Early the next morning, Liu Suifeng took Xiao Chen to fly the blue bird towards the school field where Wangtiantai would be taking the assessment that day. This time, Liu Suifeng did not act foolishly and fell down on the school field in half an hour.
I thought I had arrived early enough, but who knew that the eighteen inner disciples who had passed the examination had been waiting for a long time. Not only that, the stands were actually full of people.
At a glance, there was a dense crowd of people all around. A rough count showed that there were no less than three or four thousand people, and most of them were the inner disciples of Tiandao Pavilion.
In addition to the inner disciples, there were also a large group of core disciples and true disciples, all of whom were in a special attic. The whole atmosphere was a bit too dense.
Xiao Chen was a little confused and asked Liu Suifeng in a low voice: "What's going on? Why are there so many people here today? It's more than double the number of people who arrived last time."
Liu Suifeng also said in a low voice: "Did you see the Sword Emperor summoning order last night?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said: "I saw it, but the Sword Emperor's summons order has nothing to do with our sect's assessment this time."
The Sword Emperor summoning order is indeed a big event. To put it more broadly, for a top sect like Tiandao Pavilion, one of the top sects in the country of Qin, to use the Sword Emperor summoning order is a big event in Great Qin.
But what does this have to do with their assessment? The basic level ended early last time, and today's assessment only has one stage of the arena battle. In Xiao Chen's opinion, there is no problem for him to take first place among the twenty people.
Although the battle with Zhang Lie and Mu Heng was enjoyable, Xiao Chen's own strength had not yet been fully utilized. If he fought alone, he would be sure to end the battle in ten moves.
Logically speaking, no one should be watching such a predetermined arena battle, but today there were not only no fewer people, but many more people than three days ago.
Liu Suifeng suddenly realized, "That's right. You have been practicing hard for the past three days and have no idea what is happening outside. You will know after I tell you."
"On the second day after the last assessment, Wangtiandai made an announcement in advance. The main hall will recall all the core disciples who were training outside and conduct a ranking battle today to select the ninety strongest core disciples. , so we are not the protagonists today.”
What on earth must be done to get all the core places back? Xiao Chen thought doubtfully. Isn't he worried that these people won't be able to get back in one night.
There are flying stations directly leading to Tiandao Pavilion in all major cities in the Great Qin Kingdom. As long as you spend a large amount of spiritual stones, you can rush back to Tiandao Pavilion in half a day.
I just couldn’t figure out how the assessments for ordinary inner disciples like them happened to be on the same day as the ranking battle for the core disciples.
Xiao Chen asked: "Did the announcement say that they will be selected as core disciples ranked 90th? What's the matter?"
Liu Suifeng shook his head and said: "I haven't mentioned this yet. I guess it must be a big mission. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used the Sword Emperor summoning order for such an urgent summons. People who didn't come back within a day after receiving the summons order, All will be punished."
As he was talking, various black spots appeared in the sky above the school grounds. The black spots got closer, and everyone discovered that the black spots were all ferocious flying spiritual beasts.
The spirit beast landed quickly and hovered a hundred meters in the air when a warrior jumped directly from above. Bang bang bang, the sole of his foot fell heavily to the ground, but his body was unscathed.
After landing, these people walked towards the attic specially prepared for the core disciples, where the core disciples who had not left the trial in the Tiandao Pavilion were already waiting here.
"That is Lin Yun from Qiandanfeng, who is ranked eighteenth on the list. He practices the pure fire attribute True Yang Technique, and his sword skills are extremely domineering. We haven't seen him for half a year. His strength seems to have increased again, and he has the cultivation of a top-grade martial master. "
"The tenth-ranked Jade Girl Feng Yun Kexin, I don't know what level of Qingyin Jue she has reached now."
"The second-ranked Tianyue Peak Ye Lingfeng has also arrived. He has not been back for more than a year, and now he has the cultivation level of a middle-grade Martial Master."
"I don't know if Murong Chong, who is ranked number one, will arrive. Last year he had the cultivation of a low-grade peak martial master. I don't know how powerful he is now."
As more and more people jumped off the spirit beasts, someone immediately recognized these people. They were all core disciples in the top 100 on the list. When they came out one by one, they all aroused exclamations.
The twenty people on the school field also focused on this group of people. Xiao Chen took a quick glance and found that this group of people was indeed powerful, and the aura of each person was extremely strong.
And most of them have the cultivation level of a low-grade Martial Lord, and a few people's cultivation has completely reached the peak level of a low-grade Martial Lord. It is very likely that the top ninety disciples in this core area are among the top 100 on this list. Choose among people.
The top ten people have such momentum. How strong will the person ranked first be? Xiao Chen thought lightly in his heart.
Whoops!
There were sudden bursts of sonic booms in the air, and a black dot flew quickly from far to near, approaching the speed of sound. It kept rubbing in the air, making a sonic boom that lingered over the school grounds.
boom!
The person who came was still a thousand meters away, and the violent sound of sonic boom was still lingering in the air. The figure had already fallen to the ground, wearing a moon-white robe.
With handsome and delicate facial features, he held a long knife in his right hand. His whole body was restrained and had an indescribable charm, and he slowly walked towards the attic.
"Murong Chong, Murong Chong is really back! This is a flying martial art, and his strength is completely invisible." Everyone in the stands exclaimed, and many of the female disciples' faces were red and their eyes were shining. It jumped up carefully.
Seeing this person, Xiao Chen's face, which had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but reveal a solemn look.
Although the top ten core disciples he met earlier were very strong, Xiao Chen was 50% sure of winning if they fought.
If he could give it a try, even the second-ranked Ye Lingfeng would be 60% sure of winning, but this person actually gave him the feeling of being invincible.
Among the younger generation of disciples, this feeling only appeared in Liu Ruyue back then. Can this person be compared to Liu Ruyue back then
The reason why Liu Ruyue is not the current Liu Ruyue is because now Liu Ruyue is infinitely close to King Wu, and is only one step away from reaching the realm that all the younger generation looks up to, and is unmatched by anyone at the same level.
Although Xiao Chen couldn't see through this person's realm, from his aura, he could roughly guess that his cultivation realm was in the middle stage of a high-grade Martial Lord, and there was still some distance to the peak.
"Murong Chong, which peak's inner sect disciple you are, why haven't you heard of anyone talking about it?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
When Liu Suifeng heard this, he looked a little uncomfortable and said, "He is a free person and does not belong to any peak."
Xiao Chen observed his words and knew at a glance that Liu Suifeng still had something to say, but he didn't say it, "Free people? What do you mean?"
After anyone enters the inner gate of Tiandao Pavilion, the first thing they have to do is to choose a mountain peak, and then they can customize their waist badge and become a true inner disciple. How could there be someone who does not belong to any peak
If he doesn't belong to any peak, then why did he come to Tiandao Pavilion? Is it just for the rich aura of the Lingyun Mountains? No one should be so surprised.
Since you can enter the inner sect, you naturally pay more attention to the high-level martial arts and techniques of each peak in the inner sect. The environment with rich spiritual energy will always be secondary.
Liu Suifeng paused for a moment, as if he had made some decision, and sighed: "To tell you the truth, Murong Chong was a disciple of our Qingyun Peak, and Wang Rong, who he met last time in the library. , was also a disciple of Qingyun Peak."
"Murong Chong and my sister are senior siblings. He and my sister grew up together. After he failed to pursue my sister two years ago, he left Qingyun Peak in anger."
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a story in it. He couldn't help but look at Murong Chong who had already walked up to the attic.
After all the core disciples arrived, the examiner slowly appeared on the school grounds. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Each of you will fight fifteen battles. Victory in each battle will give you one point. Failure in the battle will give you one point." Regardless of points, the one with the highest score after the battle will be the first core disciple this time and will be rewarded with a thousand lower-level spirit stones and an Earth-level first-level soul weapon."
"The rewards for the remaining nine are the same, five hundred lower-level spirit stones, and a Xuan-level high-level spirit weapon. At the same time, the rankings of the ten of you in the Ranking Hall will automatically increase by one hundred."
The rewards were indeed more than five times more than in previous years, but it was a pity that Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to them. Whether it was soul weapons or lower-level spirit stones, he didn't need too much.
What he needs most now is body-tempering elixirs of level six or above or heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can directly train the physical body. Secondly, high-level skills that can specifically train the physical body.
The arena for the competition was right in the center of the school grounds, and there were basically no highlights. When encountering Xiao Chen's opponents, most of them chose to abstain directly. In thirteen of the fifteen battles, Xiao Chen did not fight and won directly.
Only Mu Heng and Zhang Lie chose to continue. Unfortunately, they couldn't defeat Xiao Chen together for the past three days. They fought alone. Xiao Chen used 60% of his strength and ended the battle within fifty moves.
After fifteen battles, Xiao Chen came back victorious and won the first place without any suspense. The second place happened between Mu Heng and Zhang Lie.
The two were of equal strength, and they fought for a long time without a winner. In the end, Mu Heng relied on his physical advantage and was slightly better in endurance, defeating Zhang Lie and taking second place.
At noon, all the battles were over, and this year's core disciples were finally selected. Liu Suifeng got the tenth place through many dangers, and finally got his wish.
"You guys go down and take a rest first. After the ranking competition for the core disciples is over, you will have a battle with the core disciples who are ranked in the dozens." The examiner reminded everyone.
