The first floor of the Star Palace, the drizzle, the fresh air, smelling the tip of the nose and inhaling the lungs, makes people feel refreshed. The mist-like spiritual power everywhere, like a spider's thread, sometimes condenses and sometimes dissipates, just like the clouds in the sky. Beautiful forests, docile animals, this place is as beautiful as a fairyland.
Three days have passed since the end of the doorman assessment. During these three days, Xia Yan did not choose to practice in seclusion, but rather learned about everything about the first layer of the Star Dou Hall. For each courtyard, Xia Yan went to see it in person.
The thousand people who passed the Star Dou Hall's doorman assessment are already the official doormen of Star Dou Hall, and have obtained the first-level Tianmen token of Star Dou Hall. In this heavy sky, it is natural to move around at will. Of course, Xia Yan is not eligible to enter like Shentong Academy and Alchemy Academy.
And the Star Dou Hall rewards for 1,000 cultivators also went to each cultivator. Although there are only a hundred one-yuan pills, it still makes most practitioners feel happy.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The melodious bells, in the early morning drizzle, shuttled through every corner of the Star Palace. Xia Yan had just finished breathing out and stood up, when he heard the bell, his mind was shocked. The sound of the bell actually contains a kind of power that can awaken the mind.
"Cultivators participating in the newcomer strength assessment, now gather at the martial arts field of the assessment institute. The newcomer strength assessment is about to begin."
A thick voice hovered and suppressed from the air.
"The newcomer's strength assessment has begun..." Hearing the voice, Xia Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and an imperceptible smile flashed on his face, "The final first place is mine!"
"Whoosh..."
The figure flickered, and Xia Yan had disappeared into the room, and arrived at the courtyard of No. 8 residential area.
At this time, Zhang Qingquan also came out of a room, just in time to see Xia Yan coming out, and immediately walked towards Xia Yan with great interest.
Because there are many vacant rooms, there is no need for Xia Yan to share a room with Zhang Qingquan.
"Xia Yan, the strength test for newcomers has started? Shall we go to the martial arts arena now? Xia Yan, do you think I can enter the top 100? Alas, it is a pity that I must enter the top ten before I can enter the Academy of Divine Ability An opportunity to learn about supernatural powers."
Zhang Qingquan pouted.
"But it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm already a disciple of the Hall of Stars, and there will be many, many opportunities to learn supernatural powers in the future. My father also asked me to become a disciple of the Hall of Stars." Zhang Qingquan was a little disappointed for a while, and later When she was happy, her mood seemed to change at any time.
"Let's go to the fighting field!" Xia Yan smiled bitterly, and said to Zhang Qingquan.
"Well, okay..."
…
Martial arts arena!
"I heard that among this year's newcomers, there are a few who have good strength and extraordinary talent." In the sky above the arena, a cultivator with fiery red hair hung in the air, facing the two cultivators beside him. said with a smile.
"Well, it's really good. One of them has reached the seventh-level spirit emperor realm, which is a bit scary!" Another blue-shirted practitioner nodded.
"Seventh-level Spirit Emperor Realm is qualified to enter the fifth heaven and become an elite disciple of our Star Dou Hall! Our Star Dou Hall has dozens of disciples' assessments, has there not been such an outstanding person?!" The third cultivator , also said with a gleam in his eyes.
"It's not so easy to enter the fifth heaven and become an elite disciple. Almost all the elite disciples in the fifth heaven are in the seventh-level spirit emperor realm, and most of them have magical powers and secret methods. How can the newbies in the seventh-level spirit emperor realm defeat the fifth realm?" Heaven's elite disciples?!" The cultivator with fiery red hair shook his head.
"That's true, but no matter what, the newcomers of the seventh-level Spirit Emperor realm will definitely receive the attention of our Star Dou Hall, and it is inevitable to become elite disciples in the future." The person who spoke just now nodded and said.
In the entire arena, there are actually many more practitioners who are not participating in the strength assessment of newcomers. These cultivators are obviously also members of the Star Dou Palace. However, they all obviously became disciples of the Star Dou Palace, and they have been practicing in the Star Dou Palace for a long time.
At this time, they appeared in the arena of the Examination Academy, which was a heavy sky, and they should have come to watch the fun.
These disciples, who are more familiar with each other, gathered in twos and threes in a pile, hanging in the air, from time to time, their eyes swept over the cultivators who had just rushed to the Star Dou Hall to participate in the strength assessment of newcomers.
The newcomers who arrived one by one, saw the practitioners hanging in the air, their faces changed, and then they carefully searched for a place to stand in the arena.
Xia Yan and Zhang Qingquan also arrived in the arena at this time.
As soon as he entered the arena, Xia Yan felt strange.
Because, within the consciousness detection, there are hundreds of spirit emperors of level 5 and level 6 in this fighting arena, and there are even some practitioners whose strength Xia Yan can't detect. Looking at these people, it seems that they are all members of the Star Dou Palace.
Xia Yan glanced over the many practitioners floating in the air, far and near.
"These people don't seem to be disciples of the First Heaven, but seem to be the disciples of the Second Heaven, Third Heaven, Fourth Heaven, etc. with higher status. They are probably here to watch the fun." Xia Yan speculated in his heart.
Zhang Qingquan and Zhang Qingquan also found a place with relatively few people, quietly waiting for the start of the newcomer assessment.
"See, that kid is called Xia Yan. His strength is very good. He ranks second on the assessment list, and he is in the sixth-level spirit emperor realm." Someone saw Xia Yan and pointed at the person beside him. said the man.
Xia Yan, feeling the gazes gathered on him, frowned slightly.
"Well, it's really good. It looks very young. I'm afraid I haven't practiced for many years." The other person nodded and commented.
Xia Yan sensed that among the few people who were talking about him, the lowest realms were all at the sixth-level spirit emperor realm, and he was also a little surprised in his heart.
"Look at that... good guy, he's at the seventh level of the Linghuang realm." The person who pointed at Xia Yan before turned his eyes, and what he said at this time was Zhou Tianxing.
"Good boy, you are really amazing! Two days ago, I heard from a few guys from the Fifth Heaven that one of the newcomers in this year's class is a kid who is at the seventh level of the Spirit Emperor Realm. I didn't believe it at the time."
"The number one in this year's rookie strength assessment must be him! 500,000 Yuan Pill, a first-level supernatural power, plus the summoning of the palace master, Master Shuiwu... Tsk tsk, the reward for this year's rookie strength assessment is really amazing! rich!"
"Yeah, it's enviable! Especially Master Shuiwu summoned him in person. What an honor it is? We have been cultivating in Star Dou Hall for thousands of years. The emperor is outstanding. We have successfully entered the fifth heaven and become elite disciples. I’ve seen Lord Water Mist before.”
"After the newcomer's strength assessment, we will go to talk to him and get closer..."
…
"Chi..."
At this time, a powerful coercion suddenly appeared in the space. Immediately, several figures quickly entered from the main entrance of the arena, and after a few flashes, they all reached the sky above the center of the arena.
The person in the lead was none other than Zhan Yun, the chief examiner who was in charge of the disciple assessment three days ago. Behind Zhanyun are the elders of each dean from the First Heaven.
When Zhan Yun and the others appeared, the disciples from all levels of the Star Dou Palace who were talking with each other quietly shut up and stopped talking.
"Welcome everyone to participate in this year's Star Dou's newcomer strength assessment. I have already explained the rewards for the newcomer strength assessment to you three days ago, and I will not repeat it today." Swept over. When this gaze swept across Zhou Tianxing, Yu Wei, Xia Yan and others, they all paused obviously.
Obviously, Zhan Yun is also very concerned about Xia Yan and the others.
All the practitioners were slightly excited. Especially the cultivators who think that their strength is in the forefront are showing urgency. In order to get more rewards, they will spare no effort in the assessment!
"Next, let's invite Elder Li Tianxun from Yichongtian Examination Institute to talk about the rules for newcomers' strength assessment." Zhan Yun's voice changed, and he said in a deep voice.
Elder Li Tianxun made a wrong step and came to the front, looking down at the practitioners.
"The rules of the newcomer's strength assessment are very different from the rules of the disciple's assessment three days ago. The disciple's assessment mainly tests the talent, perseverance, state of mind, etc. of the cultivator. The newcomer's strength assessment, as the name suggests, tests you One's own strength. The stronger the strength, the better!" Under the urging of Li Tianxun's spiritual power, his voice rolled like thunder, lingering in the ears of all the practitioners.
"The specific rules are as follows!"
"One thousand of you will be divided into ten groups! Each group will be one hundred people." Li Tianxun focused his eyes, "As for the grouping form, it will be determined by lottery. Whichever group is drawn will be that group. Each group has a number of 100. From number 1 to number 100. The first group of 100 people will first become the master of the ring. The other nine groups of practitioners will become the fighters. You will follow your corresponding numbers , to challenge the corresponding challenger. The first to be qualified for the challenge is the second group, that is to say, the practitioners of the second group will first challenge the practitioners of the first group, the number one challenges the number one, and the number two challenges the number two ... The winner will continue to be the champion, and the loser will be eliminated directly!"
Li Tianxun slowly said the rules.
"After the second group of challenges is over, there will still be a hundred masters on the ring. Next, there will be a third group of practitioners to challenge! After that, and so on!" Li Tianxun said with a flickering gaze.
Xia Yan's heart was slightly shocked. The speed of such an assessment was indeed very fast. Moreover, it is very cruel, as long as you lose a game, you will be eliminated directly. In this case, in fact, the practitioners in the lower group will take advantage of it. For example, in the tenth group, the probability of being eliminated is the smallest. The first group suffered the most.
The assessment of the newcomer's strength seems to depend on luck. If the tenth group can be drawn, the chances of entering the top 100 are very high.
