you willing to be my disciple?"
At this time, in the underground palace illuminated by the light of the oil lamp, in the envious eyes of more than a dozen young people who were judged to be eliminated by Wang Zhifan, Wang Zhifan He looked down at the tall, muscular young man with slightly darker skin.
"Master, please accept my disciple Qin Quan's obeisance!"
The tall, strong, copper-skinned young man was very enlightened, and he showed with practical actions on the spot that he wanted what he wanted.
"Well, there is no need to be polite. Go up there and find the Taoist who touched your bones and ask him to arrange your accommodation. I will formally teach you martial arts tomorrow."
Wang Zhifan immediately waved his hand and asked the first disciple to go through the formalities. After all, as the master of Wuzun Palace, he was only responsible for the core aspects. Some trivial matters were currently being helped by others. He himself did not need to pay attention to the details. .
In fact, if he wanted to, even the disciple selection process could be completed by Qingyangzi's disciples, but Wang Zhifan felt that even if he was destined to be a passerby, he couldn't be too casual, so he set his own test Project to select disciples that you are satisfied with.
After the first disciple was confirmed, the successors were forcibly transferred out by the Black Tower one after another, but they failed to meet Wang Zhifan's standard for accepting disciples.
Wang Zhifan also retrieved their test records and browsed them separately. There were also some young talents with acceptable qualifications, but unfortunately, they all appeared after the talented young man Tan Quan just now.
If they could come out earlier, Wang Zhifan might accept them for training because of their bright spots in the test, but after Qin Quan appeared, Wang Zhifan's vision was naturally raised.
He does not require every disciple to be as talented as Tan Quan, but he certainly cannot be too different. This leads to a situation where young people who had hoped to reach his original standards encountered a sudden increase in the standard line, just like the capricious Fate played a joke on the unlucky guy.
It wasn't until the first batch of people came out of the black tower that Wang Zhifan selected a total of three disciples, including Tan Quan, who was the first to be confirmed.
The other two lucky winners are both people whom Wang Zhifan has an impression of.
One of them is a skinny boy who was the first to enter the black tower. This guy is a particularly agile type. It took him a long time to achieve the achievement of clearing the level without any damage. The way he passed the level was to provoke the devil. He fought with the giant bird on the top of the mountain and used the power of the giant bird to kill the demon without being touched by the demon once.
The other one was the girl in brocade who had not entered the Black Tower in the first round before. Wang Zhifan found that this girl should be the strongest among the first hundred people because she already had entry-level Taoist cultivation. Flying to the top of the mountain to fight demons, there is no need to climb or find secret passages.
The demon she faced was also powerful and had considerable flying ability, but this girl was very good at fighting. She just relied on her own operation to beat the demon to death with one palm after another. It can be said that all The only one among the testers who relied on his superior combat skills to defeat the demon head-on is a genius.
Wang Zhifan thought at that time that this little girl was just joking when he came to him. She might be a direct descendant of one of the three great gates of Tianyuan City.
As a result, the little girl said that her cultivation was inherited from her family. She had only been to Tianyuan City with her family for a few days. She originally planned to go to Zhenxu Palace to seek Taoism, but she was also very interested in martial arts and knew about Wuzun Palace. If you are recruiting disciples, come over and give it a try.
