After Xing Jue killed the old man with a long beard, thunderous cheers suddenly rang out in the entire Xia Mansion. This time, Xing Jue not only killed the old man with a long beard, a master who threatened their safety, but also The head of the Wang family, "Wang Buren", who had been hostile to their Xia Mansion for many years, was killed. How could they not be excited
However, just as everyone gathered around and prepared to thank Xing Jue, Xing Jue's vision suddenly went dark and he fainted.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. They hurriedly carried Xing Jue into the house and invited a doctor to diagnose and treat him. When the doctor announced his condition, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xing Jue was due to fatigue. It only takes two days of rest to recover from excessive injuries. It seems that the battle with the old man with the sheep's beard will also consume a lot of energy.
In the backyard of the Xia Mansion, there is a rather secretive secret room. The surface of the secret room is made of frost stone and is very solid. This was originally a treasure room used by the Xia family to store important items, but now it is not It was requisitioned by Xing Jue.
At this moment, outside the door of the secret room, the four eyes were walking back and forth anxiously, and from time to time they would say: "Why don't you come out yet?" , "Go, call my father and open the stone door." Siyan suddenly said to a house slave who had his hand outside the secret room.
"But Master, Master Xingjue is practicing, so this will disturb him," the slave said with some worry. Although he is only a master of martial arts, he still has some understanding of practice. If a person is suddenly interrupted when he is concentrating on practice, it will easily cause backlash.
"What do you know? Just go if I tell you to. Why is there all this nonsense?" Four Eyes shouted angrily.
After being angrily scolded by Four Eyes, the house slave did not dare to say anything more and had no choice but to run towards his master's attic in despair.
"Zhizhizhizhi" But not long after that family ran out, the closed stone door suddenly opened slowly.
After the stone door opened, a handsome young man wearing a blue robe also walked out of the stone door, and this was naturally a punishment in seclusion.
"Did you succeed in practicing?" After Si Yan saw Xing Jue walking out, a relieved smile finally appeared on Ben's anxious face, and he came to Xing Jue's side and said with a smile.
"Well, I've roughly got it," Xing Jue replied with a smile.
"That's good, let's set off, otherwise it will be too late." After looking in the direction of Yufeng Pavilion with four eyes, he said pointedly.
"Well, let's go." Xing Jue naturally understood what the four eyes were referring to and replied immediately.
In the outer pavilion of Yufeng Pavilion, there is a very large open-air square. At the center of the square, there are hundreds of small arenas, and on the outside of the square, there are tens of thousands of disciples gathered. , the reason why this place is so lively today is because today is the beginning of the annual cabinet assessment of the outer cabinet.
On top of the hundreds of arenas, there was a humanoid puppet with a strong build and empty eyes standing on each of them, standing motionless like soldiers guarding the arena.
And they are the first level of the cabinet assessment. There are no qualification restrictions for this cabinet assessment. As long as you are a disciple of the outer cabinet, you can participate as long as you want. But if you are not strong enough, then don't even think about fishing in troubled waters, because here The humanoid puppets in the first level all have combat capabilities equivalent to those of high-level martial arts masters.
And because this humanoid puppet is made of special materials and its body is very strong, even if you have the strength of a high-level martial artist, it is very difficult to win over them without a strong trump card.
"The cabinet assessment begins now." As the Great Elder of the outer cabinet announced the end, the disciples on the outside of the square, like a pack of crazy wolves, began to rush towards the ring in the center of the square. Although they knew that this humanoid puppet was extremely powerful, they Many disciples still want to give it a try. After all, as long as they pass this level, they will have a chance to enter the cabinet. As long as you become a cabinet disciple, both your cultivation methods and your living conditions will undergo qualitative changes.
To put it bluntly, compared to the disciples of the outer cabinet, the relationship between the disciples of the outer cabinet is like that between a house slave and the master of the house. The disciples of the cabinet, even the elders of the outer cabinet, must smile at each other and not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. .
And the disciples of the cabinet look down upon the disciples of the outer cabinet, so the disciples of the cabinet will never hang out in the outer cabinet. If the disciple of the outer cabinet enters the cabinet, let alone not saying that he can't get in, even if he goes, he probably won't. Beaten to death.
Therefore, for the outer cabinet disciples, the cabinet is the place they yearn for most. Even though there is only a glimmer of hope, they still have to give it a try.
As the outer disciples rushed into the ring, the empty eyes of the humanoid puppet on the ring instantly turned blood red, and like a bloodthirsty beast, it pounced on the outer disciples who stepped onto the ring. past.
The stronger disciples were fine, but the weaker ones were seriously injured, and some were even disabled. But even so, those disciples who failed to step onto the ring still had to fight. Go up and give it a try.
With the beginning of the cabinet assessment, more than half a day has passed, but among the tens of thousands of outer cabinet disciples, only a few dozen have successfully passed the humanoid puppet test, and none of them have One is someone who has reached a high level of martial arts.
What's more, some have actually reached the level of Wuzong. From this, it can be seen that there are not only the four heavenly kings and four Wuzong masters in this outer cabinet, but there are also many people who are low-key and hide their strength.
"Haha, congratulations, mistress, I didn't expect you to pass the cabinet examination."
"Yes, yes. From today on, you are considered to be half a cabinet disciple. If you really join the cabinet, don't forget us in the future." On the outside of the square, several disciples rushed towards a slowly The disciple who came over said with a smile.
"Hey, I didn't expect it. I was able to pass. In fact, it was just a fluke." The disciple said with some embarrassment as he approached, and this was the young man who often exaggerated about the injuries to his four eyes in front of the execution. ".
"By the way, haven't Brother Xingjue and Brother Four Eyes come back yet?" Xiaosan suddenly thought of Xingjue and the others, and then asked anxiously.
"No, I didn't see them. Nothing happened to them, right?" The disciples, after hearing Xiao San's words, also said anxiously, obviously feeling a little worried about Xing Jue and Si Yan. Worry.
"Haha, brothers, brother is back." At this moment, a refreshing laughter suddenly sounded behind them, and looking in the direction of the sound, everyone showed ecstatic expressions and shouted in unison Said: "Brother Xingjue".
"Damn, have you forgotten me?" Si Yan suddenly ran over and said with an unhappy look on his face. He and Xing Jue came back together, but these guys actually only talked to Xing Jue and ignored him.
"Okay, Si Yan, it's getting late. Let's get through this first so that we can go back and get together with the brothers." Xing Jue gently patted Si Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
And Si Yan also smiled and nodded, looking confident.
After most of the day's assessment, except for the disciples who were watching the excitement, very few people were rushing towards the ring crazily. After all, they had seen too many people who overestimated their abilities, so naturally they were terrified of the puppet. I have some understanding, so at this moment, there are only a few people outside the arena waiting to go up for the assessment, which seems a bit empty compared to the huge crowds in the morning.
So the square seemed a little quiet at the moment, completely without the noise from before.
But the silence was broken when a figure appeared in the square. Looking at the figure in the square, the whole square started to boil again.
And this person who caused a huge commotion was naturally the "Xing Jue" who had such a high reputation in the outer cabinet.
Regarding the commotion outside the square, Xing Jue just smiled faintly, and then walked up to an empty ring. As he walked into the ring, tens of thousands of eyes also turned to the ring. After all, people They were all curious as to whether the strongest man in the outer cabinet had such legendary strength.
When Xing Jue stepped onto the ring, the humanoid puppet rushed towards Xing Jue like a crazy beast at great speed.
But facing the violent humanoid puppet, Xing Jue showed no fear at all. With a swing of his right arm, a powerful force of martial energy spread out from his right fist.
"Bang" was accompanied by a harsh sound. The previously violent humanoid puppet turned into a pile of scrap metal in an instant. Without using any gorgeous martial arts, just a casual punch destroyed countless outer cabinets. Disciple, the humanoid puppet that was seriously injured was turned into scrap metal.
After Xing Jue defeated the humanoid puppet and there was a moment of silence, the entire square burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
"Is this a punishment? It's really strong."
"He is truly a legendary figure."
A series of adoring comments also sounded continuously among the crowd.
"The spirit of martial arts is unleashed. This kid really has unlimited potential." In the center of the elders' table, the elder who had a relationship with Xing Jue once stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
Shortly after Xing Jue successfully defeated the puppet, Four Eyes also walked down from another arena. Although it looked a little embarrassed compared to Xing Jue, he finally passed this level.
After successfully passing the test, Xingjue and his party did not stay in the square, but returned to the Xing Mansion. This time, apart from Xingjue and Four Eyes, a total of thirteen people among Xingjue and his party passed the assessment. Now, fifteen of them are qualified to enter the cabinet. This achievement is considered quite good.
The next thing they have to do is to participate in the knockout round, because there are only 20 places in the cabinet assessment. , but there are no less than a hundred people who have passed the first level of assessment, so the final assessment is the most competitive.
Tonight, the outer cabinet in the outer cabinet is very different from usual. Instead of everyone going to bed early as usual, everyone is excited to discuss today's assessment, and some are praying for friends who successfully passed the first level. They celebrate.
The Xing Mansion is the busiest place in the outer pavilion. At this moment, there are hundreds of people gathered in the square in front of the Xing Mansion, and all of them are disciples who follow Xing Jue. At this moment, everyone is He was holding a wine glass in his hand and drinking to his heart's content.
