Chapter 55: Outer Sect Assessment (Part 1)
Li Mu, wearing the uniform uniform of the Qingxuan Sect's handyman disciples, successfully passed the questioning of the inner city guards and entered the inner city of Gangyang City, where purer spiritual energy hit his face.
As far as the eye can see, most of them are outer disciples wearing the outer sect clothes of Qingxuan Sect.
"Boy, are you here to take the outer disciple examination? Don't rush in, go and line up over there!" Li Mu was stopped by an outer disciple and pointed to the side door where a group of handyman disciples were queuing up.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice!" Li Mu gratefully thanked him, walked to the back of the queue of handyman disciples, and waited in line to enter.
“Why are so many people taking the assessment?”
“I don’t know how many people will pass today, I’m so nervous!”
“No! Isn’t it usually the disciples of the hunting reserve team who are in charge? ! Why did you change the official disciple?"
"It seems that the reserve team disciples suffered heavy losses due to lack of manpower."
"It's over! I will definitely not pass this test!”
...
Waiting at the back of the queue, Li Mu listened to the handyman disciples talking incessantly, each of them looking nervous, just like the scene when he took the driving test of Section 2 and Section 3 before, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
"Line up, don't mess around, enter one by one, leave if you are not ready, don't ask for trouble!" The door to the examination room opened, and an old man in charge appeared at the door exuding foundation-building spiritual pressure. , leading two outer disciples to maintain order.
Soon, the team of more than a hundred handyman disciples moved forward.
Li Mu walked into the examination room.
What they saw was an open space with five martial arts stages. Each stage had an outer disciple who was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, waiting for them.
“The assessment of the 123rd batch of outer sect disciples this year has officially begun. Let me tell you the assessment rules first. The outer sect disciples who advance to the next level must pass three assessments. The first level: the martial arts test, and the martial arts test. The disciples on the stage have performed in actual combat, and if they support thirty breaths, their evaluation is: pass; if they support one hundred breaths, their evaluation is: average; if they support three hundred breaths, their evaluation is: excellent," the foundation manager introduced as he looked around at the servant disciples on the scene.
"What if we defeat the challenger!" At this time, a voice from the audience asked everyone's doubts.
"This situation is not unheard of. If you can defeat the challenger, the evaluation will be: excellent. You will successfully pass three assessments and enter the disciple order. The reward will be: 100 points of sect contribution." The old man in charge of foundation building explained with a smile.
The old man in charge of Foundation Establishment paused for a moment, then introduced: "The second level, the technical test: tests the mastery of various cultivation skills, Talisman Maker: tests the skills of making talismans, Alchemist, tests the skills of alchemy, ..., the sect does not raise useless people, even if you take the hunting and cultivating route, you still have to test skills such as skinning, bone removal, trap placement, and monster tracking."
"The third level is the Questioning Heart Level. In this level, you need to enter the illusory formation and pass the assessment of Seeking the Way and Questioning the Heart."
"Outer disciples each have an opportunity to take the assessment once every three years. If you feel you are not ready yet, I advise you to You can leave on your own and come back when you are ready. If you are determined to take part in the assessment, please come forward and register now." After explaining the assessment content, the old man in charge of foundation building pointed at the registration office next to him.
As soon as the old man in charge of the Foundation Establishment finished speaking, the handyman disciples who came to take part in the assessment hesitated. They looked at the masters of the ninth level of Qi Refining on the ring, and many of them flinched.
"I sign up, handyman disciple-Tang Youfu, age: 32, seventh level of Qi refining,..."
"The champions are really from the official hunting team, that one is Pei Senior Brother Yong, I know him, he can’t pass this test!”
"Forget it! I'm not ready either. Let's come back next year!"
"..."
Those who signed up on the spot, those who backed down and left, and the handyman disciples all made the decision After a while, a third of the people left.
Soon, it was Li Mu's turn. He stepped forward and registered with the disciple who was responsible for registration: "Common servant disciple-Zhao Huairen, 18 years old, cultivation level: early stage of the seventh level of Qi refining, low-grade spiritual roots of the five elements. "
When Li Mu signed up to report his age and cultivation level, he couldn't help but attract the attention of the old man in charge of foundation building. When he heard that his spiritual root was the low-grade spiritual root of the Five Elements, he immediately turned his attention elsewhere.
It is very rare to have the seventh level of Qi refining at the age of 18, and it is relatively outstanding among the handyman disciples. However, if it is coupled with the low-grade five elements spiritual roots, there is nothing worth paying attention to!
"Guan Shiyuan, on the first stage, come on quickly!"
"Qi Zhongliang, on the second stage, come on quickly!"
......
One The disciples who were conducting the exams read out their names hurriedly, and the handyman disciples who were called came on the stage one after another to compete with the master of the ring. After Li Mu reported his name, he received a bronze token with 35 written on it and waited for his name to be called under the ring. At the same time, he watched the martial arts tests conducted by other disciples.
The handyman disciples who participated in the examination of the outer disciples were all at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They were at the seventh level of Qi Refining. There were few who were at the eighth level of Qi Refining. They faced the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Lord, he was almost in a state of being pressed and beaten.
The two sides in the ring were either playing swordsmanship or fighting each other with spells. Their figures were moving around, ups and downs, "ping ping ping pong...", it was a wonderful fight.
However, in Li Mu's view, they were just rookies pecking each other, and they were more than one level behind the intensity of the combat puppet battle.
Li Mu frowned, thinking about how to suppress his combat effectiveness and not to be too outstanding.
None of the five champions on the martial arts stage is his enemy. Li Mu just wants to gain the 'skin' of an outer disciple and be able to farm in the sect safely. He doesn't want to perform too well and cause other troubles.
"Qin Chengpeng, persisted for thirty-five breaths, passed!"
"Bao Jinggui, twenty-seven breaths, eliminated!"
......
< br>In the audience, the law enforcement disciples who registered the competition results reported their results one after another.
"Oh! I almost passed, just two breaths away!"
"Haha! It's so confusing! I almost didn't pass,..."
"Challenger No. 5 is so fierce, Don’t draw number 5!”
……
The martial arts exam is in full swing, those who have passed the exam, those who have failed the exam, and those who are waiting for the exam..., the atmosphere on the scene is tense and intense. .
"Zhao Huairen, No. 5, Zhao Huairen, come on quickly!" The exam-taking disciple holding the list looked for someone among the handyman disciples.
"Coming! Coming!" It took Li Mu a while to realize that he was calling him, and he rushed towards the No. 5 ring.
"Haha! That kid is so nervous!"
"I bet he will be knocked off the stage if he can't survive three moves!"
"He can still do it at this time. Distracted, convinced! ”
...
Seeing this scene, all the handyman disciples at the scene laughed happily.
“What’s so funny? I’ve already reached the seventh level of Qi refining at the age of eighteen.” At this time, the only female handyman disciple at the scene hugged and said unfairly.
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of the handyman disciples who were laughing at Li Mu suddenly disappeared.
This is so heartbreaking!
There are many handyman disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refining, all in their thirties, but not as advanced as an 18-year-old boy. It’s so annoying to compare one person to another!
No. 5 Arena
"Hello, senior brother, please give me some advice!" Li Mu took out a first-order dark iron sword from his storage bag and saluted the other party as a signal.
"Well! You attack first!" The disciple holding the sword gestured.
Li Mu nodded, holding the sword in his right hand, making a seal with his left hand, holding his fingers together, pointing forward against the Black Iron Sword.
With a "whoosh" sound, the Black Iron Sword flew out, and the sword attacked Fan Shaoyang, the challenger two feet away.
