Chapter 131 Striving for first place and the start of the assessment (please subscribe)
"Xin'er, your opponent in the first round is Jin Mo, a member of the Jin family. This person is at the seventh level of Qi training. You don't need to use it. In the Hundred Sword Formation, just use the Golden Light Talisman Sword Formation to deal with him!"
"If there are no accidents in the second round, continue to use the Rune Sword Formation, and wait until the third round to use the Portable Sword Formation!"
"In addition, this is the second-level high-grade Heqi Pill with two elixir patterns that I refined. After you finish the competition, you can take it as soon as possible to restore your cultivation."
Wang Yu, Maple Leaf Courtyard He introduced the competition situation to Zhou Ling and Wang Xin with a serious look on his face.
In her opinion, whether it is Zhou Ling or Wang Xin, there will not be much problem in terms of technique. On the contrary, one should be careful in this fighting method.
Especially Zhou Ling, due to his low cultivation level, the opponents he faced were more in the upper half of the area and were relatively strong.
"Mom, can Brother Ling use this Golden Light Sword Talisman Array?"
Wang Xin asked with a smile.
She didn't worry much about her own affairs. Instead, she was more concerned about the situation Zhou Ling encountered.
"Brother Ling is not an array mage. When using this golden sword talisman array, the activation speed is too slow and there is no advantage." Wang Yu shook his head.
Looking at Zhou Ling again, "Your opponent this time is not weak, but be careful."
"Yes, Aunt Wang!" Zhou Ling replied respectfully.
After discussing with brother and sister He Zijian yesterday, he also learned a lot of information about other assessment disciples.
Everyone has different trump cards in their hands, so he doesn’t dare to be careless.
Apart from anything else, just like He Lingyun's Haoyang Bird, Wang Xin's Rune Sword Formation and Portable Sword Formation, these are not something ordinary casual cultivators can block.
However, I now have a lot of means, and with the Erdanwen Heqi Pill provided by Aunt Wang, the recovery speed will be accelerated a bit.
It can be regarded as a shortcoming to make up for the low cultivation level.
Of course, his low level of cultivation is relative. Although he is only at the sixth level of Qi training, the spiritual power in his body, tempered by the flames, has become pure and powerful, no less than the ordinary seventh level of Qi training.
Of course, the gap between him and a monk like He Zijian, who is at the ninth level of Qi training and whose spiritual energy is equally pure and strong, is still obvious.
Looking at Zhou Ling and Wang Xin, Wang Yu continued to analyze some of their opponents' situations with them.
From the analysis of her eyes, there are obvious differences from He Zijian and the others.
This also benefited Zhou Ling a lot.
“Since there are only two places admitted to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, you must work hard to get the first place in either the technique test or the fighting test.”
Finally, Wang Yu looked serious again. said.
With the means she has prepared for her daughter, she has a good chance of entering the top four.
After all, with the help of this portable Hundred Sword Formation, Wang Xin has a great chance of winning against ordinary opponents.
With other formation methods, it is entirely possible to enter the top four.
As for Zhou Ling, although his cultivation level is low, he is practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue". The spiritual power in his body is endless, and he will never suffer against a monk in the late stage of Qi training.
And the rich combat experience was completely beyond her expectations.
Therefore, she has to set higher goals for them.
Avoid slacking off during the assessment.
"Mom, we can strive for first place!"
Wang Xin asked in a low voice.
Her performance in cultivation has always been among the best since she was a child. As for whether she is number one, she has not paid much attention to it.
Zhou Ling also looked at Wang Yu in surprise. He didn't expect that Wang Yu would have such high demands on them!
"Just try your best to fight for it!"
Wang Yu said seriously.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Wang, we will go all out!”
Zhou Ling said decisively.
Defeating He Zijian in [Illusion Simulation] greatly increased his confidence.
With this fighting strength, it is hard to say whether he can win the first place, but he still has confidence that he can enter the semi-finals.
·······.
At dusk, when he returned home, Li Ru had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
As the assessment date approaches, Zhou Ling’s daily meals have now been upgraded to a higher level.
They are all spiritual food, and they are all spiritual food that contains a lot of spiritual energy.
After a meal, the ingredients alone are worth several spiritual stones.
Fortunately, the wine shop is doing well now.
They can afford this kind of expense.
“Mom, you don’t have to eat these spiritual foods every day!”
Zhou Ling said while chewing on the chicken drumstick.
"Ling'er, just prepare for the assessment and don't worry about the rest!"
Li Ru served him another large bowl of chicken soup and said with a smile.
“This is a basket of spiritual eggs sent from Lao Xu. Lao Xu doesn’t know where he heard the news, saying that Ling’er will not be the opponent of the An family disciple.”
"It seems that some casinos outside have even opened the market, and they all think that the other party will definitely beat Ling'er."
"Lao Xu and the others were not convinced, so they collected some spiritual stones and bought Ling Ersheng!"
Zhou Shan shook his head and said while drinking the spiritual wine.
“Hey, it’s not easy for Lao Xu and the others to earn some spiritual stones!” Li Ru also shook his head.
"Dad, why don't we do something too!"
Hearing that this happened, Zhou Ling suddenly became energetic.
These days, he spent a lot of spiritual stones to buy magical swords, elixirs and the like.
I am worried that I have no way to earn more spiritual stones.
If you win by pushing yourself, you should be able to make some money.
"No, these are the orders opened by black market gambling houses. Once found, it may affect your status in the assessment!"
Zhou Shan killed Zhou Ling's opportunistic idea. .
"Okay!"
Zhou Ling thought for a while, and his father made sense.
There is no need for you to sacrifice yourself for the small gain.
"Ling'er, don't think so much, just try your best!"
"No matter what the result is, we all believe in you!"
Li Ru's eyes showed concern.
Zhou Ling smiled and nodded.
After eating, go back to your room to practice.
However, thinking that the assessment was coming soon, Zhou Ling could not feel at ease for a while.
After thinking about it, I feel a little concerned about gains and losses.
This assessment is undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to change his destiny.
If you fail to pass, you can only continue to practice in Lingxia Sect.
Future achievements are likely to be limited.
So, no matter what, I must seize this opportunity.
In terms of technique assessment, I still have a great advantage with the assistance of the Five Elements Spirit Flame.
In terms of fighting skills, you cannot be careless.
After all, the people we faced were basically the children of aristocratic families, with considerable strength and means.
And with this elimination system, if someone accidentally loses, he will be out.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't calm down. Zhou Ling simply poured a cup of spiritual tea and drank it while checking the information of the disciples who participated in the assessment.
Especially those disciples who are very likely to meet him.
······．
On June 7th, dawn breaks in the sky.
A sudden heavy rain last night swept away the heat of these days.
The air is particularly refreshing at the moment.
Breathing in the fresh moist air, Zhou Ling could not help but feel refreshed.
Today is the day of the Sixth Avenue Academy assessment.
The assessment location is the square located at Lingxia Mountain, the main peak of Lingxia Sect.
The Zhou family is still some distance from Lingxia Mountain.
After breakfast in the morning, the family got into the hired carriage and drove towards Lingxia Mountain.
After burning incense, they came to Lingxia Mountain.
The towering and continuous mountain peaks stand tall and majestic, extremely majestic and vast, and full of spiritual energy.
The various palaces and pavilions of Lingxia Sect are built along the mountain, with towering ancient trees, red walls and yellow tiles, showing their grandeur.
At the top of the mountain, there is a hall shrouded in mist, which is mysterious and solemn.
Passing through the majestic mountain gate is the end of a straight bluestone road. It is the square of Lingxia Sect.
Under the early morning sun, the floor paved with white jade shines with a warm light.
Center of the square.
There are separate assessment platforms.
Similar to the last first-level technical mage assessment.
Although it is still early, there are already many people in the square.
Many disciples who looked about the same age as him were walking back and forth, and seemed to be more nervous than him.
"Brother Zhou, Sister Ru, you came here so early!"
At this time, Wang Yu and Wang Xin came over.
"Uncle Zhou! Like auntie!"
Wang Xin also followed Zhou Shan and his wife to see the ceremony.
The two parties briefly exchanged greetings. Wang Yu looked at Zhou Ling and smiled, "Don't be nervous, just show what you have learned!"
"Although there are one hundred and two people participating this time, There are eighteen people, but less than half can pass the Tiangong Division's first-level certification."
"Besides, you are still a Tiangong Guard, and they are the ones who need to be nervous!"
"Yes, Aunt Wang!" Zhou Ling nodded.
After a while, six monks in different costumes walked up to the judges' table.
Suddenly, people's eyes were attracted to them in the square.
Zhou Ling also followed people's gazes, and he had seen two of the six people.
They are Deacon Qin and the beautiful Lu Inspector from the Tiangong Division.
The other four people, three men and one woman, have strong auras.
“They are all teachers from the Fourth Avenue Academy and are responsible for scoring this assessment!”
"One of the middle-aged men in gray robes is Hu Jiaoxi from Xuanyuan Taoist Academy. He is a second-grade weapon refiner and alchemist."
Wang Yu introduced to Zhou Ling and the others in a low voice.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but look at this middle-aged man in a black robe, with a Chinese character face, a slightly fat body, and slightly squinted eyes.
"There is still one more time to burn the incense, and the assessment will begin. All disciples, according to the jade cards in your hands, enter your respective assessment stages!"
On the judges' bench, there was a young man wearing a mysterious robe. Said slowly.
The loud voice was heard extremely clearly by everyone in the square.
"Xin'er, be careful!"
Zhou Ling and Wang Xin encouraged.
Wang Xin nodded, and then the two of them walked to the assessment table.
On the assessment table, Zhou Ling quickly found his seat and sat down.
The configuration on the stone platform in front is almost the same as the last first-level technical mage assessment.
Only this time, instead of introducing earth fire, there was a rune on each jade platform.
This is a first-grade high-grade flame rune, and its quality is better than that of earth fire.
It is also relatively fair.
After all, when it comes to controlling earth fire, everyone has different proficiency levels, and their power is still different.
If you use Fuhuo, it's basically the same starting line.
Zhou Ling quickly checked the tools on the jade platform.
After a while, as the ancient and distant bell rang, the assessment officially began.
A faint white mask rose around Zhou Ling.
The things sealed on the jade platform were also opened.
In addition to spiritual pens, spiritual paper, spiritual ink, etc., there are also two utensils inside.
A triangle alchemy furnace and a jade sword.
It looks like the materials are excellent.
Zhou Ling first picked up the animal skin paper that contained the test questions. It recorded the seals to be refined for this test.
“First-grade high-quality fire wood imprint and golden light imprint!”
Putting down the animal skin paper, Zhou Ling murmured.
The Fire Wood Seal is composed of two seals with twenty-three inscriptions, namely the Condensing Fire Seal and the Wood Qi Seal.
The golden light imprint is composed of two twenty-four imprints, namely the golden light imprint and the escape light imprint.
Obviously the latter is far more difficult than the former.
After all, with each additional inscription, the difficulty will increase a lot.
And there is also an uncommon light-escape imprint.
Of course, this golden seal is the so-called bonus assessment.
Choose to draw the Golden Seal, which has a higher rating than the Fire and Wood Seal.
However, the premise is that it can be successfully refined.
This kind of twenty-four lines composite imprint is a rare imprint and must be successfully refined within the specified time.
It is undoubtedly very difficult.
Zhou Ling glanced around and found that almost all the disciples taking the exam had picked up the alchemy furnace.
Although the score of Fire Wood Seal is a little lower, relatively speaking, the difficulty is also obviously low.
And if the refining is successful, the quality will be good, and the score may not be lower than the golden imprint.
“Aunt Wang said that to ensure the top three in the assessment, you still have to choose the extra mark imprint!”
Zhou Ling didn't think much and began to carefully observe the golden imprint.
[You are observing the golden imprint, intermediate observation +1, golden imprint proficiency +3]
[You are analyzing the golden imprint, intermediate analysis +1, golden imprint proficiency Degree +3】
After a while, Zhou Ling roughly understood the key points of drawing this golden imprint.
The two imprint nodes are quite difficult to draw.
Zhou Ling thought carefully for a while, then picked up the magic pen and began to draw.
After a while, green smoke appeared on the spiritual paper.
The first drawing failed!
However, Zhou Ling looked calm and carefully observed the lines on the spirit paper.
[You are observing the Golden Light Imprint, Intermediate Observation +1, Golden Light Imprint Proficiency +3]
[You are analyzing the golden seal, intermediate analysis +1, golden seal proficiency +3]
Soon, he had a way to improve it.
And this time on the assessment stage, most of the other disciples participating in the assessment are still groping for the materials of the two utensils.
Only Zhou Ling has started drawing directly. After all, he has two talents for observation and analysis, and he can clearly understand the materials of the two instruments at a glance.
This is also his great advantage.
And this speed also allowed him to attract the attention of the judges.
"Senior Brother Hu, that little guy is Zhou Ling who, as I told you, has mastered the second-grade spiritual flame at a very young age!"
"And it is also an extremely rare five elements. Spirit flame! "
Lu Yunxi followed the middle-aged man in black robe and whispered.
“Oh, it’s too hasty to start drawing so quickly!”
Looking at Zhou Ling with a frown, Hu Jiaoxi said doubtfully.
You must know that when drawing imprints, it is very important to grasp the materials.
If you don’t observe the equipment carefully and make a slight mistake, you will fail.
After all, observation equipment is also part of the assessment.
“This?” Lu Yunxi blinked, his expression also a little confused. This little guy can’t be so careless.
Wouldn't you treat these specially refined tools as ordinary tools?
If this is the case, then go back and carve the imprint. Even with the help of spiritual flames, it is likely to fail.
"This little guy may have his own way of observation!" Lu Yunxi could only say with a wry smile.
In addition to participating in the scoring assessment of the Six Avenues Courtyard this time, she also has another main task, which is to recommend candidates for the Tiangong Division's entry assessment.
For Zhou Ling, she was very impressed because of the Five Elements Spirit Flame.
Plus Deacon Qin’s strong recommendation.
So Zhou Ling is also the one she focuses on.
Looking at Zhou Ling's proficiency in writing, Hu Jiaoxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded and said, "Let's take a look first!"
