5863--Andrew Dabi First Test
With a flash of his figure, Ye Qian appeared outside Baifeng's cave. Baifeng was still cross-legged and concentrated, unaware that his sword had been lost and recovered just now, which added a bit of bloody taste.
After clapping his hands, Ye Qian was very satisfied with how well his fire burned. Next, it depends on the attitude of those high-level people in Dongxuanmen.
Ye Qian quietly returned to the medicine field. No one knew that Zhang Qi, the most outstanding disciple of the outer sect of Dongxuan Sect, had turned into a corpse.
The sky is getting darker, and a new day is coming. For Dongxuanmen, it is a very unusual day. Especially for those outer disciples, this day's competition will be their chance to stand out and be valued by the sect. If they can perform well in the big competition, for them, maybe they can save ten years of struggle!
After all, cultivation depends on resources, and the Zongmen's resources are all oriented towards those disciples who have a bright future. As for those disciples who have no future, the Zongmen will not give too much care at all. Most of them are non-negotiable. It is not that disciples can get resources from the sect by doing nothing. They will need to complete tasks in exchange for certain resources.
Generally speaking, promising disciples receive the most important care from the sect, while those who have no future are equivalent to working for the sect.
Therefore, on this day, countless disciples from the outer sect are all gearing up, wanting to make a big splash today and show their strongest side, hoping to be appreciated by the sect.
On Qingluan Mountain, there is a wide square with a radius of tens of feet. This is the place where Dongxuanmen holds important affairs. Dabi, an outer disciple, chose this place. The sky had just turned pale, and the square was already overcrowded.
Of course those who came were all outer disciples, and some of them stood silently, hoping to adjust their state at the last moment. Some are in groups of three or four, discussing a lot, some say that XX is a big hit, and some say that XX may be a dark horse, these kinds of discussions are basically just to watch the excitement.
There are thousands of people in Dongxuan Sect, except for about a thousand handymen, there are thousands of outer disciples, three to four hundred real inner disciples, and only a few dozen core disciples.
Among the thousands of people, some are positive, and of course there are some who are just waiting to die.
In any case, the gathering of thousands of people can be described as an extraordinary event. When the sun was showing a small part of the eastern sky, a group of deacons and elders wearing moon white robes appeared on the square. They looked solemn and sat down in two teams under a high platform.
With the arrival of the elder deacon, the disciples in the square did not dare to make any noise, and gradually became quiet. An elder came out and waved his hand slowly. Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky. This golden light fell directly towards the center of the square. There was no disciple there. Obviously, everyone knows that random standing in the middle of the square is not allowed. .
There seemed to be a light collision sound, the golden light dissipated, and a high platform with a height of three feet and a length of ten feet appeared in the center of the square. This high platform is obviously not simple, it is filled with brilliance, it is actually a magic weapon.
Obviously, this magic weapon is used as a test platform for this big competition. Think about it, although the outer disciples do not have people who can see the Dao state, but the most powerful ones are basically those who are at the peak of the Qi control state, or even half-step peeped at the Dao state. of the strong. Once such immortal cultivators fight against each other, ordinary stone platforms may not be able to stand up to them at all.
"Today is the day of the Grand Competition of my disciples from the outer sect of Dongxuan Sect. The rules are very simple. I believe you all know it, but I still want to say a few more words." The deacon elder who summoned the high platform said: "The first test is very difficult. It's so simple, as long as you can still stand after a quarter of an hour, you are eligible to compete on stage!"
With a buzzing sound, the outer disciples below whispered to each other, even the disciples who had experienced the competition before could not remain calm at this moment. And those who have just joined Dongxuanmen are even more baffled, this initial test is so simple?
"Hehe, easy? My brother, you will know in a while how difficult this is." Someone said to the newcomer disciple next to him: "Don't talk about standing, it's fine if you don't pee your pants later."
"Ah? What's the situation?" The newcomer asked cutely, but the old disciple was too lazy to talk. After all, everyone present is actually a competitor.
The uproar didn't last long, only a bird chirping was heard, and the disciples looked up, only to see a bird monster with a size of three or four feet flying from the top of Qingluan Mountain, but this was not the main thing. There were actually two people standing on the back of this big bird.
Both of them were quite old, wearing bright yellow robes, they looked like emperors in the mortal world. And the expressions of these two people are different, one of them has a kind smile on his face, which looks very kind, while the other has a straight face, with a vague aura of iron and blood blowing towards his face.
"It's the deputy suzerain and the great elder of Xingtang!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice, obviously the two people who came here had extremely high status in Dongxuanmen.
"These two are powerful people who have glimpsed the third level of the Dao Realm. I didn't expect that this time the competition was actually hosted by the two of them."
The amiable one was Vice-Zong Zhang Tielin. After he fell down, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Seeing you, I can see the future of my Dongxuan Sect. You all performed well in the competition. The outstanding Zong There must be rich rewards!" Then he looked at Li Shan, the chief elder of the punishment hall, smiled and said, "Let the elder Li take care of the initial test."
Li Shan, the chief elder of the punishment hall, did not speak, but nodded. Zhang Tielin didn't take it seriously. Li Shan has always been like this, and he can't get close to anyone. elders.
"For a quarter of an hour, I'm still standing and enter the finals!" Li Shan's voice was loud, but with a gloomy air. Come for the first try!
"What's the matter with this first test?"
"Yeah, how did you do it? Thousands of people did it together?"
Some newcomers were very puzzled, but before they could get an answer, they suddenly felt a sense of coercion coming towards them. This coercion is simply indescribable, as if a huge mountain was suddenly crushed on him, and this is not the most important thing. What followed was a frightening killing intent, the killing intent was so thick that it seemed like someone was about to stab someone in the chest with a sword.
Bearing unimaginable coercion on the body, and facing the torture of killing intent mentally, this kind of unheard of test fell on these thousands of outer disciples in an instant.
But the spellcaster is a strong man who can see the third level of the Dao Realm, Li Shan, the great elder of the Xingtang!
In just a split second, many people were caught off guard, unable to resist the terrifying coercion and mental murderous intent, and sat on the ground with a plop. Just this time, at least half of the people were eliminated. They couldn't hold on for even a moment. One was because of insufficient cultivation, and the other was because of lack of firm will.
This initial test is easy to say, but it is not. It can comprehensively assess the cultivation and will of the disciples, and these two things are of course the most important thing for the cultivator.
Although there are thousands of people, the strongest of these people is at the peak of the Qi Control Realm. In front of Li Shan, who is at the third level of the Dao Realm, he is like an ant, and these disciples can't even release the breath and coercion slightly. persist in.
There are also people who persisted for a few minutes, but could no longer resist, and fell to the ground with a pale face. This kind of person is because of insufficient cultivation or lack of firm will, but they are much stronger than those who fell down in an instant. .
However, it is obvious that such a person is not enough to become an existence valued by the senior officials of Dongxuanmen.
Time passed slowly. For a cultivator, a quarter of an hour should not be too short. Maybe it would take more than a quarter of an hour just to close your eyes and adjust your breath. But at this time, a quarter of an hour is like billions of years, so long and long...
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and the bustling people in the square were now full of mourners. Some disciples who were forced to hold on and finally couldn't hold on to the past even fainted when they fell to the ground. What's more, he has a high self-esteem, but blindly insists on it, which actually causes the blood in his body to become unstable. When he fell down, he sprayed blood from the mouth, and the fatigue on the ground obviously caused internal injuries.
But these did not attract the attention of the deacons, elders, Li Shan and Zhang Tielin. They only looked at the disciples who were still standing. The deputy sect advocated that Tielin was even more relaxed, holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly, ignoring the competition. Because among the outer disciples, he only values one, that is his nephew Zhang Qi, and he is also very confident that Zhang Qi is the number one outer disciple without exception.
Time passed slowly, and people continued to fall down. Li Shan's coercion was not constant, but gradually increased with time. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. Maybe some disciples thought they could To bear, but gradually it became more and more difficult to resist. When it finally surpassed his ability to bear, all the pressure came together, and he could only give up and sit on the ground.
When the time was close to a quarter of an hour, there were only dozens of scattered people in the originally crowded square.
However, this is not the end. When it was about to reach a quarter of an hour, Li Shan suddenly let out a cold snort. This cold snort sounded nothing to the others, but in the ears of those disciples who were still standing, it sounded like a thunderclap!
It has to be said that these disciples who can persevere to the end are people with strong cultivation and willpower. Relying on such a breath, he hanged tightly and refused to fall down.
It's a pity...the cold snort of the explosion broke their persistence in an instant. At least a dozen people's faces changed suddenly, and they fell to the ground with a puff of blood, unconscious.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, there were only eighteen people who could still stand in the square!
