"I am Qian Xilai from the Qian family of Futu City. I have come to see Senior Qi Wei from the Imperial City and ask for a place in the city to take the trial."
A burly young man stood on the pleasure boat next to the building ship, shouting at the top of his voice. People on both sides of the river, including those on the high bridge, could hear his voice.
After his words reached everyone's ears, everyone present was shocked, including Ye Li who was a little surprised that this person actually came directly to the Imperial City to ask for a place to enter the city for the trial.
After being shocked, the people around Ye Li began to whisper.
One person said, "What is he thinking? The places for the city trials are always selected by the Imperial City in advance before the invitation is issued. When will it be his turn to apply?"
Another person said, "Isn't it? If we could apply for it at will, everyone would want to give it a try. The Imperial City would be so busy that it would be dead."
On the Emperor City Tower ship, the expression on the face of the old man Qi Wei did not change much. He just glanced at Qian Xilai and said in a voice as loud as a bell: "The number of places for the entrance trial of my Emperor City has been determined long ago. All the participants are young people with great strength and reputation. What qualifications do you think you have to block the application?"
When Qian Xilai heard Qi Wei's words, his face was very determined, and he replied: "I am well aware of the strict selection of Emperor City, and the people selected must be extremely outstanding.
However, the younger generation does not think that their strength is worse than those on the ship. The reason why they are not as famous as them is just because they are more introverted and spend most of their time on cultivation, and rarely accumulate fame for themselves.
I am applying today out of necessity and as a last-ditch effort.
I am already 24 years old this year and have also entered the stage of divine descent. I think I am no weaker than the people on the ship in terms of strength. If you agree, I hope to fight with the selected candidates on the ship to prove my strength. "
This was probably the first time Qi Wei encountered such a thing, and he seemed to find it interesting. He said, "Have you forgotten that those who enter the Imperial City for the trial must be people of prominent reputation? Your Qian family has a pretty good reputation, but I don't think many people know you personally!"
Qian Xilai was honest, nodded, and said: "Senior, you are right, I am introverted and rarely do things to accumulate fame, so I was not known for a while.
The younger generation believes that the conditions in the Imperial City are somewhat unfair. After all, fame is something that some people like and go out to accumulate when they have nothing to do, while some people don’t like it and try every means to avoid it.
Some people are born into prominent families, so they have more opportunities and are able to earn fame more easily. Some people are born into humble families, and even if they have great talent, potential, and strength, they may not have the opportunity to show themselves, so they cannot enter the eyes of the Imperial City.
However, I am here today, in front of countless people stopping the boat to apply for the qualification to enter the city, and challenge the masters on the boat. If I can win by chance, or not lose to the opponent, it will be enough to make a name for myself, and it can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the Imperial City. I wonder if you are willing to give me a chance?"
Qi Wei looked at the other party with interest, stroked his beard, and said: "Qian Xilai, right? Listen carefully, there is actually nothing wrong with the selection conditions of my Imperial City.
You think that some people are famous because they love fame, and some people are not famous because they are low-key, but this is not actually the case.
I tell you, a young master who often fights and is actively striving forward will inevitably encounter various challenges. As long as he keeps winning and never backs down, he will definitely become famous.
If you are obviously stronger than others in your family, you will naturally have the opportunity to compete with masters of the same age from other families around you.
If your strength is higher than theirs, after defeating them, you will definitely become famous. There is no such thing as being low-key.
Even if you don't try hard to gain fame, it will follow you automatically. It is impossible for you to remain an unknown person.
Our Imperial City has spies all over the country. People with potential and strength from all parties have already entered our field of vision, and we will also examine and evaluate their strength.
The condition of having a prominent reputation not only proves that the person being evaluated is more capable than his or her peers, but also proves that they are sufficiently motivated in character.
A sufficiently motivated person will certainly not refuse a challenge during his practice, and will not miss the opportunity to fight with a master in actual combat.
As long as you win, you will accumulate fame. The reason why you are not famous is probably that you seldom accept challenges, or you do not completely defeat your opponents after the challenge, so you are not famous.
But I find it interesting that you came here today to stop the boat and ask for a chance. I can also give you a chance, or give everyone here a chance.
Young men under the age of 24 who think they have outstanding abilities and are qualified to apply for the city trial, please step forward and come near the ship.
If you can pass our test, I will make an exception and allow you to enter the city for the trial.
We will stay here for three days. During these three days, you can come and challenge us once every night. I want to see how many people we in the Imperial City have misjudged."
As soon as he said this, people on both sides of the river and on the bridge showed expressions of extreme shock, and many people began to get excited.
They really didn't expect that the Imperial City would actually give them such an opportunity, allowing them to have the qualifications to apply for the trial.
After listening to Qian Xilai's words, the young people who felt that they had outstanding abilities all stood up. Their abilities varied, but all of them were at the Lingdan stage, and none of them had passed the Descending God stage.
Qi Wei didn't care about this. He didn't say just now that one must be in the divine descending stage to come and accept the test, so he didn't mention it now.
After all, in his opinion, it was impossible for the people here to pass his test.
Seeing that everyone who was willing to accept the test stood up, Ye Li decided to try Qi Wei's test after hesitating for a moment. He stood on the guardrail at the bridge head, quietly waiting for Qi Wei to tell him how to test him.
Qi Wei looked at the young people around him, smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Dongfang Caiyi beside him: "Little Caiyi, can you help your grandfather Qi do a test? Let them listen to your Seven Lines of Soul-Separation Song."
Hearing the old man suddenly asking for her help, Dongfang Caiyi's face did not show any ripples. She just nodded slightly, picked up the guqin beside her hand, and placed it horizontally on her legs.
The old man saw that she did not object to his proposal, and smiled lovingly, then turned to the people along the river and said: "After the sound of the piano is heard, you cannot use spells, talismans or talismans, you can only rely on your own strength to approach us and climb onto the ship.
If you can enter this platform and keep your mind clear, you have passed the test and are eligible to participate in the city entrance test. Otherwise, go back on your own."
