Talisman Emperor
Chapter 171 – Sect Entrance Test
The first item on the sect entrance test was the age of the bones.
In front of the crowd stood a middle-aged elder in a dark green robe, and he sat quietly behind the table with his eyes closed in meditation, and he was sitting quietly, while on his side were some District Court disciples who were busy working.
A completely round and dark black stone was placed on the table, and when the youths participating in the test placed their hands on it, the, it would accurately test the age of their bones.
The disciples who wanted to be recruited by the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect this time needed an age that was completely below 20, and the bone age test was for the sake of preventing some cultivators from slipping. After all, it was difficult to clearly distinguish the age of the farmer only from the outward appearance. For example, Grand Clan Elder Su Lingfeng looked like an immature youngster due to the cultivation techniques he had developed, and only the age of the bones would not be fooled.
"Mo Zhai, 19, quality!"
"Feng Weihui, 13, quality!"
"Yue Zhan, 26, disqualified!"
…
Among the voices announced from the disciples of the District Court, those with qualified bone age shouted loudly in excitement, whereas those who suffered the tragic fate of disqualification felt dejected. There were even some people who were sobbing and trying to commit suicide. At this moment, the wide variety of people's attitudes and emotions were clearly portrayed.
Chen Xi sighed nonstop as she watched. Fortunately, Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei were only 20 and 17 respectively, and they were able to pass the test very smoothly. This caused the brothers and sisters to sigh in relief, as they managed to obtain two wooden tokens.
These two command tokens have the age, name, and other information written on them, and only by obtaining these command tokens can one participate in the second item, the constitutional test.
Chen Xi brought the two of them to the constitutional examination immediately.
The quality of the constitution is related to the speed of cultivation. The better the constitution, the easier it was to advance in cultivation. On the contrary, the worse the constitution, the more incomplete meridians would cause one's achievements to be not great even if one cultivated, the more, and even at a level where one would find it difficult to take a step forward and forever have no fate with the path.
Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei were already at the Violet Realm Palace right now, and although their constitution was not the best, it was on top, allowing them to easily pass the examination. During this process, Chen Xi had always been watching from the side, and he had clearly noticed that the constitutional examination had eliminated several thousand people. It could be seen from this that not everyone could cultivate for immortality and search for the Dao.
When it was almost noon, Chen Xi brought Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei to a place that tested their will.
This was a circular field occupying an area of 3km, and 64 apricot yellow flags formed the Grand Devilrock Illusory Formation according to its deep placement.
The disciples participating in the test were required to sit cross-legged in a grand formation. When the grand formation was activated, their entire body would suffer boundless pressure, as if they were carrying something extremely heavy on their backs, and it was extremely difficult. Moreover, different types of illusions would appear in their minds, such as a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, raging demon qi, and raging vengeful spirits, respectively, causing their body and mental state to undergo extremely harsh tests.
The longer one can persist in the grand formation, the firmer the will is, and the strong determination means that one's heart towards the Dao will be firmer. It states that one can never lose heart before failure repeatedly, hacking the way forward through all difficulties, overcoming different types of greed, and overcoming all kinds of greed, and sweep away all obstacles on the road to seek immortality and not go as far as getting lost .
In this world, there were too many people with extraordinary natural wealth who were reduced to mediocrity or became crippled due to their lack of firmness of will. Whereas ordinary people with normal natural endowments could instead rely on overwhelming determination and willingness to step into the ranks of experts and laugh proudly around the world.
As a sword cultivation sect, the Wandering Sword Sect concentrated on the Sword Dao, and their requirements towards one's will were extremely harsh. So the test of wills was a very important test among all the tests, and in the entrance test of the previous sect, the majority of young geniuses were eliminated by this test of wills.
The requirement to pass this test was very simple, one only had to sit cross-legged in the Grand Devilrock Illusory Formation and endure for a period of time to burn incense. Of course, the longer one persisted, it represented that one's will was firmer, and when that person entered the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect in the future, it represented, the treatment received by that person would be excellent as well.
Before long, Mu Yao, Mu Wenfei, and the other 998 people gathered in a number of 1,000, and they were set to enter the formation.
When everyone had been sitting cross-legged properly within the grand formation, a white-robed elder outside the formation formed a deep seal and activated the grand formation.
Instantly, a huge stone silhouette appeared above everyone's head, and at the exact same time, a huge and extremely heavy pressure violently crashed!
It was as if a small hill was stuck to their shoulders.
"AH!" A stone silhouette had just appeared when a young man seemed to have not expected him to suffer such a terrifying pressure, and he was caught off guard, and he was caught off guard, it caused his entire body to be pressed flat on the ground as he emitted waves of miserable shrill screams.
In practically the time for a few breaths, there were several tens of young men and women who were unable to endure and give up, and there were even some people who could not give up in time, causing them to faint on the spot and be transported by the grand formation.
Away from the great formation there were another 1,000 people who would participate in the will test in the next batch. When they saw this scene, their faces turned pale, and their hearts were terrified, to the point of drifting down their throats. Of course, there were many people who revealed excited gazes, and they were burning with vigor.
In the surroundings, there was even a dense crowd, and most of them were the seniors and guards of the young men and young women who had come to witness this scene, yet all of their expressions became gloomy and extremely anxious.
Chen Xi was among the crowd, and her eyes stared full of concentration unblinkingly at Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei.
Before long, over 700 people had been eliminated from 1,000 people, and Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei fortunately still survived.
Meanwhile, only half of the time for incense to burn had passed.
At this moment, most of the young men and women in the formation had their eyes tightly shut as sweat flowed like a small stream to wet their clothes.
Their expressions were either furious, angry, or completely indifferent ..This was caused by their mental state being affected by the various frightening scenes formed by the grand formation being illusory.
This will test was indeed difficult to the extreme, their body and state of mind were put under pressure during the test, and if they did not have an enormous amount of willpower and willpower, it was clear, it would be absolutely impossible to last for a time for incense. to burn .
The look of Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei was not bad, although their expressions seemed to be in a sorry state, but there were no signs of destruction. Only Mu Yao slightly opened his lips, and strands of blood crept along the corners of his mouth, causing him to appear a little sad.
After time for incense to burn.
When they saw this scene, the surrounding atmosphere became even more oppressive. Out of a thousand people, 987 were completely eliminated. Isn't such a passing ratio too small?
Not bad, this brother and sister do have extraordinary natural talent. Chen Xi looked at Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei in a grand formation and could not help but remember her younger brother, Chen Hao. A few years ago, Chen Hao had experienced a test like this before being able to join the Wandering Sword Sect, right?
Just when Chen Xi's mind surged to its limit, the grand formation was already disabled, and Mu Yao, Mu Wenfei, and the other 11 people came out in succession. They all had extremely tired expressions, yet their eyes were flashing with happiness and pride.
To be exact, since it could be the leading man of a thousand people, such an outcome was indeed worthy of pride.
Thirteen of them arrived before the table and waited for the white-robed elder to hand out the command token.
Right at this moment, a handsome young man walked in from a distance, and a District Court disciple behind the table raised his head to sweep his gaze before frowning. "Liu Chen, you were knocked out when the great formation had just activated, why are you …"
This District Court disciple had not finished speaking when the white-robed elder who had always closed his eyes in meditation suddenly opened his eyes, and then he waved his hand to disturb the disciples as his lips moved slightly, and then he waved his hand to disturb the disciples, what he said was unknown.
The disciples of the District Court instantly understood secretly, and he did not say a word before quickly passing the wood order token. One can participate in the next test by having this wood command token.
Liu Chen laughed arrogantly and cupped his hands towards the middle-aged elder before leaving proudly.
When they saw this scene, the young men who lined up behind to participate in the examination instantly became in an uproar. Some were envious, some felt it was unfair, and some even shouted loudly the words 'unfair' and 'cheating. '
"Hmmm!" The white-robed elder coldly snorted before slowly closing his eyes.
“Do all of you want to participate in this exam or not !? You all actually dare to disturb Elder Hua Hong's rest? You all really don't know manners! If you don't want to take part in the exam, then go now! ”A District Court disciple raised his eyes to sweep around before cursing loudly.
Instantly, not a single person dared to let out a voice questioningly, and the scene became extremely silent. No one wanted to trouble themselves, and not to mention there were many people among them who had used their relationships to bribe their way long ago. When they saw this scene, they all laughed with understanding, and they were even more confident of being able to pass the examination.
Chen Xi frowned. He recognized this middle-aged elder. He was called Hua Rong and an elder in the District Court who was in charge of logistics and odd jobs. But having never come into contact with this elder before, Chen Xi's impression of this fellow was only limited to seeing that elder once.
But at this moment, when he saw Hua Rong bravely helping that Liu Chen safely passed the most difficult test of desire, a strand of disdain instantly surfaced in his heart.
Right at this moment, a young man walked out from among the 13 people who had passed the test of will, his complexion dark, his appearance plain and ordinary, and he was wearing an old and tattered beast skin. There was also the smell of sweat on his body, making him seem like an ordinary child of a hunter, and when compared to the surrounding young men and women who wore embroidered clothes and jade robes, he said, it looked like he was living in a different world than them. One in heaven, the other on earth.
He was clearly used to the gazes shooting at him from the surroundings, making him a little confused and awkward, and his dark face even flushed completely red.
“What the heck! This kind of nonsense can also pass the test of will? ”
"Damn it! So stinky! How many days has this guy not had a bath? ”
"Hmph! So what if he passes the test of wills? Look at his stupid appearance, he would definitely not be able to pass the comprehension test. Want to join the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect? At least look at yourself in the mirror. ”
When they saw the dark young man's appearance was uncomfortable and uncomfortable, the surrounding environment instantly sounded with waves of ridicule.
What astonished Chen Xi was that after the young man in black heard the ridicule, he had instead calmed down, he even carried a strand of decisiveness and ruthlessness between his thick and dark brows, and he's very stubborn and won't give up.
In the crowd, there was also a middle-aged couple whose animal skin was tattered. Their appearance was very simple and honest, and their skin had been tanned until it became very dark. Obviously, they do strenuous physical work all year round.
The savage-skinned youth was their son, Zhu Xun.
Their entire family had been hunting on the mountain for generations, and they passed their days poor as if everything had been washed clean. This time, they had come to the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect because they hoped that their son Zhu Xun would be able to pass the examination and join the sect, as they wished, so that he would not have to suffer poverty difficulties like they would in the future.
At this moment, when they saw their son being insulted, this married couple tightly closed their lips, and their eyes showed a sad expression, yet their eyes were fixedly staring at their son, who was very close to them, it seemed to want to give him encouragement through their gazes.
“You're called Zhu Xun? In the test will this time ... ”Murid District Court had not finished speaking when he was once again bullied by Elder Hua Hong. Elder Hua Hong raised his eyes, glanced at Zhu Xun before shaking his head, and although he did not say anything, his attitude was already very clear.
This District Court disciple was instantly stunned, and he lowered his head to announce this result after quite a long time.
"What?! Why like this? ”
"Hmph! Not a big deal. Under the gazes of everyone present, only 13 people had passed the test, and this result would definitely be known to the higher-ups of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect. Since then Liu Chen had passed the examination by relying on his relationship, there must have been someone who was eliminated. ”
"Oh, so this stupid kid has been replaced by another!"
"Could Elder Hua Hong not be afraid of being exposed by others?"
"Cheh, are you naive? This was something that was understood secretly. Among the great figures in the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect, who had no relatives and friends? They give way out to their own family members, and who would get tired of paying attention to them? Perhaps Liu Chen was Ling Kongzi's illegitimate son. Of course, this is just a joke. Not to mention, the ones who were eliminated had no authority or background, and it did not matter if they were offended. Could it be that they were still thinking of taking revenge on the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect? Is it different from seeking death? "
The surrounding crowd instantly resounded with discussion, and their gazes at Zhu Xun contained compassion, scorn, humiliation, and pleasure at his misfortune.
Instead, Chen Xi frowned, and when she recalled Dong Fang, Wang Wan, and their younger brothers and sisters, she thought to herself. Otherwise I meet, that Dong Xuanhong and Wang Yunshi would probably be able to smoothly pass all the tests as well, right?
The disciples of the wealthy clans had relationships and money, they could bribe them. But what about students from poor families? They walked very far with great difficulty and experienced all kinds of difficulties to arrive here. If they were to suffer unfair treatment, then who would feel sorry for them, who would help them?
