Xu Ning arrived at the waiting area.
There is a temporary shed with tables and seats.
There was water and food on the table. It was obvious that Zhuang Li had also considered the issue of replenishing the physical fitness of the selected candidates.
When Xu Ning arrived at the waiting area, there were already more than ten people here.
Among them was Tao Jingxing's eldest granddaughter and Tao Ye's older sister Tao Jin.
The reason why Xu Ning knew Tao Jin was because of her reputation as a genius, second only to Tao Qingyuan in Taojiazhuang, and she was also a formidable character.
Xu Ning greeted some acquaintances, and nodded with Tao Jin.
Afterwards, Xu Ning found a place to sit down and stopped talking.
Although the two assessments have been passed, the final result has not yet been determined, and it is difficult for everyone to relax.
"Xu Ning, you came here earlier than me?"
At this time, Tao Qingping, who had just passed the examination, also came over, and he was surprised to see Xu Ning who appeared here earlier.
But soon, Tao Qingping seemed to think of something, he slapped his forehead: "Yes, your Gale Blade technique has been mastered, and you must pass the test faster than me."
"You are not bad either. You can pass two tests in a row. Among the younger generations in Taojiazhuang, you are also the best."
Xu Ning said some polite words.
Tao Qingping was indeed somewhat beyond Xu Ning's expectations. When he first met Tao Qingping, he looked even more inconspicuous than himself at the time.
"It's really not easy..."
Seeing that there was water, Tao Qingping drank a glass of water and sat next to Xu Ning.
He subconsciously glanced at the information sheet in Xu Ning's hand.
In the field of internal strength, Xu Ning is in the state of muscles and bones.
Tao Qingping's eyes widened, thinking he had made a mistake, so he took a closer look.
"Muscle and bone realm?"
Tao Qingping looked at Xu Ning, and tried his best to lower his voice: "It's been less than two months since you practiced the Spring Breeze Jue, and you've already reached the Muscle and Bone Realm?"
"lucky."
Xu Ning smiled and didn't explain too much.
Seeing Xu Ning like this, Tao Qingping felt very uncomfortable.
I was promoted to the strength training realm, but my family spent a lot of property before, replacing myself with an expensive elixir, in order to enter the black armor guard.
And with his day and night training and the blessing of precious elixir, he has only just reached the state of strength training.
But Xu Ning was already at the bone level.
"Gefeng sword technique is great, and the spring breeze is in the state of muscles and bones..."
Tao Qingping has already realized that now Xu Ning is catching up with the two top talents in Taojiazhuang, Tao Qingyuan and Tao Jin.
"It's horrible..."
Tao Qingping kept muttering in his heart.
Not only Tao Qingping, but also Tao Jin, who was sitting very close to them, also heard the conversation between the two.
Tao Jin's face changed slightly, and she glanced sideways at Xu Ning calmly.
It took less than two months to cultivate the Spring Breeze Jue to the muscle and bone level, this speed of practice, it seems that Tao Qingyuan has not been able to do it.
Before Tao Jin knew Xu Ning's name, it was his grandfather Tao Jingxing who praised Xu Ning's courage to sacrifice his life to save others. At that time, Xu Ning only had the label of "loyalty" in Tao Jin's heart.
And now, there is one more label.
genius.
A genius comparable to Tao Qingyuan.
Tao Jin's heart began to feel a little uneasy.
When the critical moment came, those seemingly inconspicuous characters appeared one by one.
"Anyway, I'm only eighteen years old this year, and I've already achieved a great deal of external strength, and my internal strength has reached the third level of the Mortal Realm, and the Inner Prosperity Realm. No one in Tao Village can compare to me except Tao Qingyuan."
When I found out that someone was gradually catching up with me, the self-identification mechanism in my heart began to function unconsciously.
"In the practice of internal strength, every time you advance to a level, the difficulty of re-promotion will increase again. Now I have reached the peak of the Inner Prosperity Realm, and I am only one step away from the fourth-level Qi Sense Realm of the Mortal Realm. Not as good as me, Tao Qingyuan will also be left behind by me..."
Unconsciously, Tao Jin clenched her fists tightly.
Xu Ning was sitting on the side, and vaguely felt that Tao Jin next to him was a little strange.
He clearly noticed Tao Jin peeking at him.
Turning to look at Tao Jin, Xu Ning found that her expression had been changing slightly, as if she was restraining an emotion.
After lowering his head, his fists clenched again.
"I should have heard the conversation between Tao Qingping and me..."
Xu Ning also guessed the reason, he was just puzzled that Tao Jin had such an abnormal reaction.
The two are not familiar with each other. Even though they know each other exists, they have never spoken.
Just because Tao Jin knew that she entered the country faster, she became a little...
Abnormal
Xu Ning suddenly felt that he was worrying too much.
Perhaps Tao Jin really wanted to do the third assessment.
After that, Xu Ning didn't think too much, and waited with Tao Qingping for the next examiner.
Another half an hour passed.
There were already nearly forty people in the waiting area at this time.
There are more than 200 people participating in the assessment today, and about 20% of those who passed the first two assessments, the elimination rate is still relatively high.
"The previous notice said that the number of black armor guards to be selected this time is 20, which means that nearly half of them will be eliminated in the final qualification assessment..."
Xu Ning was thinking in his heart.
At this time, another black armored guard came.
"Congratulations, everyone."
The black armored guard said: "Next, the last aptitude test, everyone follow me."
Under the leadership of the black armored guard, forty people lined up and walked towards the center of the school field.
There, a wooden shelf has already been set up, and the elders of the Tao clan, Xia Yuanxing and others have already sat down around.
Here, the last assessment award was witnessed by them together.
"Tao Jin, you look a little nervous."
It was Tao Qingyuan who spoke, and with his aptitude, he naturally passed the examination with ease.
"I'm not nervous, I'm just curious about what the qualification test will look like."
Tao Jin was in front of Tao Qingyuan.
Tao Qingyuan listened and didn't say much.
Although he knew that Tao Jin had always regarded himself as the greatest imaginary enemy, in Tao Qingyuan's heart, Tao Jin was just a somewhat sensitive sister of the same clan.
"Xu Ning, I'm a little nervous."
Tao Qingping said to Xu Ning.
He passed the first two levels before, and the process was very difficult, and if he was not careful, he would be eliminated.
From the bottom of his heart, Tao Qingping felt that his talent was mediocre, so facing the third test, his heart was pounding.
"Relax."
Xu Ning could only comfort her in this way.
In fact, Xu Ning also had this idea.
His predecessor's talent in martial arts was even worse than Tao Qingping's, and he hadn't achieved any success in Gale Wind Saber Technique for two or three years.
It is unknown whether he can pass the third assessment.
But Xu Ning's mentality is better than Tao Qingping's.
Even if you fail the assessment, at most you have fewer resources, slower entry, and fewer backers.
With the martial arts panel, my future path is still broad.
"Circle in place and sit down."
The black armor guard of the organization gave everyone the next step.
Xu Ning sat down with everyone.
They were surrounded by clan elders and black armored guards, and in front of them was a shelf for putting things, but at the moment there was nothing on it, it was empty.
Soon, several black armored guards carried an object covered by a cloth.
The object is very large, its outline looks like a circle, and it also looks very heavy. Even if several black armored guards lift it together, it seems a bit difficult.
bang.
The object was placed on the shelf.
"Captain Xia, what exactly is this?"
The one who asked the question was Tao Jingxing who was sitting on the side.
Yesterday, the Black Armored Guard had already sent the props for testing people's aptitude to Taojiazhuang.
But this prop has been covered up before, and none of the elders in Taojiazhuang can guess what it is.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanxing chuckled and didn't respond positively: "You will find out later, Patriarch Tao."
"let's start."
Xia Yuanxing gave an order.
The assistant around him got orders and took out a metal can and a feather.
He walked up to the first examinee: "Look up, open your eyes."
The examinee didn't know what to do, but he still did it.
I saw that pair of hands dip the feather from the metal jar, and lightly touch the examinee's eyes.
Then, he moved on to the next person.
"What the hell is this doing?"
Xu Ning was puzzled.
Not only Xu Ning, but people like Tao Qingyuan and Tao Jin also looked puzzled.
