Chapter 22 End, Each on His Own Path

"Wow, Lu Yun, you are so amazing."

Lu Liangpeng and Lu Tianhu came up at the same time, and said excitedly: "If the old village chief knew that you have a five-star root bone, they would definitely be very pleased."

The children in the mountain village are the most simple. Not only do they not have any jealousy, but they are sincerely happy for Lu Yun's talent.

"You are not bad either. You are all two-star roots and have the opportunity to become disciples of the martial arts academy."

"Well, the three of us will enter the martial arts academy together and bring glory to Lingxi Village!"

With a slight smile, Lu Yun walked away calmly, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

Before the medicinal bath, his root bone was four stars.

After two medicinal baths, the root bone turned into five stars.

So, before the medicinal bath, were Lu Tianhu and Lu Liangpeng only one-star top root bones?

Or is it that the reason why the root bone was improved is because they have a panel.

Looking at the backs of Lu Yun and the other two from a distance, Mu Qingyun's face was extremely ugly.

First, he was bothered by the bone matter, and then he found out that the country bumpkin he looked down on actually had a five-star bone, far better than his three-star bone.

This huge contrast was hard for him, who claimed to be a genius, to accept. Gradually, he felt jealous and unwilling.

Some people were jealous and unwilling about Lu Yun's talent, some envied him, and some treated him calmly, depending on the person.

Lu Yun ignored the gazes of the people around him, and walked to a relatively quiet corner with Lu Tianhu, waiting for the next assessment.

In fact, with a five-star bone, he didn't need to participate in the next assessment and could directly become a martial arts academy disciple.

But he wanted to see it, and whether he would participate in the end depended on the situation.

Time passed quickly, and the sun gradually shifted from the center of the sky.

The bone test of more than a thousand people ended.

Without any exception, there were only two five-star bones in the whole field, namely Xiao Chen, who had a top five-star bone, and Lu Yun, who had an ordinary five-star bone.

In addition, there were thirteen four-star root bones, fifty-two three-star root bones, and three hundred and twenty-seven two-star root bones.

This means that after the root bone test, there are less than four hundred people left.

Moreover, this is only the second assessment.

How many people will be eliminated in the unknown third assessment, and how many lucky ones will be left?

With the end of the root bone test, those teenagers with only one-star root bones and no root bones were expelled, and the lively central square became much quieter.

"Very good, you stayed again, and you are one step closer to becoming my junior brother."

Meng Hongfei glanced at the people in front of him and said lightly: "The last assessment is about to begin, you quickly line up in order."

Soon, everyone quieted down and stood in a neat square queue as quickly as possible.

"Lift up the force measuring column!" As Meng Hongfei's voice fell, sixteen heavily armored soldiers lifted a huge stone column and put it on the ground, immediately shaking the bluestone on the ground to pieces.

The entire pillar is black, about half a foot high and three feet in diameter. There are faint traces on the waist in front, which look a bit like the marks of fists and swords.

On the right side, there is a transparent line as wide as a middle finger extending from the base to the top, and there is a scale next to the line.

The scales are from one to one hundred from bottom to top.

"This is a force measuring column, which is used to test strength."

Meng Hongfei pointed to the strange black stone pillar in front of him and said, "Most of you are in the stage of entering the martial arts realm, specializing in tempering your body, improving your blood, strength, and explosive power. The last assessment is based on the strength of your body's explosive power."

"There are one hundred scales on the force measuring column, and one scale represents ten kilograms of explosive power. You are responsible for attacking the force measuring column with all your strength. Each person has three chances. If the power of the three explosions does not reach fifty scales, you will be eliminated!"

"The test begins!"

As Meng Hongfei's voice fell, the young men began to get ready, especially Mu Qingyun and others who had stayed at Tenglong Restaurant.

They were all in the late stage of the martial arts realm and the peak of the martial arts realm.

This last strength test was just a formality for them.

However, how could they be satisfied with just a formality.

"Excuse me, senior brother, can you use sword skills?" Mu Qingyun wanted to get back the previous dissatisfaction and unwillingness from here, so he asked tentatively.

"You can use any martial arts, including sword skills and boxing skills!" Meng Hongfei responded.

After getting an accurate response, one by one, they showed their weapons.

The weapons were varied, including knives, guns, halberds, hammers, axes, etc.

Xiao Chen just glanced at the force measuring column lightly, and walked out of the queue, not intending to participate in the test.

He has a top five-star root bone, and he is the only one in the Tongmai realm, so it doesn't matter whether he participates or not.

In response, Meng Hongfei just nodded lightly and said nothing.

The sword flashed, Mu Qingyun drew his sword and slashed with all his strength, chopping the force measuring column. With a bang, Lu Yun and others clearly saw a red light rising from the base of the force measuring column, extending along the transparent line as wide as the middle finger, and finally stopping at the scale of the word "eighty-one".

"Eighty-one scales!"

"So strong, his explosive attack power actually reached eighty-one scales!"

Someone exclaimed.

Feeling the shocked gazes of the crowd, Mu Qingyun enjoyed it very much, and seemed to have thought of something, and glanced in the direction of Lu Yun.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed him. He did not find any shock or other strange expressions on Lu Yun's face.

"Hmph, pretending to be calm!" Mu Qingyun snorted in his heart.

As long as he reached fifty scales, he would pass the test. His explosive power reached eighty-one scales, which was thirty-one scales higher than the qualified line. Such a result is simply unattainable for ordinary people.

In his opinion, Lu Yun was only in the middle stage of the martial arts realm, and he came from a backward and remote mountain village. He was probably even the worst second-rate martial arts. What qualifications did such a person have to ignore him?

The more so, the stronger his jealousy of Lu Yun became, causing him to ignore the most important problem.

Lu Yun's training time was less than one-tenth of his, and his root bone was the only five-star root bone.

Lu Yun was originally paying attention to the tests of others. Suddenly, he suddenly noticed something strange, as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After noticing it, his eyes quickly swept around, and when his sight fell to the right front, he suddenly stopped, because he saw a very familiar figure.

Silver-white robe, a calm expression, eyes indifferent but sharp.

Xiao Chen!

He has the best bones and the highest cultivation. He is undoubtedly the most dazzling among all the examinees.

But at this time, he actually nodded slightly to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was a little puzzled, nodded to the other party in response, and then retracted his gaze.

"Huh?" Lu Yun frowned slightly: "That uncomfortable feeling still exists, isn't it Xiao Chen?"

Immediately, he glanced around again, and his eyes met a pair of eyes.

"Is it him?" When he saw Mu Qingyun's cold eyes, Lu Yun instantly determined where the previous uncomfortable feeling came from.

This kid seems to be a little wrong.

Through Mu Qingyun's eyes, Lu Yun can feel that the other party seems to have a lot of malice towards him.

"I have only met him once, so he won't have any ill will towards me!" Lu Yun secretly laughed at himself in his heart: "Do I have the legendary evil-attracting physique?"

After laughing at himself, he retracted his gaze and secretly remembered Mu Qingyun.

"So strong, he actually scored 83 scales."

"That one is not weak either, he scored 89 scales."

Up to now, almost half of the people have completed the test.

Among them, Mu Qingyun performed the best, scoring 81 scales. Now someone scored a higher scale, which immediately attracted attention.

"91 scales?!"

As the test progressed, someone finally broke through the 90 scale mark. Lu Yun glanced at the young man and knew that the other party was one of the previous owners of Tenglong Restaurant.

Next, Lu Tianhu and Lu Liangpeng were tested one by one. Both of them used three chances, but they did not reach 50 scales and walked back in great frustration.

In this regard, Lu Yun did not know how to comfort them and could only choose to remain silent.

Sometimes, for frustrated people, the best comfort is to do nothing.

Walking out of frustration by yourself is better than any comfort, and it is the fastest way to grow.

"I have decided. Since I can't become a martial arts student, I will join the army and start from the lowest level of soldiers!"

In the square, Lu Liangpeng raised his head and looked at the sun gradually setting in the west, and the whole person was full of vigor.

Looking at Lu Liangpeng's face that was radiating glory again, Lu Tianhu smiled slightly, and at the same time strengthened his determination in his heart.

Three teenagers from Lingxi Village greeted the warm sunset, each with their own thoughts.

In the square, their shadows were very long.
