Eternal Reverence
Third Assessment

Inside the fog, Li Chen noticed his consciousness fading away. The originally crowded valley involuntarily became empty. The Qingyun Path was in complete silence, to the point that one could not even hear their own footsteps and heartbeats.

"Something feels weird …"

Li Chen did not slow down but instead took his stride. He had to get out of Qingyun Road before he lost his consciousness.

The weight of several hundred kilograms began to take a toll on his body. When one walked further, it felt even worse due to one's qi fatigue, and at worst, there was a sinister fog.

***

"ah! Uh! Uh!"

In the thick fog, there suddenly sounded a loud cry, very pitiful.

"Murids are considered worthless and unworthy, who among you will pick them up."

Xiao Changfeng had a cold face.

"I'm going!"

An elder of the outer sect surged in the air like a huge bird and fell into the mist. A few seconds later, he carried a young man on his shoulder. The young man had a pitiful and frightening face that was covered in snot and tears.

“Older Wan, I'll hand it to you. '' Xiao Changfeng said to the elder without glancing at the young man.

Elder Wan was one of the elders in charge of the side job disciple, he nodded, “That is my responsibility, because a disciple who cannot pass through Qingyun Road is considered a side job disciple. ”

Slowly, the number of head disciples working odd jobs grew larger, from a few starting to become dozens at the moment. Each one of them felt ashamed or scared because of his wits.

“Older, I have a total of 135 points in the first two trials and it's already much better than the majority of people here. Isn't it unfair to think of me as a strange job disciple just because I can't get through Qingyun Road? ”The young man spoke in an angry tone.

Elder Wan replied, “It is useless even if you have 150 points with the first two tries but have an unstable determination. This can be reconsidered if you have 4-star Bone Root. ”

“If you feel it's unfair, you can go. '' This unfriendly elder like Elder Wan reprimanded the disciple.

The young man clenched his hands tightly but was finally unable to say anything more.

***

Not knowing when, Li Chen started hallucinating. The path under his feet had become a path made with bones, as dark red blood spurted out from under the bones. Li Chen had a sticky sensation and walked ankle-high in the blood.

Shortly after, the rain started to fall. Countless venomous snakes the size of chopsticks descended from the sky, some directly into Li Chen's clothes; some even wanted to sneak into his ears and nostrils.

After peeling off the layers of the small snake, Li Chen felt a breath right beside his ear. When he turned to look at her, there was a pale white face staring at him …

"Is this an illusion?" Li Chen tried to focus his eyes.

The illusion was too real, damaging his consciousness and making him drown in illusions.

Although Li Chen fell into an illusion, he continued walking. With his strong will, it allowed him to fight against illusions.

***

At the end of Qingyun Road, Xiao Changfeng and the elders were all waiting.

“With half an incense stick left, the assessment will reach its time limit. No one seems to be getting perfect grades. "An outer sect elder shook his head while laughing.

Just when Chen Zongming wanted to speak, he suddenly pointed towards the fog, “Someone came out. ”

"Someone out?" All the elders turned their eyes.

" Who is that?"

"Li Chen ..." Chen Zongming was shocked beyond measure.

Xiao Changfeng asked, "Older Chen, did you bring him here?"

Chen Zongming nodded, "He's the Li Clan from Yunwu City. He had normal bone roots, but his incredible perception gave him a score of 110 points, but I don't expect his determination to be outstanding either. ”

At first, Chen Zongming had not expected anything to Li Chen, but now, he was starting to have hope in him.

“A normal bone marrow?” Xiao Changfeng furrowed her brows.

Seeing Li Chen coming out of the fog, Xiao Changfeng gave his approval, “Li Chen, congratulations on getting full points on the determination assessment. ”

Those who completed the Qingyun Road in one incense stick received full points. After that, with each incense burn, it would mean a 10-point reduction; half burning the incense would be 5 points.

Among the seven from Yunwu City, excluding Li Fuchen:

He Ping had the best determination with 75 points.

Yang Kai, Zhu Hongxiu with 70 points.

Shen Tu Jue, 65 points.

Guan Peng, 60 points.

Shen Tu Liang did not make it through the Qingyun Road and was revealed to be a strange job disciple.

As soon as all the disciples came out of the Qingyun Road, Xiao Changfeng loudly declared, “Everyone with a total count of less than 180 points is passed down to a disciple who works odd jobs. 180 To 210 points would be an outer sect disciple of grade 3. 210 to 240 points, an outer sect disciple of grade 2. 240 points and above would be an outer sect disciple of grade 1. ”

The outer sect disciples were separated into 3 classes. Class 3 is the lowest and Class 1 is the best.

Different grades will receive different treatment.

The outer sect disciples of grade 1 had their own courtyards, while the 2nd and 3rd grade disciples had courtyards together in a large place.

Grade 1 disciples could purchase any sect item that was worth 1000 gold every month, with 300 gold for grade 2, and 200 gold for grade 3 disciples. Everyone knew that sect items were not publicly available and were sought after by many wealthy people but did not have the status of 'sect disciple'.Everyone focused their attention on Li Chen, who was the only 1st grade disciple.

"Family . "Shen Tu Liang was unwilling to accept the result, as he felt the judgement of determination was useless.

“Lucky b *****d! He actually entered the 1st grade. "Memelototti is the only 1st grade student, Li Chen. Guan Peng was in the worst mood ever.

"Older, for what reason can a normal bone root be a 1st grade disciple?" Guan Peng could not hold back anymore.

"Yes, he is just a normal Bone Root and is not qualified to become a 1st grade outer sect disciple. ”

“Murid-students of the outer sect of grade 1 should be given a normal bone root, even the 1st and 2nd star bone roots should also be removed. ”

Xiao Changfeng snorted disapprovingly, “Every house has its own house rules, we also have sect rules. The rules of the Cang Lan Sect stated, anyone with a total score that exceeded 240 points was a 1st grade disciple. Maybe you want to find the Sect ancestor to change this rule? "

"Older, must be joking. We just give our opinion. ”

Those who filed complaints felt fear for a moment. Asking them to look for the ancestors of the Sect? Isn't that a joke? What qualifications do they have for searching for the ancestors of the Sect? If the Sect ancestors were angry, then the entire Cang Lan region would be flattened.

But in their hearts, they had signaled Li Chen; after being given the chance, they would show him hell and prove that being a 1st grade disciple was not a good thing.
