Chapter 1079 The Third Round of Assessment

Liang Yan, Ji Lai and Li Xiran successfully passed the second round of assessment and traveled through the void through the teleportation circle. It didn't take long for them to feel their feet firmly on the ground and they had landed on the ground.

They calmed down and waited until the surrounding space gradually stabilized and the white light slowly receded, then they took a closer look at their surroundings.

I saw a towering mountain peak in front of me. The top of the mountain was ethereal and was no longer within the field of vision. The place where everyone was now was at the foot of this mountain peak.

"Is this the examination room for the third round of assessment? Why is there no examiner here?" Someone among the candidates whispered.

Liang Yan looked around and found that out of more than a hundred candidates who participated in the assessment, there were only forty-three left. This showed how stringent the selection assessment in Wushuang City was.

"It shouldn't be. Wushuang City has never been absent from the examinations over the years. Is there another mystery behind this?"

Ji Lai also whispered a few words. He had experienced the trap of the first round of assessment before, and his mind became very active. At this time, he had secretly released his consciousness, wanting to see what mysteries were hidden in this examination room.

Many candidates present had the same thoughts as him, and each used their magical powers to find out. For a moment, no one spoke anymore, and the scene was very quiet for a while.

"belch!"

Just when there was silence in the venue, a wine burp suddenly broke the silence.

The monks participating in the assessment all reacted immediately, turned their heads almost simultaneously, and cast their gaze on a big tree on the roadside ahead.

The big tree was seven or eight feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and was full of green. At this time, several branches were shaking, which was obviously something hidden in the dense leaves.

Suddenly I heard a "Plop!" and something heavy fell from the gap in the leaves and fell directly to the ground.

Everyone present looked at it at the same time, but they were all stunned for a moment.

What fell from the cracks in the leaves was a young girl in her prime.

The girl's appearance was not bad, but she had a silly smile on her face. She was lying on the ground with her back against the tree trunk, holding a red wine gourd in her left hand that was larger than her upper body, and holding a red wine gourd in her right hand. There was a leg of an unknown beast.

The animal legs were obviously carefully roasted. The skin was golden and crispy, and the inside was white, tender and delicious. It was also exuding the aroma of fat and meat.

The monks present were all those who had achieved the golden elixir. They had already passed the fasting period, so naturally they would not be interested in this kind of delicacy. But the silly girl was full of appetite. At this time, she stuffed half of the animal leg into her mouth. After chewing it, she poured a gourd of strong wine into her mouth, and her cheeks actually showed a blush. color.

"You guys hiccup! It's just a hiccup! Are you this year's candidate?" The girl asked while hiccupping after drinking.

Many candidates present were frowning slightly at this time, but a strange look flashed across Liang Yan's face.

Because he had seen this girl before. When he and Song Ru arrived at Liangyue City, this girl came out to greet her. He still remembered that her name was Ye Qing, her cultivation was very advanced, and she had reached the late stage of Tongxuan Realm.

However, at this time, Ye Qing's aura was not revealed at all, and she looked like an ordinary person.

"Of course we are this year's candidates, who are you?" A candidate wearing a Confucian robe said with an unkind expression.

"Hey, I'm your examiner!" Ye Qing said drunkenly.

"It's a joke. How could Zhenjun Tongxuan of Wushuang City be so rude during the invigilation of the exam? If you were the examiner, then I would still be the palace master of the five major palaces in Wushuang City!" The former candidate in Confucian robes obviously didn't believe it, and now he laughed loudly. laughed.

However, his laughter did not last long, everyone heard a "pop!", and then the man in Confucian robes flew out involuntarily, breaking several towering trees on the roadside, and then barely stopped. Come down.

Looking again at this time, I found that the face of the man in Confucian robes actually had a bright red slap mark, as if someone had slapped him hard on the face.

"hiss!"

Many monks took a breath of cold air. You must know that although this man in Confucian robes does not have strong magical powers, he still has the cultivation level of the late Jindan, but now he was slapped on the face without anyone noticing. Seal, if I had used a little more force just now, would this person have already died?

You don't need to think about it to know who did it. At this time, everyone looked at Ye Qing with a hint of awe in their eyes.

This thin female cultivator stood up unsteadily from the ground, pointed at the man in Confucian robes in the distance with the animal leg in her hand, and stammered: "You are the only one who still returns to the five palaces." Palace Master? Hiccup, please stop laughing so hard!"

After she said this, she pointed at herself with her animal leg, still stuttering and said: "I am Ye Qing, the 'Dali Lord' of Linglong Palace, and this time... I am your third round of assessment. Examiner, you...all of you must listen to me, do you hear me?"

Although she still looked drunk, no one in the room dared to look down upon her because of her move just now. Among them, a few monks who were quick to see the opportunity had already stepped forward and saluted Ye Qing respectfully.

"Senior Ye is an examiner, how dare we disrespect him? I was rash before, please forgive me, senior!"

"Yes, yes, I have long heard about the reputation of True Lord Dali of Linglong Palace. Today, when I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. It is admirable!"

Many people began to flatter him, but in contrast to these people, Liang Yan took a few steps back without leaving a trace, trying to hide himself behind the crowd.

Although Ye Qing looks naive, she has a very keen sense of spiritual power. It can be said that she has a natural sense of smell. When they first met, she could see that there were four different kinds of smell in Liang Yan's body. Spiritual power, and even said that he was more powerful than Song Ru.

Fortunately, none of the monks present at the time took the girl's words to heart, otherwise Liang Yan would have been in an embarrassing situation.

Therefore, Liang Yan was quite wary of her. He was going to join Wushuang City, and he never thought about exposing his deeds. When he met a monk with such a keen sense, he would naturally stay away from her.

Just when the crowd was a little confused, a cold voice suddenly said: "Senior, please inform us of the rules of the third round of assessment so that we can conduct the assessment as soon as possible."

The person speaking was a female cultivator wearing a red robe. Her cultivation was in the late stage of Jindan. Her appearance was ordinary. She could not be said to be pretty, but she was not ugly either.

But the strange thing is that for such an ordinary-looking woman in red, it was better that she didn't speak. Once she spoke, many male cultivators present turned their attention, including Liang Yan! He only felt that there was an indescribable attraction in this woman, and there was infinite charm in every move and every move she made.

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been hit by some magic spell. He hurriedly ran the skills in his body, but found that everything was as usual.

"It's strange! This woman seems to be naturally charming, and her every move can attract men's attention."

Liang Yan was curious and looked at the two monks on the same team as the woman in red, and found that both of them were in the later stages of Jindan. One of them was tall and thin, with protruding cheekbones and a very cold expression; the other was broad-shouldered, round-waisted, with a fleshy face, and a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Brother Ji, do you know the origins of these three people?" Liang Yan couldn't help but ask via voicemail.

"This" Ji Lai shook his head and said: "There are more than a hundred candidates participating in the assessment. Ji only investigated a few of the most famous ones. It is impossible to inquire about everyone. These three people seem to be overseas loose cultivators. As for Ji doesn’t know the specific origin.”

Just as the two people were communicating secretly, Ye Qing in front of the crowd spoke.

"rule?"

Ye Qing shook the big wine gourd in her hand and said with a smile: "I don't have many rules here. Let's have a fight and see who has the harder fist. Whoever is stronger will pass my test!"

As soon as she said this, there was an uproar in the field. Each team was secretly separated by a distance, and everyone looked at the other candidates with a hint of vigilance.

At this time, Ye Qing turned around again, pointed at the tall mountain peak behind him, and then said: "Do you see the mountain behind me? Each of your teams chooses a mountain path to go up. Who will they encounter on the mountainside? I don’t know the team, but as long as you bring four exquisite stones to the top of the mountain, you will be considered to have passed my round of assessment. As for the top of the mountain, this is the examination room for your next round of assessment."

"Linglong stone?"

Most of the monks present realized at this moment that in the second round of assessment that had just been conducted, wasn't the token they got from the cave prisoners a colorful and exquisite spiritual stone?

"So what I just got is the Linglong Stone. This is the first time I've seen it!" Someone took out the Linglong Stone and played with it secretly.

"I heard that the Linglong Stone in Linglong Palace is a treasure in itself. Compared with the best spiritual stones, in addition to helping people practice, this Linglong Stone also has the effect of calming the mind and getting rid of distracting thoughts, which can reduce the tendency to become obsessed to a certain extent. Probability.”

"It turns out that this stone has such a magical effect! Today I have experienced it."

The monks in the field were talking a lot, but Liang Yan raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him. He saw dozens of mountain roads starting from the foot of the mountain and winding all the way up. Halfway up the mountain, there was a large thick fog, which obscured everyone's eyes. Without knowledge, it is impossible to see the route of the mountain road clearly.

However, looking at the winding appearance of these mountain roads, there must be many intersections halfway up the mountain. But which mountain roads will intersect together, no one can see clearly.

"How is it? My rules for this round of assessment are good, right?"

Ye Qing said with a smile: "Everyone relies on both their ability and chance! You choose a mountain road at will. No one knows who you will meet in the way. In short, the brave will win if you meet on a narrow road, and you can fight your way through it with your own magical powers. Way to go!”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became serious. At this moment, someone suddenly laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! This round of assessment is quite interesting, just what I want! If anyone here is not afraid of death, you can come and have a try with me!"

The person who spoke was none other than Situ Kuangsheng.

Without looking at the crowd, he just put his hand on the sword at his waist, stepped out, randomly chose a mountain path at the foot of the mountain, and walked forward without looking back.

With this person's start, everyone else also reacted. At this time, they all scrambled to choose a mountain path and started heading towards the top of the mountain.

Liang Yan naturally saw the trick. Although these mountain roads were intricate and covered with heavy fog, no one knew who they would encounter. But those who went up early could get there at the intersection of the two mountain roads. Lay an ambush, wait for work, and seize the opportunity.

"Let's go too."

Liang Yan sent a message, and Ji Lai and Li Xiran naturally had no objections. The three of them randomly chose a mountain path and began to climb up.

This mountain road is very wide and not too winding along the way. After Liang Yan and others walked for a while, they discovered that there were special restrictions on both sides of the mountain road.

Although these restrictions are not very powerful and can even be easily overcome, the purpose of setting them here is self-evident. It is obvious that they do not want them to leave the mountain road without permission, otherwise they will be deprived of the assessment qualification even if they violate the rules.

The three of them knew this very well and did not talk to each other at this time. They just increased their speed as fast as possible.

The mountain peaks hidden in the clouds and mist look calm, but in fact there is already an undercurrent.

About an hour after burning the incense, three figures came flying towards me at an intersection halfway up the mountain.

Among these three people, one is in gray robes, one is dressed as a scholar, and the third is a woman in Taoist robes. However, they are Liang Yan, Ji Lai and Li Xiran who came all the way here.

When the three of them came here, they all involuntarily slowed down and stopped to look around.

I saw that there were actually three mountain roads converging from below at this intersection. There were large blood stains near the intersection, as well as traces of magic weapons and spells. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

"I didn't expect that there would be three roads converging together. It seems that the other two parties fought first, and the winner has been determined." Ji Lai said thoughtfully, looking at the traces on the field.

"Looking at the blood stains and the aftermath of the spell, it must have been some time since the battle ended. I didn't expect that we were in such a hurry, but we were still much slower than others. Could it be that the mountain road we chose was more twisty than others?" Li Xiran asked with some confusion. He spoke.

"Most likely!"

Ji Lai nodded, checked the surrounding traces again, and then said: "It seems that this battle is very fierce. The losing side has crushed the token and was eliminated, while the winning side seems to have It’s not a good time, they must all be seriously injured. So they didn’t plan to ambush us here, but left here quickly and took the time to recover their spiritual power and injuries.”

"In that case, should we catch up?" Li Xiran asked.

Ji Lai had the same idea. Both of them turned their attention to Liang Yan, but they saw Liang Yan frowning and staring at the pool of blood on the roadside.

"wrong!"

Liang Yan suddenly shouted low, grabbed his left and right hands at the same time, pulled the arms of the other two people and flew back!
