Chapter 637 One Less Person

Looking from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, a huge stockade is looming halfway up the mountainside. In front of the gate of the cottage, a banner dozens of meters high flutters in the wind. fluttering.

From the foot of the mountain, there is a winding path leading to the shining cottage. Song Jian was about to follow the path. From the woods on both sides, a middle-aged man with a crooked mouth and face suddenly jumped out, holding a dog-head knife in his hand. , pointed at Song Jian with the tip of the knife, and shouted with disdain: "Hey, that kid, what are you doing here by yourself? Do you know where this place is?"

"Is Heifengzhai up there?" Song Jian asked with a smile, looking at the third-level "Heifengzhai thief" in front of him.

"Yo, is another one here to defect to us?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he looked up and down Song Jian. After a while, his face suddenly stiffened and he said to Song Jian, "Where do I seem to see you in this dress? been……"

Without saying a word, Song Jian stomped on the ground with his right leg, and a fang-shaped air mass uttered a sharp whistle and flew towards the third-level Heifengzhai thief;

With a sound of "bang", the thief didn't even react, and was directly hit by the ground teeth and flew backwards. A critical damage of more than 100 points floated from the top of the thief's head. Kill directly!

System: You killed a third-level "Black Wind Village Bandit" and gained 36 experience points;

"Sure enough, I can still gain combat experience by killing. It's easy to do with this. At least I can quickly raise my level. As long as I can reach level 30, I can at least unlock most of my strength. It's too weak..." Song Jian shook his head, without looking at the thief's body lying on the ground, he walked slowly along the path towards Heifengzhai;

...

Three days later, the apprentices of Qingyun Sword Sect arrived as scheduled. In the square at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of disciples wearing gray gowns lined up in unison.

Everyone stood up straight, not daring to say a word, hundreds of people were like statues, motionless.

On the stand in front of the square, several middle-aged men in cyan robes looked lazy, talking and laughing with each other, which did not match the solemn atmosphere of the entire square;

"Master Wang, I didn't expect you to be sent to test these handymen disciples this year. Are you short of people in the Sword Casting Hall recently?" A middle-aged man with three long beards asked with a smile.

A burly man next to him laughed and said, "I just forged a blue-quality long sword two days ago, and I just took a rest these two days!"

"Blue quality?" The long-bearded middle-aged man next to him, who looked like a scholar, had a surprised look on his face, and complimented: "Master Wang's forging skills have become more and more proficient. I can be promoted to master blacksmith."

"Hey, it's too early to say that the master is a master. I don't want Qin Hua. At a young age, she is already a master of pharmacy. Even the head of the sect is full of praise for the Seven Treasure Pills she made!"

A young woman next to her showed a smug look on her face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she turned her head to look at Master Wang, and nodded slightly.

"Master Wang, Qin Hua, it's getting late, why don't we start evaluating these disciples?" Li Guiqing said with a smile, stroking his three long beards.

Among the three, his strength is the strongest, a 30th-level swordsman with first-order combat power, while the other two are slightly weaker, but the one who has always been respectfully called "Master Wang" by him. , is a forging craftsman named Wang Hai. Although his strength is average, he is indeed a senior swordsmith in Qingyun Jianmen Sword Casting Hall. He already has an expert level and may break through to a master level at any time;

The other person is even more incredible. She is a new alchemist from Qingyun Jianmen alchemy hall. Although she is a woman, she cannot be underestimated. The seven treasures she has refined can not only treat internal injuries, but also Assisted in cultivation, even the head of Qingyun Jianmen was full of praise for Qibao Dan, and he was considered a very popular celebrity in Qingyun Jianmen;

Li Guiqing naturally did not dare to offend these two people, and his attitude has always been very modest;

"Haha, we don't really understand these assessments. Brother Li made it up. Qinhua and I are here to join in the fun." Wang Hai laughed loudly;

Qin Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Wang Hai lightly, but he did not object to his words;

"Okay, let's start!" Li Guiqing stood up and shouted loudly: "The triennial examination competition for the outer sect handyman disciples starts now!"

Li Guiqing looked at the dark crowd in the square, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. In the usual inner door competition, every two people are in the ring. If you follow the inner door competition method, the hundreds of people in front of you will probably be three days and three nights. It is also incomplete.

These outer sect handyman disciples, Qingyun Jianmen didn't actually pay much attention to them, but they were just chasing the sand. If some talents could be selected, it would be the best.

Li Guiqing looked at the list and found that the number of Outer Sect disciples to be assessed this year was exactly three hundred.

"There are a total of 300 outer disciples participating in the assessment this year. In this way, each hundred of you will be divided into a ring, and you will fight each other. The person standing on the stage at the end is the winner and can enter the inner sect!"

All the handymen disciples were stunned when they heard it. Such an assessment method had never been encountered before;

But since the examiner said it, it can only be done. Soon, the team of 300 people was divided into three pieces, almost filling the entire square.

"Brother Li, this method is good, it's not troublesome, and it can also pick out real talents for the sect!" Wang Hai nodded with a smile on his face, looking very admiring.

"Hehe, the time of the two is precious, how can they be wasted on these outer disciples? Being able to stand out from a hundred people, pick one out of a hundred, and choose three disciples can be regarded as an explanation for the sect!" Li Guiqing was proud and touched three strands. Longbeard said.

"Hey, there seems to be only ninety-nine people in a team, less than a hundred people..." Qin Hua suddenly said;

"Ninety-nine people?" Li Guiqing frowned, took out the roster and checked it carefully;

"No, there are three hundred people on the roster, how could there be one less?" Li Guiqing turned around and called a disciple behind him, handed him the roster, and told him to check what was going on;

Not long after, the disciple came back and said a few words in Li Guiqing's ear;

"So it is!" Li Guiqing nodded slightly;

"Why, could it be said that someone escaped without authorization?" Qin Hua said with a light smile;

"Someone received the task of destroying Heifeng Mountain and beheading the leader of Heifeng Mountain Village. It has been three days and he has not returned!" Li Guiqing explained;

When Wang Hai and Qin Hua heard this, their faces suddenly showed surprise, a look of disbelief.
