In the afternoon, the sun was high and hot.
The four of Chen Zong gathered in the Zonghengjian Hall again, and then, under the leadership of the Suzerain Lin Zhonghan, they walked through the Zonghengjian Hall and walked to the inside.
"Jianzi's assessment is divided into two parts. Those who pass first within the specified time will be able to become Zongmen Jianzi, and the rest will be eliminated." Lin Zhonghan said, his plain tone contained undeniable power.
Even if the power of the super-mortal powerhouse leaked even a little bit, it was still very strong. An arrogant person like Long Changzhi dared not refute it, otherwise he would be expelled directly and lose the qualification to compete for the sword of the sect.
Going on and on, through door after door, as if walking into infinity.
A few minutes later, Lin Zhonghan stopped and pointed to the four closed doors in front of him: "Everyone chooses a door to enter. You will know the method of assessment after entering."
"Go ahead and use all your abilities."
The four of Chen Zong took a deep breath, and then, Long Changzhi's figure flashed, and he rushed forward with a domineering posture like a streamer, and took the lead in choosing a door to open and enter.
Chen Zong pushed open the door, and suddenly felt a burst of fresh air pervading.
After stepping into the door, the door closed automatically, and the originally dark inner room suddenly lit up like the light of day, illuminating the surroundings, finely detailed.
After Chen Zong swept his gaze away, he stared blankly ahead.
It was a wall, a wall that looked very strange, this kind of wall made Chen Zong feel familiar.
Organ wall!
During the assessment at the Qunlong Pavilion in the royal capital of the Yunlong Dynasty that day, the first test was to crack the mechanism wall.
Cracking the mechanism wall is a relatively comprehensive ability, which requires memory, deduction ability, comprehension ability, insight, etc., which happen to be the necessary abilities for warriors.
Compared with the organ wall examined by Qunlong Pavilion, the organ wall in front of me is several times more complicated and more precise.
It is certain that ordinary warriors who practiced at the peak of Rank Nine will be confused when they see such a mechanism wall, and they will even feel dizzy if they look at it a few more times.
Speaking of it, the trap wall is a very popular assessment, but the composition of different trap walls is often different, not cracking one trap wall is equal to being able to crack other trap walls.
A timer is hung on the wall on the left, and the pointer rotates slowly at a slight speed. When a circle is completed, it means that the time is up.
Chen Zong first closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and got rid of all distracting thoughts in his mind, and then opened his eyes, his clear eyes reflected the entire organ wall.
The pupils contracted like needles, and swept over little by little, first remembering the overall outline of the organ wall, like a branding in his mind, from big to small, from outside to inside, every detail was firmly remembered by Chen Zong .
Ever since he obtained the mysterious sword tip, Chen Zong's own potential has been constantly being developed. With the improvement of his cultivation base and the breakthrough of his realm, his own potential has also been further developed. It is not difficult to have a photographic memory.
Even so, it took Chen Zong nearly a quarter of an hour to fully remember this complicated organ wall, and the hands on the timer moved nearly a quarter of the way.
After fully memorizing it, Chen Zong looked for the law of operation in it. Only by grasping the law can he proceed to the next step of deduction, and then hope to decipher it.
"Which school of mechanism walls is this?" Long Changzhi frowned, looked carefully, and then a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter which genre it is, the basic principles of mechanism walls are the same, and I, as early as I have mastered the foundation of the organ wall."
This is where your advantage lies.
There is a big difference whether you have learned the foundation of the organ wall.
The same two people have similar abilities in all aspects, but one has learned the basics of the mechanism wall and the other has not. When cracking the mechanism wall, the former will be easier.
After all, if you know some basic knowledge, you can see better deduction better.
Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng had more or less experience with the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall. It can be said that among the four, only Chen Zong had not learned the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall.
"Zhonghan, do you think these four people have any hope of becoming swordsmen of the sect?" the old man in a green robe with white hair and beard but with a face as rosy as a baby asked, his voice like a river.
"Old man, I can't see it." Suzerain Lin Zhonghan replied respectfully.
There is only one person in the entire Zongheng Sword Sect who can treat the suzerain Lin Zhonghan with such respect and address him as the elder, and that is the elder of the sect.
This elder of the sect is also the previous suzerain. After resigning from office, he became an elder. In terms of status, he must be above the suzerain. Of course, in terms of real power, the suzerain is the first.
"Since Yuxie and Zuo Shanmei, no one in this sect has passed the sect's sword test for several years. I hope there will be one this time." The elder sighed softly.
Yuxie refers to Lin Yuxie, who passed the examination and became a swordsman of the sect. Now, he is one of the five arrogances in Tianjiang Mansion, and Zuo Shanmei became a swordsman of the sect a few years later than Lin Yuxie. Now it is ranked among the second-tier talent camp in Tianjiang Mansion, and is expected to hit the first-tier camp.
The assessment of Zongmen Jianzi is very difficult, and under normal circumstances, the elders of the outer sect only have one chance to recommend him once in his life. The third referral opportunity.
Simply put, the first opportunity is free, and the next opportunity must be paid.
As for the elders of the inner sect, there is no such restriction. Of course, the elders of the inner sect will not make random recommendations because of this.
The Zongmen Jianzi assessment is carried out almost every year, but for several years since Zuo Shanmei, no one has passed the assessment to become a new Zongmen Jianzi.
The four people in the assessment this time did not know whether they were completely annihilated as in previous years, or whether someone could pass the assessment and become a new generation of swordsmen after Lin Yuxie Zuoshanmei.
"Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng are both disciples of this sect. They know the roots and the bottom line. The probability of the two of them passing the assessment is not high." Lin Zhonghan analyzed: "Chen Zong comes from a small dynasty. In terms of background and inheritance, he can't compare with Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng. , but his combat power is still higher than the two of them, which shows that this child is indeed extraordinary. If he could become a disciple of this sect a few years earlier and receive better training, the possibility of passing the examination would be even greater. As for the dragon chief Zhi has some origins, and has quite a family background since childhood."
"If one of these four can pass the assessment, Long Changzhi is more likely." Lin Zhonghan finally said.
Although Lin Zhonghan was not very willing to let a person related to the royal family become a sword son of the sect, on the whole, he did not violate the rules handed down from the Zongheng sword sect. It is not a good thing for the other party to become a swordsman of the sect, and it is not a good thing to attract the royal family to intervene.
As for the arrogant character, it's nothing. In the world of geniuses, there are all kinds of personalities, so there's nothing strange about it.
After all, heart and character are two different things.
What Lin Zhonghan hopes most is that Yan Hua or Xiao Jinpeng can pass the assessment. After all, these two people have been worshiping Zongheng Jianzong for a long time.
The elder didn't speak again, the mountain wind remained the same.
"Up to the mid-heaven position...down to the celestial position...and then to a higher position..." Long Changzhi used his own ability and the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall to deduce, muttering: "No, I made a mistake in the deduction, and start over again." .”
Chen Zong didn't understand the middle heaven position and the lower heaven position, because he hadn't studied it before, but he had his own way of deduction.
Everything in the world has laws contained in it. As long as you observe carefully and are keen enough, you can find out the laws little by little, and then grasp them.
It is easier for those who have accumulated rich experience and knowledge to make deductions, because the laws of everything do not exist independently, but are interdependent, and there are inextricably linked with each other, which can be confirmed by each other.
Gradually, the pointer on the timer turned slowly, and it had gone through more than half a circle, and Chen Zong also found out the law of the organ wall, and continued to deduce it.
Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng stared straight at the organ wall, and tried their best to use the basic knowledge of the organ wall they had learned to deduce, but as they pushed, they found that they gradually deviated from the wall as if they had entered a dead end. .
Fortunately, they woke up in time, and quickly got out of the state of being on the edge of a dead end, took a deep breath, and after a little adjustment, they deduced from the beginning.
There was a detour, and the re-deduction went much smoother.
Regarding the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall, neither Yan Hua nor Xiao Jinpeng can compare with Long Changzhi. It can be said that Long Changzhi has really mastered the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall, while Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng are just Just getting started, as for Chen Zong, he is a complete layman.
"Going to heaven... this is here, break!" With a low shout, Long Changzhi's eyes shot fiercely, he took a step forward, and slapped a palm casually, with the force restrained on the palm, hitting a part of the mechanism wall.
There was a clicking sound, and immediately, the operation of the entire organ wall stopped. After a moment of silence, the sound of "clicking" continued, like fried beans, and the organ wall was separated from it, allowing one person to pass through.
The moment Long Changzhi successfully cracked the mechanism wall, Chen Zong also deduced the operating law of it, and then found a way to crack it.
Point out with the sword, in the sound of clicking, the mechanism wall also stopped running, and then there were dense clicking sounds continuously, and it can be clearly seen that every mechanism component on the mechanism wall is moving, and the connection between each other They were disconnected one after another, and a vacancy that could allow one person to pass was separated from it.
Glancing at the timer on the left wall, there was less than half a circle left, and time was running out, so Chen Zong stepped forward and walked into the gap in the mechanism wall.
This is the first level of assessment, and moving forward, it is the second level of assessment.
As Long Changzhi and Chen Zong successively cracked the mechanism wall, Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng are still working hard.
Seeing that the pointer on the timer was about to complete a circle gradually, the eyes of Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng suddenly lit up, and they shot together, and there were continuous clicking sounds, and the mechanism wall was successfully cracked.
The two glanced at the timer from the corners of their eyes, and they were startled. They were almost, just a little short of time, and they were going to time out, and time out meant elimination.
