Chapter 41: Disqualification!
In front of the gate of the outer gate station, when Luo Xiu and his party arrived, there was already a sea of people.
Being from the Martial Palace, one would not be treated specially by the outer sect. The eighteen palace masters left Luo Xiu and others here and then entered the outer sect's garrison.
In order to ensure the fairness of the assessment, the responsible examiner is an outer deacon, and the eighteen palace masters will also watch.
Mixed among the crowd, Luo Xiu could hear many people talking to each other.
"The Xiaoyaowai Sect only accepts three people every year. Even though we know there is little hope, there are still so many people coming to take the exam every year."
"Yes, I heard that there are quite a few masters coming this time. Those guys who came from the Martial Palace are all at the second level of Qi Sea!"
"What's so great about the second level of Qi Sea? The Wang family in Yushan City has a genius. He is only fifteen years old, and his cultivation has already entered the third level of Qi Sea!"
"Isn't it, so perverted? A Qi Hai Sanlu under the age of eighteen is enough to enter the outer gate. He is only fifteen years old, my God!"
"Look over there, it seems that there are people from the Eighteen Cities Martial Palace. Several of them are at the second level of Qi Sea. There is a high chance that they can pass the assessment."
Many people also looked at Luo Xiu and others.
Not everyone will enter the Martial Hall to practice after the age of ten. There are also some secular families who have their own inheritance to cultivate their descendants. Generally, those who enter the Martial Hall to practice are from common people or disciples from ordinary small aristocratic families.
At this moment, the door of the outer gate opened, and an old man with white hair and beard stepped out and said loudly: "Everyone, I, Zhang Luliang, is the deacon of the outer gate and is responsible for the examination of this entry examination. Now everyone lines up in order. , conduct an assessment!”
"Wow!"
As soon as they heard that the assessment had begun, the crowd suddenly became noisy and chaotic. Many people began to rush to line up, hoping to be in front and go to the assessment first.
Some of the martial arts disciples around Luo Xiu also moved and pushed forward desperately.
"Zhang Luliang?"
Staring at the old man in front of the outer gate, Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. It was this Zhang family ancestor who sent three disciples to assassinate him.
"Get away!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind Luo Xiu, and a young man with a strong build and strong muscles squeezed forward. Many people nearby who came to take the assessment were knocked over by his squeeze.
This sturdy young man had amazing strength. Those who came to take part in the assessment were all Qihai warriors. Some were dissatisfied and wanted to take action, but he slapped him and flew him away. For a moment, other people nearby became afraid and quickly gave way to him.
Luo Xiu was also in front of this young man. A strong wind hit him from behind his head. It was the strong young man who took action, intending to grab the boy in black and throw him aside.
"Um?"
Luo Xiu's face turned cold, and he turned his head slightly to avoid the opponent's grasp.
"You still dare to hide? Get out of my way."
Seeing that the black-clothed boy in front of him actually dodged his grasp, the sturdy young man sneered. His hands suddenly glowed with a faint green light, and his true energy condensed, and he curled his fingers into claws.
What he displayed was clearly a martial skill, and coupled with his inherent brute strength, it was difficult for ordinary Qi and Sea Level 2 people to compete with him.
"roll!"
Luo Xiu's eyes were cold, and before the strong young man's fingers caught him, his right leg suddenly moved.
"Bang!"
The burly young man felt a strong force of energy hit his chest, and his tall and burly body flew out on the spot, knocking down several warriors behind him who came to participate in the assessment.
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken. With Luo Xiu's shooting speed, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, my attack will already hurt you before you can hit me.
Seeing this scene, many people nearby looked at Luo Xiu with fear. A few people who originally wanted to squeeze in front of him were secretly glad that they did not provoke the boy in black.
"Boy, you are looking for death!"
The sturdy young man stood up, three heads taller than Luo Xiu, and rushed towards Luo Xiu like an angry lion.
Luo Xiu took a light step and dodged the attack of the strong young man. Then he hit the opponent's abdomen with a punch, and his strong energy exploded. The strong young man's body arched like a shrimp, and suddenly A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Luo Xiu would never show mercy to such a self-righteous and bully guy. He raised his hand and slapped the strong young man away with a big mouth, and two bloody teeth flew out.
Yuan Feishan next to him felt his face was burning when he saw this scene. He had been beaten like this by Luo Xiu two days ago. Although the swelling had subsided after applying ointment, there were still some bruises.
The sturdy young man got up again, his eyes almost ready to spit fire, but he did not dare to attack Luo Xiu again.
"Boy in black, I remember you, just wait for me!" The strong young man knew that he was no match, so he said a harsh word and ran to the back to line up dejectedly.
The few people in front of Luo Xiu felt uncomfortable all over, but Luo Xiu had no intention of moving forward to grab the position and just stood in his own place.
In fact, no one cares about this kind of fighting for position in the queue, because it is also a kind of competition. On the road of martial arts training, everything must be competed. The stronger you are, the more things you can win. The more you have, the more privileges you have.
The concept of respecting the strong has long been ingrained!
There are hundreds of people who come to take part in the assessment, and they are all young warriors who have reached the Qi Sea realm under the age of eighteen. It is not bad that the Eighteen Cities Martial Hall can only produce one or two such talents every year, and the entire Yunlong County, hundreds of people every year.
Luo Xiu knew very well that the fourteen-year-old Qihai warrior was nothing among these hundreds of people, and it was even more insignificant when placed in the Xiaoyao outer sect and the inner sect.
But he has full confidence, because it actually took him less than a year to reach this point from the second level of body training!
This achievement, if placed in the inner sect of Xiaoyao, absolutely no one can achieve it. This is why the master of Qingyun Palace values him so much, and even for his sake, he did not hesitate to offend Zhang Luliang, the deacon of the outer sect. Killed the head of the Zhang family.
Because Luo Xiu is from Qingyun Martial Palace, the better he performs after entering Xiaoyao Sect, the higher his achievements will be, and as the master of Qingyun Palace, he will get more benefits!
The first item of the outer sect assessment is a test of cultivation, similar to the black stone tablet in Qingyun Martial Palace.
The second assessment is a test of martial arts, which determines the level of talent based on the level of martial arts practiced, the level of understanding, and the level of talent.
The third item is to test the will. People who practice martial arts must have a firm will to achieve success. The theory of will is illusory, but Xiaoyao Sect still has methods to test a person's willpower.
The final fourth event is a competition. If you get the top three, you can get a lot of bonus points.
After the four assessments are completed, the examiner will determine the ranking based on the total score. The first place will receive three Qi Refining Pills and a fifth-level martial arts!
Luo Xiu didn't take the fifth-grade martial arts seriously. From the treasure house of King Buchen Wu deep in the Baqi Mountain, he got eighteen fifth-grade martial arts, as well as sixth-grade martial arts and seventh-grade martial arts.
It's just that in recent times, Luo Xiu has put all his thoughts on Kuai Jian Jue and the Wheel of Life and Death, and has never spared any time to choose a martial art that suits him.
"The Qi Refining Pill can allow Qi Sea Realm warriors to break through a small realm after taking it. It is a good pill."
What Luo Xiu values more is the Qi Refining Pill, which is not very valuable, because he has a lot of pills on hand, but they are too high-level and he would not dare to take them based on his cultivation level.
The stone tablet used to test the cultivation level is based on the level of the warrior's cultivation level. The brighter the light emitted, the higher the cultivation level.
The first test will be comprehensively scored based on the warrior's age and cultivation level.
"Sixteen years old, second level of Qi and Sea, 6 points!"
"Eighteen years old, second level of Qi and Sea, 3 points!"
"..."
The full score for each of the four assessments is ten points. Master Qingyun Palace also told Luo Xiu that with his fourteen-year-old second level Qi Sea cultivation, he should be able to get eight points in the first test.
Every year in the outer sect's assessment, there is basically no hope for people with the first level of Qi and Sea. Even if they come, it is to gain some knowledge. Those who can pass the assessment and enter the outer sect are at least the second level of Qi and sea, and most of them are at the third level.
Suddenly, there was quite a commotion ahead. A short boy walked up to the stone tablet, put his palm on it, and circulated his energy.
"It's Xu Ping, a young genius from the Xu family in Shuiyun City. It is said that he is also at the third level of Qi Sea!"
"Buzz!"
A bright light lit up, and the crowd let out bursts of exclamations.
"Fifteen years old, third level of Qi Sea, 9 points!"
The whole place was in an uproar, and many young people with the second level of Qi Sea couldn't help but feel a little desperate when they saw this result, because it was obvious that Xu Ping would definitely occupy one of the three places to enter the outer gate.
Not long after, there was another person who shocked the whole audience. He was the genius of the Wang family in Yushan City. His name was Wang Can, who was also fifteen years old and ranked third in Qihai. He scored 9 points.
The test of cultivation continues. In addition to Xu Ping and Wang Can, there are two more people who have the third level of Qi Sea cultivation.
However, one of them is already 18 years old and only received a 6-point evaluation. The other one, a 14-year-old third level Qihai named Mo Chuan, received a 10-point evaluation, the first full score!
At this moment, it was Luo Xiu's turn.
He walked up to the stone tablet and placed his palms on it. Under the movement of his true energy, the stone tablet glowed.
However, unlike the light inspired by the true energy of other warriors at the second level of Qi Sea, Luo Xiu's light was even more brilliant, completely comparable to that of the third level Qi Sea!
"Holy crap! It's another third level Qi Sea. Don't we, who are at the second level Qi Sea, have no chance?"
"No, the zhenqi fluctuation of this boy in black is clearly the second level of Qi Sea, but the light he stimulates is equivalent to the third level of Qi Sea. Is there something wrong with the test stone tablet?"
People around him were talking a lot and expressed doubts about this result.
As the examiner, Zhang Luliang cast his gaze over, frowned, and glanced down at the list.
"Qingyun City Martial Hall, fourteen years old, Luo Xiu?"
Seeing this name, Zhang Luliang's cloudy old eyes shone with coldness.
More than two months ago, he secretly sent three disciples to Qingyun City to kill this kid, two at the fifth level of Qi Sea and one at the seventh level of Qi Sea. However, after so long, there has been no news from those three disciples.
Now that this boy named Luo Xiu appears here, does it mean that his three disciples are in danger?
In fact, Zhang Luliang, who has a lifespan of hundreds of years at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm, does not care at all whether it is the life or death of his disciples or the life and death of the head of the Zhang family.
What he cares about is face. Everyone knows that he is the ancestor of the Zhang family in Qingyun City. A teenage boy dares to let the Qingyun Martial Palace execute the head of the Zhang family. This is undoubtedly not giving him Zhang Luliang face. So he thinks Luo Xiu deserves to die!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Master of Qingyun Palace who was sitting next to him. Zhang Luliang said solemnly: "He is clearly at the second level of Qi Sea, but he used methods to inspire Qi that is comparable to the third level of Qi Sea. He doesn't follow the right path at a young age. , deprived of assessment qualifications!”
"What?"
The examiner's words suddenly caused an uproar among those who came to take part in the assessment.
